Hopefully! Luckily I'm only in for a couple of hours because I have another scan Tuesday! Confused really scared! I've read too much about missed miscarriages and it terrifies me!

LuluJakey1 · 25/05/2014 09:00

Well, it is sunny up here today. Blazing blue sky already. Hurrah!

I hope your DH is nicer today Cupcake after his behaviour last night. Mr Consideration Smile . Tingly, restless legs can be sign of poor sleep.

Ducky Try not to worry. Easier said than done but try. Work is a good stress and will occupy your mind with other things to worry about than the scan. What kind of work do you do?

Tori Do you mind working weekends? I would quite like to have the time off during the week when things are quieter. As it is , we only get 35 mins for lunch and there are no banks or proper shops anywhere near where I work so I never get to an open bank or Post Office.

DH is feeling much better. Knee sore and black eye stunning but has had his painkillers. He thought he might manage a shag if I felt like doing all the work and he just lay there. I didn't feel like that at all so he is having some weetabix instead Grin

We are thinking a few walks up and down the street today on his crutches and his good leg. Living life on the edge in the north!

poppet85 · 25/05/2014 10:21

Me and dh went for date night last night which was lovely !but now Ive got a cold and feeling a bit rubbish ! A day pottering round the house and garden for me !

Ducky23 · 25/05/2014 10:29

Glad DH is feeling a little better. I am a benefit caseworker Confused

Got to go to mil in a bit Hmmfuck fuck fuck HmmHmmHmmHmm

LuluJakey1 · 25/05/2014 11:32

Poppet Date night sounds good. Just relax today.

We have been on our first crutches hop up and down the street. It was too far for him but he insisted. Is now exhausted on sofa with cup of tea.

I am making him some sandwiche and then going shopping.

Have a good day everyone.

Hi girls! Beautiful day here! I hope everyone's ok.
Luku, your posts always make me smile Grin

Cupcake and Ducky, sorry to hear about your DH's being rubbish! Heavy drinking scares me, too.
My sister's (horrendous) bloke drinks loads. I think he's a bit better than he used to be but when I first stayed at theirs when they'd just had their first baby together he got so pissed he fell down the stairs! I think he's a total cretin. She's got bipolar so he's classed as her carer because they live together and he spends all their benefits on booze and weed. My mum was really worried because my sis told her they had no money for food so she bought loads of food for them and took it over on 2 buses (she's 63 and has arthritis) and when she got there there was a massive stack of beers on the side!! I feel so bad for their 2 kids growing up in that situation.

Ducky, it must be so worrying for you after what happened with your DD Thanks I know it's really hard, but do you think if you tried to avoid reading negative/scary stuff it might help? Work will definitely take your mind off it. It's crazy to think how much stress we're all putting on ourselves ttc, and it's only the beginning!

I took two pg tests yesterday, both BPN although it's still v early. Right boob still hurting though and both boobs have grown a cup size in 2 days!!! Confused
Feel really guilty though because I went out last night and got REALLY drunk (I haven't done that since January!) My friend broke up with her (not-so-)DP so came to stay and I took her out to cheer her up but got a bit carried away.

Now really worried that if I am pg I've done some awful damage Confused also incredibly hungover. Eurgh.

lillamyy1 · 25/05/2014 14:36

lulu not luku Confused

lillamyy1 · 25/05/2014 14:38

Also had one really swollen tonsil since thursday.... could it be related to the boob?? Is it glands??? Body being so weird...

kitkatkaty87 · 25/05/2014 14:40

Hi girls, I've had a shit week. May be made redundant next week :( stressing me out :( also our bathroom and kitchen are currently being redone so living in a bit of a building site this weekend. Dh and I keep falling asleep on the sofa at night so don't get a chance to dtd :( haven't yet had a pos on opks either and now run out of them. Due to ovulate today or 2moro :(
Sorry moan over. Just had to get it out. Still trying to come of my anti d's - so this isn't helping. Buggering bum! What a week!

Ducky23 · 25/05/2014 14:59

Lil I alwaysss read the bad stuff Confused I can't help myself!

Don't worry about the drink, if you are pg baby probably wouldn't have connected to you properly yet.

I hate to say that before I found out i was pg with dd I got drunk, I was 8 weeks but didn't know Hmm I felt absoloultely awful when I found out Hmm

Kitkat sorry you has such a crap weekend Hmm really hope your job is ok and things pick up for you x

lillamyy1 · 25/05/2014 15:02

Thanks Aww kitkat, sorry to hear things are so stressful. Just try your best to dtd the next few days, whenever / wherever possible!!

kitkatkaty87 · 25/05/2014 15:20

Thanks guys :) don't worry about the booze Lil. I'm sure it's not done any damage as it's so early. It's not like you already know you're preg. Dreading work on Monday, I just want to know what's going on. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. X

Cupcake92 · 25/05/2014 17:55

Hey everyone :)
Hope ur all okay!

Sorry to hear about ur job Kitkat :( I hope things are look up for u!
N Lillamyy, don't worry about getting drunk! U don't know ur pregnant yet, and the day before I got my bfp I got so very very very drunk as I thought i wasn't pg! As got a bfn the day before I went out, but then the day after got my bfp. My doctor said it was fine as nothing can get into baby's blood stream yet so I shouldn't worry. He's 9 months now, all healthy and fine :) done worry.

As for me I've been having a big nap. I'm exhausted! I can't believe how tired I am today!

LuluJakey1 · 25/05/2014 18:50

Hi Cupcake , glad to hear you have had a long nap. Will do you good.Did you go swimming with DS? Has Mr Cupcake been in a better mood today?

I have spent the afternoon cleaning and gardening, having a bath and shavin my legs. I was going shopping but never went. Am just about to cook tea.

DH has overdone it and now his arms are aching with insisting on propelling himself up and down our, long, street on his crutches and one leg. Neighbour, elderly (who I stopped to chat to as DH propelled off on his own) asked me if he had been in a fight. I think it was the black eye. He looks quite scary. Infact if he had a parrot on his shoulder he would look like a pirate- beard, dark hair, crutches, black eye...... Grin

poppet85 · 25/05/2014 19:15

Hi lulu no swimming today as just been exhausted do instead had a Sunday lunch and me n DS had a big nap n DH started the packing :) he's been rather nice today!!

MrsPopple29 · 25/05/2014 22:06

I'm back! Absolutely exhausted and tucked up in bed already... Will catch up properly with thread tomorrow, hope everyone is ok and that I haven't missed too much (I know it's only been a couple of days but feels like the longest trip ever...)

Have been reading a book on my kindle called Trying to Conceive by Genevieve Morton. It's down to earth, informative and funny and has put my mind at ease a LOT! There's a whole chapter called 'Internet Angels' which sounds like you lot!

Night all x

I have been watching the ageing but still incredibly attractive Gabriel Byrne in Quirke.

Have also rescued a shrieking vole from the cat, who brought it into the kitchen and it ran into the toe of one of DH's shoes which were lying around there. I rescued it and took it to the bottom of the garden. Cats now in for the night much to their disgust.

DH would like a wash and hose down again in the shower before bed.

Boobs have definitely got bigger- mine not DH's!

lillamyy1 · 25/05/2014 23:17

Oh no lulu - poor vole! Was it ok in the end?
My boob is still hurting - why only one???!!!!

LuluJakey1 · 25/05/2014 23:47

The vole was fine. It ran off down the back of the shed quite happily. It was not hurt.

Hormones make boobs hurt. I often have one that hurts more than the other.

Am tucked up in bed with ipad and a squeaky clean DH after his shower. He has been grumbling because he can only lie on his back so no spoony cuddles.

MIL rang to sympathise with him earlier on about how awful it must all be for him. He loved it.

Cupcake92 · 26/05/2014 04:09

Welcome back popple! :)
That book sounds good! I might have to look into that.

I don't think I've ever felt this tired in my life. N DS has been awake since 3am due to a nightmare.
I went to bed literally just after DS n fell straight to sleep. I'm still so exhausted :( I could sleep all day I really could hahaa.
I'm desperate to test but I know it'll be bfn n I don't wanna see that! Come on Friday!!

Ducky23 · 26/05/2014 05:55

Morning insomnia hAs returned! Confused

Good luck for work kitkat, hood it's all ok

Cupcake92 · 26/05/2014 07:01

Oh no Ducky :( u should get a book or magazine and read in bed if u end up not being able to sleep. Ur body Is practising for when baby is born Grin

Oh yes good luck Kitkat!
