The most addictable TTC and waiting to TTC thread on the whole of MN - enter at own risk, I can't promise the wagoners will behave!

afternoon all!

Just had a delicious nap with DS! Now he's watching teletubbies, he seems mostly OK but quite subdued today, he spent most of the morning sitting with me on the sofa / climbing on me / poking me eyes out and dribbling on me, but all very affectionately of course .

I can't get him to eat much but he's drinking lots of milk and the odd bit of water and producing wet nappies so I guess he's OK - I can see he's got a few in his mouth and he winced earlier and tried to rub his tongue to soothe it , poor little boy!

Welcome SeaFlower (nice name by the way )

KK - where are you in your cycle? Do you know how many days Post Ov you are?

Um - can't remember anything else...NJ, DH, DS and I have started going for family outings to his barber since they started doing ladies hair cuts too. £25 for all three of us ! Its nothing special for me but certainly keeps my locks looking loved. I go to a different place to have colours done, not quite ready to trust them with that yet!

We've got my PIL and SIL and BIL coming tomorrow for the day, them MIL, SIL and BIL are going leaving FIL here for the week. FIL and DH are going to be digging up and relaying our drive so that we no longer bring down the tone of our street! DS was supposed to be going to nursery and I was supposed to be doing bugger all on drinks and meals and other light duties. With DS CP it looks like it could be quite a painful week - he's going to really want to be outside with his daddy.

IKWYM about and !

I'm on cd26 today so AF could come anytime between now and Tues really.

I'm just on my lunch break and reading about this girl who's 15yo and 33 stone!! There was me worried about my weight!!!

told obviously!

Thanks for messages - they were pretty close, but she could be quite a strong-willed woman! So glad she got to know our DD, the only great-grandchild born while she was alive.

Welcome SeaFlower - it's great here - I've felt so supported and learnt so much about ttc!

Ses, whereabouts are you in your cycle? Hope the name change works for you...!

NJ - am v impressed with the price of those haircuts - what a bargain! I really ought to get DD's done (at least cut her fringe) but can't bring myself to do it... I love her curls too much!

ONe of my BFs tols me last night she's pg having only GOFed once since starting ttc DC#2. So weird feeling and at the same time....

Bargain hair cuts! V impressive NJ!

Bargain hair cuts! V impressive NJ!

Hi Seaflower - welcome!

Ok so this morning I woke up convinced AF had arrived as I had cramps but no sign and cramps have gone now. May just be under the weather as my joints are feeling a bit achy today too - I sound like an old woman!

Kooky - sorry to hear about dh granny. Were they v close?

Playing - sorry to hear you're not great today. Hope you improve as the day goes on.

NJ - I agree, sounds like dh should be v impressed with your party!

Cosmo - v excited for you telling your parents - I'm sure they'll be really pleased

Hi Seaflower welcome. There is a list somewhere if you would like to add yourself to it!

Cosmo - sorry you're having a tough day, at least its Friday!

KK - really sorry to hear that about your DH's granny. what a shame you can't make the funeral.

Hi everyone,am a newbie,hope you dont mind me joining you.Am currently ttc no 3 the last year.

Hi everyone,

Congrats on the dissertation, Gruff! That's such a weight off your mind I bet. (And yes, I'm still holding on!)

Pop, I'm really glad King's was so good. Great that the babies are in seperate sacs and all well.

NJ, hope you manage to get everything sorted for DH's bday - it's kept you busy at any rate (not that you need keeping busy!).

Hope everyone else is well.

My DH's granny died on Tues so we are going up to Yorkshire early. I won't be able to go to the funeral as no-one to look after DD. It's all getting a bit fraught already. Families, eh??

Morning all,

Having a really bad day at work! Urghhhh.....who'd be a press officer? - journalists are a nightmare and I used to be a one! Sorry, just had to rant....

GYo - I feel distinctly unpregnant most of the time - it is mainly my (.)(.) and the lines on the tests that make me think I still am. Hoping I'll be one of the lucky few to escape sickness...but also teeny bit worried that someone might be wrong.

Telling my Mum and Dad tommorrow - ekkk! Hope they take it well. Will be first grandchild.

Morning GYo - year think it has. Will probably see it sometimes as they only live in farnham.

It is great living in town. I do miss the peace of being out of town but I think living in town is much better with a baby. I'll not be so isolated and its really easy to get anything you need.

I'm getting good days and bad days. I mean I never feel unpg as such but I do get days with virtually no sickness just very occassional spells of nausea. Today unfortunately is not one of those days but yesterday was, so you can't have everything!

Playing- definately sounds like your car has gone to a good home. Very re living in the middle of town... that will be so lovely once you have the baby

Nat- the party sounds great. I cant wait to hear all about it :-)

I keep having days of feeling very unpregnant like Weds and Today but yesterday had a couple of very odd turns. Sometimes I wish we we had transparent bodies so we could see what was going on inside.

Really want to tell people now (only close family etc) but will wait til after next week.

ho hum.....

Morning all,

well the car has gone . Still the lovely lady that bought it had just given birth and I got to hold her 4 day old little boy whilst she looked over the car. He was all lovely and wrinkly and dozy! Its going to a good home!

Yes its walking to work for me now, and god I am unfit. Seemed like a marathon this morning which is really sad and proof if I ever needed any I really do need to walk more! I will miss it, I learnt to drive in that car but I used it so very little that it was just costing me money to sit on the drive! I live right in town, I can literally push a trolley across the carpark straight into Waitrose, even the Maternity hosiptal is only a 5 min walk!

LB - fingers crossed the sickness goes for you soon!

Gruffalo - I bet you're celebrating, I would!

Cal - glad the CP isn't going to be too much of a problem for you.

Nat - sounds like you are going to a lot of trouble for this party, I hope your DH appreicates it!

Morning all

Not much to say except what a relief its Friday. PHEW.

3wks today since I had my BFP.

God that was so me, me, me...sorry.

Gruffalo, a million congratulations to you!
You must be sooooo tired but very satisfied When you finally catch up on sleep (and recover from the hangover) you'll be wondering what you did before the dissertation, I bet!

LB, good to hear from you - how's DD?

Glaskham, every time I come on to say hi, you're not around! Hope you've had a nice day with your playdates and that DH made it home early

Sorry I wasn't there to help you but seems you've got it all sorted, not that I expected anything else of course!

Evening all, I've had a really busy day - think its better in the office, no one notices when I'm glazed over at my desk but DS does!!

I took him to the doctor this morning coz we've had the whole is is/isn't it chicken pox before...this time even I'm convinced it is! The surgery has their antenatal clinic today so we had to sit with the receptionists behind the front desk, behind closed doors away from all the ladies with lovely bumps. Doctor was able to speak to the MW who confirmed what I thought, that as I've had CP before its not considered a threat in pregnancy - lets just hope my immunity is good. I'm not going to let it worry me as there's nothing I can do about it now.

I texted one of my friends whose DS is a similar age, I know her from swimming lessons and her DS goes to the same nursery although we don't actually see each other very often, a bit later her hubby rang and asked if he could bring their DS over to try and get him to catch my DS's CP. A chicken pox party - I've hosted a CP party! well, sort of . It was really nice to have some grown up company.

Sods law the weather is crap and rainy when DS and I are trapped at home .

Right, whinge over, on the positive side, I can MN with considerably less guilt!

Have had a few 'moments' today feeling a bit queasy and a bit 'feed me now' ish, so my instinct is that I could be on for MS by next week. I really thought I'd be less impatient this time around but you just can't help it can you? I hope the impatience will wear off when I've had the first scan and feel a bit more comfortable about it all and can just relax and enjoy pregnancy...DH thinks it will be my last ,

Little does he know, I'm already planning the third

Hi everyone

I am completely exhausted! Went to bed at 5.30 and got up a 8.30, went to uni to get dissertation bound and hand it in then went out with DH. Just woke up from a couple of hours sleep and feeling quite rotten!

But hey - my MSc is finished! Woo!

Me and DH are recovering tonight, but may have a glass of wine to celebrate!Im going out with uni friend tomorrow tonight to celebrate it being all over.

Glask & KK I am still holding on tight - I might just snooze on your shoulder too

Glad the scans went well, Pop and Playing!

Hi Moosma, its great to hear from you!

Sorry to everyone I have forgot - my brain is fried!

Right I am off now (not that anyone was here)... I will not be back on until Monday now so have a lovely weekend everyone.

Sickness started at 5 weeks for me. Had been moaning that I didnt feel pregnant or have any symptoms then a couple of days later bam the sickness hit me...

With dd it stopped at 12 weeks so I am praying the same will happen this time.

I am 10 weeks and 3 days so not long now.

It is still very early cosmo so please dont worry I am sure you will get symptoms soon.... I am looking very pregnant at the moment and will be in maternity clothes very soon.... I have already gone up a size... . With dd i didnt show until 16 weeks and she was 8lb 4, so this time I am going to have a little elephant....

The rain is here LB! Been chucking it down all day but it's still boiling hot. How many weeks are you now? When did sickness start for you? I'm 5+2 at a guess and tbh don't feel very pregnant at all.

Sorry about the car, Playing.

I am ok, still feeling sick but whats new?. Melting today though where is the rain.......

Hi!

Pop - So pleased everything went well yesterday. You must be sooo relieved.

Playing - really excited for you too! Tbh I thought a private scan might have cost more than that. I might bear it in mind if when my time comes!

Moos - good to hear from you! Don't worry we're not all duffed! I'm going to start ttc properly again from next cycle.

NJ - you sound v organised with the party

Hi to everyone else!

Not really much news my end today. House is v quiet now the relatives have gone. Work is still going ok and that's about it really!
