At least it gives you an early start with MNetting! It must be knackering being pg and keeping baby hours! You are like an endurance athlete!

DH and I went back to take another look at our that house yesterday and we had a chat with the vendors. Very hopeful we might get it!

link here if you're interested.

No offence but I'd rather sleep than post on mn at 5 something in the morning!

Ooh looks lovely, will have a proper squizz in a bit on my iPad as the pics were too small on here. Good luck. Grin

Oh that house looks really lovely harpie good luck!

100 I know someone who wasn't sure how pg she was, to within a few weeks - she didn't get an early scan but when she went for her "12 week scan" (based on last period) she was only 10 weeks so had to go back for another one 2 weeks later. Still thinking sticky thoughts for you. Do you know when AF would be due or not?

Well it's 6 weeks tonight since me last period, and boy was it heavy. My cycles have been 3, 4 and 6 weeks, so not regular yet at all. 2 scans would be good, :) but we'll see what happens. I reckon though I'm only about 4 weeks, but I don't know for sure. Another +ve test this morning. 7 tests left! LOL might leave it a few days now, do one at the weekend for OH :)

Maybe a CB digital one for the weekend, as that should give you an idea how many weeks since conception? They have to be done with first morning wee though and are notoriously unreliable!

I'm a cheap skate and won't pay for one, especially as I know they are unreliable. Lines on tests are fine for me :) and will be for OH. But I know what you mean about having an idea of how long since conception. :)

Had a little temp name change. :)

Please please please no mention of any of what has been discussed on here on FB I know you won't, but just saying it again to reiterate how quiet we want to be for now :) ta michly.

LookAtHerGo · 07/06/2012 19:04

*muchly!

Leftwingharpie · 07/06/2012 19:43

Ha ha I like the new name actually.

Leftwingharpie · 07/06/2012 19:44

I will have to get used to the lack of highlighting though perhaps you should start the next thread now!

LookAtHerGo · 07/06/2012 21:02

Well I could do, but wouldn't that be kind of a bit me me me, given I know I'd be highlighted?

bebejones · 07/06/2012 21:40

Wrote a really long post and bloody MN went offline for an upgrade and I lost it! Angry can't remember what I wrote now! Had a crap day, DD been a pain in the backside. I'll never have another one if she keeps up this behaviour! Where has my charming, polite little girl gone? I lost her about 2 years ago!! She was the loveliest baby Sad

LookAtHerGo · 07/06/2012 21:50

Oh bebe :( sorry to hear that :( have a hug, I'm quite happy to dish them out :)

Leftwingharpie · 07/06/2012 22:31

Oh no! What has she been getting up to?

bebejones · 07/06/2012 23:08

Just general misbehaving really. But she can be so rude, and just doesn't listen, constantly constantly pushing boundaries! Hitting out (usually at the poor cat Sad) and tantrums and temper when she doesn't get her own way! Oh and a general lack of manners eg. shouting 'hungry!!!' 20 times over instead of asking nicely for a snack or shouting at me for not putting a DVD on quick enough! And also pulling faces and growling/huffing at me when I tell her off!

She's had 2 'time outs' in her room today but the trouble is there are so many toys/books in there that when she's calmed down its not a punishment! (there is nowhere that the stuff can go out of the way!) favourite toys have been confiscated, stickers have been given (for good behaviour) and nothing seems to be having a long term effect!

Hoping things improve tomorrow! Sad

Leftwingharpie · 07/06/2012 23:15

Well I have no parenting experience obviously, but the cat gets time outs which are designed (according to the behaviourists) to remove him from the situation and alter his mood, rather than punish him. He goes in the other room f

Leftwingharpie · 07/06/2012 23:17

for three minutes with his toys with the door shut, away from whatever was over stimulating him - and he does always calm down. Maybe that applies to children to some extent as well? I have to say it doesn't teach him any manners!

Leftwingharpie · 07/06/2012 23:18

My friends hate it when I compare the cat to their DC btw Grin

Leftwingharpie · 08/06/2012 06:43

Morning! I am 3DPO today - and can confirm that the wait is long and boring! Not even at the symptom spotting stage yet. It seems very improbable that I would be pg iykwim?

bebejones · 08/06/2012 08:00

Give it til 10 days before you start symptom spotting!! Isn't that when little beans tend to implant?! Hmm

DD gets put in her room to calm down & it does work, but then she mostly doesn't want to leave her room when the time is up because she wants to play with her toys upstairs which sort of defeats the object!

Think I'm getting a cold, feel like crap this morning! :(

Oh and the bloody weather is making my TV unwatchable! The strong wind is blowing the tree in the front garden in front of the sky dish & the picture on the telly jumps/freezes every 30 seconds! This also didn't help DDs behaviour yesterday as it meant that she couldn't watch 'Woolly and Tig' on cBeebies = meltdown!!! Weather is so crappy we can't even go out really! We have someone lined up to come and sort tree/garden out, but we need some dry weather & it's going to rain all next week too apparently! :(

strawberrypie · 08/06/2012 14:11

Congratulations 100!!! How exciting! I think it must be even better being pregnant for a second time, knowing what to expect and maybe being able to just enjoy it (HE allowing)!

Blooming heck LWH! 2WW for you! Why does time pass soooooo slowly just when you want it to fly? I'm going to predict that you are having a girl if you are pregnant this month (jumping the gun a bit, I know!) as apparently the X chromosome sperms last longer.......

Hope you are feeling better Bebe! LO sounds very testing ATM. I'm sure you are doing all the right things, hopefully it will stop soon as suddenly as it started :)

We are caravanning with some friends and their two LO's this week. Awful weather (again!) but we are having a good time :) Going making some rock (seaside variety) this afternoon. Need to decide what I want mine to say in the middle.....

LookAtHerGo · 08/06/2012 15:21

Oh bebe :( that's rubbish for you :( I do hope today is better for you.

Harpie, chill your boots missus :)

Thanks Strawberry :) Double edged sword to having been pg before, knowing what happens and so that mystery is out of it, but also knowing all things that could happen and so hopefully be more chilled? Who knows. All I know is that I'm in no mans land between finding out and the scan which I don't think will ever be a stress free relaxed time for anyone. But we're :)

We've picked a name for the poppy seed while it's inside me, and OH is a bit more believing of it now. I'm still a bit Shock but in a good way. :)
