Nic - I think what makes me sad is that i dreamed that it was a mistake and that my daddy didn't die and i get to hear his voice on the phone, or i'll see him and can actually touch him and feel the warmth of his skin... and then i wake up and its just not real. I think its my brains way of trying to work out the loss... but it makes me very sad. It's like having to deal with the news that he's gone all over again.

Does anyone else able to feel hot and cold in dreams? I have noticed this throughout my pregnancy.. though don't have it every night. But i'll go to touch something in a dream to see if its real and depending on what it is... i can feel warmth and cold. It's weird.

Of course i also have dreams where everyone is zombies and my baby is one and eats his or her way out of me ROTFL -- that must be a fear of child birth type dream LOL *shivers*

I've always been a vivid dreamer, and with pregnancy it is just taking the dreams over the top.


Happy Christmas Eve everyone!!!! Hope everyone has a blessedd Christmas.

Hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas eve! The meal with the in laws went down really well, I am very very full now!!!

Snow - your temps are looking fabulous!! Thinking lots of warm thoughts for you. I had a big temp drop this morning, making me more convinced that AF will arrive tomorrow, but I don't care, it's Christmas!!!

CH - hope you're having lots of skiing fun! ( I have never been skiing! )

Hands - I always have very strange dreams too, very random and very detailed....they are going to be awful when I am pg!

Lisette - did you do anything fun on Christmas Eve?

Nic - I am glad you are getting your relaxing Christmas this year with your mum...just think next year you will have a little one to deal with as well!

Bea - hope you are having fabulous Christmas fun!

Xxxx

Hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas Eve / Christmas night sleep. I will pop on again when I wake up. Just wanted to quickly say that Hands - I think your Dad is in your dreams because he belongs in your heart. Your dreams are your way of making sure he stays as close to you as possible. He is in you and your little one. When someone leaves us I like to believe it's not for forever - it's a 'see you later'. You probably think I'm nuts now, but I truly believe that our loved ones live on in our decisions and our memories. I really hope that your dreams become easier Hands. Xx

Merry Christmas everyone! I can't wait to see if Father Christmas got my letter about three BFPs I've been looking for. I especially feel that it would just make sense for Snow to get a wintery BFP! Love to you all xxx

Merry Christmas!! We are currently in a hotel in Amarillo, TX. We did 12 hours of driving today and will have another 12 to our cabin outside of Aspen, CO! There are 11 of us and we are so far having fun! I am feeling good, pretty much normal, just ready to know if AF is going to show... I should know by Wednesday if she is going to show since I normally spot 2 days prior to AF!!

Sounds like everyone is having a great Christmas do far!! Do enjoy all the time with your loved ones!!!

Once I get to CO I will be checking in periodically!

 

[NotNic]

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope today is extra special for you all! Much love. Nx

 

[Srbjbex]

MERRY CHRISTMAS CH, NIC, BEA, SNOW, LISETTE and HANDS!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful day, lots of good food and good company!

P.s. BFN for me this morning, I know AF is on her way, but I really couldn't care at all today

 

[InHisHands]

Merry Christmas!!!!

Shall be a great day. My mother will be coming over any minute and daughter is in the bathroom, hopefully putting on clothes and deoderant LOL

Then it's off to the BIG scavenger hunt for us. We've been sneaking around last night and this morning, hiding them from each other. ---hubby and i do kids and guests together, but we do ours seperately so i dont know what or where mine are and he doesnt know what or where his is. This year my cards are colored neon orange. Hope i can find them

BTW - friday i had to go to goodwill and buy maternity shirts. No hiding this pregnancy for me anymore. Baby definately gave me a hard bump for Christmas. I'll have to post a picture soon. I can't quite tell yet as your uterus keeps going up ... but i think im carrying low.

[NewbieLisette]

Bex hunni

Like you say onwards January! great big New Years BFP sweetie! Lots of love your way!

How's everyone feeling today? I'm back at work and ready for a nap already! LOL Feeling kinda sick too which I'm really happy about and got my second bloodwork results back and I think they are good....FX the Dr says soo via email soon! Last week at 13DPO my hgc was 46 and yesterday at 20DPO it came in at 917 so for doubling I think I'm doing good! Now if I can just quit my brain and stop worrying at nights I'd be all set!

Hope you guys are all having wonderful time off with your loved ones

 

[NotNic]

Aw Bex sorry to hear that. Really hope that you have an excellent New Year's Eve and let your hair down. I will allow you to have my champagne share - and I don't normally share that with anyone!

Nothing really new here. Bump is starting to show just a tad, though my SIL said I was the least pregnant looking pregnant lady she'd ever seen! I do feel a bit self-concious about my bump though. Hopefully I'll relax when everyone knows but at the moment I mostly feel square. I used to have a real hour glass figure and now I am straight and as wide as my hips I thought by now I'd be embracing it. I guess if it was bigger and not a secret at work I'd be singing it from the rooftops.

Back at work today and I was exhausted. I came home early and went to bed at 5.30pm and didn't get up until 9pm!

How's everyone else doing? Lisette those numbers are looking good!! Keep us psted with the next ones. xx

 

[InHisHands]

i'm doing well overall. I hope everyone's Christmas went well. Waiting to hear from Snow and CH for updates. Fingers crossed!


Since Christmas i have been experiencing sharp stabbing pains in my lower abdomen... they only last for a second and i notice them when im getting up and down.

They sound like classical Round Ligament Pains.. but i have an appointment tomorrow and will bring it up then.

 

[snowflakes120]

Hey girls just checking in with y'all. Hope everyone had a grand Christmas!

Hands - Ouch! Sounds painful! Hope you feel better soon or see what the Dr. has to say.

Nic - You will have to post a bump pic soon! Sounds like you were extra tired and really needed that nap!

Lisette - You numbers sound excellent. I am so happy for you! Did your 2ww symptoms seem to be the same as your last pregnancy or completely different?

Bex - Sorry about AF! Onwards and upwards!

CH - Any spotting? Today is Wednesday! Dying to hear from our little snow bunny!! I'm sure your having a blast!

Hey Mrs Bea!!

AFM, Temps are bit up and down. Not really thinking this is our month. Don't have any symptoms at all except more CM than usual. Think I'm going to test New Year Eve (Sat) so I see if I can a few drinks that night.

Now for vacation. We are having lots of fun and been plenty busy. Going to Niagara Falls, Canada tomorrow to do some touristy stuff and maybe some ice skating if I am feeling up to it. I took a pretty hard fall tonight on some ice on my aunt's walk way and my hip is killing me. Also we are going to do some gambling at the Casino. For New Years we are going to a hockey game to root for our favorite team and then out to a friends house for a party. Yesterday we went and saw the Tran Siberian Orchestra which was really awesome! I also got to visit a childhood friend's baby today - he's about a week old - so precious!! All in all - it's been nice being home with my parents and visiting with family. But it's sooooo cold here (but not as cold as you Lisette - I have been to Montreal in the winter and it is reallllly cold!!!) - I forgot what it was like to live in this frigid weather!!

 

[NewbieLisette]

Hey girlies :wave:

Just wanted to pop by and see how everyone was doing! New Years plans you guys?

Snow & CH I am praying for some happy BFP New Years news up in here

It is -30 Celcious in Montreal today!!!!! bbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrr - Stay warm you guys

 

[NotNic]

-30c doesn't even seem human Lisette! We have had quite a mild winter so far and I think I've only seen it drop below 0 once or twice. Though I am just south of London so it is relatively warm in comparison to elsewhere in the UK.

Hands - that really does sound like ligament pains to me. I had them around 8 weeks and again between 10 and 12 weeks. I now feel like my stomach muscle is tight but the girls in 2nd Tri reckon it's more stretching again. I guess our muscles have a lot of work to do to allow for baby.

Snow - I am almost embarrassed to call it a bump, but if I am feeling more round tomorrow I will get hubby to take a pic. Good luck for Saturday. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. How many dpo will you be then?

AFM - I have had some very exciting news. I can't remember if I mentioned it on this thread or not, but I was very nervous about telling a friend of mine who found out her baby had died at her 20 week scan. I had been emailing her about meeting up for a while and hadn't heard anything. I decided to tell her by email her as we have begun telling other friends and didn't want them to find out secondhand. I got an email back today telling me that she is very pleased for me and that she is pregnant again too! She is just two weeks behind me!! Obviously she is very cautious and isn't mentioning anything outside of immediate family and close friends until her 20 week scan, but now I know why she was avoiding my dinner requests!! So very pleased for her! Our babies could end up just days apart!

Hope everyone else is doing well. I am going to a family party at New Years but it should be relatively tame. How about everyone else?

 

[InHisHands]

Snow - Sounds like a good plan!

Nic - YAY!!! How exciting. What is her due date? Sounds like she and I might be close.

Lisette - Has it sunk in yet?

Bea - How have you been doing?

AFM - Doctors agree it is Round Ligament Pains. I am relieved that it is just that and nothing wrong. I got to hear the heartbeat today. A strong thumping 156 bpm.

I recieved my flu shot, and go in again in 1-2 weeks for my Quad testing and my CF testing. Then i go in on Feb 1st for my next routine appointment, and after that... around Feb 10th... will be my gender ultra sound. YAY... so many things to look forward to.

As far as New Years Eve plans... i'll either stay home with hubby, see a movie, or play board and card games with friends. Havent decided yet.

 

[NotNic]

Woo hoo Hands! Sounds like a great appointment and baby's heartbeat is nice and fast. Such a relief when you hear that - though very surreal! And you're an orange today!! You would be very close to her as her DD is the 19th June. Do you guys get cystic fibrosis testing as standard? We only get genetic testing here if we are aware of a family history. Hope they all go well for you. xx

Now just for Snow, I am going to try to post a pic of my bumpette. Here goes:
