Hi BB, good to hear from you . Well I'm off now too so night all and speak tomorrow

glaskham · 11/05/2008 20:34

Well i missed a fair old bit today....and all the while i was desperate to see this thread....however we had a lovely day...

got up early and I hade us scrambled eggs on muffins for breakfast, dh then took me to my mums house with the kids before setting off for work. We did just plan to stay at mums house with my sisters (mum and dad are away) but ended up going out, went and bought some food for a picnic at the park, and then my sisters had the kids alone for half an hour there while i got to go and look in next.

I found i have lost 6lb and about 2 weeks....and thats just from spending time rolling around the garden with the kids!! But that still leaves me with 2 extra tyres!!

Then went and got some food to ahve a bbq. Informed DH to come back to mums for bbq straigth from work and it started rainign as i was cooking!!! But i managed to get it all done just before the heavens really opened!!!

Feel constantly thirsty, but dont seem to be going to the loo as often as normal...bit strange, but not thinking its a symptom at all!! Woke up feeling a but sickish...but not trying to read too much into it as its still VERY early days!!!

Diege · 11/05/2008 21:30

I'm not really here, I', writing a lecture on sampling strategies in research (hence, that's why I'm here...) . Sounds a lovely day Glaskham . Should let you know though that my friend's only symptom pre-testing was a raging thirst, and she is pregnant with twins!!! . I'll leave you with that thought...

Starshinetiger · 11/05/2008 22:26

Haven't had a chance to be on all week, 'fraid I haven't caught up on it all.
CONGRATULATIONS Tink! I knew you would be up the duff - all those high temps and you resisting testing 'n all!
Cals & Squack, sorry for DHs being PITAs - I know what you mean - think the bathroom would need to be knee deep in dust before my DH would think it needed cleaning
Have been keeping off here to keep my mind off things really. Am just waiting for appt from clinic and hopefully things will go fast from there, it will all be false alarm and we can get on with ttc - can't believe DH though, he said earlier this week, so when do we need to start GOFing lots? Is the first time he's really taken an interest in the TTC in such an obvious way and he waits until we're really having to delay it !! He just doesn't think sometimes!!
Am also very broody having been to see my friend and her 3 week old yesterday - she was so sweet! So hope we have DC2 by this time next year. In the meantime, have opened the windows playing & cruise - it was getting a bit hot in the wagon - have also got the Pimms on ice!
Right, am supposed to be getting ready for bed. Shall try to keep up with what's going on. Glaksham - am guessing you are being a surrogate for a friend - that is amazing, am keeping everything crossed for you to be pg this month! - and for all you other lovely ladies too of course.
I seem to have exclamationmarkitis - sorry.
Catch y'all soon.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 12/05/2008 07:06

Good morning Yep back on course!! Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact he has gone back to work - I love him to bits but my god he was starting to annoy!! LOL In the nicest way possible obviously! TBH it wasn't him annoying me, just that, well we have our routines and it cocks everything up when the routines are out of sinc IYKWIM? Plus I was just being a moody cowbag - hormones!

Squack, when I got the late BFP with DS2, I had 'pin pointed' OV as the same day as the previous cycle, but, it seems that maybe my OV spotting wasn't as great as I had thought, going off how I thought I had OV'ed a lot later than I possibly could have done this time I got pregnant. And the weeks work had been to get the house de-cluttered, and the gardens/garage sorted. Got all of the house done, all of the gardens, and most of the garage, you can actually walk in the garage now and even stretch your arms out without touching anything so it is a lot better!! If you did OV later than FF is saying, then it most deffo isn't over, and all the signs are looking good, you have had a pretty much mirror image of Tink, and look at her!!

Same for Cal (Am determined to get you on the same ante-natel as me again! The labour thread/s won't be the same without you!! )

OK I am going to really moan now because I can't do it to DH, he has kind of washed his hands of the situation....

My mum, she is a lovely wonderful thoughtful person, who loves her kids and grandkids to bits, and would never purposefully hurt any of us, but, and it is a sodding big but, it is a very strong case of out of sight out of mind with her. Problem being that we are 200 miles out of sight, and may as well be 1000 miles out of mind. The day I got my BFP, she was having her phone number changed, I'd spoke to her in the morning (before I got the BFP) and she said she'd ring that evening to tell us the new number, that was a week and a half ago, she hasn't rang and . We normally talk at least twice a week, but it is always me that rings her, in fact the only time she rings me is if something is wrong, and I do mean that, if the phone rings and I see her number on it, my heart sinks because I know there is bad news of some sort.

DH is fed up of me moaning about her (obviously this has been going on for years, not just the last week or so) I haven't spoken to my sister all week because we've both been too busy (we did say to each other we probably wouldn't get time to ring, so not moaning about her) but we will speak later today, and I just know it is going to turn into another 'let's have a good old moan about mum chat' which does help to clear the air a bit, but it doesn't really change the fact that once again, our mum has put us on the back burner (sister lives 100 miles away from mum as well, so also has the same out of sight out of mind problems with her).

On top of all of that, firstly now obviously mum doesn't even know I am pregnant, when even the people at school/neighbours have seen for themselves, and secondly, I get to the point where I just think fuck it, if she isn't bothered about us, then I'll not bother with her, but because I know she would never hurt us on purpose, and well, just because she is my mum, I don't want to be the one who is causing trouble. And thirdly she is going on holiday later this week, so if she doesn't ring before then, it will be another week before we hear anything, and it just really pisses me off.

Grrrrr sorry, turned out longer than I thought! Fancy being practically AWOL for over a week and then coming back with that! What style and grace I don't have! Sorry everyone, I am going to sod off now!

kayzisexpecting · 12/05/2008 07:32

Morning,

Poor Nat, Sorry your mum hasn't rang you. Hopefully she'll ring you tonight.

I still have this pigging cold. I am really hoping it will go soon.
I spent all day yesterday out in the sun and I still don't have a tan.

Hope everyone is ok.

tinkisexcited · 12/05/2008 07:39

morning ladies
sorry about mum nat
k hope cold goes soon
i have a red soe fanjo and weeing lots

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 12/05/2008 07:44

Not holding my breath for a phone call! Although after posting such an essay I am sure you lot wouldn't mind me holding my breath!!

Sorry about your cold, we have all had one over the last couple of weeks, just the the last niggly PITA bit's left now.

I find pregnancy either makes me burn like something on a BBQ, or I don't get anything. We have been outside most of the week doing the gardens, and I only have the very very slightest touch of the sun on my face, chest and shoulders, DH's face, back of his neck, and his arms are as brown as a brown thing!

Just after I had DS1 we went to stay in Bournemouth with my sister, and I got soooooo burnt, everyone else got a slight browning and I had blisters and crispy skin for about 2 weeks, it was a bit of a nightmare actually because I'd burnt the inside of my elbows (reading the paper on the beach) so I could hardly hold DS1, I had to rest him on cushions and pillows to feed him, it is the only time I have ever been burnt properly - never again!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 12/05/2008 07:46

Morning Tink

I am with you with the sore fanjo, I keep feeling like something is crawling around down there, there is nothing by the way, have had DH looking a few times!! LOL

Anyway.... on with something that isn't about my fanjo...! LOL

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 12/05/2008 07:48

God it is good to be back, this is my fourth post today, think that is more than all week!

I really am going to get on with something now, when I can peel my bum away from the seat...!

kayzisexpecting · 12/05/2008 08:08

Does your mum have a mobile?

I thought I had felt movements the other day. It was so wierd. But I have put it down to wind.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 12/05/2008 08:13

Yep, but it is never on, and even if it was, I am kind of feeling a bit arsey and childish stubburn.

With DS2 I thought I was feeling movements about 9 weeks, kept putting it down to wind, the feelings got stronger and stronger but I still put it down to wind, went for the scan at 14 weeks, was feeling the movements as he was moving on the screen, so it is possible!

kayzisexpecting · 12/05/2008 08:17

I was wondering if you could just send her a text saying "Helllloooooooo" I would if it was my mum.

I only felt it once so it could have been.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 12/05/2008 08:39

No, my mum wouldn't know what to do with a text, she can only just about manage to turn the telly over with the remote, and even then she has been known to try and turn the telly over with the stereo remote!

I think the thing with movements is even what I was feeling with DS2, I strongly suspect that a lot of what I was thinking was movements was actually just other things moving about in there, but I know for definate that what I was feeling at the scan was DS2 moving because I could see it! Although I think, especially in second (or more) pregnancies, because you know what type of movements you are looking for, you have a much better idea when it is the baby and when it isn't.

kayzisexpecting · 12/05/2008 08:44

Blees your mum. My grandad always replies with one word or two very little words.

It really did feel like the very first movements I had with DS and I didn't fart pass wind afterwards. So maybe it was the baby.

Squack · 12/05/2008 08:47

Hello girls!

Nothing to report here at all.

Have a good day everyone x

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 12/05/2008 08:47

Have you tried getting back into the same position you were in when you felt it?

I am determined that as soon as you can see the movements on the outside, I am going to get a bag of malteasers and do the thing they used to do on the advert, never got round to doing last time! LOL

Right school is calling....

glaskham · 12/05/2008 09:01

Ohh....maybe the thirst is a sign then!!! oh, i'm reading WWWWAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY into every little thing!!!

Yes, Starshinetiger I am being a surrogate for my friend. This is our first month trying.... and i never had to try with my own...

I'm 9 days away from testing!!! if i can wait!! I think i may test in 7....but not certain.... will see how i cope. Dont know how my friend and her hubby have been over the weekend as not spoken to her since friday and even then she was bouncing off the walls with exitement.

Sorry about the BFN, but you knew it would be neg at CD22! Be strong and don't listen to me this time next week when I am bugging you to test!
