Mid-August Testers

[CHDickey]

Hey ladies!!! Had a great weekend!! Got all my nieces and nephews Christmas gifts yesterday. Had a blast with my DH and sister. I am not much of a shopper so the fact I shopped for 6 hours was unbelievable.

As far as PJs go, I am totally a fan too. Nothing is better then being comfy!

Bea- I would have totally scooped up that breast pump! They are super pricy. My sister has one so I will get a new set for myself but use her motor and such!

AFM- AF isn't due until December 4th so another week! oh well closer to trying! I hope y'all have a relaxing day before the start of the work week!

Evening ladies! I had a lovely weekend away thanks, the tennis was excellent, and just settling in to watch the final on the tv now

No sign of AF yet, but a HUGE temp drop yesterday has started to make me think she is just around the corner. Another bfn too today (although that was on IC) so we shall see! And in boob watch, they are killing me today!! Haha!

Bea - glad you had a lovely weekend too!

Snow - Hope everything goes ok with your appt tomorrow! I'm sure all is good!

Hands - so exciting that you are starting to tell people, I bet you are on cloud 9 at the moment!

CH - sounds like you have had a really productive shopping weekend!

Nic - hi!

 

[MrsBea23]

CH - That is a long time shopping glad you enjoyed it and got lots of pressies. I got my pump for 65 instrad of 100 (pounds that is my netbook is set funny so I can't figure out which button is pounds lol).
I really hope the time passes by quickly for you hun, you never know you migh have an accident and might not have to wait he he.

Bex - So glad you had a nice weekend. Bummer that your temp has dropped hopefully it will go back up even higher in a day or so, I am still sending lots of dust around for you.

Here are some photos of different things I have done for friends and families nurseries.

Oh and BTW I have had the WORST back pain EVER yesterday and today. i am totally planning on sleeping with a heating pad. I guess the 2 days of cooking and day of shopping has worn me out. Oh well, back to work for 3 weeks and then off for 2. I am super excited about the holiday. We are going skiing in Aspen and it is my DH's first time ever to ski....cannot wait!

 

[CHDickey]

Just change my signature....loving having a computer back and running! I will leave you all alone. Have a fabulous work week and even better beginning to December!

 

[Srbjbex]

Morning ladies, I'm feeling really really down today.

After another temp drop this morning, and AF style cramps, I am fully expecting the to arrive today. So much so that I am wearing a pad in anticipation.

I hate this emotional rollercoaster, this once-a-month feeling, of feeling like it will never happen, that I am really inadequate. Husband doent really know what to say to make me feel better when I am like this, bless him.

I need Christmas to come soon. I need a break from work.

 

[CHDickey]

Bex- sending hugs your way!! Much love sweetie!

 

[InHisHands]

CH - they are beautiful. Nice work!

Bex - Hang in there sweetie. You know you can get pregnant.. so it really is just a matter of time. It will happen again sweetie. It's hard to take those words to heart when you are on the other end... but try to take a deep breath. Take your day of mourning, and then dust yourself off and get ready to jump your hubby again ..teehee.

 

[snowflakes120]

Bex - Lots of hugs are being sent your way hun. I know how you feel. I am not having a good day either. Wish you lived closer so we could meet for a cup of coffee or a big ice cream cone! Or go to a restaurant and have an all out pig fest!

CH - LOVE the letters! Way too cute and you are talented girl!

Bea - You got yourself a great deal on the pump!

Hands - Hooray for no more secrets!

Nic- Hey girl!

AFM, I'm a bit of a downer today. I had a hard decision to make that I didn't like yesterday. I had my OV pain last night knowing that I was most likely OVing - but didn't know whether to jump for it or hold back. In the end, we didn't BD. It is hard knowing that I shouldn't do anything about it but knowing it was happening. I mean we could still have something happen as we did BD on Friday AM. I had a temp raise today to confirm my suspension - we'll see how the next few days go. I am trying to shake myself out of this bad funk that I am in! I guess I should at least be happy that I OV'd on CD19 and my cycle won't be too long. I usually OV between CD13-CD16. So it really wasn't pushed back all that far... I guess that also means that my HCG is pretty much out of my system.

My appt is at 1:30 - I will update what she wanted to see about when I get back. I just know that I will have blood work done.

 

[MrsBea23]

CH - They are fab I am so impressed. When you are off on maternity you can make things and sell them they are definitely good enough.

Bex - I am so sorry hun . I really hope you feel better soon and I really really hope you get your BFP asap.

Snow - I can only imagine how frustrating that must be. That is great news that you o'd so quickly though. Just think this time next month you will be well on your way to your BFP.

Nic - Desperate Scousewives starts tonight he he. I am shattered so not sure if I will be able to stay up that late but I will get it on catchup tomorrow.

Hands -

And to top my day off even better - I just sat in the waiting room at the Dr. office for over an hour when alls I had to do was get that stupid bloodwork like I thought. The stupid receptionist didn't tell me even after I told her when I 1st came in that I thought that was alls I needed was the bloodwork.

And then since my dr.'s office is near the hospital and has a parking deck you need to get a paper slip stamped so that you don't have to pay $2 to park. Of course, I forget my stupid slip in the car and don't get it stamped. So then I stamp the Dr.'s business card and lost it and held up the line to get out. I told the guy I didn't have cash or the slip and he tells me to be more careful next time and remember it! As I was getting out of my car to go back to work - there it was in between my seats. I had a nice scream!

It is so not my day. Sorry for the rant. UUUUGGGHHHHH!!! I can't wait to go home and just relax and watch crappy TV!

 

[MrsBea23]

Aww Snow honey so sorry your day is getting worse. Go home and eat a tub of ben & jerrys. Big .

 

[NotNic]

Hiya everyone! Sorry this weekend was hectic and I haven't had much chance to be on here. My 4yo niece stayed on Saturday and we had so much fun. I took her to see Arthur Christmas and she loved it. We then had a girlie sleepover with malteasers and hot chocolate and watched the newer Miracle on 34th St. She was so funny. She is obsessed with the idea of the thanksgiving parade and when we woke up in the morning she insisted on watching the 'New Walk' one (meaning the New York one!). I leant her the DVD and she has since made her mum watch it twice more! Also had a very productive Sunday and bought most of the children presents and picked my mum's tree for her. A very christmassy weekend!

Glad everyone else had good ones.

Bex as they say you're not out until the witch is in! Keep your chin up. It's been a great month and whatever happens you will get a BFP soon.

Snow - when will you hear about the test results? Sorry you felt so bad not bding, but if it's meant to be your month than any bding done before might have done the trick.

Hands - look at your prune! You're almost a lime already. Yay!

Mrs Bea - I'm going to have to catch up on desperate scousewives too. I wonder what the reviews will be like tomorrow?

CH - good work on your Christmas shopping. Think you'll be buying for your own baby next year!

Girlies keep your fingers crossed for me. Scan in the morning. Eek!

 

[CHDickey]

Snow- sorry your day was yuck just remember tomorrow is a new day. And you never know what might happening?!?!

Bex- are ya feeling better?

Thanks for the compliments ladies!! I love doing stuff like this, it is truly how I get the stress out.

How's everyone else doing? Bea- you said you were pretty whipped, Nic- how are you holding up? Hands- I would be shouting from the roof tops! How exciting to be able to share your good news.

 

[Srbjbex]

hello my lovely mid august ladies.

I am feeling so much better today, thank you all for your kind words and thoughts, it means so much to me. I think I just needed a day to be miserable and get it all out of my system. I am now onto next month and my new testing date is Christmas Day!!! Plus hubby and and I have decided to plan lots of fun and exciting things for next year - starting with a long weekend in Northumberland for our first wedding anniversary in March. Plus Im going to apply for the ballot for Wimbledon this year, and Bea I may even end up fulfilling an ambition of mine and go to the Edinburgh festival!

Snow - how are you doing today my lovely!? I wish we lived closer too. Im sorry you had a rotten day too, I'm sending you massive virtual hugs.

Nic - sounds like you had a lovely Christmassy weekend. I want to go and see Arthur Christmas too, I'll see if I can find a small child to steal to take with me!!

Much love to everyone! xx

 

[NotNic]

Hey ladies. Just wanted to let you know that I am waiting for my scan now and it's testing my waiting skills more than TTC did! We have been here for over an hour now. I'm starving too! Fingers crossed it won't be much longer, though I have been 'next' the whole time I've been here!

 

[InHisHands]

Bex - Christmas Day! How exciting that would be!!!!

Bea - When is your scan? I know its coming up real quick.

Nic - Hang on Plum!! Be sure to tell us all about it though!!!

Snow - it will be okay. I wish i lived closer to you too... but im just not on the east coast.

CH - I havent even done my christmas shopping yet. I need to go to the store and just buy gift cards next weekend and get it over with. Most of the family is out of state so that makes that easy. BTW im going to tell my 5th grade class about the baby today. I'm gonna put up a riddle for their morning work and if they think they know the answer, they can write it down and turn it in.

"Dear 5th graders,
Since I like you, I'm going to give you a clue.
I've been with your since September,
But you won't be able to see me until June.
Little Bean

They will be so excited. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[MrsBea23]

Nic - How did you get on? They must of seen you by now lol. Exciting stuff.

Hands - My scan is on Thursday seems like ages away! Did your class get the riddle?

Bex - So glad you are feeling better. Yes you definitely have to come up to the fringe. You and DH have to come and stay with me, hopefully the baby will be sleeping through the night by then and wont keep you awake.

Snow - Hope you are feeling better today hun.

CH - How are you today hun? I am even more tired today I got up super early so I could leave at 3.30 to get home for the electrician to come and look at the lights in the garage, knowing the trades people around here I bet he doesn't even show up lol.

 

[snowflakes120]

Hey y'all!

I am feeling better today. I do however regret my decision to not BD Sunday - but it's too late. I guess I just needed a good sleep last night to get rid of my funk. Got another raise in temp this AM so am fairly certain I OV'd Sunday. One tomorrow and FF will give me my cross hairs. My OBGYN will call me usually Wed. or Thurs. with my HCG results. I am assuming they must be somewhat low considering I already OV'd.

I got to see tons of pictures of my friends baby. She is so cute! I can't wait to meet her and hold her. I think we are going to go and visit this weekend.

Nic - Sounds like a great weekend! Can't believe you have so much Christmas shopping done. I have my sister done and dad and a few things for hubby. I have to get stuff for my other sister and my brother in law plus I have my mom to buy for too. My one sister & her husband are a priority as they are in the Peace Corps and in Africa so I need to get stuff out to them soon. Can't wait to hear about the scan!!

Bex - Glad you are feeling better today. Now that would be the best Christmas gift ever! Forget presents all I want are 2 lines!

Hands - Super cute idea for the kiddos! I bet they are going to be so happy and excited for you!

CH- Being creative always helps me with stress too! I love to sew and scrapbook!

Bea- I bet you are just exhausted! I really hope that guy comes and goes fast so you can sneak in a nap!
