Thing is if we are like this now, what is going to happen when we actually have something to talk about that is actually happening? i.e. when we all actually start TTC'ing!!! I don't think I want to know, DH already moans about long I spend on here!

Playingthewaitinggame · 30/01/2008 14:57

Yes MN is evil. I am supposed to be working, have loads to do, will probably end up staying late again, never have a proper lunch brake, cos I waste too much time on here!!!!!

NatalieJane · 30/01/2008 14:51

LOL, don't be silly, it is actually quite nice watching the list getting bigger and bigger (and more full of my mistakes )

I still haven't hoovered and I have washing to put away, and the kitchen to tidy up, the breakfast and now lunch stuff is still sat there on the sides I'll have a quick whip round a bit later, just before DH get's home, then he'll think I've been busy all day, because the kids won't have had time to mess it up behind me!!

happynappies · 30/01/2008 14:46

Cheers ladies - seems very friendly on here, sorry you had to update the list again!! My dd has just dropped off to sleep after a v. long morning and I've got stacks to do, so of course the first place I find myself is MN... I wish I could muster up some enthusiasm to get everything else done!

NatalieJane · 30/01/2008 14:39

I've tried bathing him, can't get it right though, normal temp feels too hot on his bum, but any cooler and he freezes. Just crossing my fingers this egg makes a difference.

Playingthewaitinggame · 30/01/2008 14:38

Hi Happynappies,

You are in the right place to stress/caht/laugh about all the stresses and strains of waiting and worrying about ttc here. I think the positivity on this thread is catching, be surprised if I managed to wait till Sept to ttc even though that is the plan!

NatalieJane · 30/01/2008 14:38

OMG Playing. that dress is beautiful!!

Meant to say as well, though having a quick look back through think I forgot, LG&T, you pictures are lovely as well, I know what it was, your young-ness put me off!!

largeginandtonic · 30/01/2008 14:36

NJ bath may help. Whn the twins had it badly (long ago) i used to bath them all the timeas it kept them naked and happy. Nightmare. Poor wee thing.

Playingthewaitinggame · 30/01/2008 14:33

OK, then got some pics on my profile. Dont have many here at work so they will haev to do

happynappies · 30/01/2008 14:31

Hello - can I join you? I'm 32, and have dd (14 months) - not ttc yet... hoping to try in April/May for a 2009 baby but what will be will be. I had a difficult time with labour/birth last time (SPD, then 'cascade of intervention') and swing between thinking it will all be different next time around when I will be more assertive, in control, and it will be a great experience, and utter terror. I also swing between thinking now is the ideal time to ttc, and 'how will I cope?!!'. When the swinging finally stops I hope that I can actually fall pg, and things go to plan. Looking forward to meeting you all - have never joined a thread like this, but am hoping it will help me approach this ttc in a positive way.

NatalieJane · 30/01/2008 14:25

Awww, it's hurting him Managed to get him to stay still for long enough for it to soak in a bit, but then he had had enough sobbing, and I'd had enough of listening to him breaking his little heart so put nappy back on. Fingers crossed it was long enough to do something! It is bleeding and weeping

Re. home birth, after last time, I am guessing we will be hoping to go to hospital, but whether I make it in time, who knows?!

largeginandtonic · 30/01/2008 14:17

Aw Teuch you never know. Dont give up hope just yet.

I have had a section (twins) emergency and they were born at 29 weeks. DD was a homebirth but she got stuck and i had to transfer in to hosp in an ambulance. DS#3 was a lovely() homebirth, ds#4 was home birth in 40 minutes! ds#5 was induced and a lengthy 6 and a half hours! He was stuck too.

I have ticked all the boxes and would like a nice normal homebirth again please.

zabrina · 30/01/2008 14:16

hello all, thank you for your warm welcome. I am sick of friends telling me that iv'e got years ahead for having more children and that I should concentrate on career. It doesn't stop me wanting a baby now.

It's nice to read about your relationships.

I am not married. I have been with my partner for 5 years. No plans to marry soon as it's not a priority, trying to fit everything else in has been manic.

For future reference, its nice to know that weddings can be inexpensive but still a lovely day.

However buying a house is a priority, currently saving for deposit - another reason while I'm waiting before ttc.

LARGE G&T - Just sneaked a look at your profile, your children are beautiful. How do you cope? I have struggled with ds and have just plucked up the courage to think about having another child.

Teuch · 30/01/2008 14:14

sorry, I meant to say AF on Monday

God, any wonder I get myself in such a muddler when can't even count...

largeginandtonic · 30/01/2008 14:14

The egg white DOES work! I have used that too NJ!

Bet you all think we are bonkers dontcha

Teuch · 30/01/2008 14:12

NJ - that egg-white really does the trick eh?!

Have now resigned myself to result - postie finally brought HPT's and one of those also say 'no'

So I am on CD32 - if I OV'd late it was probably around CD23 so heading for AF on Saturday..to be fair, hat was one of my first scenarios befoer I convinced myself otherwise . If that's the case then we totally missed theboat as I know there was no action then!

I don't 'do' planning beforehand!! So you'll get no buggy/nursery/name chat out of me!!!

NatalieJane · 30/01/2008 13:58

It was a bit long wasn't it

LG&T am still slightly at your age LOL

I am away for a bit now, have to go and put some egg white on DS2 bum.....

Playingthewaitinggame · 30/01/2008 13:49

OK, just for you BB I will put some photos on my profile just for the day if you want to be nosy. I dont want to keep them in case there are people I know (say from work) who also use this website!! They will probably be wedding photos as that all I have on my computer at work!
