That sounds so neat! I love looking at your pictures around that property and inside the castle. I've never even seen in a real castle before and your LIVING in one! It sounds so nice!

hun that looks like the place where they filmed part of the recent show about the Amish teenagers that came to the UK to experince "real life" that was on Channel 4

There was a show filmed there stuffed it was called, cookery thing where chefs where judged etc. Was on tv.


I dont know how my son understands there is a baby in my belly because he likes looking at babies on tv and pics and asking what they are smiling but when I asked him where the baby was when i was feeding him he pointed at my belly! finger right on it smiling at me! he gets to feel the baby a lot since he lies around bump feeding and he rubs it for me to. He was asking for a long time what it was though, like you cant miss the belly.

awww, william sounds just far too cute!

 

[lynnikins]

Nate understood too that there was a baby in there and would point to my tummy when asked where the baby was

 

[cleckner04]

That's so cute! I hope Emma understands whenever I get pregnant again. It would be sweet having her be the big sister. I can't wait! I wish I were pregnant already!!

 

[florabean1981]

i wish I was pregnant again too. I really loved being preggers, lol.

 

[cleckner04]

We are trying but it seems BFing has taken it's toll on my cycles and ovulation. I guess my body just isn't ready yet.

 

[Dragonfly]

I didnt get preg tilll after William was a year old and i used nothing the whole year. Was planned i used ovulation tests but they always showed neg yet I know they where lying as the preg test of same make showed negs yet I obviously am pregnant.

I have like 4 weeks left of something. Seems like nothing and i feel like i blinked and got here.

 

[cleckner04]

My issue is, I am ovulating and it shows up on OPKs but I'm ovulating too late so a pregnancy would never stick. My luteal phase is like 8 days. It needs to be 10 to get pregnant with a sticky bean. We have only tried on cycle so far and have one more cycle to try before DH leaves for 7 months. So the pressure is on. I'm tossing the OPKs though. It makes things too stressed. We are just going to have and hope for the best this month.

Cleckner - I was going to suggest agnus castus (I think!) which can help with short leutal phases, but I think you need a while for it to work so probably won't help in your situation. Good luck though!

 

[cleckner04]

I'll have to look into that! Just in case my cycles aren't sorted by the time DH gets back. I figure it's okay either way because if I don't get pregnant yet, I'll just lose a ton of weight while he's gone instead.

 

[florabean1981]

ok, so I have no idea what OPKs are or leutal phases or anything like that.... we just stopped using contraception in october, dtd a few times, then got pregnant with harry beginning of january 09... so i guess that put us in the NTNP catagory, so we'll probably just do the same thng this time. I've only had 2 periods so far & both times it was just spotting, & I'm cramping today, so will probably come on tomorrow I reckon. I think my body is nowhere near ready to carry another baby yet. Plus Harry's feeding & SLEEPING (!!!!! I need some darn sleep!) is all over the place at the moment, which I am sure will affect my cycle, whatever my cycle is, lol.

 

[cleckner04]

I truly wish I didn't know what I do about my cycle now. I think it's better to just be relaxed about it. I know nothing about charts or any of that. In fact I didn't even do the OPKs right at the beginning of the month either. But I had a lovely girl on here teach me how to do them. Otherwise I'm hopeless.

 

[lynnikins]

im stuck im not on the minipill caus it was messing me up and i was putting on weight really fast on it we dont want another right now though had one proper period since coming off the mini pill so will see what next month holds i should have really charted my last period
ooppps

I'll be so jealous if you accidentally fall pregnant. I've seen so many accidental pregnancies on here lately.

I know, right?!!!! People seem to be falloing pregnant like it's as easy as catching a cold!!!!!

Hubby & I had great sex during august, lol & secretly I was a bit gutted when spetember's period came, lol.... We haven't sone it since then coz he did some nasty stuff that it's taken me a while to get over; we only started sleeping in the same bed again 3 nights ago & now he's away for a week, lol... We're off camping for his birthday next weekend, so maybe then we can have some groovy make up sex & start the pro-creation & recreation again

 

[cleckner04]

I've seen girls that only have a 3 month old baby already pregnant again! On one hand I know that would be horrible. It really would. I couldn't imagine having a newborn right now with Emma. But on the other hand, I'm still jealous.

flora-Sorry you guys were having some problems. Been there! Dh's are idiots sometimes. You'll probably be pregnant before I will again! At this rate, I won't be able to try again until june.

 

[florabean1981]

Hubby really wants us to get pregnant again before xmas.... I'm in no major rush; if it happens it happens, but I have to admit, the sooner the better, hehe! But I also dont want to have another october baby... or a september one, or a december one for that matter coz it's just too damn expensive in my family as we're all autumn born babies!!!! But I think that's just me ebing too picky!

I just started taking pregnancare multivitamins again & also switched back to decaf stuff in an attempt to get a bit healthier, but my cravings for white chocolate & copious amounts of homemade cupcakes is hindering my progress on the heath front.... couple that with how crap Harry's eating/drinking/sleeping etc is & how he is into everything 24/7 it seems, I am throughly knackered most of the time, so healthiness, sex etc is the last thing on my mind. It's gone 11pm here & harry's still awake & causing mayhem & madness..... gonna be a long night!
