Well done to Giada, what a proud moment that must have been. Darcey is trying but not quite there yet.

Good luck lady, looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Sorry your poorly Trix, it rubbish feeling ill and looking after LO's. At least you have the childminder on hand.

Dreamer, I agree with Trixie, it does have SOME perks going back to work. Im really enjoying my job now im part time, and make more of the time I have with Darcey when Im off. I hope you dont feel too sad about it, It will take getting used to, but you'll get there :)
Have a safe journey home and wrap up warm...tis freezing!!! So pleased to hear youve had such a lovely time. You've just remionded me I need a hair cut!!!

Trixie, sorry Bout the bfn. Hope you feel better soon.

Good luck catching the egg Lilrojo!!

Have fun planning Darcy's bday party Claire. It is fun!! But time consuming. Jacks is next week and I've still got tons to do!!!

Stranje, that's great that Giada has started doing more things! I know jack is starting to look less like a little baby and more like a little boy!! Makes me sad!!

Hi, hope you're well. And everyone else as well!! Must get to doing crafts for jacks bday while I have the chance!!!
 
ah congrats lady your scan pic is adorable!!.....

im feeling slightly more in the land of the living....not back to work till next week so ill rest as much as i can....AF due today.....no sign yet!

conor has his MMR today....great!
 
Hello baby!! super cute lady..

Im approaching o day.. :) and have just dtd the last 3 nights in a row lol
 
Great news on the scan, Lady! so exciting!! And what a great pic!

Trixie, hopefully no sign of AF means a bfp for you!?!

Good luck catching the egg, Lilrojo.

AFM, I'm out. AF arrived today. I was pretty sure I was out, since I've been temping again. Definitely not as depressing as it was before I had Eli. It's just so hard to find the time to DTD, I find, now, that I do worry about whether we'll every time it very well! As it was we only managed every other day during OV time! I'm so impressed you managed to do so many days in a row Lil! And with 2 kids!
 
Sorry to hear you're out this cycle working!! Good luck for the next one. It is def harder now to find the time to dtd after having a kid. (Or I feel that way). But remember, you only need one sperm!! Me and DH only had unprotected sex once around my fertile time and it was 4 days before I think I ovulated!! So anything is possible.

Lilrojo, you weren't kidding about TTC hardcore were you? Haha! Hope all your hard work pays off!!

Ooh, good luck Trixie!! When do you plan to test if AF stays away?
 
I think I've tested about 5 times now!!! Lol!!! All bfn so I'm sure the witch is round the corner!! Actually day 30 today so cycle is a little longer... No idea when I o'd.. I came off the pill again around sept time I think and it took a year for the triplets! So I'll Defo have to get the cbfm out!!

God dtd 3 nites in a row!! My poor oh hasn't ever got that!!!
 
Lol it's been me wanting to more than him and its not for ttc it's cuz I want to lol been fun working we do when both are in bed :)
 
HI Everyone!
Trixie I can't believe i forgot to wish conor a happy birthday!! I meant to in my last post! I hope he had a wonderful day! I hope you are feeling better and sorry about the bfn's :( I hope you are feeling better soon!

Lady great news on the scan!! That first one is the scariest! Congrats on a great scan!!

GOod luck lilrojo! I hope you caught the egg this month!!

Sorry about AF working :( I know what you mean about having time to dtd. We are not trying but there is no way we could find the time or energy like we did when conceiving last time. Poor dh hasn't gotten anything all month as I have been feeling like crap with allergies.

Glad you are enjoying work claire! Adult time is good sometimes too!!

So giada has woken every night for the past 8 nights. At least the last 2 nights I didn't have to pick her up, I just got her to lay down or gave her a cloth to suck on and she either went back to sleep or settled herself. Anyone else having this problem all of a sudden? She started on and off waking before christmas, but I kinda new the reason...she was either teething, or at times she hadn't eaten enough during the day and she was hungry. Then she was fine for a week and slept fine, and all of a sudden a week ago she started waking at night. I can't figure out if her molars are coming in or if it is something else. It started the day she took her first step, but she hasn't taken any steps since, but she is obsessed with walking. She wants to hold our hand and walk and walk and walk and starts to cry when you stop. I had read that sometimes they wake at night when reaching a new milestone. I changed her nap time so she is more tired at night now, maybe that is why I haven't had to pick her up and she will go right back to sleep. Any thoughts/advice?

Off topic, but has anyone else watched Homeland. I don't like to many shows but I'm obsessed!

Hope everyone is well!
 
dont know abt the waking stranje as conor has never been a good sleeper period....but if i advise anyone, usually its the milestone thing that i would say or teething!!!..and start the plan below!...
you defo need to cut out her milk at night and during the day and give her a bottle just for bed....

if they have more solid foods in their tummys they sleep better.....the reason that conor was waking in the night was that we wer putting him down over tired and some thing physiologically that wakes them....
so 1. put her to bed 1 hour earlier than usual...(this will take 2/3 nights to get used to)
2. to bath bottle story bed....then kiss... walk out...( if she cries....go in every couple of mins and shush her but dont lift her.....then out again)
3. if she wakes in the night...unless she is hysterical dont go near her ( have her in her own room) not sure if you have done this yet??
4. if she wakes after 6am get her up for the day and reorganise nap times....

do this for one week and she will stop waking in the night time....after 3 weeks move the time that you put her to bed up every 15 mins each week till you get her back to a time that suits you!

hope that helps!!

AFM......no AF ....BFN again and eggwhite discharge...WTF....dont get it...im on day 32???
why is this month different!!!havent went over 30 days in ages...

defo not pregnant as i dont feel it....but just annoyed at my cycle now!!
 
Ugh about the night waking Stranj. That's the worst. I agree with Trixie that you may want to try an earlier bedtime, since it's true that paradoxically the more overtired they are, the more they wake and/or have trouble staying asleep. We also recently stopped giving Eli more than 2 oz of formula at bedtime, because my Mommy and Me teacher suggested that perhaps he was waking early in the morning because of having an overly wet diaper. I know that I don't sleep well if I drink a bunch of liquid right before bed, so I thought I'd give it a whirl and it seems to have helped a lot. So now he has a big dinner of solid food and his last large bottle is before dinner (not right before of course). I am also obsessed with a book called the Sleep Easy Solution. It does involve a controlled crying approach (which I know is controversial on here - don't hate me!) but it is very gentle and they have tons of helpful other advice about handling sleep at different developmental times (such as right before/after a big milestone like Giada is going through). I'm dreading when Eli starts walking because I am sure it's going to totally mess up his sleep!
 
Thanks so much trixie and working! Giada slept fine last night (of course, after I ask for help lol) I have no problem with controlled crying, but i just have a sense that she is waking and uncomfortable. She has never had a problem self settling as she would wake a few times a week, but would just babble to herself, sometimes for up to half an hour, and then go back to sleep. The only thing that seemed to help was putting her to bed a little later, or giving her an early nap so she was really tired at night, so when she did wake this past week, she was so tired that she fell back asleep very quickly. I always heard that better naps and earlier bed time were the key, but they weren't working for her so I am guessing she truly was uncomfortable?? Ugh I wish she could talk so I could just know. Well she got her shots today so I am sure she will be messed up tonight as her whole day was messed up and she seemed off after her shots, so if next week she gets back on a bad run I will start the things you guys mentioned and see if that helps. Hopefully it was just teething or a milestone thing (all she wants to do is walk around holding our hands right now) and hopefully she is back on track. I am such a wimp when it comes to lack of sleep!! But what do you do if you go in and pat them and they go hysterical? I tried the other night..only let her cry for a minute before I went in, but that night she wanted to be picked up and when I tried to just rub her back she went hysterical and threw up EVERYWHERE! I knew she was feelign better the next couple nights becuase she didn't need to be picked up, just given a cloth to suck on etc. But what do you do if you have a baby htat goes hysterical and throws up? And it's not like I let her cry for an hour or something. She was probably in there 1 minute and then I tried to rub her back for about less than a minute and she freaked out! The dr today said they just go through phases for numerous reasons and it's just gonna happen. Well anyway thanks for your input! Hopefully I won't need to use it but at least I have it if I do!
I hope everyone is well! Trixie keep testing!! Something weird is going on!!! My batter is dying so I better send this before it goes! Happy weekend!!
 
well conor got his shots on thursday and was very sore that evening.... so i gave him 5 mls calpol and straight to bed and he slept from6.45pm to 6.30am......last nite it was back to 7.30pm to 6am!!....i consider him to be a goodish sleeper now but an early waker........will just have to get used to it!!!

he naps from 8.30am for 2 hours!!! and 1-3pm most days now....its great!

of course the minute i say that he wakes from his morning nap an hour later!!! only 8.15am till 9am!sods law!
 
giada was getting up at 6:30 when the time changed but now she is back to getting up at 7 or a little later, but she goes to bed at 8:30. If you put conor to bed later does he get up later? She did better than expected last night considering she was all messed up during the day. She usually has a nap at 1:30, but she skipped it because she had to go to the dr at 2:30, and the she took her nap at 4 so I kept her up til 10. She did wake once at around midnight I think, but I just patted her and gave her a cloth to suck on and she went back to sleep til 7:30. Sometimes she is really uncomfortable after her shots, but this time she seemed somewhat ok, just a bit off. She hasn't been eating her food though for some reason. She takes a few bites and then doesn't want more, unless it is plain yogurt or avocado. I hope she is not becoming picky!! She did this last time she was teething. Is this common with teething, they don't want to eat as much? And now all of a sudden she is throwing her food on the ground??
 
Oh I forgot to tell you guys that giada's motion monitor went off the other night. THat is why I don't have her in her own room yet. Supposedly her motion detector doesn't work with the mattress I have for her crib, so I wanted to wait til a year. I was finally comfortable with not using it anymore and it went off the other night!! It has gone off a few times because she rolls off the sensor but this time she was right on top of the sensor. I put my hand on her back and didn't feel her breath (but sometimes it is hard to feel, especially since I was panicked) so I shook her and she took a big breath. Not a gasp or anything like that, just a deep breath. I keep wondering if I dreamed that it went off. It gives a warning beep if it doesn't detect movement for 20 seconds, and that is what I thought I heard- the warning beep. The true alarm never went off because I put my hand there and then it would sense me even if she wasn't breathing. So now I am paranoid to move her!!!!
 
SIDS risk is really only for the first 6 months... After that they can move around much better... Conor starts off at top and ends up anywhere in the cot!!!! He snores too so don't have to worry that way as I have monitor in room!!

Need advice!! Can a luteal phase be longer than 14 days??? I'm around that now and still no hint of a pos??? No sign of af either??? Think I ovulated around day 18/19 I'm 33 now

If I ov later I think we dtd 3 times from day 19 till day 25 so would be covered! My heads wrecked lol!!
 
Trixie yeah i believe a lp can longer than 14 days.. a girl on here is as long as 16-17... just keep waiting and testing.. good luck..

I just got my pos. so should o tomorrow i bet.. :)
 
My lp. Used to go til 17 dpo
