Hi Stargazer

Thank you for your kind words. Hes due on the 15 June so not long to go now! We have just moved house and I have been doing overtime at work to help pay for it. Plus my hubby has professional accountancy exams so its been all go here really. How are you? Hows Lucy and Matthew? Funnily enough Lucy would have been at the top of the list if this little man had been a girl:) Any more recent pics of her? I must update mine of Alex as hes a big boy now:). Sorry for the late rely but I havent got internet access at home yet until thurs this week so I havent been able to get on here much.

Hope your all well.
Take care

Hi Maz, gosh sounds like you've been very busy, I occasionally think my life can be hard work but looking at what your achieving, heavily pregnant and with Alex in tow you deserve a medal!
You need to put your feet up and rest!! Yeah fat chance I know!
Lucy doing well, 7 months now and still a titch. When we go in restaurants and sit her in a high chair people are amazed she can sit up, they think she's much younger. We are on holiday at the moment, arrived yesterday in Selsey on the south coast. She's very confused as we are not at home and out of routine.
We are minus Matthew, at 17 nearly 18 he decided to stay home, but with the risk of parties (sorry Gatherings they are called these days!!) he's staying with my parents. I remember you saying Lucy was one of your favourite girls names, do you remember that Alex was one of ours for a boy? Will try and post a recent pic of Lucy in next day or two, will do it on this thread.
All the best for your last few weeks of pregnancy, they really are precious days when you are carrying your baby. Don't forget to ask for a blissful epidural! Take care too, keep n touch,

Sorry to crash, but just wanted to say Hi to Maz and say, oh my life, how come you're less than a month off your due date! Only seems like 2 minutes since you said you were pregnant.

I hope that all goes well with the delivery of your little man

I'm just starting on round 4, so spare a thought for me back on the jabs...

Thanks ladies

Sorry on just got back to into the land of internet thanks to sky taking so long!

Carolyn really glad Lucy is doing well. It's funny how we like the same names isn't it. Bet she looks beautiful and best things come in small packages. Have you had a nice holiday or are you still away? We have been enjoying the weather especially seeing as I am on maternity leave now! My hubby has finished his accountancy exams some feel like we have some freedom back and or lives back for a few weeks before baby Bainbridge number 2 arrives! Will let you know when he decides to make an appearance, not too soon we hope as need a rest for a bit Smile

Wendy time has flown by so quickly it's unreal! It's 3 weeks now till little mans due date. As you can see above I have not had any internet access for ages so didnt know you were going again! Good luck with everything I really hope it works out for you this time and you get your much wanted sibling for Theo. I will keep popping on and stalking you now as usual. Thank you for your kind wishes, will let you know too when he arrives. Give Theo a squeeze from me as usual:)

Take care ladies
Will be in touch soon

Hi Maz, how are you getting on, can't wait to hear when you have your little one. We had Lucy christened on Sunday, was a wonderful day for us to celebrate our much longed for daughter, thanks to my hubby's speech the whole extended family and friends now know we did IVF but I don't mind, I'm quite proud of it.
Wendy, good luck with your cycle, really hope it works out for you
Here is a pic of Lucy from Sunday, will do it on a separate post in case I don't do it right xxx

Lucy and her proud Daddy

maz5107 · 02 Feb 2009

Aww she's beautiful Carolyn. So glad you had a lovely day on Sunday. Will keep you posted with any progress. Having a new central heating system installed this week so hoping he stays put for a bit longer!

Wendy, good luck with your treatment. I'm sure i have read on another thread that your down regging. Will keep an eye on how your doing.

Take care

Carolyn, Lucy is gorgeous, looks like you had a lovely day at her christening, events like that always make me end up in tears! lol.

Maz, I bet you've not got long to go now until baby boy 2 makes his appearance, I bet you're so excited.

You're right i'm down regging. I went for my down reg scan this morning, but the nurse couldn't be sure she'd found my endometrium (sounds bonkers to me!) so I ended up having a blood test (which I've had on my first 3 cycles anyway), but they only do the tests on the blood on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, so I've got to wait for tomorrow for them to test it to see if I can start stimming. Hoping so as I've been down regging for 19 days now (due to being on holiday last week), so we'll see. At least I'm not as busy at work at the moment, so I'm hoping less stress means this cycle might go a bit better than the last one.

Anyway, I'm not posting that much, but will try and keep you up to date. The down regging stage is always so dull!

Thanks for your comments Ladies, all the best to both of you in the next few weeks, you both are going to need feet up as much as possible!
Here's another pic from after the Christening that someone has just posted on my facebook, couldn't resist showing it here

Hi Carolyn

Sorry I posted on the trying again naturally thread the other day and forgot to post on here too! Lucas John was born on the 14th June a day early weighing 7lb 7 oz! He is gorgeous and we are thrilled to have him. Alex keeps smiling at him and tries to touch him bless him. Managed to have him in Leeds as I wanted despite us now living in Ripon so everything worked out as planned. Hope you, Lucy and the rest of your family are ok.

Take care

stargazer11 · 09 Jan 2011

Congratulations I'm so pleased for you. Lucas is such a lovely name, another favourite of mine. I didn't realise you live in Ripon, visited there not long ago (last year) went round the cathedral. Yorkshire Dales is a favourite of mine and we go there quite often, its doable in a day if we get away early enough. Are there pics on the other thread, I would love to see a pic of Lucas, I bet you are all so thrilled, so fantastic to have 2 boys close together, they will get to play together and keep each other occupied! All the best to you and your family xxxx

maz5107 · 02 Feb 2009

Thanks Carolyn

Yes only recently moved to ripon in the last few weeks. DH and I have done so much over the past 6 months we really must have been mental! I haven't posted any pics yet as need DH to help with photo bucket etc and he's out watching football at the min bless him, first time out in months! We have been to the olympic torch event which was outside the cathedral today, it was quite exciting really despite it being a bit manic with the crowds at the end! The Yorkshire dales is also lovely and not that far from here. We stayed in a gorgeous hotel called Yorebridge House which is in Bainbridge not that long ago.
We are thrilled to have our two boys and like you say will be able to play together. I will try and post some pics ASAP.
Thank you for keeping an eye out for me and asking how we are doing.

Take care
