GracieGirl · 24/06/2009 01:51

BakingQueen I'm sorry AF arrived. But well done for being positive.

Waves to neeko.

Pacing the floors again.........

iggypiggy · 24/06/2009 09:53

Morning all!

I am busy this week - have lots to do before week away... and am feeling my usual despair about my job (basically I am bored and my boss is a nightmare - but on the upside is v. close to home, well paid, non-stressful and 9-5, so can always be home early etc.) Feeling bit trapped... but am hoping that this will be my month! And am also going to apply for other jobs - cos hanging around in case I get PG is silly isn't it?

Sorry about AF bakingqueen but you do sound positive.

Welocme back MLS

Hi gracie, neeko mermaid 4ever curly jools barbie and everyone else

Neeko · 24/06/2009 09:55

Morning.
Sorry you were up again last night Gracie. Hope you are going to get doc to extend that sick line. Please tell Kate I'm thinking of her. Don't want to text her and intrude on her space.

Bakingqueen Sorry AF got you but enjoy your busy social life over next few weeks.

Just realised I'm actually a day further on than I thought so I'll update the list.

Neeko · 24/06/2009 09:56

Morning Iggy The job sounds perfect when you're a mum though

iggypiggy · 24/06/2009 10:02

neeko it is sadly... is a lovely place to work with great people (with a few notable exceptions!)... and I am lucky - but I do get bored easily (hence excessive internet use ) That's why I sort of think I should stay... but could end up here forever at this rate!

DH thinks my job makes me depressed cos I don't enthuse about work anymore (sadly I used to!)

Anyway - how are you today? When you starting your BD fest? Later on I guess?

Neeko · 24/06/2009 10:07

We've already started because of my bizarre cycle last time I've no idea when I'll ovulate and I don't want to use opks this month and increase the pressure.(Though I will sneakily use one if I note lots of EWCM) We're both up for BDing every other day and because I'll be on holiday I should be less stressed. Both times I've been pregnant before happened during a holiday so fingers crossed.
What about you? Do you have a battle plan this month?

Hey mermaid how did the attack go? Or are you still sleeping it off?

iggypiggy · 24/06/2009 11:04

Well - am thinking of starting tonight... then on holiday from Sat for a week and Sat is CD10 - so that should be a good week for BD action! thinking of trying OPKs as have them at home, so can just do them each day to see..

VJaybigpants · 24/06/2009 11:12

Morning ladies, not had much time to be on here lately, the iron tablets are starting to work and I'm starting to feel better, but I'm trying to get all my course work finished asap. I've got 3 more weeks left of study, then I can finish off my assignments and start revising, and as ds breaks up from school next Thursday I've been frantically getting the course work finished. Can't wait till next Monday when I finally finish work, I am so ready for it. Also can't believe I have only 9 WEEKS TO GO!!!!!!!! It's getting scarily close now, but I am very excited now to meet this lo.

OP posts:
mermaidspurse · 24/06/2009 11:25

vjay you are sounding bionic 9 weeks Don't do too much though, hope your back is ok.

morning iggy and neeko am going to ban everyone from mentioning the word holiday cos I am

bringing me nicely on to mls with brown arms and french bread humpf. come and tell us you had a lovely time and that you feel fine etc

gracie I am hopeful that when I get up for breakfast one of these days that I don't see an insanely early morning post from you.

barbie hope you have managed to get the head honcho to let you have early maternity leave, thinking of you.x

I expect you can tell from my various humpfs that I am not in a post anything mood...
never mind extra evil plotting will have to start

Joolsiam · 24/06/2009 11:29

Morning all

Welcome back MLS

Glad the iron tablets are working Vjay

I had a very very vivid dream last night - quite complicated but the wierdest bit was seeing myself pregnant, with a little tum, so not far along, and then seeing myself pacing a house, waiting to go into established labour and the feelings of nervousness and worry about being a good mum were just so clear, it has freaked me out a bit Is this a premonition ?

mermaidspurse · 24/06/2009 11:37

yes

Neeko · 24/06/2009 11:50

Hi Vjay Of course you're too busy studying to get this message The nine weeks will fly. By the time DS goes back to school your baby will almost be ready to meet the world and you'll be a family of four. Yay!

mermaid what happened to the new undies?

jools sounds a lovely dream and I'm certain it's a premonition. There'll be no one on the small pants list by August 1st.

Iggy relax lots on holiday and enjoy because it's quite clearly going to be the last one you have entirely alone

OK today's job is to tidy out my filing cabinets. Yesterday's cupboard tidy went so well I almost took a photo and posted it on my profile

MLS You only went to catch up on the thread 24 hours ago. Where are you? We don't talk THAT much, do we?

GracieGirl · 24/06/2009 12:01

Yes definitely a premonition Jools

Vjay you sound very full of energy this morning, pleased to hear the iron tablets are doing the trick!

I've spoken to the doctor this morning and he's given me another week's sick note and says to ring again next week if I need one. I feel bad being off work, but don't think I have the energy for a one hour shift never mind a 12.5 hour shift.

Iggy that is a very well timed holiday! fingers crossed that you're pregnant before you get chance to send off any application forms!

Neeko I think Kate is going to take my sick note into work for me so I'll tell her you said hello when I see her.

Mermaid I'll see what I can do about sleeping through the night at least one night this week!
Though I'm thinking it might not be tonight...... I um.... booked a private scan for tomorrow! Me thinks pacing the floors might happen for a different reason tonight, I'm scared stiff. I'll be 7 weeks and 3 days so need to see a heart beat. This is not helping my head in the sand attitude, but I need to know if things are ok so far.

hopingalways · 24/06/2009 12:30

Wow! So pleased for you barbie!

Sorry been absent ladies, had minor meltdown off line and decided to wait until I'd calmed down before venturing into cyberspace unescorted.

Now much calmer, but rationally considering the option that we never have kids and what that will mean. So not giving up yet, just have no expectation that this will happen.

maybe this is just sods law working at a really subconcious level

sorry I don't have time to say hello to all of you, but am at work and it is calling to me...will try and catch you this evening!

Neeko · 24/06/2009 12:47

Oooh Gracie Here's my hand for tomorrow. I'm sure you'll feel much better when you see a wriggling tiny bean. What stage were you at last time? I was 9+1 when my lo died (though 12 when I found out ) and I think 9+2 will be a major milestone for me next time. I really hope tomorrow takes you past yours and gives you some peace of mind.

Hopingalways sorry you're feeling so low. Try not to give up yet.

GracieGirl · 24/06/2009 13:07

Neeko my last LO died at just before 7 weeks but I didn't find out till a scan at 10 weeks. Just seeing a heartbeat will make me feel much calmer I'm sure.

Hoping good to see you back. You really don't have to disapear to have your meltdowns. We all have them on here regularly.

iggypiggy · 24/06/2009 13:40

Gracie will def be thinking of you tomorrow. I had a private scan at 7 + 4 last time and am glad I did - otherwise I wouldn't have known either way for weeks. I have good feeling about it for you xx

VJaybigpants · 24/06/2009 14:01

thinking of you too gracie for tomorrow, I'm sure it will all be fine

OP posts:
MummyLovesSadie · 24/06/2009 14:34

Yes Neeko you all do talk that much actually!

No seriously I've had a stressful couple of days & no Mermaid I actually feel shite so there nur!!

Had massive problems getting dd to sleep on holiday. She was going to bed at 10pm & waking up at 7am & then she had to be driven around by dh during the day or else she wouldn't have her lunchtime nap. Last night was her first night home & she wailed & screamed when I put her to bed, dh went out to get a curry & dd started sounding like something out of the Exorcist screaming "MUMMMMMYYYYY" in a scary deep voice through the monitor. Anyway, I was going to let her cry for a few more minutes when I heard a massive thud, I raced upstairs to find she'd managed to throw herself out of her cot & landed on the floor, when I opened the door she was toddling towards me with her arms outstretched & she was in her grobag (like a sleeping bag for the uninitiated) & looked like she was in a shuffling sack-race. Then dh got home & I got it in the neck for not calling the doctor - then he refused to call the doctor himself saying "no it doesn't matter". She was fine but I then had two hours of trying to get her off to sleep & she didn't want to know - the untouched curry was going cold downstairs btw. THEN, dh barged in & decided to take over, so I went downstairs to catch up with mn but he followed me with dd in his arms saying "What the hell are you doing? Stop emailing your mates & help me" Arseface. She eventually fell asleep in our bed & I managed to carry her to her cot at 11.30, I was so wide awake that I went downstairs & read up on all of your posts until 1am, then was so irritated that I woke up at 5am & have only had four hours sleep. And no bloody curry! Dh was getting so narkey with both myself & dd towards the end of the holiday, I couldn't wait to come home. It's our wedding anniversary today & I feel like doing a turd in an envelope & giving it to him instead of his card!

OK rant over.

I really enjoyed reading the (blaaaardy long) thread when I got back, it was like reading a book when you had already seen the film. I wanted to keep skipping to the good bits at the end as I'd been regularly updated by Neeko (thank you) & also by GG. So, even though I had tears in my eyes reading the earlier posts I knew that Barbie was still pregnant, yay, that GG had her little bean in the right place, hurray, & that Neeko was coming back to us when the evil witch buggered off, yeee-ha!

I'm definitely going to make some of that yummy sounding soup Mermaid, that sounds right up my rue.

Jools don't forget you can buy Viapro from Superdrug!

Welcome to hoping, you are in the right place for meltdowns, we are meltdown-ahoy in these parts most weekends!

4ever sorry af got you, third time lucky for you I bet. What happens if you get pregnant & you only have a few months of protection left? Can't they give you a top-up when it runs out?

Kate hope you come back soon, men can be shits.... not that I'm anti-man or anything like that! Please don't feel guilty for spending time with us.

GG will be thinking of you tomorrow.

I have had my scan date through, not until the flippin 23rd July. I could have an early one if I were to get referred by my gp but I quite like it here with my head firmly in the sand! I weighed myself this morning & unbelievably I've lost a pound since I went on holiday - cue worrying. Shouldn't I be putting weight on at 8 weeks?? I guess I've been fussy for the last couple of weeks & I just haven't fancied eating much & when I have eaten something it had made me feel queasy.

Hope everyone is well on this sunny day. I'm off to try to get some sleep now - well it'll probably be only about 10 minutes before dd wakes up & decides to jettison herself out of her cot & across the room!

mermaidspurse · 24/06/2009 15:44

classic rant! home with a bump then in more ways than one.But if it had been me I owuld have reheated the curry at 1am
Don't worry re your weight, probably the summer and feeling a bit ms, you will soon be enourtmous stretchy pants.
Growbags are the best invention ever though I think we should comission our own emmsys ones.

4ever is at home with the window men and an af and sends her love but is too busy making builders cups of tea

gracie more floor pacing then will be thinking of you heaps and heaps.xx

Joolsiam · 24/06/2009 15:50

Do you think anyone would notice if I took my laptop out into the garden and ate a Solero ?

Rant away MLS Prob with the Viapro is getting him to take it AF has pretty much departed though, so I'm cooking him dinner tonight and he'll be in a good mood cos he's just had a big pay rise (ok, on a crap salary) which means we should have nearl £250 more per month to play with - my secret Maternity Leave bank account currently has enough savings for me to stay off for ten months (including mat pay and holiday pay) - maybe I can get it up to a full year now :D :D

mermaidspurse · 24/06/2009 15:54

yes yes yes

Neeko · 24/06/2009 15:56

Oh dear MLS back to real life right enough! Hope you managed a nap.
I found DD on a stool with one foot over the top stairgate last night If she'd gotten over instead of getting stuck she'd have broken her neck most likely. Very inconvenient of them not to stay in bed when you put them there! Stool now lives downstairs but she'll only find something else. The day before she deliberately covered my coffee table in green crayon. I think we've hit the terrible twos (she's almost 2.8 so shouldn't complain)

mermaid send 4ever my love.
