    Your all Smufs!!! :rotfl:

    (((hugs for Zoe))) I found the best way was to just throw the test at them and run away :D

    And yes, thats Amber.
  • Its a very difficult situation to be honest. I've got Jaimee and lou, and then met jase and i caught really quickly with Mia, but it was such a nightmare pregnancy that we said we would maybe consider one more in about 5years or so. Mia was 11 weeks early and the thought of going through all that again just turns my stomach. I honestly dont think im strong enough to go through all that again so soon, Amelia is going to be one on monday.

    Huge hugs, we are all here if you want to talk. I know the feeling of not wanting to do it again, its why i only have one. She wasnt premature but she has so many problems that i wouldnt want to risk it happening all over again:(

    Dusty, she will sleep too long if I don't. Wake her ever 4 hours during the day, but not during the night. If not she'll be too sleepy to feed, she had low sugar levels and is still a bit jaundiced. Once she is older I won't, but for now I have too.

    Zoe, this one was a surprise, had been told not to have any more after DS2 and was expecting lots of problems, but it went really well, longest pregnancy (only 3 weeks early and that was because we decided to bring her out rather than push our luck) and no major problems. But I know how hard it is o make that decision, go with what feel right, we were told to terminate, but it never felt right and we decided at the termination appointment, after getting a second opinion to go ahead with the pregnancy. But that felt right for us. Best of luck.
