Thanks ladies, it gets harder as you get older to stay in shape!! Since being in my 30s I find it much harder to stay the same size. I've always been grateful for being tall (I'm 5'8) as the height helps mask it when you put weight on. My long torso made for a weird baby bump though with Isla as it was very low (due to Oscar decimating my stomach muscles), but then there was this really long bit above that looked funny! I hated it! Hoping that now I've got back in shape, the next one will be a better bump as my stomach muscles are tight again.
Bla: Don't worry
that's normal. Pregnancy is not for the squeamish! There will be plenty more gross things by the end
but it's fun to look back on even if it is a bit weird at the time.
Sorry to all the ladies whose MILs are being disinterested. I think it's a MIL thing. My MIL never really asked about how everything was going in either of my pregnancies and we get on well. I think it's just that they feel a bit awkward to pry as it's quite personal I guess
I got enough attention from everyone else, so I didn't mind her not prying
What I find stranger is that she knows we're still TTC the third and never ever asks about that... neither does my own mum. Maybe it's a TTC thing, maybe that's even more personal? Would be nice for my mum to ask every now and then though. I'm so so close to her, so it's weird that we don't talk about it unless I bring it up.
Campn and Smille: Your kids sound adorable with what they're saying
I know you didn't plan on this big an age gap, but it must be nice to have them old enough to understand. Oscar won't have a clue what's going on the next time I'm pregnant, what with his autism (or if he does, he probably won't be able to express how he feels about it) and Isla will (hopefully!) still be too young to remark on it - at this rate, she'll be like 30 by the time she gets a little brother or sister!
Such a beautiful beautiful day today and my kids are both with their grandma and grandpa today till this evening! I don't know what to do with myself
what did I used to do at the weekends before kids came along??!
Temp only up a tiny bit today, but after looking at last cycle's chart and it being identical, I'm not too worried. Got a 2 pack of FRERs and clearblue plus coming from amazon. I'm going to hold off testing till 12dpo as that will be 14 days past trigger and it will definitely be gone. Last time it was gone by 11 days past trigger. So that will be a week on Tuesday on the 17th of May. Eek!
I cannot wait to see that BFP. Any lingering side effects from the Clomid? I remember being so confused if it were the start of a BFP or just the Clomid. BTW you had an amazing figure for 21 weeks!
I gotta say breastfeeding provided a great escape for me when I got bored of everyone.
It's a girl and they named her Alena (among other names but she wouldn't tell. Have to wait for the card i guess
