my gosh - the temp is up again this morning and the BB's are getting sore - I so dont want to jinx myself so must keep quite and hold on another 24 hours or so. The temp tomorrow should be even more interesting.
HannahD - So hard waiting on the "tradespeople" when we're "IT". We're doing this bit ourselves (as much as we can). We had a builder in earlier this year to do an extension and that freed up a room (the old kitchen) which we are converting in to a bedroom, next to that was a bathroom (we're turning that into an en-suite.) DH works for a plasterer (his boss owns two different companies), so hopefully he'll come in and do the internal walls for us (should only take a couple of hours), but we'll need a few others to come in and do some bits for us - the rest is us on weekends. We both work long hours through the week so that's mainly impossible (I work from home).
Easha - for another high temp tomorrow. You're doing so well holding out on a POAS. Your temps look great. Hope for you a BFP is on it's way.
Jenushka - all the best with bean snuggling in really tight. It's always a worry, and I think we worry so much with every little niggle. Rest up and enjoy the next nine months.
Krystie - hope the m/s doesn't last too much longer. Miss you round here.
Joey - hope little aussie is doing okay. I remember reading you saw a little heart beat. That's wonderful.
I'd better go and finish getting tea organised for my lovelies. I'll try to pop back in later.
rach78 - don't be too hard on yourself. I can only imagine how it must be for you to see both of your sisters pregnant. It hurts everywhere, your stomach is tight and all you want to do is cry. But don't forget - your time will come too, and meanwhile, let the negative thoughts overwhelm you, acknowledge them, take a deep breath, and send them away, one day at a time. One day it will be easier than others, but know that you are working on it, creating a welcoming body and mind for your baby to come. I have tried out some meditation CD's and they have been quite helpful to me (I found a website on the Internet where you can actually download them to your iPod). I'd love to give you the site, but I think the guidelines don't allow us to post any links - maybe one of the more experenced ladies can advise how to get the information across to you?
I've only been here for a week, and I have got so many encouraging and welcoming words here, it's really an amazing experience. I am sure it will be the same for you.
rach--Ouch, that's a tough situation you're in with your sisters... I agree with Milla that you should face and acknowledge your feelings, really deal with each aspect of it, and then it will be easier for you to... I wouldn't say let it go, but you'll be able to face your sisters and feel happy for them, instead of feeling overwhelmed by sadness and jealousy. You really have to acknowledge these feelings, and know that it's ok to feel that way, and know that your sisters understand that while you're happy for them, you're not in a place at the moment where you can celebrate with them yet. You'll get there, it just takes time.... We'll help you get there!
hannah--I think it's awesome that you're focusing on reconnecting with your DH. My DF used to complain that he felt like a sperm donor, and I was much less inclined to want to do anything other than when I was fertile.... and he was right, but that's just the place I was in at the time. I've learned to try to spend as much time with him when I'm NOT fertile, that way he's more likely to want to participate when I am! If the temps right, I hope you've got your BD'ing shoes on!
issy--Yay for your lunar cycle being in synch with your menstrual cycle! That means you've got a very high probability for conception this month!
Hey fifi! Sorry, I just got your post! I was in the middle of my post when my DS woke up a little bit ago, and I had stepped away from the computer. Didn't get your messages till I sent my post through. Are you still around?
