ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[sherylb]

We picked up our crib after my niece's piano recital tonight. My MIL (right as we were walking out the door from the recital) said "It looks like it's time for you to go maternity clothes shopping!" I know she really wants to take me but I still have just a tiny bump and can wear normal shirts for probably another month or 2. So I am borderline offended at her being so pushy about it every time I see her.

sheryl, i think she's just excited, but i know what you mean about feeling offended.

 

[sherylb]

Yay! I am up at 5 am to go work at the elections for city council today. We have to be there from 6 am to 8 pm so I will not be online today.

 

[Huggles]

Enjoy!

Thanks everyone. I uploaded the last of them now available at the same link.

Sheryl... I too would feel slightly offended, if it came from my MIL... i know she probably means well... but if she'd said, "oooh your bump is growing nicely, would you like to go shopping for maternity clothes soon??".... then I would have felt lovely... as apposed to offended.... so it's all in the choice of words.. though as I said.. I'm sure she didn't mean to upset you!

Hope you are all okay!!!!

Baby I just noticed your 16.5 weeks along. Congrats! Can't believe you are just a couple days behind be now and I got bfp like 2 weeks before you!

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments. Got to say, you are such confidence boosters! You made me feel really good and I sorta teared up once or twice lol. Lame! Haha.

Dew how are the temps today?

Hope everyone is good today! It's early saturday morninghere and we need to get to soccer practice. And it is cold and rainy. Ick!

Mummy - it's definitely all in the wording.
Last pg every time i saw my mil she'd ask "are you getting fat yet?"
She didn't mean fat from picking up weight (she's hugely obese btw), she meant is my bump getting big yet. I really did not appreciate it and told dh as much.

 

[nypage1981]

Catherine, Oh my! Those pictures are too cute for words. If I could've, I would have "liked" the whole bunch! Love the close up of the red wings on Lottie from the back. Adorable !

Urgh... some people... they just have no tact! but I've seen your bump pics... you are certainly NOT fat so take no notice of her! some times I'm grateful we live far from the in laws!

Thank you! I'm pleased with the results... I'm still learning! A professional would probably be able to pick the pictures to shreds... but I'm starting to feel more confident with certain settings on my camera and pleased with the outcome!

[MummyCat]

[sarahincanada]

have a safe trip home, cant wait till you see marcus and see bub

hi everyone else! nothing interesting to report, just waiting for my ovulation which will be between CD13-17 so not till another week....*yawn*. Good thing is I really forget about TTC during this part of the cycle. Just waiting for my ov tests to arrive and will start that. Trying to persuade hubby to allow me to book a trip to vegas in July, I think Ive convinced him. Going for another reflexology today. Thats about it, nothing interesting...what about you guys....do we have any apts/scans this week?

 

[Huggles]

Ooh, a trip to Vegas sounds like fun!
Enjoy your reflexology.

I have my NT scan on Friday. Hoping to find out the gender.

Hey everyone

I had a busy weekend. Friend's baby shower was great...had fun! Also did more yard work and some shopping for our trip to Florida. We leave tomorrow and be gone for a week. I will be carrying my iPad so might catch up with you guys at nighttime before sleeping. So looking forward to this trip

FF earlier predicted my ovulation on CD10 but today it moved it to CD12 which makes more sense to me. However, I swear to God I am buying CB digital next time and be sure of things..I may still temp.

Sarah, before TTC I hated having 25 day cycles but it's a blessing in disguise. Luckily, shorter cycle does not mean shorter LP for me which is an average of 14 days. I hope you ovulate early this time and if possible test around 11am with a 3-4 hour concentrated pee.

Preethi, have safe journey back home and would love to hear good news after your meeting with Marcus

Mummy, I saw your pictures. You have a great talent and girls look very pretty. Thanks for sharing

Wishing well for everyone

Sarah, Yay to Vegas trip! A fun place to renew one's energies We also drove to Grand Canyon in 2009 during our Vegas trip and on the way had a helicopter ride over Hoover Dam.

 

[MummyCat]

Hiya Sarah!! wont be long till ovulation time... and awesome news about a trip to Vegas!! I've only seen it in the movies

Thanks Dew have a lovely trip to Florida... hope you have a good time! you're right... the only problem with short cycles is if you have a short LP... but short cycles with normal LP = fabulous it'll be interesting to see what your temps to over the next couple days!

hi everyone - hope you're all well! xx

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone!

huggles...ooooh thats exciting, I hope you do find out the gender. when is your stitch booked for?

dew Im actually hoping that you will never need ov tests again as you would have done it this cycle! so jealous you are going on a trip tomorrow, Id love to be going on one but will have to wait. I do hope you can come and update us I have been to Grand Canyon but hubby has not, so I might suggest we do that this trip

mummy: we've been to vegas about 5 times now! its so much fun, like an adult playground. but my sister went there and hated it, but she is more 'earthy' and not into that kind of thing. but theres so much to do there apart from gambling.....shopping, walking around all the themed casinos, relaxing by the pool, shows, concerts, bars, great food, I cant see how someone could not like it!

We did the plane Grand Canyon ride on our honeymoon for I think $95 or $105 each. Even though the bus ride is only about $40 each they warn you you are going to spend about 12-14 hours with them. Since we really didn't want to spend any more time doing it than we had to the extra money was worth it for us. And we found a great coupon in a coupon book in the back of a taxi.

I also had my first bout of M/S (and hopefully last) this morning at 13.5 weeks.
