mummymoni, in my opion and this is just with our family others may differ, but once you have 3 going to 4 was a really easy transition, my #3 and 4 were also close in age, so i still had the cot, clothes and nappies and formula were already in the budget, going from 4 to 5 has also been a really great transition, i have the older kids to help which is great, so im hoping that when we go from 5 to 6 that it will be just as smooth.
Going from 1 to 2 how ever was the hardest part, with 1 it was easier to go out get a baby sitter etc.. but i love my family and really hope that after 6, we will talk about #7.
Well this was my last chinese meal, in order to ttc, hubby and i are giving up some much loved items, including coke, chips, dip, ahhh, and replacing them with vitamins, walking, water.
I have put on so much weight over the years, i was suppose to loose it after Kainne was born, but 9 months later, i have actually put on more, if i wanna get utd, i need to loose weight, not just for me but for the baby, i suffered from spd during Kainnes pregnancy, i was on bed rest for the last 6 weeks, so shedding a few kilos, will be a good idea.
Lets try and give up things together to help our bodies concieve, any takers, i could do with the support.
Thanks kellz, doing it together should make it easier, i was thinking about doing a de tox first but not sure, think i will just do it the normal way, now to get hubby to join in, better get that last glass of coke in, lol, that has been my biggest problem the last 7 months, the amount of coke i drink.
omg i am so upset. i have been crying since i read an email from my stupid ****ing FIL. i am so mad. and so sad. i just wanna scream and cry all at once. i rang mum and had a good vent to her, so glad she had time to listen

Savina - congratulations! I'm sure your DP will be ok once the shock wears off!! (for some reason, men are always shocked by their partner's pregnancies!!)
Lisa - I'm already counting heads (and only 3 are walking so far!! LOL!)
I have just found your thread (well a few days ago but it took me a while to read all the posts!) and wondered if I could join in.
I have polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) and also hypothyroid so since I went off the pill (April 08) and we have been ttc (May 08) I have only had 2 cycles, first 16wks, second one I'm up to cd144. However, I seem to be in the middle of my first tww as well with 14dpo being Friday. I can't say its an official tww as I only have my FF chart to go off and not any BT, but I am still hopeful that it is my first ov.
I have been noticing lots of little twinges and aches and am itching to do another HPT, but DH keeps telling me not to. I did one on ov day not realising it was ov day and another at 7dpo (waaay too early I know) and am trying really hard to wait to 14dpo.
Anyway I'm sorry to post such a long message, but all you ladies seem so lovely and I just wanted to introduce myself and join in all the fun!
Bec - big hun ... my IL's sh*t me heaps too - in the beginning they blatantly refused to acknowledge my existence (I already had 2 kids when I met DP) but as soon as DS2 was born, MIL wanted to be my best friend She still gets crabby that I won't talk to her on the phone, but we seriously have nothing to talk about! I have MADE DP stand up for me (if he knows what's good for him KWIM? ) I wish I could give your DF a good swift kick up the bum for not standing up for you!
Lisa - I found #3 to #4 a really easy transition too ... but I found #2 to #3 really hard (almost severe PND hard ) I almost couldn't cope - I was ringing DP every night in tears!! I have heard it said though, once you have 4 kids, it doesn't get any harder!
I would have a hard time giving up coke ... well, diet coke anyway - it's gotten me through so many months of morning sickness (non-stop with my last 3!!) but I really should try to fit more exercise in (I doubt walking from the laundry to the clothesline a couple of times a day really counts! )
Things are just really stressful atm, we have just bought our first house and are on the move next week so I hope things become a little less hectic once we are settled and school goes back!
mountain mummy, i also had postnd, with my first, i then got prend with my forth, and yeah, once you have 4 it does not matter how many more u have, u just have to remember to count heads when leaving the shops. lol.
Hey mum-of-five and kellz, I'll be in on the good health plan too. I have lost 4 kgs in the last cpl of months and am aiming for another 16kg at least. Losing weight is supposed to help regulate my cycle and help with my PCOS so I won't be giving up.
Yay mellybelly on the 4k loss, my first day eating healthy to help ttc, did not go as it should, i skiped breaky, i had two pieces of orange for morning t, i had left over chineses for lunch, no arvo t, steak and veg with mashed potatoe for dinner, followed by lowfat ice cream with choc topping and some actual choclate, so as u can see a few good with lots a bad, i did how ever drink water and oj, i did not touch the coke, so thats something. I am way to scared to step on the scales as i know i have put on more weight since reaching my heaviest. I would be happy with 20 kilos, even a loss of 15k would be great.
There are so many bfps around at the moment, must be something in the air, hope it floats down my way soon.
well my healthy eating day went well. toast for breaky, sald for lunch dinenr was thai then i had an apple and plum for desert.
drank juice all day not enough water though.
his blatant ignoring of her and i... i i dont care about, he can ignore me all he wants but he pretends she does not exist.... honestly... and it gutters me.
