so glad to have you back

hi gyo it is sunny here too which is good after all the rain yesterday.

GruffaloSoldier · 10/08/2008 09:51

Morning everyone!

Nice to see you back Diege!

Had a great time at the wedding yesterday - was a really lovely day!

I am having the weirdest symptom of waking up so early and being wide awake which is so unlike me that DH is finding it very amusing as before I would never wake up before him. Especially on a sunday!

Gyo - I am feeling very excited but also worried at the same time! I'm still knicker checking every now and again. I have told some close friends as they knew we were ttc!Plus when they asked I couldn't keep a straight face!

My two sisters also know as we are very close and if anything happened I would need them to be there.

Now my two sisters know though I feel bad that my Mum doesn't know as I think she would be quite hurt. I am planning to do a shop bought test tomorrow and then might tell parents. If anything happened I would tell them so think I should probably tell them.

My edd is around the 16th April I think - but am a bit unsure as I haven't had a period since I came off the pill so it really is just a guess!

GYo · 10/08/2008 10:00

Morning Tink, Gruff

I had that early morning waking thing at first. It did get better but i've found I have to go to bed early to get up at 6am for work so its hard to change it at the w/ends!

16th April is a great date and will be my grandpa 99th (!!)

April is a lovely month to give birth- start of spring etc

Funny how friends kinda of guess and ask . We told all our friends we'd wait til after Jan 09 to start TTC so no one has asked us. Though Im avoiding alchol situations for now as I know that will bust me straight off!

I've still not told my dad and stepmother. They are on holiday now so will wait to after 12wks scan.

Was sunny here but now gone a bit cloudy.

GruffaloSoldier · 10/08/2008 12:04

Wow Gyo - 99 is very impressive!

Yeah I am quite thrilled with an april baby as it is only one of two months without immediate family birthdays!

Me and DH are having a very chilled day today as the last two weeks have been a bit hectic - it feels good!

Have a streaming cold too, or maybe hayfever?

Might walk in to town in a minute and get some sunshine! (have to get dressed first though!

tinkispregnantwithpickle · 10/08/2008 13:00

99 wow good on him

my bro is born in april a lovely time to have a baby.

i am 17 and a half weeks today time is going ridiculsy quick is flying before my eyes.

getting lots more movement

SesQal · 10/08/2008 14:17

Hi tink - like the new name
17 and a half weeks is nearly half way!!!

I've decided to try and get a bit fitter and trimmer. Just been out for a bike ride for the first time in nearly a year and feel v pathetic as only did just under a mile. I used to do a weekly cross country up and down hill. Plan is to go out again a bit later and do a bit more and then try to get a few rides in during the week so I can gradually build up....

Gruff - sorry you're sufferring with cold/hayfever. Hope you got your fresh air and are feeling a bit better.

GruffaloSoldier · 10/08/2008 14:39

Afternoon!

Ses - my DH just made me walk all way to Tesco and back - although he didn't make me carry much He reckons he is my personal trainer Seem to be a bit less snuffly now too

We might be going cycling later. It is a good idea to concentrate on fitness!

I bought a baby magazine today too, I did buy them before but felt a bit of a fraud (in a nice way).

Got some pg tests too but Im a bit worried to do them!

Tink - it is reassuring to know that you find your pregnancy is rushing by!Great that you are feeling lots of movement - I have heard it can be a great bonding experience.

SesQal · 10/08/2008 14:45

IKWYM about buying baby mags - I've resisted so far....
As for your pg tests, I'd save up 4 hours of wee and then give it a go as it'll only play on your mind otherwise (well it would if it was me...) Either that or use FMU tomorrow. I'm sure from what you've said it will only serve to put your mind at rest

I know I do really need to think about my fitness levels. I've never been really overweight or unfit but for the last year I haven't really done much in the way of exercise and I guess now is as good a time to start as any! Tbh, I think I just need to be tough with myself and push myself a bit more.

GYo · 10/08/2008 14:58

Hi Ses, Tink, Gruffalo

Gruff- lol re baby mags, I've just been to Sains and bought "pregancy & birth" - first one ever and its only mildly freaking me out. Though DH's eyes nearly popped out of his head

GOod luck with the tests - do FMU tomorrow morning

Tink, love the new name and I cant believe that you are 17.5wks. It feels like only yesterday you posted to say you were 11wks!

Ses- good luck with the cycling/ fitness

PS- I feel like fraud buying pregnancy mags and Im nearly 9wks - was glad I could hide it amongst my shopping!!!

GruffaloSoldier · 10/08/2008 15:13

OMG Gyo - that makes me look so bad - think im on my 5th or 6th baby mag! (im a sucker for all the freebies )

Ok so ignored all of your advice and did not wait 4 hours and did not wait for FMU.

Just did cheapie 10 miu and Tesco 25 miu....

GYo · 10/08/2008 15:14

and?

GruffaloSoldier · 10/08/2008 15:16

STRONG BFP ON BOTH

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

GYo · 10/08/2008 15:17

Hurray!! [gri n]

Congratulations again!

You must be very relieved to see it again.

Time to buy more baby mags!

GruffaloSoldier · 10/08/2008 15:21

Hee hee! such a relief! I was a bit worried as the cheapies were really early etc. Feels a bit more real seeing it on the Tesco one especially as hadn't waited 4 hrs so was preparing to see nothing!

Can ring the docs tomorrow now and get an appointment.OMG!

They are both stronger than one on Thurs too so that must be good.

Ok i better stop hogging this thread

glaskham · 10/08/2008 15:24

afternoon all!! I cant test till tomorrow afternoon at the earliest!! I am due some tests in the post so will keep FMU and test once they come with the postman- failing that i'll get DH to take me out to get some to test with. AF is due tomorrow, so if i have no spotting then i'll be wanting to test.

I dont want to take the faint + yesterday as i am, as i'd be very upset if AF arrived then!!

My sister is here atm so we're off to browse ebay for baby bits!! she's 15wks tomorrow!! and still not showing yet!!

GYo · 10/08/2008 15:27

Hi Glask- enjoy ebay browsing

Right Im off to sort out my clothes. Need to pack away the jeans I just cannot wear anymore

back laters

SesQal · 10/08/2008 15:40

Glaskham - hope AF stays away and you get a nice strong BFP

I've just been out on my bike again and did 1.5 miles this time so feel a bit better as that's 2.8 miles today now (I have a little computer thing on my bike that gives me speed and distance)

Gruff - glad you did those tests and even more pleased with the results! Congratulations!!!

GruffaloSoldier · 10/08/2008 15:58

Hi Glask

I have my fingers and toes firmly crossed for you tomorrow!GOOD LUCK!(hope the postman delivers!)

Hi Ses,

Well done! That sounds good. DH is just changing my tyres to off road ones and then we are going to go for a ride.

I did the london to brighton in june but haven't been on a bike since!

SesQal · 10/08/2008 16:00

OMG! My 2.8 miles sounds even more pathetic now after your London to Brighton!!
Enjoy your cycle!

GruffaloSoldier · 10/08/2008 16:16

No Ses, not pathetic at all! You need to start reasonably small and build up - you did good! You dont want to completely knacker yourself!

I'm impressed yuo went out twice! I finding it hard enough to move my bum of the sofa

SesQal · 10/08/2008 16:20

Normally so do I, so I don't know what's got into me today! I think I just thought I'd make the most of it

glaskham · 10/08/2008 16:28

DH is hoping to cycle his bike from my mums home so we can start using our bike trailer for the kids!! I aint gonna do it on mine!! We have a bike rack but dont think it'll fit the new car as it was bought for the boot of the BMW not this one!!

Sounds like your doing well though ses!! I hope once DH has his here i can use that till i get mine here!!

tinkispregnantwithpickle · 10/08/2008 17:14

glaskham · 10/08/2008 20:39

Just been to the toilet and had a tiny bit of pink spotting!!!

Think AF may have me in her sight!! Will probs still test tomorrow if AF hasn't got hold of me when the tests arrive.... I'm actually pretty gutted this time round as with that line yesterday I was certain it'd be a BFP this month.

Then DH dropped the bombshell that he's only agreed to having a 3rd because its what I wanted.... so now i'm upset and wondering wether i should be so desperate for another when he doesn't!!

SesQal · 10/08/2008 20:48

Oh Glaskham!!
It may yet be implantation so see how you go overnight and what the postman brings. I'm gutted for you too if it is AF.
Did your DH drop that bombshell before or after you told him about the spotting? It may have been his bizarre way of trying to make you feel better about spotting??
