We're taking the train...some now boarding, some delays, some still standing on the platform! TTC 'Waiters' IIT!

evening all

Bebe- hope u feel a bit better this evening, did write u a message this morning but for some reason isnt on here try and rest if u can, as for DH he may just be convinced that u will be having a boy next, i have given most of DD's stuff away even tho i knew i wanted another one mostly for the fact im hoping for a boy this time, if its a girl i know DP will want to try agen for a boy and i think 2 will be plenty hehe

100years- glad your feeling slightly better :) as for wot your OH said sounds like something my DP would say hehe

JS- wot a pain in the butt that they had changed it to tuesday, i really want to see that film to glad u enjoyed it, it does make u sick with jelousy when someone your own age is a billionaire [henvy]

bebe sorry you're feeling down :( maybe take it easy and try and get some rest, there's no point carrying on regardless and making yourself ill just so your DH doesn't worry.

100years I'm definitely planning to put on a 'work face' but I feel slightly dishonest doing it :( and also it's quite hard to answer the question of what I want to achieve in the next year when my first thought is 'baby'!! I am definitely feeling the rollercoaster of emotions too!

js how annoying that they want to do Tues, hope you can work something out :)

Oh Bebe that sucks. I guess it is probably a combination of things that is making you feel so low. Hopefully when one starts to improve you will start to feel a bit more positive about things and less miserable.

Is your DH an only child?

Oh bebe, so sorry to hear how you are feeling, it may just be the illness that is making you glum, if so I hope you feel a bit brighter when you perk up. Have no idea what to suggest re telling your DH.

Hello Ladies :o How are we all?

I'm feeling a little better now, in fact I think today is the first time in a week where I don't feel knackered and unable to do stuff. I'm stuff full of gunk in my nose and head but I feel like doing a little dance. I think I shall be at work tomorrow unless something mad happens between now and then.

I really want to talk to my sister about TTC, she got pg very early on with her two, in fact I think it was second cycle for the first and I'm not sure about the second, but I know it was soon, although I don't really want her to know we are trying iykwim. I think though they adopted the shag like bunnies approach to it and a comment was well I would have been surprised had I not! I think my Mum got pg early on as well. Not saying that I will, but you can hope can't you.

I kind of chatted about temping and stuff with OH last night, he was great, as I am kind of concerned it won't happen, just because I'll only believe it when it actually does, and he said well if it turns out that you have no internal organs and have been bleeding fakely for the last few years and I am shooting nothing then we will still be OK, there will be other options. Not quite worded like that but I think you get the point.

The whole TTC and stuff is a huge rollercoaster of emotions isn't it....

I cried yesterday watching Scrubs when Karla has the baby and it has to go to the NICU for a while, then Turk comes in and shows off the baby while JD and (forgotten her name) decide to keep the baby she has just got upduffed with.

jbells, shopping sounds great, glad you got yourself some new goodies :)

Strawberry, I must admit it was ace saying it at the doctors when I went and my doctor was really excitable too so I was pleased :)

squirrel, just sit there tell them things they would want to hear and go from there, I've had to do the same thing myself recently, but I have a good work face that I can put on.

JS I reckon you must be pulling your hair out, I applied for a new job end of last year so I could move and it took till March to get the final verdict, I hope you get some answers soon.

bebe, sorry you are now unwell, I hope the numbness only lasts as long as the lurgy, and as you say the meds might not have stopped a relapse anyway. GWS

Morning All

Sorry to hear that you are feeling so rough today bebe. It must be so frustrating to have to keep it quiet too but I am sure that catching your DD's bug isn't because you aren't on your meds. It's Autumn and everybody is getting sick!! Half of my office is off sick today and having sat next to 2 of the team members that are at home throwing up I am thinking that I may end up catching it at some point.

I heard back yesterday that the FD now can't do Monday and they want to do Tuesday instead which is incredibly irritating. I have let the recruiter know that it will be pretty tricky for me and that ideally it would be a post work meeting so that i can just leave London a bit early and not have to take a day off. Not heard anything back from her yet but I think that the company are taking quite a lot of time to get back to her so it's not really her fault.

jbells - it sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday. Great that you managed to find some nice maternity wear too!

DH and I went to watch "The Social Network" last night. Can really reccommend it! The really depressing thing is that Mark Zuckerberg is the same age as me..... and owns the majority of a company worth $65 billion!!!

jbells sounds like a great day out!

js hope you hear about the interview soon, it's bad of them to keep you hanging for so long :(

strawberry I'm thinking mainly yellow (keen to avoid both blue and pink) with some other colour. Maybe green, but that might look a bit wholesome! Red would be good, and is my favourite, but the room isn't too big so i don't want to overdo it. Am going to go to b&q at the weekend and get paint colour swatches!! And it is exciting talking to your doctor - I felt a bit strange when I first mentioned it to the dr, almost as if they'd tell me not to be silly and to wait till I was properly grown up!

I just found out that I have my work annual review next week - it's going to be hard thinking of what to say for next year's plan when I'm hoping to be gone (or at least, on maternity leave)

It sounds like you had a perfect day jbells! Liverpool is fab for shopping now with Liverpool One isn't it?

100years you must be really fed up now. I suppose all you can do is rest and wait until you feel better- sending you get well soon vibes!

I love it that DD is fighting your corner, bebe, and asking for a baby sister!

Still wishing you good luck JS........my OH had an interview yesterday but didn't get it. We were gutted, there are not many teaching jobs around at all at the moment :(

I went to the doctor today for something else but asked her a few questions about TTC too. It was strange saying it out loud that we will be trying next year! :)

I'm about the nursery squirrel! Let us know what theme/colour you choose!

hi all, i have had quite a nice day today DD was in nursery and seems i got laid off from my job had a day to myself, so i took myself shopping to liverpool which i havnt done in as long as i can remember and treated myself to some maternity clothes i didnt buy any last time round except one pair of jeans the choice seems a lot more fashionable this time round, made sure i bought stuff that i cud still wear even if i wasnt pregnant :) also got DD an outfit, then went for lunch with my brother,3:15 then an old friend came round for an hour and just as she was leaving DP came back from his business trip, all in all a good day very tired now tho

Bebe- wow that is a long time since u went pics, my DP loves to go we just never get round to it as we have a limited supply of babysitters, havnt had scan yet, its nxt friday seems to be taking forever to come round, feel like i got ahead of myself buying mat clothes just incase i get there and theres no hearbeat or something is wrong hope the pain of your tooth goes soon

100years- i really hope u start to feel better soon

js- hopefully recruiter will be able to give u definate date soon

I'm bloody fed up with it now. :( Going to get a blanket and lie and watch DVDs

oh - get better soon 100. There are tons of people in my office off sick at the moment, there must be something going around. Not much fun :(

I had some very vivid dreams last nighttoo. One in particular about DH telling me that we shoud sod our plans and just start trying now..... Oh I wish!!

Still no date for the meeting. Bit frustrating really so am going to chase the recruiter today as i need to know if I am going to have to change my train tickets back from Bath.

Oh poop, I feel no better still. Woke this morning when the alarm went off, throat killing, coughing slightly productively, legs ache like I've done some killer session in the gym and the start of a headache. So I rang work and booked sick. Went back to bed and slept for nearly 4 hours solid, I did have some vivid dreams while I was sleeping though.

morning all, film was good typical romantic comedy made u want to cry and laugh was back home by 9 but cudnt sleep tho, i find it so hard to sleep on my own in bed when DP is away i always get a terrible nites sleep :(

bebe- i think that was the first time i have bin pics for about 6 months, normally just go stuff my face when i meet up with my friends but got no apetite at mo

100- i did that the other day went to co op with a list of things to buy got home forgot the main thing i needed and had to go back, i wasnt impressed grrr, glad to know im not the only one who does things like that

I went shopping today with the plan to make Pork Madras for tea, and I forgot one vital ingredient, I nearly cried when it was suggested I went out again to get some, I am sooooo tired and I reckon I am also proper PMTish now.

I've just ironed a load of shirts and trousers, have made loads of soup again, and I'm so looking forward (not) to work tomorrow, but at least I will be sitting down lots!!!

Can't wait to feel better so I can do some exercise again, I am missing it now, which I think means I am getting better, but the fact I couldn't actually do anything means I am not actually ready to.

Enjoy the cinema :)

i can honestly say i have heard nothing about the orgasm thing or the alkaline boy sperm environment thing u learn something new everyday :o

well DP is away on business again today and tomoro so i have asked my mum to babysit tonite and i am going the pics with my friend altho i am exhausted and may fall asleep will be a nice rest/ nite out hehe

Thanks Squirrel. Oooh the 2ww, that will be me next month!!! I'm not sure how much the coil affects things re your cycle, I know when I had mine it didn't but then I had the copper non hormonal one as opposed to the mirena coil.

I'm whacked out really, still not over the lurgy, just feel really knackered and I am working tomorrow, it's the start of 5 shifts for me, bleurgh. Only 2 weeks today till we go away for a mini break :)
