I'm so tempted to try it again tonight! I'm convinced I didn't really hear the heartbeat last night now lol!

I do love the festive season! We've been out for the day again with my family this time, Emilia was in a fabulous mood and has had so much fun. She's really becoming such a character!

How's everyone else today? Hope you are all well!

 

[MrsDuck]

Haha that sounds like me and actually I'm not onvinced I did hear the hb until 12 weeks but I think that was just down to the anterior placenta

Aw glad you had a good day, did she cry at Father Christmas?

I just took a bump pic I'll update in a mo from my phone

 

[MrsDuck]

My 19 week bump

 

[baileybubs]

Aw such a lovely bump mrs d!! I can't wait for mine again!

She didn't see Father Christmas coz apparently going in Santas grotto was booking only!

 

[cupcake1981]

Aw what a lovely bump mrs d, you look like I did at 19 weeks, maybe you'll be huge like I was but it's all good!!

Hi ttc how you doing?

Yeah mrs d my isofix base isn't too heavy or hard to move. But we won't be using it for much longer coz we will be getting a bigger car seat, the one that fits the base is only suitable to about 1 year old, I don't know if that's the case with others or just mine.

hi bailey, i'm pretty good. have my u/s tomorrow to check for mature follies, then hopefully hcg trigger! i'm feeling o pains this weekend and today. i better not have o'd yet! we only dtd this morning.

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Do you know what you are getting anyone? I just started with the ones I knew lol

Look at you already almost 9 weeks preggers! OMG!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Fairly successful morning shopping, I've probably got half of them now yay.

I picked up for me at boots the gel nail set with 2 colours, including the light box, top and base coat, the removal tool and liquid for less than half price I thought it was worth a go

OMG my house looks like a bomb has hit it, hubby started packing while is was away yesterday, god knows where to find stuff now

Has anyone finished their Christmas shopping yet? There are so many of us that get together over Christmas it costs a fortune in presents

i have done nothing yet. did not put up a tree yet either or decorate. not sure when i will. my holiday spirit usually doesn't kick in for another week or so. He, he...plus my head is just totally wrapped around my cycle and that's all i can think about. When to start this med and that med, when is my u/s to check follies, etc. TUNNEL VISION! Didn't care about my bday or thanksgiving really. both were nice but not on the brain. now christmas is right around the corner and my thoughts are only on my cycle! i need a hobby! He, he...

My 19 week bump

adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MrsDuck]

Oh no, no Father Christmas for emilia boo

I know I look like a hefferlump already haha
Do do you how many inches you waist measured just before you had zach? Mine is 40 inches already aaaaagh!

Ttc how exciting, I hope you have lots of mature follies

We have packed up lots already, plus I booked the removals today yay it all feels real now

Good luck, TTC.

MrsD, soooo cute! You look great!

Everyone else, hi! We are decorated for Christmas and I took Emily's Christmas card pictures. She sat on Santas lap but cried... I knew she would as she has stranger anxiety big time right now. I've finished basically all of our Christmas shopping other than one or two things. We aren't buying for tons of people thought so that helps. With Emily I keep thinking, we have too much, she's just a baby and then thinking we don't have enough, it's her first Christmas! Lol her birthday is so close to Christmas, she will be 1 ( how the hell did that happen) on Jan 23rd... We've been randomly accumulating gifts and then I just recently figured out what we would give her for each.

 

[cupcake1981]

I dunno what I measured mrs d but I was ginormous at the end, still big babies are good, they take more food so sleep longer, it's not a bad thing! And you can suffer a horrendous tear with a 6lber and a 9lber can just pop out no worries.

My baby is sick, within a week of quitting pumping. Mummy guilt in overdrive

Ttc i so hope this is your cycle and you get an awesome Xmas pressie!!!

Hey Amy, I keep thinking the same about Zachs gifts, most if them he'll prob have before Xmas!!

 

[MrsDuck]

1 already wow that time has gone quickly. Emily's festive pics were soooo cute xx

Aw cupcake you did brilliantly with bf done blame yourself, hes bound to pick up bugs xx

 

[baileybubs]

Aw Amy I absolutley love that pic of Emily on fb with the Santa hat!!!! She is sooooo cute!! And I can't believe she's almost one already too!

Ttc fingers crossed for an awesome Christmas pressie fr you!! Let us know how the scan goes and how those follies are looking!

Cupcake don't feel guilty at all Hun, just because you've stopped pumping means nothing Hun he has already built up an amazing immune system, there's no way he's gotten I'll just because you've stopped pumping Hun. You need to stop beating yourself up coz you did amazingly!! I gave up after 3 days and you lasted 3 months!!! That's fab!!
And I hope poor little Zach gets better soon Hun.

Mrs d how are you today? How's things going through on the house?

Hope everyone else is ok!

 

[MrsDuck]

Still all on track for 20th thanks bailey so fingers crossed We did loads of packing up yesterday.
Have you settled into your new house now, do you prefer it to the last one?

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah as much as I loved our old house it's nice to have 3 bedrooms (I'm currently sleeping in the spare room just so I can get enough sleep with df snoring lol). And it's an easier house to keep clean I think, maybe coz of all the laminate floors.
Just need to get the garden sorted coz there were a lot of weeds coming through the gravel we have in the back, and there's one of those big Yuka plants that's flowers are dying so I really need to get round to sorting it lol!

Glad it's all looking set to go! Not too long now then is it? Are you excited?

 

[MrsDuck]

Haha I do the same, if I can't sleep I just go into the spare room.
Yeah I can't wait, I just feel in limbo at the moment, but them I'm used to that haha
I also want to put my Christmas decs up

Oh that's good, I like a house that's easy to keep clean and tidy ours is awful coz we've got so much stuff and nowhere to put things

 

[cupcake1981]

Mrs d when is your scan?? Can't be long!!

Zach is very sniffy and grunts and like he has a cold, sneezing and coughing too and he keeps making himself jump with his cough! Still I've put olbas oil almost everywhere in his cot and given him calpol so hopefully he'll be ok overnight! Any other tips would be appreciated!!

 

[baileybubs]

I used tixylix for Emilia when she had that dry cough, it's only glycerol that coats the throat to stop tickles so it depends what kind of cough he has. I've heard that vaporub on babies feet then cover with socks works wonders.

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh that's a good idea I'll get some in tomo in case it gets worse.

It's our 2nd wedding anniversary tomo hubby has taken the day off so I think were gonna go to Winchester and get all festive. Hopefully Zach will be well enough.

How's the sickness today bailey?
