Firstly Mel on a positive OPK!!!!!! It is helpful to stay prone for as long as possible to give those swimmers the best chance of getting promptly to their destination! Some women just prop up their buttocks a bit - you can use a pillow or even just your fists under your hips for 10 -15mins. It helps to get the "goodstuff" up on your cervix. Keep DTD for the next couple of nights. Most women will ovulate between 12-24 hours after they surge however sometimes it can be up to 48 hours after. I am hoping and praying that this is your month too Mel... Wouldn't it be lovely if we both hit the mark this month and could journey the pregnancy trail together. I hope you have a lovely time today for your Dad's birthday.
Bailey - is it nearing o time for you too???
Lynn - I am hoping that this is your month too - wouldn't it be lovely to see 4 in here in the next few weeks? Are you having a follie scan on Wednesday (that would be cd13 wouldn't it?)? I am sending all of the "ripe follicle" and "healthy eggs meeting healthy sperm" vibes that I can muster...
Spring, Hi to you and Lil Spring. As I type away here all of you Sydney girls will be meeting for lunch - I hope you all have a lovely time...
Well, yesterday I had soooo much pelvic congestion with lots of ovulatory type pains on both the left and right sides. I felt incredibly uncomfortable. Today I have none of that so I am assuming ovulation occured last night. Of course we have been getting jiggy with it so all we can do now is hope and pray that we caught those eggs!!!! We are spending the day in the garden - next weekend is my Evie's 3rd birthday so we are sprucing things up a bit! It's beautiful weather here and I must get back to it...
Mel - It is criminal that nathan has not yet got to number one, but I think with you and I now on his fan base, we can spread the word and he should go triple platinum by christmas. Actually I might buy you the cd so you and your DH can set the mood for your BD'g tonight.... Yay on the + opk. This will be your month, I am sure.
Lotsa to you!
Flowerchild - Hoping his guys caught your guys! Lotsa to you too!
Dream, Spring and Lynn - You lot have probably heard enough from me for today, so I'll come back in later!
Mel - you haven't been in here for a while so I hope that means you have been busy Lots of positive thinking! I do the pillow thing under the butt after DTD, hasn't worked so far but this month it will Sending you heaps and heaps of Hope you had a nice day today for your dad's birthday.
Deb - I so much that you caught that eggie.I hope you enjoyed the day in the garden.
What about the biggest loser!!! That is not fair that my 2 favourite teams are in the bottom 2! I love this show - it gives me motivation. I want to lose 9kg in a week like Munnalita did - I am so motivated this week.......................I think I need to be after what I ate today
Lynn - Me and D-almost-H have been very upset with the Biggest Loser. They are my fave teams too, I so wanted Munnalita to get the boot. She is a pain. Though 9 kilo's!! How the hell can you lose 9 kilos in a week? I wonder who will go. Monotone Laura let the team down again, and she still showed no emotion. Well, I think that is enough *****ing from me for now.
Chelle & Jo - Welcome to our little group, it is sad that you have to be here but you will gain alot of support and, as Bailey said, I hope you graduate really soon.
Bailey - No it didnt get me in the mood... I have been waiting at the mailbox for the CD you were sending, hehe! CD14, your getting closer! Too funny on the censoring, nice one I am proud! LOL
Deb - Its a waiting game for both of us now, I hate this time. As you all already know I am the most impatient person on earth and I am not even past the (hehe) stage yet and already want to test... I am refraining though cause I reckon DH would get me locked up if I did! It would be so nice if we could all graduate this month.
Lynn - How are you feeling? I am at work this week. I was so bummed that I couldnt sleep in this morning, although it was probably good for me not to be sitting around the house crying as I have been lately.
Spring - I feel so out of the loop on all of this BL stuff, I dont watch it so have no idea who all of these people are... damn Foxtel! Have you heard anything from MIL or is she behaving herself so far? Hope your sick belly is gone, I would be only too happy to catch your sickness
Nat - I assume from the other girls posts that your Grandma's funeral was this morning - to you, I hope you are all ok. Probably totally emotionally and physically exhausted.
Well yesterday was a nice day, very tiring and I as soon as the kids got picked up I fell asleep on the couch for 2 hours! Got sunburt (will I ever learn?) so pretty much with all the freckles I have been getting lately technically we could call it a tan LOL.
I started work at my 2 month temp job today, everyone was really nice to me and at the end of the day the supervisor asked me if I was interested in permanent work, geez I have only been there a day! But I said no. Just my luck though, a lady walked in and said "can I have everyones attention please, so and so (cant remember the girls name) has an announcement to make" and then this girl says "Oh I am pregnant, and I cant keep it a secret anymore cause I am starting to show"... Well do you think I didnt want to get up and punch her in the nose! I kept thinking why did she pick today to make her announcement, why couldnt she have done it last week when I wasnt there? Anyway, I managed to control my emotions and just sat there tapping away on my computer and trying to ignore everyone gushing over her. A lady did ask me if I had any little ones and I just said no, it is easier that way I think.
Enough of that, you girls sound like you caught up on Sunday and had a lovely day... I am so envious, I will definitely have to talk DH into a weekend away in Sydney some time soon - I am pretty sure he wouldnt mind if we went away and I ditched him for you gals LOL.
Hi to anyone I have missed.
Take care all,
Mel

Hey Bailey: I think the more you reflect on the things we did in the lead up to losing Asha and Harrison, there are two many simularities between what we did and said for it to be a coincidence. The same feeling of dread just can't be ignored, as mothers, we need to learn to trust our instincts.
Mel: MIL has steered clear of me thank God. I am sorry about the announcement at work today, but you should have been proud of yourself for holding it together. I hope you enjoy the next few months there.
OMG!! I can't believe Greg and Mel are out of BL!!! Nooooooooo. I am going to miss them. But did you see how much weight they have lost since they have left? My god, if that isn't motivation, I don't know what is. I have done 2 big walks today so I feel ok. Tennis was called off.....again! Stupid rain, shouldn't complain should I, we do need the rain.
Bailey - yeah Wed for the next BT. Hopefully some good news will come out of that. What time is the support group on? Is it at Rozelle?
Spring - glad you got the card. I just had to send you one now that you are out and proud! I hope you are feeling a bit better today.
Mel - LMAO at your tan! That is too funny. I'm sorry about the announcement at work. It is everywhere isn't it! (except here ) Every tv show and every ad has a baby or preg person - has it always been like that or are they just being cruel all of a sudden! That would be awesome if you came to Sydney for our next catch up. Bailey is the event co-ordinator for the next catch up.
Nat - still thinking of you
Deb - hope you are starting to cook a little eggie
Chelle - I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your journey is very short here. We are planning on graduating by the end of March, so it sounds as thought you may be joining us. Hope you catch the eggie very soon
I forgot to mention in my previous post. DH and I have been having a few "discussions" lately about Cooper's ashes. As you know he is at home with us at the moment but we have a garden for him at the crematorium. Well DH thinks he should go up there but I am just not ready to let my little boy go. DH wants to lay him to rest, which I totally understand and want to do as well. I explained to DH that I still go into his room every day and hold him, and kiss him and talk to him and if he goes in his garden I won't be able to hold him again (only in my heart and dreams). I told DH that my empty arms ache so much that I just need to hold him now and that perhaps when our next bubba comes along, Cooper can 'meet' them and then our next bubba can help us lay Cooper to rest. He has agreed to this.
So today I took Cooper to the crematorium because he was in a temporary urn and I wanted him to be put in his bronze urn which has a plaque on it. I was going to wait until my mum was home tomorrow but now that DH and I decided we would put him in his bronze urn I just couldn't wait another day. It was hard going by myself but I know that Cooper would be proud of how strong I was. I even showed him his garden.
So my boy is home, in his perfect little urn and maybe I can stop crying and stressing for a bit as to when he will be going into his garden and can enjoy our time together at home
Lynn, it must have taken so much strength to go to the crematorium today... I am proud of you, Cooper is proud of you and you should be proud of yourself
Chelle - Welcome to our little gang, hopefully you too will join us all when we upgrade to the pregnancy thread.
Lynn - Wow, what a day you have had. I think you and DH made a good decision to keep Cooper home with you for a little while. I have Asha with us too, we are not sure if that is where she will stay or if we will take her to the garden at the cemetary, but home is where we need her right now. I am happy that you have made that decision. It must have been tough to go on your own, but I am sure that your little angel is so proud of you. The meeting is on at 10:30, I am pretty sure, but I am catching up with my friend tomorrow and I will double check, and it is at the Sids and Kids office at Rozelle hospital.
Mel - Sorry, but I decided to keep the Nathan cd. Well, I am coming up for ovulation, so I thought I needed the soft n sultry sound of his voice to help us get in the mood. Lol, maybe I can burn you a copy. I am sorry you had a $hitty day at work. I can't believe that you had to sit through that on your first day. Well, it will be your turn soon, so don't let it get you down.
Spring - I know, I always think back to the things I was thinking in the last month or so before Asha died. I knew something was different. I never had those feelings with DS, and I hope to god I never have those feelings again. DP and I have talked a few times about the circimstances, and I guess we are just trying to make ourselves feel a little better, but we have decided that the way she left us was probably the best way in the whole horrible situation. It sounds weird, but as I was telling you yesterday, three days later I would have been having my next ultrasound, and they would have picked up the fluid in her body, and that her lungs were too little and that she was never going to make it, so we would have had to make the decision to either induce me, and watch her struggle to breathe on her own and suffer, or just wait for her to go in utero. I can't imagine being able to cope in either situation, so I am grateful that it happened how it did, iykwim. It actually makes me so mad that i should say that I am 'grateful' but I just mean that it could have been worse. I have to tell myself that. And maybe as you said, they waited for us to be ready, well as ready as you could ever be. I just miss her so much.
Nat - I hope you and you family are doing ok after today

Yay on the + opk. This will be your month, I am sure.

Lots of positive thinking! I do the pillow thing under the butt after DTD, hasn't worked so far but this month it will 
CD14, your getting closer! Too funny on the censoring, nice one I am proud! LOL
