Ok, Seth and Ella, we're ready for your birthdays!

And we need some new ladies to break on through to the other side.

AFM: Kind of blah but love to all.

zevi · 02-02-2009, 05:29 AM

Hey Ladies! It's been awhile since I left a comment, but I have been reading all about you.
Emily - sorry you are blah. The trip to Alaska sounds like fun and we are doing the same debate about a local shorter version of the same dilemma. Looks like we are bringing our girl along with us, but it also looks like our logistics are far less complicated. If there is a big-box store nearby in the places you will be, look at their return policies. If you can return anything for any reason (used or unused) within their time-frame, you can get what you need while you are there and just bring it back. We did that on our last trip and it was a huge savings of hassle.
Robyn - Happy almost b-day to Ella! She is gorgeous and you must be so proud of her and her little independent self. Saw her other pics on FB and they are amazing.
Dixie- how is Thomas? How are you?
Andrea - updates???? are you still hanging in there?
Jess - Logan is so so so cute! Love the new pic.
Everyone else - hope you are well.

Around here - the usual craziness and all that. The Girl has gotten 1 tooth and the second seems to have broken through. Not too much teething pain, so that was good. She was refusing solids for awhile but recently got the hang of it (at least if it's mixed with apples). She has started to become mobile and we are amazed at every day that goes by with how much she learns and grows. Everyone who meets her comments on what a happy little person she is, so that is pretty fun.

Emily, I hope to be joining you soon

If all works out well, how long will I have to wear the patches?

thebabyproject · 02-02-2009, 12:41 PM

T- 10 weeks at least
Zevi: Good to hear from you!!!

AFM: more later, DH is home today. Which is both good and bad.

SOOO EXCITED THAT WE MIGHT GET T here!!!!

**BC-tnahope** · 02-02-2009, 02:06 PM

Emily, Thanks

Enjoy your day with DH. I am using Vivelle dots now and they are much much better.

**BC-tnahope** · 02-02-2009, 04:28 PM

LOL, I love it Robyn

jpoo · 02-03-2009, 07:25 AM

I've been MIA...did T POAS??!!!! I have to post stalk you!! That would be AWESOME if you came over!!

I'm on my way to a meeting...but I wanted to pop on and tell you that...

I AM IN THE THIRD TRIMESTER!!! Whodathunk this would EVER happen for me??!! OMG!

jeppy · 02-03-2009, 11:02 AM

Hope everyone is having a good week so far! I'm pooped!!! I just seem to not be able to get enough sleep and it drags me down big time!

Logan has a head cold - it is mostly just a cough still and I wish I could make it go away! I got Mastitis last Thursday and was out all weekend with the crud and pain of that nasty infection. I'm starting to feel better but still feel so tired.

Jenny- I was thinking of you the other day and hoping you are doing great! Third trimester already - how amazing!

Robyn - Ella's birthday WOW!

Wandseb · 02-04-2009, 01:27 AM

Hi girls, long time no post! So sorry ... its an internet access issue combined with serious apathy and an advanced case of being institutionalised ...

Ella's birthday? Seriously? I am tearful too!

My DS started 'big school' last Friday, now there was one for the tearful books! As for me, I am still in hospital, eleven weeks and counting. I am 34 weeks tomorrow and that will be a BIG celebration because no one ever believed I would make it that far. I was told today I have set a new hospital record, the last one was 8 weeks with an open cervix and ruptured membranes. I have made 11! I feel pretty happy today.

I only have around 3 weeks to go, at the most. If I dont deliver naturally before then I will be induced at 37 weeks, around 26 Feb or so. I can't wait, let me tell you. I am going very very mad in here ...

I am still catching up on everyone else's news, sorry if I have missed anything big. I think about you all often, you have been a comfort to me even if I haven't written that down before! Thanks one and all xxx

Love, A x
