Did you see bbc newsreader Kate silverton is pg with second child age 43!

Will post some pics of her in christening gown

 

[Oasis717]

Lol yes harder it was 4 plus times a day not 2 that made Brooklyn he's actually worse and has been crying loads and he never cries, he's so bunged up just so hoping he's ok. Dh is worse and I've got the start of it as well so looks like we are all coming down with it. Hope Caitlin is ok tomorrow Lisa. We asked my sister in law and her fiancé (who has also been dh's best friend since they were 10) to be Brooklyn's God Parents today and they were thrilled so we need to get organising! Xxx

 

[josie1234]

Looking forward to pics Lisa. Weather horrendous here, hope it is better for you.

Aw Becks hope Brooklyn is ok. Bless him. Hope you all manage to fight the bugs off. Ohh exciting. Looking forward to updates on organising christening.

Looking forward to DH coming home tonight. Opk today

Ladies

Josie - Me to I have a Pos OPK - we managed to get to the end of my dream still not as much as queen becks - but a bit better than most months Come on Mr Josie where are you?

Lisa - Aw I hope the weather is better where you are - I bet Caitlin looks an absolute dream in her Christening gown

Becks - Aw poor Brooklyn - I hate it when the kids are ill you feel so helpless

Regina - How long - are you already now

So - How are you today hun

Crystal - congrats mama - obviously what you were doing worked

AFM - I have a Pos OPK today - hubby sussed what I was up to a few days ago and said he will not be backed into a corner - so I refused to BD - this morning well I think he had enough - sleepy sex the best

We are still trying to sort out the spare room and I said I was a bit (notice that word) sad that we wouldn't get to use the other room as a nursery - he gave me a cuddle and said there's still time - ok now I'm confused

So today I am trying not to grin from ear to ear as I'm still in with a chance this month (that's all I ask for a chance - the rest is up to whoever he may be)

[josie1234]

Fi - no wonder you are confused, I would be too. DH sometimes gets more broody than me. But every time it doesn't happen (BFN), he just says, we'll keep banging away! So romantic lol. If he was here longer than I am sure we would get to do it more. He has leave in Feb so if nothing happens before then, hopefully we shall a good go then Won't be able to beat Queen Becks though. DH is home tonight, can't wait.

Waiting excitedly for news from Regina. How long has she got left?

I am CD 55 today. Hope you are all having a good day, I have done my 2 classes this morning, made shepherds pie, carrot cake and going to make quiche in a bit. Busy busy. Yes I saw about the newsreader Lisa.

 

[Oasis717]

He's a little better today but dh is worse! Weather awful here too. Dd is 13 today so busy doing food for her friends. Love to all xxx

 

[crysshae]

It was a chemical. Line is barely there on FRER today and nonexistent on the cheapy. I used both FRERs I had left just to be sure.

And of course I told DH yesterday.

Fresh start when AF shows...

Good luck Jo!

I would be confused too Fi. Sounds like he might be confused...

 

[josie1234]

Crystal - so sorry hun. I really hope that next cycle is the one for you. I am gutted for you.

Becks - hope DH feels better soon. Bet your DD is having a fab time with her friends.

 

[dancareoi]

Sorry this isn't your month crystal xx

Jo, I think you could do with 'smiley' faces so when you get positive OPK you can double check on a digital one!

Caitlin in her gown and the cake

 

[dancareoi]

 

[dancareoi]

 

[josie1234]

Aww Caitlin looks so beautiful Lisa. Hope you had a lovely day. Cake looks really good too.

Yes will do digital if I think I have got a pos opk.

How is everyone else today?

 

[dancareoi]

DS 3 has chicken pox! Noticed 5 little spots yesterday, got more today.

No nursery for the week and Caitlin will probably get it now!

 

[garfie]

Lisa - I think it's best they get these childhood illnesses when they are younger - my son had chicken pox and I could hardly tell he had them - apart from the spots of course My eldest has yet to get them I tried to keep them both together so they would get them at the same time

Caitlin looks beautiful in her Christening Gown - I am going to be god parent for my friend in March (so excited) I wasn't for her little boy as I was in the middle of a big move/single mum etc had a lot going on

The cake looks yummy to - hope you treated yourself to a BIG slice

Josie - Hope you had your fun with hubby last night and hope that OPK was your positive I will take another today I know you are supposed to just take them until positive and then accept but the way my body behaves I want to make sure it was my positive Positive

I think hubby is confused which is a shame because he usually knows what he wants - again as we were sorting out the spare room last night he said well if we have not got a spare room it's tough - if we need it for our growing family (please if only)

Becks - Hope DH is feeling much better today - it made me smile when you said DD had her friends over Wills who is 13 never has friends over mind you would I like a room full of smelly teenaged boys farting and burping and eating me out of house and home - hell yeah

So - How are things with you today hun

Cry - Was it deff a chemical hun - have you tested today - hope you are okay BIG

Regina - Come on how much longer now - I have forgotten

AFM - Just I was really hoping to put the pre seed to some good use this month - but I am trying to be cool about the whole baby thing - I use a bit every night just in case but as I said before hubby has cottoned on - so I offer him and then say okay no worries if he gets all stressy

So we have finally stripped the spare room ready for the plasterers to come in and do their stuff - of course we contacted them last night to let them know and of course we got the answering machine - it's okay I don't mind living in an upside down house while waiting for you men to come and plaster

[Oasis717]

Oh Crystal I'm so so sorry I was so sad to read that. I really was. Will you test again to make sure? Xxx
Thanks Jo but dh is worse today! He gets it so bad. I was doing the rubbish this morn, what a horrible job! Brooklyn is still rough too, really hoping everyone us better soon. I know have a sore throat and neck so I guess I'm getting it too. Xx
Lisa what a nightmare with the chicken pox! Ds 5 still hadn't had it and I'm dreading him giving it to Brooklyn when he does. Caitlin looks absolutely beautiful. Xx
Thanks Fi she had a great time and dh managed to do all the food despite being so ill. Looks like I'm at the end of af just spotting now. I'm 100% starting my diet today. I weigh the same as I did straight after Brooklyn and have put the half a stone I lost back on. Not good!!! Xxx

 

[josie1234]

Oh Lisa - that's not good but better early than later on.

Yes Fi hope it was my positive, will take another today and digi if it looks positive. I don't stop taking them if I get a pos. Especially with my cycles. It's a shame about your DH being indecisive but my emotions are always up and down wondering whether to carry on but he is probably just trying to protect you both. Like my mum saying for me to go back on the pill, she just doesn't want me to go through heartache again. But they probably don't mean it. How are you going to decorate room? Sods law if you decorate it then you will get pg, fingers crossed!

Like me, I put my name down to do the Spartan Race and then fell pg so couldn't do it and lost £50 registration fee. Keep wanting to put my name down again but can't afford to lose the money again, if and when it happens.

Becks - sorry that DH is feeling worse. Does he take Vit C and Zinc? Supposed to help immune system. Or Echinicea (excuse spelling) is good for colds. Is it in his head, nose, throat or chest? If it is in nose, then I use spray otrivine. Chloraseptic spray is good for throat but if it makes it too dry then use lozenges or strepsils or honey and lemon.

Good exercises to do at home: step ups on stair, press ups (can do with knees on floor - easier version) and easier version is to put your hands on a low table, squats (feet shoulder width apart, push bottom back as if sitting making sure knees do not go past toes, push through heels to come back up), side lunges (bring one leg out to side and bend knee, keeping other leg straight, bending slightly forward at waist and push through foot to come back up, repeat other side), bicep curls and shoulder press (hold small weights, can use tins of food or bottles of water), hold in each hand with palms facing forwards, keeping abs in, bring hands up towards shoulders, keeping elbows at sides and then turn hands so palms are facing forwards while they are at your shoulders and push upwards, reverse movement.

Start off doing 10 repetitions of each exercise (that is one set), repeat again (that is 2 sets). See how you get on, just to start off. Another one to improve abs after birth is to hold the belly button in towards the spine but keep breathing, don't hold breath. Try this several times a day, such as when you brush teeth or do something regular.

 

[garfie]

So I thought yesterday's was positive until this
Not had one like this for quite a while

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Jo will give those a try they sound quite easy to do and can fit in with a busy day dh has headache, muscle pains particularly back, sore throat and very runny nose. He's feeling terrible today! His diets not been the best of late and neither has mine, have given him multi vits and we are both determined to eat better! Xxxx
