Hiya,

I put August as its a little late for July!

I'm TTC number 4(!)

Due to test on the 15th August but don't think we have much chance this month as its only our first and DH has been ill for a few days and now I've got the bug, so not much romance happening!

So just wonderded if anyone is just starting TTC and wanted to join me?

lizandlulu · 25/12/2010 20:15

evening all, i am just so proud to report i cooked christmas dinner and so far no one is illXmas Grin in ten years of marriage its only the second time i have had to do it and was very suprised at myself for doing it all so well.

i couldnt eat as much as i would have liked, or usually would, so just ate a little of everything. just had a selection of cold meat and other buffet type items.

(think i have had too many pickled goods Xmas Grin)

KLou111 · 27/12/2010 11:43

Hi All, Hope you all had a fantabulous Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Hoping the little bean is OK in there as it had been fed so much shite, well, spring rolls, butter twists and chocolate is the shite. But also hope it's enjoyed the duck, gammon and cheeseboard too!! The brie is still wrapped up for hubby, staring me in the face in the fridge, willing me to open it, but I shall resist!
Managed to cook for the last 2 days without gagging, and feel as though I have just eated for the hell of it! Had a 'normal' bowl of muesli this morning, need to get some sort of fibre in there!!

KLou111 · 27/12/2010 11:45

*eaten

MadKatz · 27/12/2010 17:44

Hope you all had a good Xmas Day and Boxing Day. No change here really, still waiting! A bit crampy today, could be embedding or could just be too much food!!!

Iwish · 27/12/2010 20:52

Hi madkatz had a lovely Xmas. How was yours?
I'm 8dpo today so going to test on Thursday or Friday I think. I'm a bit cranky but have been for the last 2 weeks, get it every month :(. When you going to test?

Iwish · 28/12/2010 13:23

I meant I'm a bit crampy not cranky!

lizandlulu · 28/12/2010 13:39

afternoon all. i am at work today and am pleasently suprised to find i havent put any weight on, i thoughti might have from the way i feel. my gut is sticking out and i cant hold it in like normal (painting a lovely picture i know!) i feel massive already.

still not got a date for a scan and i am 11 weeks on tomorrowHmm although i am fully expecting them to say 'sorry but you have got your dates wrong and you are 6 months gone'Grin

MadKatz · 28/12/2010 18:45

My Christmas was lovely, I was very spoilt with presents this year. Cooking for 7 was a doddle this time round (dodgy meat last year)so I was quite relaxed!

FF says I'm due on the 4th January and determined not to test before.

Iwish · 29/12/2010 13:21

Cooking for 7 madkatz! flippin eck! I can't even cook for 2 lol. My DP does all the cooking and I go everything else.

Well good luck for 4th jan. I'm going to test sometime this week, af due on 3rd.

hope you are all ok x

KLou111 · 29/12/2010 18:19

Glad you all had a great Xmas.
Telling the parents our news tomorrow they will all be thrilled, especially as it's the 1st grandchild both sides, but we're still nervous to tell them. How daft is that???? Xmas Blush

Iwish · 29/12/2010 18:47

Hi klou aww how are you going to tell them? I bet it is so nerve racking telling them.

KLou111 · 29/12/2010 18:58

Well, we're going straight from Wales to my mum and dads in Warwickshire as I want to tell them first. Think just going to say something like 'There was more than one reason that we wanted to have a Xmas on our own this year, one because it was our 1st one in Wales, but also it was because we were hoping it was going to be our last one on our own, and on 10th December we found out it was going to be.' and see if the penny drops, something like that anyway. :)

Then going to DH's parents about 7 miles away.
DH is going to tell his parents and prob say we have a belated Xmas pressie for you both, but you can't have it till August :)

Iwish · 29/12/2010 19:23

Aww that's so sweet :). You will have to let me know how it goes.
So are you about 6 weeks now? :)

KLou111 · 29/12/2010 19:28

8 weeks yesterday :) Starting to feel 'hard' already. DH thinks it's very odd lol. I'm not what you would call fat, but have a small podge and have always sucked in my tummy for as long as I can remember, but can't even do that now!!

lizandlulu · 29/12/2010 22:01

ahh klou i hope you can say all of that in the right order and not stutter and stammer like i would and get all tongue twistedGrin i bet everyone will be thrilled.

i know what you mean about not being able to suck it all in anymore. i said the exact same thing to my sis in law on monday. my belly has always been there but io have always been able to hold it in, not now though!

MadKatz · 30/12/2010 06:18

Good luck with telling your folks KLou xx

Iwish · 30/12/2010 12:56

8 weeks wow that's gone fast! So how did your parents take the news?

Well I'm 11dpo here. my temps have dropped and i have cramps so back to the drawing board for me just waiting for af then onto month 6. Gutted :(

lizandlulu · 30/12/2010 15:11

Sad for you iwish how long have you been charting for?

Iwish · 30/12/2010 17:46
