*~*~* The Decemberists! *~*~*

[Pusscat]

DD didn't get to sleep until 11 last night. But slept through, which she hasn't done for ages. Hope tonight sees some improvement! Her main development is in speech at the moment so maybe that's affected her. And she's often clingy with me, so might be separation anxiety as well.

Oh dear, it's horrible when they don't like the bath because it's meant to be such a fun time. Hope she's recovering from her fear.

My temps continued their downwards trend today. Below the cover line now. On look out for AF. Still testing though! Bfn on ic again this morning. Want to know either way now! Bought some tests from superdrug today which I will use tomorrow morning if AF hasn't shown up my then.

 

[smawfl]

11pm?! Oh wow. How is she tonight? Hope she sleeps through again!

Tonight's bathtime was a little easier as I bought her a new bath toy (which she subsequently wanted to take to bed with her!!) she was still a little reluctant to get in though.

Boo to downward temps. Hoping AF stays away!

What tests did you buy?

 

[Pusscat]

Oh yes, 11pm! She is one determined madam!! We've tried cry it out method tonight, going back every 10 minutes. We've been going since 8 and she's stopped the screaming and is just murmuring now so I'm reluctant to go in again even though it's been 15 minutes since I last went in. It's pretty good going if it's only taken an hour, compared to last night!

No AF so far. I've been expecting it every time I go to the loo! I bought a double pack of superdrug's own brand as I've read they're pretty good. Looking forward to using one tomorrow!

 

[smawfl]

Hope she settled sooner last night and wasn't another 11pm!

How's this mornings temp? Are you testing today too?

 

[Pusscat]

Hope she settled sooner last night and wasn't another 11pm!

How's this mornings temp? Are you testing today too?

So I used my last FRER this morning...............

 

[smawfl]

Woohoo CONGRATULATIONS!!! So pleased for you!!

How many dpo are you?

Yay another bump buddy!! Xxx

 

[Pusscat]

Thanks smawfl I'm either 10 or 7dpo depending on which ov date I choose! Seems quite a clear result for only 7dpo so maybe somewhere in between 7 or 10dpo! BFP is all that matters though Feeling a bit queasy!!

 

[smawfl]

Yep I think you possibly ov earlier than ff suggests. That is a very clear bfp,no squinting necessary! Perhaps some of your temps were off a little?!

When is your edd? Excited we will have similar age babies again!

 

[Pusscat]

Edd 8th April.What's yours? I wouldn't be surprised if my temps weren't totally accurate what with he holiday and DD being in our bed some nights. It really hasn't sunk in yet. I think I'll phone the doctors tomorrow and see when they suggest I have my first apointment. Would be good to get that out of the way before I start back at school. Still got 4 weeks of sunmer holiday left so I can get a good chunk of 1st tri out of the way.

 

[smawfl]

I'm 4th March with midwife dates. 2nd March by my ov date!

I looked back and officially Dd was born on 40+3 but spot on with my ov date.

Definitely handy to have holiday over first trimester. How are you feeling?

Not sunk in for me yet either!

 

[Pusscat]

I've been feeling a bit sick the past few days but nothing major. More like feeling hungover. Eating seems to make it better!

Just saw you're 9 weeks now! That's good! Getting towards the end of first tri. Have you got your scan appointment yet?

 

[smawfl]

No scan date yet when I had my booking in appointment my midwife said she'd requested it on the 7th July but don't think the letter comes through until about 3 weeks before so hopefully should get it soon. Really hope it's the first few days of 12 wks and not later!

Last night we were (stupidly) watching The Food Channel and they were making some sort of apple and cinnamon dessert, and in my head popped McDonalds hot apple pies. I mentioned it to DH and bless him he went out to get me one. Possibly my first craving?! I think I craved it last time, I NEVER have McDonalds stuff, but obviously needed the sweetness. I think this may be a girl too as I craved sugar last time too!

I also had a horrendous headache yesterday afternoon, and still lingering now. Think I'm not drinking enough water.

At work today so can have a little rest!

 

[smawfl]

OOh I'm an olive today

 

[Pusscat]

Make the most of the cravings while you can Lovely to have McDonalds delivery service whenever required!

I just phoned doctors and got booking in appointment booked. Not until September 1st! I'll be nearly 9 weeks. She would have done it the Monday before but it's a bank holiday. At least I have it booked in but it seems a long way off!

DD is at nursery this morning while I get work done. Nothing has been done yet, too much to sit and think about.

 

[smawfl]

Good work! At least it's something to look forward to.

Mine was early as she said she was going on holiday so wanted to fit me in before she went away which I was grateful for.

Think you should sit back and relax, you're growing a baby now

Do you think you will find out if it's pink or blue? Can't remember if you did last time. We're going for Team Yellow again!

 

[Pusscat]

I'm sitting with a cup of tea now . Thinking about what's going on in my tummy right now Is there really the beginnings of a baby in there?! We found out the sex last time and I'm pretty sure we'll find out again. But haven't discussed it yet. You are very strong to go for team yellow! Are you hoping for boy? I'd be excited but scared if it was a boy. But possibly relieved if it was a girl because I know about girls!

 

[smawfl]

We really don't mind. It would be nice to have a boy, I think we both think it's another girl! Either way I will be happy, I just want to make sure all is ok and the baby is healthy.

DH keeps saying if it's a girl, we'll go for #3 and try for a boy! Lol 3 would definitely be the max. We're both one of 3 so it's a nice number for us.

I'm desperate to see a little heartbeat. Keep toying with going for an early scan. Still not sure!!

Will you be using any more tests? And are you still temping?

 

[Pusscat]

2 is the max for us, we're both one of two. DH is scared we're going to get twins this time. Just because my friend is expecting twins. He definitely doesn't want 3!

Would you be able to see a heart beat at this early stage? Hope your scan letter comes soon. Having a date set might keep you going so you don't have the private scan!

I'm going to use the 2 superdrug tests. Maybe one tomorrow and one a couple of days later. The ics have been absolutely useless! Might use one just to see if they actually work! Took temp this morning but nearly couldn't be bothered so don't think I'll carry on much longer. Have you stopped?

Do you find yourself getting paranoid about all the elbows and feet bumped into your tummy when looking after a toddler? DD sat on my tummy really hard last night and really got me worried! Hopefully baby is well protected!!

 

[smawfl]

I was worried for twins too! DH's sister has twins, and although I think it comes from the mother's side, that still felt too close for comfort! Although it would be nice to get to #3 without another pregnancy.

I think from what I read you can see the heartbeat from around 7/8 weeks? My midwife said 8 weeks but I think a lot of ladies on BnB have seen a heartbeat before 8 wks.

Also deliberating a Doppler for home! Although I think I would obsess about it! Did you have one last time?

Just checked FF and my last temp I took was 22DPO! Although that wasn't religiously, perhaps 2/3 times a week after getting BFP.

I tested 11 / 12 / 17 and 26 DPO!

YES! like you I was paranoid at first about DD kicking me but baby is still very tiny at the moment, and as you say is well protected. I try and block any blows if I see them coming though!!

 

[Pusscat]

That's so early to see the heart beat! I didn't have a dipper last time and glad I didn't, I think it would have caused more worry than reassurance. Plus I could feel DD moving from quite early on so that was good reassurance that she was okay.
