Hi all,

It's bloody freezing here - went for nap this afternoon & dh felt he'd join me so not much napping happened!!!!

Glad you had a good time last night Clur. Shame I missed it - money is rather tight at the mo!

I've got a really possitive feeling that this is our month so I've really got my fingers crossed.

hi all.

fairy - the whole family thing always seems more magnified over christmas. Hope boxing day with all the "baby" talk isn't too tough for you. Enjoy your chilled day

stac - hope the morning sickness dies down for you, did you get it with your last pregnancy? I was lucky in that I didn't have any

ven - I agree with the girls in that a glass of wine is ok, I went to a christmas do last night and had a couple, I think I get to a point when I know I'm not preg and have a few glasses in defiance. Think if you don't want a drink though you need to be politely firm in refusing - tough at this time of year

jobo and millymolly - how are you both?

We'll I have a slight heavy head from the wine and dancing last night and now have to face a big tidy up and cook ready for DD's secret santa party. Got 13 kids coming!! yikes!

Hi everyone

Ven I think the odd glass whilst you are ttc wouldn't hurt, the odd time I've drunk I just made sure it was well before ovulation (don't know if that medically makes a difference but I persuaded myself!). Could you say that you are on antibiotics or something, or that you've had a skinful over the last week with all the xmas parties and can only face one glass? When I was 2 months pregnant with DS1 over xmas, my late mil actually kept asking if I wanted a drink - we hadn't told everyone and I had to keep refusing, but then again she also smoked around me and in the car so she obviously came from a different era!
Sorry to hear about your Dad, I think how we feel or how much we miss people is nothing to do with being grown up or how long since loss, you are entitled to feel what you feel, for as long as you do.

fairy pre-conception nesting!Love it! There is times i just want to get a big skip and clear everything out!

stac no snow, just drizzle now, but at least its warmed up.

thislittle you've been a bit quiet, hope you are ok.

a bit early I know but I'd like to stick with Baileys babydust today! xxx

hi stac am fine just keeping my fingers crossed for my af to come on weds. hows are u

Ven you could possibly have 1 glass or even water it down with lemonade or Tonic (say you fancied an old fashioned Spritza as it's xmas).

Christmas is a nightmare with fam...We're spending it just the two of us with DH's bro joining us after he's finished work. Then I'm popping into to see my niece & nephew in the evening so the can have their presents before they get a ton on Boxing day.

It's Boxing Day I'm not looking forward to - It'll be my sister & her fam, my parents, my bro & the new baby, his in-laws, mum's sister & her DH & my nan...sure enough I'll have the pity faces cos I aint preg yet, have to listen to baby talk all day & then get the constant stmpathy that it'll happen soon...Thats the day I'm dreading!!!!!

Must be hard not having your dad around.

Why do we do this to ourselves - especially us who need to keep stress levels down!!!!

I'm having a fab chill out today - no school work. Played Mario Kart for a bit & maybe have Singstar or Buzzz in a little while!

Bailey's baby dust for all

Afternoon,

Fairy-sorry to hear about your friend. Hope you and she are doing OK.

So nice to drop in again, glad everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit.

Hoping to start my first lot of Clomid on 23rd if all goes according to plan and then spending Christmas with my DH and his family including MIL.

I wondered if any of you had any advice-how do you cope with people who insist you have a drink? MIL is keen on a glass of wine, any refusal in the past has lead to conclusions being drawn and telling her I'm not pg then leads to a whole conversation I don't want to have (again) with her. She's lovely in many ways but breathtakingly tactless. Am really trying to keep the peace (well someone in the family will have a row with her, just trying to make sure its not me).

Feel down, not sure if its being under too much stress or that its my second christmas without dad, can't really get used to the fact he won't be there. Silly really, I am a grown up after all.

Ah well, glittery baby dust all round then?

Hi all,

As of this morning thats all the preg women in my family had theirs - thats my nephew & cousin born 10 days apart. I recieved a text from my 'Auntie' at about 6am to say she's had her little girl. Is it me or is birth weights smaller again. Thats my nephew at 6lb 4oz & my cousin at 6lb 11oz! We were all 8lb-ers when we were born & so was my other nephew & niece!

How's everyones weekend? We made it down to town yesterday but was there hours & was a struggle getting back up the hill as the snow is now a sheet of ice!

Clur how was the panto?

Stac how you feeling today?

Jobo how's the snow?

hi stac

I can't believe another funeral so soon - I don't blame you for having a 'me day' to remember your mum's anniversary, big hugs.

Hopefully in a couple of weeks you'll be feeling better as the placenta takes over.

we have snow! It won't last, never does over here but DS is delighted. That will allhange when he realises there is not enough for a snowman or even snowball. The most we can hope to get out of it is checking that the loft is well insulated!!

clure enjoy your panto, DS doesn't like noisy things either (apart from himself!) at the air display we bring ear defenders!

snowy babydust xxxx

Hi Stac - how you feeling today?

Very small world - very weird as neither of us knew the other was trying or on Clomid. lol. So at least we have a mini support network almost on hand when need be. We normal sneak a quick convo when no-one else is around. Gotta say with most of the preg people at work off last week & was an easier week. I know we can't ban them (lol! That would be so funny - "Oi, you can get preg easily, out! lol!) but it was nice to have a little break!

Well I've prob got 2 weeks break...

Yep a ton of snow & it's now turning to ice - really don't want to be stuck indoors today as have things to post & bills to pay!

Plus I'm doing pre-conception nesting (just made that up!) as I've been cleaning out all the kitchen cupboards since 7am this morning. My body isn't used to 'hoiday' mode yet & I needed to clear all the crap out!

Have a good day (((hugs for Stac)))

oh yes and we've had tons of snow!

hi stac,
yes fairy and I teach at same school but completely came across each other by accident on this thread - how coincidental is that? Its tiring the first few months of pregnancy, bit of a shock for the body! I remember those and the last month being REALLY tired. We off to panto tomorrow (yikes!!) Hope DD will enjoy it, she usually doesn;t do noisy situations too well

Ah but Clure, you got an extra holiday with DD.
The weird thing about my friend is that it's just a part of our lives now. We can't really remember the time before that. Although we do joke she had a longer pregnancy than an elephant! lol. Thats cos she was almost preg back to back!

Snow was lovely - had a lovely lunch with my parents (they are giving it another go) & watched by niece & nephew playing in the snow!

Keep up the BDing. DH is complaining now cos we did it so regularly last month he feels he's missing out. Hopefully only be a few more days. So CD3 for me!

Another glass (possibly bottle) of baileys baby dust! **

hi all

millymolly, this is my second time (although on cycle 4) with clomid, I had clomid to conceive my DD who is nearly 5, that time the clomid worked first time....seems to be taking a little longer this time. hope you get af soon so you can get on with the clomid x

Fairy, I can't even begin to imagine how your friend feels, its terribly sad. hope you enjoyed the extra days hols, as I don;t work fridays i feel a bit cheated!!

jobo and stac - big wave to you

Still not sure if I've ov but am bd-ing just to be sure, DH isn't complaining though. Had a lovely day with DD made a fab snowman and then spent the rest of the day having a long lunch with friends whose childrne are also DD's friends so a good time had by all

sprinking of festive babydust and maltesers

Milly I'm on cycle 5!!!!!! But my first time on clomid as we don't have any children yet (except the 22 I see in term time lol)!

Jobo - I've heard that about grief. I'm not convinced you get better a dealinmg with it, I think you start to give a new spin on it. t took my friend 6 years to fall preg naturally but she now says he let her know her body worked fine, it made her husband realise he was ready for fatherhood, we've now got an angel in the family (her son & my godson - not many people can say they are godmother to an angel) & she wouldn't have the fantasticly cheeky little madam she know has & treasures every moment with.

My friend & I have many convos about motherhood & that & have decided that women who try so hard to be parents are the best parents. We appreciate them & yes kids can be trying at times, but being a teacher & watching how some ch are dragged up, spoken to & treated is awful & you know you'd never treat your ch like that!

Aww bless DS. My little niece wants to know when I'll be giving her a girl cousin as my brother just had a boy. My nephew, who is 2 1/2, gets totally freaked out by preg women - he thinks they've eaten a baby & gives very dirty looks!!!!
