stupid camera isnt picking it up, but will post anyway, waiting for the 150 videos and photos of eloise on the camera to download.

 

[NatoPMT]

Last night Tim and I were watching the latest season of Dexter and in the episode he is doing preschool interviews for his son and I started getting all teary eyed because Penny is growing so fast. Tim looked and me and said as long as our business does well we can attempt #2. It makes me excited and nervous at the same time. I still don’t know if I want to go for it but at least I have an option… what am I talking about?! It was always an option. He just didn’t know it yet.

exciting!!!!! come on, dont you miss being batshit cray cray?

Thats great news he is so keen, how can you not be after making Penny.

 

[NatoPMT]

i am spamming now. I will shut up after posting this....whaddyathink? You can defo see the line on the original pic on screen...

 

[NatoPMT]

i know i said id stop spamming, but WHERE HAVE YOU ALL GONE

come back immediately.

 

[Round2]

Hmmm...when I move to a dark room and tilt my screen I see something!!

I've also been up since 2am and could be delusional.

 

[Round2]

Okay, looking at in a bright room and I definately see something...................

 

[NatoPMT]

There's defo a line there in real life, Rounders. Dont even need to hold the test up to the light.

Not sure what time it is there, but the words 'i have been up since 2am' are never good unless they are suffixed by 'partying'. Hope you dont get too delusional

 

[msarkozi]

ok Nato, I see something clearly

Kash's hives are gone, thankfully. I am taking him to the doctor this morning as he snores pretty badly and I was told to bring him in as it is a sign of allergies or adnoid problems. So he will be getting a blood test today to see if there is allergies there, however, they can't actually do an allergy test until the age of 3 to see what he is actually allergic to.

So who else, other then Nato is trying for #2 now? It's exciting to do this round with other people again

 

[NatoPMT]

Ah thats a bit crap Mel, do you have to avoid stuff in the meantime then like peanuts and shellfish and strawberries? Poor baby. Any idea what caused the hives?

Think Luce is ready to go, and i am trying to push sugar and hoping over the ttc2 edge.

what about you? are you joining in?

 

[Allie84]

I see a line!!!! I do, I do. You're not imagining it. However, I've gotten evaps with FRERs before after taking them apart, if I remember correctly. But there's definitely a line there!

How are you feeling? No sore boobs, but any other symptoms?

 

[Allie84]

All of you who cuddle your babies to sleep are so lucky! Alistair won't let me do that anymore. And I'm currently feeling guilty because he was less than 45 minutes into his nap and the garbage man woke him up, so annoying! So he's in there awake chatting to himself but I'm leaving him, hoping he'll go back to sleep. How long can I do that before giving up? I'm so mad at the garbage man. Alistair has a cold and I want him to get a good nap in.

 

[msarkozi]

lol! the ttc2 edge is a good place Today is day 1 of my period, and I stopped the pill on Saturday. I am hoping to be pregnant by the end of the month, but I am doubting it will happen that quickly. The first time I stopped my pill, it took 3 months and a miscarriage..........but you never know I guess

Well he reacted to something in the prego spaghetti sauce. I always use catelli sauce, so I am not sure if maybe prego is more acidic?!

I've already given him peanut butter and there is no allergy there. I won't give him shellfish because I am allergic to it and don't want to cause myself to have a reaction lol. He loves strawberries as well. So it will be difficult to try and find out for the next year and a half as to what he is allergic to. I am guessing it is probably much like me with all the environmental things as well.

 

[msarkozi]

Allie - I quit rocking Kash to sleep at 6 months, and I only get cuddles when he is tired or not feeling well.

I would give him about 10-15 minutes and if he hasn't fallen back to sleep, I would just get him up.

 

[NatoPMT]

Thanks Allie, i am considering it being an evap - will test again tomorrow afternoon. Ive never had an evap on a frer i dont think, certainly never one thats so strong.

Thats kind of good that he wont let you, independent little boy! they are all so different. I would leave him until he starts showing hes grumpy or wants to get out. If he's quite happy lying there, he might go back to sleep

How are things at home if you dont mind me asking?

Mel, were the hives itchy? I know that acidic can cause red marks round their mouth. I have never heard of the sauces you are talking about.

Soooo, youre ttc too? we are gathering in numbers. Milling around, peeing on things.

edt: sorry Allie forgot to say, I have had a few symptoms, very tired, left boob has gotten sore this afternoon and i have felt sick for 3 days - but all those could be post ov

 

[hoping:)]

HOLY CRAP! That was fast! I see the line too I've never got an evap on a FRER either so I am hoping this is it for you!!!

As for pushing me over the ttc2 edge... even if you succeed I want Penny to be a minimum of 2 years old (preferably 3-4) so you will have a 1+ year wait unless by some miracle we have a surprise and one of those little swimmers gets past my IUD. For now I will just join in on your TTC2 excitement!!!

Mel- I hope you guys figure out what is causing the allergic reactions

Allie- Penny only lets me cuddle her to sleep during nap time. Last night I let her nap on me but she woke up, looked at me and crawled off my lap onto the carpet and curled up into a little ball on her tummy and fell back asleep... made me a little sad

how is everything with you and Alex?

 

[msarkozi]

At his dr appt, I showed him the picture and he said it was definitely a reaction, but more so a mild one. It happened at daycare, thankfully, so I didn't have to go through the panic lol!

lol, yes I will be joining the ttc2 club once the witch is gone

 

[Sugarlove2]

Nato, I defo see a line

Have you got many more tests lying around, I'd be tempted to POAS on another one as I know how impulsive you are If that's a BFP, it should certainly be showing up by tomorrow if you're getting a faint line now. I love the FRER tests, and got both my BFP's on those with no evaps in between.

Did you go on the pill after having Eloise? I went on the mini pill, but came off it as it was giving me spots. That was a month ago and still don't have AF. I've practically quit BF too, so thought I would have had it by now! Christ I'm not even ttc yet, but am already worrying about cycles and have taken to checking for EWCM

Hi Mel, good to see you posting again!

I've just had a little blub to myself. Charlotte was crying after Mal put her to bed, so he went back up to comfort her and she was having none of it. As soon as I took her, she stopped and fell asleep cuddling into me. Don't know why, but it made me emotional that my little princess wanted me. Sniff!


Hi to everyone else x

 

[Round2]

Nato, check out my 9DPO tests...

https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/t...s-ttc-sibling-my-little-girl-journal-105.html

I'm getting excited. Maybe I should contain myself and not get you excited...but I think it looks good.

Ah, thank goodness my kids are cuddlers. In fact, Maddy is actually a little too cuddly. She can't go to bed without me snuggling with her for a few minutes. Bryce seems to be the same way, we'll see though, with a boy I'm sure it won't last long.

I'm laughing an evil minacle laugh at all you girls TTC#2. It's wonderful having two kids, but OMG is it ever tiring. And my kid is old!!! You're all screwed. Get your sleep now!!

 

[msarkozi]

round! somedays I think I am crazy for wanting a second one, as Kash is one busy boy! I often look forward to bedtime, as he just wears me right out. Constantly go go go with that one! I said if the next one is a boy, and he's just as busy, I am not going for the girl lol!

 

[hoping:)]

Sugar- I hope AF shows up soon! I am not TTC and I am even on the non-hormonal IUD and I STILL worry and over analyze my cycles When will you start TTC again?

Round- that is exactly why I want to wait until Penny is older. I know I will miss the baby phase but I am not prepared to go through it with an active toddler who is still in diapers.



I am like 90% sure I just want Penny. I love our little family unit and can't imagine splitting my time between two babies. Tim loved being an only child but with my mother passing away I have realized the importantance of having siblings. My sisters and I are much closer and I can't imagine them not being there. But then again my younger sister and I fought like cats and dogs almost our whole lives and she is still a constant source of worry for me. I will make up my mind eventually... I hope
