Lucky thread

Sath it's time to roll out the sexy underwear to keep oh going for a few more days haha
A 30 min drive to the rescue centre, that was definitely a good deed done
Yup I think work are suspicious but I think they think I'm going for interviews haha, I don't think they suspect pregnancy. I've been to the dr/ hospital last wed, fri, mon, wed and Thursday (today) I just told them I have a problem with my medication and it's making me ill, coz that will cover me for ms too

Bailey that sounds like a good shop. I didn't really get any goodies, I got meat, veg, fruit, toilet paper, pizza and pies coz they were discounted and great for I can't be bothered days and on offer juices, milk and almond milk that I love oh I lie I bought a pack of 4 ripples coz they were on offer

Stop talking about Christmas bar humbug that means winter and I'm enjoying the summer still, it's been boiling in the sun today, there will be lots of burnt people watching the air display

Cupcake can you borrow the pump for as long as you want/need?

Cheryl any spotting yet?

Cath are you off work tomorrow as its Friday?

My appointment went fine thanks bailey, a waste of time really coz I knew my levels and he told me to reduce my meds which I've already done. Air display was good we took loads of photos of the red arrows, I'm not fussed on the rest of the planes really

 

[baileybubs]

Mrs d I'm amazed its still gorgeous weather down there! It's terrible here! Rain and clouds and I've had the fire on today!
Mmmm I love ripples!
At least the doctor confirmed you needed to reduce your meds. I think your excuse to work is great, and not exactly a lie more like bending the truth lol! Coz today was actually about your meds being wrong lol!
And I love Christmas! My fave time of year! But I'm not so thrilled about buying all the present this year, but guess we have a good excuse not to spend much on everyone else lol!

Sath deffo a good deed done, poor little squirrel!
And I agree with mrs d time to get the sexy underwear out lol! Unfortunately my df needs no encouragement at the moment and its so hard to try and still be a fiancée when your a mother to a young baby! Sad to say sometimes when he's all "excitable" all I'm thinking is "once we've done this I need to sterilise the bottles and then get the washing out...." Hahaha!

 

[MrsDuck]

bailey, so there might be an ooopsie before Christmas

It has been much colder here at night and first thing in the morning but I haven't worn a jumper yet

I can't wait to get the Doppler out, hubby wants to try now but I'll wait a couple of weeks before giving it a go

 

[baileybubs]

I've made sure I've been more vigilant with the condoms mrs d lol, I have decided that I really really want to try for a vbac so need to have at least 18 months between births and that means waiting til after Christmas. Although if it did happen I'd just have an ELCS and then if we are lucky enough to have a third child go for vbac with that one lol!! I've got it all planned out haha! All we need to do now is focus on saving money for a mortgage deposit. I keep watching This Morning and that competition they have thinking "if I won that it would be all our problems solved" and we could move forward instead of feeling financially stuck lol! £54,321 would get us a mortgage deposit, enough for a wedding and possibly even a car each if we didn't get expensive ones! And still have some left to spoil Emilia!

What would you ladies do with £54,321?

I've read some people have got heartbeats on dopplers as early as 8 weeks but personally I would wait til 10 then give it a try. You don't wanna worry yourself for no reason if you can't find it. It's amazing when you do though!

 

[cupcake1981]

Bailey/Cheryl quick question so just popping in, how do you manage formula feeding on the go? Do you fill a sterilised bottle with hot water and put in the thermal carrier and add milk powder when you want the feed? x

 

[baileybubs]

I carry either one of those pre-made cartons of milk and just heat it up by putting it in the bottle in some hot water, or I fill a flask with boiled water that has cooled for no more than 30 mins. I also use small tupperware tubs with the amount of powder needed for one bottle in each. Sometimes the milk is then still a little too hot from the flask to drink so cool in a jug of cold water or under a tap. Depends where you are going. But Emilia feeds all in one go and I never need to use the thermal warmer, and when she was newborn she only had 2-3 ounces at a time so I didn't save it I just made fresh if she wanted feeding again an hour later.
Sorry if that's not much help Hun!

 

[baileybubs]

I've just re-read that does it make any sense to you?

 

[MrsDuck]

Do they give you an option of a vbac, I thought all subsequent births would also be a section?

54 grand oooh it would start with a fantastic holiday

I think I'll use it knowing I'm not likely to get a heartbeat until 10 weeks then if I get one before its a bonus. I might chicken out though until after my next scan just so I don't upset myself

 

[cupcake1981]

Totally makes sense Hun. Thinking of having a little outing tomo and thinking of logistics!

 

[SATH]

Lol mrs d u minx now i know how u got duffered so quick!! Most men would be glad of the problem but mh oh def gets performance anxiety bless him. Legs shaved and sexy underwear what more can he want!

Its been warmer here today but pouring now. Winter us definitely on the way but i cant wait for christmas. Sober new year for you mrs d!!

 

[baileybubs]

Cupcake no worries hope it works out for you. As long as you've got somewhere you can cool it I find the flask works best unless Zach isn't fussy about the temperature coz those ready made cartons can be given cold. Emilia likes hers warm though.
I once cooled her bottle under the tap in the sink at a baby play centre lol! Means we don't have to be restricted when we go out though.

Sath haha love your comment about how mrs d got duffered so quick! I wouldn't mind with my df but my legs currently look like they belong to a yeti coz my razors are duff and everytime I go out I forget to get new ones (like I did today when I went to Morrisons!). Apparently my df doesn't care lol.
Bless your dh though I know a lot of men get performance anxiety when ttc. My df didn't but he's just a horny little sod so loves it when we are ttc lol! Actually I bet that's why he asked when are we gonna start ttc again the other night, he's probably looking forward to all the baby dancing again seen as he's lucky to get it once a week at the mo lol!

Mrs d I think actually a holiday would be first on my list too if I won that kind of money. Are you gonna give the doppler a go then at about 8 weeks?

 

[MrsDuck]

Haha I know I think dh was gutted when I caught the first month, he thought he was in for lots of bd'ing.

Bd'ing on demand is hard though especially if you've had a fall out or really don't fancy it but know you have to

Cupcake look at you out and about already whoo hoo

Haha a yeti bailey, I don't think my dh cares either. Boo for condoms.

Yeah that's the plan with the Doppler

 

[baileybubs]

I know mrs d I remember when I was having to force myself to dtd after working two 12 hour shifts in a row coz my fertile period always fell on my busy weekends in work lol! Not sure how ttc is going to work with having Emilia now! Will maybe have to start staying up waiting for df to get home from work!

You'll have to let us know how you get along when you do use your doppler mrs d!

 

[MrsDuck]

Of course I'll keep you posted, I tell you everything haha

It will be a quick baby dance between feeds, just as well she's in her own room now haha

I have absolutely stuffed myself with dinner tonight, I'm sure I'll regret it later

 

[baileybubs]

Lol I do always have to laugh at all the things we tell each other! We know so much about each other yet have never met!

It does feel much better for us all that she's in her own room, I can get changed from my bath in my bedroom and can read in bed yay! So will deffo be better for dtd haha

I'm just eating a chilli that I just made and if I do say so myself it's lush!

 

[MrsDuck]

I know, we will have to all meet up, somehow

My friend had nachos topped with chilli and melted cheese last night and I had food envy, it looked gorgeous

I cooked a roast chicken dinner, it must be winter, I think I was getting withdrawal symptoms as I don't cook roasts through the summer.

 

[baileybubs]

Lol I had one last week cooked by my mum, was delish! With yummy crunchy crackling too!

I love nachos with cheese and chilli mmmmm. I've just had to stop myself having another bowl of mine coz I'll make myself ill lol!

 

[CherylC3]

Hi not due af till sat cupcake I bought the Tupperware pot tht holds up to 8oz for 4 feeds Leo's never been fussy about the temperature so I just fill my bottles every morning and he has his cold.x

Bailey I kno the feeling I feel my sex drive has left me its not good hubby has been so horny too.x

Mrs d I never tried my Doppler till I was about 18wks lol..x

Sath I hope u get duffered quick Hun..x

Well my cousin is just away I gave her lots of OPKs and pg tests I'm jealous I can't wait to start trying and get excited peeing on sticks again lol..x

 

[MrsDuck]

I can't believe you didn't use your Doppler til 18 weeks! I can't wait to get mine out of the box

Christmas will be here before you know it, 3 cycles til you are back poas

Mmm bailey crackling, but so naughty

 

[baileybubs]

Oh I know it's one of the worst things you could eat health-wise lol!

Cheryl it won't be long for us Hun, just look how quickly the last 5 months have gone! And yep just 3 cycles (or 4 AFs) for us both (or at least it is for me coz I'm only on cd8 at the mo).

I just watched midwives.....think I should maybe record them and keep them on my TiVo til I'm ttc again or else I really will end up having an ooops again before Christmas! Those lovely little newborns!
I've just popped my head in on Emilia and just watched her sleeping, she's so adorable, she's got one arm draped half across her face lol! It's funny how I know the monitor works really well but I just have to check on her anyway, little munchkin
