[Mrs. JJ]

Omigosh Clandie, SOOOOOO cute!!!

YAY Fezzle!!!!! Let the "fun" begin!

Lilly - I'm totally in for the baby pic dealio, I'll throw some up tomorrow of Hubs and I in my journal! I know exactly what our kids will looks like cause Hubs and I could have been siblings.

 

[Fezzle]

Thanks! I've started a TTC journal, started an ovufriend chart and changed my ticker!

 

[lamago]

Have I told you i'm going to Hawaii next week! yay for us!

 

[LillyTame]

I don't recall you mentioning that lamago! Hope you have a good time while here! Which island will you be visiting?

 

[lamago]

I know it's kinda of a random post, but It just occurred to me I should post so if I dissappear for awhile. It's harder for me to log on since I get so busy, but I'm always reading the posts, just cant always post myself.

I'm applying for a job I REALLY want so I spent alot of time this past week writing and re-writing the answers to the questions and getting letters of rec etc. Oh and somewere inbetween i think I ovulated, i'm on my third day of positive OPK. If it's positive so long, when the heck did I ovulate? We'll see tomorrow if it's still positive.

Im going to Kawai for a friends wedding.

 

[Twag]

Have a fab time in Hawaii Lamago
Hawaii is definately on my hit list of places to visit

How is everyone?

 

[Fezzle]

Have a great time in Hawaii! I've only been once- when I was a surly preteen who didn't appreciate it enough, so I want to go back!

How are you doing in the heat, Twag?

There is definitely something different about 80*F in England v 80*F in the US- it seems much hotter!

 

[Twag]

Hey Fezzle wohoo another UK lady thank goodness I miss out so much in here with all my US ladies

This heat is not great tbh I normally pre-pregnancy would not complain I LOVE the heat but I seem to be feeling the heat x 2 and it is crazy I cannot stand being out of the shade for more than a few minutes and even in the shade feel HOT like my blood is boiling so weird I also noticed that when I have been in the heat OMG but all of my veins seem to pop out - freaky DH noticed them too litterly this big vein going all the way down my leg across my ankles eugh freaky! They seem to not be as bad when I am not too hot

I do agree the UK 80F is a lot different to being abroad and it being 80F I am not sure why though

Whereabouts in the South West are you?

 

[Fezzle]

I live in Bristol- I moved there about a year and a half ago (from London). I'm American but have been in the UK for almost 10 years. I'm in Nottingham for work right now though. It seems like it's hot all over the country!

That is freaky about your vein!

 

[Twag]

Yeah it does seem to be hot all over which to be honest is odd for the UK

I know totally freaked me out about the veins but it is normal as your blood supply around your body increases

 

[txbiscuit]

Twag, I think that 80-85 degrees feels a lot hotter when you don't have a nice ocean breeze or air conditioning available. I would be dying. I'm always hot, even at work where the AC is set to 65 degrees and everyone else is bundled up in sweaters.

How's everyone doing? Any interesting updates? I found out I may have more birthing options available than I previously thought (birthing tub and gas & air!) so I'm going to have to rethink some of my birth plans/wishes. I'm going to start a "Birthing From Within" class next week. We also need to book our babymoon, start decluttering and organizing, purchase and set up furniture, interview pediatricians... I'm beginning to think that 13-16 weeks is not enough time to accomplish everything we need to do!

 

[ClandestineTX]

So exciting Mrs. Biscuit! Nothing here... witch is packing her bags, but I'm not optimistic at all until we get my thyroid business sorted. At least that's a step in the right direction?

 

[Twag]

Had my scan & I'm in love with my little person growing it is adorable ( biased I know lol)

 

[MIZZYD]

Aww Twag, so exciting.

 

[Fezzle]

Ah, Twag- that's lovely!

I love the idea of a babymoon- any ideas so far?

I'm just waiting to hopefully ovulate for the first time since stopping the pill!

 

[Twag]

We are going to see Fleetwood Mac at the O2 in September on the Friday night so we have decided to make a weekend of it in London - not sure how that will pan out being nearly 24 weeks along by then but I can waddle around London I think that will be as far as our Babymoon will go as with baby on the way and a new house we are short on funds

Good luck with the O hope the pill didn't mess up your system too much

Anyone who hasn't already who wants to see scan pics they are in my journal page 59 I think - gender guesses are welcome we have our 20 week scan on 5th September and will be finding out the gender

 

[txbiscuit]

I am still undecided on the gender Twag, but I'm leaning the more I think about it.

My OH's passport renewal still hasn't been processed, so we're looking at babymoon locations in the US. We're considering San Diego, Atlantic City (although I might veto that b/c of all the cigarette smoke), a lake somewhere Michigan, and Utah or Lake Tahoe. We really just need to pick something and book it ASAP. I wish we could go to Hawaii, but plane tickets are crazy expensive, and I don't really have enough vacation time to justify spending that much money.

 

[Twag]

I have put you down as team for now TX

Sounds lovely certainly nicer than London in September in the UK

 

[MIZZYD]

How do we get to your journal Twag?
And as for a babymoon? That sounds awesome, never thought about that.

**BTW, have any of you done the necklace trick? Supposedly it tells you how many kids you will have (Including gender) it also includes the kids you might already have. Mine came out to boy, girl, boy. lol. Just for fun I did it.
