Get Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 4

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

The thread where it does exactly what it says on the tin! We are all either actively TTC or preparing ourselves for TTC - come join us! Big thanks to confused for getting the last two threads going!

seven I would love to give up work to sew! I Learnt a few years ago with the intention of sewing for my future baby (literally my baby madness has been going on for that long!)

Just catching up on the day! Hope everyone's had a good one?

Grumpy, don't say sorry!! Your symptoms really do suggest something's going on... You can't imagine breast milk! Haha

MrsC, I'm exactly the same... One day being pg is all I can think about, the next I'm a lot more chilled!

I try not to look too much at baby stuff though... My other half (not married so not sure I qualify for DH usage?) told me off the other day because I wanted to browse in Mothercare. He said that it'll make it less exciting when we're shopping for real... Which makes sense, but still, I want to look now!!

Buzz I'll be pretty surprised too!

Seven no not at all! I just feel self conscious as this is my place to offload but there is a chance all the symptoms are meaningless! IYKWIM...

Don't worry Grumpy we're all obsessive here that's why we are such as great ttc family!
At least you are actively trying...I'm just hanging out, leaching off all of your symptoms and cycle insights, counting down the days until it's my turn!
This is the one place where we can offload. Our minds are so powerful, we would never judge you if they turn out not to be real symptoms. Last year I managed to convince myself I was pregnant whilst still having the mirena coil in. Took a light period and many, many tests to convince me otherwise. 🙈

wiggley I've seen many a placenta with a coil in situ!! Well.. not many but a few!

grumpy you're definitely having a fair amount of good symptoms so FX for a BFP!
Our bodies are so cruel at teasing us. I guess a lot of these symptoms are also coming off contraception and normal cycle symptoms. Typically. I could express drops of breast milk in cycle 2 🙄 Or drops of something anyway.

Booked painters and decorators for 4weeks time 😀 £1260 including paint 😑 Least it will be done!

mummy that's exciting!

Hehe buzz I was going to say: mummy that's horrendous... Then I saw your post and loled as I assumed you meant the placenta!

I have a pinterest board full of stuff I'm going to make for my baby...today's cat bed was good practice for a baby nest 😂!

Grumpy we are here for all the madness! :) I'm so hopeful for you, otherwise your symptoms are just cruel!!

Penguin I use oh instead of dh. We are married but dh means something different and more depressing to me!

I'm really jealous of all the sewers. I have no creative bones in my body!! :( I'll just have to sing lullabies to make up for lack of cute baby nest I've made!

Oh Grumpy don't apologise, this is just the arena for symptom spotting.. you can't have imagined all of yours!! I will be surprised if you get another BFN but if not this month then very soon (and its good you know that you can get pregnant so probably just a matter of time!)

Fertile week starts tomorrow. If we do eod then will have DTD 4 times across the fertile week.. do you think that will be enough? I just don't think we can do it every day and actually stops making it enjoyable and stresses me out. I think 4-5 a week is our limit!!!!

Jupiter I think it must be better if you're relaxed, not stressed and enjoying things! I was insanely lucky as was away for almost all fw, so dtd maybe twice depending when I ovd! Obviously overjoyed to catch so easily, but kinda sad I missed out on a cycle if dtd all the time! Think oh is sad about that too! ;)

Jupiter me and DH only managed it once this cycle... i dunno if you can remember he was throwing every excuse at me and then was away! And ov was late meaning the only other we dtd wasnt even in the window!!

Grumpy never feel sorry for what you put on here!!... i would rather listen to 100000 of your symptoms than have you feel alone!

Sorry DH upsets you Dancing... just a quick note... mothercare have a sale on that makes the Tommee Tipee stuff just as cheap as when i got it for the new stuff too! (I would say im gutted but how was i meant to know it was going to go back on sale!)

I bought some sleepsuits feom h&m today... i told DH although i know we should wait i wanted to carry on like we would if there was no issues

Also whoever was talking about prams i love the Cosatto Giggle 2 travel system... i have already picked which one dependant on boy or girl! Lol

Here's some squinting fun for anyone who fancies it ...yes I'm crazy I bought more and tested this evening. DD thought she could see something.

Omg i think i might do.... only because i know how different pics look from real life!!

The first picture... I think maybe... test again tomorrow morning?!

Confused, it doesn't upset me when other people use it!! :)

I will! I got excited for a moment but then it was less clear.

I'm chilling while DH is cooking which is nice. So glad it's the weekend! What is everyone up to?

I think I can see something in the middle pic??? Can't wait to see the morning!! Eek! All my fx!!

I'm also glad it's the weekend grumpy! Just been for cocktails with a friend and waiting for my train home. Got a bottle of water and picked up a hydrating face mask which I'm very excited about using! Going to pick up a Chinese on my way home too 🙈

I'm going to give crap excuses for not drinking at a typically heavy drinking evening tomorrow night!!

And football on tv!

Ive done a bit of faffing with one of the pics... i think there is something! In the inverted one you can see a slightly orange line!!

Oh Jesus FC!! Thanks confused !! And buzz and dancing

DH is babbling about beer brewing .. I'm laughing because I'm suddenly freaking out excited

Omg I think I see a whiff of a something there Grumpy!

confused I love love love the fabric on the Cosatto prams! dancing you can learn off YouTube. I learnt to sew and crochet 2 years ago and totally addicted now.

3yo nephew coming for a sleepover tomorrow night so just getting his room ready for him. Hard core Friday night...not!

I wouldn't be able to sleep if I was you grumpy!! Have you got more tests for the morning?

Buzz that sounds an ideal start to the weekend!i love skin pampering stuff. Enjoy!

Fuckity fuck fuck
Do I warn DH now or save it till morning
