Uk SMOG Wannabes ~ January

[zanacal]

{hugs} maybe - 3 kids is hard (but so is 2 and so is 1!) but it's completely outweighed by the three gorgeous little boys you'll have in your life. I can't tell you what a blessing my DS3 is. 3Pink1Blue started a thread about turning a breach baby this week - did you see it?

[nini]

Not a good day here. I can hardly breath right now due to dave his head in my chest I think he is streched out full length. Kicking me in cervix I had to stop and gasp in pain picking my son up from school I can't belive my waters didn't go. I feel so yuk then my friend who three kids told me how hard life is with three. Got me quite upset. Dave is supposed to my blessing not a curse. Feel a bit better now though. One kid makes your life harder but we still have them. Besides when it gets to much I can escape to work! Youlovely ladies talking about your losses put things into prospective. Still I wish dave would just turn the right way up and leve my cervix alone!

Oh I hear you, my dd didnt turn until 36 weeks, sooo uncomfortable and also painful because I had SPD and a breech baby makes it worse... hopefully he will turn soon. My dd turned suddenly in the middle of the night which woke me up. I got up and thought what the hell is going on, I seriously thoguht I would explode... it should have been accompanied by a sound, maybe clonk or something like that. I just KNEW she had turned then.

3rd babies have alot of space and dont have to turn until late xx

oh forgot to add, 3 is the same as 2. I thought the hardest was going from 1 to 2. I think 4 isnt going to be too different from 3 either... or so I tell myself

Oh and Hello to all the newbies x

[Lavenderlime]

it must be horrible having a mc, i myself have never had one thank god but i can empathize with you girls! all that planning and then its snatched away. it must be very hard the further the pregnancy!

lavenderlime- if you dont feel like swaying this month then that is definitely the right decision for you. especially if you have been doing everything strict the last few weeks! Hope you and your dp can make up again! i hate it when we have arguments but i carnt sulk for too long because he knows how to make me laugh!

yayyy its finally been made a sticky! hated having to look for the thread when it wasnt!

Good news about sunset. Little Serena has been discharged so hopefully sunset will be out soon, so not long till sunsets back at home and telling us about her little miracle!

Hope everyone's okay! sorry for no more personals but you know how it is! our group just seems to be getting bigger & bigger but i often think what will happen when we have all had our babies will we just disappear and get on with our lives or will we still be on here twittering on with the next generation of smog wannabies!

Just doesn't feel right. Also I started the girl diet mid Oct but only got super strict the start of Nov and have been 99% strict up until recently because I want it that much. The last few weeks and with eating chocolate on X mas day aswell it's been 95% which I know isn't the the end of the world but but not great and if I concieved and it was a boy i'd kick myself knowing I could have done better. But feel like i've wasted 3 months and could have just waited to start my sway in January. The thing is if had got a BFP my first attempt I would have been so happy as I would have known I had a really strong sway. Just so hard to remain super strict for any ammount of time.

I've decided I don't like swaying very much. It's so hard to function on such a resctricted diet I was such a mess at work tonight it became a bit of joke towards the end my brain was not functioning at all, I always have a sore back all the time now think from the lack of protien and my muscles or something never bothered me before this diet. Just fed up. But now I know about swaying I couldn't TTC with-out swaying.....

Sorry for moaning just feeling crappy all around really.

The DP thing is because the complete lack of effort on my birthday (chcolate think your DH and my DP must have been sharing notes?! lol)

He was just so awful about it in the end it resulted in me crying, anyway he hasn't made any effort since. Just so mad.
It's his Birthday in just over a week so i'm just going to make an over the top effort. I always make an effort. But i'll go a little ott fill his van with balloons and glitter and birthday junk, just be overly nice bake a ridiculous cake decorated to the nines, make a banner with the kids, go big fat gypsy birthday on him hopefully he may get the point!!


Anyway enough rambling about me night x

[pinga]

Deaks - really hope that BFP turns up!!! you poor thing... the am I/aren't I is stressful!

Maybe - ouch - sounds like bubba is misbehaving!! Hope he stops bashing into your cervix!

Oh hope you're right nini and 3 is the same as 2. There are some days when both boys are off the wall at the same time and I think oh my gawd... how are we going to do this with another one I'm sure we'll just go into coping mode!!

Survived the second party for Ernie... the family one today. Went well but DH and I are knackered and the kids are a bit deliriously overtired! Grandfather hypes them up hugely! So am going to go to bed nice and early...

first things first... kids to bed soon...

[Kell]

Pinga glad the party's went well! Hope the boys all slept well!

Lavender I'm sorry your feeling so down about swaying, it hasn't been a waste, just helping you to get to know your cycles 100%, having a break is fine if it helps you to feel better about things! I hope it does!
As for your dp what an arse! I don't think I'd go over the top with his birthday I'd be inclined to do completely the opposite and almost forget about it. Maybe get him something pretty insignificant from the kids and that's it! But then I'm a cow lol!

This pregnancy so far I've gone completely off sex, which for me is pretty unusual but I've woke twice this week mid orgasm, I wouldn't mind but my dreams aren't particularly sexual while this has happened! Can't complain tho I suppose I'm getting the good feeling without having to do the deed lol!
Amazing what pregnancy does to us huh!

What's everyone's plans for the weekend? We don't have much on, ds1 is with his dad this weekend so just me ds2 and dp, dp is going off out today so just going to chill out do some cleaning and some course work! Might go see my dad as well!

[nini]

Chocolate, did you have the same user name on Plumlily? I think we mailed before? I thoguht you were going to ttc in spring, did you change your mind? Did you sway at all?

Are there any attempts and outcome statistics on this site? And does anyone know an easy way to trace new posts that have been made to yourown posts? I havent quite worked things out here yet Thanks.

[Inglewood]

Lavenderlime, I'd do the same as Kell, make as little a fuss as possible, get him a small gift. My Dh is usually ok at birthdays, always asks me what I would like and gets it, makes more of an effort at xmas with surprise gifts, but birthdays are usually quiet but nice. We did go to Rome for my 30th a few yrs ago, but I had to do all the arranging! For Dh's b'day we used to go to his work and while he wasn't at the van decorate it stupidly, but we only have 1 car now which he uses to get to work to collect the van (isn't allowed van home), so I ain't using the bus to do it....think the boys missed doing it this year!! Do the opposite of what u usually do for him, might make more of an impact?
I used to have a few 'off' days when swaying, it's tough and I can't imagine having to do it over xmas, so a few days of what u like is good for the soul...keeps you going. If I hadn't of cheated a day here and there after OV I would off completely gone off the waggon!

Babymad, how are you? been thinking of you, wondering how you are? Glad u had a lovely time away!

Kell, I go through phases I can and can't be bothered with sex. Still waiting on this increased sex drive you read about....think I missed it!!! lol It's getting a bit more 'difficult' now tho! lol But Dh says he doesn't mind, know he prob does, just being kind about it. He knows that it's not c'os I don't want to, just getting awkward!!! Enjoy ur weekend.

Sunset, hope Serena's 1st night at home went well? and ur both well?

Maybe, I get this 'furry feeling' as I call it lol.... when it seems like a baby is digging down into my cervix, usually when on the laptop/ leaning forward. It's a horrible feeling....can be uncomfy too. Hope baby Dave leaves ur cervix alone!! lol

LWM, still feeling sick?? Might be a 'girly' sign for you if u weren't sick with the boys? I was sick with ds2 and the twins, not ds1, but to have 2 pg's with no MS, now u have it! FX it's a girly sign for u!

Charlie, how are u keeping?

Z, what time is your scan on tues? My mum was coming with me, but Dh might get home earlier, mine's at 2.30pm. Boys keep asking when they can see the babies on the TV!! Bless. Can't wait till 18th to surprise them! think we will take them sledging b4 we go. I will need to watch They got lovely new sledges for xmas....and NO snow!! plenty of wind tho, they could prob go on the sand and get blown up the beach!!! lol

Deaks, how are u? any news?

Hi to everyone else! and any newbies I have missed!

May have found a car! It's thankfully only 40 miles away, so might go up tomorrow and see it. I've always bought from big name garages, but this is a smaller family run garage, so not sure if they will trade in our car, if so what will we get for it etc... We got out current car for £11,000 18mths ago. It's now 3yrs old and the garage we bought it from only want to give us £7,300!!! almost £4k loss in 18mths....NO CHANCE! the only prob with the new car, well MPV!! is it doesn't have tinted windows or Alloy's which are HIGH on dh's list of musts!!! Told him to pack in the cigs and he can add these things. (I wish) It's a 6 seater, which suits us better, alot of the 7 seaters don't have any boot space and the ones that do have high insurance and tax. It's also another Diesel, a Honda and in Black which was more of Dh's tick boxs! lol Basically our car, same engine, but with 6 seats. Downside to MPV's is you have to buy with higher mileage and a bit older to get a bigger car. But hope it lasts just over 3yrs till car loan paid off then we can choose a new car Dh really wants and not need to worry about boot space for a twin buggy! Stresses me out as I'm the 'finances' person in the house, Dh ain't got a clue!! about ANYTHING! Bills etc....he couldn't even guess what we pay. He just gives me his wages into our joint acct minus his cig money and that's his job done in his eyes!!! lol

Have a great weekend ladies! x
