it is great to buy bits for new dd have been waiting to find out gender for so long

have 4 outfits,sleepsuits and vests in 0-3 months
only need to buy - changing table - want to get a plastic one on wheels with all the shelves to store nappies, cream etc.
got fed up of kneeling down on the floor to change dd when a baby!!

maybe a coat for baby cant decide if i will need one know that it will be cold have footmuff for the maxicosi cabrio as will be using it on quinny frame. she has jumpers.

also going to get a mobile for cot.
i am due 15th of jan - 26 weeks tom

Hi,

Wow Tink- all those clothes are fab, must be lovely to chose things for the new DD

Do you have much more to get now before the birth? What is your due date?

Diege- think of you while you wait. Sorry its so unknown for you.

Home now and on sofa under a nice warm blanket. Its bliss. I definately feel good for showing face at the office but boss was still arse about important bit of work I cant do. He wants to hand it over and cant now until Im back. He said go home but managed to induce a lot of guilt - barely looked me in eye. Made me really cross given that I felt jolly rotten a lot in early Preg but didnt take any time off for it.

tinkisgoingtohaveagirl · 08/10/2008 11:10

diege - sorry 4 your awful migraine last night glad that you are feeling better now spotting sounds interesting this time round i had a small spot on 9dpo,10dpo and 11dpo

gyo - poor you being poorly
hope you get better soon

Diege · 08/10/2008 09:14

Oh no GYO!!! At least you've shown your face though - I always feel redeemed when I've tried to go in but have had to admit defeat! Hopeing you feel better after a day at home
Af is due Monday-ish, give or take a few days each way. I'll probably test a week on Wed if no af, but don't think I'll get that far if I'm honest. Had a postive opk on cd 13, so assume cycle will be 30 days-ish. Will keep the wagon informed if I do a sneaky early test/af arrives early!

GYo · 08/10/2008 08:46

Morning Diege

Glad you are feeling better.... your spotting/ cramping does sound odd- guess time will tell. How far away from a testing would you be in AF doesnt start?

I'm in the office but about to go home. Got a really nasty cold thing that has gone to my lungs... so off home to bed once ive sorted out my meetings.... wish I'd figured this out before leaving home at 6.15am!

Diege · 08/10/2008 08:16

Morning! Hope everyone is well and happy - the weather is beautiful here! Feeling much better thanks - just a woosy faint headache now so should be able to manage teaching through that! Fell asleep at 9, then woke 5.30 so the longest sleep I've had in a while!
Feeling really crampy this morning, and no more spotting . A tiny bit of me thinks could this have been an implantation bleed? (it was 9 days after ovulation)It was literally a single spot/smudge on tissue, so not sure this would count anyway. I've only had this once before about 3 years ago and it turned out to be a chemical pregnancy, so not getting my hopes up!
Right, off for a cuppa with colleague - speak later

GruffaloSoldier · 07/10/2008 22:32

Thanks Ses, it will be your turn before you know it! between my 8 week scan and 12 week scan the time has just flown! So Im sure it will soon come round for you too

SesHasapinkline · 07/10/2008 21:46

Hi Gruff! What a fab day for you - lovely scan and sharing your news! Lots of all round!

Diege - hope your migraine clears up.

GruffaloSoldier · 07/10/2008 21:34

Evening!

Thanks for all the messages!

Sorry for your migraine Diege, hopefully a good night sleep will sort it out. I can def sympathise with you, I have been getting them quite a lot recently.

Me and Dh have been busy telling everyone our news today, which I have enjoyed!

hope everyone has had a nice day - despite miserable weather!

GYo · 07/10/2008 20:26

Hi Diege
Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly. Hope you get a good nights rest for your 6am start tomorrow.

Diege · 07/10/2008 20:20

Oh and I'm not at all pissed off with pregnancy talk - it keeps me going on my quest

Diege · 07/10/2008 20:20

Evening! Have a horrendous migraine, and had to leave work early it got so bad Thinking it may be a sign that af is on its way, though not due till Monday (cd 23) and normally get menstrual migraine 24 hrs before. Have also just been to loo and had pink spot of blood, but nothing else. Feel rotten, and not into 'analysing' it all, so will just wait and see when af turns up! Have had cramps on and off all day, so maybe cycle still sorting itself out .
Sorry for 'me' post - am peering at the screen through screwed up eyes as light is blinding..!!!! Early one for me I think as have a 6am start.
Speak tomorrow! xxx

Wagon AN thread

Maybe who ever starts the new thread could put a link to the AN thread in the first post, then we won't keep forgetting about it. And any of the TTC'ers pissed off with pg talk tell us to bugger off!

GYo · 07/10/2008 14:39

Ok thanks Nat.... its got very dusty I think!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 07/10/2008 14:36

Ooooh that reminds me, there is a AN wagon thread floating around somewhere, will go and knock the cobwebs off it...

GYo · 07/10/2008 14:35

Defo glask, join the mini wait for scans.

Better not have a list as its really a TTC thread but we can mentally wait in the waiting room together!

OMG Nat about wind! poor DS!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 07/10/2008 14:31

Glask "just couldn't not post IYKWIM??" Ooooh you've got MNitus baaaaad

Well have done the 'how we grow' talk thing - oh what fun DS2 loved it though, he spent the whole time playing in the water table!

It is absolutely blowing a gale out there, I had to carry him up there, he couldn't stand up against the wind.

Had some more of the nursery accessories delivered just before we went (literally was going out of the door and the van pulled up!) I can't wait for the furniture to arrive so I can put it all out

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 07/10/2008 14:09
