30 something and TTC #1 for a year

[MrsPTTC]

Yes Aleja, the nursery is done, it's been decorated since end August only cos it was our last time off together before EDD! Furniture been up since end nov but need to get everything sorted out, ie. the wardrobe tidied up, drawers organised & bedding put on. Will post a piccie once it's properly finished. How's your baby prep doing?

I saw the mw today, baby has only grown 1cm in 3 weeks! It was a different mw & she admitted they could all measure it differently but she needs to act on what she's seen today so I'm booked in for a growth scan tomorrow. I've measured behind all the way along but now 3/4cm behind. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about though x

 

[aleja]

MrsP good luck with your scan . It's great you have a positive attitude about it.
A photo of the nursery would be lovely

No baby prep for me yet actually ! I think I will be a last minute kind of girl !

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks Aleja, all is well, weighing estimated 5lb9 at the minute & expected to be around 7 or 8lb mark at birth. Hope its no bigger ha ha! Not sure if she dropped a clanger, she mentioned 'she' but this was before she'd gone down that end, & when she did go down she said we could look as we couldn't see anything anyway, so maybe it was a slip of the tongue, most people call it he or she rather than it, maybe she just thought its face looked like an she ha ha. It was frowning lol.

Ah I was totally over prepared on the shopping front, but I knew we had Xmas & our house extension coming & boy am I glad I was prepared! Everything so stressful at the minute! x

 

[aleja]

Great news MrsP.ooohhh it may be a little girl xxx

Ill have to borrow some of your preparedness because I am in no rush to do anything. To be honest I'm still shocked that I'm pregnant!

Most people think its a she anyway Aleja, but you never know!

Cupcake - that's so exciting!!!! How are you feeling? Have ye decided how many ye'll be putting back? Will you be taking much time off work? Good luck!!!! Can't wait to hear how many eggies they get!

MrsP - that would be a nice birth weight Anything over 8lbs scares me!! Glad all was well at the scan!

Aleja - don't worry all will come together in the end!! You'll probably be hit with a bang by the nesting bug one of these days and then it'll be all go go go!!!

Afm, all is great. Doing a lot of walking, swimming and yoga. Going to try and keep them all up til as close to the end as possible. Hoping if I get into a bit of a routine at this stage then it'll be easier to keep going in 3rd tri... We've painted the nursery and put in the cot and Moses basket but we've a good few finishing touches to do yet - curtains, wall decals etc. Looks like I've entered the fast growing stage - put on 0.4kg in 2 days this week! (that's 0.9lbs for those of you in the US!!)

Truly, Mk8, MrsG & Brassy - I hope you are all doing well! and

I hope I haven't forgotten anyone?!

 

[MrsPTTC]

9lbs in 2 days broody?! wow! I've found my weight has slowed down now, I seemed to put on a lot quickly around 20ish weeks but I haven't really put on anything in the last 3 weeks... x

 

[GettingBroody]

Not 9lbs, 0.9lbs!!!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

that's what I thought but then 0.9 lbs is nothing so thought you meant 9lbs! I can gain/lose 1 or 2 lbs just with my toilet habits! x

 

[mk8]

Best of luck for today cupcake. Hope they get lots if healthy eggs!

 

[GettingBroody]

Good luck today Cupcake!!

 

[cupcakesarah]

Thanks mk8 and broody, I'm so nervous it's ridiculous. Need to calm down. Will update later.

 

[aleja]

good luck cupcake I can't wait to hear how it all went. make sure you drink plenty of fluids after collection x

 

[cupcakesarah]

11 eggs collected, very sore now. Find out how many fertilise in the morning. I cried a bit while they were doing it, I think it was all my emotions rushing to the surface rather than the pain. Lying on sofa waiting for hubby to do me some lunch then i'm going to bed.

 

[mk8]

Well done cupcake! Now it's time to rest and be pampered. 11 eggs is a fabulous number! Here's hoping they all fertilise so you can have 11 children! Tee hee.

Seriously, that's amazing and you ought to give yourself a pay on the back for getting through it. Big hug!

 

[MrsPTTC]

cupcake. But well done chick! FX'd with the fertilising! x

 

[GettingBroody]

11 eggs is great Cupcake!! Fx'd lots of them fertilise so you can get a few frosties! Were you awake for the procedure? I was knocked out. Dh drove me home and I crawled into bed and slept for most of the day. I highly recommend a hot water bottle or heat pad for the aches and pains over the next few days. Hope you feel better soon, looking forward to your fert report tomor! and

 

[cupcakesarah]

3 fertilised. Not great, 3 didn't fertilise at all, some were immature and 2 had abnormalities. Feeling quite depressed. Pray they make it to Thursday when transfer is scheduled.

 

[cupcakesarah]

Broody just read that you had 3 fertilise normally, feel a bit more hopeful as you we're successful xx
