Fab news about your scan Lucy. Big congratulations

Big congratulations to VGibs too

Fingers crossed for you Allie!

I'm in cycle 2 of ttc and already irritated. I keep getting positives on cheapo opk. Today is the 5th positive and I really can't be bothered BDing again. My cycles are totally irregular now, so hard to know what's going on. I officially hate ttc!

 

[Allie84]

No joke, Sugar!! It's not very fun is it? Good luck to you! Hopefully you've ov'ed and are just getting residual LH on the OPKs.

PS Apologies for not posting, but I just seem to be so busy all the time with working, looking after Charlotte and I'm selling greeting cards part time as well. I always try and check in to see what you're all up to though x

I agree Vick, I am so done with winter as well. It seems like everyone around here is getting sick. We have been in the + temps for the last few days as well, and that's not normal for this time of year. So it's making everyone get sick as it keeps fluctuating in temps. I am praying summer comes fast!

Daycare ended up phoning me this morning after Kash had already been there for 2 hours, telling me he wasn't allowed to stay there as it hadn't been 24 hours yet for his fever breaking! I ended up telling them off. They know it is from teething with him, and he is allowed there after the fever breaks due to this. He was not vomitting or anything, and is not contagious. So I wasn't happy when I had to go pick him up, and they are well aware of it. The Director is out sick today, otherwise this wouldn't have happened. I am hoping she is back in tomorrow so I can talk to her about it. Luckily, one of my friends took Kash for the day on short notice and he is having fun over there with her kids.

Mel thats a pretty high temp for teething... Hero has had a couple of freak 104 + high temps this past month for 24 hours without other symptoms...I never thought it could be because of teething...

We have been having spring weather the past couple of weeks. I wasnt even wearing a jacket to take Popi for her walks! In these 2 weeks ive heard so many people being sick, even the news reported that the children's hospital was packed dangerously and to not take your kids in unless its an absolute emergency!

 

[Round2]

Maybe we should all just run away to somewhere tropical for a good month? That will get us past all this crap!

Just when I thought we were on the mend. Maddy was up from 11pm till 4am vomitting last night! Poor kid, I never seen anyone so sick. No way in hell this will pass over me. At least I can look forward to loosing a few pounds!!

Sorry to hear everyone else is so miserable too!

 

[msarkozi]

I hope Maddy feels better soon, and that you luck out and don't catch it!

It's crazy how sick everyone is lately.

Yeah, everytime Kash gets a fever and no other symptoms, it is always from teething. It drives me crazy. He is completely fine this morning (as he was yesterday too), so if Daycare phones me at all, I will lose it.

I seen Allie saying last night that Allistair has an ear infection now too...poor guy It's so hard when the kids are sick.

 

[Allie84]

Yeah, I'm sorry everyone is sick/little ones are sick!!

Alistair got a fever of 104.3 at daycare yesterday and we took him right into the urgent care. I was in tears because he's never had a fever that high. I was so worried. The doctor didn't seem worried though, and said he has an ear infection (along with a cough and cold). He's so exhausted but not napping today! He just cries and cries when I go to put him down.

 

[msarkozi]

hope he feels better soon Allie. It might hurt him to lay on his ear? Will he sleep if he cuddles into you at all? And give him some advil for the pain

 

[Allie84]

Thanks, Mel.

I've been giving him stuff for pain and fever, but I think he's still uncomfortable. Eventually I just gave up and took him to Target to buy Alex a Valentine's Day gift and Alistair was happy as a clam the entire shopping trip. I think he wanted to get out and get some fresh air. As soon as we got home he went right down for a nap. Phew!

BTW I tested this morning with a FRER and it was a BFN. I should be 9 dpo, so I think I'm out. I got a BFP at 9 dpo on a FRER with Alistair and it was really obvious. It's okay with me, though! I'm going to focus on my trip to Scotland now and not think about TTC until I get back.

 

[msarkozi]

fresh air definitely helps. Glad he went for a nap for ya. How was he doing this evening? Did the antibiotics kick in yet?

well I am glad you are feeling good about it, and you are going to focus on your trip first. Sometimes it is easier to wait so you can enjoy something else; I totally understand that.

I got my valentine's early today and one of my friends delivered gorgeous flowers to me at my office (she works with Gord, and he had her deliver them to me over at my office, as we are in two different buildings - 24 km away). And then I also got a nice scentsy warmer and 3 of my favorite scents. I'm pretty spoiled

 

[VGibs]

Oh Mel I am so jealous!!!! Ian doesn't "do" valentines. It's annoying. :S

 

[msarkozi]

no need to be jealous, this is a one time thing for him lol! He is not romantic at all and usually doesn't do anything like this for me. I am shocked that he even thought of it this year lol!

 

[Allie84]

He went to bed at 7 pm last night but he seemed okay. Today his fever is down to just under 100 so I'm going to take him into daycare. They're having a Valentine's Day party there and I think he'll have fun.

Happy Valentine's Day! Mel, that is so sweet of Gord!!

I woke up to some nice gifts. If you follow me on Instagram I posted a picture and everything. Alex got me a dozen red roses, a box of chocolates, a stuffed owl and a gift certificate for a massage at my favorite salon. I feel lame now because Alistair and I picked him out a Star Wars light saber, a stuffed monkey (Alistair's choice lol) and some cologne.

I think we're going out for a romantic dinner as a threesome with Alistair lol. If Alistair is feeling well enough.

Anyone else have any fun plans?

 

[msarkozi]

awe that is so sweet Allie! Love it!

We are not going out at all, but Gord is going to bbq us girls some steaks tonight for supper (Ashley - his niece - lives with us). So this way we don't exclude her either.

I thought about it this morning, and I didn't even get Kash anything for Valentine's day lol! ooops!!!

so glad Alistair's temp is down! Fingers crossed he is on the mend

 

[Allie84]

I didn't know Gord's niece lived with you! That must be a new thing?

Okay, so we've found our flights and the plan is to book them tonight.

We should land in London at noon on the 7th and we'll take the train up to Edinburgh sometime on the 9th.

Sassy, Lucy, Nato, Jenny, I'm looking at you.....you girls all live near London, right? I'd love to have a disco meet-up the 7th or 8th or early on the 9th. I will only have 48 hours in London so I need to think of what to do....I have never been there not as a backpacker, so there's tons of stuff I couldn't afford to do before...I'd love to see a West End show and tour the Harry Potter studios (located outside of London) most of all.

Btw no pressure if none of you can fit me in!! I'm not demanding a meet up or anything.

 

[msarkozi]

Ashley has been back with us since the end of October, and supposed to be there until the end of summer. She is supposed to be working right now to save money to go back to college/university in September. The nice thing is, she will be here for a couple months to help me out with the baby and Kash this summer.

 

[LucyJ]

V that made me laugh about Ian men are funny. Yay for a scan and thats a good day thats when my next scan is.

Benjamin and I made steve valentine day biscuits (theres a pic on fb of them) and I made him a card as didnt like any of the ones in the shop and I got pauses for dramatic effort.............Nothing not even a text to wish me a happy valentines day and he did announce I didnt think we were doing anything Steves pretty useless and doesnt like valentines day he doesnt need 1 day a year to tell me he loves me and they charge double for the same bunches flower which the day before were cheaper blah blah blah I do get flowers randomly so I'll let him off this year. Ive told him he better pull all the stops out for our anniversary in aug

Allie I hope Alistair feels better did you for a family valentines meal. Sounds like you got spoilt rotten thats so sweet. Steve would of been thrilled if Id got him a light saber as a present. If Im at my parents Im about an hr from london by train Ive been trying to convince steve to take friday the 8th off so we can home on the 7th and have a long weekend if we do would love to meet up with you on friday.

Benjamim has been so sweet today yesterday steve was telling him to be gentle with me he was trying to bounce on my tummy so steve said carefull theres a buba in mummys tummy you have to be gentle. Benjamin kept saying buba pointing to my tummy and then was blowing kisses so we said aww you blowing kisses to the baby. Today he was on the sofa with me and he pulled my tummy went buba and kissed my tummy then gave me a cuddle it was so sweet

Hi girls! My internet has been down for days. Oh the horror! I just logged on for the first time and am looking forward to catching up. Lucy, love the ticker!

It's a long weekend for Tim so I'm hoping I'll have some time to be online this weekend while he's caring for Delilah.

For now, just wanted to pop in and say hi!
