Mid-August Testers

[InHisHands]

I'm feeling Dexter flutter today, but no hard kicks. Last night though as i woke up just enough to turn, and i felt a pop.. so i know between the flutters and the pop he's in there.. just not as active as he was a few days ago. Kicks and movement are so sporatic at this stage, there is a reason why they tell you not to start counting till later.

Anyways... i took a recent bump pic. I'll post the last one at 18 weeks and this one at 22 weeks. My hubby left me closer to when the last one took than this one, so we will see if he notices a difference when he gets home or not.

We enjoyed Pancake Day tonight. I channeled my inner Brit. I made my yummy fluffy pancake recipe and some bacon. We also used our scarlet, cobalt and ivory Fiestaware - your flag colors!

Demi also joined in the festivities.

Snow - AMAZING!!!! Loving your inner Brit, very proud of you Looks like demi enjoyed them too. I actually had bacon with my pancakes too last night as well

 

[InHisHands]

Lol snow, that's great! What did hubby think?

Bex - Love your raspberry! Have your symptoms returned/change?

 

[Srbjbex]

Hands- yes I am back now to this permanent state of queasy. I tend to be ok in the evenings, but mornings, particulalry late mornings I stuggle to eat anything. Still not actually been sick yet though. I also am having some more cramps.

I like your bump pics, I cant wait to have a bump rather than just being bloated!!!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I haven't been on in a while, I read from my phone (not very good at posting from my phone) but I have been really busy and anytime I am at home I am pretty much in bed and can't even be bothered turning the laptop on lol.

Snow - You are lucky you live so far away or I would be dog napping Demi she is so adorable.
I hope you are feeling better today hun and more positive, I really feel it wont be long before you get your BFP . Your chart is looking pretty amazing though!

Bex - Things sound like they are going really well I am so pleased for you, sorry your Ma wasn't so supportive I guess she is just worried for you.
Well done going on a hen I pretty much hibernated for the 1st 4 months lol, I am a bit of a binge drinker though so it really would have been noticeable to people if I wasn't drinking.

Lisette - I love the T-shirt and your avatar it is fab. Your scan pics are great as well and sooo pleased you results are good. Have you started buying things yet?

Hands - Your bump is looking fab and it is great you are feeling so much movement. The heartbeat sensation you where feeling last week might have been hiccups my little girl gets them all the time it is very funny to feel.

CH - Wow you passed and you so weren't confident so pleased for you, what does this mean are you going to go for a new job? How did things with the doctor go, what is the plan?

Nic - I hope you are having a fab time on hols, great time to go since it seems drinking over there has become a big no no lol.

AFM only 3 weeks left of work I am sooooo counting the day’s wee hee.

 

[InHisHands]

oh my goodness bea... less than 2 months left!!!! WOW! My husband was born at 32 weeks. Oh it seems so real that you'll get your little girl soon. You'll have to be sure to send us pictures!

 

[Srbjbex]

Snow - ive just seen your temp....exciting! when do you think you will test?

Snow - ive just seen your temp....exciting! when do you think you will test?

Yea, I was happy with that this AM. But I also noticed that I went up last month on 10dpo. If I get another steady temp tomorrow I might test but if it plummets like last month at 11dpo then I'm not going to bother. I'm not sure yet.

Hey everyone!

 

[InHisHands]

Awww snow, im sorry to see the dip.

Nic, you're an eggplant!!! Whoohoo!

Bex - Im glad you are sick again (i know it makes you feel better) and it's a good sign that the little one is thriving. Just a few more weeks till you hit 2nd tri.

 

[snowflakes120]

Hands - I've been meaning to tell you - Nice new belly pics!!

Bea - So happy to hear from ya girl. Was starting to worry about ya. Can't believe you have so little time left! Craziness!

CH - Hey girl! Glad to see you update real quick. You need to give us more details on what's going on with you!!

Bex - Hooray for queasy! That is great!

Lisette - How you feeling?

Nic- Miss ya girl!

AFM, big temp drop as I expected. Chart is pretty identical to last months. That means I should wake up with AF tomorrow AM. Another cycle down and a bust. I go to my OBGYN on Tuesday. I just have to print out my last 12 charts from FF and take my huge list of concerns with me. I am excited to see what plan of action we are going to do. I am a huge planner and need something in place and I will start to feel better. Who knew that something that is supposed like TTC that is supposed to be so happy and joyous is actually so sad and depressing??

 

[Srbjbex]

Ah snow, I'm sorry about the dip. Rubbish! However I am very excited about your obgyn appointment. I am also a planner so know exactly how you feel about needing to have a plan of action. I will be evry interested to hear what they say!!

CH - Hello!! tell us whats been happening with you? any more updates from the docs?

Hands - how are you feeling? and how is your hubby doing with the weight loss?

Bea - I cant believe how close you are - it feels like only a a short time ago that you got your BFP and started us all off! I am soooo jealous of you only having 3 weeks at work left! I am already counting down....if I am right with my dates and due 2nd October, then i would like to finish the week before the august bank holiday weekend (so prob around the 25th aug or something like that) - not that I am desparate to finish or anything - haha!

Lisette - how are things going? i cant remember have you told your work yet? I am planning on holding out until after the easter holidays before I tell anyone at work, but we will see how that one pans out!

Nic - I hope you are having a wonderful time in Egypt....but we miss you!!!

AFM...i am currently writing this on a train as I have been in London for a meeting all day. I have newfound respect for pregnant women in London because the tube makes you feel queasy, theres a lot of walking involved carrying bags, people get too close to me and there is not enough fresh air!! yesterday I rang and left a message with the midwife so I am hoping to hear soon about my booking appointment!!

hugs to you all....just because I feel like giving you all hugs

 

[NewbieLisette]

Awww thanks for the Bex...i definately feel like I need them! Been soooo sick lately! Caught H's cold he got on the cruise poor guy plus I got a nasty headache Tuesday night which made me violently ill Bleeekkk....slept most of the day off yesterday and feeling somewhat better today! I did tell my work so now I can stop trying to suck it in which is nice!

Bex hunni YAY for feeling ikky Its an awesome feeling right!

Snow keeping every little bit of me crossed for you!!!

Bea so nice to see you and OMG how soon you will have a little bundle of joy in your arms!!! WOW I haven't started buying anything yet (except H who wanted a little football winter hat that was on sale for 3$ so even though it was waayyy too big I let him get it Besides that we have incredible friends who have already stock piled stuff at our house since before being PG and now offered lost more so I need to go through what I have and then make a master list of things needed!

Hands your bump is absolutely beautiful girlie! How you been feeling today?

Nic hope you are still having a fab time!!! xxx

CH :wave:

 

[InHisHands]

I'm doing well overall. I am more hungry than i have been and have packed on a few more pounds... eek. I have also been having nightmares at night and i wake up startled and scared. Sometimes more vivid dreams isn't as great as it sounds.

Yay for no more work! I have 13 more weeks on my countdown list.

I so enjoy feeling dexter move. I google image search 22 and 24 week babies.. and its hard to believe he's that big already.

I'm not sure how much weight hubby has lost. There are no scales where he is at, but he says that his pants aren't tight anymore. About another week, and he'll be home.

 

[CHDickey]

Hey ladies. No updates. Just working. DH has an appointment with urologist on march 13th, so hopefully we will move forward from there!! Other than that NTNP. Just being us. My 28th bday is Saturday. Plan on celebrating the whole weekend!

 

[InHisHands]

Happy Birthday CH!!!!!!!! My 28th is in July, so we aren't too far apart. Probably graduated the same year. I hope all goes well on the 13th!

 

[snowflakes120]

Hey girls. I don't know what to think today. So my temp went up to 97.65. I didn't enter it in FF bc it just seems weird. And it was very warm yesterday. It is supposed to go down and I am supposed to get AF today. She should have been here when I woke up - I totally had cramps and my backache when I woke up. But nothing nada nowhere. I am still getting a good deal of creamy CM. I don't know where my AF is. I did a test this AM and it was BFN. Ugh! I need her to be here today so I can go to my appt on Tuesday. If she comes later then I can't go. I am so annoyed. I have been awaiting this appt for weeks now! The only time I want her to be here on time - she doesn't show. WTF!

 

[Srbjbex]

Aw Snow - our bodies are very cruel sometimes. I dont know what to suggest. I guess its just going to be a patience game on this one...remember Hands and Nic and their squiffy cycle? Maybe it was IB earlier this week, and you have a lengthened LP? Or maybe not. I'm sorry hun that its making you stressed. I think you should put the temp in FF though.

 

[Srbjbex]

Oh and in case I dont get chance to post tomorrow - HAPPY BIRTHDAY CH!!!! I am 28 too (29 in November) didnt realise we were all so close in age!

Hope you have a lovely lovely day!!
