WTH - fabulous news on the scan, and congrats on this small reprieve from the first trimester craziness! I am so glad you got to see that heartbeat and I wouldn't be too concerned too much over bub's size. My ds measured a week behind when I thought we were 7w, and by 12w he had caught up 5 of those days! Big and make sure you get some sleep tonight...
AFM - nervously awaiting my first scan on Friday. Have convinced myself everything can't possibly be ok (stupid I know and I have now banned myself from having any thoughts whatsoever until further notice). We found out last night that our close friends are expecting their second bub 6 days before us which will be so great if everything works out for us. Terrible though - my first thought was "oh no, that's even more pressure for things to go ok". I said this to dh and he told me to have some positivity - insensitive bugger! I said I can't wait to be positive, but am too scared to do so until Friday and then unleashed hormonal deranged woman on him (hehe)
Jen - to answer your question - I can't wait to put up a ticker if all's well. Have done countless test ticker runs already Good luck on the bd logistics - bloody wooden floors!
Thanks ladies for your continued support of me and of each other. I can't thank you enough and have no idea how I would be if I didn't have this lovely place to come to
Sorry - have gone on a bit! I have been reading your posts and I just KNOW there is a around the corner...
I just came back from giving my little niece a bath. She is soooo cute. She's 19 months old at the moment and is such a little cheeky monkey. She even showed me her monkey face (that I taught her last week to my SIL's disgust ) to prove her monkey-ness. After the bath she told everyone that "Disdy is my favorite now". Ummm, yeah, I'm "disdy" . Still can't say my name quite right, but if I'm her fave then I forgive her!
Oh, and a funny story from last night... I hoped into bed with DH last night and complained that I was over-analysing symptoms. He agreed but told me he was sure that we're pregnant this month and we just have to be patient. He then let me know that he'd been having some pregnancy symptoms too, LOL! Apparently his BB's are definitely tender, but he hasn't had excessive urination yet
the slumber party with her friends went well, and she has her cousin over tonight, so she has had an awesome 10th birthday. We even counted down till the time she was born and sang happy birthday again to her!!
KL - You went out to dinner to celebrate my DD's birthday? How nice of you!
KL, Tina, Mollycat - When are you POAS??????
OK. Nana's off to bed now. Chat to you all tomorrow.
Joey, I hope your DD liked the food we cooked and ate for her! And the apple crumble we ate for dessert for her
Sticking to my "even DPO days" rule, I'll be POAS tomorrow morning even though I know that it is to early to get a BFP. It's my reward for not POAS this morning
Good morning ladies...still no AF...just the smudge of pink that sent me into panic yesterday. I am still feeling yucky and my lower back is pretty achy so I imagine it's coming...just not as quick as Ithought so Krystie I am 12 DPO for now...
WTH!!!
Issy...hey gurlie!
Thanks for you well wishes gurlies...I'm hoping that by some slim chance I was waaay wrong about AF...doubtful BUT hopeful
1. You sign a 2-year contract and pay $60 more per month just to have wireless internet service for a 5 day camping trip!
2. Your significant other walks in on you checking the position of your cervix, and actually gets turned on from it!
3. You resort to becoming an adult film industry advocate in order to "keep things alive" during those fertile times!
4. You read, post, and then refresh to read again in case you missed a post while posting!
5. You dream of being the first to post in the new thread! :sleep:
6. You feel like you are wasting urine when you don't pee on a stick!
7. You see abbreviations in everyday life and try to work out what they mean in the TTC world (eg. DVD must stand for something like "Doing the vjay vjay dance"...)
8. When you get excited about choosing a new ticker....oh the choices!!!!!
9. You actually think in emoticons and abbreviations...and occasionally call your husband DH....and he says, "what the hell did you call me????".
10. And the biggest one of all....DH actually asks if it was a light or dark "BFP" (not positive test) and whether or not you used "FMU" to test!!!! (all in abbreviations...)
11. When getting a coverline makes you so happy, you feel as though you won the lottery!
12. When you look forward to going to bed just so you can wake up in the morning and add a new temp!
13. You say you are taking a break from bb and then spend 24 hours trying to do anything but log on, including cleaning, washing, ironing, shopping, all the while saying to yourself don't do it don't do it don't do it before finally breaking down and getting your bb fix...
14. You drag yourself out of bed at 6 am every morning even though you're still tired, just to have "quiet alone time" on BB while the kids are still sleeping!
15. You get the butterflies while logging on to read posts!
16. You keep your computer on all day long so you know as soon as someone has made a post!
17. You know you are addicted to BB when you go to put the date on something and you end up writing 9 DPO!
18. You're whole day is ruined just because you can't log onto BB, and you feel like you're going to go insane without it!
19. You climb a slide and drive up the tallest hills at your camp spot trying to find a signal so your laptop will work!
20. You bring your laptop to the drive-in with you so you can check on posts in between shows!
21. You check your chart at least every half hour, because what if somehow it changed?
22. You wake up at 2:30 in the morning to use the toilet, and contemplate logging on to see if there's any good news that can't wait until morning!
23. You wake up at 3 a.m. and have to pee so bad, but you know you'll wake up at 6, so you hold it for three more hours so that you don't ruin your temp!
24. You toss and turn every morning waiting for it to be time to take your temp!
25. When DH comments that he's your family, not the girls on BB! (What does he know, anyway? lol...)
26. You sign on from your mobile phone to let off some steam!
27. You post 3 times in a row, and twice was just because you ran out of smilies!!!
28. When you're reading and typing posts in your dreams!
29. When sitting on the couch watching TV, you position yourself so that you can see the computer screen so you know as soon as a message pops up! Not only that, but you end up watching the computer screen more than the TV!
30. You run to check posts during an ad break of a show you're watching, then an hour later you realize you missed the end of your show!
31. When new smilies make you smilie!!
32. When you stop a movie during the sex scene because it reminds you to check BB!
33. When you burn your dinner because you're too busy checking your posts! D'oh!
34. When you begin stalking people's charts and keeping up with their BD stats!
35. When you've got more than one (3) fertility charts--just to make sure you really know what's going on with your cycle!
36. When you feel jealous that your kids are on your computer taking up your BB time!!

First, WTH, big congrats on seeing that beautiful little I'm SO relieved for you! Now take it easy and keep those thoughts positive!! Has your dr. put you on any bed rest?
mollycat--Yay, great results on the Prog.! Seems like we're always just waiting for something, doesn't it?
Niadla--Sorry you've been down... Sending some big hugs to cheer you up!
tina--I'm praying so hard for your BFP this weekend!!!
tutmae--Good luck with the BT results! Can't wait to see some lines on your chart!!
joey--The same thing happened to me last night with losing my post! It's SO frustrating!! At least my post was pretty short, as I was only responding to 2 posts--still annoying, nonetheless! I've been told that I should copy each post before I post it so that doesn't happen--unfortunately, I always seem to forget! Most of the time it goes thru fine, but it's always the times I forget to copy that I end up losing the post (it figures!)!!
chappas--Good luck with the temping and charting! You probably think we're kidding when we tell you how addicting it is--but we're NOT! Watch out, you may become the next addicted BB member!
to Easha & pbstar! Lots of coming your way!!
jenushka--Woo hoo, 1 more sleep till your scan! Can't wait to hear all about it! Looking forward to seeing that ticker!!
smilanatu--Sounds like AF is up to her evil tricks Kick her a$$, smi!!
Krystie, (or should I say Auntie Disdy--so cute!)--Eww, an 11 hour shift, huh? Don't they realize they're keeping you from your work here at BB? I mean, what, do they think people need to actually work for a living? Let them know that jen said they're cutting into your stalking time--I'm sure they'll understand! When are you going to change your sig--it's supposed to say, "Going to Cali to meet jen"! lol... Good luck with POAS--I expect you to be the first BFP of July--no pressure, though!
AFM... Temp wasn't quite what I expected it would be, but watery CM started yesterday, so O's gotta be close! Supposed to O today... didn't think DF would come through with the goods last night, but what a guy, competition calls...
Jen.... see I just cant do that competition thing... DH is not competitive... DH is a stubborne thing... hes more likely to do NOTHING... just to prove some point he will make up in his head........I grew up with my mother telling me I m the most stubborne person she had ever met... and she was pretty much on the mark however I prefer now to call it determined..... BUT I certainly met my match with DH.... in comparison to him, i m easy going.... there is just no room for 2 stubborne people in this house... With him... tell him something he will do the opposite...... Just becasue
Having said that.... After time you learn how to ummm work with that
smilanatu... Ohhh hun... you are about to go through exactly what I just went through the last few weeks... only way I can put it is to say that it suck.... big time. Only suggestion I can give would be to be true to yourself... allow your feelings to just be what they are.... and do it just One Day At A Time..... its they only way to get through it. I dont normally refer people to my blogs but this time I will because I have a feeling it will help you.
Just deal with it in a way that is true to you..... cry... yell... scream... throw things... whatever.. one day at a time.
You REALLY have to find a way to let that last pregnancy go. You wouldn't be
38 weeks because your not. You aren't pregnant with that baby any more. That baby is gone. You have to let go.I honestly think this may be bothering you SO bad too because for once in your life Sheli can't MAKE something happen you have no control over whether you get pregnant or not. You can try but, it's not something you can force to happen. I am not in any way saying that's the only reason you want it so bad, because of the control part of it. I know it is WAY deeper then that but, I am just saying that is in there too. Have you thought about it that way? I mean asked your self why do I want another baby SO bad?
Oh, smilanatu... People need to learn to open their ears and keep their mouths shut! It's amazing that the ones you think will offer the most support and understanding, are the ones that hurt us the most! I'm so sorry for her lack of support! She's obviously never had a m/c, so she shouldn't even offer any advice as to how you would/should cope with it! Go sock her up! ( j/k) Sending an unlimited supply of just for you!!
