Shusshhhhh we're hiding!!

Teuch · 05/09/2008 10:32

Oh, and after all that rambling...

SES - I would definitely recommend the early scan route.

Dal -sorry about period (sorry, can't do 'AF'!) . You sound like you have your head screwed on re TTC but we will do our best to bully you anyway

Cal - you're sounding a bit brighter. I hope you are feeling it.

Dalrymps · 05/09/2008 10:34

Oh god, I HATE the DFS advert too, it soooo embarassing!

I'm adding my AF, ok a little selfish but I feel necassary.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 05/09/2008 10:34

It's no good is it? You are all conspiring against me....

Thanks Teuch, as ever you speak sense! It is confusing, but do-able, I thought it would be like going back to the weeks following the MC emotionally, but I am strangely(?) settled.

NJ you're an old meany!

I don't think there is a right way for you to feel today, although I should think there's plenty of expectation of how you should feel, which I guess is confusing, particularly if you don't feel it. I'd like to think that I'll be pg by the time the edd comes round and be able to take comfort from it like Teuch says - I hope you can too.

I realised on Weds evening that I was booked for the 12 week scan in the afternoon - I mentioned it to DH and he said "oh", and that's how I felt - not enough to make me cry and I hope that's a good sign of acceptance and willingness to move on (rather than a complete lack of compassion for myself IYKWIM?)

Dal - lol at your 'oops' for eating chocolate ....I haven't had anything to eat yet as don't really fancy anything, but chocolate....mmmmmmmmm Might have to go and raid the cupboards and see what's lurking. I think your plans for waiting sound good, in as much as they suit you - clearly would be over the moon for you if you got a BFP though! And expect lots of pushing tempting comments from NJ to get you back off the wagon over the coming months!

GYo, you could have made me a bowl of porridge - I just can't be arsed this morning! Maybe I'll have some in a minute...with chocolate!

Teuch, good to hear from you, I've missed you

calsworld · 05/09/2008 10:41

Teuch - am feeling it , if a lot little lazy too

Think the real test will be going back to work but doc said not to go back till I was going out of my mind with boredom and wanted to go back to work - so clearly he's never heard of MN!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 05/09/2008 10:43

Ahem, less of the old if you don't mind!

I am actually going into hiding for a while now, I have a date with my mother on the phone, think I'd rather talk to TalkTalk LOL

See you in a bit xxx

Dalrymps · 05/09/2008 10:58

I'm off to get my stinky self in to the bath before I become one with the sofa and the neighbours think I only ever wear my dresing gown . Back when i'm clean!

GYo · 05/09/2008 11:25

ooh sorry Cal- thought you were still in bed

will make double porridge next time..

you were right Diege- rain stopped here and its a bit brighter....

calsworld · 05/09/2008 11:36

Am following Dal's example and sending myself off to the kitchen for something to eat, then running myself a big bath to wallow in whilst testing out a new face mask I ordered in from body shop a couple of weeks ago . Not quite the same as a spa break but about right for now I think.

I'm having a bit of a zit break out at the moment, which is very unlike me, which I guess is a combination of my unclean tramp like couch potato status, and hormones settling down. The bleeding seems to have finally stopped which is nice, kind of feel like I can really close a door today - by making nice plans for this weekend, next week and even next weekend.

And whilst trying not to get emotional (due to starvation) can I just say, one more (and last) time, a really, really, really big thanks to all of you for listening, supporting and helping me to see past my experiences of last week. I know its difficult 'posting around' someone who's a bit down, so appreciate your honesty and support. Thank you for not ignoring me...

Right, food. Bath. GET DRESSED!

GYo · 05/09/2008 12:05

Enjoy your bath Cal-

Glad you are feeling a bit better and have nice w/e plans.

Im off shortly to hosp. Going early so we can get a coffee before and not turn up stressed.

Will report back

Byeee

PS thanks for all the wishes of luck

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 05/09/2008 12:34

meant to say (and honestly thought I'd started my last post with):

Good luck for the scan GYo, can't wait for the pics

Diege · 05/09/2008 12:51

Glad you have good relaxing afternoon planned CALS . Face pack sound slovely, as do your plans for pamering next week .
LOL at phome Nat - I'm exactly the same re: usage, though admit I'll happily pick up a £30 cheapie at supermarket as I never get the damn thing out!
It's STILL raining here, so have got my super bright wellies out of garage, and will team with my super bright Boden raincoat - ok so I'll look like a children's presented but I'll be dry!
DD on the other hand will have to slum it in wellies and brolly as I can't for the life of me find her raincover - arghhh!!!!
Looking forward to hearing about scan GYO ; hi Dal!! Are you non-stinkified yet??

Diege · 05/09/2008 12:52

slovely You know what I mean!!

SesHasapinkline · 05/09/2008 12:56

Hi Diege!
Meant to say thanks for the book recommendation. I'm going to have a look as I think I'll need something!
Still raining here too!
Have managed to wangle working from home today and am currently watching crappy Music and Lyrics! Mindless fun!

calsworld · 05/09/2008 13:34

Hey everyone - I'm now de-stinkified!

What have you bought for DS NJ? I'm stuck for ideas and his birthday seems to be coming round really quick. We didn't spend much on him last year so will probably splurge a bit more this time around.

Also, last year we had a party for him and his 'friends' from swimming at our house, not really sure I could manage that this time around! Too many climbers etc!

GruffaloSoldier · 05/09/2008 13:35

Morning all!

After a days let up of sickness yesterday which sent me in to a panic it appears to be back with avengeance today

I just got home from a morning's nannying to a letter from the hospital to say that I have a scan on Tues at 9am How exciting!

LOL at the hiding behind the tumbleweeds!

Diege I am also plucking up the courage to brave the rain but I just can't bring myself to do it! Its pouring grrr!

Dalrymps · 05/09/2008 13:37

Yes, thanks, I am non-stinkified

Havr just spent ages wiping philidelphia (sp?) off ds as he would rather play with his dinner than eat it

Right off to get ready to actually leave the house cause I ahve to get flour to make a pie.

Hello Everyone

Back from scan. Everything is fine and my nuchal measurement worked out as low risk (they dont do triple test yet in my hosp) at 1:2589.

The little bean- though not really a bean anymore, was jumping all over the place till they tried to measure it then it slumped and wouldnt move so i got sent off to firstly have a wee (massive relief) then when that didnt work I had to go off for caffiene and sugar to try and get it moving!

Anyway- so relieved, actually almost feel shocked.. DH is scanning in the pics as I type so will upload in a moment!

Sorry for me me me post, will now catch up
with everyone ones news!
