Squirrelkootch rofl-glad that the party wasn't too bad. I get really bummed when DH and I are the only grown ups without kids (most every party we go to now) or having to go to a baby shower (worst time ever!) but agree with Jaimie that otherwise its really fun to get a chance to cuddle babies even tho yes, it does always make me pretty wistful.

That link was hilarious-how gross!!!!

LuckyD-I missed that you were in roller derby-How cool!!!!! I haven't had the best start to my new healthy plan today. I had guacamole for breakfast : (

I like how you made DH "choose the plan" for this month. I have done that too-I get tired of having to come up with everything. My dh has resulted in the relax/tthf plan actually-

We saw the trailer for babies and think it looks good-although I think it's something I'd rather save until I get pg.

Annamum-hope things are looking up for you hun.

How's everyone else today? I spent a lot of time on B&B this weekend updating stuff and deleting crappy threads etc. Also took out my ticker as part of my new relaxed approach! I don't wanna know!!!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Oooh Titi! I LOVE that you took off your ticker - I'm gonna be your ticker-less buddy. Kinda like topless but less fun

AF made a surprise visit on Monday so I had my monthly cry and have been trying to get over over it. My DH was awesome about it and gave me lots of hugs. I'm so glad that we both had Monday off so we could just laze around, watch a movie and chill.

I love that Soph and Lucky have been discussing the "I don't give a flying F*)%" attitude because that is exactly where I'm at / trying to be. This has just been too long a process to get all hyped up about every month. I definitely don't think "just relaxing / not caring / not thinking about it" is an option for me but I HAVE to find a way to ease off and get my focus on other things. Hoping that meditation, exercise, eating better, etc will help.

Niamh ~ really glad to hear that you've been able to get out for hikes and such. I agree with Lucky, I wouldn't worry about jumping around interfering with implantation.

Kootchy kootch ~ glad you survived the weekend with the babies. Sounds like you had a good time with your DH which is fantastic.

Our friends ended up staying over on the 4th - we had such a good time that they didn't get to bed till 3:30 am! But we went to bed by 2 - I had to get up for a crossfit class at 5:30 on monday but I made it thankfully.

 

[honeybee28]

f**cking hate that f**cking witch jaimie. I like the i dont give a flying f**K attitude too. ha.
hope you're ok honey. I've found that having exams is taking my mind off it a teeny little bit (well, until old preggars goes 'oooh do you want to see this box of cute baby stuff my friend gave me'. i said no thanks... very very politely lol)

f**k it.

hope you're all ok. big love.xxxx

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Thanks HoneyBee ~ I'm SO sorry about your co-worker. Does she know you are TTC? Do you think that would make any difference? I can't imagine having to deal with that everyday - it would make me very miserable. I really feel for you honey. We are changing the meaning of the f in tthf! hee.

 

[Dee7509]

Sorry Jaime . I'm trying to take a more laid back approach as well. I'm not sure it helps though that I come on BnB almost everyday to "talk" to my buddies!

at Jaime & Honeybee - just what I needed at the moment.

 

[honeybee28]

thanks jaimie. yeah i think it would make her change but i dont wanna tell her coz i want her to enjoy her pregnancy without her having to worry about me, and also she's pretty tight with my boss so i couldnt trust her not to tell him. im so sorry that witch got you.

dee yeah i know what you mean, i come on here everyday too which used to make it worse, but other than the softcups thread,this is the only one i ever really look at now which is cool coz we talk about all kinds of other stuff too, recipes, big fish, cars, land, cocktails, kootchy kootchs lol.

i have a study day off work tomorrow yeeeeey!! If you see me on here for too long tell me to go revise lol. also if someone could monitor my ice cream in take tomorrow that would be great, i have a feeling it's going to get out of control.
ooooh my neighbour came over last night with some home made raspberry ice cream for me and dh it was amazing!
mmmmmm ice creeeeaaam

 

[Dee7509]

Honeybee - every time you talk about ice cream I feel to have some tooooo....the last time I had vanilla chocolate swirl with chocolate fudge and walnuts. I told myself the walnuts are good for me so it evens out the rest of it.

homemade raspberry ice cream yum yum

 

[honeybee28]

haha that sounds so yum, and it's totally true that the walnuts make it good for you. it's like how wine is good for you too because it's made from grapes!!

 

[Titi]

Dee-I like how you rationalize the good vs bad food thing-me too!

Jaimie-I hate the witch and she sucks. I am sorry she got you-I guess she was none to happy that you were having fun without her. Missed you yesterday-wish I had known you were :sad:

I can't believe you got up for 5am workout after going to sleep at 2. That is so dedicated. I have to go to bed at 10 for my 5am wake up and that does not include exercise and definitely not if I'd been drinking! You are inspiring. My new me plan is not going well. Maybe I should wait until next cycle to start....................................

I don't think any of us, no matter how disciplined will ever "not care" truly about not getting pg. And yeah-"relaxing", "taking it easy" etc. are much easier said than done. I think, like you said, the best plan is to tthf and find meaning in the meantime-

 

[Dee7509]

haha that sounds so yum, and it's totally true that the walnuts make it good for you. it's like how wine is good for you too because it's made from grapes!!

So true! DH and I have started making a sort of milkshake/smoothie most evenings with bananas, blueberries, yogurt, milk, juice and icecream....it's delicious and I sometimes have it instead of dinner because it's so filling. It started because we had lots and lots of ripe bananas and I found a tip on the internet saying we could freeze them and make smoothies.

Titi - when I don't feel like going on the treadmill, I tell myself I'll go on for just ten minutes and if I don't feel like it I'll stop. It never happens, I always go the full time .... maybe you could try something similar... I'm cheeering you on...YOU CAN DO IT

 

[Ejay]

Jaimie - so sorry the witch got you, I think I will be joining you soon. I have had that strong feeling today that AF is on her way, I have been correct for the past 11 months don't think I am gonna be wrong this time.

 

[honeybee28]

mmm dee that smoothie sounds yum.

lol thats what dh says to me if im not in the mood for sex lol!!! He says go on... let me kiss you all over for a little while and if you're still not in the mood then I'll stop...!! lmao!!!

awwww ejay hope she stays away. to the witch!!!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Ejay and Soph ~ really hope the witch stay away from you two. I'll do my best to keep her busy here in Tucson. Maybe our 100+ degree temps will melt her?

I forgot to say how cool it was to read about your fishing trip Soph! I would FREAK OUT if a dolphin swam up to a boat while I was in it - or if anyone kissed a fish in a boat while I was in it : ) How is your boat by the way?

Have you all ever heard that Bill Cosby routine about feeding his kids chocolate cake for breakfast because it has eggs and flour in it, and therefor can't be bad for you? It is hilarious.

Titi - a friend of mine that conceived without undue frustration told me that we needed to "just forget about it and it will happen" this weekend. That was before AF showed so I managed not to punch her But I get SO stuck on that issue - I know I need to have a "lighter touch" with this but like you, I also know I'm not going to just forget that I've wanted a baby my whole life.

Thanks very much for the sympathies ladies ~ being in touch with other women in the same boat, and those that have "graduated", really helps, especially during times like these.

Squirrel ~ I love the idea of tanikit, nixilix, and tryfor starting a TTHF graduates thread although graduates threads in general make me feel like a ignoramous, in addition to being infertile totally kidding!

 

[honeybee28]

oooh i hate those people!!! Like the ones that go 'just try not to think about it'. im always like ooooooh that's a good idea! I'll just STOP THINKING ABOUT IT.

As if I ever could.

 

[honeybee28]

haha BURN THE WITCH!!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

HoneyBee you crack me up! My snowboard has fun powder blue stars all over it and it reminds me of the power puff girls

 

[Ejay]

Jaimie, Honey I totally agree. My Mum is one of those, she has always told me that she fell pregnant at the drop of a hat, I haven't even told her we are TTC she seems to think that getting PG is as easy as pie.

However, there seems to be a slight oversight......I CAN'T BAKE PIES!!!!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Aw Ejay - wish I could show you how to bake pies - I love doing that! Glad you gals feel the same way on "try not to think about it". It must be hard for you with your Mom feeling that way Ejay. I hope you are able to talk with her about it someday and that she'll understand.

I thought I would get better advice from my MIL because they tried for 7 years before getting pg. But that is exactly what she had to say about it, just "try not to think about it and it will happen".

 

[soph77]

Aww Jamie, sorry hun

I have an idea about the graduate thread for you, maybe it should be called....

wait for it..... no mention about 'graduating'

The TTHF soft place to land when you 'fall'

Is that lame? Maybe I should go back to bed and wake back up in an hour.
