Old thread here

Welcome aboard, make yourselves comfy I have a feeling it's going to be a bumpy ride! Wink

JBells- not sure quite how these things work, but have you got a EPAU that you could call/see? Sort of self refer?

JS - Sorry you had an argument with your DH :( Hope things are ok now, life gets a bit too much sometimes doesn't it?!

So dinner on the train....
Starter - Spinach & Smoked salmon roulade
Followed by a pallette cleansing Pink Champagne Sorbet
Main course - Bacon stuffed chicken breast in a white wine sauce with baby new potatoes & steamed green vegetables
Dessert - Chocolate Souffle with vanilla cream

Dinner will be served promptly at 7.30pm (after my DD is in bed Wink)

Just remembered the other thing I was going to say...
One of DHs friends had a baby boy yesterday, and called him.... Logan
Angry I don't know her, we can still use the name right? DH isn't convinced, thinks it'll seem like we copied her, and it's not like I'm even pregnant. Just feel a bit miffed! After we had our name talk the other day & made the choice, and after all the backwards and forwards & arguing over DDs name! Suppose I might have a girl, then it won't matter!

Spoke to DH about the name thing & he agrees now that it would only be a 'problem' if it was family! Phew, didn't fancy going back to the drawing board...even if I'm not actually pregnant!! :o

WW - how exciting!! Are you going to wait until you are late before testing? Or are you tempted to do it at the weekend?

hey ladies

BEBE- dinner sounds lovely wish i cud really have dinner at yours lol, also i dont know wot EPAU is Confused i think u shud still be able to have logan, i think i like jaxson for a boy

WHYWAIT- i had back lower back pains for a while 2 weeks b4 my period was due thinking back must have been implantation pains, but didnt realise it at time, then boobs seemed to swell a bit, felt xtrememly emotional and really angry a lot of the time and i know i was like that last time i was pregnant, also felt like i had water infection and needed to pee lots, and a bit dizzy and nauseus, and just a general feeling that i was kn ow that sounds odd

JS- i do not have a good track record with the nhs they always seem to mess up with me

JustShaggingForNow · 22/09/2010 14:28

bebe supper sounds lovely. Am just off to have my hair set and change into my flapper dress Smile

I think you are fine on calling your DS Logan. Think of all the Henry, Harry, sam and Ben's out there!!

My fave names vary from day to day. I have a a list of 20 for each and I am sure that list will grow over the next 18 months!! (Shock that is quite a long time to wait isn't it. I never though of it in that way!!!) God knows how we are going to chose, our eventual DD or DS will have to have a few middle names!!!

whywait sending positive vibes on your 2WW..... it seems that the train has magical powers so it wouldn't be unheard of for you to get your BFP!!

Totally over the argument with DH - we are both very good at forgiving and forgetting on that front and both know that we were being tired, emotional and completely irrational. (I am lucky to have a DH that admits to things like that!!!)

So bored at work today. BFH (boss form hell)is refusing to do the work I am chasing him on and is already 2 days over his deadline.... Angry not going to hassle him any more as if he doesn't do it it's on his head and not mine!

bebejones · 22/09/2010 14:30

JBells - EPAU/EPU = Early Pregnancy Assesment Unit

OP posts:
jbells · 22/09/2010 14:35

oh im not sure to be honest

wot do u think of the names jaxson, lucas, jaden? marcus unsure of that one

bebejones · 22/09/2010 14:39

JBells - I like Lucas & Marcus off the list, think I'd go for Jackson rather than Jaxson

OP posts:
bebejones · 22/09/2010 14:42

Try searching for an EPU here

OP posts:
jbells · 22/09/2010 14:43

hmmm year actually i like jackson spelt like that, at the mo lucas and marcus are my fave, im trying not to think of girls names as i want a boy this time round, but i like summer rose for a girl

jbells · 22/09/2010 14:47

just checked there are to epu's close to me :) just need to wait for dr to refer me now

bebejones · 22/09/2010 16:44

Whywait that sounds positive - it would be hilarious if we all fell pg on this thread! I've got at least a 5% chance this month! No symptoms though.

Bebe that's great news about your meds and although your DH is obviously having a bad time generally it's a good sign that he's talking about names. My DH actually sat and researched names last night shouting out suggestions to me while I made the tea!

On the subject of names I agree on the Jackson/Jaxson thing it would be infuriating to have to constantly correct people and spell your name out.

Bebe you should definitely stick with Logan if you both like it. It's far too far removed to ever be a problem.

AmandaCooper · 22/09/2010 18:07

Just shagging aren't you saving any names for future DC?

bebejones · 22/09/2010 18:17

Definitely sticking with the name! Although seeing as we have it already decided we will probably have another girl!

DH worked from home today so was here when the nurse called, so have had lots of rolling of eyes & grunting noises from DH when I told him why she had rang! Hmm

AC - did your DH suggest anything viable?

WW - bet the not knowing is horrid, never had that with DD & not really looking forward to it next time!

OP posts:
jbells · 22/09/2010 19:21

evening all, well work was xtremely boring today but not as awful as usual thankfully

BEBE- good news that the nurse finall got back to u :) u can finally get the ball rolling :o boo to the rolling eyes hate it when they look at u like that

WHYWAIT- i also thought it was cystitus coming and sed to my mum that i was getting pains in my lower back and that it cud be my kidneys and that i wud go the drs and get checked but it never got worse and i didnt get stinging wee sorry TMI, also i have only just started gettin sore boobs now at 7 weeks, whereas last time i had them from bout 4 weeks, so it can vary, also i kept getting period pains everyday and wud be convinced that my period was coming but obv never came, fingers crossed for u :)

JS- glad everyting was forgiven and forgotten with DP i am like that but my DP sulks and holds grudges which really bugs me :(

AC- it is annoying when everyone spells your name wrong i have to always correct people on my first and second name and my DD's name is always spelt wrong to as its an unusual name, maybe i shudnt make life difficult for them hehe

nannyl · 22/09/2010 19:24

hmm
im SURE i posted on here but it doenst seem to be here?

anyway hello everyone.... Im now back and 30 years old AGHHH.!!!!
thanks for all my birthday messages from last thread Smile

Sorry not been on here for a while, as well as celebraring my birthday 3 days in a row my daddy has been really quite poorly and i havent been brave enough to be able to 'type' it without getting upset, so i have been reading your threads and trying to keep up!
JBells congratulations on your BFP... how exciting. agree you should be pur tran driver!

WW how exciitng about your 2ww (though i found it terrifying, but then didnt want to be pg!

bebe very pleased to hear (on last thread) that you and DH have been discussing baby names... now that is exciting and another big step forward!

JS good luck with your interview, sounds like your boss is horrid so lets hope you can get out asap!

hope everyone else is well.

i might not be back for a few days as im down south for wedding number 1 this weekend, but i will be back and am looking forward to this very exciting train journey!

jbells · 22/09/2010 19:27

nannyl like your countdown :o

glad u had a really nice extended birthday but sorry that your dad is poorly, i hope it improves, i am quite happy to be the train driver as long as i can come out for BEBES meals at dinner lol

Quodlibet · 22/09/2010 20:53

Bebe I SO wish I was having your Train Dinner and not my frozen pizza!

Seconding the anti-depressants sentiment that JS expressed, we have a lot of depression in my family and no stigma about getting medicated! I know that sometimes a medication kickstart can make a real improvement, it's no different to you keeping your MS in check when you need to. If he's been to the doctor then he's already done the hard bit.

Nannyl sorry to hear about your dad too, hope he gets better soon.

Can we have one of those bar/cafe carriages on our train that you get in the TGV so we can sit on bar stools and drink champagne or espressos whilst looking at the delightful scenery rolling past?

bebejones · 23/09/2010 08:13

I tried to get back to 'serve dinner' last night but MN wasn't working Hmm Angry

I'll be back in a bit, DD is shouting for me to go & get her up!! Late one today, hoorah! :o

Morning morning!!

Hope that you all slept well in your luxury cabins last night. Your butlers (I took the liberty of cloning Jake Gyllenhaal and George Clooney numerous times for the trip) will be in to serve you a delicious grilled English Breakfast so please put in your egg orders (fertilized poached or non scrambled)

Today we will be stopping off in the village of evilpregfoods for lunch where we will be sampling a delicious brie, rare steak, cocktails galore and various other treats. Appologies to jbells and whywait who are driving the train today. However I believe that our next stop is at the EPU :) Does anybody have a timetable for the rest of our stops this month??

Welcome onto the train Nannyl - I am very pleased to hear that you had a fab week of birthday celebrations but sad to hear that your father isn't very well at the moment. Sending hugs and cocktails to you.

bebe very pleased to hear that you chatted to your MS nurse. Silly DH rolling his eyes at you Biscuit

bebejones · 23/09/2010 09:10

Morning my lovelies! :)

Friday we shall be stopping at the piqturesque village of Lastjab :o

Quod we definately have one of those carriages on here Wink

Nannyl - was wondering where you were! Glad you had a good birthday, but :( that your dad is poorly

JBells - People also spell my name wrong regularly & I'm always spelling it for people, and I also get called something completely different quite regularly because people don't look at it properly when it's written down! Hmm It is very annoying, but I'm kind of used to it now!
