Here

I feel really awful today. I didn't sleep properly last night, I think its the start of about 24 weeks of broken sleep.

I'm at work tonight as I swapped shifts with someone and I really do think I'll be falling asleep behind the deli.

Helloooooooooooooooooooooo?????????

Is there anybody there???????????

Any news????? Have seen Pops!!!! and big wow!!! Huge congratulations How exciting?

How is everyone?

We are back, obviously!! But got big weekend planned, so probably won't be 'back' properly till Monday.

Not sure I could have fitted anymore excalmation marks in this post, or question marks.... Shall I try?????!!!!!!

Hello!!

Kay - sorry you're not feeling so great. Hope you manage to stay awake at work and that you get a better night's sleep tonight

NJ - Glad to see you back. Hope you had a good time away and enjoy your wkend

I'm having a better day today. Sitting watching the tennis at the moment. Was horrified at how many of you swoon over Nadal ! Good tennis player but not really my cup of tea! I thought Chris Eaton was rather yummy though (not sure if I'm allowed to say that as thinking about it he's 15yrs younger than me! Scary!!)

hi nat you must be 12wks now i am 11 wks tom time is flying

Hi Ses thanks How are things with you now? I have so much to catch up on!

Yep 12 weeks tomorrow Tink Can easily pick up the heartbeat now, which is really reassuring!

DH is doing my favourite (home cooked) meal for dinner, such a cheap easy meal, it's only like a sausage risotto, but it is beautiful

How is the sickness fairing for everyone?

When is the next testing bananza?

And most importantly, have I missed any BFP's?

Hi Nat! How was the holiday? Do you feel like you need another one?.
aunty had a BFP this morning (thread aunty, not mine!)Pop is having twins as you picked up . Wow, can't believe you're nearly in the 2nd semester .
Kayz, fingers crossed you have an easy time of it tonight, and that you have a good sleep. Just think of sinking into those pillows..
Have to start getting dd2 ready now for the school party...nails, make up (well, kids' lip gloss)the lot!
BTW SES, Nadal is 15 years younger than me too - are we pervs???

Sorry, Diege - really don't get the Nadal thing!

But as for those 15 yrs younger than us, I guess we're just appreciating their youth and looks. I have 2 friends married to guys 10 yrs older than them so what does age matter???! Only 18 months between me and DH though (he's older!)

Congrats Aunty. I'm sure everything will be fine. I do now how you feel though. I'm checking my knickers every half hour

NJ welcome back - did you have a good time? Can you tell me more about your heart beat monitor. I know that I will have trouble trying to work out which heartbeat is which but to hear something will be reassuring. DH and I are still in shock.

My hairdresser came round last night and is adamant that she won't do my roots until I'm past my 12 week scan so I'm currently walking around with shocking roots and last night I took off my acrylic nails (knowing there is no evidence to support that they are bad) - feels very odd, even more so when picking my nose

time is going so quick isnt it nat i am looking forward 2 getting doppler next month, going for angel on from amazon got gr8 reviews.
when is your next appoinmtnet nat?
i have midwife 11:45am wed cant wait to hear heartbeat and 12 wk scan a wk mon when is ur scan nat.
i still feel nauseous on and off through the day starting to eat abit mor now.
poor sorky has awful sickneess she popped on briefly and went again
hi diege

hi pop

i am going to get ange monitor from amazon got gr8 reviews.
i bet you are i am sure that it will sink in soon

Evening ladies I have not caught up yet but just wanted to let you all know I have a symptom................. Yay.............. I have been feeling (although not actually being.) sick all day........... yay....

Right will retrace the day and will be back soon...

That's err great news LB (I think!) Hopefully reassuring anyway!

Congratulations Auntie yay we have another one.

Ladies I work out I am going to be 6 weeks this coming monday but I am sure that diege and sorky were way in front of me so can you check for me.

My first day of last period was the 20th May and my cycles vary between 26 and 29 days......

yah 4 symptom lb

LB, sounds about right to me dates-wise. I was 7 weeks today, and LMP was 8th May (29 day cycle). Are you going by ovulation or LMP?
POP, the hair colour thing is controversial but there's no scientific evidence to prove that hair colouring is harmful in pregnancy. Some still advise caution for first 12 weeks (ie, your hairdresser) though my GP and midwife say it's OK to colour from BFP to labour. So I have . LOL at picking nose after acrylics. I had them for 5 years and remember the terrible nosebleed I had with the first nose pick ...and the best back scratch ever!

Oh and congrats on the sickness LB ; I am v.jealous...I think... I also have another symptom - horrible metal mouth taste that is notably worse than previously - and more tired too..

I have a really bad back ache as well. It is really low down and to the left. It hurts like hell but I am taking comfort in the fact that it is a symptom.... (It is isnt it?))

Diege I was going from first day of last period as that is the dates that the dr and midwife go by....

LB, I work out your due date as 24th Feb?? (ok, not be but some internet due date calculator thing). Bad luck on the backache - I had exactly this with dd1 at about 6 weeks on left on top of bum/very low back. It was a touch of sciatica, but cleared up pretty quick

Thanks diege for helping me with my dates.... And for confirming that the pain is a symptom...

I am eating starburst by the packet at the moment because they help the sickness. I havent been sick at all but felt sick all day.....

Hello everyone!! Still getting used to the BFP (did another test this morning and was a V strong line hurrah!)

Have had lots of backache too lardybump... and think my DD will be early March... seems AGES!
Also had a very strong wave of nausea this afternoon...

All sounding very good aunty...

starburst r great

Hi tink how are you feeling?

Hello everyone! Quite of all your symptoms!! Silly isn't it??!

Welcome back, NJ, you've been missed! Hope you had a good hol - have a good weekend.

Congrats again, Aunty. March babies are FAB!

I did another OPK stick this afternoon and still nothing, but I take a bit of comfort that you got no positive with them when ttc DD3, Diege.

Am LOVING Wimbledon. Oh and our kittens have new names as it turns they they are both girls. They are going to be Minne and Beryl after the Beano characters. WHat do you think? I like Minnie but still not sure about Beryl!

Beryl the peril is great Kooky . BTW I think it's very common for some women to ovulate but the opks not to pick up the 'surge'; I think that's why I didn't even try then when ttc n0.4 and just went off CM
