Mid-August Testers

[MrsBea23]

Oh Bex I am so sorry you are having a bad day hun, I can't even imagine how hard that must be. Your chart is looking good though and I am sending soo much dust your way you will be covered in it.

 

[InHisHands]

Bex - you'll get your sticky bean!!! Chin up!

Bea - as far as i know its 20 weeks. I'll find out more info when i go in next week. I saw that there is an option for a first tri scan to check for disabilities, but im not sure if that option is covered by my government insurance. If it's not .. then we won't be having it. I dont realy want to scan to check for disabilities.. i just want to see my baby lol

Right now my 12 year old step daughter has given us her christmas list... that consist of 2 things. Neither are we willing to buy her because they are items we don't approve of and she should know better than to ask. Sighs... what to do, what to do. A part of me wants to just tell her to come up with some other things she likes, or it will be one uneventful Christmas.

 

[MrsBea23]

Hmmm hands that is a tough one do you think she is doing it for a reaction maybe? I would go back and say that you don't think those gfts are appropriate and if she doesn't have any other ideas you will get her a surprise.

Hi girls. I'm a bit late in coming in for the day.

It's been a busy day. I baked an apple and pumpkin pie. Made cranberry sauce, squash, mashed potatoes, applesauce and yams. I have made everything by scatch and has taken all day! I also cut up a ton of celery and onions to get it ready to make the stuffing tomorrow. I still have to make green bean casserole, rolls, gravy and the turkey tomorrow. Yea!! We are having a total of 6 people for dinner. Should be yummy.

Today was an ok day. A friend had her baby this afternoon. She was born right on her due date! I am excited but so very jealous at the same time. Her baby was a surprise baby - as in not planned for at all. I am just really hoping to be able to bring home a LO in 2012.

Hands - I would ignore her requests and give her other things that you do approve of.

Bex - Your chart is looking really good with your raise today. FX. Sounds like we both had lousy days. I had to hear about all my hubby's cousin's babies from my MIL today. 2 have been born recently and another cousin has one on the way and due in Dec. Awesome.

CH - I can't wait to see your letters! I want to do letters in the nursery! I love pinterest as well. I have a ton of recipes on mine and other various things!

Bea - Yea a mango! I am short too at only 5'1" - I was thinking in your picture that you looked tall!

Nic - Glad to hear your co-worker was awesome about your secret.

Happy Thanksgiving Hands, CH and Snow!!! Hope you have a wonderful day

P.S I'm feeling much better today after my low day yesterday, helped a lot by you guys and a huge temp rise this morning!! x

 

[NotNic]

Happy Thanksgiving ladies!

Woop woop for the rise Bex! I really can't wait for next week! I have a good feeling.x

Snow - sorry to hear that yesterday was a toughie. I bet you mashed potato has never been so smooth! Enjoy today. It sounds like you're the perfect host.

Hands - I agree with the other ladies. Get her to rethink her ideas or just buy her something you want to get her. I try not to buy my nephews and nieces what they ask for. All the plastic and nylon offends me! I swear that I will only be buying my children traditional, tasteful or educational gifts. I'll put everything else in the loft like my mum did!

Today I am so tired. I had a really bad case of heartburn last night and I couldn't get comfortable. I'm seriously unattractive right now. This baby better come out a beauty to compensate for the money I'm wasting on make up. I'm beyond help!

Have a great day!

Xxx

Ps I'm another shortie - just 5ft3 myself! X

 

[CHDickey]

Happy Thanksgiving to you all as well! May you have a fabulous day with all your family and friends!! (whether you celebrate or not )

 

[snowflakes120]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING GIRLS!! I am thankful for all of you!

OMG Bex! Looking good girl! I have a feeling for you! Temps going up when usually it would be going down is awesome!

Nic - I am so a makeup junkie! I hope you get to use your makeup! Get some sleep girl!

AFM, I got a huge temp drop today! I am sooooo happy! I really can't wait to get started again!

Time to get back to guests and food! Have a great day girlies!

 

[NotNic]

Thank you for checking in lovelies! I'm very thankful for all you guys too! xxx

 

[MrsBea23]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

CH - If you have Turkey for Thanksgiving what do you have for Christmas? I hope you had a fab day.

Bex - Yay for the temp rise wee hee, when are you going to test? So exciting.

Snow & Nic - yay for shorties he he.

Snow - Really pleased you had a drop hopefully that means all of the HCG is out of your system, do you get tested again? So lovely of you to think of us today when you are so busy, I hope your meal went down a treat. I love makeup as well I am a bare minerals girl for foundation but I love love bright eyes and a neutral lip. Bella Pierre is my eyeshadow of choice at the moment but I do love MAC and Urban Decay as well.

Nic - I look a mess as well my chin looks like I have stubble rash it is constantly red and angry and I have marks from squeezing spots (I know I know) and then the lines in my firehead have become more like canyons! It is going to be a lot of work to sort htis ouyt after the baby is born lol.

Hands - Hope you have had a nice day with the family.

Bex & Nic - What do you think of this desperate scouse wives show that is coming on? Another TOWIE in the making or just trash TV, I will have to watch the 1st one just to check it out he he.

 

[NotNic]

I was so not interested in Desperate Scousewives... until I saw the trailer! I think it might be a good one. It might just help fill the TOWIE gap! Have you watched Made in Chelsea? I'm really not keen. I work with enough Hooray Henrys and Yah Yah Yasmins. I have been to a few parties in my time when all the boys droll over the skinniest, poshest girl in the room and it's very dull!

I'm a massive eye make up girl myself. I love a smoky eye and lots of eyeliner. I'm only just getting into lipstick, but I'm normally a pretty neutral lip kind of girl. I always used to get my eye lashes and eye brows tinted and had facials. Now I don't feel so queasy I think I might book a pampering session in. At the moment I have quite shiny, greasy skin (which is unusual for me) and big stubborn spots all along my jaw and neck. I also have huge bags and watery eyes from the lack of sleep. My hair is growing like nobody's business, but it's lank and frizzy. I also have rubbish finger nails that keep breaking, and (sorry for tmi) I'm convinced I'm getting a hairy tummy. If I didn't know I was having one baby, I'd swear that I was having one girl twin and one boy twin, because at the moment the old wives tales would say I was expecting both!

 

[InHisHands]

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I wear makeup, but never real thick. Sounds like you all had pretty nice days with food, temps, and etc.

Our brand new car is leaking oil to the point that there is none left in it *scratches head* That is what warranties are for. Our car has less than 10,000 miles on it. Someone is gonna fix it and the bill isn't gonna be sent to me LOL *sighs* Not really wanting to deal with this, but i suppose it will only take a phone call or two and a few hours in the shop and it will be all said and done. deep breath.

Conflicting news from me today...

On one hand another lovely temp rise, on the other hand, I tested this morning and got I know it's prob a bit early, but was with a frer so was expecting to see something.

Plus my boobs feel a lot more tender which for me normally means AF is just around the corner!

But I have the day off work today, and going to watch the tennis at the O2. exciting!

So I am not going to test again until at least Monday which is the day AF is due!

Won't be online for a couple of days so I'll catch up with you all on Sunday!

Much love x

Hi Girls,

I am off to st Andrews this weekend so won't be around much either.

Bex - I tested at 9dpo and got a BFN and tested again at 13 dpo because I had a temp rise and got my BFP so you are not out yet. and remember even if you don't get you BFP this month you know it can happen and it will happen soon. I am still sending loads of dust your way.
Oooh the tennis how exciting DH actually said to me last night he whishes we where there the courts look awsome. We where at the Australian Open in January it is such a good day out.

Nic - I have all of that my hair is a disaster soo long and ratty I really need to go and get it cut and my skin is hideous as for my tummy urgh I am veeting it but it comes up so high it is horrendous luckily DH has never been a big one on noticeing those sorts of things so it is not to bad.
I think we will have to watch a few of the episodes to see what we think gotta love trash TV. I am not likeing the look of the Amy Childs show that is coming on though I might give that a miss.

Hands - That is a shame about the car but definitely better to happen when under warranty.

Snow and CH have a fab weekend girls.

 

[CHDickey]

Bex- dont get down on yourself. It is still early!! What day did you confirm O on?

Bea- have a lovely weekend!! I plan on doing a whole lot of nothing after today.

AFM (now that I know what it means)- I have the worst acne ever!!! I have never had a clear complection, but it normally doesn't get bad until a few days prior to AF. I have had pimples this whole cycle....ugh!!

 

[NotNic]

Bea and Bex - have wonderful weekends away!

Bex - Even with a FRER I think you've tested early. You need at least 3 days after implantation to Stand a chance of having a reading, and even then only half of testers get a BFP this early. Your temps still sound great so keep positive. I got my bfp on what working backwards would have been 13 dpo on a superdrug digital. Good luck for Monday. x

Snow, Hands and CH - hope you've recovered from yesterday. Hands - did you tell anyone else?

 

[snowflakes120]

Hey girlies - Hope you all have a great weekends away!

Bea - I wear MAC foundation and powder. All of my eye shadows are either Urban Decay or Mac and a few Clinique colors as well. I too like an eye lots of dark color with depth and eyeliner and a nude gloss lips. It seems to look best on me - I have blonde hair and brown eyes. Makeup, nail polish and pajamas are my guilty pleasures...

CH - My face is a bit of a disaster as well. I think it is from my hormones going up and down and all over the place. My blemishes are mostly contained near my chin - thank god for concealer.

Nic - I think I need to move to England just for the TV! I looked up the trailer for Desperate Scouswives and would totally love that too.

Hands - Car issues suck! So glad that it is still under warranty and your able to get it done up properly!! Congrats on the baby looking like a rock instead of a fruit???!!!

Bex - Temps looking great still. Keep that PMA up. I too think it's still too early. According to a chart I have saved it says at 10dpo only 35% of woman get a +. So 9dpo would be even lower.

AFM, Dinner turned out wonderful if I do say so myself. After we went to a friends house for a little fire outside and some S'mores.

We did a little bit of Black Friday shopping today. I got some beautiful boots, a new shirt and some new Fiestawear pieces for my ever expanding collection.

My temp raised a teeny bit this AM so whatever. We will see. I guess I can classify us as NTNP as we had another opps this morning. Oh well. I feel better about it this time though. I am quite confused as the last time I talked to my OGBYN she said to just come in this Monday at anytime (don't need appt) for lab work to check my HCG again. However, I got a message on my phone today confirming an appt to see her at 1:30 on Monday - I have no idea why I supposed to see her and what we going to go over as we didn't discuss an appt the last time - I feel everything is already been done and said. I don't know what to do as the office was closed today for the holiday to ask questions. I think I am just going to go to the appt and see what it is all about. I just have a feeling it was a mistake...

 

[CHDickey]

Snow- yeah I would totally go to the appointment just to see what it's about. My break out is everywhere: chin, cheeks, arms, and back!! Ugh!

 

[InHisHands]

Bea, Bex - have fun on your trips!!!

Snow -let us know what the doc has to say. BTW i went black friday shopping as well. We bought a printer, a tv series that i really wanted, and a dvd. Great prices... wish they were those prices all year long.

CH - i have zits too... its just a normal process of life i think, though it does stink.

Nic - You're going to get your first scan this week right? -- Must post pic or you'll be kicked out of the tribe!!! teehee

AFM - Car is fixed and back home, we are very open about the pregnancy now and are telling people as we run into them. Basically i just have work and church left. Feels good not keeping it a secret anylonger.. and i dont have to try to hide my bloated belly... LOL I just let it hang out there now.

Feeling icky today .. mix between dehydrated and car sick.. im sure its just hormones and m/s creeping up. So im drinking water and taking it easy.

 

[MrsBea23]

Hi Girls,

I am back had a lovely weekend with loads of yummy food.

I hope everyone else has had a nice weekend.

Snow - OMG pajamas are my most favourite thing in the world I must have about 15 pairs lol I love them. I am glad your dinner turned out so well. Good luck at your app, maybe it is just to see how you are feeling.

Nic - How are you getting on with the house hunting?

Hands - I got a madela swing breast pump on amazon in the black friday sales so pretty happy with that. Its my 1st baby purchase DH says I shouldn't buy anything until after the 20 week scan but oh well.

Bex - hope you had a nice weekend away.

CH - How was your weekend hun. When is Af due for you? all that acne sounds a bit suspect lol.
