What a difference 12 hours make. Been awake most of the night with back pain and been thinking back to those awful stabbing pains that had me doubled up around implantation. Wandering of this could end up eptopic? Also just had a phone call from pharmacy telling me my progesterone has been discontinued so heading down to docs to get some answers. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid!
Fingers crossed everything's ok Deaks!
Well lexi did it bless her, 6 beautiful puppies, 3 black boys, 1 black girl and 2 fox red girls!
Here they all are http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/s...y/91e25093.jpg
We are all shattered but what an experience! I'm of to work now zzzzzzzz
Deaks when you go to your Dr.s explain how you are feeling and push for a 6 week scan maybe? Hope your not worrying yourself too much.
Kell so sweet! Are your boys excited?
Just back from docs. He made a phone call to the hospital while i was there and they said at the moment the best thing to do is get bloods done today and again on thursday to check levels are rising properly. Then i can go for a scan next week if there is still concern or straight to a&e if pain gets worse. They dont seem to think being on progesterone will delay a miscarriage by much so that has set my mind at rest and they definately want me to stay on the crinone which i have managed to track down at another pharmacy. At least i have a plan now...
Did anyone else have lower back ache in early pg? i only had it with my oct chemical, dont remember having it with the boys.
Kell, gorgeous pups there!
Deaks - I had lower back pain with 3 of my pregnancies, in fact it was my only symptom! I really, really hope that everything is fine. The life time of worrying really does start the moment you see those two lines doesn't it?! Have you read the 'trouble with timing' thread on here? Perhaps reading that will put your mind at ease and help you to realise that you have as good a chance of a girl as everybody else out there (and you already know I conceived mine on O day!).

Hiya, Deaks I had awful back ache with DS1 it was agony! I had a progesterone shot which effects the muscles so hope its that.
Ive been ill with an awful cough and going hot and cold, had to sleep with the window open and in just a vest, went to drs and she said chest is clear but was so painful, then I got out and sobbed like a baby in the car park, very embarrassing! Worried my fever has caused damage to the baby too so will ask at the scan tomorrow
Aww Kell, those little doggies are just adorable, well done Lexi :-))
Deaks, hope you're ok and get some answers soon, try not to worry yourself too much x
aww kell your pups are adorable.. are they labs?
chocolate - hope you start to feel well soon. and GL with the scan tomorrow x
Kell - are the labradors?? My mum is looking for a black female lab puppy!!!
Deaks - FX for your betas hope they come back nice and high and double fantastically x
Getting nervous now :S luckily my BF is coming down tomorrow so we are meeting up she is giving me a scan pep talk lol then just got to get through till weds 1pm......eeeeeeeeeee
Chocolate - hope you feel better soon x FX for the scan dont worry a fever shouldnt harm your baby x
Zanacal, thanks for that, makes a very interesting read and does put my mind at rest!
Charlie, will be keeping my fx for you on wed, i so hope you get your pink dream! Glad you have a friend here tomorrow to help pass the time!
Chocolate, enjoy your scan tomorrow too hun. Sorry you are feeling rough, but bubs is lovely and protected in there so im sure all fine. I remember getting a horrific sickness bug with fever for a few days and was petrified about the baby but the doctor was very relaxed about it.
Kell, have you got any takers for the pups? will you keep one for yourself?
Potential house move starting to feel very real now! Agent coming to photograph our house tomorrow. Am i mad thinking of moving to the countryside? Ive always wanted to but am aware the grass is always greener!
charlie are you going to find out or thinking of doing the paper and envelope? xxx
OMG deaks sooooo totally jealous if all goes ahead can i live with you ;) FX for you hun sounds amazing
I will definitely be getting the sex written down not sure if i will read it lol x I keep thinking back to my potty shot at 13wks i dont think i have a chance at pink i cant imagine a scan with no obvious willy! God why cant you choose lol
Just keep remembering my friend who had a 15 week scan and there was a massive sticky outey nub that she was convinced was a willy.... 6 weeks later though and it was all girl!Quote:

How amazing will that be! Mind you i have no doubt we will end up in a bidding war and even if we do get it, it means living in a caravan for 3-6 months pregnant with 2 boisterous boys and a massive dog!!!! OH GOD!Quote:

Lexi is doing great and the pups are too, noisy little things, they sound like newborn babies grunting lol not sure how much sleep we will get worrying about them and getting them to feed but it'll all be worth it!
Deaks yeh I think we are going to keep one of the fox red girls. Wish we had the space for more tho :S
I'm off to bed I think, 3 hours kip in 48 hours isn't enough!
I do think the people on grand designs who live out of Caravans with kids during their builds are saints. It would drive me beyond stir crazy then you see the fabulous homes they create but those months or years living in caravan are clearly a great trade off for the final product!Quote:

Thanks for all the hugs girls xxx Annoyed me that a couple of people put girl on my FB pics as I have said in the most direct way that's it's a boy....just can't bring myself to say I have had it confirmed...silly I know!!
Charlie ~ Are you asking them to write the sex down? Have a nice day with your friend :) Do most of your friends know you would like a girl? Does your DH want to find out?
Deaks ~ I get back ache in early pg so I'm sure things are fine but having had 3 m/c's I totally understand your concern. Be great if you can get an early scan. Great to hear plans with the house are going well :) Where abouts is the house?
That's really strange that you mentioned the CK cowboys theme as I have been watching the changing bag on eBay :) I love it too :) Much prefer the Yummy Mummy change bag with cupcakes but don't think that would look right with a boy ;)
This baby will be sharing with DS3 ( my other two boys share and love it) that was one of the reasons why I really wanted four so DS3 had someone to share with, I shared with my brother and have fab memories and didn't want him to miss out. Not sure they'll all appreciate it when they are teeny boppers bringing their girlfriends home but they're not getting their hands on my office! (fourth bedroom) ;)
We are going to decorate DS3's room before baby arrives. So I will be look out for the wallpaper :)
Chocolate ~ hope you feel better soon
Kell ~ lovely pics of the pups
Petal ~ Those sad moments never get any easier do they :( my friend was round today with her DD who is 3, the same age as DS3 and they played lovely....She had brought her pushchair with her and they played mummy and daddies :) melted my heart.....but I also felt heartbroken that my boys will never experience having a sister, that upsets me just as much as me never having a daughter...the things they will miss out on too :(
When my friend left I heard her saying 'come on or we'll be late for ballet'.....what I would have done to say those words.
How's your little man doing? How many weeks is he now? X
Inglewood ~ How are you doing?
Yeah I noticed that about the sodium when I had a few of my foods put in, I managed to make my page public, check it out. Don't worry about the misspelled words, every time I put in a food it said it was already there and I don't think the nutrients were right on them...Quote:

Who would like to meet at Wells over the summer???
pebmcp6, I would add some sweets like Skittles or Weight Watchers desserts or cookies.
Another good one might be: Lurpak Spreadable Lighter Butter Unsalted. Just calories and fat, no sodium or protein.
As for myfitnesspal: You can also change your goals to reflect your true goals a bit more. Go into My Home --> Goals. If you click on Change Goals and then Custom. There you can change your calories, sodium and also change the carbs, fat, protein ratio if desired. Just thought it might be helpful as the fat and protein allowance looks a bit high.
I dont know where Wells is but count me in! there's no way i'm missing out on a smog meet :D
Babymad ~ saw the u/s pictures on fb and he truly is a littel cutie!! got little chubby cheeks already :) I truly hope it starts to get a bit easier soon for you.. you have such a beautiful family and no doubt he will be just as cute as your other boys! ((hugs))
Kell ~ congrats on the puppies, how sweet!!! hows the mama doing?
Chocolate ~ hope you feel better soon! don't worry hun your baby will be fine!
Charlieispy ~ good luck on sunday i will be wearing pink for you!!! i remember how nerve wrecking it was when i went for my scan, so you're very lucky to have such a good friend to come and give you a pre scan pep talk, hope you 2 have a lovely day today :)
Pinga ~ hope you're doing ok! what kidney condition is it that you've got if you don't mind me asking?
Maybepink3 ~ How are you doing hun? we're all here if you need to vent!
Inglewood ~ Hows the twin bump today? :p have you got some recent bump pictures? :)
Indigoviolet ~ how are you hun?
Maybebaby ~ hows that blood pressure?
Deaks ~ how exciting with the house! good luck :D
Threelittlemen ~ how are you doing? are you all feeling better now?
hello to everyone else!! :) my pink plastic (driving license) came in the post yesterday :D i can't stop staring at it lol i also drove to newcastle this weekend which was a very interesting experience :p
Morning!
There's a Well's fairly near me Bristol way but i'm thinking it's not that one?
Babymad I have the CK Cowboy nappy bag and got a lady on ebay to make me matching buggy liners. When I had ds2.
DS1 also has a lovely handmade CK cowboys quilt on his bed and I have vintage Rodeo posters from US framed on his wall!
Chocolate how are you feeling? Hope a lot better.
Sunset sounds like your enjoying driving!
Kell did you get much sleep looking after those puppies?
I would love to come to a meet up! Just the problem of a few 1000 miles in the way :D Ah well... maybe when we're back in the UK.
That CK cowboy print is really nice. Oh and Babymad - if you like the cupcake bag... you buy the cupcake bag! :D When I had DS2 I had this lovely waterproof fabric with flowers over it and I made a change mat which I use!!! I made my own nappy bag and I guess its quite boyish colours.... but I figure - the nappy bag is yours... not theirs... so it can be as girly as you want!
Kell - very cute puppies - almost makes me want a dog... but I'm afraid I'm a cat person 100%. :)
Sunset - I've got Polycystic Kidney Disease (basically cysts on my kidneys and liver) - they increase as I get older and may cause kidney failure. My Dad passed away from kidney failure but he was 80 so he had a good long life. There are different severities of PKD and I believe my family has the milder version. Just got to look after my BP and my kidney function. Nobody has ever heard of it but its apparently more common than cystic fibrosis or downs syndrome.
Got a sick little man today so been exhausting. He won't be put down and just wants cuddles while DS1 keeps getting really jealous of all the attention the other one is getting. I hate it when they're sick!!!!
Hi all,
Babymad, i saw that on your fb and thought it seemed a bit insensitive since you have hinted at bubs being a boy several times. People just dont think...thats why you have us :)
I love love love anything in the cowboy print. Here is my ds1's bedroom in it though i couldnt get a very detailed pic as cant zoom out enough. But it makes me smile every time i go in there. Cath kidston has crap wallpaper for girls... ha ha! But i agree with pinga, the bag is yours not the bubs, so buy what you like! I always go for a cath kidston spotty bag and then fill it with the stuff baby needs instead of an actual changing bag. Attachment 1435
Oh and i am definately up for a meet! Not sure how i would explain it to my dh that im meeting my 'online friends' but i can convince him to do anything! When shall we do it?
Chocolate, am thinking of you and your scan today...exciting!
Sunset, loved your blonde moment on fb...i've so done that and im not blonde!
Charlie, how are the nerves today...hope you're having a great time with you friend!
Maybe, hows the blood pressure?
Hi to everyone else!
Just had pics done of my house so it should be online by the end of the week! Have to keep reminding me that i will love my new house even more once its done but i do love this one too! Babymad, the house we want is near Hertford and Welwyn, not far from here so if we get it, i can keep my circle of friends going.
Not getting backache anymore :)
Hey everyone, scan went well bubs was very cute! Here are my pics but probably too early for good nub guesses as 11+3 :-)
Feel on the mend, chest pains have gone just a heavy cold now but feel so much better thankfully.
Will catch up with all the posts after my nub and skull obsessing lol
Deaks, that is one gorgeous bedroom! Love it :D
I agree with the changing bag - it's your bag so buy whatever you like. It's not like the baby will be carrying it!
chocolate - I don't have a strong boy or girl opinion either way but those pictures do look a lot like my sister's baby girl photos and the nub looks very girly - just a bit too early!
Thanks Zanacal, I dont really know what to look for and is indecisive anyway so have no idea, will prob. get a 14 week scan though.
I also agree about you buy a change bag in a style you like for you, not for a boy or girl design to match the baby lol
Hope DS1 perks up, weve all been ill and its hard when they all want your attentionQuote:
