Donor Conception General Chatter #4

[Caramello]

Hey Blizz,

Actually I was surprised to hear from you, I thought you would have been in bed ages ago (not judging, just thought you would have crashed out before now!)

Have a good sleep! And here's hoping DD has a good night's sleep too!

[blizz]

morning ladies,
only one wake up last night 2:30/bottle/bed, then she slept till 7 and I heard her talking to her self utill 8:30 by this stage she had piffed all of her bed time items out of her cot including her "ummy"
Gargy, I am my own worst enemy I don't like going to bed early but then I pay for it the next day.
I got caught up starting to organise my study last night and then got side tracked posting (might have to try cleaning with the computer turned off next time, I think I may have a slight addiction problem, you see I'm addicted to BB!!!!!)

[Caramello]

LOL - you're hilarious!

Although I can't talk - I didn't go to bed until after 1am!!

No enthusiasm about cleaning the study here though...

[blizz]

It's a matter of my own personal safety our study is our official dumping ground so things are piled up to the ceiling and balanced precariously on top of each other (hence the reason I'm keen to push the walls out a bit or at least build some storage as we just don't have any at the moment)

[Caramello]

**Gargy sighs and rolls off the lounge**

Ok, Blizz has shamed me, better go and do some housework!

[blizz]

ohhh please don't let me spoil your relaxing sunday, I'm just making the most of DD's down time while she is slumbering other than that I have been taking it easy.
at the risk of having a punch thrown at me - how are you feeling?, no more yucky dreams I hope?
I meant to ask soooo you went to bed at 1am, but....did you sleep all night? and what day is "D"day? or should I say POAS day?

[Caramello]

Actually DH started the cleaning so I thought I'd better join him. So far I've put clothes away, made the bed and cleared out my old purse and put the new stuff in. DH has put on a load of washing and done the washing up. He's currently making lunch as I sneak on here (I'm supposedly tidying the lounge LOL)

I have to do something about the study as there is a strange smell coming from somewhere and DH and I can't locate the source.

1am sleep time was due to being silly and having a nana nap in the afternoon. I had trouble going to sleep but once I was there I was ok.

Actually DH had a dream that I was telling everyone my story on the internet and he was trying to be supportive but the cat was trying to stop me falling pregnant. I had to wake him up because he was calling out and quite distressed. We had a talk in bed late last night - obviously the waiting game is getting to him too.

I change from being restless to total lethargy. I don't want to clean the study as it seems insermountable but I know it has to be done. My boobs are sore and quite full, but I've been duped with that symptom before and I'm trying to ignore it. A lot more tummy rubbing but again not sure if this is a true symptom or just my brain trying to reassure itself.

I'm not really a cranky pants (no need to worry about punching) although Alisan pointed out that everyone at work might be too scared to ask so maybe I am coming across this way. No, I think at work, given it's the first week, everyone is too absorbed in their own stress to be caring about others. Possibly a good thing.

Anyway, must go and do something again...talk soon.

[blizz]

makes sense, Think you've both guilted me now, I have good intentions but I keep getting distracted can't imagine how... oh well...computer goes off now!!!!! talk to you later tonight if you're floating around.

[Caramello]

Hi everone,

Well the study is functional now but I can't find the funky smell - have a feeling the carpets may have got wet from an open window.

All my school stuff is still in boxes ready to be sorted - but I'm REALLY BORED and RESENTFUL now so I'm giving up...

DH has found some of his vinyl singles and records so we have been playing those during the afternoon - that made the time go faster.

I think I need to get out of the house - I'm getting cabin fever.

[Malyna]

I watched the sun come up this morning before heading off to bed. I had a cup of real coffee 7pmish last night and I wasn't tired til 6am, up again at 1pm, much to the disgust of the cats, although one was pushed out the door at 6am.

I did the house cleaning yesterday, scrubbed the kitchen floor and gave everything a thorough clean after two weeks of tradies through the house, I had been resisting the temptation to do anything but a quick vacuum and it was getting on my nerves.

We had friends over last night and at least IVF wasn't mentioned nor was DS. Certainly not the sort of thing that can easily fit into a conversation. I know people only mean to be nice, but sometimes you want to slap them around the head with a frozen kipper!

The legality of mentioning doctors.. I'll keep that in mind thanks for the heads up Gargy.

[blizz]

wow you've acheived more than me....I've just done battle in the supermarket and am about to cook a few simple treats for our lunchboxes thought Paige and I might tackle the good old chocolate crackle should be fun or at least messy!!!!
sounds like you both had fun in the supermarket, I have to laugh DH has a strange effect on children they all just stare at him as if they think he is going to pull out a red nose and curly wig and do a funny dance!!!! he was getting really paranoid about it at one stage LOL

[blizz]

Tarkine,
I thought that I was a night owl, you'll have to lay of the real coffee LOL!!!Oh the dust and mess..... that is one thing that scares me silly about rennovating, we may even move out for the big stuff as I have fairly severe asthma and I think I may also be developing some allergies in my old age (Including one to our dog but that one I'm going to ignore and put up with)
Oh well of to cook crackles wish me luck

[Caramello]

Wow Tarkine - did the coffee keep you up that late or the visitors? Or just general worrying? LOL at the cats - yes they do get very miffed if you upset their routine!

Good on you for all the housecleaning - I haven't done renovations but could understand the complete frustration of not be able to clean.

I'm not sure about the legalities - I think it was more about when things had gone wrong in the hospital and people were complaining about the Ob. The thread disappeared shortly afterwards anyway so I'm not sure what the rules are. I just went because I thought I was being far more anonymous than I actually was.

Frozen kipper away - I generally bring up the subject anyway. Most people are ok about speaking about it once they have an opening. Although can relate - I think I have mentioned the weirdness at work about three million times already!!

Hey Blizz,

Lately children seem to have this obsession with DH too - I'm just taking it as a good sign that he can now relate to having children.

[blizz]

crackles were fun and messy but when it came to bath time Paige got really upset so consequently did I.
she was so stressed out about bath time that she bit me hard on the shoulder.
I think she may be freaked out by the plug being removed but looks like I have a battle ahead of me to get her back in to enjoying her baths (full post else where on BB)
I reckon it's a good sign about your DH and the kids, Kids are intuitive and know kid people when they seem them, they are smart little cookies.
Tarkine, how tired must you be feeling right now LOL, make sure you get some sleep tonight hey!
I've got my second scan tomorrow arvo so fingers crossed (last one hurt a bit it usually does when this one girl does it) I'm back in to my Gyno so hopefully it should be better I AM OVER INTERNAL SCANS!!!! sorry got that out of my system, all this time of IVF and pg has definately made me less prudish.

[Caramello]

Just had my dose of reality TV. They had a 15 year old on 'So You Think You Can Dance' who brought tears to my eyes. He will be absolutely wonderful when he is old enough to register! And all the way from Innesvale too!

Such a shame Blizz that the chocolate crackles didn't turn out so well. Hope you can get Paige over her fright in the bath.

Fingers crossed for the scan!

Hey Tarkine - although you're probably asleep by now!

Thinking of toddling off myself actually. DH has been restless all day and has been unpacking more boxes. Most boxes had his record collection in them so now they are in a cupboard and accessable (finally). Found most of the videos and DVDs too.

Goodnight!

[blizz]

I watched it to, he's definately one to watch, wouldn't it be nice to be co-ordinated like that? (sorry you probably are it's just me who's got the co-ordination of a cabbage!!!!!
Goodnight ladies !!!!

[alioops]

Hey girls.

I spoke to my mum about being an ED the other day and she was a bit apprehensive. she worries about bringing a child into the world that i have no input into the upbringing of iykwim. I have decided that if there is not meant to be a child the emby wont stick and yes there would be disappointment but if it is meant to be then it will be iykwim

Gargy, i dont mean that u come across as a meanie i meant that maybe they can sense something is up and dont want to set off an emotional outburst JIC u r hormonal.

I too have been a domestic goddess lately! unusual for me! I have done 8 or 9 loads of washing in the past 3 days and have heaps more to go! see, i am not a domestic goddess

Blizz, I am not game enough to cook with my kids yet, i dont want to have to clean up the mess

[blizz]

Ali, I can recomend chocolate crackles, I put a table cloth on our kitchen floor (it's tiled) and just let her go for it, let her make her own crackles and salvaged the others for DH before the taste testing of the spoon began (I'm not really a fan of them myself) they are super easy to make and really hands on, with little mess.
Just out of curiosity are you and Ali or an Alison? I'm an Alison with one 'L' but mostly go by Allie (think Alison was a name of my generation)

What ever you decide with the egg donation it's nice that you are even able to consider the needs of others, it would of course be hard for your Mum to understand exactly as you are her baby, I'll be honest I never considered the issue myself at all until we had fertility issues ourselves.
I guess that is something I hadn't thought about yet is how would I feel about Paige donating her eggs, I guess our generation will be more undersanding because we are living it now, oh I don't know, can't really go there at the moment and I don't want to wish my journey on my little girl even though I don't regret it myself I am definately stronger as a result.

speaking of domestic godess it is time for me to go and make our lunches for work tomorrow and find us some clothing to wear oh and look it's 10:30 almost, good to see that I'm keeping to my schedule of Midnight to bed, at least I'm consistant,
And can I just ask......Where did that weekend just go????????????
