Juanitad I just went around clutching a glass of wine and swapping it with DH's glass. It fooled quite a few people for a long time! A friend of mine has adult acne and her skin is fantastic now, she had her second baby about 4 and 1/2 months ago, but it was bad until she was about 10-12 weeks.

Ceebee strange news about af, If it doesn't come back soon will you test again?

HC LOL about opk's are you sure you are going to have enough for next month!! Mine are still sitting in the drawer!

oooh we have an Eve (who is also an Evie-at school she has taken to spelling it Evie rather than Eve). I really liked Isaac when we found out DS was a boy but DH, who is a complete atheist, wouldn't go for another biblical name. Noah was out as well which I also really like. So we have a Milo instead.

Juanitad I really notice my skin is rubbish in early pregnancy, but fingers crossed in a few months you will be glowing.

We all did the Sport Relief mile earlier which was great fun. DS loved it.

majormoo · 16/03/2008 16:30

Juanitad, I used to also wander around with the same glass of wine for hours when expecting DD. And also swapped glasses with DH who on a few occasions was very much worse for wear by the end of the evening.

Bellie · 16/03/2008 16:37

Hi all - my you have been chatty. We have just got back in from a wonderful day out. We took dd to see Angelina Ballerina (the English National Ballet). I have never seen her so mesmorised for so long. Very expensive but worth every penny to see her face

I love all the traditional names and will be chosing from the many mentioned if we have our 2nd. I think they are all making a comeback and tbh I love it!!

Juanitad - that the test showed the same!

Ceebee - are you going to test again?

Soosy - my tests are after my af finishes (so very early in the cycle) to see if the lining is still thick at this point. On cd 20 today - so fingers crossed we don't have to go back for the tests, but for an early scan instead!!

majormoo - well done for doing the mile today - I bet ds had a ball!

Willmouse - have you heard back from your friend re the kitten yet? I think the name sounds lovely!

Wave to everyone else hope you are all having a great weekend -dispite the weather!!

LOL BB as esp true in our case! I hope you feeling better soon, sounds yukky.

Majormoo, really impressed with you doing mile today well done .

Bellie hope you get a BFP instead of tests too.

Have a good evening.

I am loving the talk of baby names and there are som lovely choices. I am not even thinking baby names right now, it is a minefield. I did have the name Ethan pop into my head though Mjim, so I quite like that, lol!

Juanitad, I'm glad you are feeling good now, I do hope it lasts and don't want to scare you, but symptoms for morning sickness usually start at 6 to 7 weeks. I am feeling slightly green around the gills today, but it probaly isn't helped by my headache. Oh, and my skin is atrocious!

I shall be taking my ds2 to the GP tomorrow as I think he may have another UTI (he had a couple as a baby). He has suddenly started having accidents everyday afer being day trained for a few months. Plus last night he was literally rolling around on the floor with tummy pain. It was heartwrenching to watch, he cried, writhed and the sweat was pooring off him even though he had/s no temp. Poor little poppet. Thankfully he has been ok today apart from 2 accidents.

MrsPuddleduck · 17/03/2008 11:43

Morning all.

Definitely getting the kitten. We have told DS1 now so there is no going back! I even caught DH sneakily reading the kitten book I borrowed from the library yesterday!

MJIM - my favourite name is Tristan, but I do like Declan as well and absolutley love Caitlin. I love talking about baby names. My boys are William Edward and Oliver Harry and should we have another he will be Henry John, I have given up hope of having a girl (although I like Isobella, Emily, Francesca and Charlotte). I like posh names, can you tell?

It looks like the cat is going to be Eddie. I wanted to call him Rocky but DH isn't keen. I would like to call him Louis as it is my favourite boys name of all time (but sadly doesn't go with our surname).

HC - Marmalade lookes lovely.

I am dreading telling my Mum about the cat she will go mad. She hates them and my Dad is allergic.

Just checking in ladies. My internet connection seems so slow and it has taken all morning to load this page. Hope it posts.

Hello all

Hope everyone had good weekends?

Juanitad, CONGRATS!! . That is so exciting!! And the antibiotics excuse is genius ...

Willmouse, so cool you are getting a kitten! But no-one looked at my link I posted on Friday ... I thought it was really funny (but maybe you have to have a cat already to appreciate it!)

Ceebee, sorry about your bleeding. Not sure what is going on!

Carolyn, I am on CD 22 (you start from the first day of your last period, right?). I was also thinking of testing on Friday! I think we are in similar situations, I have just come off the pill and done one cycle (28 days, although I'm not sure how reflective that is of anything, was on the pill for 15 years). Are you still BD?

Hi to everyone else! I love talking about baby names too. My favourtite for a boy is Oliver or Toby, and Charlotte or Tabitha for a girl. I also love the name Harry although our cat is called that (was called it already when I got him as a 1 year old) and DP reckons it might get confusing .. !

HM2J ? poor poor DS ? how awful for him. What did the docs say? I cannot imagine how awful it must have been watching in agony

Willmouse ? great news about the kitten ? you must post a photo at the earliest opportunity.

No news here ? still no AF I did a test again on Saturday (I seem to have become addicted to them!) and twas a BFN again but am thinking that if Friday was an implantation bleed then how many days after
would a BFP show up? Although I am trying not to think along those lines ? unless some other obvious symptoms suddenly appear, I think I will really try not to test (haha!)

Just taken DS to soft play ? it is expensive this entertaining a toddler business isn?t it??

HM2J, sorry, I hope your DS is okay. You must think I'm very rude! Just not very good at responding to everyone (who says women are the ones who can multi-task?!).

Ceebee, we have some friends who have a son and took him to soft play for the first time the other day, I think they were more excited than he was!

Lol Angel - the novelty soon wears off after you have been down the slide with them for the fifth time

MrsPuddleduck · 17/03/2008 13:38

Angel, I did see your post and went on to youtube and had a good look around. I found the cartoon "The cat came back" which I remember from childhood and it really made me laugh. I also like the one of the cat waking its owner up with a baseball bat.

I do read all of the posts but by the time I have not been on all weekend it is difficult to reply to each one!

It is difficult now that there are so many of us!

Angel2008 · 17/03/2008 13:41

Sorry it was meant to be the Mean Kitty song! Not that I am demanding you look at my links!

MrsPuddleduck · 17/03/2008 13:47

It was the mean kitty song Angel (you are right about the chap - he could give the Aero man a run for his money!) - sorry if I wasn't clear but it was the first time I had ever found myself on youtube so had a good look around while I was there!

Angel2008 · 17/03/2008 13:52

Ah - I see! I've seen the one with the baseball bat before aswell - brilliant!

So when are you getting your kitten, how old does it have to be before you can take it? I'm going to try and post a picture of my cat in my profile . Hope I don't sound like one of those women who is going to grow old by herself with nothing but her 50 cats for company, going around smelling of wee ..

MrsPuddleduck · 17/03/2008 14:24

Kitten was 3 weeks old on Friday so it will be about 4 1/2 weeks before we get him. He is 8 weeks on Friday 18th April but we have a houseful on the Saturday so I will probably wait until 19th when all is quiet (well quiet as it can be!). Can't wait .

Heartmum2Jamie · 17/03/2008 14:53

DS has been fine yesterday and today. When I called the GP they said he would have to do a urine sample and gave me some bottles, but as specimens are collected by the courier at 10.30am, I missed out today, so will take him tomorrow, although he yet to have an accident today? Maybe I am reading too much into things!

Yay for your kitten willmouse! I bet you will all love him.

Ceebee, Sorry to hear AF is messing you about. Grrrr!

sorry if I miss anyone but will try my best!

HM2J - Hope your ds is better today. That sounded horrifying and I would have panicked I'm sure.

ceebee - maybe you should test on friday with me and angel??? BFP buddies?? It all sounds a bit odd tbh

willmouse - bet you're excited about kitty! Kids and pets hey, that's going to be a full house!

BB - LOL at the BDing comments. It seems it affects the best of us hey! Good luck anyway

Angel - yes we are remarkably similar! (secretly wondering if you are actually my DP in disguise!!!! scary thought!!!)This is cycle 2. Stopped pill in Jan and had 31 day cycle so theoretically AF due on Sunday. Will definetly test Friday before going to Prague (if I can wait that long!!!!) Do you think you will get a BFP??? I hope one of us does (at least!)

Bellie, Majormoo, HC and soosy - hiya! Hope you are all OK

carolyn1941 · 17/03/2008 17:12

sorry MJIM - whoops! How is ds? Maybe you could get a nap while he does?? How's th morning sickness?

juanitad · 17/03/2008 17:50

Hi everyone,

Work today was strange. Everything was just so normal, but in my mind I felt so different!! It's a pain not being able to say anything, but obviously it's not worth it yet. A colleague in my department wanted to talk about what foreign trips we would be organising for next year (I am a languages teacher, and I usually take 2 trips abroad each academic year), and I've ended up agreeing to organise a visit to Paris next summer!! If all goes according to plan then by then I'll have a bit of a handful, and I doubt I'll be to keen too jet off abroad and leave it.....

I guess come May time, when I can tell people, I'll have to plan things a bit differently.

Hope everyone else is ok today. Looking forward to the possible testing from Angel/Carolyn at the end of the week.....v exciting.

Ceebee, it is all so strange what is happening to your cycle at the moment. It's hard to know what to think! I really hope it was an implantaion bleed like you said. Guess we'll just have to wait and see...fingers crossed for you.

HM2J, it's good to be prepared for possible MS. I'm going to try and enjoy this symptom-free time, and then deal with whatever comes along later!!

ceebee74 · 17/03/2008 17:52

Angel/Carolyn - ooh good luck on Friday for both of you how very very exciting - I love when people are coming up for testing! I may or may not join you - have not decided yet.

MJIM - glad the morning sickness is passing - it should make things so much easier now.

I am obviously trying to outdo Willmouse in the longest cycle ever - only another 3 days and I will have overtaken her epic 38 dayer

Ds is currently wandering round with no trousers on - he has just discovered how to take them off so he now does it every day
