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

[NDH]

It's doubtful... places here are rented so quickly, especially a place as nice as that for the price. It may even be gone already for all I know... I'll go in on Monday morning with everything else and explain the situation and see if they'll make an exception. It's school holidays so my parents are home, so maybe we can bring them as well to verify his identity... he does at least have his passport, and they can confirm his address.

 

[Huggles]

sheryl, sorry your medicaid app was rejected. Can you reapply if the other option doesn't work out? Now that you've stopped working again maybe they'd reconsider?

We will definitely be finding out the baby's gender. Last time we were lucky enough to find out at the NT scan at 12+6! Really hoping we're that lucky again.

Sorry to hear that some of you are going through bad things/tough times. Hope it gets better soon

Good luck to those still ttc - fx'd this is a magical month!

 

[babyhopes2323]

Ny.. so sorry you are feeling like this.. i am trying to remember everything i read on all posts..

A.) Can you suggest to dh that you rent the house instead of losing on a sale? thats what we are doing.. looking for tenants to rent the place.

sarah, where did you get the 20,000 k from? sorry i read the posts but ny did you mention it somewhere?

ny, we dont communicate well at times too infact like right now where he thinks that we can leave both the new house and old house keys with the movers and both of us dont need to be there and that he will trust them with packing everything, moving it to the new place and unpacking it as well !! im like sorry WTF??

you cant trust movers to pack all your things, what if they take something?? plus your giving them the keys to the new house and dont you want to know where and which end the bed should be positioned etc? i dont think the movers themselves would take responsibility.. they would want one person to be present which only makes a lot of sense.. i said dont you worry. i will sort it all out. i wont carry a single thing because im not going to strain myself , but i will make sure it gets done. ive done it with the other house, and i will do it again. he does not want to be there in the midst of all the chaos and he does not want to take a day off work, but at the same time he does not want to move at the weekend. !!!!!!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

im so pissed off,

anyway ill sort it on my own , that way we wont be at each others throats.

Ny, so like i said maybe suggest renting it out. sarah and dew, yay for your BD.

ndh, sorry about what youre going through.. i hope he gets his wallet back.. thank god there wasnt any money in there.. hope everything goes ok for you..

im off to get my weekly jab this morning..

Ny, i will be finding out the sex so i can plan names.. i am too impatient a person to wait.

 

[NDH]

Thank goodness something has gone right!!! DH's wallet wasn't stolen, (or was but dropped when they discovered no cash and no credit cards) and someone turned it in to the police station so he was able to reclaim it when I took him to report it stolen. Thank God is all I can say!!! Now to apply first thing Monday morning.

Oh and as a strange coincidence, DH's boss lived in the EXACT same unit we're wanting to rent 27 years ago. He also thinks he may know the owner, but I don't think well enough to have any clout, but we'll see lol. The owner does get the final choice over who rents even through an agency, and if they see his boss' name on the references (if they see the paperwork, idk) it might help haha. Can't hurt anyway.

 

[MummyCat]

ladies!!!

Flying Congrats on being 14 weeks hun!!

NDH: OMG.... what a stress, I was so relieved to see your last post! *phew* I can just imagine how soul destroying your day must have been! Thank goodness for this little bit of good luck and lets hope its the start of a lot more!

Preethi: Mike is similar... he'll get out of stuff he doesn't like in whatever way possible.. even if it means that I need to have to sort it all. I understand how frustrating it must be, but hopefully it means that when you get the move done, you can make sure you're happy with it all!

Sarah: I agree with you as even though I currently don't bring any/much money into our family income due to having to look after Lottie... I still have a 50% say in what happens in the house. In fact.. I have often a bigger say in what happens as I talk for both myself and Lottie. IE... today I told Mike we will be going to get her shoes as she has outgrown her current ones. He doesn't notice this as he's not always dressing her!!

If Mike responded to me the way NY's DH did... I'd be just as furious!!

NY: I'm hoping he comes home and sits and discusses some GOOD ideas with you and that by the time you guys have finiahed your discussions, he knows that you feel like you have no say in what goes on (which is unfair) and that he wants to help sort the situation and make you happy!!

Dew: Oh man, those temps were a bit odd hun! I never did temping as I couldn't get myself into a routine fixed enough to make it work. In fact we only used OPK's once in one cycle in all my years of TTC. (hubby bought them the month before thinking we were pregnant.... he figured if he bought them then it would def mean I was pregnant! sadly not the case... but next cycle we got our BFP)

Huggles: That's amazing that you found out as early as 12+6!
We'll be staying team yellow again... it's a tough wait... so many days I wanted to know, but when one of you is DEAD against knowing... it makes it difficult! cos there's no way I could find out and keep it a secret from DH.

Sheryl: I like your names... Hope you get some say in the boys one! Fingers crossed you get the medical sorted! PS... sure that your uterus is growing hun, hope the cramps have eased!

I hope that's everyone... sorry if I've left anyone off... completely not intentional!

Mike didn't come home last night, he decided to crash at his friends house in London .... he was so drunk it was probably better but I've told him tomorrow I get a lie in!! and i WILL stay in bed till gone 8am

 

[babyhopes2323]

NDH, thats brilliant news !!

Mummy 2 more days !!! yay... !!!!

well i finally was able to find the Heartbeat on the doppler.. at 12 +5 , here take a look !

[NDH]

amazing heartbeat Preethi

 

[babyhopes2323]

ok i have a question .. i know they say msg in large quantities is bad,, well today i made noodles at home the chinese way.. stirfried veggies in LOADS of butter, then added soy sauce, salt, oyster sauce and a hell load of ajinomoto aka msg.. because it gives it the chinese flavour. i then added boiled noodles and god was it yummy.. but is ajinomoto supposed to be really bad for the baby? there are different views about it everywhere and im confused as i have a lot of leftovers and do want to eat it tomorrow !

 

[babyhopes2323]

sorry Ny, i think it was you or someone else who asked if id bought any baby items.. well i havent and dont intend to until maybe after 20 + weeks? im not sure i just dont think we should be shopping right now..because it still feels very early...

plus we are moving home this week etc.. so.. xx

 

[nypage1981]

Morning girls. Thanks for all thw kind advice and concern. We are still not speaking and he said some artful things to me last night so I plan to just keep my distance. I'm feeling sad and now also sick. Have a huge cold and can't stop coughing really hard. Worried about the baby now. Between crying so much and coughing so much I hope it pulls through with me. I also didn't eat but a cup of soup yesterday so really feeling bad for my bean. Think I'm calling in sick to work this evening. Not that I want to be with oh, but maybe he will come around.

Preethi I have never heard of hat food which oh speak of so nooooo idea! Awesome that you found the hb. What did dh think of that ? We have ours video taped and recorded too with the iPhone but I have no idea how o do anything with them so wont bother.

Ndh, yay for the wallet! Good luck with the house now.

On a bright note, I realized yesterday that I have not spotted anything for over a week now and it was each day before! It's so nice to not have that goin on. Knock on wood.

Mummy I hope u got to sleep in today ! What a nice wife for letting him get wasted and pass out elsewhere! Hehe. Men.

Preethi also, you are right about movig. I do think one person needs to be there for sure.

Hi everyone else!

 

[babyhopes2323]

Yea well he will keep coming and going on thursday, the day we plan to move as he will be in the same city..

dh was quite pleased about the hb too..

That sure sounds yummy to me
About MSG, in general it's not a healthy ingredient and you can always skip without losing much flavor. I have eaten Chinese at various restaurants but my favorite is American chain PF Changs. So here's a little story...last year in summer, me and my girlfriend decided to visit a new Chinese place in the neighborhood...it looked fancy with nice ambience. We started off with Hot n Sour soup, It felt very salty but tasted good. After finishing soup we were waiting for our meal and having conversation when I started to feel weird like my neck was becoming stiff and arms were achy. I told my friend something is not right...I think I am gonna pass out. She asked me to have more water, I had water and tried to ignore my symptoms...continued with our chat....but the symptoms were overwhelming...I just got up from chair and I was like we have to go back home....basically my shoulders, neck, arms, back, even jaws...were achy and felt weirdly stiff...we left the restaurant, she drove me back (it was my car). She was terrified as I kept telling her that may be I am getting a heart attack...I had never felt this way before. After coming back home I wet my arms and face with cold water....drank lots of water and rested. In the meantime, my friend had started to feel some of the same symptoms but at lighter intensity so she could understand what I was going through. After about 20 mins i started to feel better and after about 1 hour I was almost normal and my friend too. We ate leftovers from fridge for lunch. Now we laugh about it all the time it was some experience....we had our DHs worried who were both traveling that day so not around to see if we were fine. Finally, I googled my symptoms and found those are classic for MSG sensitivity. I informed the restaurant later, the manager had nothing kind to say So, since that day I haven't eaten Chinese and look for NO MSG sign on products. I didn't know I was MSG sensitive until that day. It could have been a combination of empty stomach, excessive heat and MSG, either ways PF Changs is the only place Chinese for me now. Thanks for reading the essay

We are going for Hannah movie today evening. Wanted to watch Arthur but DH can't stand the actor. We last night too and will try today as well.

We had temp up to 60 deg F last week and it snowed last night and we are 'Back to December' (inspired from Taylor Swift song )

NDH: so happy for the good news.....good luck with the rest....wishing you get that house/apartment.

Take care everyone else....wish you happiness!

 

[Dew]

Yay Preethi for HB on Doppler. May I predict a boy for you

 

[sarahincanada]

morning ladies!

sheryl: what kind of pain is it, like cramping? hoping it is just your uterus stretching. take it easy and have hubby pamper you! you are done work now right?

ny: sorry to hear about last night men are not very good at confrontation, so dont take it tooo personally. one time me and hubby had a bad argument and he went for a drive. I was so annoyed that he left. but when he came back his head was clear and we talked it out.
and it is annoying that he suddenly thinking it is his idea to have an agent round, but thats ok, the positive thing is at least he is doing something! sounds like he didnt want to act like he had given in to you, but wanted to change his mind without feeling stupid. I think it means he has actually listened to you. but I hope you can still talk to him about how upset it makes you feel when he acts like you dont have a say as you dont contribute as much money wise, but you do so many other things for the relationship.
even though my hubby has his snapping thing, he has so many good qualities that far overpower that. he is so involved in everything, he cooks for me, he is always doing something around the house and right now he is painting my office, he really is great. We do communicate well most of the time, just have those weird moments every now and then.
ok now Im catching up, what do you mean he said hurtful things to you last night? thats horrible. beany will be fine, just try and eat and get lots of rest. curl up with a good book or movie and forget about hubby for a while. lots of

huggles: remind me when is your next scan? that would be very exciting if you found out that early again!

preethi: wow you are a technical machine now, uploading videos!!! that was so amazing to hear, awwwwww! but I would have liked for you to pop on at the end and say hi to us!!!
and thats very strange hubby is being like that with the movers, I would never allow some strangers to be in charge of my possessions either. and wow your baby is now the size of a plum, thats big!
sorry I dont know much about the food you are asking about, but I know that msg stuff is bad so you should try and limit or better still avoid it for sure.

NDH: omg I was so upset reading about the wallet and they so happy to hear someone turned it in....phew!! good luck with the app, what a co-incidence about the connection, FX that means its all fate. how are the symptoms?

mummy: hi! yes I often have more of a say in our relationship...I dont have the excuse of talking for a child, but I just say its because Im older!!!! so hubby is dead against not knowing the babies gender huh. I really would like to wait and be surprised, but some of me would like to know, to be able to picture the baby more and bond to them. I will see what my hubby wants as I could go either way.

dew: hope you get that egg! its very exciting! I have a whole week to go

AFM, I dont know why I find it annoying to temp. Im going to do it for this month and thats it! So we BD'd last night, hubby thinks the every other night thing is totally doable. the way the days work out is that I will hopefully get my smiley face next friday, and that is one of our non BDing nights, so we would do that night too. That way its great as I would have already BD's on the Thursday and will be the next day. If I dont get my smiley face till the Saturday it would mean I didnt BD on the friday, which is not as great of a scenerio. Regardless, doing it every other night means super sperm is up there all cycle long! and if I do this for 3 months and nothing then I will be fine going on clomid, as Ive given it a good try.
arent you preggies happy you dont have to do this anymore

 

[babyhopes2323]

Dew.. thanks for the info on msg, i did read on that today and some people can be sensitive.. ive been eating msg in the form of crisps etc all my life and have had no issues.. but i did feel queasy from the meal could have been all that butter i put in !!

I think ill have to fall in love with you for predicting a boy.. its what i whole heartedly soooooooooooooooooooooooo really want.. i know i have to be grateful for whatever gender, but a boy would be really awesome.. always wanted one !

Sarah.. yay for your BD'ing last night !! lets hope those super spermies catch on to the egg.. we never bd'd everyday and it worked out in the end so i guess you dont really have to do it everyday ! i would be knackered !!

yea size of a plum. thats funny though.. because i dont really think its the size of a plum ! thats a bit of an exaggeration innit? its just what they post on the ticker because its funny.,they save navel orange at some week and then banana.. its crazy,.,

yes i am glad i dont have to bd like crazy but hey we were all there going crazy at some stage and im sure it will work out for you sooner than you think.. :babydust:

xxxx got some crazy twinges but not in my abdomen, in my upper stomach so it must be from something i ate..xx

 

[nypage1981]

Sarah- OH did admit to me that his friends are on my side with the house and he needed another perspective on it and he just doesn't want me to antagonize him with "see, told ya" kind of stuff. I am much better now about things. He asked which school district i'd like to be in for Ella and stuff today so he is getting there. I am so happy but now I do know that there may be hardships with getting out of this house. I do have some sense to me and know that when having a new baby, we may not get out of here before october when the baby is here so it may still be a bit of time. I am hopeful, but trying to be realistic so I don't end up freaking out on him so badly that I almost leave him. Sigh. Just hope we don't come to another road block now that we are sort of on the same page, I don't want him to realize its tough and change his mind because giving me hope is worse than leaving me with none.

OH is so good to me in all other aspects, too, that I just really want him to realize that I am still here for him, making his baby, and that my contributions are not financial to the house, but all my finances from work go to things for my daughter that I wouldn't expect him to think of and take care of....clothes, food, school things, ordering things for soccer, girlscouts, cheerleading, etc. So I do make money, just don't make any for the housing bills since im not full time. I do contribute financially in a way though. Its tough being with someone like him because at the beginning of our relationship he knew I wanted to be a stay at home mom. But during a fight it is the lack of my contribution that he goes to and makes me feel very sad and worthless in all of this. So that was the hurtfulness I mentioned. I think I will talk to him about that at another time and let him know that it makes me feel like that when he says stuff like that. Right now we are tired of fighting and getting along nicely so don't feel like any more! I cant believe we had such a huge blow out it feels like I was watching some other couple.....I do think my hormones kinda took it and ran a little bit too though. I really gotta watch that. He calls me KooKoobear and sings a song about me living in a KooKoo tree. Lol. My daughter even likes to join in on the fun of teasing mommy. Nice!

Sarah- I soooo hope you don't have to do this anymore too. Honestly, when you fall pregnant it is a huge relief that you don't have to work at trying anymore. Although, sometimes it gets a little boring since there's nothing that you are working towards anymore. Like the chase and anticipation is fun then there's a huge lull! But it sure beats the planning and trying. I am sending you some pregnancy vibes

Mummy- I am more the one who wants to wait for the gender surprise but OH doesnt! I figured during our fight, that I was going to wait since I was mad at him and wouldnt have room to buy anything for baby anyways, but now think that I may give into him Im a softie. I just know how excited he truly is for this baby and he's like a child excited for christmas with everything to do with baby so I don't wanna take away him finding out the sex. BUT , if we have another, we are NOT finding out

Dew- how are you enjoying our weather? What the heck???!? this is crazy MN weather. For everyone else- it is middle of april and supposed to be warm, and its like 38 degrees and snowed again. Not so fun.

I am so dying of this cold and refuse to take anything for it because im very protective over my bean, anyone have any natural remedies for insane congestion, headache, sinus pressure, cough, achiness....etc. Also, has anyone ever had a cold that kind of makes your teeth achey? I have never and not sure if it is related or if this is some other issue! Yikes! Not just one tooth, but kind of my whole mouth feels achey.

Sorry so long- I guess I had a lot to say. I will shut it now.
