Hello!

Glaskham - thank you for the lucky tests Glad Dr has helped sort your sickness too. It's good to have you back!

NJ - LOL at your flicked switch! I hope those DC go to bed promptly for you . Hope your contractions calm down as well. I quite like my photo of my CBD too. When I'm having moments of doubt, I just take a look!

Cal - still thinking of you lots. Sounds like wkend went as well as it could have and glad you've been signed off for 2 weeks. Take more if you think you need it.

Diege - I completely understand your wistful I've been there. Fingers crossed for a June baby for you.

Kooky - thank you so much for your post. It's finally happened for me and I hope you get your BFP soon too.

Tink - 40????!!!!!!! Are you wonderwoman or something?!!

GYo - 12 weeks! Where did that time go!? Hopefully I'll be saying that soon.

At the moment I'm mainly feeling worried. Wanting to do a hpt every day but I'm restraining myself from today to twice a week. Waste of money otherwise. Have been getting a few pains too but hopefully it's still implantation.

Right - back to work! Catch you all later!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 01/09/2008 11:47

Glask, glad you've got the sickness sorted

Good to have you back

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 01/09/2008 11:08

I'm back!!!

GP gave me some medicine for the sickness and i'm doing really well on it. Lucky as i was borderline hyperemesis so if it hadn't worked i'd have been in hospital!!

Ses- congrats!! those tests i sent have a faint line even on my BFP's from 14 & 15 dpo!!

Cal- sorry to hear of what happened, only found out today when catching up but i'm sure you've had plenty of support from the wagon!!

Tink- sorry you couldn't find out the sex, sure it'll perform on the 3-d scan for you!!

NJ- contractions so early doesn't sound so good.... hope it stays away!!

anyone else i've missed- Hi

T'was a bargain as well, DH was looking last night if he got a good deal (this is a man that would normally spend days searching the internet for the best deal before buying anything of any worth) The cheapest he found it else where was some crappy un-known shop on the net for £180, so it was a good deal afterall!

Only thing is, the detergent for it is £15 a bottle, and we have already used the best part of two bottles!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 01/09/2008 10:35

We have only done the living room and play room so far (carpets in both) but the kitchen is next on the list (ceramic tiles) we have a grey colour grout which looked lovely when it went down, now just looks mucky, am really looking forward to seeing what it can do in there!

How sad am I? I have real proper sex for the first time in years weeks a while, and still I bang (no pun intended, honestly ) on about the carpet cleaner

GYo · 01/09/2008 10:08

Im loving your floor cleaner Nat!

Im after something to clean a very dirty kitchen floor- its lino but got textured surface so there is dirt and dust in the cracks and I just cant shift it with a mop.

Will share your excitement..

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 01/09/2008 09:48

T'was very nice thanks GYo LOL

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 01/09/2008 09:44

He is sending me rude texts LOL I am playing it cool, but have a feeling the kids will be in bed early tonight!

Hope your shopping goes well

Oh BTW, just incase anyone is looking for one on the off chance, we bought this yesterday (after DS2 was sick all over the carpet, I cleared it up, moaning all the while, DH had a trip to the tip to do, he came home with it as a surprise - how romantic ) it is bloody fantastic! Can't believe how excited I am over a carpet cleaner, but the difference...

GYo · 01/09/2008 09:43

Hi everyone

LOL re switch flicking Nat, love it when that happens.... Hope you enjoyed yourself...

Good luck with the trouser shop Diege...

OP posts:
Diege · 01/09/2008 09:36

Morning! LOL Nat at your 'flicked switch' - reminds me of when you were ttc!
CALS - take it easy over the next few weeks - I was at the crap TV stage for a few weeks before I felt like doing anything constructive. I went back to work far too early, and still have the prospect of telling one person I'm not pregnant anymore when I go back tomorrow. It does get easier, but I think your GP was wise to sign you off, esp as your work sounds v.stressful.
Hi GYO! Can't belive you're nearly 12 weeks!! Wow! I think my tiredness lifted too around this stage with dds, before returning with a vengeance at 30ish weeks
Hi TINKS! Glad the party went well - we are merging dd3's 3rd with dd2's 6th as they are only a week apart - hopefully we'll get away with it for a few years yet!
Right, off into town to buy some trousers for work - can't risk internet buys as I'm a real short arse!
Speak later! (oh and HOW rubbish is Heartbeat??!!).

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 01/09/2008 09:20

Morning all

Ses still grinning from ear to ear for you And that 'pregnant' on the CBD is fantastic!!

Diege glad the day went well How did you miss the rain? and !

MAF fear it may be too late for my good luck, but good luck anyway!

Cal, you know I found de-cluttering the house an amazing coping mechanism. I did the whole crap telly/wrinkly baths thing, but once the physical side was over with I just didn't want to sit still anymore, in fact I couldn't sit still. So glad the weekend went well. Don't worry about work, you take all the time you need. If you go back before you're ready you won't be up to much in the way of work anyway.

Tink, glad DD's party went well Did she enjoy it?

Thanks to everyone asking about the contractions. They are coming and going, no where near painful yet though so am hopeful it won't start properly for a little while yet. Tell you what though, DH couldn't be more pleased, all the goings on down there have flicked my errrr... 'switch' back on, we had a very late night last night not sure I'd fit all the smilies on if I counted them up LOL T'is good to be back!!

.....not even in the slightest bit Nope, not me....

calsworld · 01/09/2008 09:17

Ooh tink - forgot about you and your party! Was it good? How on earth did you manage with 40 people??

DS has just waved and said 'bye' and run out the room - his language skills have really accelerated over the last two weeks, he just imitates everything, some words better than others, but he's lovely.

GYo · 01/09/2008 09:12

Morning Cal, Tink.

Cal- glad the weekend was better than you expected. Your doctor does sounds great... glad he is taking proper care of you, and your DH sounds great.

Tink- glad you survived the party

OP posts:
tinkhasanacrobatic · 01/09/2008 08:55

morning

we survived party

cal - you take care good that dr has signed u off and you have a lovely dh

maf-good luck
kk-good 2 hear from you
nj-hope u r well

calsworld · 01/09/2008 08:31

Morning everyone. First of all, Congrats Ses! I'm very pleased for you, hope all goes well. When will you get your first scan (am I planning ahead too far ahead?)

I had an OK weekend, PIL were really good and managed to avoid the topic without being obvious and without being disrespectful either, don't know how they managed to not upset me really because I've been very unreasonable over the weekend (or how I've managed not to upset them). But all in all it was probably the best place to be.

I feel a bit crap being at home today. Speaking of which, I'm not at work as had a bit of a meltdown on Friday following my last posts and DH came home from work and called the doctor. Doc didn't do much but his presence calmed me down and he has signed me off for 2 weeks. He says I shouldn't go back until I can stand people asking me how I am without crying. I think it depends on who asks and what the context is - but I'll see how it goes.

I must have the worst employee record ever this year as I've had SO much time off sick this year - mostly with tonsillitis. Not great in an industry (and company) currently going through a lot of redundancies.

Sorry that's quite a 'me' post...will try better to get up to date.

MAF - yoghurt potting sounds, erm, messy fun? hope its all going well!

KK - glad you're still lurking, I miss you

NJ - Sorry for your IU, can't believe its happening so early but glad as others have said that you've got reassurance () from MW

GYo and co. - thanks for keeping me company on Friday (sod the rules) to everyone.

DH has had to go into work for a meeting this morning so has left me with DS for company. He's planning on being back at about lunchtime to work from home for the rest of the day and for the next couple of days to keep an eye on me me company.

Not really sure what to do with myself but I'm feeling the need for some a) shopping and b) tidying and cleaning and de-cluttering although will probably end up doing bugger all and watching crap telly!

GYo · 01/09/2008 07:41

Oh and hi makingafamily... good to see you back here... hope you do ovulate soon so those yoghurt pots come in use!

NJ- how are the contractions today?

(its slowly coming back to me!)

GYo · 01/09/2008 07:39

HI All

Wow everyone has been busy this weekened!

Read it all but now cant remember much...except Congrats again Ses so happy for you, really exciting to see pregnant on that stick!

Gruff- great news about the dating scan too... will be great to finally get a good idea of how pg you are!

Monday again- taking DH to the hospital today for an operation so working at home between runs to the hospital.

Not much else happened over the weekend except more painting and decorating... wondering if we will ever get it done. But the good news is that I've had two days without complete debilitating tiredness.... Im hoping that at nearly 12wks its passing slowly now....

OP posts:
Dalrymps · 31/08/2008 21:27

Hi everyone

Gruf - hats cool about the scan, be good to see the lo!

Emlou - glad you are enjoying the driving . Wonder whats happening with your TEW?

Diege - Glad you enjoyed the farm. Hope that EWM hurries up! Enjoy heartbeat

Makingafamily - Hi! Looks like you've got all bases covered, fingers crossed for you!

2Beautifulgals - I'm not testing yet, gonna start ttc in jan , well, that is unless I accidentally concieved this month but I doubt it cause I have horrendous PMT today - illustration of my mood today.

Hi to everyone else, night all x

kookykid · 31/08/2008 21:10

Just had a quick 'lurk' and just had to post my congrats to Ses! So pleased for you, lady! Especially after everything you've been through.... Well done!

Diege · 31/08/2008 19:37

Oh and Hi EMLOU! Glad to hear the driving is going well

Diege · 31/08/2008 19:36

Hello! Had a good day at the farm, dd3 enthralled by it all - most of all man-in-a-teddy taking her hat; she hasn't stopped talking about it all afternoon. Managed to dodge the rain too thank goodness, though it's throwing it down now!
May time baby will be lovely SES! Am so pleased for you, although I'll admit a teeny bit in a wistful sort of way! My egg is still 'pending' delivery (at least that's what I'm assuming from no EWM as yet (after false alarm), so you never know, could be a June one for me! .
Great news on early scan GRUFF - is this because of your long cycles?
Hi MAKINGAFAMILY . Good to hear from you, and sounds like you are running everything very effectively! My friends went down the insemination route too, though they used a clinic I think, and struck lucky third attempt. Are expecting their first baby in Nov .
Right, off for the evening now - mum has telly schedule for us including Heartbeat .
Night all, diege xxx
