Bellys to Bumps

[EmmyReece]

Yeah it's our first home ...

They left us to have a nosey around after he'd given us the keys and stuff and it felt really surreal. I had to get into the bath because normally I have trouble getting my backside into them and I had no trouble, which means I can treat myself to some stuff from lush

Just need a lickle babba to fill that perfect nursery sized room

 

[twinkle1975]

Yay Emmy that's great news!!! Very excited for you! The Comforter Bubble Bar is my fav Lush bath thing - its smells lovely, makes the bath bright pink & you can get 2 or 3 baths out of one if you break it up!
I'm not bothering to go to WW tonight - I've just got weighed at home & I've stayed the same - can't be coping with dragging down there for them to tell me that.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Emmy that's wonderful news!! Do you live with your oh now? It looks like a lovely place - all ready to move in to.

Well my boobs started hurting today so I'm guessing that but of spotting on tues was ov - and we haven't bd since last weekend - GUTTED!! I know we don't have that much of a chance after all this time anyway, but when I know there's no chance I get really grouchy  so im thinking af is due 14 days from now ish - is that 31st or something? That's ruined my sodding day!

 

[lovie]

hia all

lil pixie sorry to here your day has been ruined

twinkle there doesnt seem much point in going to ww for a sts, at least it isnt a gain im expecting one tomorrow! enjoy your evening

lisa sorry about the gain, as i said to twinkle i think i will be joining you in gaining tomorrow!

emmy congratulations on the house it looks perfect! I love the hard floors in the living area, very precticle for when you get your little baby! the rooms look lovely and the little bedroom looks just perfect for a baby (or 2!)

Afm we went to ikea for dinner and it was cheap and yum (maybe not so healthy!) then i skyped with my mum and sister oh i miss them so much!

hi to everyone else! xxx

 

[zowiey]

Hello!

Wow Emmy the house looks amazing, congrats! Bet you're really excited?

Hope everyone is doing ok?

[EmmyReece]

well done on the weight loss zowiey

sorry you didn't lose anything twinkle, but fair play for not putting anything on.

hope you're still in with a chance Lil_Pixie, maybe bd tonight just in case?

lovie, what did you have from ikea? I can't begin to imagine what it must be like living so far away from your family, makes me glad for all this technology we have

I have to say, I haven't been on the ball with food today because it's been too exciting to remember to eat healthily

I'm so excited, I really can't wait to turn the tiny room into a nursery

 

[lovie]

emmy i had a prawn starter and a small meatballs with boild potatos. its nice that the house is so nutural you can add some splashes of colour in the curtains and furniture depending on if you had a boy or girl

zowie thats great news about the loss!

xx

you girls really keep me going thanks xxxx

 

[lovie]

good morning all

imogen wanted im glad to here the south beach diet is going great! I love the name of the diet

AFM this morning i weighed myself and i sts, im glad it isnt a gain! but i do need these pounds to be moving a bit quicker! i think i have been a bit distracted this week with the ttc side of things, im 7 dpo so only another 7 to go, if AF comes this month (FX she doesnt!) I think it will be easier to refocus on the weight loss side of things and hopefully start a new more rigid diet. I', off into the city today for leasure rather than work, im meeting a friend for a hot chocalaot and a wonder around the shops, I am going to buy the book Jonathan Franzen-'Freedom' because i have joined an english speaking bookgroup, I have never been in a book group I hope its fun!

happy friday to all of you!

 

[cranberry987]

I dont know how you guys can diet and ttc at the same time. I'm totally off my diet again after 3 days >< hormones and emotions just all over the place and it's impossible not to comfort eat. Trying to do 50% at least dieting and then at least maybe I'll STS.

Going To the gym later but only for body balance so won't use that many calories. Have a good day all

 

[Lil_Pixie]

It's my day off today, and I'm sat at home watching all the baby programmes on discovery home and health - MISTAAAAKE! I feel so sad - I'm thinking about going back to using protection for a while. Just posted in my journal so I won't go back into it all again, but I don't feel like it'll ever happen for us &#58376;

 

[cranberry987]

Hi pixie. Sorry you're feeling so down. Stop watching the baby progs tho and put some rubbish soap or drama or talk show on that'll take your mind off things. Ltttc is horribly stressful and were all here for you. Also look at your avatar, take your own advice and think about the things which make you smile

Good morning ladies (or rather lunch time for me!)

Lil pixie I so understand where you're coming from, I get that feeling myself. I really can't picture it happening for us anymore either. But we just have to believe it will!

cranberry I'm just desperate to get the weight off to get treatments (I assume we need them, though don't know what's wrong yet) - it's obviously not happening naturally, and with this all of this weight I won't get a baby through treatments, so have to keep at it. It does make it a little easier, for me, to focus more on losing weight than on ttc. I don't know if I can manage it if I have to get on Clomid or something, but for now it's working.

imogen glad to hear the south beach diet is working for you!

lovie sts is definitely much better than gaining, we all have off weeks.

AFM nothing new here. Lovely day again, perhaps another walk tonight? Or maybe some zumba. Will see how I feel when I get home. DH is off to visit his parents and friends on the weekend, so I have the house all to myself! =)

So what's everyone's plans for the weekend?

 

[Lisa84]

Gooooood morning all!!

Happy Friday

Well done on the weightloss Zo

Sorry you are feeling down Pix. Rather than going back to protection couldn't you jst go down the NTNP route. Ya never know it just might happen for you. I still watch all those programmes even tho they do upset me they also give me alot of hope and excitment that it WILL be me one day! xxx

AFM I'm absolutely knackered and have been for about 3 days I'm 11DPO and got a this morning I hate how the body plays tricks on you with pg and AF symptoms being the same. I was a little more excited this time because i am so tired and my breasticles are more sore than normal but nope still no
I had a treat days yesterday and didn't really eat too well but i am back on it today. I am off work till Thursday on study leave so i fully intend on going to the gym loads!! xxx

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Aw Lisa I'm no expert on testing but isn't 11dpo still early?

I could go down that route, but I feel like my dh isn't really in this with me - he pushed and pushed until I agreed to ttc in the first place, but I don't think he really considered what that might mean. If he doesn't wantto bd he won't - whether it's around ov or not isn't relavent to him at all. I kind of think maybe if we go back to using protection he will have to decide what he wants - ntnp isn't going to work for us and I think he just doesn't think about ttc at all. I can't go on like this anymore, wondering about every twinge etc. I think I've come to a point where I need it to either be do everything we can with him on board, or give up and get on with my life. I'm just so exhausted with this whole thing.

 

[Lisa84]

Aww sweetie i completely understand how you feel. My OH was the one that said right it's time to TTC (ive been ready forever) but he has a very low sex drive and like your OH i don't think he realised just what it entailed so after another cycle of literally having to beg him BD on the right days i had a strop and said that i was going back on the pill as i was sick of getting my hopes up every month even tho i knew there was no chance of being pg and i couldn't take the diapointment anymore. It worked but he still has his off months xx

 

[twinkle1975]

Pixie - sorry you're struggling at the mo - its so hard, I think we don't give ourselves enough credit for not going totally bonkers!
Cranberry, I'm the same as Strawberry - its not happening naturally & to get any help I'll need to lose a shed load of weight so TTC is still carrying on but in the background of losing weight.
Lisa sorry about the BFN

Afternoon all,

I've been working like an absolute demon this week and not finishing until midnight so have hardly had time to peak in on you all.

Emmy ~ fantastic news, I am so happy for you! Truly. Aren't you glad you didn't get that other house now

to all of the losses and sts this week!

and hugs to those that have gained. Hope you have a better week next week.

I have been so bad this week. I know it's all in the mind. I won't be allowed food for goodness knows how long so i'll just have a sandwich. Last night DH and I decided to go out for dinner, like the last meal of the condemned woman The problem was i've been so good on the shakes plus a healthy meal for 2 weeks that the chinese buffet gave me chronic indigestion at 4am! Serves me right Consequently, i've stayed the same this week but I don't mind too much.

 

[EmmyReece]

Emmy ~ fantastic news, I am so happy for you! Truly. Aren't you glad you didn't get that other house now

I'm over the moon that we didn't get the other houses now

I don't know, it just feels right. I can see us having a family there. We've basically been told it's ours for as long as we want it for

The tenancy agreement is all signed now, I have a couple of pots of tester paint to try out on the walls on monday ... so now it's just furniture shopping.

I probably won't be around much until we get it all sorted, but I'll be checking back as often as possible and keeping everything crossed that when I'm back properly, there might be a couple of bfps for the ladies in their 2ww
