Waiting to TTC part 2!

It is a TTC milestone!! Will sniff some chocolate for you, couldn't possibly eat any after all the ice cream last night!

Nurse told me at my smear yesterday that a woman came in last week for her smear & brought her 3 & a half year old DD with her!! Said the girl kept asking what was going on & wanting to look!!!

From what people have said to me girls are trickier babies (please don't quote me) but when they get to toddlers it all evens out a bit. Personally I think it probably depends more on the childs personality, genes & upbringing. DD was very wriggly when I was pregnant & didn't ever do much of the newborn sleeping thing. She didn't cry much, just was always alert & wanting entertaining!

I love the fact she is a bit of a tomboy (I am not very girly, although have my moments) she is happiest at Grandads farm in wellies digging potatoes & also loves spiders and snakes! She pushes boys about twice her age/size & generally takes no prisoners! Feisty, but definately needs a sibling to keep her in check I think!

Biscuits - are you starting TTC today? Or aat least NPP?

Girls are hard work...well my girl is!! All the baby boys I know are so chilled & easy going!

Was really into the gender influencing idea when we started discussing TTC over a year ago!! But now I just want to have a baby, but I know DH would dearly love a DS, think most men do want a boy don't they? We had hoped that DD was going to be a DS, and whilst she is a comlete tomboy she is most definately lacking certain parts & will therefore not be playing rugby...I put my foot down! Only another year til she can start ballet!

Have to justify it somehow!

Glad the sewing went ok!

Can't believe the weekend is here again!! Weeks seem to be going so fast...not that I am complaining!

Anyone else got any crazy gender influencing TTC tricks? I've half heartedly been looking at shettles, but I find it all a bit too 'clinical' , DH was all for it though...think he needs male company! Like I said, I'm not massively bothered if we have a boy or a girl, but if I have to stop at 2 DCs one of each would be nice. (Cliched I know)

Had enough Haagan Daas for everyone! Feeling very stuffed & guilty now!

Going to be trying to influence things towards conceiving a boy (not really that bothered what flavour DC we have but a boy would be nice) and eating dairy is supposed to not be good for conceiving boys so need to scoff all the ice cream I can now! Probably an old wives tale, but can't hurt really, esp if I'm on the supplements & obviously once actually PG would be making sure I had enough calcium!

Biscuits - I feel your pain! DD has had a day of saying 'No' 'I not want to' & 'stop it mummy'! Aaaaarrrrggghh! And NO nap! Thank God she is in bed now! Just hope she sleeps it is so humid! Isn't it amazing though that they can be so irritating & so cute at the same time?!

Going to do some lovely baby day dreaming this evening whilst scoffing my Haagan Daas...yes I have held out til now! Self restraint or what?!

Could you not just get a snake & sort of drape it round yourself to cover your modesty? That might minimise your need for sewing? All though depends how busty you are, you might need a big snake!

Oooh, what you going as? I love a creative project! Haven't been to a nice ball in ages, last chance I got to wear a nice frock was my wedding day!

Biscuits - I love lemon meringue pie, it is absolutely my favourite dessert in the whole world! Very !!

Shagging - That must be very tricky on the broody front being around those collegues every day! I find it really difficult being around PG people just makes me sad for some reason! Odd I know! But I do get to indulge the broodiness by buying cute newborn gifts for all these people I know busy sprogging!!

Ooooh I do hope so! The nurse did say that all being well the next time I have one will be after another baby! She even said maybe I'll get lucky and get called up for one when I'm PG like I did last time!

Can see how licorice wouldn't cut it, although am partial to a piece or 2 of that aussie soft eating licorice!

Trying to resist the Haagan Daas for as long as possible, but give it an hour before the steroids make my blood sugar crash!

Must be so hard to concentrate at work if all you can think about is TTC?! I'm finding it hard enough being at home, but then I'm around my DD all day & when she is cute she is very very cute

8 months will go quickly...is less thana year, and less than the time you will actually be PG!!

This time last year I was hoping I'd already be pregnant by now! Then DH changed his mind to not trying til June, then he changed it again! He isn't getting away with that this time...we will be TTC in December, I have a massive ticking health clock & need to do this while I still can. Despite this relapse I'm actually the healthiest I have been in a long time! I'm actually very lucky that when I am not in a relapse my day to day health & symptoms are excellent. Which is obviously in my favour!

Smear test done...YUK! Bought a tub of Haagan Daas & some yummy smoothie ice lollies that I love...and some chocolate eclairs which I have shared with DH, that way the calories don't count right?!
