The Two-Week Wait Activity List
14 Things To Do When 14 Days Seem Like Forever
by Lynn Steen

---

Finding this again killed a good half hour - I found it and posted it then I realised after googling it again - it was all the time to be found on Belly Belly main site ](*,) -I got it elsewhere though -so go there and read it that will kill a few extra minutes trying to find it yourself...and read the other articles -

please be inspired and write your own list I am working on mine soon as I edit this.

Well done Trish. I'll add THAT to my list of things to do 2mrow too. That makes 3 things so far!!!
:sleeping: now - a break from the spinning brain
Sue
:flower:

1. Get out yellow pages and find the longest surname I can (race my DH) ….hopefully your book is only an inch think like mine
2. Pull out Titanic video and watch it –eat something wicked naughty to remind myself life is too short …. So stop denying myself
3. Finish reading Harry Potter and Half blood Prince.
4. Then finish reading Chicken soup for Mother’s Soul
5. Bake a cake –Sticky Banana and walnut pudding with caramel sauce – has most of major food groups –so has to be good for me and baby –then clean up wash all the dishes by hand (I will cheat and use dishwasher maybe)
6. Read Sunday Telegraph cover to cover
7. Count all the coins in the money jar – wrap them in dollar lots –ready to bambozzle the KCF customer service operator – 5cents take much longer to count. Save notes for buying baby things.
8. Sort the socks –these 8 should take care of Sunday
9. Finish A on my cross-stitch
10. Go back to 1. find shortest name
11. Watch Titanic again.
12. Eat more dessert and then bake Chocolate Caramel fudge slice and eat it (share with DH).
13. Listen to CD’s I haven’t listened too in years while doing fertility dance.
14. Read more BB messages (& archives) – I aim reach 1000 posts by end of two week wait

15. Make a powerpoint to 'pictate' (new word) my stupidity doing all the above.

LOL Trish - seems like you'll be busy today!!
Today I am going to:
1. Do some homework - started doing an assignment yesterday but my brain wouldnt focus...
2. Do some housework - I have an ironing pile the size of Mt Everest
3. Cook DH breakfast. (maybe that will get him out of bed)
4. (Kids mentioned...) Go shopping for friend's kids 1st birthdays coming up and my new little niece.
5. Do the grocery shopping
6. Read the Herald Sun cover to cover
7. Ring my mother
8. Do some gardening.
9. Wash the car (ok, so I might go through one of those car washes)
10. Watch the footy.

Phew! I do have alot to do if I think about it!

Hi girls
Glad to see this 2WW list ball is rolling. I am planning to:

1 Start my PP story
2 Wash my hair - it's waist length so that will take a while
3 Transplant my polyanthus
4 Go for a walk along the waterfront as suggested at HELP to check out stroller access
5 Call my sister
6 Spend a lot of time at BB
7 Have a nice long conversation with my 84 year old neighbour who has more life in her than a lot of 18 year olds.
8 Start that book I was going to start yesterday
9 Cook a big batch of spag bol
10 I need to talk to my iron as well.

There's so much there I think it will spill over into tomorrow. That's fine.
Good luck everyone
Sue

Hey Trish, is it ok if I add an idea to the 2WW Activity List 'game'? How about - "it's ok to do something not originally on the list but it still counts"????
Hope that's ok 'cause here's my 10DPO Activity List status:
1 Going to start the PP story between posts.
2 Wash hair - done
3 Transplant the polyanthus - kind of... the pots are now placed where I'm going to plant them. I don't think that counts as done.
4 Didn't check out the stroller access on the waterfront.
5 Haven't called my sister.....yet, but it's only 5.30
6 Intend spending tonight chatting to you guys at BB
7 Chatted to 84 year old Hazel next door. Always a great laugh. She was a nurse in a previous life and has some very, very funny stories.
8 Start the book - nope.
9 Cook the spag bol - nope and I don't feel like it now.
10 Ironed 3 items - that constitutes done in my book even if 1 was a hanky.

So, I've only really done 4 things on the list, with a possibility of 2 more tonight.
But, I did get off the lounge and took a friend out for the arvo who has just had a wisdom tooth removed. She's in a lot of pain and very bruised around the jaw. So, we spent a couple of hours wandering around a PLANT nursery - very relaxing way to take your mind off 2WW. It helped that she doesn't know about IVF. Helps doubly (if that a word) to do something for someone else atm.

I think that means I've done 5 things. Not making it a competition - that's not what this is all about. Just a good way to distract my thoughts (even if I still thought about every little twinge all day).
Hope you're all doing well.
Sue
:flower:
PS I just reread this - I feel like a real desperado now!

Hi
Sue - nope, not a desparado! Here's where I got up to (it should make you feel better...)

1. Do some homework - restarted the assignment and have made a list of questions for the lecturer as I just dont get what she's asking for!!
2. Do some housework - Plan to attack Mt Everest whilst watching a DVD later tonight. But I did clean the bathroom! \:D/
3. Cook DH breakfast. Whoops - he went hungry!!!
4. (Kids mentioned...) Go shopping for friend's kids 1st birthdays coming up and my new little niece. Went shopping with friend and bought a beautiful outfit for new niece and a cool toy that I cant stop playing with for 1st bthday next w/e
5. Do the grocery shopping. DH covered that one - with an empty stomach!! poor thing, will have to spoil him later.
6. Read the Herald Sun cover to cover. Read most of it, and some interesting articles about IVF - one about gender selection and the other one was an editorial about educating kids to not leave it too late to have kids....
7. Ring my mother. sorry mum...
8. Do some gardening. whoops... the weeds will live to die another day
9. Wash the car (ok, so I might go through one of those car washes). ummmmm maybe tomorrow.
10. Watch the footy. started listening to it on the radio and we were getting thumped so gave the game a miss.

All in all, a semi productive day. I did plan to buy some pee sticks while I was out shopping and forgot about it, so I guess that's a good thing!

Cheers,
H/Blue

[-X POAS - wait for your beta
Love what you achieved ladies

With my activity plans my head is way too big and full of it for my body - but hey I still have 10 days until my beta

Tomorrow is another day. \:D/ One less to go and :sleeping: soon

Hey Chris

=D>

Hi everyone,

I have officially now joined the 2WW list today. Transfer was this morning.

You girls are way ahead of me. Anyone counting down from day one? Finding it hard to work as I am too excited.

Best of luck to the chickies who are closer to their date.

xxx ange 000

congratulations Ange
your 2ww is less because your little bub is day 5 and ours were day 2 - best of luck anyway
take is easy and put those feet up today.

=P~

Hi Baby Amore,

How are you going? U feeling well and staying positive?

See how clueless I am - Sorry, I actually had no idea. Does this make a difference at all?

Sorry, I feel really dumb hehehehheh

:D

I am not sure - if putting your feet does but it makes you feel better -
and

day 5 bubs are strong healthy blasts so they are supposed to have greater chance IYKWIM - they start burrowing in day 6 or so

I am no expert - you can come and join us in monthly thread -it is the sticky at top of forum - introdice yourself and ask them to add your details but hopefully you won't be there long :D

Good luck Ange,
:bluestick: :pinkstick: burrow, burrow, burrow

Hi Sue42 I just wanted to pop in and let you know I got your message today I just wanted to say im sorry the wicked witch got you this morning and I am sending :hugs: :heartbeat: thinking of you
Tina

Thanks Tina.
From the tiny look I had in your forum, you seem to be heading in the right direction. :smt023
Good luck
Sue

Hi all

How is everyone going with their wait? Anyone got any good news to share around? I am curious

Sue 42, Thanks for your kind words.
Babyamore, how are you doing?

Hi Ange
Well, I guess you're halfway through your 2WW? How are you travelling?
I found this little place really helpful during that time. Just sharing the 'not knowing' distracts you a little. Have a few laughs hopefully and share the twinges or non-twinges, bloating, sore BB's or not.
This cycle is not my cycle - Sushee, if you read that - zip your lip!!!
Good luck Ange [-o<
Sue

=P~

Hi Sue42

I am halfway there yes. I was a bit nutty yesterday but feeling better today. Mondayitus I think.

I am going well. Cant help but wonder every day, is it or isnt it. Are you feeling the same? I am wondering how Baby amore is. I think this is the time she is getting her blood test.

How are you going? What are you meaning that this is not your cycle (sorry If I sound dumb when I ask this)

Any symptoms at all? What are you doing to keep your mind occupied?

ange

You don't sound dumb Ange. Don't ask - don't find out!!!
I meant.... my 2WW ended last Thursday when :af: arrived. I'm in the process of deciding whether to have another shot or not. I turn 43 in 18 days. My story's a long and different one and I won't go into it here again and bore anyone. Plenty of posts about it though.
Yes, I think Trish's BT was/is tomorrow. It would be great for to have some good news amidst all the bad. She is one strong woman who has still remained gentle and caring after all she's been through.
I guess from what you've said you are continuing to work? Hats off to you for that. I took the time off - I knew I'd be biting heads off all over the place. I was vague enough from the hormones before the transfer - hate to think what I would have had to go back and redo if I'd stayed at work afterward. It's good to have something else to occupy your mind though. I kept myself busy by zooming around this website (I only discovered it 2 weeks ago). I also love my garden, so spent a lot of time out there. I live near the water so did some nice walks too. I used to talk to emby (with nobody in earshot of course) and point out all the different landmarks and plants (again not actually pointing) etc. I was a real woos the second week of 2WW. Tiptoed around everywhere and wrapped myself up in cottong wool. It was nice and indulgent!!
I'm backing off a little from August #5 atm - but I still check in to see how everyone's going though. It's nice to see the success stories, gives us all hope.
:D I'm always lurking around so I'm always here for a chat.
Good luck
Sue

Hi sue

Im sorry to hear about you getting AF. It must be so hard for you. Did it come early or on time? Did you get your blood test done before AF? What were your symptoms (if you had any).

Yes, I am working, unfortunatly I have to but at least it slips my mind sometimes. Would like to be on holidays but I am saving them for the end of the year when the weather is nice and warm.

You deserve to indulge after what you have been through. What a perfect excuse to take it easy and relax. I hope you do stick around and that you have success with the treatment!! I wish you all the best and hope to hear from you very soon with good news!! I hope to bring good news too.

love

ange :D

Hi Ange
I went 13 DPO, but I had period-type pains in my back for about 5 days before it arrived. I had very faint spotting for a few days beforehand. But, you can't really read much into that. Pregnancy symptoms can be the same!!!!! The drugs can give you the symptoms too.
So, as frustrating as it is, you can't really know your pg until either stupid witch arrives or you get a BFP!!!
I hope that's what you get!!!
Sue

:D

Hi Sue,

I know what you mean, it can drive you nuts trying to work it out hey? Did you take your temperature at all?

I hope the witch does not arrive for me. I have had enough of the witch to tell you the truth, time for some BFP's!!!

Will you try again soon?

ange

Hi
No, I didn't take my temp or POAS. I would have REALLY driven myself insane if I had.
I will make my decision on my next birthday - 43 - next month.... Can't really afford to leave it too much longer after that though!!
Sue

:D

Good luck with it Sue, I hope it all goes well.

Will be thinking of you.
