It's so nice to see it on a digital!

I had my call from the docs. Preg all confirmed by blood test. Good viability and we can book our first scan in four weeks to see Parsnips. Think there's only one in there but they will confirm at scan. 😀

Omg yay mummy congratulations!!!! I can't believe how many bfps there have been this week!!!

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11g-CyD0tTF5KfWTvpFPnF5m_f4nUF_azruUvkwCreXM/edit?usp=sharing

I found MrsC's beautiful list so everyone can update!!

Mummyme87 · 07/05/2017 07:51

jupiter my Oh is nortoriously unexcitable...I will also be interested! With DS there was no excitement as he was unplanned and it was all a shock. Excitement came a few weeks later.

parsnips great news bloods have come back positive 😊

Seven0fNine · 07/05/2017 07:52

Hb please post your strawberry daiquiri recipe.. They are my fav....as it's Mexican food!!!

HeyJupiter · 07/05/2017 07:53

Yay well done seven might be you next :)

Fab news parsnips, lovely for it to feel official :) All the scans and blood work must be so reassuring.

HeyJupiter · 07/05/2017 07:55

mummy my DH is a bit the same. He's only really got excited since our early scan. Really am so thrilled for you. A January baby will be fab, a lovely late Christmas present x

Mummyme87 · 07/05/2017 07:58

grumpy sorry I just read back about your sisters friend. That's really scary 😟 Hopefully have some better news today.

I found the spreadsheet on my phone. I downloaded 'sheets' and its saved the spreadsheet 🤔

Mummyme87 · 07/05/2017 07:59

jupiter most importantly I get Christmas off 😂😀

HeyJupiter · 07/05/2017 08:06

mummy, having Christmas off is a definite bonus Grin You have appeared under humped on the list when I open it so it's definitely worked.

Seven0fNine · 07/05/2017 08:08

I hope so, we were so tired last night but DH made extra effort to hump me 😂 the opks did arrive yesterday but just a light line not positive. But that may already of happened! Who knows!

We were talking about baby names again last night. We love Maggie for a girl but the only boys name I really like is Hector but we shorten names all the time so I don't want to be calling my kid Hec.... Lol 😂

Penguin27 · 07/05/2017 08:19

Ahhh mummy that's so exciting!! Congratulations! Grin

Mummyme87 · 07/05/2017 08:23

Just remembered this was my Brooklyn baby 😂
Looking rather cloudy and overcast this way, apparently no rain forecast though. I'm still really flagging from my shift on Friday night.. it was so busy, I had been awake from 5.45am on the Friday as well, no break, left 40mins late and only had 4hrs sleep yesterday 😴

DancingUnicorn · 07/05/2017 08:32

Oh mummy you must be exhausted! And baby Brooklyn!!! :)

TheGrumpySquirrel · 07/05/2017 08:39

Mummy I am so freaking happy for you!!!! You've waited so many months for this! Hope telling OH goes well ☺️

3 BFP this week right? Amazing lucky thread 🍀

Thanks for the kind words re sisters friend. I'm not meant to tell anyone so it's helpful to be able to post on here. I'm glad I've always been too much of a hypochondriac to touch drugs!

HbH · 07/05/2017 08:39

Aw just seen you on sheets mummy can't believe we're onto 2018 babies! You're entitled to a big nap today now it's official! Send the boys out on an adventure!

Of course seven will sort the daq recipe out for you! Boys names are so hard!

My DH is more excitable than me right now!! Just want to get to the scan & know things are cool! 😎

TheGrumpySquirrel · 07/05/2017 08:40

Ahh mummy we can shop for baby things together!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 07/05/2017 08:41

Hb remind me when's your scan x

HbH · 07/05/2017 08:41

dancing hope AF is on it's way out & not too painful now x

HbH · 07/05/2017 08:42

Grumpy on mon 22nd.... can't wait to hit TK Maxx, they're so good for quirky baby bits... yours are so cute

TheGrumpySquirrel · 07/05/2017 08:51

Hb mine is on 26th, yay. I'm 9 weeks today and have a pecan nut!

Mummyme87 · 07/05/2017 08:56

Very exciting with scan dates on the horizon.

I found Polarn O Pyret do fab clothes, a lot of very unisex stuff particularly for babies. Expensive but good quality and stretch. DS was 10lb 5oz and he fit in their 0-1m vest for 3months

HbH · 07/05/2017 08:59

I've got a kumquat!! & the hand size is more than a dot now which is cute!

I've had some short sharp pains yesterday and today, hopefully just a bit more stretching out!

I've got a profiterole! I like the Parisian bakery theme on Ovia Grin

Mummyme87 · 07/05/2017 09:12

I've just moved to Ovia pregnancy. We are the size of fleur de sel... a grain of salt used in salted caramel sweets 😂 I must stop getting so excited it's so early 😣 But yes to baby clothes shopping grumpy

buzzmoon · 07/05/2017 09:29

YES!!! Baby Brooklyn!!!! I'm so happy!! mummy so happy for you! What does the top say for your DS? Can't wait to hear dhs reaction!! Never heard of that clothes place but deffo going to check it out! Might go to TK Maxx on Tuesday after scan!

jupiter so proud of you staying out! Well done you! We had people over yesterday and I stayed up till 10:30! Can you believe it!

Keith's the size of an apricot, but I much prefer the sound of a profiterole! Might change the settings!

Eek just so exciting! 3 bfps in one week! Well done guys, team effort 😏

grumpy really sorry to hear about your sisters friend, I really hope she's okay ❤️
