Hi ladies! Wow, tons pf pages to catch up on, sounds liek you're all doing good!

Jess- sorry about the job but maybe they sucked after all! You can do better I am sure I can tell you in a nutshell what it was- your possible future employer had a bit of job worry. When an applicant is "over-qualified" that's the head mans way of saying "I'm worried she'll take my job". Trust me.

Ali- lol for I am happy you are happy And I just gotta say- I'd have been whuppin' up on somebody with that hose! lol! Gosh almighty idiot people! I have people like that for neighbors...when it's hot out we leave our bedroom window open, right? When we sleep? Well, our neighbors have these little "stink bombs" of skunk essence and they throw them at our house so we have to shut the window Rednecks.

Oh yeah, dh won't let me do squats and lunges with my weight bar anymore I got up early this morning and went out while it was nice and cool and worked out then came in for shower...I noticed a painless yet oddly bulging muscle near my vagina! Scary place to have a bulging muscle! Dammit! Can't I do anything right? I said thigh muscle and glutes God, not vagina! lol! Anyways...Nuts, so now I have to do them regular and unproductive style

Ok...so there are some glute exercises you can do standing in place...

I am working on a plan for you right now! So tell me ONE MORE TIMEwhich muscles you are trying to target...

Yay! Thanks Jess lol! My butt- I want to keep (make, keep- whats the diff - lol!) it hard and high not saddle bags...pregnancy loves saddle bags Hard thighs but not bulky. And my biceps and backs of my arms and I want your shoulders, can I have your shoulders? lol!

Seriously though, my butt, thighs, and arms.

AFM- ladies, get this....Dh and I were considering strong names for our daughter- as I mentioned we want something ancient and strong and meaningful without being super flowery or lacy, fluffy, you know? Well, we were considering Augusta - never used any more I know and we are still considering it, but here's the funny thing. I put her name in this on-line assesment mathematical thingy...well it emailed me back and after reading two pages of predictions it told me (in a nutshell) that her name SUCKED and that she would suffer goiters and constipation (in response to her name?!!) and that I should purchase their recommendation for $145.00 ................ LOL!

Seriously!

Anyway I am sort of becoming attached to Augusta Alexandria... not sure why. Butr ight now I am calling her Cricket because she jumps around all the time
Honestly ladies- does Augusta sound ugly or Verna-ish? My sisters name is Verna and she hates it and I don't want my babes hating her name I kinda like it in a Roman-Kick A$$ sort of way, but ...?

Coy...Check your inbox!!

 

[AngelSerenity]

Terri and Alin - fingers crossed for you both!

CD2 here for me so I'm now officially back on the TTC madness x

Hey Angel: I'm on CD 2 also! I'll likely lay low until the TWW, but we can over-analyze together at that time

I'm actually going to do my HSG test next week, but that won't stop us from TTC.

Yeah FirstTry, we can pickle each other's heads in a couple of weeks time, and probably you as well Ali if all goes to plan in Canada. I normally ovulate between CD12-20 depending on how my PCOS is behaving

Ali have u figured out what the stats number means

I think it is the countdown to when you should test. Mine started at 5, then 4, and yesterday it said 3 and today it says 2. I also think it said somewhere that I should test on the 27th so that would jive with testing in 2 days. Course I don't know why it would suggest I test on 19 DPO, that seems like a really long time after O to test! This is only my first month charting on FF so that might be why it has such a long DPO time before suggested testing. Once I get another few months under my belt it will be more accurate I'm sure. Course I don't want to get a few more months under my belt.. I want it to happen now..

If it's your first chart FF recommends testing from 16 or 18DPO, I cant remember which. Once you are a few cycles in it swtiches to the average recommendation, something to do with getting to know your cycle I think.

Lol,woohoo for the witch pmsl,really keeping everything crossed for you for july Hun (except my legs of course if not pg)

Bahahahahaha!

News at last Ali, and at least you can now plan. at the crossed legs comment

I like that name Coy, and I cant see how it could be shortened to anything that would involve teasing etc (which is always my big concern when picking names). I don't like my name (Glenda) as I find it harsh sounding, I would much have preferred something like Indigo lol, but then again I am a bit of a quirky rocker biker free spirit type of person all rolled into one

 

[AngelSerenity]

Jess, sorry you didnt get the job but it's happened for a reason. Perhaps your rainbow baby is just around the corner or there is another better opportunity career ways which will shortly present itself

Thank you Angel! I am finally feeling a little better about it all. I'm grateful for even having a job right now. I have a master's degree, but I have a couple of friends with PhDs that are unemployed right now.

I am so looking forward to both a new job and a baby! My BF's parents asked us this weekend when we were going to give them some grandchildren. Admittedly I was a bit embarrassed, but enjoyed the conversation with them all the same!!

 

[AngelSerenity]

lol, maybe that's a sign of things to come.

Yeah the job market is pants isn't it, my country only has about 3 million people in it so you can imagine how competitive the job market is. I think my role will be finished next March as it's funded. I've started to look but there is absolutely nothing. I'm pretty settled down now and the thoughts of moving doesnt really appeal but I fear it may come to that. I may be asking all you lot across the pond where is good to relocate to!

Are you happy enough where you are for another while then, or are you desperate to get out? Sorry, I've maybe missed this bit...

Aren't both names cities in Georgia? I love the name Alexandra, but it always irked me that people from the south always want to add an 'i' to my name. My full name is Catherine Alexandra, and let me tell you, it is a mouthful! They are some strong names (but also very old and traditionally English). Not overly unique. But hey, it was an improvement over the other names in my family! My Mom is Catherine Mary, my grandmother is Mary Isabelle (called Mary-belle - ugh), her mothers name takes the cake though.. CLEMENTINE PENELOPE!!! HAHA I'm really glad my Mom didn't name me that! Some names in my family that I do like are Julianna, she was the first female in our family tree back in 1770s Pennsylvania (yes while I am Canadian, they intially emigrated to the US). Do you have any names in your family tree that you would like to re-use? I would start there, and if not there, then go with names that you like, like Augusta and Alexandria, while neither are my favorite, they don't have to be mine, they have to be yours!! I'm sure the name will come to you. Get a baby name book or if you have iPhone there are apps you can download, I did that a few months ago to help a friend with naming her 3rd girl. She was having a similar issue to you. She had used 2 very regal names.. Catherine and Victoria, and was looking for a 3rd but didn't want to use Elizabeth. Eventually she caved and her 3rd girl is Elizabeth, but they have cool middle names like Piper and Paris and I'm not sure of the 3rd ones middle name. Just make sure that you have a few names picked out BEFORE the birth, my friend Carolyn didn't name her baby for 2 months maybe 3 months after she was born. I'm like how on earth does it take more than 9 months to name a baby? HEHE

 

[alicatt]

HA! Check out my FF chart, it is just a dot!
I'm not sure I have ever seen that. I guess it is the universal sign.. my period '.' is here,

I feel miserable, can your uterus fall out? Mine certainly feels like it is threatening to do so!

I'm going to go far away from my computer now, so you wonderful ladies have a great day/evening/night/morning whereever you are!!!

Aw, don't go too far away! lol...RE: the name..yes, dh and I wanted something oldish as in Roman old, so he was thinking Alexander the great and Augustus...Ah, we are thinking about it. Augusta is old but not very pretty from some angles...but I still like it Heck, good thing we got a few months!

LMAO at your chart! That's too cute Ali

 

[Grey Eyes]

Ladies I am feeling bloated, hot, and tired. That's not a pretty image. I feel like an overcooked hot dog.

Ice anyone? It's HOT and muggy here

AWW.. that doesn't sound nice! It is hot and muggy here too. TS Debby (or is it TD Debby) is churning in the Gulf and sending us hot hot wind and moisture. I just hope she doesn't stall out in the pan handle of FL or north FL for too long, mostly because it is a rainmaker and will cause lots of flooding, but also for me and my drive. It could make me have to delay my departure for a day. I wasn't planning on having to drive through a tropical storm to get to Canada!!

Don't worry Coy.. I won't be too far away from the computer, just needed to step away for a while. That is what happens when you are glued to it for work 9+ hours a day.

I hope you found some ice, or opened the freezer and stood in front of it for a while! That is something I love to do when I'm hot and bothered (well not in the good way)

I need to do some scanning to get my refi loan doc back to my mortgage broker. I am getting a little sick of him, this is the 3rd time he has asked me to sign and date 30 pages of docs. So to do that I have to print them out, sign them and then scan them back, well let me tell ya, 30 docs scanning on a flatbed scanner takes a while! Let's hope this is the last time he needs me to do this! ARGH!
