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

[campn]

Gigs- You're such a babe! I'm gonna start calling you clementine like that movie eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!

 

[gigglebox]

Lol! That was a good movie. Actually i was literally just thinking yesterday how that would be a good name for a dog

 

[claireybell]

I absolutly LOVE that film!

 

[claireybell]

ooooh gigs just seen your pics, your hair looks fab girl!!! Do you have green eyes or hazel? Couldnt quite see ha ha but lovely all the same

 

[pacificlove]

Gigs I love your hair! Plus blue is my favorite color, ha-ha!

I am getting pretty stressed here. I still don't have the trailer... Dh and I decided to finance it to not cut into our cash the next few months. Turns out the financing company hasn't paid for the trailer yet so the trailer place isn't releasing the trailer. Gah!
If I can't get the sheep trained and on the trailer I can't leave on Saturday which means I don't get to see hubby Sunday evening.

 

[claireybell]

Ahh Pacific thats stinky about the trailer & then not seeing hubs i hope something gets sorted out! Is the Snow bad still where you are?

 

[mrs.green2015]

Pl- have you talked to the finance people? That's crazy they haven't paid it.
How long will it take you to get there?

 

[gigglebox]

Aww you guys are so sweet, making me blush

Mrs, that's a bummer about the trailer. Are there any other places you can rent from?

 

[claireybell]

Just recvd a text from my sister saying theyve had to put their dog to sleep he was Epileptic & had a bad fit & wouldnt stop fitting.. Feel so sad for her & kiddies, im blubbing hormones arghh

 

[gigglebox]

Oh no this is my biggest fear with my older dog. That is so incredibly sad, pregnant or not.

 

[claireybell]

I know, hormones just make it worse, he was only young aswell i think 5? Sisters kiddies are distraught, he was a labrador cross but not sure what other breed,

Gigs LOVE the hair color. Looks awesome and you cut it damn good.

Campn...and whomever else, being a mom at 18 while working fulltime AND going to college full time use this trick TRUST me.
When you need a shower bring baby in wash them off quickly, and then swaddle them in one of those baby towels THEN set them in a bouncer or carrier seat right outside the shower while YOU get to shower.
I've done it with ALL my kids.
They will be nice and relaxed and sometimes even fall asleep.
The steam and sound of running water helps cranky babies anyhow TRUST me.
Since they are swaddled up and snug in the seat, you will even get to dry off or even use a hair dryer if need.
They all love water and find steady noise soothing- running water, dryer etc.
Which is why the old colic cure was sitting them on top of a clothes dryer lol.

I'm so sorry hun. We had to give our dog away to another couple and it broke my heart. I cried for a good few hours. No matter what or why losing a pet is a very hard thing to do. Are they getting another dog eventually? Some cuddles may lessen the blow.

 

[claireybell]

I dont think they'll be getting another dog no.. They have a Cat also which they also adore aswell, it just breaks your heart knowing the lil ones are upset, il be ok.. Its hard letting go of pets, they are like your babies, sorry your dog had to go to another home aswell Campn

 

[JLM73]

I'm such an animal lover. I love watching some of the rescue vids on FB but OMG I ball like an idiot EVERYtime.
People I'm good as I have seen how very wicked people can be to one another as a medic
But whenever I see those touching stories of people going out of their way to help someone truly in need- especially anon huge tips or paying for their kid to have major surgery OMG huge cry baby lol.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Aww I love animals. I know I'll be a wreck when any of my fur babies pass away.

Hey all- took a break from B&B because of work stress and being busy. Have to step away sometimes when AF hits!

I'm trying to catch up, skimming through the last 15 pages or so! (love having this much to read!)

AF was just awful this go-round (horrible cramps, went on for 8 days..) and ovulation was painful, and then our timing was horrible, since we had his cousin in town and I was just run ragged from work. Horrible timing all around, and the stress of it all made me just not care about TTC this month. So, technically in the TWW but not really counting on it. Focusing on relaxing and getting some household stuff organized. In my mind, onto the next cycle, at this point!

 

[RexMom2Be]

awww CB! so sorry about your sister's pup: that is AWFUL! I can't imagine. Love my dogs so much.

Cb and campn: a peach and a pea!!!!!!

 

[pacificlove]

Sorry cb about your sisters dog... I'd be heartbroken too.

As for the trailer, looks like I might be able to get it tomorrow. As for the drive, It's a 1550km (1000miles) drive and should take about 17 hours. It'll take me 2 days. Planning on doing the first 8 hours on day 1 and the remaining on the next day. The second day also includes 2 ferries. One is almost 2 hours and the second only 20 minutes.

As for the snow here, we'll be very lucky if it starts melting by April, but we've had it melt as late as may. One year we still had snow on the north side of the house and in the deep forest on my birthday, June 3rd.

 

[DobbyForever]

Welcome back Rex! Sorry to hear that your timing was not so ideal and that it's been a rough AF/ first half of your cycle. FXed you managed to catch that egg anyhow!

PL, so glad you figured out the trailer situation. That stinks that the finance company dropped the ball there. Hoping you get to see hubs on Sunday!

J, that sounds like an interesting idea. There was this tv show, "Playing House" and she used to take her baby into the bathroom and swaddle her right next to the shower. She'd talk to her baby from the shower lol. I take 5 minute showers anyway when it's for business. I'm only in longer when SO is in with me or post gym sweat and soreness.

Gigs, loving the blue! You are so pretty! I especially love how the blue brightens up and bounces off of your eyes. Killer. Good job on the cut as well!

CB, sorry about your sister's dog! That's never easy to put a pet down. My dog still cries looking for my cat that I put down almost two years ago.

AFM, got another bfn just now. Having some AF like cramping off and on. Won't be shocked when my temp drops tomorrow. 6/6 non pregnant charts started to drop/ had dropped on 12dpo. So if my temp is 98.2 or less than that is better than any pregnancy test.
