Hi all

Just popping in to say a quick hi after a long absence and very, very to see your good news, HC!

A few new names on here - good luck and congrats as relevant.

I'm coming up to 38 weeks now, baby boy is due on 4th March. Feeling absolutely massive and tired but otherwise fine. First day of mat leave today so back on MN! It's also first day of half term though so DS will be keeping me busy too!

Hugs to all.

Wow Wellies-only seems like yesterday that you got a BFP. Congratulations on having a boy.

Good morning all, hope you all had a good weekend

Got a letter from my doctor today, referal has been made to Carlisle hospital, and she wants me to book in with the nurse around day 21-24 for blood test and DH has to do semen sample also, so here we go again, maybe third time lucky at Carlsisle seen as though the biological clock is now ticking, in the past there was nothing they would do as we were both fine and already had a son !! This is the fourth time we've been refered to hospital, after lots of investigations and both of us being ok they always sent us away to 'just keep trying' ...When you have conceived a child naturally they are not interested. Maybe now, 14 years down the line and getting older, maybe...Just maybe they will help us on our way ?

Much love

D xx

Things are moving in the right direction Dawni.

Very quiet on here today !! Have been a good girl and spent an hour in the gym, ive gained 4lb over the last few weeks comfort eating and i hate myself for it....but the first thing i do when down is reach for the bickies and dchocolate i just have no self control !!

D xx

WOW has everyone left home !!!!!

Good for you Dawni- I had to go to work! And tomorrow I've got to brave the rush-hour commute with a pushchair. Eek.

Hi all xxx

Hi. Sorry I have been gone - chicken pox has been really bad but DS2 is over it now

Wellies - lovely to hear from you!

MJIM - sorry Naomi has a cold I think second children catch more off the first iwswim. DS2 always catches what DS1 brings back from school.

HC - glad you are OK

Dawni - glad you have got a referral. I was told to do the blood test on day 21 - based on a 30 day cycle. If you are ovulating early it should be detected. How's your DH bearing up?

CE - are you de-mob happy yet?

Bellie - poor Orin. Top tip - put a towel over the top end of his cot/crib a bit like a drawer sheet and then if he is sick all you have to do is whip it off and replace it with another rather than changing the whole bed. I have loads of white towels for this pupose as DS2 had reflux. You can just bung them all in on a boil wash after.

Well, I am sat here at 5 + 2 feeling absolutely fine and getting really paranoid about the fact. I don't feel remotely nauseaous, my boobs are slightly sore and obviously AF is a no-show. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Morning ladies

Everyone OK? It is very quiet on here at the moment.

Nothing to report except MS. Ew!

Anyone in the 2ww and nearly testing?

Morning all

Just checking in as at work yesterday - hope everyone is well.

Willmouse - I have had next to no pg symptoms, and while I can identify with the paranoia of not having any, do try and relax and enjoy not feeling ill . I didn't have any ms or anything with dd either, so I look at as a good thing!! No 2 pg's are the same so don't fret.

HC - hope you're feeling better soon

Dawni - am v impressed with you being down the gym. I am out looking for a wii fit today for dh's birthday, so I'm kidding myself I'll be able to do some exercise on that

Morning all - I honestly don't know where the time goes!

Dawni glad the hospital are taking you seriously - the fact you already have one child shouldn't matter! Good luck

CE wow, not long to go now. I met my friend yesterday who is due around the same time as you - she already has a 3 year old and is finding it hard - plus she is working up until she is 37 weeks - she must be mad!!

MJIM glad you got a better night's sleep! We have all had a cold aswell - Josh picks them up at nursery and then kindly shares them with us all

Willmouse glad the pox have left your house - I so feel for you as it is a real nightmare! With Sam I didn't get any pg symptoms till I was about 7 weeks - then the nausea struck

Had a nightmare evening last night - I was trying out the new bedtime routine to try and get Sam in his cot in the evening rather than downstairs with us. It all worked fine - Sam was upstairs by 7.15, never heard another peep out of him until the alarm went off at 6.45 this morning - was great. But Josh was a whole other story!! I put him to bed at 7.30 as usual, he wouldn't stay in bed so I tried the 'back to bed' stuff that Supernanny uses (which has worked before) - Josh found it hilarious and was showing no signs of flagging! So by 8.30, I was starving as I hadn't had any tea so I gave up and just left him upstairs by himself. He stood on the landing at the stair gate crying for about 15 minutes and then put himself to bed....I felt so guilty though All I wanted to do was give him a cuddle but I know that would just make things worse! The good news is that he slept until I woke him up at 7 this morning and only got up once in the night (and I don't think he was even half-awake then so he went straight back to bed).

Ooh that was a bit of an essay Josh is usually good at bedtime so I have no idea what was wrong with him

Morning all,

Mammoth post coming as I haven't been on here for a few days!!

HC, in a way, glad about the MS, but also not, for you!! How many weeks are you this week? Hopefully it will start to ease soon!!

Wilmouse, the only time that I ever really had any nausea was when I was in the car, other than that, wouldn't have known I was PG either time, so I wouldn't worry too much. Although it is difficult not to, I know... I'm sure it will be fine. Glad the Chicken Pox is out of the way - it's yucky... Good job they got it young though, is much worse if you get it when you're older!!

Pureandpearls, yuck!! Rush-hour with a pushchair - doesn't sound much fun at all!!

Dawni, so pleased about your referral, it's about time they took it seriously isn't it?!! And well done you for going to the gym!! I can't stand the gym I have to say. It always seems like such a good idea - but that's as far as it gets with me - a good idea!!

MJIM, hope you had a better night again with Naomi, it's horrid when they have a cold and probably won't help the sleeping!! Normally I'm an 8 hours a night sort of girl, so I'm not looking forward to that dramatic change. A novelty for about a week I'm sure but no doubt that wears off quickly!!

Bellie, Congratulations on the arrival of Orin!! Sounds quite traumatic but you all got through it safely which is great news!! Shame he's a bit sickly though, poor little mite. Great advice from Willmouse though - I'll be filing that into my "Handy Tips for when Jelly's born" file in my brain (which will no doubt have turned to mush by then...).

CE, how are you doing hun? How much longer have you got to go, I'm losing track!!

Waves to everyone else, apologies to those that I've missed!!

Not much news here. Nursery is now fully fitted out with new Ikea furniture and decorated. I'll try and get some pics on soon.

DH has his sister, niece and nephew here until tomorrow so the house is a bit mad. Glad I'm working to be honest...

My sis had a 25 week scan on Friday as they're concerned that her baby is very big and they estimate that he is already 2lb 2!! Eek... So they've said that if he continues to grow at that rate, they may need to deliver him at 36 weeks. She's got another scan booked for 30 weeks.

Anyway, it's really quiet at work at the moment and DH has taken his family out to see all his other family this afternoon, so I'm going to make the most of it and catch up on my Whitechapel from last night and have my lunch!!

Hope you're all Ok.

Ceebee, sorry I missed you - I'd been writing that post since 9am and only got around to sending it - hence I missed yours!! How strange with Josh? I can imagine how you must have felt though but well done for not giving in!! It must be so hard and I'm not looking forward to that stuff, but it has to be done. Hurrah for Sam though - what a gem!!

Detox, glad you're not suffering with MS, I didn't either so I was very lucky!! Little Jelly is kicking for most of the time now and last night it was enough to hinder my falling asleep which has never happened before. But then she's one week older tomorrow so maybe she's getting excited about her "Pre-birth-day" she'll be terribly upset when she's born and we only celebrate it once a year!!

MJIM, sorry about the cross-posts!! Also sorry that you've caught Naomi's cold - glad that she had a better night though - long may it continue!!

xx

I would have picked the first one MJIM as it is so cute. We need a new one as the old one is so torn but I need giraffes on it. Sorry about the colds.

My doppler has arrived today [excited emoticon] Think I'm just hearing the placenta or my heartbeat as only 7+5 but still good fun. Have made an appointment with the MW for the 5th March and I shall be 10 weeks that day.

Ceebee-you did the right thing you know and Josh soon got fed up with you not playing the game didn't he. Bless him.

Had some pancakes at 11am so hoping the stodge will stop the nausea for a few hours.

MJIM I think they are both lovely. If I had a girl, I would deffo have gone for the first one though - it is SO cute!! Are you going to reveal which one you did go for??

We also need a new highchair - my parents bought us a lovely wooden one for Josh but DH had a look at it in the garage a few weeks ago and it is covered in mould and really disgusting - I also don't think it was actually that comfortable (just stylish!) so we are going for comfort this time round. The second one of MJIM's links in blue looks quite comfy.

Dawn hope your sis is ok - at least they are monitoring it and taking action - would it be an induced birth or a c/s? How lovely that you are having your babies together

HC pancakes...yum! No pancakes for me though....not sure if I have mentioned it but I have lost a stone since Christmas - am well chuffed! Only another 2 and a half to go

myjobismum- I'd have gone for the second- I'm always on the lookout for a brgain. Besides, once it's covered in babygoo, thay all look the same anyway

Hi all- feeling a bit low at the mo...a friend has just become pg and whilst I am utterly delighted for her I'm gutted for myself. I'm feeling a little selfish and sorry for myself, but nearing CD-bonk so will keep you posted!

HI

Thanks for the reassurance - I will try and feel less paranoid now. I have been out today and bought another expensive digital test to do tomorrow. Last week it said 2-3 weeks since conception so tomorrow it should say 3 weeks+

MJIM - I think the ice creams would get on your nerves after a while. The one you have chosen is a bargain and I bet it will be better quality too. Plus the ice creams on the tray would have scratched/come off and then look scruffy. I am quite anal so that would never do!

HC - why does your highchair have to have a giraffe on it? are you still on Mummy and her Baby Giraffe?! DC 3 is going to reuse DS2's room which is decked out in that. DS2 gets a big bedroom!

Good afternoon lovely ladies, its been busy today, thought you'd all buggered off and left me yesterday !!!!!

Puree Sorry your feeling down hun, totally get ya though, keep your chin up xx

MJIS I loved the first high chair, very pink but the second one is nice also, just a bit quieter ! Sorry to here Naomi has been sharing xx

DawnAS Pleased to hear you are well, must be so nice to be pregnant same time as your sis, you will be able to share so much xx

CeeBee I remember doing that when Michael was just little and it broke my heart, i used to sit and cry but he was always fine the next morning and didnt seem to bother, i was the one feeling like poop !! xx

Detox DS is talking about getting a Wii, and he said i should get the fitness game, dont think id do it at home, its too close to the sofa !! xx

Willmouse Enjoy not throwing up, i had a brilliant pregnancy with DS, sailed through the whole thing and was still decorating the day i went into labour !! God knows what will happen next time i eventually get my BFP !!! Thanks for asking about DH, he was in so much pain last night he nearly threw up, the veins in his head were protruding and he was very red, never slept at all, i managed a few hours before work, poor thing looks dreadfull today, he is at the gym designing a website for the owner to keep himself busy, he is point blank refusing any medication because he wants his sperm to be drug free, i feel awful but he wont have it any other way !!xx

HC Pleased you got your doppler, it'll be brill when your further on you will have it permanently attatched like an iPod xx

Big hello to everyone else, hope your all well [smile)
