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!

hormones is what I meant to type but have dd on my lap crying at the moment...

I know you have been a very busy mummy havent you. I am ok feeling a bit down at the moment but no reason for it (except hormoans).. DD is a bit poorly with a high temp and cold symptoms so I am also tired as she is up a lot during the night.

How about you? Cant believe you are over 25 weeks now..... wow it really is going quick. I am 18 weeks and I thought that mine was going fast!!

Awww LB, it's not much fun is it? I think I'd rather go through childbirth 4 times in a row than have a bad tooth ache! Fingers crossed the AB's get working soon enough.

How are you other than that? I keep missing you recently, feel like it's been ages since we caught up properly.

Evening all. I have an abscess [sp?} and am on antibiotics. If they don?t clear it all up then I am going to lose the tooth (which will be a pain as it is my main molar on the bottom. Still at least the pain should be gone by tomorrow (cant start antibiotics till tonight as have to be taken on an empty stomach)!!!

I cried when I left the dentist because I thought that there would be a risk to baby with the antibiotics but chemist said no they are safe with no known dangers (still not 100% reassured or relieved...)

OMG, have linked to this on another thread, but had to show you lot.... am still at the 0-3 months part!

Good luck at appointment Tink, hope they tell you what you want to hear! I have a similar thread running about induction at 38/40 weeks! Cot and car seat sound very exciting

GJ, there are defo upsides to being childfree, sometimes it is hard to see them though when all you want is a baby!

Hi all,

spent a lovely weekend with my brother and SIL and their gorgeous 3 week old daughter . They are both exhausted which is a reminder of how tough the first few weeks can be but soooo happy . Baby doesn't sleep much but least I could take her for a long walk so they got an afternoon nap. As I thought it has made me feel really and I want to push DP into agreeing 100% we can start ttc after xmas (he is about 80% there he says but just needs a bit more time to get used to the idea). I know I shouldn't nag but find it hard to stop myself .

TINK - hope the appointment goes well (and you end up in the right place)

Ses/Wilson - hope the moves get sorted soon. Maybe you can ask NJ to help with the packing/unpacking. She sounds like a pro!

2BG - any space in your suitcase to smuggle me across - sounds like a great way to spend xmas

Hi to everyone else (waves)

hi
leaving for consultant appmnt @ 2:30pm
not sure what to expect.
thought appmnt was in winchester isnt is in andover pregnancy brain lol
quite keen on the idea of being induced @ 38 weeks to prevent me from being to big to prevent me from tearing this time around.
received cot,mattress and car seat all lool great!
hoping 2 put up cot later and put new car seat in car

I am of your 'next years holidays' just one holiday would be good for us!

Re. your dinner, I think if she is banging on about being pregnant/babies etc. a little hint of how your feeling might be enough to get her to curb it a bit, if she isn't really saying much about it, I'd take the cue from her.

I think mostly, people who are pregnant talking to people who haven't had kids yet (whether they are TTC'ing or not) don't tend to talk about it much. It would be a bit boring if you happened to be someone who wasn't interested in kids at all!

Wow, Eurodisney sounds fantastic at xmas 2BG Will you tell the girls before hand or surprise them with it?

I am 25+3 now, time is going so quickly, I'm so glad xmas shopping, in the main, is done! Just one thing off the to-do list.

Morning everyone, just popping in trying to keep up.
Sorry about the house delays ses and Wilson?

Welcome Sandy. I didn't temp, thought it sounded like too much hard work! Maybe if i had been trying for longer may have considered it.

Nat- you sound very organised. how many weeks are you now?

GYO- have a good trip.

Well i have persuaded DH that we should take the DD's to Eurodisney for xmas. I am sooo excited they are going to love it. We will go xmas eve and come back day after boxing day.... Just been pricing it all up, probably going to book it next week.

Bloody hell, luxury...

Back from town, (record time?!) Have finished the xmas/bday shopping except DS1's guinea pigs and cage, and DS2's big bday pressie (have no idea what it is yet!)

Tink, I am getting very excited for sorting the babies room out, kind of makes it all real once you start doesn't it?!

Sandy, temping can be helpful to help you work out exactly what happens with your own cycle, books will tell you you get your period every 28 days and you ovulate on day 14, this may well be true, but there are so many varients that if you only had sex on day 14 you could be TTC'ing for a long time! The stick to wee on (Ovulation Prediction Kits - or OPK's) are again to help determine when you OV. I think generally people tend to start off TTC'ing and if nothing is happening in a few months then they start exploring different methods that can help, but they can also really stress you out and take a lot of the fun away. For a lot of reasons they are a god send to some people, and they are well worth a go if it is taking a while, or if you have no idea of your cycles to begin with. We have a few temping queens on here that should be able to shed more light on the practical side of things if you decide you want to give it a go.

GYo, hope the flight goes well, I am thinking of you in your business class luxery!

Hi everyone
Just a very quick one to say hi. Am at airport waiting to get on my plane to Chicago.

Morning

Ses, sorry it's all on hold - major PITA, get well soon wishes winging their way to your laptop

Wilson, same to you as well really. When we were looking at houses to buy before we found this place, one we went to see was a bloke whose wife had ran off with another man, she wanted it sold, he didn't, so we walked in to a house that had obviously been looked after by her, the gardens were neat and tidy, flower beds looked a bit trampled but nothing major, got inside and it was completely different, he had obviously done everything he could to put people off, take away food cartons everywhere, big slavering dog left to just jump all over us, smelly, needless to say, he won and we didn't go any further than the living room!

Welcome to Sandy Any dates in mind for the wedding? How exciting!

So, I think we are done-ish, carpet is in, furniture is in, they both slept in there last night and it went well considering DS1 likes the light on and the door open, and DS2 likes it pitch black with the door shut!! Poor DH has gone back to work this morning looking like he has had no sleep for a week, he has worked so hard, normally I can get my hands dirty as well but obviously can't at the moment, he says he was pleased to go back to work to have a break LOL

I am off into town today, and then will be spending the rest of the day putting their bits into the room, and sorting out DS2's old room, but once that is done I can start seriously on the baby's stuff

evening all I have been so busy today... I am in agony with a toothache at the moment. My gum around the tooth is blue and swollen. I have taken paracetamol today and yesterday hope I can get into dentist tomorrow because I can not take much more of the pain..... ouch...............

Anyway enough about me how is everyone else I am 18 weeks now....

Hi again!!

I really am losing the will to live the vendor has told the estate agents he's ok with the 26th but has failed to tell his sols so it actaully means squat!!

Geordie... Its a marital split and he was the one who walked out on her and is making her life hell, i think he just wants to have the last say and is still trying to control her as shes the one who's had to sell the property and deal with everything. Bloody men!!

Hey ho on a lighter note my cold has gone!!
