2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[apreslaube]

My husband obviously knows and I told one friend. We will traveling to Phoenix when I am about 9 weeks. Actually the day we leave is the day after our first prenatal appointment. We will be telling my family and friends then. We will tell husband's family probably at 12 weeks.

 

[Natasha2605]

Can't keep up with you all. slow down hah

Me neither.

Hoping everyone is doing well. No symptoms again today. Feeling great. Don't even feel pregnant. Not going to lie, that worries me slightly.

Worked 10-4 today and just ordered a chinese. Can't be bothered to do much else.

Natasha give it another week. I never have symptoms until 6 wks

 

[Serenjay]

Who have you all told?

I've only told my best friend and husband so far which is weird as I usually tell my mum, sister and other close friends straight away but this time I'm not actually keen to tell.

OH - My eldest daughter (24) as she was here when I done last test 1 girl in work as she is 17 weeks pregnant and she knew something was up as I am green with nausea..and so tired.. but no one else knows or will know. I wont tell my kids (21 and 15) until 12 weeks as they knew about all my losses and worry.. and as for work.. not telling them until I get a permanent contract as I need to go back to work and currently on fixed term till may. Im hoping it will be sorted soon..before they guess!

I have had a rough week so far. Yesterday and today I just couldn't get any work done at work. I have so much to do that is basically overdue and it's stressing me out. I'm so tired and I'm just angry and depressed today. I almost cried at work and didn't know why.

I felt like that last week

I made spaghetti for dinner. It was good, but... It was like I couldn't shovel it into my face fast enough. And at the same time, it was like I wasn't going to keep any of it down.

Always cook something you dont mind tasting twice in 1 day

I haven't told anyone besides my husband. its getting awkward. suddenly everyone wants to have a drink with me! I don't like to say anything to anyone though. My husband told his work colleague though; She knew we were trying though, as she is aswell. So it seemed rude to outright lie to her (she asked how we were "getting on")

I don't have any desire to tell anyone; I'm very private and loath the idea of having to "untell" people . Some people say it's nicer because then you have support. but for me i would hate it! x

I am also a very secret person.. OH only went and told his bloody hairdresser when I was 4 weeks!!! I am not happy!! she also cuts my sons hair and when I took him in yesterday she was all smiles asking how I was.. I just said yeah fine ta and gave her the look of.. im not wanting to discuss anything.. i've not told my son.. so last thing I wanted mentioned.

Natasha give it another week. I never have symptoms until 6 wks

mine are getting worse...


I am currently waiting for OH to arrive home from asda with potatoes and veg so I can make a dinner.. I suddenly fancied a cooked dinner with mash and peas broccoli and gravy mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[Cariad_x]

I'm so wiped out - its not even half 6 yet and I can barely keep my eyes open!

A cooked dinner sounds magnificent. I'm about to have ours: meatballs that have been sloe cooking all day. Yum.

:wave:

My boobs won't fit in half my holiday clothes

No symptoms for me either, except sore bbs. It is strange, because last week I was having hot flashes and was very nauseous, but this week...nothing. I'll just assume everything is ok, not much to be done if it isn't anyway.

We moved about 1000 miles from my family 9 months ago, so I regularly drive 15-16 hours to go for a visit. It is easier for me to drive so that I have the car and car seats when I get there. Plus, I hate flying.

I actually dream of living in Europe one day. I would love the travel opportunities of living there. I love traveling...I worked for many years as a research scientist, so I have been all over the world. I would very much like for my boys to experience different cultures - so amazing!

 

[GingerPanda]

Cheree, I agree! I would love to be able to travel more! It costs just as much for me to get across this country as it does to get to Europe. Ridiculous that I can't afford to even visit parts of my own country!

It is a bit crazy isn't it. We all went on a trip to see my family the end of January. It would have cost us $2400 for all 4 of us to fly. We spent about $400 to drive (including a night at a nice hotel both there and back).

 

[GingerPanda]

We live in Northern Kentucky. I'd love to visit the west coast, but it's both insane to drive that far and to fly!

I live near Huntington WV, so not too far from you. I am from MN though, so that is where we drive. I have lived in IL, VA, TN and CA (and now WV).

 

[GingerPanda]

I was born and grew up in TN. Nashville.

 

[cheree89]

I lived in San Francisco when I lived in CA. It was beautiful and it was easy to go up or down the coast for weekend trips.

 

[cheree89]

I did a post-doc at UT. Knoxville wasn't my favorite, but the Smokey's are lovely.

 

[tallybee]

The US is really big isn't it! I feel like it's a long haul when we drive 350 miles to visit relatives in England lol.

 

[GingerPanda]

Yes, it is really big! It's a 6 hour drive to visit my family the next state over!

 

[cheree89]

It was a 36 hour drive to move from MN to CA - that was a looong haul.

wooow that's definitely long haul!!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Ha! I live in North west England, Carl has relatives in South east in London, takes us probably 3.5 hours to get there. We could travel the length of the whole country in probably 7 hrs

I don't really want to travel, I'm afraid of flying and I'm intimidated by people so other cultures is like an anxiety nightmare for me. But I'd love to see America - new York at Christmas. Chicago (remember Chicago hope? ) maine (Stephen King takes responsibility for that one) ooh just everywhere!

 

[GingerPanda]

Lil_Pixie, if you like to party, you should definitely try the French Quarter in Louisiana! I love New Orleans! But you do have to be streetwise and keep your wits about you, otherwise you're liable to get mugged. We always carry a fake wallet with a few dollars and an expired license in it just in case. But always had a blast every time. The haunted history tours are also ace.
