Hi everybody :wave:

congrats bailey on Millie being full-term now!! Now it's time to place bets on when you're going to pop! lol I say next friday!

Hope all your guys realize how you ladies are feeling and remember how hard growin their little one is on you!

AFM, it's 12dpo and I'm unofficially out I was gonna test today because my brown cm stopped for a while yesterday, but then this morning saw it was back, but now turned more into (sorry tmi) dark brown stringy spotting. Not full red flow, so technically it's not AF, but I get this every month. The brown starts around 11dpo, then at some point within a day I'll see red! My boob soreness has decreased. yesterday my temp went down a little and the "implantation sign: triphasic pattern" note was no longer there. We did really good this month with timing, so it sucks! All other months since we were TTC we've gotten in on average probably 2 days in my fertile phase, and this time we only missed the day before O because DF wasn't feeling well.

Happy birthday DF, guess what I got you for your birthday? AF!!! boooo!

Well, if I have to find a positive note on getting AF, at least it means I won't be a day shy of 6 months pregnant on my wedding day.

If I O in 20 days from now like I figure I will, AND catch the egg (wishful thinking!) EDD would be Xmas eve

 

[baileybubs]

Aw a Christmas baby would be lovely Shellie, I'm loving your positive attitude towards it.
Happy birthday to your df!

We still need to see a pic of your dress and bridesmaids dressed Shellie! I love weddings!

 

[MrsDuck]

Thanks bailey ill give it a go, honey is my friend at the mo, but didn't think about putting it on my hair. I've already washed it today but I'll give it a go before my next wash and let you know the results xxx

 

[baileybubs]

I don't know if any of them will work mrs d! I don't know if I'd like the idea of using eggs, I'd be worried about rinsing it coz if the waters warm the egg would start to cook eeeeek!

 

[MrsDuck]

Sorry the witch got you shellie, but like bailey days I'm loving your positive attitude and a Xmas baby would be lovely. Happy birthday df xx

 

[MrsDuck]

Haha I'd end up with scrambled egg in my hair

Someone had tried honey, egg yolk and olive oil and said how lovely their hair was afterwards so I think I'll give that a go

 

[baileybubs]

You'll definately have to let me know how it goes coz I can never find a good conditioner for my hair, it's always so dry and coz my hair is so thick most conditioners make it too fly away and "poofy" lol!

 

[ShellieLabTek]

I did some kind of hair conditioning thing with egg yolk once back in high school. Don't remember what the other ingredients were, but it made my hair greasy! Maybe I just didn't rinse it properly afterwards??

OK as requested, my dress ... i may have posted it before but no worries it's been a while!

please excuse my lack of makeup and messy looking hair ... and the double chin ... that's what i look like everyday

Top two is my dress front and back. The bridemaid dresses are below, the regular version and the maternity version of the same dress for my bridesmaid who will be 8 months preggo at the wedding

The last pic of me is the second dress I tried on which I debated on between the two for a while. It's the dress my mom later went on to say maybe I should have picked just incase I did end up preggo again before the wedding lol.

I'm making an attempt at being positive. Not working entirely well. I'm still convinced I'm never gonna get pregnant again! But trying to think that it's silly, if it happened once, surely it must at some point happen again, right? We just have bad timing ... just bad timing ... i hope.

 

[AmyB1978]

Shellie, you are gorgeous! I love your dress, it flatters you perfectly. Your Mom is right, that other dress would be good if you would end up preggo for the wedding.

The bridesmaid dresses are so nice too... love the color, is that the actual color you are using? They are cute/flattering and seem like they would work on pretty much any body type (as much as a dress can!) Great job picking things out!

Sorry you are out this month But good job on the positive attitude... a BFP next cycle for a Christmas baby would be pretty cool!

 

[CherylC3]

Amy aw tht little outfit is gorgeous Hun...x

Shellie I'm so sorry the got u Hun... ur dress is so nice u are so pretty Hun.. And I love the bridesmaid dresses too..x

Tawn yeah for ur hubby cooking tonight it will give u a little break. Try and relax Hun I can't believe u were moving sofas, I'm not allowed to even carry the Hoover up the stairs...x

Mrs d I kno olive oil on its own works great as a conditioning treatment Hun a few of my clients use tht... I'm so jell I wud love to see the lion king..x

Bailey wish I had the motivation to bake... Hope ur df stops stressing u...x

Afm just back in went for lunch then to a stationary place for Leo's canvas's for his room we got paint for them then went to asda so I cud get more lemon squash 1 bottle only lasts 2 days tht and orange fanta lol I've got 3 lemon squash and 2 orangina so I'm hoping it lasts till next wk.. I get stressed when I'm running low cravings lol...x

 

[baileybubs]

Lol, I love how you have these cravings Cheryl, I've always got a bottle of orangina in too!! I don't normally like it either!! Today I have to say though I have definately wanted chocolate, not sure if that's an actual craving or just coz I'm feeling sorry for myself though lol!!

I have to say doing a bit of food shopping has made me feel better. I got a bit wound up looking at bras though. They have some nursing bras at Asda but only go up to a DD cup which I find strange coz most women's boobs grow a cup size or two during pregnancy and get massive a couple of days after birth so you'd think they would do bigger cup sizes wouldn't you?? I had to settle for some sports bras for now coz my current ones are too tight and the sports bras were the only ones they had without wires and in a bigger cup size!!!

How's everyone else's afternoon shaping up now?

Cheryl you'll have to make sure you take a pic of the canvas you make for Leo.

Tawn - glad dh is cooking for you tonight, you've been a cooking machine this week!! Not to mention all the other stuff you've done too!! I hope you have been taking it easier today! I meant to ask you, how are you getting on with getting a UK driving licence?

 

[CherylC3]

Aw I kno cravings are nuts... I'm glad ur feeling bit better Hun...aw I kno I'm a dd now and before I was pg I was only a b cup so u. Wud think they wud be bigger... Yeah il take pics once there done and I need to get a pic of the letters I got for his name. Xxxx

 

[CherylC3]

Here's his name letters

 

[Tawn]

Haha Cheryl, dh was not pleased with me at all when he found out I'd walked home and then did all that heavy cleaning he won't let me do much of anything when he's around but my policy is, as long as I don't feel tired or sore then it's good for me to be active. I always tell him, I'm pregnant not disabled!!! I figure there are women all around the world who do lots of hard work while pregnant, a few bits here and there won't hurt me!

Bailey, I've put a hold on my driving license until after Madison is born. But it is definitely on my list of first things to do this summer once things settle down. I definitely miss my independence, though! But it's funny cause when we are in the states the roles are reversed and I'm the only one who can drive so dh has to rely on me!

Shellie, so sorry af is rearing her ugly head. But your PMA is great and a Christmas baby sounds perfect!!

 

[baileybubs]

Aww they are lovely Cheryl!

Tawn - did you ever do your theory test then? I bet you hate not being able to drive. I used to always say that I wasn't bothered about not driving and people who did drive couldn't understand it, now I get why lol!! But I'm sure you'll pass so quickly anyways so it won't be long til you're behind the wheel again!

I've just had a nap again, and it's still light outside, and someone just came knocking on my door and woke me up. Which is annoying, but then they continued knocking louder which was really annoying coz clearly my bedroom curtains are shut and I just think if someone doesn't answer first time then clearly they are indisposed lol!! Or maybe I'm just cranky coz I'm pregnant and was rudely awoken lol!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Ttc im so sorry for you and DH lovely, will the hosptial be running any tests or anything?

Bailey - yep i was busy all night customizing them, bloody run out of Swarovski though so i got to wait for that order before i can finish my friends daughters, i feel so tired today, i keep panicking over stuff that i dont even know why!? xxx

I need some luck ladies! Great believer in positive thinking honest lol
Throw some baby dust my way pls x

welcome pips and good luck to you sweetie! your chart looks great!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Exhausted but wanted to update really quick. I called the dr this morning and they wanted me to come in ASAP so I nursed Emily and went in. She felt my abdomen and did an internal and confirmed it is a lot of blood. She sent me for an ultrasound to rule out anything serious and that was okay. They also did bloodwork to see if I am anemic and I should have those results this afternoon. They aren't sure what it is but unless it gets worse I don't need to call them. If I am anemic we will just deal with that. I guess it could be a period, a blood vessel internally at the suture site, or lochia but there's really no way to tell. Glad I got it checked and its nothing serious!

I'm glad you went to the doctor's...keep us posted

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Oooooh I'm a lemon!

Yay!!!
