The addictable wagoners are welcoming some lovely newbies and enjoying seeing some oldies return! Thread for those waiting to ttc, those ttc now and graduates alike!

[SesHasapinkline]

Here we are on another new thread! Let's hope it's a lucky one

Glask "just couldn't not post IYKWIM??" Ooooh you've got MNitus baaaaad

Well have done the 'how we grow' talk thing - oh what fun DS2 loved it though, he spent the whole time playing in the water table!

It is absolutely blowing a gale out there, I had to carry him up there, he couldn't stand up against the wind.

Had some more of the nursery accessories delivered just before we went (literally was going out of the door and the van pulled up!) I can't wait for the furniture to arrive so I can put it all out

Defo glask, join the mini wait for scans.

Better not have a list as its really a TTC thread but we can mentally wait in the waiting room together!

OMG Nat about wind! poor DS!

Ooooh that reminds me, there is a AN wagon thread floating around somewhere, will go and knock the cobwebs off it...

Ok thanks Nat.... its got very dusty I think!

Wagon AN thread

Maybe who ever starts the new thread could put a link to the AN thread in the first post, then we won't keep forgetting about it. And any of the TTC'ers pissed off with pg talk tell us to bugger off!

Evening! Have a horrendous migraine, and had to leave work early it got so bad Thinking it may be a sign that af is on its way, though not due till Monday (cd 23) and normally get menstrual migraine 24 hrs before. Have also just been to loo and had pink spot of blood, but nothing else. Feel rotten, and not into 'analysing' it all, so will just wait and see when af turns up! Have had cramps on and off all day, so maybe cycle still sorting itself out .
Sorry for 'me' post - am peering at the screen through screwed up eyes as light is blinding..!!!! Early one for me I think as have a 6am start.
Speak tomorrow! xxx

Oh and I'm not at all pissed off with pregnancy talk - it keeps me going on my quest

Hi Diege
Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly. Hope you get a good nights rest for your 6am start tomorrow.

Evening!

Thanks for all the messages!

Sorry for your migraine Diege, hopefully a good night sleep will sort it out. I can def sympathise with you, I have been getting them quite a lot recently.

Me and Dh have been busy telling everyone our news today, which I have enjoyed!

hope everyone has had a nice day - despite miserable weather!

Hi Gruff! What a fab day for you - lovely scan and sharing your news! Lots of all round!

Diege - hope your migraine clears up.

Thanks Ses, it will be your turn before you know it! between my 8 week scan and 12 week scan the time has just flown! So Im sure it will soon come round for you too

Morning! Hope everyone is well and happy - the weather is beautiful here! Feeling much better thanks - just a woosy faint headache now so should be able to manage teaching through that! Fell asleep at 9, then woke 5.30 so the longest sleep I've had in a while!
Feeling really crampy this morning, and no more spotting . A tiny bit of me thinks could this have been an implantation bleed? (it was 9 days after ovulation)It was literally a single spot/smudge on tissue, so not sure this would count anyway. I've only had this once before about 3 years ago and it turned out to be a chemical pregnancy, so not getting my hopes up!
Right, off for a cuppa with colleague - speak later

Morning Diege

Glad you are feeling better.... your spotting/ cramping does sound odd- guess time will tell. How far away from a testing would you be in AF doesnt start?

I'm in the office but about to go home. Got a really nasty cold thing that has gone to my lungs... so off home to bed once ive sorted out my meetings.... wish I'd figured this out before leaving home at 6.15am!

Oh no GYO!!! At least you've shown your face though - I always feel redeemed when I've tried to go in but have had to admit defeat! Hopeing you feel better after a day at home
Af is due Monday-ish, give or take a few days each way. I'll probably test a week on Wed if no af, but don't think I'll get that far if I'm honest. Had a postive opk on cd 13, so assume cycle will be 30 days-ish. Will keep the wagon informed if I do a sneaky early test/af arrives early!

gyo - poor you being poorly
hope you get better soon

Hi,

Wow Tink- all those clothes are fab, must be lovely to chose things for the new DD

Do you have much more to get now before the birth? What is your due date?

Diege- think of you while you wait. Sorry its so unknown for you.

Home now and on sofa under a nice warm blanket. Its bliss. I definately feel good for showing face at the office but boss was still arse about important bit of work I cant do. He wants to hand it over and cant now until Im back. He said go home but managed to induce a lot of guilt - barely looked me in eye. Made me really cross given that I felt jolly rotten a lot in early Preg but didnt take any time off for it.

hi gyo

glad that u r home and snuggled with blanket the best way to get better.
men i dont know!!

it is great to buy bits for new dd have been waiting to find out gender for so long
dd had new newborn went straight to 0-3 month clothes thinking that she wouldnt fit into them she was petite.
have 4 outfits,sleepsuits and vests in 0-3 months
only need to buy - changing table - want to get a plastic one on wheels with all the shelves to store nappies, cream etc.
got fed up of kneeling down on the floor to change dd when a baby!!
a few more clothes will prob get another pack of short sleeved vests and another pack of sleepsuits with feet.
maybe a coat for baby cant decide if i will need one know that it will be cold have footmuff for the maxicosi cabrio as will be using it on quinny frame. she has jumpers.
will get 2 pairs of trousers and more tops as they will soon get covered in sick, dribble etc.
also going to get a mobile for cot.
i am due 15th of jan - 26 weeks tom

Its all so exciting Tink. For you and the stuff NJ has been getting together! Cant wait for the first wagon babies to arrive!!

So good you are so organised especially with xmas being in the way

Is your DD1 excited about having a little sister?

I was going to have an 'on the floor' changing station but have since heard it makes things much hard esp just after birth so your idea of a trolley with shelves is great idea!

I was planning to wait til after xmas to do nursery, buy big items/clothes etc (when Im 31+ weeks. Hope that isnt too late! Dh is very busy til the week before xmas (doing dissertation for his masters course) so no time to do anything much before then, and he needs to focus on that not the baby!)

Those clothes sound gorgeous TINKS . Had a browse around Primark in my lunchbreak and thought of you as there's some gorgeous baby girls stuff and really resonable too .
GYO. I think 31 weeks should be fine to buy stuff, but do remember that some of the bigger nursery items and prams etc usually need to be ordered and can take up to 12 weeks. If I were you I'd get going sooner rather than later, but then I am of the TINK/NAT school of retail

hi

gyo ye dd is exciting
diege - nice that u thought of me - went back to tesco to get dd out of the house -

got blue dungarees with white flowers on
pack of 4 long sleeved tops
red courdroy trousers
beige courdroy trousers
another pck of sleepsuits and vests

not going to get anything else now until next slae on 27th of dec if i can manage to get there

Got those blue dunagrees in the end then eh

Thanks Diege. Good point about delivery times... I will look into it.

I would normally also be of the Tink/Diege/Nat variety of organised purchasing but apart from superstition I dont want to put my DH under pressure re things to think about. He has been studying for for last 2yrs (as well as full time work)and he is finding it hard going getting finished when the baby is there to be thought of!

I plan to have a jolly good look around and ensure I know what we need to get and also check delivery times but keep it to myself. Then bombard him on the way home from handing it in his thesis! (ok so I might wait til he's had a beer or two

Will start looking properly after the 20wk scan. I feel an excel spreadsheet coming on. Im such a spreadsheet geek

Worried Nat got blown away yesterday collecting DS. She did say she might do if she didnt re-appear!???!

PMSL GYo, no not quite

Helloooooooo

Tink good shopping! I was going to say it's a shame we don't live closer we could have gone baby shopping together, but for the sake of DH's bank account, it is probably a good job we don't!!

Diege sorry for head/cramps/spots, fingers crossed it will turn out good in the end

GYo, also hope you're feeling better soon. Don't do the changing on the floor thing, some people can do it no other way but your back after.... especially once they are wriggling round a bit and you have to try and keep them still at the same time as changing.... and if you have a boy, they have a pre-programmed PITA trait that says every time you take their nappy off, no matter how quick you are, they will wee everywhere, much easier to clear up a changer unit than the carpet (and have your brolly at the ready!! )

Have been into town, got DS2 some more books so will no doubt be back in by the end of the week trying to even out the pressie piles, again I should learn.

LOL Phew! glad you werent windswept Nat! Are you doing xmas shopping?

Good advice re it being a boy and needing a rain mac! WIll look at solutions that will fit in our tiny baby room.
