Hi Ladies, I'm coming out of lurking this morning because I just POAS and pretty sure I got a faint positive...we weren't trying but a couple of times we weren't very careful this month. I had a 'feeling' and tested this morning and I am shocked.

AF still isn't due for a few days but here is the pic...am I just seeing things?

 

[Jaymes]

Um, I see it! Get an FRER!

 

[Sparkly]

Eeeek, I can defo see a little something there hun. FX'd..... test again with a frer, I hate those blue tests, they have a bad rep for evaps....

Waits patiently

 

[yogi77]

thanks ladies, I'm definitely going to get a FRER today, they are the best. I hate blue dye tests too, it's all I had in the house though...

will update later, I'll do the FRER today.

 

[hoping:)]

I see a line as well!!! Can't wait for the update!

Jaymes- I will check out your journal

 

[LucyJ]

Jaymes Im going to check out your jornal

Yogi I see it so exciting quick pee on a FRER!!!

Hoping loved your update about penny she sounds so cute and such a character I love watching and seeing their personalititys develop. Pennys birthday sounds fantastic

Afm: of to the dr's tomorrow still having the period from hell its really taken it out of me this month so hopefully I'll get some answers as to why they are so painfull. Im guessing my blood pressure is low and maybe my iron too which would explain the dizziness and tiredness

 

[yogi77]

Went out and got a FRER and here it is...faint but it's there...I'm still in total shock.

 

[Allie84]

Hoping, Penny sounds amazing! She seems really advance for her age? Or else Alistair is way behind, because he's definitely not talking like Penny! Glad CIO worked for you. and you're getting a full night's sleep. Her birthday/Halloween bash is going to be amazing! I can't believe how fast time is flying. We're going to dress Alistair up and take him Trick or Treating (even though he can't eat candy yet).

Jenny, massive massive CONGRATULATIONS to you!!!!! Kieren is a beauty.

Lucy, I hope you get some answers at the docs. Sorry you're not feeling the best.

Jaymes, I'm off to check your journal

Yogi, I SEE A LINE!!! But yes blue tests are bad for evaps...but I definitely see a line!!!!!!! I can't wait to hear about the FRER.....

AFM, I'm in full swing with the my grad assistantship and classes. I feel so in over my head and I miss Alistair terribly. I'm full of all kinds of guilt and longing to be home with him. He's in daycare about 25 hours a week which isn't a ton but I'm so exhausted when I'm home with him I'm worried I'm not being the best mom. I thought going back to school would be a good 'balance' as it's not full time work but it seems as though I'm busier than I was when working! It's not like I leave my work at work but I have so much homework and stuff to take home iykwim. I'm whining about 'white people problems' and they are lame, I know, but it's just a struggle getting used to being out of the home, it's like I always want what I don't have. I think I need mental help with that.

 

[hoping:)]

Yogi- I see the line Congrats!!!

Allie- Just in the past few weeks she started talking like this. Before she was more quite and I was a bit worried because she wasn't baby babbling as much as I thought she should and then one day she just never stopped talking/babbling! Alistair will surprise you

Try not to feel guilty! You are doing this for your family. I know it is hard to leave Alistair but by doing this you are providing him a better life

 

[Sugarlove2]

Big congrats to Jen! Can;t wait to see pics of your little man.

Congrats to Yogi too!

Hi to everyone else
x

 

[Round2]

Yay Yogi! Congrats, what a nice age gap. Your babies will be so close together.

Allie, I totally know the guilt. You work so hard to get these babies, then pass them off to someone else to raise. Maddy spends about 45 hours a week in daycare and it kills me. At the same time, I know that it is good for her. She loves the stimulation and seems so much more independant than other kids not in daycare. I really feel like it's so good for them, but so hard for us.

Hoping, Penny sounds adorable! I can't believe her first birthday is just around the corner. Where did this year go??

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Massive congrats yogi, how exciting.x

 

[yogi77]

thanks everyone, it's sinking in now and we are getting excited. It wasn't planned but it's still very exciting and we feel very fortunate.

 

[Sparkly]

I see it yogi

Massive congrats, what lovely news

 

[LucyJ]

Definitely a line congratulations Yogi what wonderful news so happy for you

Allie it must be tough on you but you are doing it for Alistair and your future as a family. Hopefully once you get into a routine things will become easier.

sugar how are you?

 

[vickyd]

Yay Yogi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What brilliant news!

Allie its really hard juggling motherhood and a career, I suffer from the guilt syndrome daily but to be honest the hardest thing is what you said about being so tired and worrying about the quality of the time spent together. I think one of the reasons my health was so bad this year was from trying to be perfect at work and with Hero. I get up everyday at 7, spend an hour with Hero and then take her to my mom's. I work till at least 6.30-7 and then i go straight to my moms and take Hero out to the park, the beach or soft play. We get home at 9 and play some more until 10 pm when she goes to bed. I have a shower and eat quickly so that i can study spanish till midnight!!!! My mom thinks im overdoing it and that Hero would be perfectly happy to just come home with me and play in front of the sofa for a couple of hours. I feel that if i go home though that my exhaustion will lead me in front of the tv and Hero playing on her own. Hero has really benefited though from our routine. She is so active and happy and one of the most social kids ive met. Also the fact that we spend such quality time together makes her miss me less when shes with my mom or when im away on a buisness trip.
The new house is coming together slowly....I still have a problem with the fridge not fitting into the kitchen...We sawed off some of the counter but still not enough room. My dad is gonna bring this carpenter in and see if he can move the whole bench sequence. I see him destroying the kitchen and me paying for a new one while my landlord has a stroke lol!! Hero is still afraid of her new home. She doesnt like sleeping in her own room so although she had mastered self soothing when she woke up during the night, we are now back to square one where i have to bring her into my bed and sing her to sleep again 2-3 times a night.

 

[Sugarlove2]

I'm good thanks Lucy. Charlotte has got tonsillitus and is on antibiotics at the mo, poor lamb.

We are also thinking of ttc after Xmas but dreading going through all the worry and stress again of trying. Also worried about having 2 so close together but I'm 37 in October, so time not really on my side.

How you doing? I see you are ttc again. How exciting!

 

[NatoPMT]

Hi girls, turn my back for 5 mins and look what happens

Jen - Kieran is just gorgeous...

CONGRATULATIONS

to you and Paul. How are you getting on? Hope youre recovering from the CS

and omg Yogi!!!

CONGRATULATIONS

BOOOOOOMfp!

I'm very well, 3rd month TTC but the 1st 2 were embarrassingly pathetic attempts. 2 bds in 2 months, 3 days before ov. This month we have a better chance, but not convinced we did enough. Goddam food poisoning and laziness.

Am now getting a week of ewcm. I am victorious in that respect

Little Eloise is amazing. She is just so funny. Everything she does is hilarious, she has the most expressive little face and lets me know exactly what she's thinking. She now does this thing where she jumps at us, squealing and we pretend to be scared and she screams with laughter.

How are the new mummies? Hope Rounders, Sassers and Hearty are getting on ok

How the the ttcers? Luce have you started again? Any other TTC news?

 

[hoping:)]

Nato- its good to have you back Sorry to hear about the food poisoning! 3rd time is the charm. FX! By the sound of your cm I'm guessing you are still guzzling the green tea I'm so excited for you and Lucy to get BFP's and then the madness of the next Disco baby boom can commence

Eloise sounds as cute as ever... I loved the video of her on FB. This stage is so fun when they are overflowing with personality and have a mind of their own

 

[Allie84]

Hi girls, turn my back for 5 mins and look what happens

5 minutes my ass!!


Sugar, I'm so sorry about Charlotte! Hope she's on the mend soon.

Vicky, I know how you feel. I hope you're not wearing yourself out too much! It's great that you still make that time meaningful. I should take your lead and go out to the park in the evenings even though I'm exhausted. I'm finding myself jealous of stay at home moms now even though I know realistically I need this career and I'm getting paid and we need the money and it was my choice.
