Baby's first dress from Great granny- used to be Granny's

This dress is so adorable! but it needs a clean and the yellow stains out- its nearly 60 yrs old! Don't think this counts as "buying stuff" to early...

*UPDATE* due to the advice of our lovely cleaner/guru Isabelle we washed it VERY carefully 2x with white vinegar on a 30c wash...AND it looks GREAT, so much better.....

Mary was Jesus Surrogate!

The BEST thing I've heard on surrogacy so far was the other day in a forum where a ladies mother hadn't been so sure whether she felt surrogacy was a sin or not....the next day she came to her home beaming with smiles and joy and told her daughter " I now KNOW surrogacy isn't a sin as Mary was a surrogate for Jesus"

so....NUFF SAID!!!!

Our Dr talking about freezing your eggs/embryos

My advice to anyone over the age of say 28? FREEZE YOUR EGGS!!! OR AT LEAST get an AMH test which gives an indication of your ovarian reserve and an fsh test which gives again (only an indication) of your ovarian quality. If FSH is HIGH this is not good if AMH is low this too is not good.

Freezing your eggs gives you a chance to have a baby without the pressure of time...... MY fertility went from hero to zero in the space of 2 yrs!

BABY CJ is GOOD..but we missed the scan :(

The great news is at 7 +3 baby cj is good. There was a "subchoroniac area"- which may well have accounted for the bleed. The heartbeat was strong..YAY!!!! 150bpm

However someone from the agency was supposed to facetime us today with R for the scan at 9.30 (3.30 uk time) but nobody rang we waited and waited and now just found out the scan has already happened :( don't know why nobody told us- if there was some complication as to why nobody could facetime?! pretty upset as Mr CJ took a day from work to be here....and it means SO much to see scans...I wonder why nobody rang/texted/emailed us if there was an issue -just so we werent sat here for an hour worrying...it takes the excitement off a bit :( OF COURSE though we are THRILLED that Baby CJ is ok :)
LOOOOOK its getting ickle arms!!!!

UPDATE- just spoke with R on skype, she seems very well :) shes funny :) she said she is having some crazzzzy dreams!!!
