Hi Evansangel & Congratulations!

Not too bad, thanks - just have to keep pinching myself to belive we have got this far! I'm still very tired though (although probably some of that is down to stress over the work situation) and really waiting/hoping for that 'burst of energy in the 2nd trimester' that the books keep promising me I will experience - LOL!
Is this your first?

Yeah it is my first baby but second pregnancy. I lost my first one in April

Im exactly the same, i cant quite belive im almost 16 weeks, it seems unreal like im going to wake up and im not pregnant anymore

Im waiting for the spoke about "burst of energy" to. Im still as tired as i was in the first 12 weeks, and still have morning sickness

Is this one your first? x

Somnium

EA - am also waiting on that burst of energy, and am only a few days ahead of you guys. I Know what you mean also about it not being real, we have been trying for 6 years for this lil one

Evansangel

6 years? Im glad it finally has happened for you now

We were only trying for a short while but i thought it wouldn't happen as i was being tested for PCOS cause i was having AF once every 2 weeks, and my doc said it would be hard to concieve. Turns out he was wrong i didn't have it. Scared me for no reason.

I am still so tired, couldn't sleep last night and had to wake up at 7:30am this morning for work
Just had to have rubbish fruit for breakfast instead of warm cornflakes lol x

Somnium

lol EA I had to settle for chocolate ready break (still cant decide if I like it or not), was gonna have toast but the bread was a lil hairy! debating a grapefruit too, oh the hardship hehe.

Ya 6 years was along time and the last few were the hardest, just hope it doesnt take another 6 for another one, altho as this one was IVF will just have to wait and see.

Good that the PCOS was a false call even tho it must have been scary for you. The tiredness is so awful I slept alot of yesterday but think with the miagraine was probably for the best.

Evansangel

Oooh chocolate ready brek is yummy mixed with some choclate syrup (for ice cream) and sugar. very unhealthy but lovely

I go through stages of wanting toast, and we buy bread and i decide i dont like it anymore and it goes off, so when i do like it again we have none lol.

The fruit i had for breakfast is now down the toilet, i just had 1 grape and i feel terrible now lol.

Im always tired, this 2nd trimester being the best is a lie! haha.

I hope it doesn't take you long to have another to. How many do you want?

A woman who i used to work with, she couldn't concieve naturally at all. She had IVF with her first two. Then she got ill and was given anti biotics and they did something to her fertility and she got pregnant naturally I love hearing storys with happy endings x

Somnium

Have always loved the idea of three , but would be happy with two aswell. Hate the thought of LO being an only child, but then my nephew has turned out a great only child. What will be will be and I'll be gratefull no matter what though.

Erm,what sudden burst of energy ?

I'm still waiting for it................

Hope you are all OK & Congrats to Evansangel.

My feet are 4 times the size they were pre-pregnancy! Seeing them is no problem whatsoever, reaching them is a completely different story :rotfl:

I'm having my burst of energy today! So far I've done 3 loads of laundry, all the ironing, washed all the windows in our 4 storey house inside and out (sash windows) washed the front door and step for the first time since we moved in 2 years ago and done a pile of paperwork. Am looking after DD atm while OH drops DS on a playdate, then he's going to take DD swimming while I carry on washing dirty fingermarks off the walls. Last time I did this much housework, DD arrived that night, so I am hoping that I don't actually reach 38+6 when the section is booked, but maybe get the 20.09.2009 date instead! Having said that, this is also the day when most of London will be sealed off for some stupid cycle race, so perhaps it isn't a fantastic time to be trying to get to the other side of the city when I have no shoes which currently fit on my bloated feet!!

OMG :shocked: It sounds like a sure sign the LO is on its way.

If the worst comes to the worst you could always hitch a ride on the back of one of the bikes !!!!!

You could get a police escort through London
