Started trying straight after loss - where are we now

[filipenko32]

Haha he is a fit dog!! He sounds cute
I have just managed 3 laps around the field instead of 4. Hubby sat on the bench listening to football on his iPod. I get him to come with me as the field is quite lonely and I'm a scaredy cat. It's a pretty field tho surrounded by woods. But you never know do you? Anyway I'm quite proud of my 3. Four laps tomorrow!
Emum I didn't feel earth quakes unless you count me doing 5 star jumps just for fun!

3 laps is good.... i couldnt run the length of myself mayb in a couple of weeks when i shift xmas weight .....

Hello Ladies!

OH left me sleeping to see how long I'd sleep for....woke up at 3:22 pm!

Welcome Snarfi and Jakki, I'm so sorry for your losses The Ladies here saved me after my loss, support from those who know how you feel is absolutely priceless.

I'm wolfing down a chicken hotpot for my 'breakfast' and its goooood.

 

[filipenko32]

God it was hard kara, I was sweating profusely and panting like mad. Not enjoyable at all but I'm going to keep at it.
Loz, that sleeping in time is gold standard!!

 

[Lozdi]

I have always been good at sleeping in late, but at least I have a valid excuse now other than 'well I was googling til 4 am...'

 

[filipenko32]

Yah, it can only be good for you too in these early stages, lovely hubby of yours not waking you up

 

[Lozdi]

I have been letting him have sleep ins on the weekdays, so its only fair I get one at the weekend! I didn't quite mean to sleep til that late though lol I feel as though the day has been stolen. Saying that when I'm up early I nap so I guess I just took my nap all at once with bedtime!

In non-pregnancy news, it's possible that I might be improving in another area of my life as well! I was diagnosed with sleep apnea shortly around the same time I was diagnosed with pcos. I was put on a cpap machine and have been trying my best to use it and get used to it. Well when I got pregnant, I just couldn't do it because of the nausea - I felt almost suffocated with it on! So I stopped wearing it. Then I had the miscarriage and I just didn't have it in me to struggle with it with so much else going on so I kept not using it. So when I talked to the doc today about it, he said it sounds like I might just not need it anymore since I'm not waking myself up with snoring or anything. He said that my weight loss might have been enough to relieve most or all of the problem! So now I have to do a test this weekend - sleep with a thing attached to my finger for 5-6 hours - and we'll see where we are!

I'm a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist... You may very well not need it if you lost weight. I see it all the time!! Congrats!!

I can see why you struggled with the mask (espically with the nausea). When I was training in my job, I had to try one of the nasal masks on, and wow, I definitely didn't expect it to be like that. I felt like I was suffocating with it (although, they didn't warn me to keep my mouth closed, so I opened my mouth and all the air went out my mouth and caused me to choke). It was horrible. haha.

Thats weird it says originally posted by me, but I'm sure that was Dogder's post!

I have had such a fun day today! My DD's head teacher emailed me earlier this week about an "autism friendly" theatre production of Charlottes web, and we went with DD who is autistic and has severe learning difficulties, DS1 who is nearly 12 and DS2 who is only just 2. It was just fantastic. There was a wide mix of disabled kids there, not just autistic but some in wheelchairs and some obvious Downs as well as who knows what else.

DD had a fantastic time and was completely enchanted by the whole thing. DS1 enjoyed it too, and DS2 managed the whole first half and some of the second before he got bored and had to be taken out. For anyone who hasn't been to one of these special performances (I'd guess most people!) the expectations are completely different to a normal show. Although you don't have to be disabled or have someone disabled with you to attend, you have to accept there will be a degree of noise and behaviours which would be completely unacceptable in a normal theatre setting. The buzz and energy at this one was great! Lots of laughter, cheering and applause not necessarily when the performers were expecting it, and towards the end some inadvertent heckling by a couple of older autistic boys in front of us, who weren't being deliberately disruptive, just commenting on what they saw quite loudly and brutally honestly

The actors were complete troupers and pressed on regardless, and we all came out on a real buzzing high. Will definitely try and do this again if we can find another specialist performance. I think this theatre does them a few times a year and we've asked to go on their mailing list.

Had a nice cafe too, which was another shame for my diet...

 

[Lozdi]

That sounds amazing! Like wonderful chaotic fun- which is the best kind!

 

[Emum]

It was incredible. One of those humbling, inspiring, exhilarating days you sometimes get when you have a disabled child completely unexpectedly, because of that funny world you get plunged into. It was because all of the children there were having a really amazing time in their own very unique ways, at an event which would usually be completely closed to them, and turning convention on its head. I would not have enjoyed a straight performance just with my two DSs anywhere nearly as much (probably at all )

 

[pichi]

well my sensible eating went out the window today as we went to Pizza hut Pixie was really good though - she had cheesy ham pasta and was saying hiya to everyone that walked past her seat n___n~!

bleh, OPKs you are naughty - no; body, you are naughty u___u and i have a sore tum *rubs*

 

[Jakkiw2]

You know what girls, I'm wondering whether to do ntnp in the run up to not ttc and not think about babies, okps or charts at all. do you think that would work??!!

Hi Fili

I think it would help immensely, especially if you stress about it all of the time.

I only use the opk once i notice cervical mucus which is normally about two days before i ovulate. I have only temped once when i was waiting to ovulate so that i could book in with prof Q

With each pregnancy i have waited for my period to be a week late before i have taken a pregnancy test

I personally myself would feel i was becoming too obsessive if i was to opk and temp all the time. I fully understand why some people temp so that they can see what is happening with their bodies but i have always felt i would become obsessed with it and i think that is not good for state of mind when ttc.

i'm in Angus; Forfar area

fili - ntnp is a nice relaxed way of going about ttc without ttc if you know what i mean

 

[Hope39]

Thanks karacal I want a dog!!. Hubby is not keen though

You need to get a cocker spaniel fili, we have two and they will love you forever and forever.

Mine our my little fur babies till i get a real baby, they are absolutely fabulous with babies and kids, my sis has 3 children and two cockers.

I will post a pic of them in a min, they put a smile on my face everyday. We have mum n daughter as we decided to breed with the one i bought and when she had puppies i just couldn;t let one go as she is absolutely beautful

God i wish i could have another one but we had 3 dogs until one was put down in august and 3 is hardwork

They will cuddle up to you all the time, if you let them on the sofa that is and god forbid if ours manage to get upstairs whilst i am in bed still as they are on the bed and under the duvet before i have had time to stir. I then have to get up with them as i don't want dog hairs in my bed.

You will not regret it one little bit

I'm off to find some pics x

 

[filipenko32]

Thanks girls x x x
Emum the way you described the performance sounded wonderful and I'm so glad your dd enjoyed it and your eldest son did very well considering it was charlotte's web! I bet it was refreshing to hear brutally honest comments, love it! I taught a mildly autistic boy now and again last year. It was the time of the month for me in a very hot classroom / summer which equals at least one spot breakout on face with make up cover up melting rapidly. This (very astute) boy shouted out in front of everyone, in all seriousness, "Mrs .... Why do you get spots still when you're no longer a teenager?" to which I answered "Very good question!! I would like to know myself!". Love the honesty and frankness though. It was good of the head to point the show out to you wasn't it?

 

[Hope39]

Her you go fili, god its like i'm only talking to fili today!, lol, hello everyone else, i am not ignoring you

Here are my fur babies

White cocker is mum, Febo, and orange cocker is daughter, fudge

Fudge greets me every morning, normally with a sock in her mouth (from where my boyf has left his socks on the floor from the night before), if its not a sock it would be one of her babies (teddies) or a slipper or anything that is near by. She then does a wall of death across the sofa's and ottaman and runs round in a few circles then she jumps on me and gives me a big love. Lies on my belly n boobs so that her face is near my face and cuddles me. If you ask her for a hug in the day she will launch on me and give me one

You cannot beat a cocker for wanting to give you some love. They both love walking, we went to the woods for an hour and half yesterday and they both run around sniffing all the time

I never thought a dog would put a smile on my face and make me so happy, especially when times are really tough

Emum, your day sounds brilliant. I have a 10 year old nephew with Aspergers and he is fabulous. I love the stuff he comes out with.
Fil, well done with the running!
Lozdi, awesome kippage! I'm jealous!
Kara, we have been looking after a Shi tzu since before Christmas. She is going home on Thursday and we are going to miss her so much.
Sweet pea, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and given one of those bloody horrible machines to sleep in. I never lasted more than an hour. I don't know how anyone does it.
Afm, now then now then boys and girls - as it 'appens... We popped to see Jimmy Saville's grave today, to pay respects. Awesome.
