Gah massively cross posted with my mammoth post that said it didn't post then did it twice!

Maybe you could go to bed at about 6pm 8pm Fan so morning comes quicker Wink my booms didn't start hurting until at least a week, 10 days after bfp. My first sign was weeing more often too xx

Whatevertheweather · 09/04/2012 16:13

fan no sore boobs, and I also waited to test on DPO15, which was CD31, and the day recommended by Fertility Friends...

AngelGeorgie · 09/04/2012 16:56

Fan my boobs never hurt. In fact I never had any signs or symptons with any of my pregnancies.
Hi Whatever mm..." peach" much nicer word than I would use for MIL!!!! Yes, Phebs has had a couple of " settling in" sessions at nursery. Last week I left her there for a hour & she was fine so gradually building up tomorrow is 5 hours, we'd : 6 hours, then Thurs & Fri 8 hours eek!!!! Work will be ok just lots of crap & internal politics but that's par for the course working for the NHS!!!!
Enjoy your chocolate & trashy tv xxx
Hope the house move went ok August?? xx
Spilt clever Freya... I worry Phebs is just too chilled ( lazy).. She's nearly sitting on her own but not interested in weaning , doesn t roll over!!! Maybe like mr she's just laid back!!! Xxx
Blizy congrats on your kitten. How cute??? Arh... Love them xxx
Too I vaguely remember the first day Ant returned to work panicking . I soon got in to a routine and ib fact I quite often prefer it when it's just me & Phebs. We can get out the house a lot quicker just the 2 of us...he forgets or looses everything!!!.
Well that's the end of my mat leave then!!!!
All of u on mat leave enjoy as it goes so quick.can t believe how quick 6 months has gone!!!!
Love to all xxxxx

fanjodisfunction · 09/04/2012 17:35

Oh Fan it is a scary time. We are all here holding your hand whatever the result xxx

spilttheteaagain · 09/04/2012 17:59

Busy thread today!

too hope MrToo has enjoyed his last day of pat leave. You'll be fine tomorrow. No need to get dressed or go out if it feels too much, but it does feel good to know you managed it all by yourself. Get him to leave you some sarnies in the fridge though - it took me ages to get the hang of getting myself some lunch and I was always ravenous!!

Glad you've had a good holiday wtw, and thank you for your comment about Freya, I always post tentatively because I know how close hers and Erin's birthdays are and wasn't sure how it affected you to read. Not long til your 20 week scan now is it? Enjoy those eggs... why does chocolate taste so good in egg form?!

angel remember Freya's a fair bit older than Phoebe, 40 weeks on 21st Aug. She only really sussed sitting about 3 weeks ago, everything is suddenly happening at the moment, a real mass of firsts. Fingers crossed sleeping more is soon on the cards! A good night is still 3-4 feeds between 11pm and 7am.

Well after spending most of today with calculators and spreadsheets at the ready we are going to make a final bid for the house tomorrow. I don't know if I want to be accepted or rejected What will be will be.

Good luck tomorrow fan!

blizy · 09/04/2012 18:45

Oh spilt- good luck with the house! So exciting!Grin

I have my kitten, he is adorable. We called him Alfie. I will get pics up later when I'm on the laptop.

Fan- I am so nervous for you, so I can only imagine how you must feel. Dh and I are wishing, hoping and praying this is it or you.

spilttheteaagain · 09/04/2012 18:46

aaw Alfie is a great name!

fanjodisfunction · 09/04/2012 18:46

blizy thank you. I've just seen alfie on fb, he's such a cutie.

OP posts:
Bluetinkerbell · 09/04/2012 18:51

you can't believe how lovely it is to be back on here :)

wtw yes we have told Ella already... DH thought it was a good idea to tell her and that she would be able to keep it secret... of course she told the childminder the day after and then when she went to toddler group in church she managed to tell everyone that mummy's baby in her belly was a secret... she is very happy and very caring for me... she hasn't really asked whether anything can go wrong this time.

blizy love your kitten! so cute! Enjoy they are so lovely when little! Our Zebedee is a very cuddly, loving cat...

angel lots of good luck for your first day back at work!

spilt you've got such a clever little girl! Well done Freya!

fan here to hold your hand all the way love! x

Mia I tested 12DPO with afternoon urine! :) My boobs did hurt though, I get symptoms very early on...

Too I don't think I have properly congratulated you with your lovely Maia!

August I know how stressful moving can be, take your time to settle in!

need some time to read back and get to know you!

AngelGeorgie · 09/04/2012 20:22

Thanks Blue xxx
Spilt thanks I do need to remember she's only 6 months old. Good luck on the house.
Blizy enjoy Alfie xxx
fan we re here. Just remember we ve been through it ... We can help as know how you re feeling. Working to 1 won't be in to 2 so I ll post ASAP. Xxx

Whatevertheweather · 09/04/2012 20:37

Oh squeee Blizy just seen the pics of Alfie on fb. Cuteness personified! He's like a poster kitten Grin

TooImmatureTurtleDoves · 09/04/2012 20:55

Blizy, Alfie is adorable! Ohh, I really want a kitten now. Do you think it's possible to teach a 7 year old whippet x Staffie that cats are friends not food?

Thanks Blue, she is the sweetest. I'm sure everyone thinks that about their babies! There's a pic on my profile if you want a peek. That's so cute about Ella telling everyone that it was a secret. Grin

Spilt, MrToo is currently ruining his last night fretting about having to go back to work Hmm. He's not happy there at the best of times and keeps trying to persuade me to let him take my maternity leave under that new scheme where either parent can take the statutory paid leave. I am standing firm - there is no way I'm going back to work until I absolutely have to! I bet there aren't many families using that scheme for fathers. I should have the dogwalker coming to take the dog for a nice long walk in the afternoon, which will get him off my hands and mean that I won't have to go out if I don't want to. It's so exciting about your house - I hope you get it!

Angel, hope tomorrow goes really well and the time passes quickly.

blizy · 09/04/2012 20:55

Angel- o hope your first day goes well.

Thanks for the comments about my fur baby! Love him already, he is snoozing on Dh's chest just now.Grin

Bluetinkerbell · 09/04/2012 21:31

Too she's gorgeous! :)

blizy Our Zeb is asleep on my legs at the moment, keeping me nice and warm!

fanjodisfunction · 10/04/2012 05:42

Fan- your news has made my day!!!!! So happy for you and Dh. GrinGrin

Cheese- can you please dream of me? Grin

Wee Alfie was food last night, he cried for about 20 mins then snuggled into his bed for the night. He has been purring like a machine since I got up though. Grin

TooImmatureTurtleDoves · 10/04/2012 06:55

Fan, how brilliant! That's wonderful! I love how early you were up and testing, too. Grin Congratulations to you and MrFan! See, the losing weight thing worked for you again.

Good luck today, Angel.

fanjodisfunction · 10/04/2012 07:03

Thank you ladies. blizy I so wish for you to be in the same position soon. All I've been thinking about this morning is you.

I'm so scared, I don't know what to do on so many counts, do I contine slimming world? What to do about work, especially as I have to be brought back into the office but I don't want anyone to know. My supervisor is off today and he's the only one I can talk to.
