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

[nmpjcp2015]

I was born and grew up in TN. Nashville.

I love Nashville. We honeymooned there! It was nice and low key.

:wave:

My boobs won't fit in half my holiday clothes

Gah, me neither. I've been wearing leggings and tunics. I've decided that instead of buying maternity things, I'm going to buy plus sized tunics and shirts to go with my leggings for the summer.

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 in Arkansas, but I've lived in KS, and I've been to over half of the states. I've also lived in Ecuador. That was great. I was able to learn Spanish and dance and eat awesome food. I made great friends there. Travelling and living in other countries is the best way I've learned to be grateful, well rounded, and not afraid to try new things. My children will definitely travel.

Leggings and tunics is a great idea

Hi there! I saw the link to your group in another thread and would like to join. I got my BFP yesterday with an EDD of 10/21. I'm a mommy to my 20 month old spitfire daughter Can I just say I love the name of the group?! I love owls and it's actually the theme of my daughter's room!

Thanks and welcome, shellgirl!

Good to see we still have some new ladies joining in! This thread still moves sooo fast - takes me a good part of my mornings here to catch up with all the overnight chatter!!!

I have a bit of long haul work travel coming up in early March.... (Oz to Canada, so 26 hours of flying) which is going to be full on! I'm used to the 13 hr LA trip - but this will be the first time doing it without the aid of sleeping tablets to get my time zones sorted en route...so I'm a bit worried i will get no sleep on the plane and be ruined when i get there for my meetings! I guess we will see!

Hi ladies. Can I join in. Got my second beta today and the numbers are looking good so I wanted to join a group of ladies going through the same things. My EDD is October 25th.

I'm about 4 weeks along. Had one MC last year but my fingers are crossed because my betas then were barely above 5 and didn't increase. This time I got an 87 and a 283 today. And I threw up this morning at work. I don't know why, but I was kind of happy. Made me feel like this is really happening because it's still so surreal.

Anyway, wishing you all a h&h 9 months.

The Minute Maid soft frozen lemonade cups are awesome for morning sickness!

Got my first blood draw today at 4+4 (according to lmp) and got 784!! So happy right now I can't believe its that high. Don't know if my doc will do a second draw on Friday or not so we will see!

Welcome new ladies.
America sounds massive you could definitely drive from one end of Ireland to the other in about 5 hours. Haha

 

[GingerPanda]

I would love to drive from one end of Ireland to the other! ... On the wrong side of the road.

 

[sinead266]

Dont think you'd get from top to bottom of Ireland in 5 hours lol

 

[GingerPanda]

New ladies have been added!

 

[Serenjay]

Welcome to all the new ladies xx

Girls Im in so much pain with my boobies!! I have soaked them in a bath too.. then remembered I had to climb out and dry them... nipples are so sensitive I cant even have a sports bra..normal bra or nightie on them... and bad ligament pain around my groin... anyone else suffering these? x

 

[AJae]

Can I join you lovely ladies?

Got my bfp on 30th Jan. can't believe any of it is real at all as my period wasn't due to start until today (usually 34-37 day cycles, and I know i wasnt pg last month!) so it picked up very very early on a frer (13 days early and so Typically I am the awkward one!) . 7 tests (okay more like 10!) later and still two lines getting darker. Booking appt not til march so in some strange out of body state until then. So far, nothing out of the ordinary apart from overwhelming urge for liquorice allsorts 3dpo. I cannot abide them and need to leave a room they are in normally, so me shoving handfuls down my throat like it was an elixir of youth made me wary.....

All being well, and depending on which calculator to believe (lmp 8th Jan, cycle avg above)EDD is either 15th Oct (mine and Boyf's 9th anniversary!!) or 22nd Oct, but I guess this will be cleared up in time. So no one make any plans for halloween just in case. Havent told family yet as it's not sunk in and our first month NTNP so just taking each day as it comes. This will be our first so looking forward to keeping updated (all being well) H&H 9M to all!!! Xx

Welcome to the new ladies!

Guys, I'm six weeks tomorrow and feel like I need maternity pants already. My clothes fit, they just don't fit "right" and everything is so uncomfortable! My tummy feels bruise and my hips are sore. I wish I could wear yoga pants to the office. Ugh.

 

[GingerPanda]

Welcome, AJae! I'll add you in on the 15th, and we can change it later if we need to.

Dandi, with my first pregnancy, I was so bloated I went out and bought maternity clothes at 6 weeks. Lost that pregnancy at 8 weeks, but was very glad to have them from the beginning for the second pregnancy (lost at 6 weeks) and for this pregnancy. There is no shame in already wearing maternity clothes! They're cute, and honestly, no one can tell they're maternity clothes in the beginning. And they're super comfy! Like pajamas!

Welcome to all the new ladies!

I love maternity pants...not going to lie. I haven't gotten mine out yet though. I just get a kick out of wearing size medium instead of a number size lol. I love maternity tanks. I wear those all the time. I guess I have a long torso, because I like the length of maternity tanks over regular ones even when not pregnant.

 

[Dandi]

Ugh, the bloat. I feel gross. I may see if I can find some cheap maternity pants to ease into for comfort until I'm at the point to seriously shop for maternity clothes.
