Early 30's TTC #1

[MsJMouse]

Rosa - I am off till August - just over 7 months I think but only going back part time. Seems like ages away but I have a feeling it will fly by.

Does it snow where you live Rosa? Snow always looks so gorgeous but sounds like it isn't so much fun MrsPTTC. I had never seen snow so till 2008 when we went to NZ for a holiday. I live too far north in OZ for snow. Seems so unreal you guys talking about snow and freezing temps and it is summer here and storm season so hot hot hot. I think most of the pics of fuzzy will have fuzzy in a nappy and singlet (I think they are referered to as vests in the UK???) as it will be so hot.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Ah yeah MsJ complete opposite seasons on the other side of the pond! How cold does it get (or not) during your winter? Yeah snow no fun but I think parts of US have it much worse than UK so I guess we're lucky. It probably snows more where I live than mrsmax as we're at opposite ends of the country, I'm near the border with Scotland. Yeah I think it will be vests lol! Saves you money I bet!

Gosh the heartburn has started, thought I was gonna get away with it too x

 

[rosababy]

Yeah it gets cold where I am...I'm in the Washington DC area. However, I grew up in Chicago, where we get TONS more snow there! I lived in Michigan for a while and it literally snowed every single day from the end of october to mid april. No joke. Every day. Here, we get some snow, but it depends on the year. Last year we had none. The year before that, we had so much snow that the stores were closed, we had 10 snow days from school, it was mass chaos.

 

[rosababy]

mrspttc, it's hard to find me on fb...are you friends with mrsmax or hopeful? you can find me in their friends list. or i can search for you.

 

[MsJMouse]

I can't imagine living somewhere where it snowed every day. It didn't even snow that much when we were in NZ (wrong season for snow - it was late spring) but it was so cold - I don't think I do cold We get to about -4 or so at night where I live but usually it warms up to the mid teens during the day in winter. In summer it is hot and humid with temps in the mid to high 30s and humidity above the 50% mark. Had some horrible days so far this summer but today is cool with showers which was a bit odd.

Yay my mum is coming over tonight so we can make curtains for Fuzzy's room.Very excited.

Rosa and Ready - it is going to be a very exciting Xmas for you this year.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Rosa I'll try to find you on facebook as I'm friends with mrsmax . How is hopeful? Does she say much on fb? Your snow in chicago sounds awful!

MsJ that's some extreme temperatures you have Yay for your mum helping you with the nursery!

[rosababy]

No haven't seen or heard from her in a very long time. that snow was actually in Michigan but it's just as cold in Chicago!

 

[mrsmax]

Hopeful did say on FB she might "drop by", but I imagine it must be so incredibly difficult, especially now most of us are very preggo. I just hope she has all the support she needs and finds a way to have a family of her own when she is ready.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aww I hope she is ok, can't even begin to imagine what she's going through

Rosa I just love your pics of Jack on fb, he's so adorable & your family pics are amazing, you must know one brill photographer

[rosababy]

I still cry when I think of hopeful. I was watching a show the other day with the same situation and was sobbing.

Thanks mrsp! My dh took most of them.

 

[mrsmax]

I am 37 weeks today (ignore my ticker it is a day out!) Cat believe I have made it to term Nursery is almost finished - DH has done a great job - wll try to work out how to post pics on this thing!!! Beginning to feel quite huge, but loving mat leave - although days seem to whizz by as with Christmas there are lots of chores to do! still got to buy DH's christmas present - oops!

Had our tour of the mat unit at the hospital yesterday - scared me a bit. Feels very real and now begininng to worry about birth and labour! Must do more relaation exercises before the big day.

How is everyone else? Ready for Christmas? What has everyone got planned? Anyone going to have a sneaky Christmas ? I am going to allow myself one glass of mulled wine Christmas Eve and a glass of bubbly on Christmas day I think....

 

[MsJMouse]

Yay for full term. How exciting. We also did a tour of the mat unit on the weekend. Definitely getting real. Can't believe how soon your baby will be here!!!

Starting to feel huge as well. Heat is really starting to take its toll - I have cankles Only 4days of work left yay so very tired.

Somewhat organised for Xmas - bought all our presents. We are having a BBQ on Xmas day and will probably hang out in/around the pool.

 

[mrsmax]

MsJ - yay for 4 days. I really feel for you being so big in the heat. I cant imagine that! It is cold, cold, cold here, but would rather that than being hot. Poor you - still, you will be able to put your feet up soon.

BBQ and pool sounds so funny to me for Christmas. :0

Got all DH's pressies now - but now am knackered!

 

[readyORnot]

full term! Congratulations mrsmax!

Speaking of weather, I'm so glad we're in Grenada for Christmas - 24°C at night, 31°C in the day! Haven't been paying much attention to the weather back home but all I know is it's cold!

 

[pink80]

Congrats on full term MrsMax xxx

 

[Regalpeas]

Howdy everyone! Belated Thanksgiving wishes and Happy Holidays!

Congrats to Pink and your new little one. Also congrats to MrsMax for making term! So exciting

Glad everyone seems to be well based on my brief scan of the last few days in this thread.

Praying for everyone especially Soliel and Jogu. This is a tough time of year for we LTTC. Yet still we press on.
Sorry, I' ve been away so long but I should return to my regular posting in a few weeks. Just wanted to stop by with hellos before then!

 

[rosababy]

regal, good to see you, hun. how are you doing?
mrsmax, yay for full term!! are you getting so excited? I remember being very nervous for the actual labor/birth. You'll be fine. Just keep your mind on the end prize.
msjmouse, it's so weird that it's summer for you! It's pretty mild here...mid 50s. Although we're headed to Illinois for xmas and it's gonna be cold there. hopefully we'll get some snow.

 

[babybumpz]

hello
I am 30 and TTC #1. This is my first month trying, and I honestly can't believe how terrible the 2 week wait is. I am 7dpo and I was hoping to test this Thursday which would be my 9th dpo. Is that too soon to test?

 

[rosababy]

Yes, probably. Although some women have seen a bfp that early.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Hi ladies :wave:

Pink you must come back and update the birth of your LO and would love to see a piccie!

Regal so pleased to see you back hun, what's new with you? Hoped you'd have your BFP by now!

MsJ - ahh cankles bless you My friend had them too even though it was freezing cold here in her 3rd tri, she was just swollen everywhere bless her. Yeah Barbie on xmas day does sound funny to us Brits

Mrsmax, yay for full term! Can't wait for your LO to arrive and to see if or ! And yes I'm going to allow myself a little drink, probably on xmas day night, I have some low alcohol wine so I'll probably have a couple of glasses.

Hi Rosa and readyornot!

Babybumpz GL but if you don't get a BFP don't be disheartened as it is rather early.

AFM I felt baby hiccuping yesterday! That was rather weird, I wondered how I'd differentiate between the kicking, punching, hiccupping but it was definitely hiccups, far to fast to be anything else unless I have a little ninja growing inside me Also I think I've been experiencing braxton hicks for the last couple of weeks, I didn't know what it was but googled it the other night and I think that's what it is...

6 sleeps til xmas ladies! x
