Hey ladies!

Jen choking and vomiting is scary I know all too well! Try to keep him upright for a good half hour after feeding it helps tremendously.

Nato i still cuddle Hero to sleep! Bad habits die hard and to be honest its the only time i get any cuddles off her. She isnt very cuddly by nature and usually throws a fit when i try to hug or kiss her. I also didnt have a serious routine till she was like 13 months or something. Now i make sure shes in bed by 10 pm no matter what. I realised she slept and napped better if the times were standard every night, you all remember the hell I went through the first year with the waking up every 3 hours for no good reason....
She is still afraid of the new place, wont go from one room to another without holding my hand which is so out of character for her as when we are out she tends to roam off everywhere and ive actually lost her from my sight for seconds at a time at the beach (bad mommy!). She wakes up and cries at least twice every night but the last 2 nights ive managed to settle her within minutes.
Im really upset today that i cant go and see Red Hot Chilli peppers...The tickets are like 50 euro and i just cant afford it right now. Seriously bummed!

 

[Round2]

Jenny, he's such a cutie!!

Vicky, that's so weird that Hero is afraid of your new place. Hopefully she'll settle soon for you.

Allie, how is everything going?

You know, I've read so many journals/threads this week about people who are struggling with parenting and maintaing their marriage. It's such hard work. It really makes me realize how hard you have to work to keep things going.

My big baby started back at school today. She ran onto the school bus and barely gave me a glance good bye! She nearly drove me crazy this summer, but I miss her so much today that my heart aches! Why can't they be babies (that sleep through the night) forever!!

 

[hoping:)]

Jenny- no need to apologize... you have your hands full! Kieran is adorable

Vicky- I still cuddle Penny at nap time and sometimes she will still fall asleep on my chest I agree... having a routine has definitely helped Penny as well. I hope Hero gets used to the new house and settles in. Maybe you can help her paint something or draw pictures to make her room feel like her own and more cozy?

Too bad about the Chili Pepper concert! I love that band

Jody- on Maddy's first day back to school. I know I will be a mess the day Penny goes to school. I love the sleeping-through-the-night baby stage too and will miss it. Actually I am already starting to miss it because Penny is becoming more like a toddler by the day. Tim is so happy to be in the toddler stage.

AFM: For the past three nights Penny has actually WANTED to go to bed. We will do her usual routine and while I am telling her about what she has to look forward to the next day (I started doing this every night and tell her to get a good nights sleep because she has a busy day ahead of her) she literally pushes me aside and reaches toward her crib. Once I kiss her good night I put her in her crib and she crawls to her little corner and snuggles up on her belly and goes strait to sleep!

 

[msarkozi]

holy crap I haven't been on here forever!!! I am going to have to start making better attempts at getting on here more.....I have missed out on so much, but I think of you girls all the time!

For me, life is busy with an 18 month old that is always on the go, and have been back to work since February. I recently got the all clear on my pre cancerous cells, and we are going to start trying for baby #2

Hope all is well with everyone

Jenny Kieran is gorgeous!

Hi girls

Im 8dpo. I have frers in the house. I am like a crack head on a come down, its a matter of time before the bathroom cabinet draws me in....

Mel - welcome to the ttcrack. Im sorry to hear about the pre-cancerous cells, i didnt know that - so glad youre ok!!! Kash is just a handsome little boy, hope his hives have gone, i get those and they are itchy little *******s.

Hoping, ahh at penny. thats such a cute picture you paint with your words.

Rounders - hope Maddy had a good day and hope she didnt lose her new pencil box. Im sure she mustve had a new pencil box. Thats what 1st day of school is all about. Bonding over pencil boxes.

Vic - haha Hero is a right feisty number isnt she. Glad you do go-to-sleep cuddles too. Im sure she will settle down, a new place is such a change for a baby who needs security to show feistiness - i used to move house every couple of years when i was little, and i remember being scared of the new house and the new dark corners.

Jen loving the pics of baby and big brothers together.

Sassers, the stupid pram is 2nd hand off my sister and falling apart. Hobopram. Not robocop.

Off to pace around trying to ignore frers. Place your bets as to how long i last

 

[vickyd]

by the time i have typed this you will be in said toilet peeing on a stick

 

[NatoPMT]

I just read back to my last bfp on here, to see what id said at the time. On 9dpo id said...

yes, both frers. Yesterday was too faint to be real, todays is so faint its not picked up on camera - so still too faint to believe

dont forget i have had a frer line before and nothing came of it. i am queen of the faint disappearing lines.

so i think i should wait until tomorrow really, at least. I dont have any soreness in my boobs at all, and think i would at least have that if i have any hcg.

oh fuck it, Vic is so right. im peeing right now.

i also found this, which id forgotten about, but im now sniggering away....

This morning i picked up the post from the hall, and there was a private and confidential
letter for John, I took it with me out to the car and he asked me to open it as he was driving, thinking it would be his HIV results for Mr T, i was waving it round saying "are ya nervous, are ya?"

Mr T had asked for the results to be on headed hospital / clinic paper so I opened it, looked at the letter and noticed it wasnt on headed paper, so in reaction, i said 'shit'.

I now know, never to say 'shit' when opening someone elses HIV results in front of them

 

[vickyd]

haha!! I remember that post on the hiv test!!!
P.S I knew you would crack and test....Crack...

 

[NatoPMT]

Its sitting there on the table. Smirking at me

I have even taken my contact lenses out in readiness for scrutiny

 

[NatoPMT]

jeeeezus. I am looking at an optical illusion, lines keep flashing up when i blink then disappearing. I am making lines appear. I am the David Blane of frers.

 

[Round2]

Is it peed on yet? I'm ready to scrutinize, post a pic.

 

[NatoPMT]

Im getting the pliers. This one is getting taken right apart.

 

[NatoPMT]

Well that was a waste of £6.

Hypothesis: I can see the dent where the line should be, and at certain angles, i think the dent creates a slight shadow which makes it look like theres a line there

Conclusion: booofn

As you were. Same trauma same time tomorrow no doubt. Stupid addictive personality type

 

[Round2]

FYI - I threw my 8DPO FRER test in the garbage when I was pregnant with Bryce. Of course, I dug it out an hour later and waited till the sun came up to reassess. It took a good 3 hours before I saw the line.

 

[NatoPMT]

The builders on the site opposite my garden are all looking at me standing in the garden holding a pregnancy test up to the sun

There is something there, but i cant remember if you can see the indent on a frer as a matter of course - i do think its the shadow from the indent but i am defo not out. It could be more negative than it is.

I wish i could remember what eloise's 8 day line was. I bet it was cute though.

 

[hoping:)]

Mel- welcome back! It is so exciting to have another Discoer ttc #2! I’m glad to hear you got the all clear on the pre-cancerous cells.

Nato- you crack me up! You are definitely “batshit cray, cray” and I am loving every minute. I forgot how obsessive and exciting POAS was… it makes me want to as well. I look forward to tomorrows episode!

Jody- Your story about it taking 3 hours to see a line has gotten me reminiscing about all my crazy shenanigans with FRERs. I actually just found one of Penny’s that had fallen in between the window sill. Tim was totally grossed out.

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.

 

[NatoPMT]

Hoping, your wish is my command....there's a fucking line.

Defo. But as its an hour or so later, then we should just clutch our skirts and jump on a chair, without a bfp call just yet

gonna take a photo

 

[NatoPMT]

omg omg omg theres a line
