Wow 100!!!!!! :o The best Christmas present ever!!! What did your OH say? Congratulations! Fingers crossed it is a sticky bean! xx

Complete carnage in my living room this morning! DD loves her Dolls' House, I am so relieved! She hasn't really been bothered with anything else, but was mega excited by the mystical arrival of a large present & a full stocking by the fireplace this morning! Xmas Grin

Hope everyone has a lovely day! Xmas Smile

bebeinamanger · 25/12/2010 10:33

Oh also, 100, I found out on CD26 that I was PG with DD! This is such a lucky train! :)

100years · 25/12/2010 10:35

Thank you bebe. He's playing it very cool, as it's a faint line, and it's still before my period is due. So I think he is in protection mode. Will do a test again in a few days time. But he is pleased, I know, hence why he's in protection mode!

Glad your DD loves her dolls house. Xmas Smile

100years · 25/12/2010 10:35

Yay day 26 is obviously a GOOD day :)

100years · 25/12/2010 10:36

Sorry, another post.

Off out now, so good bye, catch you all later :)

AmandaCooper · 25/12/2010 11:45

My CD26 is new years day, so it seems like a lucky day to test.

Merry Xmas again to everyone Smile

AmandaCooper · 25/12/2010 12:44

I hope the luck continues!

100years · 25/12/2010 14:00

Thanks everyone :)

Was a first response one. I'll check the proper one when I'm home later when home.

Out with OH's family and just keep thinking about it and glancing at OH! Bit windy and mega hungry.

Omg I'm growing a person!!!!

AmandaCooper · 25/12/2010 14:25

I'm so jealous I keep thinking I wish it was me!

bebeinamanger · 25/12/2010 16:23

I wish it was me too! But am soooooooooooooooooo pleased for you 100! Xmas Grin

100years · 25/12/2010 16:32

That's ok. You are allowed to feel like that. I know I did plenty of times. Hugs x

AmandaCooper · 25/12/2010 21:34

Right everybody AF just rocked up, so it's CD1.

bebeinamanger · 25/12/2010 22:33

So what have you decided to do AC about TTC? Is this the beginning of your first cycle of TTC?

AF is due here Tuesday(ish)! Confused Still really hoping that a few late night, festive, heart to hearts might help convince DH! He was very gooey over DD smothering her littlest cousin with hugs & kisses earlier! :)

AmandaCooper · 25/12/2010 23:49

Well we'll have to see how we go but it certainly could be.

bebeinamanger · 26/12/2010 09:36

:) Yay, excited for you!

I think I may still be here when everyone else is waiting for their next baby too!

AmandaCooper · 26/12/2010 09:42

Things not looking positive with DH? I actually got DH to take a zinc supplement last night. He did make a real fuss though, pulling a face, complaining about the taste and moaning for ages afterwards that it had hurt his throat. Poor lamb!

What are your plans for today?

100years · 26/12/2010 10:24

Morning everyone. :)

How are we all?

Apparently my boobs are massive, OH kept saying it over and over last night! LOL They are big anyway but none the less they apparently are bigger! There will be no shimmying in this household for a while, movement hurts them. Thinking of sleeping in a bra!

Anyway enough about me. I hope you all have a good boxing day. Off to my family's house today :)

Bebe I hope the Christmas period has a softening effect on your DH.

AC good luck if you do decide to go for it this month.

Nannyl this is the test I used. I'm prob going to do another one in a few days, unless I actually start upchucking. Feel sick but not like I could be sick yet.

Please keep keeping those fingers crossed it's sticky.:)

And I totally understand the feeling of jealousy or envy, it's understandable, we are all in here for the same reason and I know what that I wish it was me feeling is like, doesn't mean you are any less happy, just that you want it yourself too. x

AmandaCooper · 26/12/2010 10:39

Now I am also jealous of your massive boobs ha ha! We are all really pleased for you 100years. It is a good sign that I am envious because recently I have been doing some dithering but now I'm wishing it was me with a LO in my tum!

bebeinamanger · 26/12/2010 16:52

AC - I've been getting DH to take zinc for months (to help his immune system!! Wink) and he complains every night that they are hard to swallow! Hmm They are tiny compared to some of the ones I take!!
We both know the issue of TTC is there but we are both skirting round the issue at the moment! Hmm TBH, we have had a lovely quiet xmas & I don't want to upset things by bringing it up & possibly arguing about it again! :( [wimp emoticon]

100 - I never got sore boobs once when PG, very odd! Xmas Confused Most people I know say it was the first symptom they got!

Having a lovely chilled Boxing day even if MIL did come & bring 8....yes, 8...soft toys for DD!

AmandaCooper · 26/12/2010 20:42

I know these are tiny as well! Any tips for getting him to take them? Maybe I can roll one up in a bit of meat, or stick it inside a jam sandwich or something.

I don't blame you for the [wimp] emoticon, I'm sick to death of DH dashing my hopes. The plan for this month is to say "of course it's a safe time" when it's blatantly not.

bebeinamanger · 26/12/2010 23:22

I think I might try the 'can we just not use protection & see what happens' line of attack! Try & persaude him to let fate decide!! Xmas Hmm

100years · 27/12/2010 08:53

Did 2 more tests this morning. One was a Tesco one and the other one was the second First Response one. That's 3 positive tests now.

OMG my wind last night was awful, Xmas Shock but some of it didn't actually come out, my stomach just made loads of loud wind noises while we were sat quietly playing cards! Ooops, it looked like I had farted but I had to explain it was inside me. My Grandad at one point said "are you sure you want kids" because my nieces were playing up a little at bed time, I so wanted to say, well funny you should say that... but I didn't. I shan't be saying anything for a few weeks to them.

AC I wouldn't be jealous, I obviously had loads of people to hug yesterday and had cuddles from both of my nieces, I can tell you I hope people couldn't read my face.

bebe, fingers still crossed for you.

I got a turbo trainer for the bike, so I can cycle indoors :) Much much safer in this weather, and if sparkly bean sticks then I might not want to cycle much outside either! But I need to do the exercise.

AmandaCooper · 27/12/2010 12:33

Erm I should perhaps explain for the benefit of anyone new to the thread that the "of course it's a safe time" approach has been specifically requested by DH, who is petrified of the whole business.

I was a bit wary of taking the "blame" for the decision - but a wise woman pointed out that when LO was screaming his lungs out at 3am for the tenth night in a row, having children would be all my idea however we had approached the decision!
