Fruity Definately Oscar and I'm not just being polite! I love Jack too but that's my cats name (although your RL name is my other cats name so it would be quite fitting I suppose!) Glad to hear your DP is crap at being a responsible adult like mine too! Why do they think picking up after themselves
Kate Still high, how exciting! Hope you got everything done before your appt x
Scully Hope you have a fab weekend, are you excited about telling someone in RL? Makes it all real!

Well I will be incommunicado all weekend now as broadband still down at home
Will miss you guys x

HeyThereGeorgieGirl · 14/11/2008 16:42

Hello lovely ladies. It's the weekend HHHOOORRRAYYYY. .

Seems as if I've got loads to catch up on again.

Fruity Obviously I won't be going into predicting the sex of babies for a living! Totally got that one wrong didn't I! Love Oscar. Not so sure about Jesse. There was Jesse James. But he was AMerican and I don't think an English Jesse would have quite the same cache! Stick with what you know love. Oh, and use the hormonal pg card as well . Lots of tears and wailing always works!

TeeHee It's you next lovely lady. I can't beleive you have enough self control to not find out. But kudos for wanting it to be a suprise. Good effort on the DIY front as well. And what on earth is going on with your cat? Not really a cat person. least with dogs you can generally catch them out if they've been up to something! It's that hang dog expression that gives them away every time!

Kate Am keeping everything crossed for you this month. Sounds like it's a complete whirlwind in your house. Good to be busy though to take your mind off things. Am v jealous of your lovely weekend. And the chicken pie!

Mollie Men are funny creatures that need to be trained, then re-trained, then given a refresher course and if all else fails, to be shouted at!

Mibbes Are you getting excited? How's the nesting going?!

Scully Byron Bay.....take me with you. PLEASE. Mum and Dad just got back from 6 week trip to OZ. Off to see them with the girls tomorrow so will get avalanched with photo's from the trip. Know what you mean about feeling tired, being 38 and having 2 kids to look after. Hey ho. Wouldn't swap it though. Can't believe you're 5+5. Am only 5 weeks today. oh well. Just as long as it stays where it should for the right amount of time I don't care.

Cricri How did the first solo outing go? It's bloody nerve racking isn't it. Hope DD behaved herself. And hope that the sleep deprivation isn't too bad. Just sleep whenever you can. Sod the house. Everyone else will pitch in.

Sparkly Bet you're going to make a fab teacher. Prob so good that the kids will remember you when they are adults. Bit like Mr Chips. But obviously MRS Chips . I still remember my lovely teacher from junior school called Mrs Gilbert. And they are horrible little germ ridden monsters! Take your vitamins!!!!

Ei How's things with you?

Streatham house coming together. Another week or so and it should be done. Spoke to lawyer friend of mine and she says I have good case against the council and should take them to small claims court to recover some of the costs. It's cost me £3,500 to get house back into working order .

And the good news is that they have finally poured all the concrete for the basement. We have a structure people!!!!!! Woooohoooo. They can actually start building now.

Have a fab and groovy weekend. xxxxxxxxxxx

mibbes · 14/11/2008 16:59

scully am also very of Byron Bay - I loved it there ! That is where I tried surfing

Kate wey hey that is another hot hot hot temp missus - you are on fire !

HTGG good to hear you are more upbeat about the house - hurray !

Mollie get that broadband sorted ASAP, missing your chat

Fruity I was defo not being polite about Oscar - I genuinely wanted it for my baby and think it is so cute but would also suit him as he grows up stick to your guns and DO NOT call him Jesse... please !

Nesting coming along well - managed to clear out the downstairs spare bedroom (at last !) and put up loads of pictures that I'm fed up asking DP to hang ! He'll kill me for climbing on chairs but that will teach him for not doing it when I ask !

HappyandEiknowit · 14/11/2008 21:23

hello lovely ladies
how are you all??
fruity yay a blue one im very very happy for you can you believe this time 6 months ago lady you were so anxious about the whole PCOS situation and were convinced it would never happen for you and look at you blooming and gorgeous now
teehee i cant believe how quickly it has gone for you your scan is looming so close and you are very restrained not finding out the flavour
mollie grrr at your DH FWIW mine is exactly the same it must be a man thing as mine has a laziness routine he drags his arse in from work (before i do) makes a coffee and spills some, he then doesnt clear this up and happily ignores the breakfast dishes, drinks his coffee and leaves the dirty cup on the dining table, kicks his work boots in the middle of the living room floor spattering dried mud across my laminate floor, puts his work clothes in an untidy pile by the kitchen door, mere feet away from the washing machine, puts clean clothes on after a wash leaving suds in the bathroom sink and poo stains in the toilet (eewww) and goes out to his nans to pick sian up i am then expected to get home from work and sort sian out for bed, make our tea and tidy up before i can even take my shoes off i have gently and not so gently discussed this with him in which he promised to pull his weight but never starts to so whats the use in wasting my breath?? (cant you tell this has been a steep and ongoing uphill battle for me??!!)
a huge hello to everyone else
sparkly you are as welsh as i am scouse which is tonnes
hope everyone is doing well on this fabulous friday night
xx ei xx

MollieMooma · 15/11/2008 09:52

Guess what guess what!!????!!!! My broadband is fixed hurray! I am so sad but I really missed not being able to check MN when I wanted to! It was all fixed last night and DH is happy as it means BT Vision is now working too and he can watch Dave all night!
Thanks for sharing that all DH/DP's are as bad as mine! Not sure that it makes me feel better though
CriCri I am using your technique at the moment about telling him how it makes me feel and so far it's working (well for 24 hrs) See how you have slipped into a motherly role already!
Sparkly I think you have lost the welsh argument
kate Temp??
TeeHee Your cat sounds just like our two little monsters
Fruity Jesse
Georgie Fab news about the concrete and hopefully you'll get a good outcome if you take the council to court too, everything is starting to look up for you now my lovely x
Mibbes at you putting up your pictures you are naughty! Sounds as if the nesting has kicked in though, just be careful!
EI Shall we both go on strike and then see what our men do??
Scully Enjoy your weekend
Emmsy Love and hugs

SparklyPseudonym · 15/11/2008 14:56

I've almost finished one of my assignments - on 300 words to go and should be able to fill that with my conclusion - wooohoooo!!

How are you all? I just looked at the last and can't believe I'm on CD29 already-I haven't thought about TTC this month. Took temp this morning to see what it was doing and it was 36.90. Without OPKs/temping I think I may be 11DPO. Don't think I'll be testing though. Don't have any symptoms and not even sure we managed to BD at the right time. Ah well...I'm going to enjoy christmas and then get cracking on #2.
Kate I've planned a birthday theme for w/b 24th and our phonic of the week is 'p' so we're going to have a 'party in the park' and lots more 'p' things so they will know it's my birthday. I had an implantation dip at 10DPO and then triphastic after that. Am keeping everything crossed for you. How is temp today?
Teehee You're going to be knackered if you're working and painting etc. Sit down, please .
Fruity I'm teaching reception so they're 4 and 5. LOL at MIL thinking we're being polite...I really do like Oscar. Put your foot down.
Scully Hope you're having a fantastic time in Byron Bay - I'm very as it's cold and grey today and it looks like it's raining leaves outside.
HTGG Taking vits wouldn't be a bad idea...school are also trying to push me for a flu jab but haven't looked into it and TTC. I think you'd have a good case for small claims. You should def look in to it (but only if it doesn't all become too stressful).
Mibbes Shall we start a count-down? I wonder if you'll have our first boy (our because I obviously have some ownership of your womb?! )
Ei You're not that scouse . How is work going? Any news on the TTC?
Mollie Yey you're back. It'll be easier to have an alcohol free weekend now...I think I may get a bit pissed tonight. Looking forward to xfactor?
Cricri Elise is getting more and more gorgeous. How are things?

Have a great weekend xxxxx

Afternoon ladies

No temp to report today due to booze last night No point taking it after that! I'm assuming it's just cos I've cut down quite a lot on the booze lately, and I think I was quite dehydrated last night, but I feel DREADFUL today Oh well. No booze tonight. I'm tempted to stop drinking altogether for a bit, but I can't stomach the thought of everyone thinking I'm pg...

Scully Byron Bay! How lovely - you're a lucky girl! Really glad to hear you're doing ok xxx

Mollie I'm so glad your broadband is fixed, I've really missed having you around How you doing lovely lady? Please don't forget we're here for you for the downs as well as the ups! Just in case!

Teehee the others are right. You are being very restrained not finding out the flavour. But I really want to know what you're heving and as your scan's on my wedding anniversary that means I get to find out - Don't worry, I won't tell you if you don't want to know

FruitynNutty · 15/11/2008 17:22

Naughty naughty Kate Hope you had a great time!

Sparkly Well done on your assignment
Mibbes Well done on clearing out the downstairs bedroom

Well I'm no closer with this name thing.
DP adamant he doesn't like Oscar He feels the same way I do about the name Oscar about the name Jesse (if that makes sense?)

It's just something else to row about

Why is he so bloody stubborn? Surely as I'm doing all the hard work I should get to choose a bloody name!

Not much input from DS, he says the baby should be called Poo or Poopoonanahead. Utterly useless

teeheelaydee · 15/11/2008 20:17

Hey there girlies. Sparkly Do not worry there will be no painting happening this week as I seem to have been hit with mega sickness (and I mean like something out of the exorcist) Not sure if PG sickness or some kind of bug, but have been in bed for most of day and am back here again. It has sent me into a bit of a spin worrying about the baby but I haven't got high temp. Checked out my Lesley Regan Pregnancy book and she advises rest and fluids for upset tummy. Had a really busy day off on Weds and then 2 horrible and too long days at work (My new boss is horrible - thank god I only have 12 weeks left of work) So looks like I've done it again despite all of you guys ordering me to take it easy.

Mollie Good to have you back although you seem to have opened a can of worms with the DH bashing, Ei you sounded like you had that storing up for a while!! Perhaps you should try Cricri's method it seems to have worked for Mollie! She is a wise mother now you know!!

Georgie Sounds like it's all on the up for you. Slowly you ar getting those stresses crossed off you list. They will be all sorted in time for you to sit on you lilypad and expand!

Scully Byron Bay sounds blissful - I will think of you as it starts getting dark at bloody 3:30

Sparkly Well done of your assignment now sit back enjoy your drink and shout at Louis Walsh to your heart's content. BTW love the way we refer to the PG's on the thread as 'ours'. Speaking of which Kate Do I just give the sonographer your text number or would you like her to leave the room and actually call you.

Fruity Tell your MIL that we are not that nice and just to prove it tell her I really don't like Jesse. I suppose you and DP could have the power of veto OR you could say that as he has decided to sell your home you have decided to call the baby Oscar. Obviously the first idea is more mature but hey you're pregnant -who said you have to be mature

Just updating my weeks on the list - positive thinking and all that.

cricri · 15/11/2008 21:41

Teehee Sorry you're ill Try not to worry about baby - s/he will be getting everything s/he needs, you need to focus on you. Sounds like you're doing all the right things, resting and drinking lots. There seem to be some nasty bugs around at the moment - friends of ours were due to come over last Sunday and had to cancel because their DD had been sick the day before and they'd both spent the night being sick. Yuck!
Mollie Glad the technique is working on your DH. Hope it continues! Pleased you've got your broadband back too. I know I'd be lost without mine, especially at the moment as it's my link to the outside world when I'm glued to my armchair
Kate Hope you're feeling better this evening - sounds like it was a good night
Fruity lol at your DS's name suggestions Hope you manage to agree on a name with DP - plenty of time yet. Teehee's suggestion sounds good though
Sparkly Well done with the assignment. Glad the placement is going well although I don't envy you having to deal with a reception class! I could never have been a teacher - not enough patience. I'm happy to coach trampolining for a few hours a week but that's because the kids actually want to be there and learn (well, most of the time!). I'm sure motherhood is going to test my patience to the limits!
Georgie So pleased you're finally getting somewhere with your building work. Our little extension is nearly finished - tiling and doors next week and then it's just the plumbing to go and a couple of electrical bits. Should be finished before Christmas!
All going well here, no outing yesterday in the end because my friend had to cancel at the last minute. We've rescheduled for Monday. Had some visitors today and some more tomorrow so that will be nice. We had a better day of feeding - Elise actually slept between feeds rather than feeding non-stop for hours on end which is good. I'm going to try not to give her a top-up of formula tonight and see how it goes...
Hope everybody is having a good weekend - I must admit I'm very of Scully being at Byron bay! Especially on a grey day like today.

VJay · 16/11/2008 11:28

Hello ladies, I'm currently on the Emmys thread over on the mc forum, and you all sound like us back over there, only a few months ahead. It's so nice. I had my second mc 4 weeks ago, the first one was in June, and I'm waiting for af.....We have decided to wait until after Christmas before trying again, but I feel so ready now. I think we'll wait at least for the first af. After the first mc we waited 2 cycles, then got pregnant, but have you any advice on this, I'm not sure whether it matters, I've been told to wait for 1 period, I've also been told to wait for 3, and my Nan, bless her, told me to wait a year!

teeheelaydee · 16/11/2008 21:51

Quiet in here today, hope that means you are all having lovely weekends. I, however am still in bed, felt a bit better today but then still threw up when ate anything more substantial than toast!! Needless to say no work for me tomorrow (My new boss is horrid so she'll be delighted - oh well they shouldn't make me stay so late!)

Cricri Thanks - you always make me feel reassured. Good luck for you outing, let us know how long it takes us to get out of the house and it sound like Elise is getting into some sort of a routine (wonder how long it will last - 2/3 days?)

Mollie You get your broadband back and then abandon us!! I hope the lack of internet didn't get you used to being without us.

Mibbes If you are going to be mad at least get some steps - get off the chair woman! You're centre of gravity is not what it was.

Kate How can you even contemplate giving up booze before Christmas - mind you you may have too in a week or so.......

Fruity BTW love Jack and it goes well with Charlie so there are alternatives to Oscar/Jessegate.

Vjay I think when to TTC depends on how you feel and whether you are ready, I have seen people on MN who have got pg just a couple of weeks after m/c and it's all gone fine. My only advice is make sure you are ready as it might happen quicker than you expect - did with us and for my 3rd pg I wasn't ready in myself so 3rd m/c hit even harder, but everyone is different

Big hellos to everyone else, hope no-one is too traumatized by X-factor/Stricly!!

scully · 17/11/2008 01:37

Hi ladies, would have written on here last night but we had a big storm hit Brisbane and lost power for 4hrs At least no big trees came down around here, they did in other parts though. Had a great weekend too, did exactly what I planned, alternated between the pool and the beach and had takeaway for dinner Sat night and Sun lunch, felt like we'd been away longer than 2 days
Hope you're feeling better soon Teehee, stuff your boss, stay at home as long as you need to.
Welcome back Mollie, I hate it when our broadband doesn't work, feel cut off from the world without a computer.
Back away from the chair Mibbes, but know what you mean about waiting a lifetime for things to be done
That was a big vent Ei Hard to understand though how they can't realise the mess they are making and that the fairies won't clean it up
6wks tomorrow I think, going to see the gp tomorrow morning and will be requesting a scan at 8wks, to check on everything. Feeling nauseas this morning, but won't be taking a whole lot of notice of symptoms until a scan tells me that things are on track.
Hope everyone has a good week

kate2179 · 17/11/2008 15:47

Afternoon all.

Well Teehee you're not the only one holed up in bed I've either poisoned myself or got a bug... Woke up at about 3am, couldn't work out why for a moment, then realised it was cos I felt sick. REALLY sick. Laid very still til about 7am (fun fun fun ) then got up and showered. Then had to go and lie down cos I thought I was going to pass out. Fell asleep til 9am then woke up feeling much better, so went to court. Enter stage left Mr Ronnie Relapse... Ug. Just about got through the hearings, then home and straight to bed. Haven't actually been sick, though have been to the loo a few more times than I'd like due to stomach cramps etc... RUBBISH!!

I can't believe this has any relation to anything pgcy related, although in my silliest most worried moments the words Molar Pregnancy have popped into my head. Can someone please tell me I'm being silly? I'm only 7DPO FFS! Surely I wouldn't be aware of anything at this stage... would I?!? [crazy-madwoman emoticon] Then there's my other happy happy thought involving salmonella/listeria and miscarriage...

Anyway.

Teehee I hope you're starting to feel better. Please don't worry about your bean. You're far enough on now for your bean to be well established. A friend of mine got a really bad cold quite late in her pgcy, her midwife told her not to worry, and that no matter how awful she felt, or how little she was eating, as long as she wasn't getting dehydrated, her "little parasite" (mw's words, not mine ) would be just fine. Baby is now 8mths old and just fine, and youre will be too! BTW I'm happy with either of the options you suggested for your scan, whichever is more convenient for you is fine by me!

Scully I'm so about your weekend, but very for you as well, sounds like just what you needed! I love those rare weekends that feel like an actual holiday, hopefully should set you up for a good long time. Also quite pleased to hear about the nausea iyswim!

Hi Vjay, sorry to hear what you've been through. It's probably not much comfort, but the more I look into this the less guarantee there seems to be that things will be ok no matter how long you wait. I suppose the flip side of this is that there's no more reason to think you'll have another mc if you fall pg today, tomorrow, next month or in 6 months time. Have you read Lesley Regan's book on mc? You might find it helpful. Otherwise you could investigate alternative therapies like acupuncture and if you find a therapist you trust then put your faith in them re when nto tart trying. Doesn't seem there are any easy answers on this one, but if you find any would you please let me know?!?

Cricri so glad to hear you're approaching the end of building hell, and that DD is thriving DH sanded our hall floor yesterday. I wantd to kill myself. Seriously. () THE DUST!! Oh my god the dust...

Fruity you can't call him Jesse. You just can't, it wouldn't be fair! What's on the list apart from Jack? When I think of Oscar I always think of Felix as well, those are the names of the sons of a woman I work with...

How you doing Ei - how's your DH? you testing this week if TEW keeps away? I'll test on sunday if temp's still high and she hasn't come to stay round my house... Think I'm reasonably relaxed about it Obv I'll be gutted if I'm not pg and terrified if I am, but what will be will be

Sparkly well done on your assignment! You're going to be such a fab teacher! Thanks for your chart info. I think the hardest thing is that we all know there are no guarantees no matter what you chart does... VERY high temp this morning, but I was expecting that after such a disturbed night last night. Hopefully I'll have a better night tonight and gt a proper reading tomorrow...

Oi! Mollie! where are you? What's the point in a fixed broadband if youo're not on here at all hours of the day and night?

to everyone else, I think this mammoth post is long enough aready!

VJay · 17/11/2008 16:43

Hi kate I have read Lesley Regans book and found it very interesting, I don't think there is any answers regarding how long to wait, if a mc is going to happen then it will. We will probably wait until after Christmas as planned, and enjoy the festivities and booze yey!

VJay · 17/11/2008 17:03

I've just re-read my posts, I do sound very confused. In the first one I want to ttc now, and this last one I'm waiting until after Christmas, so I think that's my answer....wait!

mibbes · 17/11/2008 19:18

Kate yes you are being silly worrying like that ! I had a headache at about 3/4 dpo but not much else until implantation as far as I can remember - have you been obsessing on the 2ww website - I was terrible at doing that ! Your bug sounds nasty - rest mi lady ! Oh there is a shop in Glasgow called 'Felix and Oscar' - were your friend's boys named after a shop ?! Good to hear your temp is still high

VJay welcome to the thread. I am no expert on mc as have been lucky enough not to have experienced one. I reckon waiting is the right thing to do if that is what you feel. You can enjoy xmas and NY then go on TTC detox in Jan

scully good news about nausea iykwim

cricri hello mummy ! I'll be looking to you for guidance soon missus

teehee hope you are feeling better xx

Ei testing tomorrow .... how exciting !

Well we have had a nightmare weekend as showerroom started leaking again (we thought it was fixed) so DP ended up ripping down the ceiling in to see what the problem was (we have a Victorian house and a load of 'ye olde' insulation came tumbling down - it is sand and ash so made a terrible mess) - once he had diagnosed the problem he had to remove some of the wood panelling from my lovely upstairs bathroom . Just when I'm trying to feather my nest 2 of the rooms are wrecked and my bath is out of action so no bathing away early labour pains until we get it sorted arrgghhhh...!

teeheelaydee · 17/11/2008 19:25

Kate As it's been so quiet in here I was going to reassure everyone that my bug can't be caught via the internet -it's not that kind of virus BUT now that you have been struck down I'm not so sure.

Thanks for your reassurance, I phoned the midwife today as it has now been 3 days but she said just keep doing what I am and much like you said as long as I keep the fluids up baby will be fine. So drink plenty and I am officially telling you to stop PANICKING.

Hey guess what I think I've felt some movement over the last 2 days, it was like a gentle flick/bubble burst on both sides a couple of times yesterday and on one side today. It only happens a couple of times and I lie there thinking "Oh come on do it again so I can be sure"

Just had a look at the list and me thinks some of you might be testing soon? Ei Kate & maybe even Sparkly Or are you all going to be controlled and amazingly sensible. xx

teeheelaydee · 17/11/2008 19:31

Mibbes x-posts, what a nightmare with your bathroom. Can DH sort it or will it require the dreaded workmen? It would stress me at the best of times but at your time, what an absolute pain.

SparklyPseudonym · 17/11/2008 19:33

Only me quickly as I'm writing up a proposal and it's taking bloody ages.
Anyone know anything about KwaZulu-Natal?

I tested this pm (to keep a mate company...) and it was an Asda homebeand test. I don't think AF is due until at least tomorrow but I could see a line in the test result box straight away but when DP came home I really, really, really had to squint to see it....he wants me to wait a few days before testin again and I'm happy to do that (maybe). Good luck to Kate and Ei.

OP posts:
mibbes · 17/11/2008 19:40

OMG Sparkly that sounds very promising missus ! Are you going to manage to heed DH and hold on for a few more days ... or are you tesing again soon ?... [tenterhooks emoticon]

teehee great news that you are feeling the wee bean move !

teeheelaydee · 17/11/2008 19:47

Oh Sparkly I wouldn't be able to wait, I would probably test asap and then pretend I had waited and test for DP's benefit in a few days, not that I've done anything of the sort in the past

SparklyPseudonym · 17/11/2008 19:53

I'm not sure if it does though....I might have just imagined it. ARGGGHHH.

Feel really guilty for the me, me, me post.

Mibbes Am sorry to read about house problems and really hope things are sorted so you can take some time to relax. How many days left?
Teehee Keep resting and listen to advice from midwife. So lovely that you're feeling beanie move. Is your scan next week? Are you going to find out the flavour?
Kate Hope you're feeling better soon too. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about as there seem to be so many bugs around at the moment. Are you using FF to chart? Can I peek if you are?
Scully Am so you had such a great time. Hope you're feeling ok.
Cricri You sound as though you're coping brilliantly at the moment. The first weeks are def the hardest. Get lots of rest whenever you can. Thinking of you and your beautiful girl.

Evening lovely ladies.

Sparkly OMG. Test, test, test . Fingers crossed for you doll. Let's hope there's a BFP waiting for you.

Mollie Come back. You're just teasing us aren't you?!?!? Did you have a good weekend?

Scully Your w/e sounds blissful. Would kill for some sunshine, warm weather and a dip in the sea. Hope the MS holds off for you. Some days I feel worse than others. But like you, not reading too much into it.

Kate Poor you. Sounds dreadful. Least you didn't 'ralph' all over the judge in court . Rest up and take it easy. plenty of fluid and daytime tv.

TeeHee How you feeling today? I was told by nurse in the USA that when you're being v sick it's helpful to try and replace lost minerals. Miso soup v good, easy to digest and full of minerals/nutrients. I love it. But understand it's an acquired taste. Bit like marmite! Take it easy lady.

Vjay Hi and welcome. This is a great thread. We've pretty much been thru everything here. So don't be shy!

Ei Are you testing soon? Hope the rant let you get some steam off your chest. men are bugger sometimes. Bit like kids really aren't they. Maybe you should try putting him on the anughty step and taking his beer way. That might sort him out .

Nothing much to report from me. Had lovely w/e with my folks. First time I've seen them in 7 weeks as they've been on a trip to OZ. Mollie and Libby really loved seeing them again. Got spoilt rotten. DH spent w/e at home on his own. So he owes me a spa day!!!

Off to watch Indian cookery programme on BBC2. Makes my mouth water!
