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

[TexasRider]

Giggle that's how I feel about my child too. I don't want her to be an only child. I'm purposely not thinking about the lack of sleep thing haha

I finally got to hold my nephew and he is the sweetest thing. We are going to go see him again tomorrow. I just love him to pieces and it really makes me want another baby sooner rather than later!

 

[FutureMrs]

Just wanted to thank you all for the congrats! And my fingers are crossed all of you lovely ladies get your Bfp in the very near future!

 

[claireybell]

Claire- You're a lime now! Makes me want to eat some guacamole! Mine is still only a poppy seed, but I guess once I'm 5 weeks it'll be 10,000 times bigger!? Mind blowing!

Yup!! You'll be an Appleseed next your week changes over Weds yes? Mine too eeee! Wonder what fruit is next.. Has any sickness kicked in yet Campn? Luuuuurve Guacamole!! Yumsk!

 

[claireybell]

Haha as far as testing goes im going to hold out as long as I can before I test. I don't have many cheapies in the house thanks to that confusing cycle in Oct-Dec that went on forever. But if my temp is good and high I may cave around 11-12dpo lol but my TWW is almost halfway over!

You are so good Texas! I always started testing at 6dpo Lol

Right?! I am such a poas too

And congrats future

Im sure its been known that ive poas before 6dpo aswell HAHA! Hell id still be on one now

 

[claireybell]

Texas your chart is looking great hun aww new bubba cuddles are lovely! Roll on that bfp in a couple more days

Gigs, af stayed away still yes... ))))

 

[TexasRider]

Awe thanks! I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I will know one way or the other next Tuesday. But if my temp is still pretty high saturday or Sunday then all testing bets are off! Lol

 

[pacificlove]

Congrats Future Mrs!! That is so exciting for you


CB: wow, time seems to fly for you, a lime already. How are you feeling?

As for us, I think DH should get here Feb 8. So 2 1/2 weeks ahead of schedule and correct timing to try and catch the egg :-D
He will be confirming that date with the seller next weekend. Turns out she never found a new place to live in so she will become our tenant and move into the cottage on the property and we'll move into the house. All just depends now how quickly she wants to leave the house now (she has until March 1st). DH has talked to her twice now and thinks we'll get along great.
DH has told her, she is not allowed to encourage me to get more poultry but then she asked if her and I could convince him to get some goats. I think we'll get along great.
I am going to pick up our new stock trailer next weekend so am ready to move any day after

Saturday I released the owl that's been killing my ducks. Here is the last picture I took of him:

I released him ~40km away (as the crow flies) from home, so he'll probably be back...
I have a release video too but I don't think I can upload the video the same way I do a picture?

 

[DobbyForever]

Can you put the video on YouTube then just post link? That owl is so gorgeous. Maybe he dropped your letter to hog warts somewhere on accident? Hahaha

Pregger ladies... You are making me hungry

I was the middle of four and loved it. No singular for me. Two min, three max

 

[pacificlove]

Dobby: I don't upload many videos to youtube... so lets see if this worked:

Claire- They turn over on Tuesdays! So tomorrow I'm 5 weeks. I've this miscarriage statistics by day website opened on my laptop and everyday I look at it and like try to breathe. Of course only me will think of the worst case scenario.

I'm starting to feel a little nauseous which truly sucks cause last time it start around 7 weeks, but whatever it takes for the baby to grow, I'll do it.

Dobby- I also think 3 would be our maximum but I don't know if it'll happen, like DH says, one baby at a time! My mom also had 4 and she said she loved it and wouldn't ever change it, I believe her cause we are literally her entire world, I don't think she even had friends since she was so busy with us. I'm so so so tightly crossing everything for you this cycle, I hope you get your BFP!

 

[DobbyForever]

OMG I love that look of "f- you" poop in the truck then flies away hahaha

 

[campn]

Pacific- It works! It's so rude of him to poop as you're doing your goodbyes, it's like he's mad at you "like hey, take this!" I also expected him to get hit by a truck as he was flying away. I watch too much final destination movies.

 

[DobbyForever]

Campn you are hilarious

 

[pacificlove]

Oh he was mad at me!! Guess it didn't help that I left him in the crate all night with ducks wandering right by him. I am sure they were saying "f-you for killing our buddies" all night.
Hope he learned his lesson and won't return.

 

[JLM73]

Hello chickadees...took a break from the boards as I felt like dog sh*t last couple days....well Owl sh*t seems more appropriate given the video Pacific lol
Sorry to hear you had a predator problem, but hopefully the crating was traumatic enuff that it stays gone. Beautiful bird tho...

I really don't have much update. Hoping donor is still on board come Fri/Sat.
SO has been so busy working, or visiting his father in the hosp, that we have not seen each other all week. It's another off week for both our kids schedules so not sure we will meet up this week...
No worries tho...I'm feeling lazy...didn't even temp last cpl days

 

[DobbyForever]

Hugs J! When do you plan on confirming with donor? Sorry about not getting to see SO

I don't want to get excited but lol this is the first time since Aug Chinese Gender says boy. Age 26 only has four boy months

 

[pacificlove]

J, I am hoping the same... sorry you aren't feeling too well.

-34C yesterday morning after day break. Co-workers reported -37C. I am sure our night time lows were somewhere around -38/-39C over night. Truck was very slow to start and my power steering was stiff.
Today, a balmy -19C and snowing. Almost shorts and t-shirt kind of weather.
Can't wait to be back with DH on the west coast

 

[campn]

Pacific- Oh that must have been hard, exactly how I'll feel if I'm locked up and surrounded by pizza I hope he doesn't return. And oh the snow looks so beautiful, I kinda miss it.

Jlm- Glad you took the break you needed, I also did that every time AF showed up, having to wait three weeks to ovulate every month didn't help. Hope the donor holds up his end of the deal!

Dobby- The Chinese calendar predicted boy with my son and it was clearly right, this time it's saying girl and I really hope so! I loved doing these old wives tale tests with the cabbage and the baking soda and all that, they all said boy!

 

[DobbyForever]

That is crazy!!! Our lows are like 40-50 here. Can't imagine.

Campn, I love old wives tales. When I get bored I watch gender reveals and I love the ones that go through their wives tales boards before revealing

 

[JLM73]

No idea on donor... I will just txt him Fri morn since he is off that day.
He contacted me first last time, as he "saved the date" so to speak...
No need for me to stress about it till Fri anyhow
