Bit better today thanks. I copped a bit of a serve last night from DH, one that was semi-deserved. I was having a sook about not being UTD etc, and he pretty much shut me down and told me to stop putting time limits on everything and that dates shouldn;t mean anything when we are working towards the same goal etc. He thinks that my rush and the pressure to get this baby this year has put too much stress and pressure on me and that can't be helping the TTC. Sooo hate to admit it but he is so right. (But don't anyone tell him that) SO now I am going to try to relax and just let it happen - well as long as it happens this month I hate it when he is right...luckily that isn't very often.
Lynn - Thanks for your email today..it's nice to know people are thinking of you when you are feeling sooky. That is great news on your levels, I am not all that sure what all those numbers mean, but I get the gist of it. Let's hope it's more good news on Sunday.
Spring - Not long now til hubby back for good. It is so true that absense makes the heart grow fonder. It's funny cos DH and I travel apart a couple of times a year, and after a week or so, I always forget how much he *****s me and I turn him onto some kind of demi-god in my mind....lol, then we re-unite and I remember! Ha ha, I am just joking though. It's great that your boss is being so fantastic. Have you told the rest of the friends and family yet or are you trying to keep that hidden a little while more? How's things wilth MIL and AIL?
Tommysmum - Ummm...stupid question, is a vaginal scan one up the well...vagina?? Sorry, I've never heard of that, is that because bub's is still so small? Wow, and here I was worried about sticking a little thermometer in there. Lol, I am sure it was all worth it to see your little one. I don;t think I will go to playgroup on tuesday either, it is too exhausting holding all of the bikes and toys for DS that he doesn;t want, but doesn't want anyone else to play with. Cheeky bugger.
Heybacko - Yeah, after one day of temping, I am so over it. The stupid thing has hardly any instructions and it keeps giving me the reading in farenheit! Not only that, but I just realised it only tells you anything only after you have ovulated, which won't help me too much when my cycles are chaos. I have bought a truckload of opks, so I am just going to wait for those and see how they go.
Mel - Tested yet?? Hope you are well. I am trying to get on a two day training course for work in Melbourne in a couple of months, so maybe if it all comes together we can meet up and compare pregnant bellies?
Bailey - you crack me up about the vaginal scan and thermometre LOL! Yeah the temping is a pain especially because it tells you after it happens but at least you will know when you are ovulating. Doing this with the OPK's will help.
I know exactly how you feel about putting a time on this TTC journey. I thought I would have my second bubba by Christmas. Last Christmas was so $%^& and this one well it won't be as bad but I still won't have my earth baby. It is so hard not to stress when you want something so bad and you want it by yesterday.
Hey Lynn, thanks for understanding what I mean about the whole christmas thing. It's weird, but I just felt like the last one was so fake, so I just wanted it to be better this time. Not just for myself, but for DH and my mum and especially DS. I hate the thought of him having a memory of me just laying around crying all chrissy. In wanting this so much, I have just put too much pressure on us, so I have let it go, and honestly, since accepting that it's not going to happen this year, (stupid golden pig!) I am feeling a little better. Well at least there will be some new bubs amoung us by then, and ours will be in here Janruary right!! Oops, here comes that pressure again. Did I just read that you only have 3 days til ovulation?? Well, go to bed and get some done!! Wow, you and DH will have a busy weekend huh?
Christmas was fake last year wasn't it! It was an out-of-body experience for me. I think I sat there crying for most of the day and when I wasn't crying I was sleeping.
I hate the stupid golden pig!!! Sorry for telling everyone about this earlier on in the year! Yes January will be our month of lots of screaming, pooing babies!!!
My ticker is a US one so it clicks over a bit early. I am CD11 tomorrow. I think I was kidding myself when I put down 14 days till ovulation. I have never been that!!!! I am just wishing. I thought with the injections that might happen but based on my levels yesterday I'm not sure it will be 14 but lets hope it is sooner than 40 like last cycle!!!!!! My levels are better than last cycle so that is something The good thing about being monitored is they can tell you when to go home and bed so you don't have to do it forever!!!!!!!!!!
Lynn - good luck with the BT tomorrow and i hope those allergies clear up - i have the same problem and it looks like i have burns on my arms. It sounds like you are having progress this month so watch out !!! Have fun at the wedding tonight - hope weather clears up - i have just changed my outfit for the wedding i am going to, to pants - i think it is just going to be too cold otherwise.
Also Happy 5 month Birthday to Cooper - hope you are having a little party with all the other angels.
Spring - I can't believe you have kept your secret for so long - how do you suck it in ? Your boss sounds so understanding - you are very lucky. 6 weeks to go until DH comes home hey - well just think how far you will be then - getting very close.
Guys - i don't think i will be able to make it tomorrow - it looks like i will be having lunch with the MIL and friends.....have a nice time whatever you decide to do.
Bailey - i hope you are ok. If DH is noticing that you are stressed about getting pg then you probably are and i think he is right (unfortunately). Hey it will happen this month and at xmas time you can have everyone serving you lunch as you will be too big to move around. Golden pig - really ! I mean i know it is good luck but to be associated with a pig might not be the best thing. And the vag-scan -yes they do it cause it is so small and they get the best results but you can also have them throughout pgncy. I had a couple with Tommy when they couldn't see what they wanted to - i have another in 2 weeks - yippee !
Heybacko - little shopper didn't get a thing....i went to the drycleaners instead and i called it "shopping"...that could be why she played up on me all day yesterday - little rat ! Wow - Lake Taupo - i don't think i have seen pic's (i probably have but don't know it) and i am sure it will be nice - good luck with the weather (it is crap here) and hope you have a gorgeous weekend.
GUYS - i personally think it is torture to write what you are going to cook ! I mean soup and damper - i could eat it for breakfast ! If you are going to tell about your cooking expeditions could you pls send a doggy bag to me. Thanks. I have a new kitchen in which i can't use cause it needs the final touches - i look at it every day and my brand new oven (90cm) i can't wait to use it. Instead i have an oven which can take 2 hours to crisp up pre-cooked pumpkin; needs a kick sometimes to show the right temperature; and is just totally f***d.
Flowerchild - i hope you are doing well and this month is the month for you - any signs yet ???
Mel - i hope you are doing well too and that your body is getting on track. Take it easy.
Hello to everyone else - hope you are all doing well.
Might not be on for a day or two. Take care and enjoy the w/end.
Must go and pick up this dry cleaning (DH suit for wedding - ergh) !
I hate it when he is right...luckily that isn't very often.
done!! Wow, you and DH will have a busy weekend huh?
The good thing about being monitored is they can tell you when to go home and bed so you don't have to do it forever!!!!!!!!!!
