Fab about tests!

My last temp was 22dpo but it wasn't religiously every day..maybe twice a week. Stopped daily temping at 13 dpo

I tested with frer on 11dpo,12dpo and 17dpo then did the digital at 26dpo!

Great chart!

How did you get on telling your family pusscat? Hope you had a nice day!

 

[Pusscat]

I was too chicken to do it! There just didn't seem to be the right time! We had a lovely day, great weather for a day out and DD was perfectly behaved! Big change from yesterday when she was a nightmare! She really enjoyed seeing the animals and telling her cousin what he was supposed to be looking at/doing

 

[smawfl]

Aww I know the feeling! Took my parents being here for a couple of hours before I could work up to say it!

Glad you had a lovely day!

 

[Pusscat]

Here's my latest progression photo. Very happy with it.

Having a nightmare of a day with DD. She was awful in the night and was awake for a couple of hours in our bed from 1:30am then awake at 7 am. And been crying most of the morning. Wouldn't nap in bed and took a 40 minute drive to get her to finally shut up and go to sleep! !! I really hope she's in a better mood when she wakes up as I have zero patience left

 

[smawfl]

Pusscat those tests look fantastic! How have you been feeling pregnancy wise?

Sorry your dd is playing up... Do you think it could be teeth? I've been waiting for DDs final 4 back molars to cone through and noticed that one is out..explains a lot recently!

 

[Pusscat]

I felt pretty awful this morning. But if I've had enough sleep the symptoms are manageable. I'm putting my lack of patience down to hormones. I've never lost my temper with her so much than I did today I had I look for teeth the other day but didn't look right to the back. I might have a feel tomorrow. I hope there's some tangible reason for her mood so that I can hope for an end to it. I might try giving her some calpol if she's the same tomorrow and see if that helps.

 

[smawfl]

Aww hope you had a better night and she is in a better mood today. It's hard

I've just spotted your ticker

 

[Pusscat]

We all slept very well and she seems in a very good mood today! Sleep makes all the difference! How's bedtime been with your DD recently?

I wanted to wait until I was an apple seed before getting a ticker. I was planning on it last time but the mc stated on the day I turned 5 weeks. So happy to be past that point.

 

[smawfl]

Glad you all had better night!

Dd has been much better recently thankfully.

I seem to be getting more sensitive to smells..either that or dd ate something awful yesterday to give her the most vile smelling poo this morning ever! I almost threw up changing her nappy, I just couldn't cope with the smell and very nearly called my mum to come over and change her!!

 

[Pusscat]

Oh yuck! Go for mouth breathing next time! Glad DD is doing well with the sleeping *touch wood*

I booked my midwife appointment today and it's going to be on my 30th birthday! Not ideal as we're spending the previous night away but should be able to make it back for 2pm. Just a shame we can't make more use of the babysitters!

Took another ic test and it's nearly as dark as control. I might stop testing soon! I like seeing the progression though. I suppose once the test line is as dark as the control there will be no more progression to see!

 

[smawfl]

Yay for the midwife appointment! Will that been your booking appointment?

Those ICs are fantastic, it really is amazing to see such clear progression!! Good Work!

My appetite seems to have calmed down a lot recently, which is good, as I think I've already put on a stone already! I definitely do look bigger this time round already!!

Anymore queasiness from you?

 

[Pusscat]

Yes, it will be my booking in. I'll be 8 weeks.

Did you find you were always hungry? I don't think I've felt full for a couple of weeks now. We don't have scales in the house so I don't know my starting weight which I am glad of! I feel like my tummy is sticking out already! I'm feeling tired and sick and clumsy today. Bumped my head on the stairs this morning then just now smashed the lid of a glass jar and chipped my favourite mug. Good job I was holding dd otherwise it might have hit her

 

[smawfl]

This time round my appetite did definitely increase... With DD I was hungry ALL the time, I would often have two dinners I was never satisfied.

I remember having to have breadsticks with me at all times as if I didn't satisfy the hunger immediately I would feel sick!

I was clumsy for DD too! I remember stubbing my foot so many times and tripping over things!

 

[smawfl]

Oh can't remember if I mentioned but I got the results back from the NT / Down's screening and it was 1:25,000 so quite relieved with that. Think DD was 1:43,000 last time, so think the risk does increase with age.

 

[Pusscat]

Oh good, that's still a great result. Not long to go until your next scan!

Going to have to take lots of supplies with me to work tomorrow and try and eat them secretly!

 

[smawfl]

How was work? What days do you do again?

I'm an avocado!

Had my 16 week midwife appointment yesterday, all went well and got to listen to the heartbeat 145bpm, definitely think it's a girlie!

 

[Pusscat]

I work Thursday and Friday. It was OK. I haven't told anyone there yet until I tell my family. I don't get any time to sit and think about how I'm feeling so that's quite good! I was tired and emotional last night but good now and not too exhausted!

Woohoo for avocado! And glad all good at appointment. Have you noticed having fewer appointments then last time round?

 

[smawfl]

How's the tiredness?

I put dd to bed as usual earlier then came to lie on our bed..and fell asleep and just woke up! Shattered!

It does feel they are a bit more sparse the appointments now. Next one will be the 20 week scan,then nothing again until midwife at 25 weeks!
