CE - that AF came. Hope you and DP have a great night tonight, like you say, just forget about ttc for a little while and try to have a bit of fun. Let's hope the next cycle is your cycle...........really hope it is, you deserve it, you've always been so positive and offered such encouragement and good advice on this thread, so it's got to be your turn soon. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for you all month!

MJIM - welcome back! Glad you had a fantastic holiday

HC - Lost is back on a week tomorrow (4th May) - woohoo!

DS has got a birthday party in half an hour so am going just as soon as the footy finishes.

It is my birthday tomorrow so we are going to the Lake District for a couple of days although the weather forecast is crap so no idea what we are going to do whilst we are there!!

Hope you all have a good weekend

Ooh, can't wait to get my Sayid fix. Have a fab time and ignore the weather.

Hi everyone, feeling rough as anything with a sore throat and aches and pains-gggrrrhhh!!!

Happy Bithday Ceebee.

Glad you had a good holiday Mjob - we were planning a short break fairly soon - but I have just got a three month job so may not be able to go.

CE - sorry about AF - hope you had a good night out (make the most of them!).

I reckon I ov'd at some point over the weekend so have been busy

Wii fit has arrived and having played on it twice for half an hour (once Friday and once yesterday) I am hobbling around the house like a pensioner I am obviously really unfit LOL. I have been given a wii fitness age of 37 I am only 33

On the up side DS1 loves the jogging game and it really tired him out! He didn't wake up until 8:35 this morning!

Hope you all have a good day. Weather is vile here. Visitors last week bought me a '200 Muffin receipe book' so I am off to put it to good use!

Happy Birthday ceebee! Have a brill day.

Today I am going to try and get through the day without wanting to murder DD1. DH has taken them both to the bottle bank. Being poorly she really did push me to limits I have not quite reached before. Perhaps I shouldn't have anymore as I can't look after the ones I have (well, DD1 anyway).

Love to all

Happy Birthday ceebee - hope you have a brill day and a great couple of days away!

HC - I think they all push us to the limits but it doesn't mean you can't look after them - just you are human and sometimes it is best to have a break {{hugs}} to you. You have also been poorly so don't beat yourself up too much.

Had a great day out yesterday - dh was playing rugby and dd was lovely all day. Only downside is that I decided it was summer and let my legs out for a bit - and now they are all burnt - the colour of my legs!!

Hi Everyone
Happy Birthday Ceebee. Hope you are enjoying a relaxing break.

HC they all have their moments of driving us to distraction, and like Bellie said, sometimes you just need a break.

MJIM glad you enjoyed your break but sorry about DH's grandma. Hope she recovers soon. Lovely feeling the baby move. Am sure once DS gets back into his normal routine things will settle down.

Willmouse I dread to think what age I would be given. 102!

Bellie hope the sunburn improves. I looked a bit pink as well by the end of yesterday.

We had a hectic day yesterday, DD had ballet, then a birthday party, then we drove up to London for a party one of our friends was throwing for another friend who is back visiting the UK from Sydney with her new baby. It was funny to see all the children running around and lovely to catch up with our friends (5 of us 'girls' shared a house at uni but hardly get a chance to all catch up now we've all got kids.) As someone pointed out 10 years ago we were at Glastonbury in the rain, rather than hanging around a bouncy castle!

Quiet on here today!! I guess everyone is too busy enjoying their weekends!

Not much to report here. Went on a hen night last night, although it was quite a low-key one, no L-plates or strippers! I stayed out till about midnight, but have felt knackered all day today as a result! Being out late in Leeds city centre reminded me how I am certainly not in my prime any more - and quite glad if I'm honest. The outfits some girls had on just made me worry about them catching cold! I'm definitely getting old!

Anyway, hope everyone survives Monday!!

CE - hope you're feeling a bit better after the weekend and ready for the next cycle!

Morning all.

I am officially in the 2ww - actually by my reckoning I have 12 days to go until AF is due (I have been dead acurate for the last two months ). My cycles are definitely getting longer and I think it is all to do with the ttc lark so I am not getting stressed about it (yet).

I don't ache as much today - which is good news plus I have got my fitness age down to 32 so I feel a lot better! DH said that it was the BD that had made him ache not the Wii fit . He is in denial....

Glad you all had a good weekend.

Hope the DC's are behaving (DS1 is physically and mentally challenging on a daily basis - my life is like a never ending endurance test)!!!!!

Welcome back MJIM! I am pleased you had a good time. Yay for 17 weeks and feeling baby wriggle more. Ceebee & I had already discussed how you would try and convince me over to October, lol! I am very happy in November as I feel I know the girls well, but I lurk in October to see what I have coming up!

Ceebee, Happy belated birthday!

BB & Willmouse, I hope that the dreaded 2ww passes quickly and that this is the last one for you both.

Bellie, sunburn??? How did you manage that?!

HC, I hope you feel better soon, especially for the end of the week!

Sorry about anyone else I missed, I don't get on at the weekends, so it's hard to catch up.

We had a good weekend. We finally told the families about the baby! Everyone is super excited, which is nice. My Mum said she knew as soon as she saw me, my Grandparents did too, plus they were expecting the announcement for at least a year, lol! The inlaws are pleased, but surprised as they were so sure we were done. The only thing that bugged me was that everyone said they hoped it was a girl . I guess it is something I will have to get used to, but I was hoping to avoid that kind of pressure from the family. I am guessing boy (not that I have a strong feeling either way), DH is guessing girl. DS1 says girl, DS2 says boy, lol!

Hi all

Wow - Myjob - look at your little beanie!! At what stage can you find out the sex - or will you keep it a surprise? I've always thought I'd like the surprise but it does make shopping difficult I guess!

Ceebee, happy belated birthday and thanks for the tests - they arrived today! (I like the private & confidential bit ). It really was very sweet of you so thanks again.

Heartmum2jamie - yay for you! It must be so exciting for your family to have another little one on the way (and ignore the 'girl' comment - I am sure they just weren't thinking properly in the excitement of the moment).

CE - sorry about AF . But I have a good feeling for both of us this month. It's all about relaxing, enjoying life, eating well (and using the ov sticks and sticking your bum on a cushion for 20 mins afterwards - LOL!).

BB and Willmouse - hope the 2ww goes quickly, but I guess keep at it 'just in case'.

My pregnancy tests from eBay arrived today too. Anyone used them before? They look complicated, I assume they work okay??

Hi to everyone I might have missed .

I'm glad you are all feeling a little less tired Myjob, well done on the lie in! At least your next holiday is AFTER my 20 week scan, which is 12th June, lol! Ohhh and another gardener, lol! I thought it was just me. My tomato plants are ready to go out, as well as the peppers and my courgette & cucumber need potting on. I really should get a move on with the salda & herbs though.

It is great that we are due so close together now, lol! I will be able to look to you to remind me of what I have coming ahead of me! It's exciting that you can fel baby moving, not much longer for me now!

Angel, what kind of tests have you got from ebay? I had some dip stick ones, where very good and gave me no nasty evap lines.

Hihi

Yes dip stick ones with a bit you have to peel off. You get a test line and then a line if you are preggers but nothing if not.

xxx

Angel, not heard of the ones you are describing, unless I used mine wrong, lol! Hopefully you will get the result you want with them!

Ooh I hope so too! Thanks

Just done my hour on wii fit - I have lost 2lb since yesterday

Are the tomatoes going outside now? I usually buy mine from B&Q but it would be good to know when to go and get them

George is fine btw!

Wilmouse, I currently have a wii on long term loan....friends of ours have split up this weekend, after 15 years together. It's been horrible to tell you the truth. Anyway, the wii was a Christmas present from her to him, and now he would rather not have it in the house, so he has given it to us to look after!! He doesn't want it back any time soon, so now I am thinking about buying a wii fit, but thought I might get some advice from you first. How safe/practical do you think it is for a pg person to use it (fingers crossed this is a dilemma that you will be in very soon also!!). Is it worth me splashing out the sixty quid, or am I likely to find it too difficult once I get big? It's the kind of thing I usually love - I have a dance mat for the ps2 and I used to do an hour on that every date, it was great!! So your opinion would be appreciated!!

well 2lbs already-that is some workout!

Juanitad sorry about your friends, but every cloud has a silver lining as it were, with you getting the wii!!

HM2J glad your family were all pleased. Just try to ignore all the comments about the sex of the baby-not easy I know, but they will love him/her no matter what the sex.

glad your DS is behaving himself MJIM.

Wish I knew what to do with the garden-always think it must be a relaxing hobby and very satisfying growing your own stuff. MIL does our garden for us and she can lose herself for hours down there.

BB sorry to hear you are feeling down. Hope this month is the month for you.

Angel I have only ever used the supermarket tests so not sure about the ones you have. Hope they work anyway.

I called doctors surgery today and the shirty receptionist told me I should already have seen the midwife at 7 weeks (rather than the 8weeks odd I am now.) Oh well. Seeing the midwife tomorrow. Can't say I am looking forward to it at all. Would rather ignore the whole thing really as any talk of ultrasound scans fills me with dread.

Thanks for all the birthday messages ladies Have had a good couple of days - went on a boat trip round Lake Windermere yesterday, then out to an Italian restaurant for tea. Today we went to a zoo where you can get really close to the animals - you can feed giraffes, walk round areas where kangaroos, lemurs and ostriches are free etc. Funnily enough, the animals DS was most scared of were the ducks

Sickness seemed to disappear yesterday which was great but has now come back with a bit of a vengeance tonight. Am now nearly 10 weeks and it is definitely easing thank god!

HC - thanks for the fruit smoothie - I love the thoughtfulness of sending me a non-alcoholic drink!

Angel - glad the sticks arrived and fingers crossed they do the trick for you. As you had given me your work address, I thought I had better mark them private and confidential just in case some random person in your post room opened them

Willmouse - 2lb??? Wow! Like Juanitad, I have looked at getting the Wii fit but I don't think I would use it now so I think I will get it to get myself back in shape after this baby is born but before I can face the gym. Fingers crosssed for you this month - am sure statistically, we must have a BFP from somewhere this month.

Majormoo - hope the midwife appointment goes well tomorrow

MJIM - so glad DS is back to his normal self - it is amazing what chaos a change of routine can cause isn't it?

Whilst at the zoo today, they had some wooden walkways which were really slippery - I fell over onto my bum quite hard (which fortunately is VERY well-padded) - was a bit worried about 'bump' but everything seems to be ok.

Anyway, off for an early night in a bit.

Morning all

Have just about lost my voice and it is still sore. Bah humbug!

Trying to book a week away in the caravan-DH is phoning from work now as I can't speak to anyone. Have got to book the cat in though so that will be a struggle-she will think I am some mad woman.

ceebee-glad you had a great B'Day and hope the sickness goes very soon and you start to bloom.

My OV and PG sticks don't need peeling-I just dip them.

Grass needs cutting but it is quite wet at the moment.

Will catch up later. Hi to everyone else.
