lol too funny Nato. And I wouldn't judge you for it at all

 

[VGibs]

Well I had a lovely day! I went to the city where I met my sister and we picked me out a new jet tub. Then went to the craft store and got lots of new yarn and patterns. Then we went to Bulk Barn and bought a ton of baking supplies and candy! It was tons of fun!

 

[msarkozi]

mmmmm, baking supplies and candy sounds like a good day to me!

It's looking like Kash has pink eye again :/ going to give him the eye drops tomorrow and hopefully it will go away quickly. He's chatting away in bed right now; I love listening to that. I'm so in love with him!

I have had a bit of a busy weekend so far. Last night I curled and then went out with some girls for a few hours after. Today we stuck around the house except when we went for groceries, and then Gord and I went to a going away party for awhile. Tomorrow I need to finish laundry and cleaning, and then going to a friend's for a candle party after supper. Nothing too exciting, but it's probably the most I have been away from the house other then for work in awhile lol.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Booo I hate those bfn, you're definately not out yet!

Our date was awful, we went to the local pubs and met friends wtf?! I'm so bored of it all

 

[VGibs]

Oh sass that sucks I'd be disappointed as well

 

[VGibs]

Soooo.....today I woke up with super duper sore boobies. Then Ian told me "Hey. Those things are looking huge today! What bra is that?" *with a sexy twinkle in his eye*

Fingers crossed ladies.

 

[LucyJ]

Fingers crossed V

We had our scan today and its still cautious optimism as they were abit concerned about my dates. The positive is we had a lovely little heartbeat the baby measured 5 weeks 6 days at our last scan 10 days ago but was only measuring 6 weeks 4 this time I should be 7 weeks 3 days. She said seeing a heartbeat was a really good sign so not to worry and they want me back in 2 weeks for another scan to check babys growth. As steve and I were convinced it was bad news by the look on her face and she didnt say anything for what seemed like ages we are so happy we saw our little ones heartbeat. Keep us in your thoughts.

Im tucked up in bed taking it easy have some cramping but think thats because she was quite rough with the scan really prodded and poked at me.

Nato thats so funny about eloise would love see some pics.

Sassy sorry your date didnt go well.

Mel hope kashs eye is ok and sounds like you had a great weekend.

 

[NatoPMT]

Luce ignore my fb message, just seen your update above

I'm not sure what the scan means, but I am willing your little bean to grow and to be well. The scanner has obviously seen good news out of similar situations to yours, so I hope very much that's the case. I absolutely will keep you in my thoughts

 

[msarkozi]

Looking forward to your next scan Luce and hearing how great things are going with that little bean. A heartbeat today is a great sign

 

[Round2]

I'm routing for your little bean too Lucy. Being PAL is so stressful, I hope these next few weeks fly by for you.

 

[Allie84]

Lucy, a heartbeat is so great!! I'm trying to do the math and it sounds like the bean is measure 7 days off what they thought....but if you consider there is 3 days error either way, it's pretty much within the margin of error, right? Like if they measured you 3 days behind last time and measured you 3 days ahead of where you are at this scan, iykwim. You're not entirely sure of of ov date are you? In any case, I'm very happy for you and I will continue to send prayers your way!

Gibs, FX for you girlie!!!

Mel, that's a busy weekend! glad you had fun, hope Kash doens't have pink eye again.

AFM, for my 29th birthday I sat on the toilet 29 times!!! TMI? But seriously though, I've had a horrible tummy bug. I dragged myself to a bday dinner with friends Friday and came home feverish and poopy after eating 3 bites of food. Planned on spending Saturday in bed, BUT my sister flew out from California to surprise me!! I was totally shocked!! I'm happy she came but I felt like shit and she probably thinks I'm the most grumpy boring person ever lol. I tried so hard...we went out for dinner twice and had pedicures and hung out, but I mean I kept her awake all night because she was sleeping on the couch and I had to go to the bathroom every 5-20 minutes, literally. I did go to the doc who did blood work and it's nothing serious and thankfully I'm fine today, but yowzers, what a bday.

Will have to read back past this page to see what else I missed.

 

[Allie84]

LOL at Eloise with the wine bottle. Please post the video or a pic lol. Hmm I hope you BDed even after your sneaky ov, because you just never know!! What CD did you ov on, Nato?

Sassy, I'm so sorry the date didn't go well! Details? From what little you've said my guess is that he had friends there as a 'buffer' so it wasn't too heavy/awkward as he obviously wanted to see you but wasn't in the right mental place to talk? What's the plan from here? I miss your journal and miss you and hope you come back soon!

 

[VGibs]

Ya ladies I am pretty sure I am out this month. Still getting BFN's and having massive PMS symptoms. But on a bright note I have a party to go to on Saturday night smack dab in the middle of AF so I can have some drinks! Yippee!

 

[msarkozi]

lol Allie. If you remember, my 29th birthday ended up horrible too - with that damn boil lol! Glad you are feeling better now.

Sorry Gibs!

 

[heart tree]

Hi girls, just wanted to pop in and say hi and check in on Lucy's scan. So happy there is a hb. I know the dating can be worrisome. PAL is never fun, especially in the early days. I like Allie's reasoning about the dates.

Allie, happy birthday! Sorry you feel so ill. I saw the pics with your sister on FB. How cool! I hope the bug goes away soon.

Gibs, I'm sorry. Onto next month!

I'm sick myself. I started feeling achey yesterday. Unfortunately I had also only gotten 3 hours of sleep due to teething (Delilah, not me!) and I had to go to the memorial service for that little girl yesterday. It was a very sad day and I felt like shit on top of it. It was wonderful to come home from it and see my very alive, very smiley baby. I couldn't stop hugging her. Looks like I have a cold. I'm trying not to give it to her.

She had her first solids this week. Avocado with breast milk. She loves it!

I got a contract job from my old employer writing curriculum for a new class. The piece I got to write was about journaling for stress management. It was fun and I got paid $80/hr. I did it while Delilah napped and on Saturday when Tim could watch her.

He's been helping out enormously. I raised the topic of the hospital bill with him again after he told me he put more into savings. I told him it needed to be paid and if it weren't for the hospital, our gorgeous girl might not be alive. He didn't say anything. I can pay it with his credit card, but otherwise he controls the money. We've always had separate accounts and now that I don't have a job, he gives me money. I know it will get paid and he wasn't serious about me getting a job. It was just annoying. But now he's excited of the prospect of me getting my therapy license and starting a private practice. So that means I need to take a few classes and study for the huge exams to get the license. I'm glad he's not pushing me to take a babysitting job anymore. I really didn't want to. So, now the plan is to get my license as soon as possible (which in reality will be 8 months at the least) and start seeing clients perhaps on a part time basis to start.

Ok, off to eat and then bed. Will try to catch up tomorrow. xo

 

[VGibs]

Wow! Amanda! A real life therapist in training in our midst girls! I went to university to be a therapist but my heart wasn't in it at all. I just wanted to make people happy not help them I guess. LoL You'll be fantastic and develop all sorts of theories and in 50 years everyone will be studying the things you've done!

Well AFM I am laying in bed right now because husband has decided that I need to use our FRER and has run down to get it. When it's bfn he is gonna be so sad

 

[VGibs]

Ummmm girls.....

Spoiler

the FRER...had a very faint line. I took a picture but BNB says its too big to upload. I PROMISE I will upload another one later!

 

[Sparkly]

OMG

Where are you?.....come back we need a pretty line to stare at...

 

[VGibs]

I'm in the parking lot at work lol the picture was awful so I will dip and click when I get home tonight

 

[Allie84]

Hearty, I'm sorry you are sick. Ugh, it's just this crappy time of year. How exciting that Delilah had her first solids! What a healthy first solid as well. Alistair's was baby rice and breast milk but I was so nervous so it was mostly breastmilk lol. I'm happy you and Tim are at an agreement about the job thing. I think it will be awesome when you get your license!! Yay!! It will be hard to find time to study. My advice is to frame the studying and preparing as your 'job' and arrange for childcare for Delilah during those hours. Even just a few hours a week or something? Since I work from home and am in school I make sure Alex realizes that even though I'm at home while Alistair is at daycare sometimes, I'm still 'working' (or on BnB lol). But maybe you don't want Delilah with a babysitter, I just know I find it so hard to work when Alistair is home. Anyways, hope you feel better soon! Well done on the contract job! I wish I could make 80 bucks an hour!

Gibs, why are you leaving us hanging that long lol?!!? Don't you get a lunch break??? I'm excited!
