General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

[TexasRider]

Fluek- these last few days will pass so slow you would think we were on glacier time. Haha but it will be over soon.

On Thursday we have an employee banquet that I have to attend cause I’m getting my 10 yeas if service award. It’s just a dumb pin but we get a good dinner out of it and it looks bad on you if you don’t show up on the years you get recognized.

My kiddo leaves Friday to go get her cousin in Colorado. She’s going with the inlaws. She also gets real carsick so this should be interesting...

 

[DobbyForever]

Just here to request a digital lol

 

[gigglebox]

Shae how is his new job going? Really hope you get that ring soon!

Fluek no issue here with baby sharing a bday. I found a drs office that comes recommended and delivers at my preferred hospital so hoping they work out and support a vba2c, if conditions are right. If it looks like i'll be in back labor again i'm not even gonna attempt that ish.

Omg dobs you're so bad! Sorry to disappoint but no more buying tests for me unless they are cheapies. Or unless you find me a really good coupon for digi weeks estimator

 

[gigglebox]

Tex great job on 10 years!!! What are they serving? Hope little lady does well on her travels. Also hope you enjoy your kiddo break -- we may love them but breaks are nice!!!

I don’t mind a line dresses but I’m not keen on them on me is all! I think on other people they are classic and beautiful!

Anyway I’m just here for more line porn, anyone? Gigs ?

 

[shaescott]

Tex - congrats on 10 years! What grade level do you teach again? And what subject?

Gigs- his job is going alright so far, thanks for asking! It’s just a summer job, minimum wage, but it’s something. He’s doing dishwashing and concessions at a local outdoor concert venue. He says the dishes are way heavier than he expected and his back isn’t too happy about it, but at least it’s money. He gets his schedule way in advance based on the concert bookings, so he’s thinking he might get a second job because he doesn’t have a ton of hours at this job.

Kitty I think they look great on you, but I understand. There are some shapes we just don’t like the look of on ourselves despite thinking they look great on other people. I’m super picky about dresses, I see tons of pretty dresses and try them on and am sorely disappointed that they don’t look good on me (or, I don’t think they do, others might). It’s odd considering I have the body they’re modeled on, yet they still don’t look right on me. It might be a mental thing.
I think some clothing styles just look odd on me, even though I love them on others. Especially on short people. I see so many cute outfits on short girls and then I try on something similar and I look stupid. My legs are crazy long, that doesn’t help. Well, not super long, I wear regular length jeans, but they look proportionally really long. My body just seems awkward sometimes lol.

I spent 9 years at middle school doing several things. I did just science for like 6 years a combo of 6th and 7th grade there. Then the principal moved me to elective classes and I did 3 years of various electives like art computer and gardening. I moved to the high school in August and I teach “Intro to Culinary Arts” which is a fancy way of saying I teach cooking 10 basically.

The food is being catered by a smal local restaurant and the menu is chicken fried steak or fried chicken mashed potatoes green beans and dessert... breaking my diet but it’s gonna be worth it!

 

[gigglebox]

Tex your school has a gardening elective?! That's amazing! I would have totally done that if my school offered it. How useful!

Anyway I’m just here for more line porn, anyone? Gigs ?

You know it!
I looked back at my Walmart cheapie at 13dpo with Lev and they're about the same so

Also we told a couple of friends yesterday, our hometown besties that have the baby same age as Lev. They weren't together so we faced time them separately...well when we called the guy friend he was in his car; he congratulated us then turned the phone to the side and one of our mutual friends was sitting in the car! I had no idea! We are not super close so hoping he can keep his mouth shut! I would not have said anything if I knew he was there. Oh well!

 

[TexasRider]

Yes we have had it the high school for a long time so the principal made a class for 6th grade garden science and since I was a science teacher she made me teach it. Except I suck at keeping plants alive so it wasn’t super successful under my care. I’m at the high school this year doing cooking and the guy who took over has a large garden at his house every year so he’s experienced with gardens etc and it’s done much better this year.. i told her I didn’t know what the heck I was doing haha

 

[Flueky88]

Gigs I know!! I want more digis with weeks estimator!! I have one left fom last pregnancy. I'm saving it for when I should get a 3+ result. Hope it doesn't expire before I get bfp. Awesome on finding a group, I hope you really like them. Also hope that friend doesn't spill the beans for you. Oh I think your test looks greater. My walmart cheapie test at 13dpo wasn't quite that dark.

Shae glad his job is going well but I think being able to save up money by working extra in summer is a good ideal. Hope he can get you a nice ring sometime soon.

Texas that sounds delicious!! Congrats!! I also have a "brown" thumb. I can't garden to save my life. Maybe one day.

Kitty that's fine. We all have pur preferences. If we all only liked A lines then only A lines would exist.


AFM having a better day. I was so exhausted I slept from a little after 8 to a little after 10 whn DH came home.

I have so much cleaning to do before my dad comes in though so I've got to get my booty in gear! He'll be here Saturday morning. So excited!!

I think DH thinks I'm pregnant because I was so tired. He won't say it until aftera bfp though I think it's too early to tell though.

 

[gigglebox]

Well despite my reluctance I looked for digi weeks at walmart and they don't have them anymore. Only the ones that says preg or not preg. For some reason the ones with just words don't give me any satisfaction so they were easy to resist.

Fluek what dpo are you? When are you testing???

 

[claireybell]

Oooh Kitty i love ALL those dresses, you look so lovely in all of them my sister had a mermaidy-fishtail type dress but it wasnt strapless but still lovely, my dress (when I eventually get hitched lol) will be strapless most def with lotsa lace involved

Lovin the line porn again hehe im the same Gigs on the Digis without the wks estimator, easy to say ‘naaaah’ lol. Aww love your ticker aswell

Had such a busy day today & so mych cleaning urghhh! SO “accidentally” knocked a wall through yesterday so there was dust crap EVERYWHERE! Mainly kitchen.. i say accidental as he took the 3 last remaining old windows out as the main wall is being knocked through on Saturday (EEK) & the larger of the window which was on Rileys old bedroom wall, he had to yank the window out slightly as it was stuck & as the wall is free standing because of new Ext upstairs etc the bricks all just fell over Lol MESS!

But tomorrow us my private scan day arghhhhh excited hehe!!

Ooh didnt bdb have her Scan today? Hope all went well for her

 

[gigglebox]

Eeeee baby in itero pics soon! Can't wait to see!

Omg cb that sounds like a majjjor reno you've got going on! I'd love to add an extra bedroom and an all seasons room but total pipe dreams right now!

 

[Flueky88]

Gigs I'm either 4 or 5dpo. Opk was positive Friday and negative Saturday. My temp at 3 a.m. Saturday was 97.23ish but 97.74ish at 6 a.m. (which is my normal wake time). I'm thinking I Od early Saturday morning. I'm considering testing Monday as I might get a squinter at 9/10 dpo lol I have like 50 hpts!

Yes, the US has dropped the weeks estimator due to lawsuits from what I understand. I think it cause women emotional trauma due to either their weeks being from O rather than weeks "pregnant" or their hcg didn't rise as high/fast so they were inaccurate.

I really loved them though. I waited a day or two after turning 4 and 5 weeks to ensure I got the intended result.

CB I do have a plain digi as well as I like DH to see the word. It makes it more real for him.

Oh that sounds like a real mess. I hope renovating doesn't take long.

You must share scan pic. I love looking at the little babes especially once they start looking like babies

Ah, I'm so unmotivated to do house cleaning

 

[Jezika]

Uhhh just dropping by to say GIGS I TURN MY BACK FOR ONE WEEK AND YOU GO AND GET PREGNANT?!

Huge congrats. Just so much excite.

 

[claireybell]

Omg Flueks 50hpts haha love it

 

[gigglebox]

Thanks Jez

Ok Fluek with 50 hpt's I think you can spare just one for an early monday test! Dooo eeeet

Are you still "feeling" pregnant? I was discussing early pregnancy factor with my SIL last night. Makes you feel less crazy when you feel pregnant but aren't. Maybe conception has occurred?

Afm feeling very not pregnant, with the exception of extremely slow digestion ooommmmggggggg. I am so bloated.
Also have no real appetite or cravings so finding food to eat has been a challenge.

 

[shaescott]

50 hpts, I love it!!!

CB I’m excited to see scan pics!

I’ve been getting really obvious EWCM since Sunday, extra EW-like this morning, and it’s really weird for me. But considering I’m still getting it, I’m assuming I haven’t ovulated yet (and I might not ovulate at all considering the mirena). Although I think I’ve had EWCM post ovulation before. Ugh. God, I can’t wait to get on the pill. I need consistency, god damn it!

 

[claireybell]

Shae when are i having your iud removed? Combi pill is great

Gigs im feeling your pain on the challenging eating front & bloatedness uhh i have a mini bloated baby bump lol
