Boooooo to delayed flights!!! Hope u have a safe journey. Smile

Leftwingharpie · 20/05/2012 15:29

Just driving back up north now. Good to be back on home soil!

minipie · 20/05/2012 19:08

hello all! sorry to hear about delayed flights and gout harpie - slightly rubbish end to TBT but maybe it will make DH keener on TTC as he won't have visions of further BTs. Does he really get gout Shock? is that in the family or does he have a very rich diet/lots of booze? and when is POAS day....?

I can't really offer anything in place of cash (legal advice maybe?) due to total non craftiness but will definitely accept cake!

strawberry we had a bit of a "ohmygod it's really happening" moment the other day, DH looked at the tiny newborn nappy in the Bounty pack and almost had a heart attack, apparently it made it much real-er. Also told DH's bro (the one whose wife is having a baby 6 weeks ahead of us) and my grandma and aunt this weekend, so it does all start to feel a bit more "official". Just hope nothing goes wrong as there will be rather more people to tell now...

100 hope E's teeth come through soon, poor her. My friend's baby is teething and seems to like chomping on adult fingers as teething aids, it's surprisingly painful!

Quod I've been lucky with the morning sickness, had a few bouts of queasiness (in the evening oddly not the morning) where I could only face very plain food, but nothing worse than that. I have been really tired in the afternoons sometimes though. Ok when I am just at my desk but dreadful when I have a meeting and am trying not to fall asleep! My mum was similar apparently so maybe your mum's experience could be a guide for you?

Quodlibet · 20/05/2012 19:37

Mini yes my mum and my sister both had pretty grim MS which went on for several weeks, which is what I'm worried about!

Saying that, I'm OVing in the next couple of days, and now idly eyeing the calendar and working out if I got updiffed this cycle, actually how many of my full-on days/weeks any MS would impact...is that daft? I was going to lay off the TTC this month but actually looking at it now I'm in the thick of it all I don't think it would really be the end of the world.

Has anyone had a relaxing weekend? I've been working both days with a hen do in the middle so am SHATTERED! (though probably not as shattered as you 100, poor E.)

Leftwingharpie · 20/05/2012 19:48

Hi everyone! I think AF's here. I'm a bit worried as it's not been a week since EWCM. Back on the Persona sticks next this cycle I think.

Mini I wouldn't say he has a very rich diet. I suppose he does eat quite a bit of steak. He's a bit of a binge drinker with the boys at the weekend and never drinks in the week, whereas I'm the opposite. Apparently arthritis is in the family. Anyway MIL has bravely made him a doctors appointment for next week, so we'll see.

Love the tiny nappy story! Must be weird telling people. Are they all pure joy and enthusiasm to your joy with a good dose of bloody hell?! Grin

Quod get stuck in! Ha ha - easy for me to say! How was the hen do?

100years · 20/05/2012 21:27

Harpie, glad you had a good holiday. Sorry you think AF is here, is it full or orclutching at straws for you could it be implantation bleeding? What was the best thing about your holiday overall?

Mini, yep, and those newborn nappies don't last long Wink they are tiny though. Mind you E is still only in size 3s yet, but then she's around 16lbs now. Not yet put on 10lb, I was over 10lb when I was born! So she's not yet reached the weight of both of us at birth! Well they appear to be getting closer to the surface, but still to through yet.

Ooh quod. Yay for possibly TTC this cycle. :) it's been a fairly nice weekend here, even with E's outbursts of crying occasionally. Went to church this morning, there was a 2 1/2 week old there, my OH said oh he's smaller than when E was born, I disagreed, I was right, said baby was 2 1/2 lbs heavier than E was at that age! And also weighed 1 1/2 lb more than E when she was born! It's funny how you just know. Although I'm sure given time I'll say oh she was never that small!

Holiday for us this week :) yay. Off to the lakes :) got confirmation rehearsal on Tuesday. Then confirmation on Wednesday, hoping to see a friend and her newborn on Thursday, although OH is now coming down with a cold, so we might have to push it back. Then holiday :) whoop. Just got to try and work out how we will fit everything we need in the boot of the car!

Leftwingharpie · 20/05/2012 23:35

Ha ha it's not full it was just spotting, but I'm sure she'll be making herself at home by this time tomorrow. Possible implantation bleed is the last bastion of 2ww madness isn't it!

Hope you have a lovely time in the lakes and the weather picks up a bit - we heard it's been horrid. Is confirmation this Wednesday? I had thought it would be next weekend for some reason I equate church with weekends!

Leftwingharpie · 21/05/2012 20:53

Ooh forgot to say - driving through Yosemite was the best part of TBT! Absolutely stunningly beautiful. Just wish we could have seen more of it.

Leftwingharpie · 21/05/2012 23:53

Ok well "this time tomorrow" has now been and gone and no sign of the witch. Goodnight all x

Leftwingharpie · 22/05/2012 09:01

Hope the rehearsal goes well, 100years.

Quodlibet · 22/05/2012 13:56

Harpie I don't think 'possible implantation spotting' is the last bastion of TTC madness - its more like the first port of call on the loonie journey! Sounds very positive to me though.... Spotting but no AF you say? When is POAS day again? Grin

Leftwingharpie · 22/05/2012 17:30

Friday but I think AF is on her way. My stomach's churning.

Leftwingharpie · 22/05/2012 17:41

Oh what do you know - she's here! Good job really. We are now in maternity pay territory as planned.

100years · 22/05/2012 22:48

Oh bums harpie, that sucks :( boo, and tbf if you can't have a bit of 2ww madness here, then where can you? Yes, they have services in the week too, and at this church the confirmations are a wednesday evening. :)

Well if I'm not pg by now, I very much doubt I will be this month, we've not dtd since last Wednesday, I doubt it will be happening before the weekend :( I know I'm currently on about cd23 or something like that, but the last 2proper cycles were 6 weeks, the one in the middle was light at about 4 weeks. I have some ewcm. I just don't know where I am. OH wants to let nature take its course, I'm struggling a little with that concept! Anyway moving on.

Mini WIIT meet tomorrow :) meeting strawberrypie for lunch :) will have to sort out some day trips to see some of you others :) if anyone fancies a day out to Birmingham one day, then I'd love to do lunch etc :)

Oh and E's teeth are still not through! Get a move on, or rather don't, I love her gummy smile and will be a bit :( when it's a toothy smile, although I'll still love it, and possibly even more, but it's a step up from little baby I'm ignoring the fact she's standing without holding on as a step up from little baby :-=) that's a toothy smile!

Oh she stood at baby group on Monday, in front of other mummies :) and she also stood 4 times for grannie today :) not for long, but she's doing it :)

Leftwingharpie · 23/05/2012 08:51

Woo hoo it's mini WIIT meet up day today! Am ver envious - just have work all day followed by housework! And then confirmation tonight as well! What are you planning to wear?

Not bothered about AF, am quite relieved we "held out" until this month the start trying. It would have been so annoying when money got tight just for the sake of waiting a few more days. Couldn't sleep last night though for thinking about it.

bebejones · 23/05/2012 09:46

Boo to AF :( But I s'pose it's for the best!! Wink

100 - Hope you have a lovely day! Good luck for confirmation! :)

Taking DD to see 'The Torch' this afternoon! Very exciting! (Will probably be a masssive let down!)

I know I ov'd yesterday :( and then to add insult to injury had the filthiest (positively pornographic) dream last night Blush and woke up to a snoring and farting DH! Nice!!! Hmm We are about as close to TTC as we are to living on the moon! Oh & DH's PA quit last week, it's her last day today. Great!! The only silver lining in that dark cloud is at least he can pay us next month as he won't have her wages to pay!

Leftwingharpie · 23/05/2012 18:18

Ha ha Bebe you poor thing what a disappointment! Grin What was the dream about exactly?

bebejones · 23/05/2012 20:46

I could do with some plonk, feeling frazzled after waiting hours for Olympic Torch!! (Was exciting though!!)

I could not possibly divulge the details of the dream! Far too filthy!! :o (Although worryingly it didn't invole DH, but a WWE wrestler!! Blush Grin Wink)

bebejones · 24/05/2012 09:07

Harpie, your postcard just arrived!!! Thank u! Smile

Leftwingharpie · 24/05/2012 09:47
Grin

Just waiting for my train at Shipley two mums on the platform are discussing their DD's brattish behaviour. One has just told the other "I had to throw a cup of water over her the other day, cause she was going so mad."

Is that normal?

minipie · 24/05/2012 10:30

Actually that sounds like a pretty good solution to some of the toddler tantrums I've seen Grin

Only thing is they are bound to do it back to you someday

Shock at WWF porno dreams! Why don't I get those Envy?

bebejones · 24/05/2012 13:11

My Olympic Torch thread is a discussion of the day!!!!! :o My first DotD!!!!!!! :o :o :o

Minipie - The pregnancy porno dreams tend to kick in in the 2nd trimester!! Wink

Harpie - I'd not say it was normal, but it's a great idea!! :o Wink Many a time I've left DD screaming in a heap somewhere & thought 'what the hell can I do to stop that?!!!' Althought like Mini said, DD would probably think that she could throw drinks at me if I did it to her!

Leftwingharpie · 24/05/2012 17:34

Yes true, and she probably wouldn't limit it to water!

100years · 25/05/2012 21:28

I want to do the thing that that lady does on the advert where she just throws herself down on the floor and throws a pretend tantrum. In fact I think I might just do it one day!

We're on our holiday. Fab view from the front window. I have put a pic up on FB. :) OH is watching HIGNFY and stroking my shoulder :) its lovely.

And E has a tooth and another one just about to come through. It was a lady in Yo Sushi who said it was out while I was lunching with our very own Strawberypie and her little E :) I felt it and yep, for sure it was through the surface. Bless :) Strawberry and LO are both very beautiful :) and I've met my first WIIT

Well done on the DofD bebe.
