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

Morning all.

Im here with my breakfast in bed again . Love OH so much lol. Have told him that its

Ah Bebe, you might be surprised! If you got him to make a pros and cons list in the first place, he'd at least give some thought to the issue, and then who knows, he might find pros he hadn't noticed before (in another context that last bit of the sentence would be SO WRONG)

Squirrel you seem to be getting on OK...how have you found adjusting to being pregnant for the first time? (physical symptoms aside). Us uninitiated need to know these things!

100 another vote here for the 'treat yourself' - it's a really really really good excuse to do so.

JS clearly you're of higher value to your firm than you knew you were...take that knowledge into your new job. I think women have a tendency to underestimate how much other people think of us.

jbells good luck with the interview tomorrow.

x-posted js, is moving to Bath another reason for leaving your current job? It's good that your team head appreciates you and obviously wants you to stay :)

Sorry bells xpost! Congrats on your 12 weeks!!!

Hi all!

nannyl four children under 5! Sounds tough :) Although, DH and I agree that while it's probably tough at the beginning, having kids close together might be easier when they are older.

AC I saw that thread too. I didn't read the comment as a criticism of people on this thread, more a kind of frustration that people want to control exact timings so closely. It was an interesting read though and I know it's a subject that's close to your heart. Yay for the interview though, when is it?

bebe your pros and cons list seems very complete. Wonder if it's a good idea to ask your DH to do the same?

jbells congratulations for getting to 12 weeks! Glad the nausea has eased too :)

100years the necklace sounds lovely, and of course you should get the matching earrings

This weekend I don't have much planned, need to finish off some xmas shopping and go to a friend's birthday drinks tomorrow eve, but the rest of the time is free. Will probably just relax and take it easy. I though being sick was the main symptom of pregnancy, which I haven't had yet - but no-one told me about hunger! I am eating for about 3 at the moment and not impressed to read that I shouldn't be eating any more than usual during the first trimester Just the thought of not eating is enough to make me feel faint and dizzy! I have just finished dinner and I think some of that apple and blueberry crumble will go down very nicely bebe :)

Oh bebe that sounds yummy!!! Managed to avoid getting too plastered at lunch but didn't go back to the office!

The head of the team asked me to stay and when I told him that I just couldn't cope with working for The BFH any longer he said that there were always ways around that. He has said that they won't take on anybody on a permanent basis and that I can come back whenever I want. All very confusing as the reason for leaving is the BFH............

thanks for all the congrats on making it to 12 weeks seems like a milestone getting the first trimester out the way, to be honest i havnt really felt the urge to tell anyone other than close family and friends people will prob just see me with a bump one day and realise lol
got interview for a weekend job tomoro really hoping i get it money is tight and it will save on DD's nursery fees, fingers crossed

bebe- your prob right about talking to DH over xmas hols when he is a bit more relaxed and not so focused on work,so glad your blood tests cameback ok

100- glad u have found a nice diamond necklace that u like def think u shud treat yourself to earings aswell

Whywait- no exciting plans here either just the interview which i am not looking forward to i hate interviews, and then sundaylunch with DP DD his dad and sister on sunday

waves to everyone

Hurrah for Friday!
Good news on your blood tests Bebe.
And congrats JS on 12 weeks - does this mean you'll be telling people who don't currently know?

No exciting plans this end for the weekend - unfortunately there's still rather a lot of work to be done in this household. Oh! apart from a karaoke birthday tomorrow LAAAAAAA!

Good morning folks, I have read back and caught up, please excuse me for not posting individual messages back to people, I just finished my nights.

I think we have picked a necklace that we like, it's a 0.5carat solitaire on an 18K white gold chain. There are also earrings to match, which I am considering (more than likely will) buy for myself to go with said necklace! But we are going to go round some jewellers tomorrow and have a look and see if not we will order off line.

Congrats on the interview AC :o

Yay for 12 weeks jbells

I'm not sure where I'm at in relation to ovulating, but we are obviously DTD with it all in mind. Am on day 14 today, given last month was a 35 day cycle I have possibly a week before ovulation. My temp is too up and down at the moment to get an accurate reading I think and the thermometer seems to read slightly different depending on where I put it under my tongue, and my tongue aches underneath now, I've even swapped sides etc.

Good Morning! and very happy Friday to you all.

So pleased that it is the weekend and the head of the team sent an email round this morning to say that because we won a massive pitch last week he is buying a few drinks for lunch.

Last time he bought lunch one of the other PAs and I fell back into the office at 6pm smashed and I almost missed my train to Bath because I got lost on the tube . Really muct make sure that I don't drink too much today as I am guessing DH won't find it so funny if I miss the train!!!

Bebe, sorry you've been feeling ill, I think that's a great list. You could maybe add that the closer together you have the children, the sooner you can start concentrating on your career again/start a PGCE if that's what you are going to do...

AC that's brilliant news on the job front, well done you.

Hurrah for YTD!

Love the idea of you practising for your nativity play Nannyl! I'm working on a project in a primary school next term (my first one, I've done lots of secondary) and am really looking forward to it, the kids were great when I met them last week.

I've just ordered a book someone recommended to me called Babyhunger, anyone read it?

...waving to everyone else....

hey everyone finally got myself a netbook weird trying to type and read of this little thing after being used to a big laptop

well i am 12 weeks today wohoo and pleased to say that this week the nausea has finally ended however this cold is getting worse and its rubbish not being able to take anything for itso ordered some chicken and sweetcorn soup from the chinese hopefully that will help

AC- thats great news about your interview, do u know when it is yet?

bebe-sorry your feeling ill hope the cold shifts for u soon, i have read thru your list and umakesome very validpoints there is nothing that i think u can add to it at the mo but if i think of anythin i will let u know

nannyl- lol at your dad to be tablets didnt even know they existed

wow bebe

thats a pretty huge list and weighing it up it is more than obviouse that trying for a baby is the right decidion and you need to be trying asap...
now is the best time

Congrats AC for your interview

No news here... just been a normal day at school, although we had 2 mins silence (interesting with 3year olds but they did well) we had so much rain the ceiling came in and we started practising our nativity play, and they were all fab

last night i was looking at baby clothes, and spent all night on mother care, boots / M&S / next etc looking at baby stuff and getting even more broody... if thats posible?

am not allowed to buy anything until im PG now says OH

although next weekend he is starting his 'dad to be tablets' for a month before we TTC so the time is coming soon (he has been taking zinc since september anyway!)

Hurrah AC - that is fantastic news :)

bebe I think a pros and cons list is a good idea. If you put some cons on there (make sure that they are ones that are really not an issue) then it will show your DH that you have throught about everything and not just the pros!!!
