The Bus Stop - Waiting to TTC (part 3)

[bebejones]

New thread ladies! :)

Old one here

Will go get the list.....

Hello everybody!

js I have done as you asked! I'm impressed about your run tonight! Good luck with it! Do you listen to music?

squirrel go you ! In the gym again already. I need to get my own arse in gear re exercise. I'm working until 7 so doubt will want to do anything tonight but I'm planning on going for a ride tomorrow (bike ride not the fun kind)

nannyl Good news about the car! To put a photo on You go to mymumsnet at the top which lets you set up a profile, you can then upload photos from your albums or whatever :)

bebe I think you are right about not mentioning TTC to DH at the moment-best to wait for a time when you think he is more relaxed and confident about the future :) Has DD asked when the next party will be yet?

Strawberrypie - You look almost exactly how I imagined, how funny is that. You are one very glam lady!!! I think I am going to have to listen to music tonight as I need the distraction. May have to get a playlist put together today (I can tell it's really not going to be productive on the work front, have already done my Sainsbury's online order for the weekend!!!)

nannyl facebook is good if you can't upload a pic on here. Awesome news on the car - you must be so excited that it's arriving soon!!!

ok i think i have managed to upload a photo of me (& OH) can someone look and tell me if it has worked please

yes am very excited to be picking up car later.... not so delighted about insurance costs but hey ho!

Off for a swim in a min, i am trying to do 60 lengths every weekday before i let myself have lunch!!!

Hmmm - for some reason I can't see your profile. Is it private?

Very impressed at your 60 lengths before lunch - I love swimming but there isn't a pool near to us and gyms here are so darn expensive I am going to have to hit the junk food for lunch today...... very bad but I'm so bloody hungry!!

ok

yes my profile was private... i have tried again does it work now?

Im lucky i have 2 local pools within 3 miles!!!

Yay - I can see you. Can't see your face very well so not sure if you look as I expected!!! Lucky you having 2 pools on your doorstep - have a nice swim!

I didn't realise you were a nursery nurse / nanny (although the name should really have give that away shouldn't it!!!) I'd love to do that and have looked at the EYPS course at Bath Spa university but at the moment it's not really realistic because of money.

Loving all the new photos! Strawberry & JS looking very glam & putting tubby old me to shame!

DD just had the most epic of tantrums & made herself sick from screaming! All because I got her out of the bath! (Not normal bathtime but she had been playing with her sand table & was covered!) Hoping she has worn herself out & will have a nice nap now

Strawberry - not so sure it's being cosiderate to DH. Just don't want to bring it up & have him change his mind again. Am just coasting along hoping that if I don't mention it & just get on with the original plan, then it'll all be fine!

bebe (puts on stern voice) don't be down on yourself. You're not tubby and your recent weight loss is nothing short of amazing. You are very pretty.

It sounds like DD is being a little challenging today. Am always rather impressed that they can make themselves sick from screaming - that's quite a talent!! I hope she has a nice sleep and gives you a chance to chit chat on MN recover!!

Have put a recent pic (ie today) onto my profile & generally had a tidy up of the pictures! Thanks JS, very kind!

Have so much to do but just lacking any enthusiasm. Did a little bit of gardening (well tied some more canes to the sunflowers) wanted to re-pot my strawberries but forgot to get compost! Ooops!

Must summon the energy to sort through DDs downstairs toybox! She has more clutter than I do!

WOW!!! You look fabulous! The difference between 15 weeks in and today is unbelievable.......

bebe just looked at your piccies again and agree with JS, looking fab

bebe can I add my compliments to those above- you look lovely! how much weight have you lost? Have you followed a specific diet or just healthy eating? You need to let us other dieters your secret!

know you secret, sorry!

Strawberry - have lost a little over 4st since xmas. Haven't done anything specific, just been calorie counting & stepped up my exercise! 12 more lbs will give me a good healthy weight BMI buffer zone!

I have seen your pic...you don't need to diet, you too look lovely!! :)

And also your cat is adorable! I love cats!! :)

Wowzers bebe that is such an achievement! You must have a will of iron!

Thank you for your nice comments! I've got to agree with you about Edith- she is a little stunner! She was a stray that was brought into the vets where I work........and the rest is history!

I wouldn't say 'will of iron' but I am very stubborn, plus I have the best incentive! :o

I have 2 cats. (We did have 3 but one decided she didn't like DD so took up residence round the corner when DD was 4months old!) I'd love more, but don't think I would be allowed! Our grumpy old cat puts up with so much from DD, the ginger one avoids her at all costs! They are so funny!

Morning ladies. Quick hello while I get ready for work. Can't see any of your photos I'm afraid, as I can only MN on my phone atm. DH is away, so I was hoping I would have both the laptop and some free time last night so I could reply to everyone properly but DH had taken the laptop with him :0( Will have to keep imagining what you all look like!

Whywait what absolutely brilliant news about your DH coming round. I am really pleased for you it must be very exciting!

Morning all!!
I survived get another 5k last night [proud emoticon] and even managed to shower, change and go out for supper afterwards! Feeling bloody shattered today though as it was yet another late one and the lack of sleep is catching up with me!!!
have any of you ventured over to the AIBU commando thread? Bloody hilarious.......

Good morning all

in the past 5 i have watched 5/8 episodes of OBEM on 4OD... WOW (cant believe i had never watched it but i dont watch much TV)

watched 1 and a half of those with OH... he was fasicinated too, but it just confirmed to me that there is no way i want to go to hospital and i want a home birth for sure...
even discussed birth and what i wanted to happen (at home) with OH last night

JS well done on your 5k run. very very impressed

Have looked at all your (lovely) photos so its great to imagine who we are talking too and well done bebe at loosing all that weight
ill try and get a couple more of me up now.
i have learnt how to do it!!!!

im off to the market for some nice fresh local fruit veg and meat now, then off for my morning swim before taking new car to OH's work for him to show his staff, apparently they wanna see!!!

Hope you all have a good day

(oh and my clear blue fertility monitor arrived yesturday so am all set for 4 months time, have a feeling its gonna drag!!)

should say in the past day i have watched 5/8 OBEM

whywait what a beautiful photo!I can see it perfectly

Im so lucky cause i can talk to OH about anything at all, and he always listens and takes me seriously

Morning ladies,

Just checking in quickly as I am super busy at work today (and was yesterday as well).

Will have a look at your photos and add some of my own as soon as I get the chance!

It's interesting to hear what others have decided regarding caffeine. I think I will quit completely once I'm officially TTC and certainly while pregnant. I've been researching, and consuming caffeine can make it more difficult to conceive, cause low birth weight, and in some cases, even miscarriage. It seems many women continue to consume low amounts of caffeine throughout pregnancy, but to me, it's just not worth the risk.

As my life is so chaotic this month, though, there is no way I can come off caffeine until closer to TTC!

I hope everyone has a lovely day! xx
