Make it or break it is one of my other favorite shows... Are you all caught up with it... I am kinda mad at the way they turned it but theres no way to change it due to the circumstances of the actor. And Secret life just needs to hurry up and tell us whats going to happen between ricky and amy. Just my two cents

Wanna talk teen shows? I LOVE buffy the vampire slayer

 

[Shabutie]

Name Game: Ashton

Skubluheaven: I think thats a fab idea

Could say something like:

Roll up, roll up! This months Autumn Acorns games currently in play are: [Insert game name]
The rules are as follows:
[Insert rules]

So the 'Name Game' will be a continuous one I believe so that can stay every month, and then we add the new one each month.

Also girlies, been having a fiddle this morning, and i've come up with these as I know many wanter separate one for WTT and TTC (which I think is a great idea, seeing as we are all sticking together reguards of which stage we are at)

Let me know what you think, because if you like them, I thought we could add them to the first post aswell, so that people can copy the URL of it into their signature. (So much easier, because if people ask for it, we can redirect them to the first post)

What gender baby you are secretly wishing for: I really, really want another girl. Not just because I have 2 boys and 1 girl, but because I absolutely LOVED having a babygirl. There's just something so special about feeling the little 2-year old arms of your daughter around your neck.

A random fact about yourself: I love being in my 30's!

 

[kellysays2u]

Yeah, kellysays2u, I'm pretty addicted. I agree with you about Make It or Break It; the plot got a little too close to Secret Life, but since it was unavoidable, I hope she comes back occasionally for a few episodes. As a wannabe writer, I honestly think the dialogue of Secret Life stinks, but I can't stop watching.

Yeah they need better writers for secret life... Its a little TOO predictable sometimes and not at all realistic most the time....

 

[Elski]

Hey ladies!

Cheercoach, that is absolutely fab news, you must be over the moon!

Has anyone started on their folic acid already or are you waiting a few more weeks?

My hoover has broken down

 

[BlueHadeda]

Elski, now you have an excuse not to vaccume...

Yes, I started with my folic acid 3 days ago. How much are ladies taking? I started on 0.5mg, but I'm not sure if it's enough, due to my daughter's neural tube defect.

I'm not sure how it is in SA but here is the UK 0.4mg (400micrograms) is recommended BUT if you've previously had a baby with a neural tube defect, 5mg (5,000micrograms) is recommended x

I've not started mine yet, I meant to pick some up when we did the weekly shop this morning but I forgot, DOH!

our hoover isn't broken but it might as well be I hate it! I'm starting pre natal vitamins next month

Really? 5mg, not 0.5? Geez, then I better phone my gynae. Gosh, 0.5mg is already making me so nauseous, I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle 5mg!

I still have a whole bottle of my prescription prenatals... i might start taking them too. Wonder if i can still get them refilled when i need to.

Well this morning at Wal Mart i bought a cute little flower notebook to do all my WTT/TTC journaling. I'm gonna keep track of my ovulations, weight loss, and maybe make some fun lists on baby names, and what i'll need when prego! Hopefully it'll make the next 12 weeks go a little faster

This makes me so sad! Poor little baby!

 

[pixie23]

I plan on restarting my prenatal vitamins in June.

For all those who like myself, aren't that good with computers, here's how to add one of the autumn acorn banners.
Click on someones banner so that it opens into a new window and copy the web address
Then go in to edit your signature under User CP
Once you are on the edit signature page, there is an icon that looks like a picture of a mountain, when scrolled over it will read "insert mage" - you want to click this icon and add the web address for the banner which you had copied - don't forget to save
Best of luck!

Yep, it's quite a step up but like I say, that's based on UK research etc, your gyn might well suggest a different amount. It's making you nauseous? Wow, I didn't know that was one of the side effects, poor you

Thanks for all the hoover condolences guys everyone's been saying it's my perfect excuse for not doing the housework but truth be told, I'm a bit of a Monica (from Friends) so a non-hoovered floor does my head in

IHeartBaby - ahhh, your poor little man. It must be a really difficult situation to be in as the cat is part of your family but you're right, it has to go

Has everyone had good weekends? It's always over too quickly!

My weekend was wonderful, thanks! How was yours?

I made a post on the thread but actually it wasn't my baby. I didn't think mummy2jack would mind me posting it here and seeing all those marks on her little boys face almost brought tears to my eyes! I have a cat and luckily her and my LO get along sooo well right now. She might change her mind once he learns to pull tails

For those of you that have babies and pets.. how do they get on? Just curious! Those of you that have pets and don't have kids yet... (I suppose it's really hard to say right now) but do you think your pets will mind having a baby in the house? I know it was one of my pregnancy worries!
