Uk SMOG Wannabes ~ January

[Inglewood]

Z, take care! Think we are much more likely to catch nasty bugs when pg, take it easy and hope ur better soon! xx

[Inglewood]

Morning!!

Deaks, glad ur feeling a better about attempt and things are going well? Is it this weekend ur attempt? or beg next wk?

Lavender, so glad the bleeding has stopped! Had u take the same cranberry strength before?? I had to half my initial dose due to low ph, but worth keeping an eye on. x

Indigo, wish i could fit into lycra!! Even pre-pg! Good for you runnning, last time I went on a 'running' spree I was off work for 6wks with sciatica and had to get intensive pysiotherapy, lost alot of weight running, but never again! You must be chuffed to see ur wee bump coming on...reassuring!

Hello to everyone else!!!

Ok what do u ladies think.....names for the Aubergines today!!!

We have decided to call the Girls Ruby and Amber. (I loved Ruby, which is a precious stone and Dh likes Amber also being a precious stone, so they seem to match well).

[Lavenderlime]

Inglewood love, love the name Ruby had it on the list for ds2. Amber is also beautiful and I don't know any Ruby or Ambers in RL (appart from childhood friends). Have you told everyone the babies are girls now? I bet everyone was really excited for you!

I've been taking the same brand of cranberry since Oct and the same dose....

Zanacal you poor thing. I've never had a sickness bug must be awful, hope your feelling better have a lovely Sofa day with ds3.

Deaks no I didn't temp this month or use OPK's as wasn't TTC so just wanted a month off so no real clue when I ovulated I would have thought between Cd 12-16 I guess i'll gave a better idea when AF arrives next week. I also read that mid cyle bleeding can be a sign of not ovulating.... I hope not.

Got the worst cold full blown cotton wool head, headaches, running nose, sneezing the lot. DP had a cold too but I have it about 10 fold and it's lasting twice as long and the boys haven't got one at all?! It's normally the other way around. lol

[zanacal]

Aah, Inglewood, they're such sweet names! I have a neice called Ruby (and it was on my list before I did!) and we've considered Amber in the past too How will you decide which you call which - does the first one out get one name and the second the other?!

Thanks for the get well wishes. Yesterday the baby was so active and it was really reassuring but she was going really crazy - then it occured to me that it was probably the lucozade having that effect!!

[homebirthing princess]

inglewood......those r 2 beautiful names hun!!!! they go perfectly 2gether xx

[zanacal]

Get well soon Lavender!

Thanks hun xx Feeling a bit better today. I have just been feeling down about bubs being a boy.... I needed a few days without being online before they carted me off in a white coat!!
This is the end of the line for our dream of having a DD and its very hard to think I will more than likely have to accept NEVER having a DD, I just don't know where to start......
Our journey has been a long one with lots of heart ache a long the way so I am pleased that my family is now complete but the sadness and longing never get any easier, how do you live with that forever, the last 8 years has been hard enough I just wish I didn't feel the way I do...how many times can you grieve for the DD that never was/ or was taken from you
Sorry didn't mean to off load my waffle onto you.
How are you doing? Great that you have felt baby kicking.....its lovely xx

Littlemisswilko ~ it’s probably just the pregnancy hormones. I hope you feel better soon! ((hugs))

Charlieispy ~ my dh has had 2 weeks paternity leave, only went back to work yesterday. fx the headaches don’t return! And awwww how lovely with little kicks!! Enjoy every minute of it!!

Deaks ~ interesting. I wonder how big part decongestants play in a sway? I took decongestants daily the week of ov.

Lavenderlime ~ ask me in a few weeks time at the moment there’s no routine at all, and it’s total chaos constantly but i love it! It’s getting easier everyday and i think little lady is going to fit right into our daily routine without a problem

Kell ~ you sound stressed hun sending you a virtual hug! It’s not easy being pregnant and looking after 2 little ones so i can’t imagine what it must be like to work on top of that and do college as well.. it’s alot! Hope you feel better soon x

Inglewood ~ hope your tummy feels better soon! And good luck with the car viewing, how exciting!

Maybebaby ~ I love your positive attitude! Fx your bp doesn’t go above 90 so you don’t have to go into hospital!! Keep us posted! 32 weeks, you haven’t got long left to go now

Babymad ~ hi hun, how are you feeling these days? Has the morning sickness eased off?

Beautiful pics sunset! How are the boys enjoying their sister?
I have stopped being sick now which is great, still don't feel great most days and very tired with being anaemic but defo better than I was xx

[Babymad]

Gosh so much to catch up on in just one day or so! We have had some poorlyness in our household so struggled to get on propery yesterday.

Feeling sorry for all you ladies either feeling yucky or stressed. Babymad, Kell and littlemiss i hope things improve very soon!

Maybe hows your Bp??

Sunset, omg such gorgeous pics...you look amazing and little serena is just gorg!!! Oh and think i might take decongestants daily...did you go the zyrtec or sudafed route? If so just one per day?

Inglewood, not sure what time your scan was but im so excited for you and hope you can post some pics! Jealous that you guys are able to go sledging (well your boys anyway!)

Charlie, glad the headache has subsided! Loving the popcorn baby kicks!

My ph is 3.8. Think i may have to relax some supps but then i dont know, perhaps its a good thing its this low now as i could bd through ov or at least not be so worried about timing.

Inglewood how quickly did your ph increase when you went from 3 to 2 acidiphilus? and how much did it increase by?

Getting excited about next weeks attempt. Not bothering to do opks early or stick them down on paper.... all a bit rediculous after a yerar of doing it. Not taking temp daily either and feeling much more normal again.

Much love to you all X

Great PH Deaks
GL with your attempt! x

[Babymad]

Hi all, what an exhausting day!

Didn't get sledging since the schools aren't off it was closed till tea time.....gutted for them (thankffully they didn't know). So we went to a HUGE crazy golf place and they LOVED it!! Followed by Burger King where we told them about the scan! They we so excited! Went to the scan and she said straight away twin 2 was a GIRL! she was lying on top of twin 1!! lol who was squashed into my placenta (poor wee soul). She then said both GIRLS!!!!! and we got an 8min dvd, Cd of pics, and 2 colour A4 pics, one of each baby. Although twin 1 was covering her face with her arm alot. Dh wasn't impressed to part with £122 for what we saw (only in 20mins) but I got my better comfirmation of GIRLS and the boys loved it, so to me it was worth it!! She said they look healthy and I will post the pics from the CD tomorrow as I'm knackered!

After the scan the boys choose a mini build a bear for them and an outfit, they choose some games etc with their xmas money,then out for Dinner! So a wonderful day!

Sorry this is an all about my day post, but really need to get boys school stuff ready then off to bed.....

Will catch up tom and hope ur all well? xx

Sounds like a perfect day hun - so pleased all went well at the scan and the boys must be made up to be having two sisters to look after xx Cant wait to see pics x
