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!

Morning all!

NJ - my entire house is a symphony in white (dark wooden floors downstairs and beige carpet upstairs) but it can make a room look cold, so maybe a feature wall in green/light blue etc?

I admire anyone who runs outside - I go to the gym a lot (one at work, so minimum effort involved) but I loathe running. I always set off at a sprint and wonder why I barely make it to the end of the road without collapsing...

Morning . TINKS, go for the coat - shoe laces do not a shopping trip make .
Hi Nat - go and get your parcel, we need to know what's in it . I think a pale green or something like a very pale apricot or barley white would be good for the room. See what you mean about creams, but maybe you need a bit of contrast to stop the furniture disappearing into the walls iyswim? Very exiciting - can't wait till it's my turn!
Good to hear from you GYO . Latour, you have made me feel tired too with all this running talk I am still sticking to the videos for now, and am pleased to this morning finally to have crept into the stone I want to be in . And my tummy is flat now [boast] - cat anxiety is a good diet .
Must get a lecture written today - am determined not to spread it over 4 days like last week!

morning

thanks gyo it feels like i have been waiting for ages for 3-d scan as i booked it so long ago 2 days and counting
good luck with move ses not too much stressing
we are off into town is dry here 2 so far.
dh broke one of his work shoe laces so thrilling purchase not.
might get dd a coat

Argh, meant to say, it's good to hear from our trans-atlantic MNer!

Right, shower.....

Morning

Good luck today Ses, hope it goes smoothly

LB, is DD better now?

LaTour, you make me feel tired just reading about your running! Good on you though, especially still going in this bloody awful weather, that would be where I retreated to sitting in front of the fire with the galaxy at the ready, with thoughts of 'Oh I'll go tomorrow....' every day!

Having said that about the weather, it isn't actually raining yet, if it stays dry-ish, I will pop into town to get this parcel, and am going to get the paint for the baby's room Not sure which colour to pick up on, the bedding is all earthy colours like in the pictures, but there is every colour you could think of in it. Think I might stick to some of the creams though because the furniture is quite large, and quite dark for a small room... might do a light green actually... sorry am thinking out loud!

Spose I'd better go and get showered! xxx

Ahhaaaa

I've worked out who LaTour is!!!

Great to have you hear LaTour.

Glad to hear you are on CD3 and the running sounds good too!

Tink- if I dont get on again good luck with the 3d scan! Cant wait to hear what sex it is! Feels like we've been waiting for ages!

Hi to everyone else, sorry I've not caught up properly. Will be back online properly next week!

Bye for now.

Evening all, 2bg, I hope no news is good news (sending hugs as I'm sure it must have been a worrying day for you).

NJ - I can't imagine you with all your boxes - must have been like Christmas! Bet DS enjoyed helping you.

Ses, hope your DH the packing is moving on a bit and you're nearly done.

Been out for another run tonight and it went really well - I'm massively overweight so pleasantly surprised at how well I'm doing and finding it very satisfying. Dog's a bit knackered though .

DH is cooking dinner tonight - chicken fajita's which I'm really looking forward to now

Next run should be on Friday and then the PIL are visiting this weekend so hoping to get out whilst they are here to entertain DH DS.

Jealous of all the shopping and scans etc. Hope its my turn soon - only CD3 so if my cycles are just as long now as they were before MC, then OV'ing is a way off yet. Feel like a bit of a beginner to say the least!

evening all.......

TBG I hope all went well at the Dr and the bleeding is nothing to worry about.

NJ I am of your shopping.

Glask sorry you are unwell it is the pits isn't it.

Deige I dont like you working, far to little time for us now .

Tink so excited re your scan I have my 20 week one next week. Not going to find out the sex though!!

Ses leave the rest for dh I say.....

Hi to everyone else!!!

Ses, hope you aren't over doing it with the packing, make sure you rest as much as poss. and it's nothing to do with baby as such, just that your tummy muscles will be relaxing and you will find it very easy to pull them. Listen to me, I am a doctor

Tink, no not using sleeping bags, the baby will be in with us for at least 6 months, and then when he goes in his room, with it only being a small room it stays very warm. A sleeping bag would just keep him even hotter, dangerously so. In fact that is the biggest problem we've had putting DS2 in with DS1, DS2 is used to having no blanket or anything over him, where as now he's in a bigger room, he is feeling the cold because he won't keep a blanket on!

the scan is sat diege u were close
cant stop thinking about it 24/7. it is so much more different with 2nd one as i already have dd think about what gender i might be carrying more.
if i go by old wives tales it would be a boy :-

carrying low and all out the front
when i put necklace above bump swings in circles
bump is basketball shape
i am feeling tired now definetly an early night tonite and pray that she doesnt wake up again tonite or @ least if she does she goes back to bed.
think i am getting a cold feels like i have dust in my nose keep sneezing and blowing
i am waiting for kitten pics to go above cot and dds x2 cotbed sheets.
r you going to uses sleeping bags nj?
i love them have loads that i used with dd

If I'd have found the card before 1 o'clock I could have rang and had it re-delivered tomorrow, but the PO shuts at 1 (small town cowboys! ) so if I rang tomorrow they wouldn't re-deliver it till Friday and I can't wait that long!

Have heard very good things on the grapefruit front, also a tip: EWCM sinks in water, DH's left overs balls up and floats.

And don't forget, wet and slippery CM is as good as EWCM, it all does it's job!

Tink did say about blue dungarees for a boy, but someone ages ago was on about buying maternity dungarees when they got to the stage of needing maternity. It might have been Kay actually... or LB maybe... can't remember!

Meant will try grapefruit jucie for next month, not week!! ( I need some time off - my fanjo can't take it!) ]

Ooh Nat your excitement is infectious Could you ring up/book online a redelivery slot to save you having to collect mystery item tomorrow?
Oh and re: dungarees was that TINK talking about blue dungarees for boy?
2BG - echo waht others have said spotting at 6 weeks extremely common. I had what you had with dd1 - just a smudge of pinkish brownn that disappeared the next day and never came back again. Hope GP can put your mind at rest .
HEEBS - I'll try the grapefruit juice I think! Yes, have been using the pre-seed (on 'fertile' days from opk at least) so may have done the same think as EWM. Just thinking, maybe my body isn't producing EWM because it's not 'ready' yet after MC? Will try grapefruit juice for next week. Also, have been thinking that all this goffing may well have effected what sort of 'secretions' (urghh) I see anyway?
TINKS - hope you're not too tired after difficult night. Is it Friday or Monday you have your scan?
Right, best get some work done. I had forgotten how tiring standing up and talking for 2 hours was, plus difficult group of 70 plus to manage!!!

It was quite funny actually Tink, I'd just written "Not everything has been delivered" and was going to go on to say: I am waiting on the bedding, can't wait to see it in RL, and then the door bell went and it was here! LOL

Oh door bell, anyone pick up on that? We bought a new one a couple of weeks ago - it works!! No more waiting for every car coming down the street!

I think, apart from a few small bits, everything else I am waitng on is on a much longer delivery lead time, the furniture for instance will be next month, the buggy will probably be by the end of this month, etc. etc.

Will have to have a good sort through of what I've ordered from where actually, else I'll lose track of what's due when.

The postman left a card this morning for something that needed a signature, no idea what that is! So will need to go and get it tomorrow. I thought ordering it al was fun, recieving it is much better!!

Can you tell I'm excited?! LOL Haven't stopped typing!

oh wow bedding 2

it is very exciting getting things in the post
not me with dungarees

It isn't raining constantly today (unlike yesterday) it is stopping and starting, but when it is starting it is absolutely puring down, really proper proper chucking it down!

Not everything has been delivered...

Ooooooooooooooh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh the bedding and stuff has just arrived

I am drowing in boxes, but what lovely boxes to drown in hey?!! LOL

Tink, sheets sounds great! I want to get mine out!

Hey who was it who was after maternity dungarees? Did you do it?

sorry u got wet nat nice and sunny here but bitter wind hasnt rained here since early this morning i will do a sun dance for you lol

hi

glas - poor u being ill

nat - ye for bits but oh no for dh scare must have been horrible.
wow your bits came quickly
i have just received my cot sheets they are gorgeous and drum roll ............
they fit perfectly have put on on cot mattress and put mattress back in wrapper to keep dust off.
will have to wash bedding nearer time.
sheets look great.
i think that i have done well not buying too much 2 we can both pat ourselves on the back nj
when pregnant with dd mainly due 2 the fact she was my first and always wanted a girl i went mad, bought loads of rattles soft toys clothes etc etc etc......
if i find out i am having a boy in 3 days and counting will go mad getting blue items of clothing

Must admit I have surprised myself how well I held off from the shopping, I really started caving after the 20 week scan and got most of the clothes, but then didn't want to get the nursery stuff till the boys were in their room, it has been really good just getting down to it and ordering everything at once instead of spreading it out like I did with the boys pregnancies. It is even better now some of it is arriving!

I think getting xmas shopping well underway helped to put me off the baby shops as well.

i'm going bouncy chair shopping after my 12wk scan!! when i finally get the date through!!- its driving me mad waiting for it!!

It's all good I think, they have sent a different bath/changer thing, but it is the more expensive one so I won't moan! LOL

Only thing is the bath/changer thing is in a big box, the playpen is in a big box, and all of the smaller items are in another big box, I can't move! We bought a bouncy chair from MC at the weekend and that is still hanging around in the hallway, also in a big box!

It's all very exciting though! Even if we are living around boxes (Sound familiar Ses?!! )

on another note- how nice is all your new stuff???

I'd be so exited i'd be sat in the middle of half opened boxes, and bits and pieces all over the living room!!

well i'm glad you can see the funny side already!!
