A little

about my pregnancy. We started trying to have another baby this past march. I was diagnosed with pcos and told my chances would be slim to none without the use of fertility drugs. So we started simple and had all the needed test's and started on oral medication called clomid and did routine u/s to check for follicle maturation, it all looked good but both rounds of clomid didn't help me to ovulate. Then they gave me a shot of hcg along with the clomid in may and guess what on June 8th I woke in the middle of the night thinking I was having a hard attack the pain in my chest and back was so bad my husband called 911, needless to say the doctor came back 3 hrs later and said well there is nothing I can do for you because you are going to be a mommy and you seem to have had a bad case of heartburn. How funny I felt. It was well worth it though because we had received the best news in the world,,,we were going to have another baby. We told everyone, we thought it was a boy because everything was so different we even bought boy clothes,,,well God always gives us a miracle and I guess he thought we needed another girl, because we recently learned and saw very clearly that this was another princess, We went through so many names and finally decided on Juliana. Hope everyone is doing well and we will keep you updated as things move ahead.

October 22 ----23 weeks 3 days or something like that

I am bored and tired but can't sleep. seems to be the usual situation these days. today was a rough one my oldest daughter seems to be having a hard time behaving herself in school and she is so smart but so defiant with authority. so lost as what to do everyone says it gets easier as the get older i find it to be the opposite,,,its harder now then when she was little. The little one is moving all around today all day hasn't really slept much, she plays these games where one day she will move move move and the next she sleeps all day and makes me worry. its only the begining of the worries lol. one good thing today was that my daughter actually felt her little sister move for the first time. well keep u all updated. hope everyone elses day was a bit better than mine lol.

october 26th 1 am

I am so tired but the baby is kicking my side so hard that I can't get comfy. oh well having her will be well worth it. I am very emotional lately i can cry at anything, i thought that went away I guess not. My husband loves me but he is mean sometimes cause he is tired but I just wish he would be a little kinder because when he is mean it makes it harder. I wish he would feel a closer bond to her sometimes I think he is still upset about it being a girl. I just hope he loves her ...i know he will. He is very invovled he goes to every single doctor appt that I have. We have one with our new midwife tomorrow so I am hoping things go ok. I believe she is going to take me out of work because I keep getting contractions and they are not little ones. oh well I think I might try going to sleep now. we will let you know how the dr goes tomorrow.

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We�re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you�re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

hi,

oh its so nice to hear from you, your brittany looks so grown up, shes beautiful! and your julianna is gorgeous too, shes a big baby like lexi.
i have'nt had lexi weighed for a while so don't know how much she weighs but im guessing around 20lbs, shes in 9/12 month clothing and some clothes are 12 month onwards, she looks so much older than she is, everyone thinks shes a boy as she hasnt alot of hair! haha.
lexi is better now, she had bad diahorreah the other day all night and day and her bum was so sore, she was crying in her sleep, it really choked me so i can't imagine how upset you and your husband have been over julianna, im glad to hear shes getting better, you must have been so scared.
summer is still having night terrors but they have calmed down since we let her come in bed with us, she sleeps all night in her own bed 2/3 nights a week, but the rest of the time she'll come in with us around 2 am, im cool with that though as id rather that than her be as distressed as she was, i know eventually she'll sleep all the time in her own room, shes so happy when she does, and makes a point of telling everyone!!
dale loves his sisters so much, hes so good with them too, he's doing really well at school, and getting really handsome, he's so humble though he doesnt realise how good looking he is.
im so happy for you that you're having a boy, i said you would! haha your like me now.
i will get some pics up soon, i have to use my hubbys camera from his phone, so tend to forget!
im sorry to hear you've been poorly, i suffered with abcess when i was younger, i know how painful they are, and its the last thing you need when you're pregnant!
hope you get well soon, i cant wait to see your little baby boy, you look after yourself and take it as easy as you can.
love to you all, ill keep a look out for you xxxx

annie3 - Saturday, 6 September
congratulations on finding out its a boy!!!! you are so lucky. i have 2 girls too and am desperately hoping for a boy this time round xxx

angeleyes3 - Thursday, 4 September

hello,

how is the pregnancy going? not heard from you in a while, hope you and your family is ok.

mine are poorly at the moment with a cold virus, lexi hasnt been herself for nearly a week now.

im doing fine, would be nice to catch up, missed talking to you xx

Iansmommy - Friday, 15 August

Thanks for commenting on my son's picture. I love that little guy. I took a look at your page and I just loved this pic of both your girls- they're beautiful!

angeleyes3 - Wednesday, 25 June
hi, i looked the other day for your pictures but couldnt see any new ones, just had another look today, your girls are gorgeous, you must be so proud, brittany will break some hearts before long!
sorry if my last message ended abrupt, i had to rush off quickly. you have a lovely family, i reckon you will have a boy this time, ooh im so excited for you, even though they are close together i think it will probably be easier in some ways than having a 2 year gap like mine, in a sense you'll be bringing 2 babies up together rather than a defiant toddler and a baby lol.
make sure you rest plenty this time, well as much as you can lol. its hard work with 2 close together but so rewarding, yesterday i saw an old friend and her little boy was trying to stroke lexi's face, and summer put her arm across her to protect her, it was sooo sweet, and lexi is mesmerized by summer, she sits and smiles at her while shes playing. lexi is really stong in her upper body, she can sit up straight with little support from me, im barely holding her, shes not as strong in her legs like summer was, summer could stand up straight at 11 weeks, but like my mil says she has a lot more weight to hold up lol!
your julianna looks like a little chubby like my lexi, its so cute when they are chubby.
keep posting me updates on your pregnancy, you can still moan about your aches and pains to me later on, even though im not pregnant ill still listen! lol
speak soon xxx

angeleyes3 - Sunday, 22 June
hey you, nice to hear from you, im glad things are going ok for you. so it looks like you're in the dark about your due date again, so be ready for anytime from dec onwards lol!
lexi was 16lb last time she was weighed, shes still a big baby but seems to have evened out and doesnt look as chubby, but shes so strong, shes like a little wrestler lol!a

i know what you mean about teenagers, our dale is doing really well at school and is really good at helping out, but he can be a pain in the arse at times and no speed in him what so ever!a

summer is getting worse, i really don't know what to do with her, i was 2 hours with her last night, she was such a good sleeper before, she sometimes woke but would go back to sleep ok, but now she just wont let me leave, its really getting me down now, i felt like i was going to loose it last night, im just so tired, lexi sleeps all night but if i leave summer, she'll wake lexi up and then ill be stuck with 2 screaming kids! i only had 4 hours sleep last night and that was split into 2hours before she woke and 2 hours after, as then i cant get back to sleep, she repeats herself over and over, i reassure her but next thing shes out of bed again, arrrgggh! i lover her sooo much but shes wearing me down, shes just too bright ive tried everything possible, rewards, ignoring etc.
im sorry for going on
take care xxx

angeleyes3 - Wednesday, 18 June

hey hun how r u doing? hope the pregnancy is going well, my period was late this month, i was shitting myself lol, but it came at last!

im having problems with summer at the moment, shes so clingy, lexi is sleeping through the night, i take her out of the cot while shes asleep at 11pm and feed her, she then sleeps from 7pm till 7am, unfortunately summer is waking up, shes having night terrors and as she doesnt have her dummy anymore, is now trying to use me as a comforter, i tuck her in and try to leave the room, but she wont let me, its really getting me down, ive tried everything, including star charts, which worked for a week and a half, im so tired its gone beyond tiredness!
lexi is so cute, shes so placid and such an easy baby, shes so different to my other two. shes on solids and they are helping with her reflux, she hasnt held her breath since she started on them.
anyway keep in touch, id love to hear how your pregnancy goes, you're very brave lol! but it will be worth it in the end, it will be so lovely for them being so close in age, i cant wait to see summer and lexi grow up together.

take care sweetie xxx

angeleyes3 - Wednesday, 28 May

O.M.G!! im so happy for you, god how will you cope!! lol
oh it will be so lovely for them both growing up together. at least you'll have everything you need!

we are all fine, lexi is starting to roll, and trying her best to sit up from laying down, she has to sleep propped up in her cot because of her reflux, and she pushes herself forwards, shes really strong! i dont know how much she weighs as not been for a few weeks, ill get her weighed next week though.
ill get some pics up too.
wow, i still cant get my head around the fact you're pregnant again, no more for me, 3 is enough! i think 3 is a lovely number, i look at my 3 and feel so proud of them, dale is doing really well at school and getting excellent grades, hes always struggled so im really proud of him, summer is still loud, mouthy but adorable, shes so funny and sweet one minute, and like a devil child the next, bit like me! lol!!
i really missed talking to you, time flies so fast though doesnt it? i saw an old friend today and hadnt realised it had been 5 months since i saw her, she saw me when i had 8 weeks to go and she was pregnant with her 3rd, now shes only got 5 weeks to go, its crazy!
take care sweetie and im glad juliana is so much better, i cant wait to hear how this pregnancy goes! love to you and your brood xxxx

angeleyes3 - Wednesday, 21 May
hey, been so busy i forgot to come on here! im sorry, id not forgotten you, but its just been so hectic and summer has been very demanding lately, attention seeking!
how is julianna, is she doing ok? i hope to hear from you soon, we should say a date when we will come on here so we can have a chat and catch up. lots of love xxxx

AmAnDa`N`BaBy - Tuesday, 13 May
hey so i was reading what you had said about you daughter having bronculitis, not to be too forward but perhaps you should consider changing pediatricians, my daughter has had her cough for about a week and today i took her to the doctor and she told me that she had bronculitis, she gave her a breathing treatment right then and there, and then perscribed me 2 medications albuterol, and prednisolone. She also made a follow up appointment for just one week. I am just concerned that your doctor maybe doesnt see some things as severe as they may be. I have a very aggresive pediatrician and she has done so well with my daughter, i just thought i would tell you about things that im expierencing perhaps it might help you too. If you want to talk or have question or anything i am rarely on this site, my e mail is amandagarrett78358@yahoo.com.

angeleyes3 - Wednesday, 30 April
hi hunnie,

not heard from you in a while, how are things? is everybody ok? we are all fine here lexi now weighs 14lb! shes 58cm long too!! shes growing out of her clothes so fast, shes now in a cot, which ive raised for her due to her reflux, she loves it!
lexi is now on a comfort milk for sensitive stomachs and this seems to be helping her generally although she still suffers with the reflux but at least now shes more content most of the time.
she is now sleeping great, she sleeps from 8pm till approx 2.30am then till 6.30am, so i feel better for getting more sleep. shes smiling loads and shrugs her shoulders and silent laughs which is hilarious. summer is as fiesty as ever lol. and dale just plods along as normal!
hope you are all doing well, missed speaking to you take care, love to you all xxxx

rickiepooh12 - Wednesday, 16 April
thank you for your reply. i'm glad that your daughter is so much better now. praise the Lord!!!!

my son is getting better also but he's still weezing a little bit. he's being treated by antibiotics also and mucus treatment.

sometimes it scares me because when we're sleeping, i can hear him breathing a little hard because his nose is covered up with mucus and he wakes up surprised.

i might try steaming the bathroom with hot water and giving him medicine after that. thank you for your advice!!

i'm also glad to share this with you.
thank you for praying too. i'll keep you updated of how he's doing. God bless you=)

angeleyes3 - Sunday, 13 April
hi nice to hear you're doing well, julianna teething already! i bet you're getting loads of sleep lol!
lexi is down to see a pediatrician on the 24th april, so not long to go now. i've put her on another milk, cow and gate comfort for babies with sensitive stomach's, and that is helping her a bit, because its thicker she isnt sicking as much and she is going longer between her feeds. shes now sleeping loads better on a night because of it, but she is still bringing up reflux and holding her breath, just not as often, so at least that something.
summer is growing up so fast, she has now gone a week with no dummy, and at last is sleeping all night! she is really helpful and helps me to put all our clothes away, i ask her to put them upstairs on the beds for me, but she even goes as far as to put them away in the drawers! aah bless her, she still has her stroppy moments though, adam says she takes after me lol!
so nice to hear from you, i hope you all keep well, hugz n kisses xxxx

dionne - Sunday, 13 April

Thank you for the comment. I hope you had a good pregnancy. Reading your page, i can feel your pain about the heartburn. I've had heartburn now for the past 3 months and its horrible!!
other than that i'm just trying to enjoy the rest of my pregnancy (11 more days yay for me!) but i can't wait to finally meet my lil girl!

rickiepooh12 - Wednesday, 9 April
hello. I just saw your question on bronchitis section about your daughter when she was 3 weeks old. How is she since then?? My son who is 2 months old caught bronchitis from his sister and he's being treated right now. How long did it take for your daughter to get better?? what kind of treatment did she get?? Even though this is my 2nd child, I'm very worried about him...

angeleyes3 - Tuesday, 25 Mar
oh my god how bizarre! i had to take the morning after pill 2 weeks ago as we slipped up, i didnt even think about contraception at all, till it dawned on me the next day, what an idiot! lol, anyway i went and got the pill from the docs a few days ago, but we didnt play it safe like we were supposed to, i reminded him to pull out- so to speak! but he got too excited and forgot!lmao, so im going to have to take a test in a couple of weeks, im praying im not pregnant as 3 is def enough for me!
time is flying by, dont you think? it feels like longer than 5 weeks since i had her, and she looks like shes older, shes in 3/6 mths clothes already, shes really long aswell as chunky!lol
ive had it rough last few days with lexi as doc gave her gaviscon for her reflux but it upset her stomach, i stopped giving her it as it was making her worse, she was just awake most of the day and night, really restless and i was exhausted, she slept really well last night and went from 9pm till 2am before her next feed, so that ws great, i think she will be a good sleeper when she gets over this reflux, when she is settled she sleeps great, but some nights she wakes up and screams for 2 hours, i cant cope with that, i felt like jumping out of my bedroom window the other night, she had been crying all day and night!
she still holds her breath every day, its more now that she cant breathe as she sicks milk out of her nose and mouth at the same time, its really frightening, she did it today when i was in the toilet, luckily my son walked into the bedroom as she was doing it, whats scary is she doesnt make a sound so you dont know shes doing it unless you're looking at her.
its hard when your going through totally different development stages, like we are with our kids, dale is hormonal and a pain in the arse lol, summer is clingy to me and wont let her dad take her to bed, wont let anyone do anything for her but me, so thats draining, and you have a hormonal daughter, which must be worse! and a newborn!
lexi is on formula and i give her bottled water cooled down, just give her a bit twice a day before her milk and she should get better, it works for lexi, if her stools start to get a bit too soft i cut back.
take care all of you, i hope britt calms down a bit for you. speak soon xxx

angeleyes3 - Monday, 17 Mar
hi how are you all doing? is julianna still getting better?
lexi is getting worse with the reflux, she is having a full bottle of milk and then throwing up most of it and then wanting more straight away, shes holding her breath every day now. ive readup on reflux and it says she holds it because of the pain, it burns their throat when it comes up! god i hate this so much, summer was never as bad as this, sometimes she stops breathing when mik is coming out of her mouth and nose at the same time, i cant sleep properly as im always listening out for her, i cant wait for her to grow out of this.
once i get adam to show me how to upload pics from our camera ill put some of me and the rest of my brood on here, so you can see who you're talking to, dont know if thats a good thing but hey! lol
keep safe and well all of you xxxx

angeleyes3 - Saturday, 15 Mar
hi, oh im so glad to hear she is better, ive been so worried for you. its made my day!
we are all fine, lexi has reflux like summer had, i told health visitor i was worried about her as she keeps holding her breath and milk comes out of her nose, she said it was reflux again, shes worse than summer was, she held her breath the other night and luckily i woke up, i have her propped up to sleep like i did summer, but its till frightening, she also did it the other day in town, summer was playing up and i was trying to feed lexi, i got up to summer, while still holding lexi, and when i looked down she was holding her breath and loads of milk was poring out of her nose, i cried my eyes out when i got home, shes ok though and should grow out of it when she starts to sit up, summer did.
anyway shes putting on weight besides possetting loads, and last week weighed 10lb 8oz!
summer loves lexi now and loves to help me out, cant wait to hear from you again, take care xxxx

angeleyes3 - Friday, 7 Mar
hi, hope your eldest daughter had a lovely birthday. sorry not been on for a few days. how is julianna today? ive been thinking about her every day, hoping she would be ok, i know i dont know you really well as we only know each other from on here, but i feel like i know you well, so it has upset me to think of her being so poorly.
lexi is fine but she has snuffles, its not a cold, but i think its possibly some mucas still left behind, she keeps holding her breath when she sneezes, its like shes scared and she goes all rigid, and shakes her head, it frightens the life out of me and brings back memories of summer when she used to stop breathing, its horrible, so god only knows what you must be going through with your little bundle.
i feel she will be ok, shes strong and a little fighter, if shes feeding better and smiling it sounds promising.
you're in my thoughts all of you, i know it must be a really hard time for you all at the moment, but it will make you a stronger family and bring you all even closer than you already are.
ill keep looking out for your messages, take care sweetie, big kiss to little gorgeous julianna xxx

julz - Thursday, 6 Mar
