Lol-I thought 3 of 5 potential DC's then realised Heartmum meant 3 + 2 adults.

HM2J, aaaaw! The little knees - adorable.

Hope everyone's OK this rainy evening. I've washed my hair for the 1st time in four days and (almost) convinced myself it's OK that this wasn't THE cycle. But the thoughts niggle: Didn't I get all the 'PMT' symptoms a little early (8-10 dpo), why am I a bit blissed out today, yada yada. Time to hit a bottle of red & actually enjoy new house now methinks.
Waves to all you nice people. x

Thanks for the positivity MJIM, really heart warming. AF due Sat 14 June (CD 28) and I know what's coming. Kicking myself for getting hopes up secretly with the sore nips & weird CM 7-8 DPO (perhaps just old spunk? Sorry!), then a tiny bleeding yesterday (11 DPO).
But before & after that little blood I've had the same brown CM that I always get around CD 24, signalling The B*tch, like a kick in the teeth --->

HumphreysCorner · 12/06/2008 19:21

Mandy-you are so positive and to the point. You make me laugh. This will be me in 2 weeks when AF visits again!

HM2J - again, fab fab news for you. Am so pleased and a little ! And what a privilege for you to be the only girl in the house

MJIM - the birth plan is great and given me some ideas. The whole natural birth scares me a little as I had a cs with DS - I feel like a first-timer

Mandy - your posts do make me laugh! I really have everything crossed for you that this cycle will be it - not long to wait now!

Hi to everyone else

majormoo · 12/06/2008 19:53

congratulations HM2J. Great pics. You truely will be the Queen Bee!

Well I was soooooo surprised by the Apprentice-was sure Clare would win. Still, glad Helene or Alex didn't win.

MJIM great birth plan. Hope they adhere to it. I had DS in an upright position at the midwife's instruction-only thing against it was when he came out it was harder to scoop him up, as he was wriggling beneath me, rather than with DD (who I delivered on my back) she kind of just wriggled straight up to me.

HumphreysCorner · 12/06/2008 21:06

ceebee-do not be scared or worried about a vag delivery. As soon as the baby comes out it is an instant recovery and the dreaded heartburn stops after the last push.

Bellie · 13/06/2008 09:55

morning all,

HM2J - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Soo pleased to hear about your scan too.

Not been around for a couple of days, had parents here and also been feeling really rough. Was actually sick on Wed and still not sleeping, the afternoons are the worst as I feel like I have been rung out in a mangle and left on a boat!

7 weeks +1 today so guessing got a few more weeks yet.

I can't believe how fast your dates are moving on everyone and that you are already thinking of your birth plans!

Mandy - still got my fingers crossed for you - it ain't over until it's over as others have been saying.

How long till you can test hc ?

Soosy - so sorry to hear about your news. I was convinced it was your turn this time too. {{hugs}} hope you feel able to come back soon.

HumphreysCorner · 13/06/2008 11:41

Morning all

Bellie-so sorry you are feeling rough. The mum at school looked a bit pasty this morning, didn't like to ask how she was feeling. Am so dreading this bit. Since you ask, I will begin testing next Thursday.

ceebee-no, it is certainly not easy but my 2 friends have had 2 C-Sections each and I felt my recovery was much quicker than theirs especially when you have a toddler already that needs picking up.

Well, am trying not to symptom spot so am putting my fingers in my ears and singing la la la so I don't hear myself.

Have put Jeyes Fluid in my water butt and my hands smell foul even though I have washed them well. Ew!

Hope you all have a good day and hi to everyone else.

It is quiet round here today - where are you all??

Anyway, am going to see Boyzone tonight and am now v excited that I can't really concentrate on work Although I am wondering how the hell I am going to stay awake until after midnight being a lightweight anyway - and even worse now I am a pregnant lightweight!!

Will catch up tomorrow (if anyone else appears!)

ChocolateEclair · 13/06/2008 16:13

HM2J - happy birthday!!!! Another member of the 30 club! Hope you are having a great time

ceebee - enjoy boyzone! I used to LOVE them!

HC - finally got to see your chart! It looks good! I definetly confirm Ov! Fingers crossed for another temp shift or something?!?! (Having said that my chart last month had no early signs whatsoever and I'm pg so hmm????)...hope your hands smell better! Wishing you the best of luck...hope it's your turn!

Bellie - sorry you are feeling rough. (I'm not feeling so hot myself! ha ha!)Feel like have a hangover all the time and sleeping 12 hours a night!

DP is taking me out for a lovely bar meal as it's the weekend, but will try to have something a bit healthy as all I could manage last night was chicken nuggests and chips !!! with 3 veg though!!!

Have a fab evening xxx

Bellie · 13/06/2008 16:42

Wow ceebee - Boyzone (swoon). Not sure I would stay awake either! Fell asleep on the sofa again today, but dd kept waking me every 10 minutes to ask me to hold her cars .

Supposed to be cooking dinner for 5 tonight - but [boak] at the thought of any raw food - so chinese take away it is! (have managed to make my chocolate mousse tho - completely pregnant friendly - mars bars and cream!!)

Mandy73 · 13/06/2008 16:43

HC, thanks! We have to laugh, right? What the heck is foul smelling Jeyes Fluid in your water butt?!? A medical procedure? Your fetisch? Both?

Ceebee, that?s really lovely and makes me want to cry a bit. Enjoy the gig! (esp ?Mandy?. Or is that by another boyband? Sorry... )

Majormoo, I?m with you: Anything but Helen or Alex ? both v chippy, no?

HM2J, happy birthday! Hope you have a lovely time. The +30-club is a great place I promise.

Bellie, sorry to hear you?ve been feeling rough, don?t know what to suggest except for the obvious; take it e-a-s-y. And thank you. It?s so heart warming with support from people who truly understand.

CE, enjoy the meal and go for what you fancy!

I've been to clean out the old flat and did massive shop (walked!) hoping to bring on AF (I know it doesn?t work like that but felt good). 13 dpo (lucky for some eh?) and no AF yet at 4.33pm. I feel it coming though, for sure. Crampy & dry. Won't even test, I know it would be a BFN. Five minutes ago I swore it AF was knocking but it was ?egg white? CM which threw me a bit.
Told DH I?m certain I?m getting my period soon ? he?s OK & I even got a surprise sympathy shag! Nice to know there?s still life in the old cowboy.
Feeling chirpy & determened to enjoy the w/e.
Hope you all are too! xx

ChocolateEclair · 13/06/2008 19:32

Mandy !!! You crack me up yet again!
I really hope AF is not on her way....you have had some odd symptoms don't you think?!?!? So will you be persuaded to test in the morning if AF has stayed away in the night??? Glad that chatting on here is helping you get through the 2ww. I know it always helped me loads. You have a cracking sense of humour actually so you probably don't need us at all!

My bar meal was lovely (lasagne and gorgeous salad) so quite healthy too....can understand why bellie is going for chinese! Had a nice bath and just chilling out now.

Have a great evening everyone xxx

HumphreysCorner · 13/06/2008 19:48

Mandy-you need to put 5 ml of Jeyes Fluid in your water butt to stop the hideous smell don't you know. Really hope the evil witch stays away.

Me too, wonder who will be evicted?

We'll find out soon

Yes, but I'm off to bed to watch it

OK, night then

juanitad · 13/06/2008 22:09

oh, HC, don't like to see you talking to yourself so thought I would get off my backside and post you a reply, but you've probably gone to bed now. In fact I think I may head to bedfordshire myself soon. Hope you enyjoyed BB, I have managed to avoid it so far, but usually with me it's just a matter of time...........

ceebee74 · 14/06/2008 10:59

Mandy - any news this morning? And 'Mandy' was Westlife so you weren't that far off

HC - lol at your post!! I was watching FAR better things than BB.....mmmmm.....Ronan

CE - lasagne and salad sounds delicious - could just eat that right now!

Boyzone were fab fab fab! Although I did nearly need a cold shower at one point - they did a song whilst jogging on treadmills and wearing very little - in fact, just shorts!! Wow Wow Wow - those lads have been hitting the gym VERY hard! They all looked like bodybuilders!!!

Just been to aerobics and gonna go for a shower - DS is at MIL's and I have to go and pick him up in a bit! But, get this, it is DH's turn to do cricket teas today and he took all the stuff round to MIL's this morning with him so she could 'help' make the sandwiches Men eh??

Have a good day all

HumphreysCorner · 14/06/2008 14:09

ceebee-bet Boyzone were scrumptiously divine and full of talent of course. Er, Sayid.....Boyzone I know who does it for me.

Mandy-how goes it today? Hope you are OK.

Where is willmouse and belgianbun? Did they say they were escaping somewhere?

Had a touch of rain but sun is out again.
