Thanks all of you! Congrats again to Kelly! Woohooo! I'm not very good at imaginative ways to tell DH, I'm sorry, I just got straight to it and waved the stick in his face when he got home from work! I'm not good at holding things in really! We've not told DD and need to think of when best to do that but I'll hopefully get an early scan and we can decide after that. Don't want to put her through any more heartache but she is so impatient to be a sister! She's not great at keeping secrets either TBH, so when she knows, it will not be long before others do!
We did do a few things differently this month - mainly started the BD-ing earlier and got a lot more in - as I'd ove'd early the month before I didn't want to miss it. As it happened things seemed to be back to normal OV wise but it obviously did no harm! We were pretty fed up by the end I'll tell ya (that's bad to admit, isn't it?!) I didn't bother too much with much else - no honey and cinnamon, or nonsense like that this month. Oh and I prayed (begged) for my rainbow. I also tired to get out in the sun as much as possible as I'd read that Vit D deficiency can hinder TTC and also as it just makes me feel good and happy. I got stuck into missions in the garden and have been doing quite a lot of heavy humphing of dirt etc which helped keep me from obsessing and the excercise probably did no harm. Now to decide if I should continue this or not - I'm worried I may harm my little bean by doing too much and am paranoid about my possibly dodgy cervix but on the other hand if doing this helped make this possible then maybe I should keep at it? I've only just pulled my head out of my ass enough to start planning the future of my garden etc, I couldn't have cared less until recently and I don't want to go back to doing not much and living in limbo again but don't want to risk anything. Maybe if I just stick to lighter stuff and stop around 10 or 12 weeks, where the weight on the cervix may start to be enough to prompt opening? Aaargh! i'm starting already with the overthinking!
I'm thinking about work too - I'm on my feet for a lot of it but only do 3 nights a week, but all the memories of being there pregnant with the boys make it hard and I can't help wondering if all the standing had something to do with it. I want my Maternity pay this time though dammit! Thats daft, isn't it?! I suppose I'll just need to wait to see if there are any changes when I get my internal scans and get signed off if there is. I'm jumping the gun. I'll stop rambling now!!
Luck and to all of you! XXX
