Not really much to report. Half way through my 2ww. Not doing so well at waiting as I'm not feeling pregnant at all which is making feel very emotional. Apart from that all is well and normal. Do you have a move date?

Migraine and nauseous since last night- so just feeling dandy right now. M puked again and we can't figure out why she's puking all the time. She's not acting sick at all and she has an appetite, despite the puking. No fever, no diarrhea, and keeping food down during the day. I've had to change her bed and wash puke sheets for the past 5 days. It's so gross! This is the 3rd episode of her puking for several nights in a row since early Dec. I think I'm going to finally take her in for some allergy testing to see if maybe it's something she's eating that we aren't aware of? I'm thinking it's maybe cheese?

Also, cat-sitting my sister's enormous, hairy, fat, cat named "Mo" whom my cat hates and hisses and spits at all the time. Now she's starting to attack me all the time so we are very much looking forward to MO going away! He is always trying to crawl under my bed and leaves enormous chunks of hair everywhere. Eugh.

And Bf'ing is officially over. M has asked twice and I told her it was "all gone" and now she pulls open my shirt and just exclaims "ALL GONE!" Grin

Frus did you look at all the pics in that pram? There is a child that looks about 7 on it not 2 lol I think that's the one pear ment, there's not a chance in hell tiger will sit in a pram, she hasn't since before 3 and even I'd she was dead on her feet shed point blank refuse, would be nice if she would occasionally!
Pear I never felt pregnant with kitten just emotional that I knew I wasn't so fx!!

kittykatsforever · 14/01/2015 18:03

How is m bring? Any common thing she's had? On the days she's been sick?

peardrop2 · 14/01/2015 19:34

Oh goodness bring Hmm Just when you thought it was back to a healthy household too! I hope they do quick allergy testing where you live? Over here it seems impossible to be taken seriously when it comes to allergies. Took me 6 months to work out Bpears food allergy on my own as the doctors wouldn't help! Anyway, hopefully they're more helpful at your end! Probably not hard! It's probably easier to detect now they're toddlers.

Hah hah kitty, glad it's not just me thinking that kid is old Smile Thanks for the reassurance with symptoms. I have experienced Acid Reflux tonight which is really really annoying as it is now messing with my head as I experienced that last time with bpear at 7dpo according to my notes yes I am that sad I made a symptom spotting notepad Really can't get my hopes up though Blush Kitty, did you get any 2ww symptoms with Tiger? I wonder if one was to experience the same symptoms on the 2ww as last time...does that mean they're having the same gender again? Hmmm

Yes, pear lots of options for getting allergy testing done. I am thinking of going to a naturopath instead of a medical doctor as they do testing on intolerances as well as allergies.

OoooOh I wonder if that's a symptom! We need every detail for the next 10 days please Grin

I was going to say better ask frus and bring who had same and different siblings to know if it was different as I don't know if I would be the same for all children?!
I love that you took notes pearGrin
I had totally different symptoms for both of mine though really and different pregnancys, not polar opposite but enough to make me think I bet it's a boy so I don't think you can go by it I just remember crying in the bath with kitten though saying to dh that I knew I wasn't pregnant this month, I felt absolutely nothing at all apart from emotional obviously lol

Still thinking of you lib, hope your ok xx

peardrop2 · 15/01/2015 07:47

Kitty ~ that's interesting that you had different experiences with both DD. I would never expect that for the same gender. I guess it's like bring said the other week...in most cases every pregnancy and birth is different.

So, I woke up and thought I must torture myself this morning. Took a one step cheapie test and obviously got a BFN Grin I really won't learn. I am intent on making the same mistakes Grin I've got a physio appointment this morning for my tendinitis. I really should have cancelled it as its now gone but I've sort of befriended the physio lady over the months of treatment so I feel like I need to say goodbye and swap numbers for coffee. I'm not desperate to make NEW friends at all lol She does have a DS similar age btw...I'm not just befriending anyone I meet outside the house now Grin

I carried differently for both, very low dd1 very high dd2

bringonthetrumpets · 15/01/2015 15:33

Aww pear I love it when I make friends in the most unexpected locations. I am friends with my dental hygienist and she has two boys the same ages as mine. Hope you are able get together outside of your physio treatments!

With #1, first symptoms were extremely sore boobs, weird cramping that was way before my period was due and never happens for me, and just a metallic taste in my mouth. I never in a million years thought I was pregnant so those symptoms threw me for a loop! Took a test and immediate BFP. Turns out I was already 7 weeks!

#2 I found out I was pg just because I was at a doc's appointment! I had no idea, so I had to have a scan that showed bub at 5 weeks with a fetal pole and then another one at 7 weeks that showed an actual heartbeat. Symptoms were really, really mild. Little to no morning sickness, just really, really tired. So I didn't really get to symptom watch with him.

#3, I just knew. Sore boobs right away. I don't normally have that as a period symptom, so I just knew based on that. Took at test at 11 dpo and it was a faint positive. Tested again a couple of days later and it was darker! Horrendous morning sickness with her compared to what I dealt with before. All day nausea and extreme tiredness I remember being the hardest... but I don't think they started up until around 6-7 weeks.

bringonthetrumpets · 15/01/2015 15:40

Oh, and I just look exactly the same way when I'm pregnant. I showed much, much more quickly with #3 than the other two.

peardrop2 · 15/01/2015 17:24

Aww I love hearing your stories Smile

I hardly any symptoms with Calf, after the implantation diarrhoea that is! Blush With Runt I felt nauseated first at around implantation time but I was convinced it was a coincidence & refused to believe I was pregnant until you lot made me POAS! From about week 5 I was constantly nauseated for about 4 months & lost about 13% of my pre-pregnancy weight, if assuming standard pregnancy weight gain. Complete opposite pregnancies! I was convinced at one point that Runt was either twins or a girl or twin girls!

peardrop2 · 15/01/2015 19:13

Agnu ~ Ah that's very different and you've got 2 boys!

Bring ~ thanks, I've got her number now so I'll arrange a play date soon. DH is teasing me that I have a date...sigh Blush Love that you're friends with your hygienist Smile

Possibly 6dpo and symptoms have vanished. Roll on the weekend when I will be distracted at a muddy farm and not stroking lambs
