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

[claireybell]

I couldnt eat chicken my last pg, GAG!! The smell & everything was just lol

The aversions will pass Campn, hopefully sooner than later.. Had mine yukkiness for 4wks ish then it just disapeared over a couple of days!

My bladders done in, i coughed yesterdsy evening & a lil pee shot out god bless panty liners hahaaa!!

I dont think i felt any flutters or anything with Riley until 16/17 wks or maybe just before 20wk scan?... Second time around is supposd to be recognised sooner but app my placenta is anterior but up very high on my left side do any movements will be on my right early on.. Not expecting to feel anything just yet but you never know! Gigs wow, 13wk flutters thats awesome!

 

[gigglebox]

Yeah, from what i understand this is super early. I wasn't positive that was what it was, but the following week it happened during an ultrasound. I also got the rare experience of seeing him "breathing" through my stomach. It's hard to tell, but here ya go: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NZh8CMr6Z3A

 

[claireybell]

You go Texas! Get it girl!

Nothing new here to report.
Mom's idea of calling a truce?
She decided to make a huge ham, and of course needs my "help" with the glaze lol.
We JUST did this for Xmas.
She refuses to admit it but she really is losing her memory.
Yet another reason I hate to do the house separation- as she will call me all day with inane questions...
It's for the best really tho. I'm gonna try to talk her into getting her next house in a "retirement" community, so she can chat away with folks her age.
Ahh the joys of growing old lol.

 

[mrs.green2015]

I think that would be a great place for her J!

I don't think there's much to report from any of us. I'm not so patiently waiting to ov.

 

[claireybell]

Go Texas!! Ride him cowgirl

MrsG hope your getting your groove on aswell hehee!!

J my Dad was the exactly the same, he would get angry lots aswell for no reason then when he calm down & you chat casually, he'd get upset as he knew his memory was going, was so sad to watch him being living alone didnt help but if he lived somewhere with lotsa old folk like you saying about for your Mumsy then it keeps the memory perked up & then they love the company my dad was stubborn & didnt want to move Lol! But def worth thinking about though.. My Dad sadly passed last July at nearly 79, still guts me & my sisters

 

[claireybell]

MrsG forgot to ask, will you be taking progesterone this cycle or did you only take it that cycle once before?

 

[gigglebox]

J, that sounds great. Usually you can transition to assisted living quite easily in those 'hoods you know, if she ever needs it.

And,because y'all asked...here's the latest super secret painting.

 

[claireybell]

Gorgeous painting Gigs

 

[mrs.green2015]

Gig- that's beautiful! You're so artistic I am absolutely jealous.

CB- I'm going to take it again starting on cd 18 (just as I did when I fell)

 

[mommyhopeful2]

Texas: go get 'um
MrsG: cant be too long now, thanks for the lingerie advice. DH loved that i let him help me pick some out
Clairey: Sorry to hear about your dad I cant imagine losing mine, but the stubborn old man will probably still be dancing when my kids get out of college.
J: I feel like thats were im going to be in the next 10 years at some point with my mom. Maybe a supported retirement community would work well.

Gigs: gorgeous painting looks like my dog when he was a pup

My update: 5-6dpo (not really sure how to count it because my temps and opk caught the end of it) but i might be in this cycle as last night i had severe cramping and this morning noticed a bit of spotting so FX. Dont want to test too early but i might test saturday morning. Going to a WWP event with the hubby this weekend and how cool would it be to have them announce it to him in front of all his fellow vets.... lol

 

[claireybell]

Excellent MrsG feeling good things for you this cycle hehe!

Thankyou Mommy

I sooo need to get some new bedroom lingerie ha ha SO was literally asking this the other day, def need a bra re sizing though Lol!

Whats a WWP event Mommy? Oooh il be keeping fingers crossed for dbl test lines this wknd for you hehe!

 

[JLM73]

OOH Gigsey! Is that the wedding gift??
I love that expression on the face lol.

CB So sorry about your dad. Mine went downhill soooo slowly. He passed in 2010 2 months after my DS was born- so that was a tough time, but I know had he been clear minded he would not have wanted to lay in bed wetting himself all day
He was a very proud and organized man. So he would never have wanted to live like that - he couldn't hold a fork nor write anymore, and called me the wrong name lol.
I agree when old folks stop being active- the mind goes faster.
That's what my mom is doing now, being depressed and complaining alllll day.
I keep telling her she's gonna end up like my dad.
His memory went at abou 69/70?? But he didn't pass away until 75.
My mom is 75 now.

 

[mrs.green2015]

Thanks CB! It's still super early but I'm already atatting to doubt I'll ovulate. Trying to stay positive though.

 

[claireybell]

Ah J, sorry about your Dad aswell yeah my Dad always repeated himself from a much younger age from what i can remember but it started getting worse late 60's id say, my grandad on mums side had Dementia aswell & he always forgot her name & sometimes never recognised her Anyhoooow.. Onto a more happier subject lol!

Im watching 50 shades of grey haha! Alone

MrsG always have hope of ovulation hun, you def ovulate as previous proof

 

[Flueky88]

Gigs, beautiful painting. Your are so talented!

Texas, woohoo for high fertility

Green, try not to doubt yourself it will increase stress and that can delay O for sure. It's a bit silly but I tell myself every day, occasionally multiple times " I will O, my egg will be fertilised, and implant. I will have a baby in 9 months". It just helps to have positive thinking. I'm also keeping myself busy with non ttc stuff so I don't obsess.

Campn, hope you are feeling better today.

CB sorry to hear about your father.

J, your mom is a real piece of work. I'm sorry she is such a negative influence in your life.

Mommy, good luck. Fx for BFP.

I wonder if pacific was able to make her trek to her DH.

Afm, nothing much. Working, reading, being patient as possible

WWP is the Wounded Warrior Project. its for veterans. a way to get info to them about resources and events to get their mind off things. My hubby was in the Army in Iraq and Kuwait.

 

[JLM73]

OMG Xmas in February we have a brown sugar glazed ham, dressing, mashed potatoes and candied yam LOL OMG so good.
