Bellys to Bumps

Of course traskey I didn't think about that. I suppose as far as being quizzed about kids goes I'm really lucky in that respect. In fact I'm lucky anyway - if we're going to have troubles conceiving we are lucky to finding out about it in our 20's so we have time to deal with it.

I think I need to be more grateful for my lot - at least until we know if there's something to really worry about
 
Evening ladies!

Jen brem, first of all, i just want to snuggle with your dog! So cute! I did a little squeak when I saw your avatar!!

I've had a big sunday roast, with loads of veg, super bloated now but unfortunately for hubby, the "bloat" is turning to rather cabbagey trumps! :haha:

I think I need to find my journal and actually start updating it!

We've been looking at cars today for hubby, and he's found one he likes, its really nice, and is completely family friendly! So maybe now the house is completely as we want it, and if we get the "family" car maybe the baby will come to us??? :haha: yeah right!

I'm due to ov next whilst we're on holiday (2 weeks today, eek!) so I am totally going to chain hubby to the bed for the entire week! Come on holiday baby!

Pixie, we have a few people who know, but that's only because I so wanted a baby for about a year before we got married, and was very vocal about it, hubby said we could start ttc once we were married, so again my mouth went in to action. Now nearly 3 years on and no baby i think it's quite obvious for us. BUT we don't get asked half as much anymore when we are going to have a baby! So there's always a positive! :haha:

Oh no, I meant no offense Lil Pixie :cry: I just meant I wish we could use that excuse too! Would shut people up without causing anyone to be uncomfortable. Saying you're infertile tends to make people uncomfortable for sure.

PS, what's up with BnB tonight, the web site is being a pain!
 
Apologies in advance - have been SUPER busy last couple of days building (or supervising the building of!) the log cabin.

Zowiey, 2.5lbs is fabulous! Well done, especially after eating naughty food - must mean that your body needs a treat for doing so well! I use a couple of sites for streaming US TV. One is called cucirca and the other is sidereel. The latter is my favourite.

Imogen, I'm so chuffed the South Beach Diet is working for you - FX'd you get to change your ticker soon with a big loss!

Lovie, well done on STS - always better than gaining. Sorry you are feeling poorly chick, but glad you are on the mend. I had all four of my wisdom teeth come through at the same time - ouchies! 9dpo is very early to be testing chick - hold on a few more days and try again. FX'd for you.

Cranberry, I just want to come and grab you to give you the biggest hug! You've been so down lately that I think you really need some TLC. I think our (all the ladies on Bellys) annoucements will be much easier than anything on FB because we are all expecting it. FB can be such a surprise and not an area where you would expect anyone to say 'We're TTC'!

Strawberry, sorry, I have to correct you - 1kg = 2.2lbs so you have to give yourself an even bigger pat on the back hunny! YAY!!!

Pixie, I love watching baby programmes, even before we started TTC. FX'd for a 3lber for Tuesady. I've also left a post in yout journal chick. Go to Home Helth UK to buy your CBFM - much cheaper than the high street.

Lisa, so sorry about your bfn hunny - that sucks. Could you test again in a few days? We've all been there a million times and it certainly doesn't get any easier, does it? I hope you get to go to the gym lots during your time off.

Traskey, I'm so sorry the last supper gave you indigestion! That's so unfair, but shows that your body is getting used to the meal replacement shakes which is a good thing (in prep for LL). How is it going (I know it's only day 2!)? Loving the journal plan - will be over shortly to stalk hun. Also a really easy way of doing a link for your journal but only saying text that isn't the address is to type the word (e.g. click here), highlight it and then just paste the link and BnB will do it for you automatically. You made me giggle with your menopause/periods comment but it is soooo damn true!

Emmy, I'm so sorry I made you emotional the other night - I feel bad that I've made others feel this way as I know EXACTLY what it feels like. Well done on the exercise. An extra 5 mins here, or and extra 0.5km there on the treadmill all adds up

Twinkle, loving the FB status that you could NEVER post!!!! I've been there too; legs up and on BnB!!!

Hi :wave: to anyone else I've missed.

AFM I did a sneaky WI on Sat morning and I was 91.7kg again which is great! The first tri usually has very little weight gain so I'm going to try and lose a little more (on a super healthy, but not crazy eating plan - I hate the word diet!).

The moon was AMAZING last night, wasn't it! I couldn't believe how big it was, and it was such a lovely colour too.

Will post other news in my journal ladies - hope that's ok (don't think it's fair to do it in here).

Hello lovely ladies! I am way behind on here again. I just can't keep up with you all!! I kept up my exercise this week but I am not feeling the shift! Spent most of the day cleaning the garden so I hoping I managed to pull in some last minute weight loss. WI tomorrow. Only probs is I am away for two nights for work - two nights of hotel food...is tough!! Will try be super good and am taking my gym stuff to use their gym - will hopefully make up for any naughtiness on the food front.

Hope you all had a good weekend. Hugs for all xx

Yes! Zowiey, find your journal so we can stalk you :happydance:

House, check. Car large enough for children, check. Next stop :bfp: Ooooo holiday baby, that would be awesome!
 
Hey Zowiey - glad its not just me - the chilli on Thurs did the same thing!

Lovie - boo to wisdom teeth - I've had 1 out & I think another 1 is peeking through

Cranberry - huge big cuddles from me xxxxx
 
Amanda - I had 4 days away on a conference a few weeks ago & lost 5.5lbs that week - well done for taking your gym stuff!
 
Tarkwa - thought I'd posted on your journal but now can't find it - although it was while I had my legs in the air so I might have messed up!
 
I've started being a lot more open about LTTTC with people & although it doesn't stop people asking - at least they do it in a more sensitive way now!
 
Traskey - I know you didn't mean I like that Hun - it just made me think is all - I am really lucky in a way. If we were going to have ferility issues we were going to regardless of what age we start trying. most of my friends don't even want to think about kids till they're in their thirties and I'm so so glad we started ttc when I was 22. Even if nothing else is working out right I have time on my side and I should remember that!

Tarkwa Thanks so much for the advice! I'm popping over to h&h website in just a sec . . .
 
good morning ladies :)

trasky you spoke about the roast dinner like food was dead! you can eat again some day you know :hugs::hugs:

amanda enjoy your time away with work, your so good taking your gym stuff!

tarkwa its lovely to here from you i will be over to your journal to catch up with news!

twinkle im glad your friends and family have become more sensitive on with the baby questions :)

zowie i hope the family car is a good omen and your bfp is just around the corner :)

jen you said no to gravy? you are a stronger lady than me!!

lisa its good that they saw you after only 6 months, im dreading going to the docs!

cranberry i love that comeback to peoples "your next" comment! that would be the last time they questioned you!

as for the age thing i must say i do use the "im young" reply when i get questioned about it (im not that young im 26) also i use that i dont have a full time job and am just settling into a new country as excuses. really it isnt the perfect time to have a baby but i just feel like it is right for us, i know that the baby would have clean cloths and food and we have a home and a car, its just that we dont have a house and i cant speak swedish fantastically but i think its most important for a baby to have love and we will definatly love them!

AFM im still feeling a little groggy, no class today so some recouperation time i think! we are going to veiw a house at 6 and then we are going to a pub quiz at an english pub with some friends, i really hope i am feeling well enough because im super excited! bring on the diet coke for me!

i hope your all well :) xxx
 
Good morning ladies! How are you all today?

zowiey yay on finding a good family car. I bought myself a new car right before ttc, one big enough for all of us - dh, dogs, cats and even a baby. That was one reason for me getting a big car, but thankfully not the only one, wouldn't I be feeling idiotic right now? lol Fx that it brings you luck! :thumbup:

I've only told my best friend we're ttc, and as she's not ttc herself nor likely to in the near future (I hope!!!), I've really quit talking to her about it. She's great, don't get me wrong, doesn't ask if I don't want to tell, and doesn't offer any idiotic advice, it's just that I know she doesn't understand how awful this feels. And, of course, I can hardly talk about it without starting to cry these days...

DH definitely doesn't want anyone to know we're having problems or even ttc, but I'm hoping that if we need IVF or something he'll let me tell my parents - they would help financially with it all. But we'll see how it goes. So far I'm very happy people don't know, as the expectations would be too much for me to handle, let alone questions. I know my parents would be very excited, as I'm my father's only child, so his only chance for grandchildren, and my mom is besotted with my sister's kids already. Mom has dropped some hints the last few years, but perhaps she's gotten the message that I really don't want to hear baby news etc, because I just comment briefly and change the subject.

On some days even hearing someone is pregnant and that it's not me is too much, and often those seem to be the days pregnant women and babies are everywhere. That's when I even avoid places like this forum, because you can't avoid it here! I know someone else getting pregnant doesn't take anything away from me, but I always get the 'Why her, and not me?" thing anyway. Or perhaps "Why not me too?" is more like it. Sorry ladies, I know I'm awful, but it's been another one of those mornings here, everyone discussing their babies over coffee at work, complaining about not getting enough sleep etc, and all I wanted to do was tell them I'd be happy to stay up with a baby, they should try being infertile for a while and see which they'd like better! :growlmad:

At least my weight seems to be going down, so that's something, right? =)
 
yay that your weight is going down strawberry. I feel the same about other people getting pregnant (people I know from school etc) ... oddly enough it doesn't bother me when my friends on here get their bfps before me, it gives me hope that it's got to be my turn soon if that makes sense and I'm over the moon for them :D

I've been very good this morning, I went to focus to get a couple more testers to try out at the house today and on the way back I went to mcdonalds. All I got was a brekkie meal for Chris and nothing for me, whereas I normally would have got the same as Chris :happydance:

Painting today, and I think Chris is doing a few trips to the tip too :thumbup:
 
lovie sounds like fun, hope you're feeling better by evening! :hugs:

Emmy well done on not getting anything for yourself!:happydance: I don't know if I could have managed.

And I agree, it's different when the lady getting pg has a story similar to my own, but others that don't have the same type of history don't really make me feel hopeful anymore. How horrible is that?!?
 
I had no lunch today as I was working - so I've just eaten 2 pain au chocolat left over from my group this morning - 14 ww points :cry::cry:
 
aww twinkle dont worry they are french they count as a cultural experience... allways worth the points :) im going for ikea meatballs again tonight and i dont even try to figure out how many calories is in them as they are cultural right? like curries and chinese hehe :) seriously tho hun, if you had no lunch you needed something to keep you going :) :hugs::hugs:

just catching up on emails from my family, i miss them so much especially my cousin, she has 2 girls 7 and 18 months and they are the most lovely children ever! hearing all about how they are doing i wish so much they lived around the corner! they are coming over for a week in the summer tho so that should be good :)

i hope your all well, :hugs::hugs:xx
