Squirrel- Glad the cupcakes turned out well. I think I'm going to steal your idea and make some for Fathers Day.

Mushmouth-- I'm so sorry you have to take some time off of TTC. FX you will be back to it asap!

Tanikit--Woo Hoo. That's great. Fudgie is a cute name. Much better than it could have been.


LuckyD--Try to stay warm FX for you. Tell those boobies to stop trying to trick you.


Jaimie- That's great you were able to talk to someone face to face going through the same thing. It's amazing how helpful that is.

honeybee- Good luck for your interview and happy 6 month anniversary !!

To all the ladies I left out- Hope you are all doing well. It's been a crazy week and I've missed so much.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Thanks for popping in and spreading your lucky baby dust! How are you doing???

 

[MyTurnYet]

Yay, thanks for posting the cupcake cone info, Squirrel!!! I can't wait to try them out for the 4th of July party! Also, your kitchen counter looks very nice. Granite?

Nope, laminate that just has a granite design on it! With it being dark brown like that, it really hides the mess my OH makes!

 

[MyTurnYet]

Oh, that looks so pretty! I actually want to do something similar in our kitchen...my sister and mom both have the same thing, in a similar dark color and it looks so nice. We have this boring beige laminate counter, blah.

 

[honeybee28]

ooooh thanks for the cupcake recipe!!

cd 19, another high this morning, 7 in a row now! What's the most any of you cbfm uses have had?

 

[LuckyD]

Feel like I have missed lots!! been so busy and I guess out of the loop, it was nice not stressing this cycle and seeing AF did not bother me at all she was very kind as well over very quickly but no spotting yay! hope the MACA is doing its thing!

LuckyD sounds chilly like that you are not SS or stressing yet

Hey love, glad that you have had a nice relaxing cycle and that you had no spotting - that's awesome! How is the healthy eating going?

Yep, not stressing too much yet...pretty sure I have AF symptoms so not getting my hopes up.

Hey everyone!! I think lucky has said everything i was going to say lol!! ooooh fx you get the house. and fx your sore boobies mean something!

I have a job interview tomorrow!gulp. im so nervous about it coz it involves a lot of tests and i don't like them. never mind, i can only do my best huh.

me and hubs have been married 6 months today!!

running late (again!) gotta gooooooooo xxx

Thanks - we find out in a few weeks, so will let you know!

Good luck for the job interview! Fingers crossed for you hun x and congrats on your six month anniversary!

LuckyD gald the work is going ok and hope they will get more funding so you can get paid more - sounds like you certainly deserve it. Like where you are, its freezing here now. It will be -5C tomorrow which for us is really unusual (it seldom gets below 0C) - I have no gloves or scarf or any winter stuff simply because we don't usually have winter like that. Hope you get your house - will be fun to get it looking great.

7dpo today and not noticing anything much. I amputated that little dogs leg today and it all went fine. I may bring the dog home tomorrow depending how everything goes this afternoon. At the moment it doesn't feel like my dog which is why it was easy to operate, later on I don't think I could have done that.

Thanks Tanikit. Just having a whinge really - it's the reality of working in this area. However, more funding would be nice! Need our govt to get it's act together a bit. Wow, -5 is freezing! Hope you are keeping warm.

Glad it all went well with the dog - I can imagine it would have been much harder to operate on a dog that feels more like a family pet. What type of dog is it?

Hi ladies! I'm having trouble keeping up, lately. Was feeling really sad this morning, so need to get back into TTHF mode. This is my first full month temping and had a big temp drop this moring, which I guess means that AF is coming later today/ tomorrow. Every holiday I get in my head how great it'd be to announce to our families when we get together, so was just thinking how wonderful it'd be to announce the pg (that hasn't happened yet) on Father's Day this weekend. Looks like that is not happening! On the bright side, have an OB appointment tomorrow, so that makes me feel slightly better. Am going to ask if she can help me and/or recommend an RE. Think I'll go in there with a list of questions.

Also, went to visit my sister and new niece again last night. She is so, so, so cute. Not sure if I mentioned, but holding a baby makes me want one even more!

Lucky - how exciting about the house! Glad your job is going well, even though it sounds super busy! I think you said it's going to be full-time for a couple of months, and then go to part-time, right? Is that still looking like the plan?

Hey sweets, so sorry that you have been feeling down hope that the temp dip doesn't mean AF is on the way...xx I totally do the same thing about imagining 'if I was pg this month, when would I tell people?' - it can be a killer.

Yeah, the idea was to go down to three days a week in a few months time - I hope that can happen. There is going to be so much to do on the land, and I want time to spend doing that. We will be much poorer, but I would rather have less money and invest time into making our life together on our land.

Thanks for the dust lovely! How are you? xx

LuckyD--Try to stay warm FX for you. Tell those boobies to stop trying to trick you.

Thanks xx I've tried to have a word to them but I don't think they listen to me.


Boobs are sore! But in a pre-AF kind of way. My LP has been from 11-13 days, and it's 10dpo today, so they are right on time. Am pretty sure this is AF on the way. Ah well.

I am the midst of world cup madness - NZ drew their game last night, which was not at all expected - this is only the third time we have EVER got to the world cup, and those other two times we lost all our games. So it's kind of a big deal here. I don't really follow sport, but it's impossible not to get a little bit caught up in it all at the moment.

I just booked tickets for me and two of my besties to go see Blondie and The Pretenders in December at a vineyard - yay! Long way away..but something fun to look forward to!

Hugs to all my lovely TTHFers

MyTurn - sorry you are feeling down, I find it really hard in the last few days before AF is due. I have been temping for the first time this last cycle to, I did actually have a big temp drop it was the day AF arrived, sending you some

Good luck with the OB appointment

Thanks Tryfor, hoping it does the trick for all of us

Honey - good luck in the interview

Squirrel - those cupcakes look yum, I have no will power when it comes to sweet things, the cook in our office canteen makes muffins which are sooo yummy.

Tanikit - glad the op went well for little Fudgie.

Mush - some chill out time sounds good, I am sure when the time is right you will be able to talk things through

Lucky - good luck with the house, sounds a great plan. Glad work is going ok, I am sure it is a challenge that you will rise to

Hiya Parkgirl, Niamh Jaimie, Soph and everyone else

I was very healthy and walked to work this morning, I don't know why I haven't done it before to be honest. The walk was through a lovely flood meadow full of skylarks singing at the top of their voices, it was stunning. Helped blow the cobwebs away and clear my head a little. Will be doing it every day I can from now on.

 

[mushmouth]

oooh wow Squirrel I LOVE THEM! thank you for sharing!

thanks for all the support girls... I'm just seeing how it goes for now!

Good luck for today Honeybee!!! I love the excuse for getting 2 dresses....

Ejay - that walk sounds perfect!

 

[Tanikit]

Squirrel those cupcakes look great - maybe I'll try some for my DDs birthday - still a while til then though. Thanks for posting that.

Honeybee not sure what time zone you are in but hope your interview went/will go well.

Ejay that sounds nice - how far is it to walk? I started walking my DD to school and then to work in May and it definitely makes me feel better (even in this freezing weather) , but you seem to have a lovely neighbourhood to walk through - enjoy.

LuckyD its nice you have something more distant to look forward to - definitely helps. The World Cup madness is catching - I don't watch much of it, but do hear what is going on and since we are not a very patriotic bunch I know many SOuth AFricans supporting other teams which makes it more interesting and keeps people following it.

It is way too cold today - I cannot get warm. Brought Fudgie home today - he had a rough day yesterday after waking from the anaesthetic, but is walking around quite happily today. I'll have to take him in to work a few times to sort out the bandages and check a few things, but he is much happier here with us - still working on getting photos. At least his temperature is down and he's eating fine.

 

[parkgirl]

Honeybee, MyTurnYet, and Squirrel- Hugs and have a wonderful day!

LuckyD- I don't follow the world cup, but I do know it's very popular. Hopefully NZ will stay in it as long as possible.

Ejay- the walk sounds lovely. Is the weather nice there?

Mush-

Tanikit- Great news Fudgie is doing well. I'd also like to see photos when you have them.


I'm working from home today, so I got to sleep in 'til 6:30. Usually up at 5:00. I feel very refreshed. The plan is to get a lot done today so I have the weekend work free.

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Tanikit – Glad to hear that Fudgie is recovering nicely and adjusting to your home. I hate watching dogs recover from anesthesia - makes me wonder what they think happened to them?

Honeybee – I hope your interview went well. Congrats on your 6 month anniversary! Sorry to hear about the mood swings, that isn't any fun. I hope you get back on solid ground soon. Might have been getting nervous for your interview that made you out of sorts?

Squirrel – So did your clothes come from a naked lady party? I've been to a few of those - where gals get together and do a clothing swap. Maybe it was new clothes though?

LuckyD- funny how it is a winter BFP explosion for you! I really hope it works out well with the army house. I completely hear what you are saying about funding for youth mentoring programs and the like. So glad you are going to see Blondie and The Pretenders! That is going to be worth every penny. I just bought tickets to see the Pixies in September

Ejay – so nice that you can walk to work

ParkGirl – I work from home too - how often do you get to do that? I work from home whenever my boss is traveling, which is fairly often.

I spent the last 24 hours in Santa Fe! I spoke at a conference there yesterday. That is one incredible town - Santa Fe means 'holy spirit' and it is well named. The whole place just exudes spirituality. There is this amazing cathedral and chapel in the middle of town. I'm a pretty crummy catholic - buddhism is much more appealing to me. But I sat in both the cathedral and the chapel and said a prayer to St. Gerard, the patron saint of mothers and women trying to conceive. I said it for all of us Here are some pics:

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Ok, so that last pic is a museum of history for the state of New Mexico. I could see the Loretto Chapel from my hotel room and there is a "miraculous" staircase inside that is the source of lots of mystery. Here is a wikipedia link if you are interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loretto_Chapel

 

[parkgirl]

Jaimie- I work from home almost every Wednesday and am off Friday-Sunday. But the days I'm in the office are very long. I think it's a fair trade.
The pictures from your trip are beautiful.

 

[Tanikit]

Trying to upload photos, hope it works.

This is my DD, Laurana with the puppy - she adores him and he is sleeping in her bed right now - he fell asleep before she did. He is doing so much better for all the attention.

Santa Fe looks great Jaimie - glad you had a good time and hope we will see a lot of BFPs

Honeybee, hope the mood swings ease up after the interview - I have been really irritable mainly with my DD the last few days and I am hoping it will ease up too else this will be quite a cycle if I am not pregnant.

 

[parkgirl]

What a cute pup, Tanikit!! Super cute kiddo as well.

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Aw! Laurana and Fudgie are SO cute Tanikit! Thanks very much for posting pics. So Fudgie didn't have to work at learning how to walk on 3 legs, he just picked it right up? It amazes me how well dogs with missing legs are able to walk.

 

[Tanikit]

Thanks, yeah he was a little unstable this morning, but by this afternoon he could even manage the stairs outside by himself - they are pretty amazing. Laurana is dressed in 2 pairs of pyjamas since it is -6C tomorrow and we do not have any internal heating in our houses unlike many places overseas. This weather is crazy. If I am pregnant this month it will be the exact opposite of last time's pregnancy - the baby would be born in the heat of the summer. Right now I'd be happy with a BFP anytime and while its better to end in winter, I wouldn't care.

 

[Annamumof2]

well i'm here girls, been a busy week so far, i had to take skye to the hospital last night as she smacked her eye and hurt it badly but she is alright now, 3 hours to be seen was stupid, anyway with me i have alot of watery/clear discharge and i felt bega dizzy elier while i was out with my mate at the fair with the kids, and i felt sick also, anyway im due on in 10 days if i go by a 58 day cycle sooooo i dunno what to think i just so tired right now so i think i will get going to bed now, sorry i havent replyed to you girls i will try to catch up soon just so tired and dont feel right

night night mwah

 

[SquirrelGirl]

So much to catch up on!

I'm excited that you all love the cupcakes and want to make them! They were very "trendy" in the 80s. My mom made them for my birthday parties a couple times. At some point, they popped into my mind again, and I did an internet search and found that other people who had them as kids are starting to make them again, so they are coming back into popularity!

The clothes party was new clothes, though a clothing swap would be a fabulous idea! This consultant comes with a ton of clothes, shows them all to the group, then everyone can try on whatever they want. Then place an order.

Actually just got a call from the consultant, and the jacket I ordered was out of stock in my size. Oh well, I spent way too much money anyway.

Tanikit-- Oh My Gosh, how ADORABLE is that doggie!!!!!!!!! That's so awesome that you were able to bring it home and now your daughter has a new best friend!!! Super Cute!!!!

Ejay, that walk to work sounds amazing!!!! Very TTHF!

Sorry to those I've missed, I was trying to do it without doing the multi-quotes.
