Nato my heart aches for you...I wish i had something that would make a difference for you but I have never dealt with loss of a family member so I cannot begin to imagine what you are going through. Im always a text away if you need me....

 

[Sugarlove2]

Nato, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. You do right spending as much time as possible with him. Big

Great news you are giving it another go with Alex Allie

 

[NatoPMT]

Thanks for your lovely messages, it means a lot. I went to pick the weasel up from MIL's and she saw me through the window and pointed, then started screaming and squealing like a maniac.. i went in the house and she was running round shrieking at the top of her voice for about 30 mins. It's the first time we've been apart for more than a few hours so seeing her reaction was lovely.

Nato - I am rubbish in situations like these. I always make dumb jokes and am usually the friend who sneaks wine into a funeral...so I don't have anything uplifting to say except I know it must hurt and I wish I could give you a hug and make you a martini.

 

[hoping:)]

Nato- what a nice way to be welcomed home! Just what you needed after a tough trip to see your dad. Eloise is darling and I'm happy she is there to bring some joy in a dark time. Hug her tight

 

[heart tree]

Nato,

I'm so sorry to hear this news. It sounds like you had a really good talk with your dad though. I think that will serve you as you grieve. I imagine your sister is grieving in her own way. It's so hard not to get angry about a situation like this and you are both fragile right now. I hope you can both find a way to get back on common ground.

Please don't worry about responding on FB unless you want to. I can only imagine how busy you are right now. It's wonderful that you have Eloise to greet you with such love and enthusiasm. That's exactly what you need right now.

Please keep us posted when you have time. xo

Nato, I've been thinking a lot about you. How are things going?

 

[Sugarlove2]

Hi girls just to let you know I got a this morning on an FRER at 10dpo. It's incredibly faint, but defo there, but I'm now worrying that it's too faint.
This cycle I just tried the progesterone I got given at the fertility clinic and was going to use clomid next month. I'm feeling quite weird about it really, as I'm convinced it's going to go wrong

Hope everyone is well

 

[VGibs]

Team yellow again...insanely disappointed and can't stop crying

 

[heart tree]

Nato

Sugar, congrats!!! Chick, my FRER with Delilah at 10dpo was so faint I thought it was still the hcg from the trigger shot I did that was left over from my IUI. I'll find a pic and post it for you. Have faith and congrats!

Gibs, sorry about team yellow. You'll know in 20 weeks one way or another though!

 

[Sugarlove2]

Sorry V, hope you can find out next time

Thanks Hearty. I showed it to Mal, who also said he can see it, but he's worried how faint it is. I defo feel preggo too. Henry's dog food is making me want to puke, my boobs are tingling and I've got weird pulling pains.

 

[VGibs]

Congrats Sugar...I didn't see your post when I posted

Hearty - I know we will find out eventually, but Ian was so angry they couldn't tell and he refuses to get any baby stuff or even consider a name until we "know". I wasn't able to find out with either of the girls, and the only reason I did with MeMe was because I hurt my back and the tech was nice enough to check for me. I was so excited to find out and the girl was so short and showed me like 2 minutes of the baby. I was really disappointed. And here we only get 1 ultrasound covered so if I want another one it will cost me like $200 that I don't have. They couldn't get a good pic of the heart so I have another scanned booked next week for that but right on the form it says "heart only, no gender determination"

 

[heart tree]

Sugar, look at my tests https://s1234.photobucket.com/user/ahartrey/media/baby bump/9688f7fe.jpg.html

You are only 10dpo! There is nothing wrong with a light test. I know how worrisome it is. I absolutely understand. You have every right to be a wreck. I always found SMU to be stronger for me. Maybe try that tomorrow?

Gibs, it sucks that you can't have more than one scan. Maybe you'll get a nice sonographer who will take a sneak peak for you? I hope Ian comes around.

We got NO sleep in our house last night. Delilah went down at 7pm. Was up at 8:30, 1:30 and 4:30. Ugh. She wouldn't fall back asleep after 4:30 until 6. And then was up for good at 6:30. I didn't sleep at all during that time. Soooo tired! Not sure if it's teething. I'm frustrated beyond belief as Tim won't be around tonight to help me. I'm going to be a zombie all day and night. I can only pray she'll sleep better tonight.

 

[Allie84]

Congrats Sugar!! I know how worried I always am, so I'd be the same, but 10 dpo is really early and faint lines are to be expected.

Oh Gibs, what a bummer. I can't believe they wrote on the notes 'no gender determination.' Maybe Ian can explain to the tech how he won't buy things, etc, and could they please please please take a look? FX for you.

Hearty, sorry about the rough night. Gosh is sounds rough. I hope you get some good naps in today.

Nothing much new here, I'm sick. Sore throat, the works. I went to the ER in the middle of the night because my heart wouldn't stop skipping beats. It's still doing it but the doctor says it's because ofthe virus. But since I'm a worry wart I hate that feeling.

 

[heart tree]

Sugar, the 13DPT (days past trigger) is actually 11dpo. I guess I didn't do a 10dpo test on a FRER.

But if you look at my IC tests at 12dpt, that's my 10dpo test https://s1234.photobucket.com/user/ahartrey/media/baby bump/8a852c58.jpg.html

 

[Sugarlove2]

I will try and post a pic up later. I have taken a pic, but it's a bit of a squinter.

Hearty, your night sounds horrendous. Hope you manage a better night tonight. Charlotte is teething as well and is ratty as hell at the moment

 

[heart tree]

Allie, I don't drink caffeine because it makes my heart race. I absolutely hate that feeling. I don't blame you for hating how you are feeling! It sounds like the stress of the past few weeks finally caught up with you. I'm a big believer in the mind/body connection. Sometimes our bodies wait to get sick until there is a "safe" time to do so. I often get sick on the weekends or during vacation because it's a time when I can let go a bit. I imagine you are sick because you are on better ground with Alex now and can relax a little. I hope you feel better soon.

Sugar, I'll squint away at your lines whenever you post them through my sleepy gaze.

Just put the baby down for a nap. Going to try and catch a few winks myself.

 

[Allie84]

Thanks, Hearty. That makes perfect sense! I agree our bodies and minds are so connected. I also visited my mom yesterday and was on the go all day and last night it all caught up with me.

I have been applying for jobs at Alex's request because he is so 'stressed' about money. I currently have the part-time analyst gig but it's touch and go with how much work I get. So, I finally have a job interview next week to be a 'client services specialist' with a local non-profit that administers family-based charities and gov't programs like head start and child care assistance. It would be 35 hrs a week with the child care resource and referral program. It pays between 11-13 and hour (I'm currently making$25 an hour as an analyst). I did the math and after childcare I'd only be bringing in between 200 and 300 a week after chidcare. I am doing this for Alex and I have mixed feelings about leaving Alistair in daycare full-time. I'm not sure if I'm ready for it, especially for such little money. But Alex is really on a kick where I need to 'make more money.' I make $250 a week on average with my analyst job, but it's not every week. Anyways, sorry for all of the number crunching on here but I'm kind of freaking out about whether it's 'worth it' to put Alistair in daycare full time for such little pay, or if I should do it for the sake of the family finances and just suck it up? Of course I don't even know if I'll get the job....

 

[Allie84]

Have a good nap, Hearty. I hope Delilah sleeps well for you!

Sugar, I'd love to look at a pic.

 

[hoping:)]

Sugar- Congratulations!!! I wouldn’t worry about a faint test at 10 dpo. I don’t think I got a positive test until 13dpo with Penny.

Gibs- sorry for the disappointment. Maybe you will get a nice tech at the next scan that will be kind enough to let you have a peak at the goods.

Amanda- That sounds rough. I hope it is just teething too. Enjoy your nap!

Allie- I responded in your journal
