Dance this deserve a happy dance exclusively kept for very special celabrations

 

[josie1234]

Yes Lisa, definitely deserve a happy dance. How's everyone else today?

 

[josie1234]

Cry - that's a good temp rise.

 

[crysshae]

Lisa - I agree. That is definitely happy dance worthy.

Jo - Thanks, but my temp does that on a regular basis, so I can't ever get my hopes up about it. Even though when I first see it, I'm like "Yay". Then it dawns on me it did the same thing last month.

I did feel hot all night though, not sweaty or anything, just hot, and our thermostat was set the same as always. So I'm hoping that's a good sign.

How are you today?

 

[Oasis717]

Yes that is a big jump temperature wise hope it stays up for you I'm trying to do housework as the boys are at the pub eating burger chips and ice cream and watching football, ok for some!! But everything is getting so hard, bending to pick things up, getting near enough the sink to wash up! I was under orders from dh to relax and have a break for a couple of hours but I'm still trying to do things, 3 loads washing, washing up, Hoover upstairs and down and the stairs done, even if I did gave to keep sitting down. I sometimes wonder how I will fit it all in when Brooklyn comes! Although dh is fantastic and does loads inc all shopping and cooking xxxxx

 

[crysshae]

Oh goodness. It does get so hard to move around in the last months. You'll do just fine, just like you've done before. I think it's normal to feel nervous and overwhelmed at this stage. And if housework falls behind in the beginning, it always gets caught up later on.

 

[Oasis717]

I keep telling myself that! Doesn't help I have OCD lol so it's very hard to leave things so I'm just taking my time instead dd 12 is a great help too but I'm a nightmare for doing stuff myself, I need to stop thinking I'm superwoman! Xx

 

[josie1234]

Hi Cry, I am ok today, I am never sure about my temps either as they seem all over the place. My OH went back to camp today (he is in army so is only home every 4 days, which is rubbish when ttc). Had 2 fitness classes this morning and then watched DS play footie, now chilling. Need to get some ironing done. Think spotting seems to have stopped. It is an emotional roller coaster eh?

Blimey Becks, take it easy lol. Cry is right, the housework can wait.

Hope you are getting some rest too Lisa, while you can.

Becks you've been busy. Just as well I'm in here as I wouldn't be resting like this !

I'm watching the footie on the iPad as we have sky go!

I'm going out for a couple of hours today for a carvery with DH and the kids. Doc says I can but we'll only be 5 mins from hosp.

Try not to overdo it though Becks!

 

[crysshae]

Jo - It definitely is an emotional roller coaster. I hope your egg is arriving soon so any BDing you got in before DH left can catch it.

Becks - I know how you feel. I used to be that way too, especially in my 20s. As I had more children, I let a little bit go at a time, trying to teach the older kids how to do things, but having twins when I was 29 really showed me I couldn't do it all. Lol. My house is always picked up, but it's never ever spotless anymore.

How are you today, Lisa? Is everyone excited?

 

[Oasis717]

I've always been the same Cry! But I have slowed right down and I sit down in between jobs now so definitely not overdoing it I just have never been one for sitting about when things need doing! I wouldn't say mine was immaculate either but clean and tidy I have to have it and even more so now as I think what if I went into labour and left a mess! Watching a film with dh now who is not happy at the one nil score lol. Hope you enjoy your meal Lisa xxxxxx

The meal was lovely, was out for 1 1/2 hours which was nice. My DH and DS were well pleased with the 1-0 score, even though we live in midlands we are liverpool supporters!

Both my DS had their liverpool shirts on!

Midwife just been in and given me some syringes as they would like me to try and express a little milk tomorrow night.

I'm excited to meet her but getting a little nervous as well.

As I have had a section before, they said this one will take a little longer as they are cutting through scar tissue and need to be more careful !

Sounds lovely doesn't it !

 

[Oasis717]

Ooooo Lisa it's so close now! I can't believe it! I'm so so excited for you I really am. I'm glad you had a lovely meal, you certainly deserve it and it must have been so nice to spend time with your family. Dh is avid Man U fan so he wasn't at all happy with the result but he had a great time with Casey and it's the first match he's taken him to even if it was just a pub! He'll have no choice but to be Man U lol xxx.

That's like with or kids, no choice but liverpool! I have a lovely photo taken a couple of years ago with all 3 of them in their liverpool tops, its a key ring on my car keys now.

DH and DS are members of liverpool and the last couple of years have managed to get up to anfield to watch some games.

They timed matches this year around the baby, so the first game they are going to is 5th October!

Can't believe go close its getting

 

[josie1234]

Sounds like you have had a lovely day Lisa. I am not surprised that you are slightly nervous after everything, you will soon have your LO in your arms, a little miracle.

Becks - nice that they have some nice time together watching football.

Thanks Crystal, me too, I try not to worry but its just added pressure trying to get the timing when DH is away. Sometimes, I wonder why I put myself through this and want to give up but then change my mind. Think it is just the stress of it all. I did say that I wouldn't chart and do opk when DH got posted away but its just habit, want to know what is going on with my cycle. I will keep an eye on your chart, fingers crossed for you.

Got a really bad headache at the moment, took some tablets so hope it goes.

Look forward to updates tomorrow and see what my temp also does.

I didn't sleep last night thinking about Lisa!!

I didn't sleep last night thinking about Lisa!!

The nerves are kicking in now, can't believe it's now so law.

In a way I feel a little sad that I won't be pg anymore. That probably sounds little strange after almost 9 months of worrying, but I like being pregnant and this will be the last time for me.

Does that make sense to anyone?

Now it makes perfect sense to me. I said it 14 years ago
