Trying for a Baby part 5....

Chakani

I will be having a home birth next time (barring any complications). I had DS in hospital, which was fine, but I couldn't wait to get home. I also had a very fast and straightforward labour for a first time (3 hours), so hoping number 2, if it happens, will be speedy too. If it is, I'd rather be set up at home rather than crossing my legs in the car! The other factor for me is that the MW is there for the whole time, not popping a head round the door every hour and leaving you to get on with it. That might not be a problem with future labours, as I'll know a bit more what to expect, but it frightened me. I'd also have done without the pethidine if I'd known how close we were, which more one-to-one and frequent checks would have told us, I think

It is a factor that we are now 1 mile from the nearest labour ward, instead of the 25 miles it was with DS, so if there were a problem, I could be moved quickly.

I'm jumping up and down in impatience at the moment, I can't have my implant out til I've had my carpal tunnel ops, so will be the 27th of April, then we can start TTC. I'm a bit worried as well that I've assumed it will happen easily after DS being an on-the-pill accident. I'm also a bit shocked at being sent off for blood tests before even being PG, and the amount of scanning and testing that goes on if you do get PG! I missed all that first time round, got one scan at 26 weeks, the week we found out, and then a few MW appointments, and that was it.

Hope you all have lots of lovely sunshine today. I am going to plant some pansies and veg with Oli in our mini-garden, then do a marathon cooking session to prepare for when I come home with a useless hand, and to make the time go faster

Wait til Sat to test again;):)


What cd you on? How strange!!!
And thanks:) I miss you guys too:o:o I'm a terminal lurker, besides I don't think I'll be able to stop stalking you guys til Twink gets her bfp:D

AF only seems to be showing in the afternoon, still not heavy enough for me to think that it is the real AF. Otherwise it would be CD3 today?
MMC says AF due on sunday so maybe this is pre AF spotting - no bl00dy idea what's going on..:mad:

dusty you've just summed me up, i've no bloomin idea either. I though AF arrived a couple of days ago and now nothing, i am wondering it's it due to the fact that i started taking Agnes Castus if so then it's a wonder herb maybe it just means i'm about to have a normal length cycle.
Still haven't POAS as i really don't believe that i could be preggers.
Just been told about someone's son's girlfriend being pregnant with twins, that's the second set i've heard about via work in the last month, and i don't think there has been a history in any of their families.

Since your last pregnancy was a short one, you'll enjoy your second pg doing it from scratch, with 2ww etc:)

I hope your POAS works this time though, otherwise you'll need to get to the docs so you won't end up finding out at the last minute:D

I have just written my speech!! Let me know what you guys think x:D

I know it’s not really traditional for a bride to make a speech at her blessing, let alone before the groom but anyone who knows me knows how hard it can be to keep me quiet and today is no exception. However, I promise to try and keep it short as I know the day is full of speeches.


Thank-you to all of you for coming here today to share our day with us and the unconventional way we choose to get hitched & celebrate our wedding. I know for the majority of you it has meant making huge efforts in rearranging your personal lives as well as arranging travel and accommodation and we appreciate that more than you realise. Of course there are some people and some faces missing as I look around today who, for various reasons, cannot be with us to share the day. I’d like to make a toast to these people who are far away today but still in our thoughts, or looking down on us, hopefully with a glass of bubbly of their own. So would you all please raise your glasses for a moment to ''Absent friends and loved ones''.


I’d also like to thank some very special people while I am up here.


Mum. There just are not words to say how much I owe to you or how much I love you. If anyone has ever epitomised the phrase ''my rock'' it’s you. You have always been my role model, my confidante and my biggest fan. Over the years you have given me a combination of love support and sound advice coupled with free rein to go and make a total muppet of myself. Which I frequently did. But you were always patient and understanding with me afterwards. I am sure I have given you a few grey hairs but I hope I have made you proud and made all your hard work worthwhile.


And my Dad Most people say how lucky they are to have a wonderful father. I am truly blessed for I have you to call my Dad. You offer me unconditional love and support, and always have. Without you I would not be where I am today and I am very proud and honoured to have such a special man to call my dad.

Today I also gain another mother, Helen from the day I met you I felt welcomed and accepted. I am very lucky to have such great in-law. Thank-you for raising Nicholas so well and rest assured I will look after and love him just as well. Am I right in thinking there’s no money back guarantee for him? No? Worth a thought. I have a small gift here for you from me to say thank-you for welcoming me into your family.


And our wedding party. I know Nicholas has some gifts to give out and some thank yous of his own but I would like to take time to thank my bridesmaids. Lauren, my chief bridesmaid is also my daughter & my best friend


And my two other bridesmaids – Bronte & Isabella. You are both beautiful, amazing girlies and I am more proud of you than you know.


Lastly onto the reason I am stood here in another dress & more new shoes!! For the last time! But I do have two more back up dresses if needed!! Nicholas well I did tell you all you had to do today were shave and turn up. You did chicken and you look amazing. I don’t think I have ever loved you more. I have chosen because you loved me for my ''our song'' and the words have always said how I feel about you. I’d like to reiterate a few of those words to you now. Don’t worry I won’t inflict my singing on you!!


For all those times you stood by me

For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

With that I would like to let you all breathe a huge sigh of relief that I am going to shut up, and turn you over to my husband, possibly the only time he can ever have the last word without it being ''yes dear you’re right''. Over to you chicken.
