Bedtime finally!!

 

[baileybubs]

Aw get some rest cupcake! I bet you are so happy to get in bed! I think I'm off to bed myself soon, I was hoping df would be back by now, but he's not and I can't be bothered waiting up to see him lol

Morning Ladies!

Cath, not to worry! That is totally normal for my OPKs! I had a progression of darkness up till O and then it came down the same way. But now that it is neg that means you have already O'd anyway, and the fact you didn't get spermies last night doesn't mean anything because they wouldn't have been able to fertilize an egg anyway (remember it takes 10 hours or something like that for them to acclimate in order to be ready for the egg). On that chart, bd 1, 2 or 3 days BEFORE o is the highest likelihood and you did it perfectly! Believe me, you are in with the best shot possible hun!

Cheryl, funny cravings!!! You know, one of my weirdest cravings this pregnancy has been cheesy puff crisp thingys (the cheap store brand kind!!) SOOOO unhealthy and I don't know why I want them cause I don't ever eat them in real life, but every once in a while I HAVE to have a bag! LOL!

Bailey, you are lucky DF will watch that show with you! My DH would rather die than watch it with me, which is really annoying because I danced my whole life (ballet tap and jazz when young and then I was captain of my dance team when we got 3rd in State, LOL!!) so I LOVE it but never get a chance to watch it on my own!

Cupcake, I can't believe how much of a wiggler your bubba is already! I can't remember if Madison was squirmy at that time, but I do remember being surprised how low down she was (almost by my bikini line!). So glad you and your DH get to share that magic of listening to the choo-choo train that is your baby's heartbeat!

MrsD, you've been quiet this weekend! Hope that means that you and hubby are having a great time!

Amy, how you been feeling lately hun? Has your DH been helping more over the weekend to give you a break?

AFM, I know it sounds childish but I got upset at my DH this week about Mother's Day. Stepson's grandparents called earlier this week asking if he could go round theirs for a few hours today (Mother's Day) to celebrate with his Grandma and they just wanted to make sure we didn't have any special plans. So I called DH that night, I think it was Thursday? and asked him if we were doing anything Sunday as it was Mother's Day and he was like "Nope! He can go to theirs if they want!" And then followed it up with "Well, I guess you are almost a mum so if you want to do dinner or something we could"......................

Hormones RAGING I almost hung up on him. I know I am "almost" a mum to Madison, but for the last 11 months, I have bathed, fed, cuddled, done homework, dried tears, packed lunches, celebrated milestones and holidays and put to bed every night my stepson, but it didn't even occur to him I was thinking more of SS than baby when referring to this mother's day! He is usually SO sweet and sensitive, but I was totally F'd off! He then went on to mention that we will take SS out to get a card or something for his bio mum.......the woman who can sometimes be arsed to see him 2 hours a week. UMMMMM yea insert tantrum here.

But he understood after I explained to him how freaking thankless and f'd up being a stepparent can be sometimes because "I'm not his mum" I just play the role etc etc and then I woke up this morning to a sweet card and present from stepson. Guess DH got the message but seriously, you would think I wouldn't have to s-p-e-l-l it out for him hahahahahhahahaha.

Hope you are all enjoying your celebrations today!

OMG Tawn, i would have been SO p'd off!! You had every right to go psycho on that. Sometimes men just don't think!!! They definitely got the dumb gene!

Why don't you google 8 week scan images, then you'll know what to expect. It will look baby like but the head and body are about the same size, and you won't see arms or legs yet, just little nubs.

So excited for you. Are you still sick?

Yeah, i googled it today and wow, it's actually pretty cool and almost baby-like. So now i'm excited and hoping i see that on my screen!

Not sick sick, just still feeling blah...and SOOOOOOO tired!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

I think that's what I'm feeling, it's definately in my uterus where I hear the hb on the Doppler, and there wouldn't be intestine gas there would there? So I'm sticking with its baby!

yeah, i'm sure it's baby!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Thanks TTCbabyisom! How you feeling hun? NOT LONG till your scan! So excited for you!

Bailey, YAY for new sofas!!!!! Sorry DF is out again, but maybe you need some quiet time anyway after such a busy day? I have a strong feeling you won't make 40 weeks if you are having this much going on already!!! BTW, the stuff your MIL says is so over the top! Babies cluster feed in the evenings, so I'm sure it would be handy to have meals ready to go when you have no hands for 2 hours cause baby is on the boob! Silly lady!

Cheryl, your room will be gorgeous! I love the blue, it is so bright and happy! Hope you manage to stay awake during your class tonight hun!

Cupcake, I hope I didn't put you off your doppler! I still used it even after that thread scared me, but I just regretted sitting there listening for 5-10 mins glowing over bubba's heartbeat lol. I was VERY excessive!

Cath, symptoms symptoms symptoms! I can't wait for them to keep rolling in!

MrsD, you've been quiet, hope you are feeling OK!!!

Amy, how you feeling today hun? Is Emily settling into a routine?

Everyone else HIIII!

Our class was pretty useless tbh! LOL. I already knew all of it because of research on my own and all the post-birth taking care of baby stuff was also useless because I nannied and worked in nurseries for almost 10 years! But oh well, it is a right of passage I suppose and it did make me feel closer to the finish line!

I am pretty proud of my food progress tonight, I made homemade lasagna tonight and managed to make 2 more spare for the freezer as well as prepping and marinading two chicken dishes and getting them into the freezer all ready to go as well. More to come throughout the week, so hopefully we will be nice and stocked up soon

But now I am absolutely shattered, so I will be getting stepson into the shower and ready for bed and then pretty much crashing myself. So goodnight to all you lovelies and I shall catch up with you again in the morning!

feeling just fine...a little blah and still SOOOOO tired but no other symptoms. I seem flatter today at times, less bloated i guess so hopefully everything is still ok in there. Once 8 a.m. gets here tomorrow, it will be just 24 hours before I see baby, possibly babies!

Wow, all your cooking sounds fab and i'm sure DH will be very appreciative. That's a really good idea!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Whew! Finally caught up!!! That took awhile...

 

[MrsDuck]

Lovely bump pic bailey I reckon Millie will be here by the end of the month xx

Hubby is staying with me, luckily we knew the airport at home was closed so didn't bother going to the airport.

I'm off to bed too, I'll have a proper catch up tomorrow.

Night night xxx

 

[cupcake1981]

Where is everyone today?

I had the best sleep last night, light out at 9:15, woke up at 6:30 then dozed until 8 (late up as I had the dentist). Feel good today other than wondering when this worry is ever gonna stop!

What's everyone up to?

 

[CherylC3]

Hey missy glad u slept well. Try and enjoy it Hun I kno it's hard but when I fell pg this time when I got to about 11 wks I thot this is a new pregnancy and deserves the excitement I had with my 1st pregnancy and told myself I will not worry unless I see blood.

Well I'm getting my first payment on Friday for my mat allowance so happy..x

 

[Tawn]

I know, it's been a quiet morning here on the Lucky Thread!

I have just been working away this morning, trying to get ahead still so I can have a few weeks off in April for baby.

Cupcake, the worry NEVER goes away completely! But once you feel that first unexpected thud of a kick and then start to feel something distinct every day it does get a lot easier. Remember and have faith that the chances of anything going wrong now are something so miniscule like 1%

And at long last, that bump pic I promised lol. I don't have a full-length mirror in the house cause it broke during the move and we never replaced it, but here is the best I could get with the mirror in our bedroom. Looking well huge for 8months, but I guess that comes with the territory of being a big more curvy to start with!

[Tawn]

JEEZE!! Why do my pictures always turn out so big!?!? LOL I tried sizing it down in photobucket and it obvs did nothing

 

[CherylC3]

Aw great bump pic Tawn and yeh for 34 wks

 

[Dani Rose]

Love it Tawn.

Cupcake I can't comment much right now as I never imagined this to happen but I had 2 "normal" pregnancies. Each one is so unique. Enjoy what you can hun

 

[baileybubs]

Awww lovely bump pic Tawn!! My pics come up even bigger Tawn I wouldn't worry, I have no idea how to make them smaller lol!

I agree with the other ladies cupcake, there is such a minuscule chance of things not working out now, enjoy that little baby coz he or she is your rainbow! Although the worry does never go away lol, I woke up this morning and lay in bed thinking about waking up and after a while I realised I hadn't felt her move at all (which is unusual now coz she's so big!). So I jiggled my bump and tapped it and she suddenly moved in a way as if to say "what?? Why are you waking me up mummy?!" Lol.
I don't think I have ever appreciated the worry and stress my mum has been through with me and my brother until when I got pregnant! From the second you see that BFP that's it, a lifetime of worry! But so worth it!

 

[baileybubs]

Hi dani, how are you feeling today?

 

[Dani Rose]

I think for me the worry is less once they are here. I didn't worry at all pg with leila or after. Oh to be young and naive again!

I'm ok bailey. Feel much better after ydays chat with the dr. There is still the not knowing but I really hope we can do another 4 weeks at least and babies be ok

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah hopefully they can stay snuggled safely with mummy for as long as possible. Are they ok in there then with the ruptured sacs? It's a horrible waiting game, but for every day those odds are getting better and better Hun xxx

 

[cathgibbs]

Dani I think you will reach 28 weeks hun,i got a gut feeling and i think everything will be ok once their here, I loled at your romantic dinner Sat night. bless. it was sweet!

Tawn! LOVE your pic hun xxx
