Mads - still have my fingers crossed for you x
number2 - oh I like the PJ idea
M understands a bit more this year - he likes wearing a Santa hat and we have stocking for him and the dog, although he likes to pull them down. We're putting up our tree tonight, once again not sure how long it will stay up for though! Last year he was learning how to pull himself up and cruise around the furniture, we nearly had the tree topple over a few times from M trying to use it to help him stand!
When I was younger I use to love seeing presents get added to under the tree over the couple of weeks leading up to Christmas, but at the moment with M and now the puppy we'll just have to put everything out on Christmas Eve!
We're going to visit Santa sometime this week too I also have to find a decoration to add to the tree - last year I got a "baby's first christmas" type decoration, so I thought it'd be a nice tradition to get one special decoration for M every year
I also think I might steal Ab's idea and try and make a gingerbread tree! If M is going to eat crap over Christmas, gingerbread actually seems like a bit of a lesser evil!
I made orange and cranberry wholemeal scones for M's playgroup party - I thought they were nice and Christmassy and weren't too bad for him either!
M woke up to a temp and diarrhea today
Hope it doesn't turn into full blown gastro

It is probably stretching of the uterus. Keep in mind it has to grow an awful lot in a short space of time. So just stretching pains. If you start getting bad cramping with bleeding then you may have a mild freak out - not with twinges though. In fact if you are only feeling twinges, just you wait. x

yeah, I think gingerbread is a great idea. What's a good recipe?
We also have a new decoration for the tree each year. Last year it was a baby's first christmas bauble, this year a "Harrison" bauble. I was thinking of ordering one if it isn't too late that is in a catelogue I got at home for personalisd christmas crap. Like a bedhead, with "the xxxx family" on it, then a little face inthe bed for each member of the family, which you personalise with their names. Then next year I could get another one, with an extra name on it!

She's still laughing at the hippo fart, bahaha
Funny buggers Well I POAS and got a BFN. But today's blood test was inconclusive -HCG was in the levels they consider a "maybe".... So I have to go back on Wed for another blood test. I strongly suspect AF will arrive before then though...
Well I POAS and got a BFN. But today's blood test was inconclusive -HCG was in the levels they consider a "maybe".... So I have to go back on Wed for another blood test. I strongly suspect AF will arrive before then though...Thanks all It really does mean a lot to have supportive people around me.
Sadly it's not THAT promising...my progesterone dropped from 78 to 51 which isn't a good sign. And my HCG was only 6.4. They consider 0-4.9 to be a BFN. Levels of 5.0 - 50) are a "maybe". So I'm really on the lower borderline and combined with the progesterone drop there's actually very little hope. AFAIK it's just dotting i's and crossing t's for the fertility specialist's file at this point.

Ok Ginger bread! make at your own farting risk!
Ingredients
125g butter, softened
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Silver cachous, to decorate
Step one Preheat oven to 160°C. Brush 2 baking trays with melted butter to lightly grease.
Step 2
Use an electric beater to beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add the golden syrup and egg yolk and beat until combined. Stir in the flour, ginger, mixed spice and bicarbonate of soda. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Press dough into a disc. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 60 minutes to rest.
Step 3
Place the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper and roll out until about 4mm thick. Use a 9cm gingerbread man cutter to cut out shapes. Place on trays about 3cm apart. Repeat with any excess dough. Note i just used a bench and didnt worry about the between 2 sheets of baking paper
Step 4
Bake in oven for 10 minutes or until brown. Remove from oven. Transfer to a rack to cool.
to make a tree: I used star shaped cookie cutters of various sizes, and then once cooled decorated as i wanted and stacked one star on top of the other askew. using icing to clue each one on top. then dusted with icing suger for snow affect.
too easy!

Abs - I think you need to change your resolution to 'get another job' if yuo want your first resolution to stick.
2 mums - such a tough time, hope you're ok!
Angel - yay for holidays!
Maddy - That sucks, it's such a waiting game! But you're not out yet! It's a good sign that it wasn't flat out negative. everything crossed for Wed! and that witch bettwr stay away!!!
Ababa - your chrissy sounds great!
Nana - glad you're safe & sound over there! looking forward to getting you back over here & DH's SA!
Lainey - I had exactly the same thing today. except really bad. had me doubled over, crying on the bathroom floor, I couldn't move. I was going to get DH to take me to the hospital if it lasted, but it went away and I haven't had any bleeding. I have been having twinges all day though. more painful stabbing/pulling than just dull AF cramps. This morning I felt like someone was tearing out my uterus! Are you feeling ok now?
Ginny - I agree, I loved watching the present pile grow!
Cossi - always great to see you on here! Hope that MS goes away soon!
AFM I'm tired as anything this afternoon, we (DH & I) both had a pretty terrible sleep last night, I'm going to eat my dinner which is just about ready & head off to bed!
