Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

[ginny83]

I;m not 100% what a yam it, but I don't like I like them haha. I do love pumpkin and sweet potato though!! I love putting roasted sweet potato into salads - yum!

Cossie - you can add me back on the waiting to O list! AF turned up this morning, finally get to start fresh. A tiny bit of me was upset coz it just means that the whole miscarriage is over and that's it now, I'm just back ttc. But really I was hoping it wouldn't work this month just coz I spent the whole time spotting and I think I felt like I needed to start on a fresh new cycle.

Really though I should be happy that AF was only a week later than usual. I know some ladies take months to get their AF back after miscarriages - even very early ones. Silly body - does everything right except hang on to M's siblings!

Hi everyone else, hope you're all well x

sweet girl. Your appointment is soon isn't it? Hopefully you can get some answers.

Lots of loves for you

Cossi...ta! any chance of adding EDD to the duffers-girls on the list?

Taralynn...my Fertility Specialist recommends COQ-10 and a good conception vitamin for those TTC. There is a whole thread on it here on BNB including links to the scientific research that shows it's effective in improving egg quality.

2mums...stop making me jealous! I used to live in MN, and I looooove all the Thanksgiving foods. Probably why I put on 10kg in one year when I lived there!

 

[Rosie_PA]

Amber I am so sorry you dont get a proper thanksgiving! I would box some of everything up and send to you if I could! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite meals!!!! Did you mention the stuffing?!?! That's my favorite part!!! Your pumpkin muffins did look pretty amazing! I love sweets so would throw some cream cheese frosting on them and call them cupcakes!!! Oh that reminds me, I loooove pumpkin rolls too! Do you ever make them?

 

[number2woohoo]

My first husband was Canadian and I did try all those Thanksgiving foods. And I have done North American Christmas. I have to say I still think marshmallows have no place in the main course, lol. Also, pumpkin is not desert. It is a vegetable. However, a well cooked turkey... yum yum yum. I think brining them is the best method.
So pleased it is EDB's last day today.
I've developed a huge new respect this week for any stay at home mum who has a tidy house. How? I am totally zonked. And my house looks like nothing on earth, lol.

I'm going to show DF this! He thinks because I'm am home a lot this would mean a tidier house.... but actually the house would be tidier if I was at work as they'd be no gremlin to mess it up! The only day my house is completely tidy for the whole day is the one day a week M goes to daycare.

Also, I love when my mum looks after M. She has a very tidy house (no gremlins live there anymore) and it's always destroyed after M has been there for a while. Makes me feel better about my own place

 

[Lisasmith]

My house is only tidy when I know people are coming over. Show up unexpected and you'll see carnage and mayhem

 

[Newbie32]

Well even without kids I struggle! Dh is a neat freak and is always complaining about mess....god help him when there are children!!!

 

[Abby27]

Both DH and i are messy! Kitchen is always clean, but thats it!

GInny im glad that you are back ttc, i know its hard, but its great your body is doing all the right things. i take that as a good sign. i thnk yams are sweet potato???

well YAAAAY EDB last day! i behaved quite well, popped into the farewell party for the speeches and then left with urgent work that had to be done (no really!).
the whole day felt sort of bitter sweet. why i am SO glad that i dont have to have this struggle at work any more, and hopefully after this weekend in my life any more, there is total envy there. there she was doing her speech how she is going to miss coming into work, and working any more (i dont think she knows how much work a baby is) and excited about the next chapter of life....i wish it was me saying those things, or at least wish it was on the cards. it highlighted for me the huge amount of doubt i have around my fertility. and how sad that makes me!
i do think that EDB is quite unprepared for how much work this will mean! and that pleased me some.
so although im super happy, also bitter and cranky! is that weird?

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Nana - nice temp today, Glad your body is playing along. Naughty FF. It may think you are having an anovulatory cycle with the crazy temps. I think you Ov'd either 2 days ago most likely, possible back when we first thought just with some craziness after. I say expect AF in 10 days and if she isn't here, TEST!! woo hoo! Wish it wasn't so confusing for you hun!

Cossi - great catch up! Thanks hun, hope you're feeling ok. And it's still early days, lots of time to think about your boss etc. Just wrap you head around what you want first then talk when you figure it out.

2mums - I don't like sweet. I like the concept still...sounds so strange I don't know how it Can't be good! haha I would defo try, possibly get through 2-3 bites, maybe stop there. lol Either that or have it with a hot drink, that always helps me eat sweet stuff. lol Xmas is going to be awesome this year & next!

Ginny - yep! I love roast veggies in salads! The best! when I make salads for lunch it's normally salad with cold meat eg ham or chicken, lots of cold roast veggies (can heat them if you really want to...) and cashews! yum! It's so filling, so healthy, but a real meal! lol So glad the witch arrived (but really sad at the same time) I'm glad for the being able to move on. I hop eyou're doing ok. And I think you might join in this cycle with the others! BFP time baby!

Girls I think most people's houses are messy at some point or another. can't help but mess it up, and tidying all the time would result in no sleep!

Abs - not weird to feel that way. glad she's gone hun.

I have a random question - cos DSS is going to have a new baby at his mum's house in May (and a new cousin a few weeks later for his grandparents to be paying attention to alswell) and then we will have a baby in June, I'm worried that this will be HUGE for him & am wondering the best way to approach the bringing home new baby thing on top of blended family thing after he has to go through it at his mums not long before with us. Does anyone know of any good books or anything that I can read? I just want to make sure he stays involved & doesn't find it harder than it has to be for him. I haven't started any research yet, I just thought someone may know a good book to read just to get some ideas??

I'm off to a mate's for tea tonight, Will catch up with you all soon! xixix

 

[Pauls_angel]

Hi all

Abs yay for edb last day!!! You only have to see her one more time then that's it for good!

Shell I don't know of any books about that - sorry hun! But my step bro went thru the same thing when my mum and his mum both had babies around the same time - he was jet excited that he got to play with a baby at both houses but he wasn't an only child to start with so was used to not getting all the attn so I guess it is a bit different.

Ginny I'm pleased that you get a fresh start and that it hasn't taken months and months for your body to return to normal - I hope we get to be bump buddies - you me abs and sash!

Hope work wasnt too boring today Sasha!

Hi Rosie! You have to fly out for thanksgiving next year too!

Kiwi and Maddy - have been thinking of you both! Hoping for good news from both of you soon!!!

Awesome catch up cossie! I hope your body clock gets back to normal soon!

Hi to all others!!!

 

[Newbie32]

Thanks squeegs!!! Time will tell I guess!!

Abs I think that is perfectly normal hun xx yay for the wicked witch being gone!!!

Angel I so hope your flatlined temp means there is a bean traveling to its new 9 mth home!!! Fx!!!!

Hi to everyone else just home and need to cook dinner and get to tennis xxx

 

[Pauls_angel]

I hope so too sash! Your temp was almost a flatline today too - here's hoping this month will bring good news all round!

What are you cooking for dinner?

 

[Newbie32]

Hope so angelcakes!!!!

Pasta night tonight, energy for three hours of bloody tennis!!!!

Xx

 

[Pauls_angel]

Enjoy your dinner and have fun at tennis!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

ginny- yams are just another name for sweet potato. Your body is getting back into gear, and M will get that sibling!

maddy- its so good isnt it?!? Easy to gain 10 lbs between thanksgiving and xmas!!

rosie- thanks for the thought, so wish it were possible, but i just have to hold out for a few more weeks! The pumpkin muffins, I've had them at every thanksgiving since I can remember, my aunt (the sick one) makes them every year, its her recipe, so its nice to have them this year. And i agree, stuffing is the best. I made stuffing last year, all the aussies loved it, they all agreed it was better than the stuffing they are used to. So good! Never made pumpkin rolls, i think my sister does though, might have to steal the recipe!

i'm with you, i have a hard enough time picking up around the house without kids, so will be interesting to see how it goes. OH is clean but not tidy, so im constantly picking up after her! Enjoy tennis, try not to hit anyone

abby- nothing beats a clean kitchen, every night its fairly spotless, i hate waking to dishes! Glad you are nearly rid of ebd for good!!!

shell- wish i had some helpful hints for you, im sure there is resources out there. Its so apparent what an awesome mum you will be, thinking about all this and preparing.

 

[Pauls_angel]

Yay kiwi I see you down there! Hope you're well gorgeous! X

 

[Pauls_angel]

shell- wish i had some helpful hints for you, im sure there is resources out there. Its so apparent what an awesome mum you will be, thinking about all this and preparing.

I agree - Shell you are already an amazing mum to dss and will do a fantastic job when you have your own! X
