The addictable wagoners are welcoming some lovely newbies and enjoying seeing some oldies return! Thread for those waiting to ttc, those ttc now and graduates alike!

well i obviously dont want to push you to find out if you dont want to, but IME it was better to know. And anyhow i'm just too darn nosey to not ask!!

I've just taken DS to the GP's and there is nothing he can do about it, he has a rare type of coldsore/herpes virus that will trouble him for life apparently, and the only cream they can give him is for external use only. I feel so sorry for him, this is maybe the 4th or 5th time he's had it in the last 12mths maybe, actually less, it was since he started nursery last jan... I feel so sorry for him, and it could cause huge problems for him with school, if he gets it 6 times in a year then thats potentially 6 weeks off school... when he's older and got a girlfriend he'll not be able to kiss her when he has them... and all because he caught it at nursery!!!! argh!!! i dont know what to do!!

Thats a good point Glask. We are calling him He already, as we've given it a "he" name in the womb...

Think we will have to find out or we will be well confused if its not what we think...

i liked being able to say 'he's kicking me in the ribs agin' or 'she's on the move' when they were inside me!! it felt right...

I am almost certain this one is a boy (because of the sickness in my case!!) and would definitely need to know as i'm not going to keep away from the blue clothes for another 26+ weeks if i didn't find out and if i had a girl but had bought blue it'd be a nightmare!!

thanks Tink, Glask- the reason we might find out the sex afterall is that I am convinced its a boy.

I didnt ever have a boy preference, in fact I had a girl preference before being preg! But for some reason i've got this idea that its a boy now (instincts and lack of sickness) my DH is concerned that we should find out so I can adjust to the idea of a girl, if it is, before the birth. Im still unsure as I fancied the idea of a suprise, but the point about bonding is a great one...

got 4 wks til 20wk scan so time to decide!

Well done glask on the tidying- very impressive :-) must feel theraputic!

Hi GYo- i also found out with both my other 2, and i have to say, knowing their name from 20 weeks and calling them by their name inside me, talking to them using their name, and just knowing i was going to have my son or daughter (as i had one of each) in my arms at the end of it all was amazing. I honestly agree with tink that it helps bonding- i felt so bonded with my 2 before they arrived and i dont know if i'd have felt that bonded if i'd have just been having a 'baby'...

I did a massive blitz of all the kids toys this morning. we had a broken, charity shop, and keeping pile. and they have almost halved their toys!! i plan to do it again a few weeks before xmas to make room for new toys!! But i'm so proud of how clean and tidy the living room looks and i haven't even hoovered yet!!

I have to take DS to the GP this afternoon, he's got some blistering on the inside of his top lip and its making his mouth all swell up, looks painful. Hopefully they can give him something, but i'm not looking forward to the whole week with him off if it doesn't clear up quickly!!

Both kids are driving me nutty today, they mustn't have slept too good as they are both tired and cranky, both will start crying because the other is and will fight over nothing etc- i'm not looking forward to an afternoon without a nap (can't fit one in before doc app) and then i need to pop to town and get a bit of food as i've got nothing worth cooking in the freezer, making spag bol for tea i think... but not sure, DH is on a late so would mean having to make 2 lots of pasta... but i now eat with the kids so i dont get heartburn when going to bed for eating too late!!

god how much have i waffled!!??!!

hi gyo fights way through tumbleweed
yes we did @ 33 week scan which was a growth scan couldnt see @ 20 week one she had her legs crossed!
i find it helps with bonding when you find out the gender and it is gr8 to buy the relevant clothing and nursery bits

quiet on here today.....

Morning Tink
So exciting now that you can choose pink things!

Im toying with finding out sex now, although we werent going to.

Did you find out for your first DD?

morning

glas - ye for cotbed very exciting

sorky - gr8 to hear from you yep we are both having girls

ses - ye for sickness going
ouch falling down stairs
house sounds gr8 will b gr8 2 get dogs back bet they will louv bigger garden and apples lol

gyo hope jetlag isnt 2 bad and ye for bump

Ouch re falling downstairs. Bet that hurt!
Think ligaments stretching is quite normal. I've had various degrees of pains that have turned out to be ok so far...as long as it doesnt get worse I wouldnt be too worried but its so hard not to be...

Forgot to ask, how is the new house?

Bump has appeared and at some angles looks quite prominent. There is something very solid low down which must be pushing everyhting else out of the way! I just feel fat but my DH says its noticeable now. He really noticed after I'd not seen him for 2 wks!

Hi Ses! How are you? How is the sickness today? I was pleased to hear your scan went well. Are you feeling any less worried now?

The jetlag is okish. Despite only sleeping at the right times I was awake until 2am this morning but I think after getting up at 6, I should be back to normal tonight if I can get through today in the office

Morning all

Very excited to be back on the wagon properly now.

How is everyone?

Welcome back Sorky!

[Grin]

hi everyone,
sorry I've been awol, but back now, though if Dh asks I'm looking for some educational stuff for the kids.
Well I'm due on the 10th Feb and it's a girl, so that's neatly 2 of each, though now the pressure is on for a name.
Sorry I haven't had a chance to catch up or read more than the last few posts but LL and Moos have kindly kept in touch and updated me when they've needed too.

Tink-snap! so pleased you got your scan and she cooperated.

How is everyone? I'm feeling pretty good health-wise, gathering stuff for the baby, generally shitting myself over the birth. I'm more scared this time then for any of the others.

oh.....and I'm craving coleslaw.

wow its been really quiet on here today!! I'm only online because i was bidding on a cotbed... and i won it!! so i'm all exited!! will be sending DH to collect it sometime this next week!!

ended up going to the christening and it was pretty good to catch up with my old friends. not seen most of them properly for over 12mths!!

Right i'm off to bed, boiler isn't working so DH has to have a look at it!! going to get warm in bed before DH gets in from footy!!

hi

back from mums and party.
have just finished putting bits in nursery put sheets, fleece blanket and cuddly teddies in cot.
a few teddies and toys on shelves and all clothes in draws is exciting
have no newborn bits just 2 pairs of tights and one while velour sleepsuit so cant wait to look in tesco on wed when i do food shopping.
there is alot less 0-3 month clothes that i thought only 4 outfits,bodysuits and sleepsuits. dd was so petite only got into 0-3 month clothes when she was 6 months plus. is still very petite now.
sounds interesting bb
la tour dd is really pleased keeps kissing bump and stroking

Hey all!!

Have finally moved but having to stay with my dad at the moment as house not livable, it's a building site!! 4 adults 2 children and 2 border collies in a house is a bit manic!!

Tink... congrats hon i have 2 little princesses and dd1 mothers dd2 which is really lovely to watch!!

BB... Sounds like a def possibility! will keep my fingers crossed for you!!

Deige... Nits!! oh no i haven't had the pleasure of the little critters yet but i'm sure i will do!!

Hi to everyone else to much to keep up with!when i came on here a week ago we were on page 6 we're now on page 18!!! Busy busy thread!

Morning all - just a quick catch up, have PIL here so can't be on for long!

Tink - Congrats on DD2! Is your DD ok with it, as she seemed quite set on a baby brother?

Diege - I've been running around the park outside my house, and can never work out when the man on my podcast is going to tell me to run (so can't work out how many running sections are left each time) so end up going in all sorts of different directions. Its my last run of week 2 today, if the weather stays dry enough - I'll be going a bit later though, after the PIL have gone.

BB - Sounds exciting! Keep us posted!

NJ - Not sure how I'd get it, or even if I should as its quite optimistic...but I'm curious about your chair - I wanted one for DS but couldn't afford it back then (not when we had no carpets, they took priority!) but DH promised I could have one second time around....maybe I'd have to come and visit and try it out

trying desperately not too but...
have had a few days of utter mindfuzz absent mindedness, and have been feeling nauseus after eating and in the mornings however that could be down to getting bread out of my system as i have a mild bread sensitivity..it makes me sick if i eat more than a slice etc, sickness which in theory could have also affected the pill as ive had some (TMI!!) toilet accompliments too.

TBH im not sure there's much of a chance but we were GOFing mid and end of pill induced cycle and experts say sperm can live for a while so i spose i will just have to wait and see...something im no good at!!!x

well ses.....

DP and i arent really at it alot lately but at the weekends we make up for it IYSWIM ? and this cycle ive missed a few pills, prob averaging one a week and particularly a few this week at least three this week.... am due on next week anywhen frm thurs so we shall see, but there is a slight chance..... however it throws up its own complications doesnt it? i mean DP wouldnt be unhapy or anything but we had said dec and also it would make work awkward however i spose i wouldnt need to say anything until jan. I still have an early indication test left from when we were TTC, so i think if No AF by next sat it will be
POAS time!!

although im trying not to get my hopes up too much x
