Here We Go Again...
 
I'm pregnant...again.

At the moment I'm still in shock. It's been totally unplanned, not that we've been particularly trying not to, but given our difficulties conceiving Max, we've just been avoiding sex during ovulation etc, and Dazza travels so much that in real terms, we don't actually get to make love much.

I guess we should have thought more about it during the 'silly season' and his lack of travel and well, I guess just all those things added up, and of course Murphy's Law.

So anyway, I'm going to need to download a bit here over the next while. This has put a big hole in a lot of our plans for this year, so it's going to take a while to get my head around.

Thanks for listening.

bluecuracao 01-27-2012 09:06 PM

Congratulation, Ali...I think?

classicman 01-27-2012 09:10 PM

Dunno what to say. How does Dazza feel?
Are you ok with this or is it something you both didn't want or...?

Yeh - tell me to shut up anytime now.

infinite monkey 01-27-2012 09:11 PM

You would've avoided pregnancy no holds barred if you wanted to. But you want to have a baby. To that, I say congratulations. :)

Aliantha 01-27-2012 09:15 PM

Thanks Blue. We're happy with the idea, but it's just going to change so much for us, the least of which is my personal goal to lose a lot of weight this year. I guess it's the best excuse to go off my diet, although I think with eating healthy it'll be ok.

We've talked on an off about having another one, and at first we fully intended to, but then I had so many problems with Max during preganacy and after that we kind of tacitly agreed to shelve the idea, probably permanently...

...but as IM says, we were never totally against the idea, so it's good. i just hope things are a bit easier all round this time.

Thanks guys.

regular.joe 01-27-2012 09:17 PM

Congrats!!!!!! HOOAH!!!!

monster 01-27-2012 09:18 PM

or...

Pam
Emma....

Sheila!

:D

Clodfobble 01-27-2012 09:21 PM

I bet Max will like having a buddy close to his age. And if it's a girl, just imagine the kind of protection she's going to get from all her older brothers! It'll all work out for the best, Ali. I'm happy for you and your family.

Aliantha 01-27-2012 09:21 PM

or none of the above. lol

We'll have to wait quite a few months to find out the sex. I guess after that we'll have to think about names.

God, and I'm going to have to recall all the baby stuff I've given away. lol That's going to be awesome!

classicman 01-27-2012 09:22 PM

After having three boys - Here's hopin you have a girl.

Aliantha 01-27-2012 09:23 PM

Thanks Clod. If it's a girl, I fear for the life of anyone who messes with her. lol The older two are protective enough of Max.

infinite monkey 01-27-2012 09:32 PM

Being the only girl is awesome!

Think of it the other way...all girls! OMG. :lol: I also know families who had just boys, and what good boys they turned out to be.

This is good news. Yay!

monster 01-27-2012 09:43 PM

I heard thst if it's not a girl, they will do an exchange within 10 days if you keep the receipt.

zippyt 01-27-2012 09:47 PM

congrats !!!

ZenGum 01-27-2012 09:55 PM

Wow!

Congrats, Ali. I'm sure things will work out well.

Must have lost the receipt for Thor, huh? :lol:

Spexxvet 01-28-2012 08:48 AM

Congrats, Ali. You may be apprehensive now, but it'll all go away when you hold that tiny little snuggly baby in your arms. Nothing better.

My wife had gestational diabetes when she was preggers with our oldest, and was heavy when she concieved our second. She didn't want to go back on the needle, so she ate heathily and exercised, and lost weight while carrying a healthy baby with an average birth weight.

he was a trojan horse -very cute and no trouble for the first 10 days or so......

Sundae 01-28-2012 09:30 AM

Major congrats, Ali.
As Infi said, if another baby was a horrifying idea then you'd be on contraception or Dazza would've been snipped.

This one is a surprise and even if not planned, will be born into a stable and loving family.

If you have a girl, you'll have to have a special babygro printed for her:
No, Mummy wasn't just trying for a girl, she was just horny
and on the back
Daddy would've been happy with a blowjob

Aliantha 01-28-2012 03:42 PM

Spex...thanks for that. It's what I needed to hear. I'm going to talk to the doc about it on Monday anyway and see what the party line is on this sort of issue.

Sundae, I think I'll give that tshirt idea a miss. lol You're terrible Murial!

Pete Zicato 01-28-2012 10:09 PM

Congrats Ali.

Mrs. Z lost weight with Zing 1 and kept it off with Zing 2. She was walking every day. Seattle walks -- steep hills.

DanaC 01-29-2012 07:41 AM

Woot! Congrats Ali.

Sundae 01-29-2012 09:40 AM

Marial.

kerosene 01-29-2012 06:15 PM

Congratulations, Ali! It will be nice for Max to have a little buddy, and at some point they will be great entertainment for each other.

Aliantha 01-29-2012 07:29 PM

I think you're right kerosene. I also think Max will be a great help when the new one comes along. He'll be nearly 4, so i reckon he'll be good for lots of fetching a carrying. Especially since he loves helping me out usually anyway. :)

richlevy 01-29-2012 11:14 PM

Congratulations.

Aliantha 01-30-2012 10:31 PM

I guess it's official now. I've had my first day of morning sickness. :( 3 pm and finally feeling a bit like I'm almost ok. Super excellent.

Congrats... on the baby not the nausea.

limey 01-31-2012 06:51 AM

Congratulations!!! ( a little late but we've had comms difficulties locally ...).

glatt 01-31-2012 07:09 AM

Wow. I just saw this. Congratulations, Ali!

Aliantha 01-31-2012 03:51 PM

Thanks guys.

wolf 01-31-2012 06:35 PM

Wowee! We're going to be pretend aunts and uncles! Congratulations!

Aliantha 01-31-2012 06:56 PM

lol...yeah again wolf! Thanks.

Axel 01-31-2012 09:33 PM

Aliantha! Holy crap! Someone from stormchat! Hello!

BigV 01-31-2012 10:16 PM

Axel! Holy hail! Someone else from stormchat! Hello!

And welcome to the cellar, Axel. :)

Aliantha 01-31-2012 11:01 PM

AXEL!!!! Wow! Now there's a cute young thing I never thought I'd see again! ;)

How are things going?

And welcome to the cellar. I think you'll like it here. :)

Nirvana 02-04-2012 01:04 PM

Congratulations on your new adventure! Enjoy most of it! {not this part :vomit:}
but all the rest :jig:

infinite monkey 02-04-2012 04:19 PM

So, like, Stormchat is a bit of a misnomer, eh? They don't actually storm you with chat much, do they? :lol:

I expected a bunch of posts really fast-like and powerful. I am disappoint. ;)

Aliantha 02-04-2012 04:50 PM

lol...stormchat was once a pretty cool place, but then it got disturbed by over moderation and I got banned for being anti-american cause I said something bad about Bush Jr (and maybe guns at the same time...lol) but then I was invited back, but the place was dead.

eta: Axel was always a really nice young fella and kinda cute too, but he did always tend to pop off. lol

infinite monkey 02-04-2012 04:57 PM

:)

I like the name, though. It just gave me the giggles, Axel was like a flash storm.

Funny how many forums I hear of that just disappear, or are pretty dead, but not the good old Cellar. :)

Lola Bunny 02-06-2012 10:56 AM

Congratulations, Aliantha!!! Yeah, dieting isn't a good idea anymore. However, healthy eating is always the best for all situations. :thumb: Eat healthy and walking for exercise. But from what you said about prior complications, being under a doctor's supervision is the safest thing. Good luck! Not for being thinner but being healthier and having a healthy baby. :)

Axel 02-06-2012 04:17 PM

Axel is usually a dog's name :) But i adopted (pun intended) it because the name Alex was always taken

Lovely to see you Ali, popped in here randomly and saw a very familiar name.... most pleasent surprise. Hope you're doing really well and my biggest congratulations btw!

So what's this place like?

Aliantha 02-08-2012 10:19 PM

It's not too bad Axel. I've been posting here for quite a few years now and this is like my 'net home' I guess you'd say.

There's a fairly large mix of people here, so you get a lot of different points of view which can be very illuminating at times.

There are the usual dog piles now and then when someone steps out of line or pushes the community a bit far, but usually it ends up for the best.

The minimal moderation is one of the things I prefer about this site (especially after the extreme mods at stormchat lol).

Usually in "post your pet".

Aliantha 02-08-2012 11:05 PM

Well i'm glad I don't go there too often then. lol I have a weak stomach!

Undertoad 02-08-2012 11:42 PM

dogpile!!!

i guess more like dogline

Aliantha 02-08-2012 11:44 PM

Awww...cute puppies! (I thought you were talking about dog poo lol)

Axel 02-11-2012 07:16 PM

Well looks like a nie place....nice enough to stick around :)

Griff 02-12-2012 08:49 AM

If I am righteous, I will be reincarnated as a wee puppy.

monster 02-12-2012 03:20 PM

And if you're unrighteous, puppy wee.

Aliantha 02-12-2012 05:50 PM

You know, I reckon choosing to come back as a dog would be fraught with issues.

When it all comes down to it, there are millions (billions) more mistreated and forgotten dogs than there are pampered pooches.

you'd have to be lucky to get a good owner I reckon.

infinite monkey 02-12-2012 06:05 PM

True. I used to say I wanted to come back as a cat, but as one of MY (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) cats. Spoiled silly.

Aliantha 02-12-2012 06:08 PM

I feel sick today. :( I think I will vomit up my breaky soon.

I want to crawl under a rock and not come out for several years.

infinite monkey 02-12-2012 06:10 PM

:comfort:

You've made it through this before, right? You can do it again. :)

HungLikeJesus 02-12-2012 06:32 PM

It's not too late to change your mind.

Seems a bit of a logical problem there. I guess it might be possible, but you (as cat) would end up surviving by eating the corpse of you (as human). That ain't right. :D

That's why I added "reasonable facsimilie thereof" to acknowledge that I can't possibly come back as my cat. :lol:

I hadn't worked it all out yet.

And of course, there are always hobos.
