Thread three... Rock and Roll......

Well done Humpty :)

Gobbolin seeing a heartbeat is definately a good sign, don't worry about the size, at this stage it isn't that exact, plus you might have ovulated later than you thought, or implantation may have been later, or both.

I'm really bloated Pop, it's horrible!

and yes extra I've been really lazy this week! We went shopping earlier for vegetable soup (which is a very healthy craving considering I'm a chocoholic usually!) and now I'm lying on the sofa watching 'bones' dvds, and don't really plan on moving again, possibly ever!

Ok that makes me feel much better! DH keeps making helpful suggestions and I just keep going "nope!"
Vegetable soup - good craving. I want a KFC and I've only ever had it once before!

The nausea has hit very hard today. All I can think about is eating cakes, too! Haven't actually vommed, but it's almost worse to be in a perpetual state of feeling as though I might... On my phone, so can't really keep track of everyone, but it sounds as though most are enjoying this fab weather. Hope everyone's getting a nice break!

extra I can really relate to that. Dh is at work until about 10pm and I'm so bored but can't be bothered to do anything about it. The weather is beautiful too...feel like I'm wasting such a nice day :-(

Hi all,

toby good luck for tomorrow. I won't be around until Monday so will catch up then. I'm off to a wedding so hoe the weather lasts!

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Hello All. I have been lurking these past few days and fxing for everyone with scans. I'm going to try to hold out until 8 wks (currently 5+3) because I can only go on a Thursday due to childcare issues, so either 7+1 or 8+1 and I figure the latter will be more likely to be conclusive. Hopefully in a good way. This may all go to pot closer to the time though ;-)

Had a terrible day on Thursday when I did a CB test and it said 2-3 weeks, just like the previous Friday. Spent the whole day in tears and on the internet convincing myself it could only mean one (bad) thing, but then I did a cheapo boots test last night and the test line came up strong pink even as the control line was just starting to show, so I feel a bit better. I have also just spent the last 3 hours in bed feeling really awful (though no actual sickness). Am hoping this passes quickly as I can't do this when DH isn't here to entertain DS.

Oh rosalux step away from the tests! You might have only just been on the 2-3 week borderline the first time. They're not massively accurate as other people here have had varying readings too. Or you might just have been more dilute second time. Think positive!

Oh & I'm 6+5 & still relatively symptom light beyond moodiness & tiredness. Slightly heavy boobs. Poor DP got it last night when he didn't buy me a naan bread with my takeaway curry - my extreme unreasonable emotions always seem to be food related!!

I don't think that's unreasonable frog. Curry without a naan merits both barrels in my opinion

Yup bikey - exactly!

Rosalux those digital tests are pretty dodgy. Don't stress!

Frog that is classic! Haha I can imagine being effing furious!

Thanks Frogcatcher (curious name - is it cat related by any chance?). Easier said than done, but I am trying. DH took DS to the vegfest this afternoon and by all accounts he had a great time, mostly eating! Still, all good healthy food so can't complain. I'm also becoming (even more) crazy unreasonable at the drop of a hat. Last night, as I sat scoffing (home made, somehow this makes it better IMO) chocolate walnut brownies, DH said something gently ribbing, and I had a massive strop and sulked off to bed to read the papers for the rest of the evening

Yep the name is cat-related! When I joined MN my cats were having a frog phase & I was always having to catch them as my DP is a total wimp about things like that can't stand them.

The naan bread was possibly justifiable. However You should have seen me in tears the other morning because he'd accidentally eaten the Quorn pieces I was going to take for lunch thinking they were chicken when drunk & left me a fridge full of meat stuff. He thought I had lost the plot!

4athomeand1cooking - you mentioned getting ice cube cravings in your previous pregnancies. You probably already know this, but that's a symptom of anaemia. I'm long-term anaemic and was told to watch out for that and various other things as a warning of low iron levels. Just thought I'd mention it in case you hadn't heard before!

omg I must seriously STOP looking/thinking about baby names...way too early!! dh has already decided on a girls name,atleast he's showing an interest I suppose lol.

We've already decided a girls name sarah, middle name and all! We have a couple of names we like for a boy. We decided them all before we even got pregnant, the joys of TTC for 5 months! I also have a spreedsheet with everything we need to buy (including links to online shops) so there is nothing much for us to decide now we're actually pregnant!

wow u r seriously organised mrsgsr :) im really stuck on boys names.im thinking about naming baby after my husband (if its a boy),a bit unimaginative but I kinda like the idea of it.

Wow - extreme organisation on here! As we have most things there's not a lot to so. DH is convinced it is a boy this time (for the record I say another girl) so there will be clothes. I'm afraid DD's clothes weren't all bright pink but most are definitely girls.

Re. names - the night before my 20 week scan with DD, knowing we were going to find out the baby's sex, DH and I each wrote names for boys and girls on post it notes, vetoed a few so we had ten of each and then when we knew DD was DD ranked the girls' names every week, knocking the bottom one out until we had a winner. Looking back we struggled to get to ten boys' names and will really struggle if we have to settle on one!

I've also just got up from a three hour nap rosa. DD is ignoring me now in favour of DH and my parents and 'Mummy, bed, tired.' She is 2.3 and a but out out that in struggling to stay awake at weekends and she is at nursery during the week, so another thing to feel guilty about!

frogcatcher I keep thinking about curry now! We went out for a family lunch and I had a Maragita pizza with nothing other than chillies to try and keep it simple and it was wonderful.

Too organised i think! I love the idea of naming it after DH, I've always loved his name anyway. I think it might get a bit confusing though! Although my BIL is named after their father, who was named after his father... we've gone back to 1850s and they're all named after each other!

One of each generation of FIL's family have the same name but are all known by their middle name to avoid confusion!

I have my girls name Charlotte. Middle name will be my mums.

Boys we are stuck, although I think Oliver is top atm.

coco that is an excellent choice and one I would imagine it would be very nice having both as a child and an adult. (ahem).

I have maizie rose for a girl.I already have a little girl called Paige Olivia.If its a boy it will probably be Danny jr. but im not 100% on boys name yet.i love Zachary but dh is having none of it!

MrsGSR - don't suppose you'd like to share your spreadsheet at all? You are much more organised than I am, I don't even know where to start! I would send you many good vibes in return.....

I'm not sure how to share it, I've probably missed a lot off it, its my first baby so I'm not really sure what we'll need!
