Tammara and Porsche - please do keep positing on this thread so we know how you're going. Your stories give hope for the rest of us TTCers.
How is everyone doing in the 2WW? I'm 4DPO and just want to know!!! Has anyone had any 'signs' yet? I had a dip in temp this morning but that's too early for implantation or for anything else, so I'm just going to ignore it.
I went to a baby show this morning and couldn't believe the amount of stuff that is on offer for preggie ladies, mums and bubs. It's insane!!! Some of the products are truly wonderful though. I went to the show to make some contacts for my prenatal yoga classes and also to pick up any information that I think my prenatal yoga ladies might be interested in. But it was also an eye opener for how much $$$ is in the baby business. We have set aside $10k to cover the costs of my entire pregnancy, delivery and for a few months after, and now I'm wondering if that's going to be enough! Has anyone else started saving for having a baby? Does anyone know how much you can expect it all to cost? I know you could go nuts with buying this and that, but I wonder how much it is to cover the basics. And if we have to have IVF that will really throw our budgeting off course! Interested in hearing your thoughts...
i can imagine im going to spend SOOOO much on the baby, ive started looking at everything already but i think i have found a bargin on ebay with the cot, there is a store that sells sleigh style cots that turn to a todler bed and ive seen them going for under $300 so im jsut watching them for when the time is right to buy one
Hope everyone is going well and not too long left in your tww
Hi girls,
Mez & Tammara: Babies can cost a fortune! With DS (who's now 3 1/2) we bought the capsule, pram and car seat new, becasue those are the things that have safety standards that improve over time. That set us back about $1000. We were lucky enough to borrow a cot, bassinet, change table and a few other bits and pieces from friends. They were planning to have more kids so they wanted to keep everything, but they were glad to have somewhere to store it instead of their back shed! Ebay is also brilliant for baby swings and rockers, highchairs (i got a leather seat Peg Peregio highchair for $15 off ebay, it's worth about $350!) etc. I guess once people have finished having kids they try to sell everything so you can get some good bargains. HTHs (sorry about the ramble!)
Fellow TWWers: hope you're all managing the waiting game ok. I'm slowly spiralling into madness and taking every single little thing that seems different about me as a sign of pregnancy! You guys the same?
AFM: well I'm 10 DPO, so only 4 more days of waiting. The FS has allowed me to stay on clomid for another 3 months, instead of the injectable meds, so I'm glad about that! Yesterday I was feeling quite nauseous all day and I've had pain similar to o pain since Saturday. I'm hoping that is a good sign, but I'm (trying) not to get too worked up yet. I'm determined to wait until AF is due before testing. Fingers crossed though!
