Ooh yes, Maybe you've gone suspiciously quiet (she's probably SWI)

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 19/08/2011 20:49

I love Frazzle for Jen!! Doozer sounds perfect for Dream's little one perhaps? I'm embracing the Squeak as well for mine.

My Mum was round this afternoon, and she couldn't resist talking about names (although it's all purely hypothetical of course because it's waaaaaaaaaaay too early to even be thinking about anything that serious!) Luckily she agrees with most of the ones I like! So now I have support to coerce DH round to my way of thinking (miles and miles in the future when such talk becomes acceptable!)

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 19/08/2011 20:52

Sorry I keep crossing posts with people talking about names! Doozer also sounds good for Jen of course!

dreamfeeder · 19/08/2011 21:00

Ha! Mine can be nightmare, i'm sure it will be if my last pregnancy is anything to go by!!!!! 8 months of purgatory/pregnancy hell to look forward to!!!

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 21:33

hello, what are you going to call mine then?

yeah, Sunday at earliest for digital test.

ok i confess i got yet another cheapie out after work. my pale pink line appeared quite fast. these cheapies can't take all the brooking no argument. hope the other 20 are of a similar nature to the first 5...

dreamfeeder · 19/08/2011 21:44

thistlet!?

SO upduffed jaggy, stop trying to catch your cheapies out- they know you're Brooking No Argument Grin

jaggythistle · 19/08/2011 21:50

thistlet is too hard to say with baby brain.

maybe a one syllable option. spike?

dreamfeeder · 19/08/2011 21:51

spike is PERFECT, love it!! had't tried saying thistlet, lol

jaggythistle · 20/08/2011 07:04

when exactly am i going to say thistlet anyway? only in my head while posting!

6 tests down 19 to go. Blush

maybe after the CBD tomorrow (or Monday if i chicken out) i can give it a rest. line still there though.
morning all! off to work soon. :(

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 20/08/2011 07:46

Morning preggos! For all of you in the first week of your pregnancies I hope you're looking forward to getting down to your last set of SWI for over a year! After this month it'll only be SFF (in between sessions with your glittery buckets of course!)

This morning an internet cheapy actually gave me a faint line that's visible without having to squint for ten mins under a high powered spotlight on a brilliant white background! So exciting!! I think the Internet cheapies might be coming round! I hope little Squeak is putting in some serious time brooking no argument!

Cake is there any chance you decided to confirm early? I'm not suggesting
anything, of course not, ahem, just asking!

Congrats to Jaggy on yet another example of superb pee stick mastery. Congrats to anyone else who has also re-confirmed today!

Biscuitsandtea · 20/08/2011 07:47

Good job on the brooking Jaggy and Spike/Thistlet.

Is Scream testing again thus morning?

We're off to London today on the train - very exciting (for DS and tiring for us...) Smile

Hope everyone else is good Smile

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 20/08/2011 07:49

p.s. LOVE "Spike"!

Biscuitsandtea · 20/08/2011 07:49

Ah cross post Scream

Good job brooking for you and Squeak too!

GrinGrin

Good luck to anyone else if they might decide to test today.... (not looking at Cake or anything....)

Imps7 · 20/08/2011 07:52

Morning rat smackers!

Temp is much higher this morning so I think I did OV on Thursday but just had a slow rising temp.

I'm going to be offline until Monday as am away for the weekend. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a new thread going by then!

Good luck with the testing Cake anyone who's testing!

ScreamIfYouWantToGoFaster · 20/08/2011 07:55

Ooooo Biscuits you're coming over to my neck of the woods!?! Lovely! I hope you have a wonderful time!

Imps7 · 20/08/2011 08:00

Ooh, sorry, totally missed this morning's posts - very pleased the internet cheapy is playing ball Scream! Now, Squeak, just get stuck in and stay there. Do you here me?

Have a lovely trip to London Biscuits!

BabySade · 20/08/2011 08:36

Congratulations!!!!!!!! Jaggy and Scream am so chuffed Grin
This is a flying visit for me, have just got home & am off to bed. Have had a rubbish few nights at work, so much so I didn't even get chance to check in with you guys yesterday. Can only sleep for 4 hours as am at a hen do later that I've organised. So not looking forward to it. Catch you Preggos later

CakePigeon · 20/08/2011 09:06

Glad the pee sticks are behaving jaggy and scream

biscuits and imps hope you both have lovely weekends away! Hope you have a good time on the hen do babySade

I am staying strong and not testing just yet - sorry to be boring! I am a bit scared of BFNs, usually I have a little cry over my temp dip and then I'm prepared for AF but this month as I haven't been charting it is all a surprise! But of course that's all hypothetical as I AM pregnant Grin

dreamfeeder · 20/08/2011 09:06

oh good skills with the pee sticks jaggy and scream

now farfalla, i really do think i could rival you for worlds grumpiest DH- he accidentally discovered my other positive pee stick yesterday (was home earlier than expected Shock). Instead of being nice i got - oh for goodness sake thats so ridiculous (!), so i said it was for reassurance, cramps and all, and he said well anyway, if the cramps hadn't been cramps and had been a mc the pee stick stays positive for days and sometimes a couple of weeks and negative test = end of mc can try again. Comforting? I think not. What a meanie!!!!!

hello babysade, what a hectic week you have. You poor thing to have to go so sleep deprived to a hen party and prove yourself to have loads of un... hope its better than you think Grin

dreamfeeder · 20/08/2011 09:12

I think thats a good call cake, no messing about with BFN's. Not that there will be.

and that was meant to be fun babysade and i do hope it is!!

Happy weekending biscuits and imps

scarletfingernail · 20/08/2011 09:41

Congrats jaggy and scream on confirming your BFPs yet again Grin

I have also confirmed mine again today. My internet cheapies have never shown anything more than a very faint line. I was delighted this morning after peeing on a FR and the preggo line came up immediately and was even stronger than the control line.

So, I am going to give the testing a rest now Hmm as my very tender and already growing boobs are telling me that yes I am definitely still upduffed.

dreamfeeder · 20/08/2011 10:07

why oh why won't my boobs grow?! Ever!? Despite still feeding 2-3 times a day/night I am back to minute (maybe a B? still wearing my D nursing bras anyway!) As my step sister once said was i was 14 and nothing has changed since- 2 Aspirin on an ironing board. I got to a massive (!) C cup when pg with DD, and a D when BF. and back to normal now already.... At least when my milk came in I was an E for a week or so- the pinnacle of my boob achievement...

Whereas my symptoms remain- weeing in the night (dd slept through though, hooray!), mild nausea (so far...), tiredness. Great Hmm And i'm at my thinnest now, so hoping don't get the puking like last time as I dumped half a stone in my first trimester faster than you could say 'chuck up your grub'.... lol

scarletfingernail · 20/08/2011 10:25

dream I'm another one with teeny boobs. They only went up 1 cupsize with DS and they probably won't do anything more than that this time too. They just hurt, which I know is a good sign.

I'm also peeing in the night and lots more throughout the day. I'm tired, but I generally am anyway. When I was pg with DS I was not sick once and I am keeping everything crossed this will be the same as I am emetophobic. I had a dizzy spell on Thursday but it passed quickly.

DH got up with DS this morning and then brought me a cup of tea in bed and made me a bacon sarnie. I think he's as nervous about the next few weeks as I am and he's really trying hard to make things nice for me. I shouldn't think it will last so I'm making the most of it.

CakePigeon · 20/08/2011 10:45

Me too! I am also part of the tiny boobs brigade! We are only ttc our first so I haven't been pregnant before and I had high hopes of huge milky breasts Grin shame it sounds like that won't be the case!

Solars · 20/08/2011 10:50

Oh my GOODNESS!!!!! Congratulations DREAM, SCREAM & JAGGY This thread is truly magical, I can't believe i've been offline for a few days and come back to this!!!!!(it's almost taken me 2 hours to catch up on the thread!!)
