Chellebelle's journey to motherhood!

4 weeks and 5 days today if my timing is right from my last AF and according to my dr :happydance:

I honestly thought that I was out this month. I went bowling with some friends on Saturday night and got a little tipsy, then on Sunday morning I remembered I had a spare Tesco pinky... so I tested and within the first 3 minutes nothing showed up... I washed my hands and looked again 1 minute later and there was a faint pink line which just got darker as time went on. I couldn't believe it, I shouted my OH (we go through everything together so I had to tell him) and he said "let's go and buy another one" so we went to Tesco and I bought a CB +/- double pack. I tested when I got home and there was a line! Then, yesterday morning, did the other test and a fat blue line appeared immediately :happydance:

Sooo, I got to work and told my dad (who is also my boss) and he said "get to the docs" so I did and she booked me an appt. for the midwife on 20th May at 11.30. On my way back to work I bought a CB Digi just so that I could see it in writing... and it said "not pregnant" :cry:. I am not too worried though, 3 positives can't be wrong surely.

I am going to Tesco tonight after work so I will buy some more pinky's just because I would like my final test to be a positive... to put my mind at rest, but I can't afford an expensive one.

So that is my story so far... I hope this is a long journey and is not cut short. I am so worried at the moment because it is so early... but I am trying to keep relaxed and eat all the right things. :blush:

She's here!!!!!!!!!! :happydance:

no more POAS after tonight lady!!!

I'm sure everything is just fine....

xxxx

yay!!!! congratulations Chellebelle :)

Congratulations! You must be so thrilled :happydance:

Thank you, and yes, I promise once I get one more :bfp: I'll stop testing :blush:

This is going to be a lonnnnng 8 months I can feel it :rofl: The past 2 days have felt like 2 weeks!!

:hug: to everyone

Ok, I just did my last ever test for the next nine months... it was a very clear :bfp: and it was about 8.30pm when I did it!! :dance: no more worrying that I am not now. I :cry: when I saw it because it actually sunk in more this time. (I have attached it but the pic is alot more blurry than it actually is)

I am going to relax now. I bought a little outfit from Tesco before... a unisex one... it is so sweet. I couldn't help myself. :blush:

Not feeling much today apart from very tired and headachy. Tummy is bloated too.

:hug:

Good for you hun, and I seriously wish you all the best and hope it all goes well for you!!! Seriously though, no more testing!!! Goodness woman, U are deffo pregnant LOL- ( I think I would be the same) Congratulations again!:happydance::happydance: Candice xx

:happydance:

No more testy testy.....

This is so great to see -- you've 'graduated' to a pregnancy journal now!! Aww, gives me hope ...can't wait to join you!!

Sending u extra strength baby sticky glue
yaya xxx

Yes once again Congrats chicken! You got your :bfp: :yipee:
Lets hope, as you say its a lovely LONG journey for you! :cloud9:

Take care Im about to do my pregy journal now too...so check it out! :lol: :dance:

Chellebelle, Im so happy for you!!!!:dance::wohoo::wohoo:

Congrats!!!

I'm here!!!! Congrats again - can't wait to follow along!!

Thanks everyone.

I fell straight asleep last night, but I woke up at 4.30 again desperate for a wee and then starving... so I went downstairs and make myself well-done fried egg on toast and an tropical fruit smoothie. I am going to have to be careful... I keep getting hungry! :pizza:

I am urinating more frequently now and I have a tiny buldge in my tummy... which is obviously bloating but for once it feels good having a little bloated tummy. :loopy: I am also getting headaches on and off... and I have avoided taking anything for them yet just to be safe.

I am drinking Twinings herbal tea and Typhoo decaf (thanks Lisa for the tip on that) and Kenco decaf coffee which is yummy... even OH is on it too now :laugh2:

Anyway, I will try to do some work today... hope everyone is well. xxx

Chelle you have no idea how pleased i am to have you in here with a pregnancy journal!! All "grown" up :rofl:

I know the feeling about time dragging ... the first 2 weeks i knew it seemed to go on forever and now im thinking .. blimey 7 weeks already!! So dont worry the time will soon go. I guess its just because we had waited so long now its finally here its such a shock to the system!!

:rofl: I am not grown up yet... I don't think I ever will be :rofl:

Thank you, I am soooo pleased to be here... I still don't believe it! I am going to try to look forward to things then it might go a little quicker :happydance:

I am too impatient. :blush:

I have just had my lunch at work, and I cannot believe how tired I am now. I could just fall asleep at my desk. I just told my colleague and she said she was the same when she got pregnant... she suggested going for a walk... but I don't think I can muster the strength. :sleep:

I feel like that this arvo too! xx

:wohoo: Your here!!!!!! A huge congrats!!!!! x

Thank you :D

9pm - I got home, had a chinese because I was really not up to cooking... and I got half way through it then had to go to bed. I got cramps felt sick and dizzy. I had an hour in bed, and I am fine now.

I am just watching the Maddy McCann documentary and it is so sad :cry:

Congrats!! You look so happy!!:) :hugs:

Chellebelle I have been getting hungry too! Tonight Im haveing chicken and rice stirfry! YUMMMMMMM!!!! Im starving!
As for your little POT...:lol: I have one too! Iam definately SHOWING!!!!!
YAY :whohoo: we can be pregy buddies!:cloud9: :hug:

Im so happy your here

x x x x

Yay for "pots" :rofl: :hug::hug: I hope you enjoy your chicken and rice stirfry! I think I am going to have tuna steak and pasta (well cooked of course) and salad... mmm... oooh and with pepper sauce.

Well... 5 weeks today :D one of my tickers says 4.9 weeks and the other says 5 weeks... but I checked and it is 5 weeks.

I feel so much better today after a good nights sleep. I am still a little tired, but I am more relaxed and thinking of going into town for my dinner and having a look around the baby shops for inspiration. I ordered a vertbaudet catalogue last night to add to my collection... I think little french clothes are extremely cute.

Anyway, I will do some work now... but I can't be bothered. xxx

Uh oh your window shopping already lol!!

Mmmm tuna steak, god before i was PG i ate fish of some description at least 3 times a week. I actually preferred it over meat but its flipped the other way around now

And wooohooo congrats you made it to your 5 week anniversary!! YAY

I'm not even quite as far along as you are and I've already ordered a few baby item magazines and gone window shopping! It's so fun - makes it feel even more real!!!

:D it's great to be able to chat to so many lovely people in here.

One thing I forgot to mention in my last entry... last night we had :sex: for the first time since I found out... it was really difficult. I was really nervous so it hurt a little bit and afterwards I got a dull ache in my tummy... so I was really worried that my OH had poked it too much :rofl: but everything is fine now. I think I am going to wait a bit before we do that again though.

I told my oh afterwards that I was nervous and he said he felt the same. :blush:

Thats sooo cute! :sex:
we had the same prob! :blush: and I got some spotting! Arrrgh! so i told DH that we have to wait until at least Ive been for my scan next week! He said that he wanted to wait too!
:hug: Hmmm foood !!!!! Im sooo hungry all the time!

Aww hun i was a little nervous of that at first and tbh i am still a little nervous everytime we do it but i just go with the flow

Seafood!!! I am been eating LOTS lately, and i think i've gained a pound or two from eating :blush: but i tell myself ehhh i will get big anyway :rofl:. But i have been eating seafood about everyday for the past week lol. Shrimp, catfish, crawfish, crab, oysters. eeek!

I have not BD since finding out!!! I am too scared :rofl: DH was complaining to me last night about it too, uh oh!

chelle ive been away for away as my computer was busted, but when i came on to bnb i could not belive my eyes at what i was reading! i could not belive my eyes congrats on your pregnancy its fantastic news :happydance::happydance::happydance:you really desereved it toatlly!! wishing you all the luck in the world!!:hug::wohoo::wohoo:

Passing by to say :hi: How you doing?:hugs:

Thank you both of you :hug:

5 weeks 1 day: I am feeling good. I am always tired, but I am sort of getting used to it. Went to our local Indian restaraunt last night for our tea - I really wanted some spicy food and it was lovely.

Nothing much to report, fell asleep watching Billy Connolly last night, then slept through until this morning.

Have a good day everyone! :hug::hug:

Chelle! A pregnancy journal! :D Just poking my head in, glad your feeling well, I'm watching closely!!!!! Im still soooooooooooooooo thrilled for you!!!!!!!!!
:hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

"WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO - MICHELLE IS HAVING MY FIRST GRANCHILD - CANT WAIT - IM NOW OFFICIALLY KNOW AS NAN JULIE - YEHHH!"

:rofl: my mum's latest post on her Facebook wall!

:lol: so cute about your mum!

Just wait until the morning sickness starts :lol: you will definately be feeling pregy then! :lol:
Take care sweet pea! :hug:

Awww thats so cute about your mum!!

My mum has done that on her facebook too!!

just sayin hi

Thanks again Wendy, can't wait for you to have yours!! I'll be watching you closely too.

5 weeks 2 days - still verrry tired. Watched the Golden Compass last night a fell asleep half way through, and went to Hebden Bridge today and fell asleep on the way home :rofl: at least we have a long weekend. Not many other symptoms apart from really sniffy nose and I don't get hungry anymore... I get starving! When I wake up I could eat a house... and if I don't eat soon I start to feel a little sick. I am nipping to the loo a little more and still having twinges on and off... but nothing really painful. Oh, my boobs are still tender.

Well, off to my brothers tonight for a curry and some "Shloer". I will have to give his OH my wine that I bought just for myself last week and it keeps staring at me everytime I open the fridge. :blush:

Take care everyone. xxxx

I'm right there with ya - I'm STARVING all of the time!! Glad you aren't dealing with morning sickness yet!!!

im with you on the sleeping thing i have a full night and have to have a 3 hour nap at around 2pm lazzzzzy girl!

Just popping by to say hi, catching up after being at work!
Glad everythings going well!:hugs:

Im right with you UVLolly! I do the same thing!
As for being hungry! I am always starving! :pizza: at the moment I have a thing for frankfurters! :wacko:
But it tends to give me gas! :blush:
Anyway Chelle, take care and make sure you have your nanny naps :lol: and make sure you take your pregy vitamins...ESPECIALLY FOLIC ACID!!!!!! :)

:hugs: :hugs: :friends:

Thank you :D

5 weeks and 3 days: today is the first day I am not hungry. I had quite an oily breakfast and felt sick ever since. I might see if my oh will make me a dahl for tea... because that is all I can think about eating and I am too tired to cook.

I am turning into a fat lazy moo :rofl:

haha i was like that for a couple of weeks!! Felt soooooooo lazy it was madness, even today i still havent got dressed lol

I'm being lazy too - we went out for lunch and now I'm resting on the couch and then going to take a nap and I've only been awake for 4 hours!!

went to Hebden Bridge today and fell asleep on the way home


I hope they checked your passport before they let you over this side of the hills.........:lol:

I'm not far from Hebden - when these babies are born we should go over there for a little B&B northern summit meeting ....

mervsmum are you having more than one baby?

Chelle hang in there sweet pea! :friends: :hug:

mervsmum are you having more than one baby?

Good God - I hope not!!!

x

Heya Chelle! How's it today? Hope you're doing well! I'm hanging around you preggy ladies at the mo', hoping some :dust: will osmosis thru the computer screen at me, I'm waiting to O... :shy:
Thinking of you!!! :hugs:

That would be brill! We used to live in Todmorden so we know Hebden quite well, I love it there, we will have to have lunch in one of the posh coffee shops. I will hold you to this meeting. :D

I am sending you lots of :dust: every day Wendy! You catch that eggy this month Missy! :hug:

5 weeks 4 days: I am just looking forward to the 6 week mark now. I feel nothing except tiredness and blobby which is bugging me because I want to feel pregnant. I am not saying I want morning sickness, but just something to show my excuse for blobbiness.

Well I am please to know that I am not the only one being lazy :rofl:

:hug: all around!

Oh I forgot to mention, Scott really wound me up last night. I have been eating as carefully as possible... but I have had odd cravings for spicy dips and doritos... I have had 2 small bags in a week. Last night, he sighed at me and I said "what's wrong" he replied "well I wory about you eating too much crap, I mean if not just for you, for the baby" so I blew my top! I gave him a rundown of everything I have eaten all week... and I said "two small bags of crisps and two snickers icecreams are the only real bad things I have eaten all week... and I have had more than my 5 portions of fruit and veg every day!!" He took it back then tried to change the subject, but I warned him to never mention my eating again or I will never cook his tea again. I think he got the point. :rofl: Bloody men! He's been as nice as pie today though. :rofl:

:rofl: good on ya xx

Hi Chellebelle,

Thought I would pop by and see how you are getting on. It seems everything is running smoothly thank God and I got quite excited reading all your new posts. It makes such a pleasant change from all the wondering and worrying in the ttc threads and I am so happy for you for finally getting to this wonderful place.

I feel like Ya Ya reading your news and can't wait to join you. Thank you for my message, it was good to hear from you. I honestly can't keep up with everyone, but feel a little bit closer to you as we live quite close to one another. No doubt if I ever get to this wonderful place, I shall be picking your brains about healthcare and who to go to around here as we only moved here in February. I'll pm you if and when I get pregnant. Hope it's soon. :flower:

.....and you can come to Hebden for our meet when ALL our babies have been born, Tish.

oh poo! I WANT TO LIVE IN THE UK :hissy: its not fair :hissy: :hissy: :hissy:

But on another note...thats telling him Chelle...I will have try that one on DH! He cant cook so he relies on me to cook! Muahahaha (evil laugh)!!!! :hug:

:flower:

5 weeks and 5 days: :happydance: almost at the 6 week mark! I am feeling very very fat today... I got ready for work this morning and I swear none of my pants fit me :hissy: I have had to put some on and leave the buttons undone - so I am off to buy some maternity pants on my lunch. I told my dad this morning and he felt my tummy and said "I can't notice anything yet" and I said "NO there is no bump there, it just blubber and bloating but it is really uncomfortable" so he responded with "ewww" :rofl:

I am also constantly weeing today... more than I have been. BUUUT, I feel really happy today, the sun is shining and I only have 3 weeks to go until I am off the Gran Canaria and I have a little bean in my belly... so I can't complain! :D

:hug: to everyone xxxx

mmmmm what id give for a holiday right now!! Have you got any room in your suitcase for a not so little one anymore lol?

im glad you put your oh back in his place! i would have gone mental crazy nuts!

:rofl: Oh Chellebelle, you're such a sweetheart I can't imagine you giving anyone what-for... :rofl: but I'm glad you did! I'd've gone bonkers at my DH that's for sure! I eat chocolate EVERY DAY, and as a dietitian I promise you, there IS NO BAD FOOD! (well, 'cept the stuff you shouldn't eat when pg, like prosciutto, soft cheeses, raw fish, and the like)... :shy: but otherwise...

So nice to read you feeling great! :D Keep it up!
:hugs:
P.s. how'd maternity clothes shopping go?? :D

Thank you :D

I bought some pants from New Look for £18 and they are soooo comfy :D I feel a little thinner now that my pants aren't digging into my belly. :rofl:

I hope you're ok and everything is on target for your :bfp:

:hug:

Oh I went into town for my lunch, and to get my pants... and I got a pulling feeling low down, only slight and it only lasted for a couple of seconds... but it was wierd.

Oh I went into town for my lunch, and to get my pants... and I got a pulling feeling low down, only slight and it only lasted for a couple of seconds... but it was wierd.

Are you sure there wasnt some dirty old man behind you trying to pull your pants down? :rofl::rofl:

Are you sure there wasnt some dirty old man behind you trying to pull your pants down? :rofl::rofl:

:rofl::rofl: That's what it was!!

:rofl: Thats funny!

I usually get the pulling sensation in my tummy! I find I get lots of twinges there! I had to have a c-section with my 1st! And I find that the scar tends to be a bit tender! :O
Oh well such is life! They do say that you notice more twinges when its you 2nd pregy etc....

:flower: :flower: :flower:

Aww well I am glad I am not the only one.

5 weeks 6 days: I am really worried this morning. I had cramps last night and a little this morning and I do not feel sick one bit. I know everyone put my mind at rest last week by replying to my thread and I just read it again to ease my mind... but I still can't help worrying this morning. My dad just said "I was hoping you'd have morning sickness by now" and that made me worry more. :cry: But then he said "actually your mum never had it" but it still didn't help.

I am thinking of ringing the docs and asking if when I have my appointment with the midwife they will do a dating scan just to put my mind at rest... has anyone ever done this and did they allow you to have one with no fuss? I hope so.

Yup! I just asked my doctor if I could get a scan done (especially if you have m/c before and you are worried)...but you could lie :blush: and and say that you dont know when your last period was...or cant remember! :lol: or failing that just say that you have had some spotting and pains in your tummy and are really worried about it...
They should say ok...and get you to go for a viability scan and dates etc...thats what I had done no worries...most drs are nice enough to realise that you stressing about it is not a good thing for you and bubs!
A bit sneaky, :shhh: but if it gets you what you want and makes you feel better why not!
GOOD LUCK HUNNY :flower: :kiss:

you might just be lucky and not have sickness hun, if not and its in the post enjoy the time you have left

My mother never had morning sickness, she thinks it's a myth :) Then again she thinks O symptoms are a myth too.

I'm sure you're fine lovely but Marina is right, lie a bit ;)

I can't believe it says 6 weeks on your ticker! It's feels so surreal to have you off the TTC board and here! Looks like time flies! And Holly's ticker is gasp worthy as well!

Cheers for posting on mine darling, I'll keep an eye on you on this one and here's a truck load of love.

Youve still got plenty of time for it to come yet hun, but if its reaaaaaally bothering you ask your midwife at the appointment for an early scan. failing that go private for one, i think theyre about £80 ... well worth every penny if it puts your mind at rest

Chellebelle, I didnt even have a single day of morning sickness so dont necessarily go by that!

Thank you everyone :D ahhh it's great having you all only a tap tap tap away on the keyboard!

I feel a little more positive, I don't know why I keep needing reassurance - I have been given plenty already. I will ask for an early scan anyway just because I think it will put my mind at rest once and for all... and I will be naughty like you said akamummy :rofl:

Thanks again everyone, you're all fantastic! xxx

We only do it cos we lurrrrve you lol :hugs:

Hope your enjoying this sunshine lady!!

Thank you mwah!

Yees the sunshine is absolutely fantastic!! It has made me feel more relaxed to be honest and happy (I am a summer baby so the hotter the better).

Yaaay, yesterday afternoon and this morning I have been feeling queezy... not serious m/s, but not my usual self and I have been really dizzy too. Now I am happy as I feel a little more pregnant that I have been feeling... but I want it to stop there... no more symptoms thank you very much :D I'm happy with just feeling queezy.

So here is a symptom update at 6 weeks: nausea, sore nipples, fuller boobies, extreme tiredness, stuffy nose, dizziness and some cramps and twinges. :blush: Feeling confident today. :happydance:

Hope everyone is feeling ok today! xxx

The sunshine is fab isnt it!! Its never too hot for me, its about time we got some sunshine :happydance:

Glad in the nicest way poss that your feeling a little queasy, its the weirdest feeling, felling ill but in your head you know you arent actually ill!!

I think its that magic 6 week mark when things start to creep in on you ... its kind of re assurance i guess because we cant actually "see" anything yet!!

YAY!! 6 week mark - me too today - HOORAY for us :happydance: Glad you are feeling more "pregnant" but hopefully it won't get too bad for you!!

Hey Chelle

just want to pop in and say :hi:

hope u and LO are well hun, hope to see u soon over this end of town, to join u in all this pregnancy chat :hugs:

:hug:

xxxx

Here's a little something I found and thought would keep you ladies entertained.

http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/oldwivestales/index.phtml

That is a great link! I did the questionnaire (obviously had to skip some questions as I am not that far yet) but so far it says I have most chance of having a girl. :)

6 weeks and 1 day: I have given in a come to work in my maternity shirt... looks really good though. I have just been so uncomfortable all week that I needed to wear something a little more flowing. Very tired this morning and had a tangerine and a pear for my breatfast and felt a little sick afterwards.

I keep getting cravings for strong tasting foods. Last night, I had some Olives (the ones that I usually get with garlic and chillies) and they tasted sooo salty I couldn't eat them. My tongue was burning afterwards so I asked oh to try one, and he said they taste normal :dohh: HOW STRANGE

Anyway, so glad it's friday. Off to my brothers tonight for a curry night then Hebden tomorrow again as oh needs to go to the bike shop, so we said we'd make a day of it.

Take care everyone! xxx

Its so odd when your PG how your sense of taste goes up the wall ... i must say i pick up the salt in things 10 times more now.

Hope you have a lovely night tonight and ejoy your curry!

yay im glad your gettin queasy hun!

6 wks and 3 days: Felt really sick on Friday afternoon - but since then - nothing. No sickness at all. I have still been getting odd cramps and twinges though. I hope everything is ok in there, only 1 week to go before I find out :D

Went to my brothers on Friday and they bought a bottle of champagne to celebrate our good news, so I had 2 sips... literally. Done some gardening today and feel fat still.

Hope everyone is well, I will catch up with everyone's journal when I get chance! :hug:

Only a week to go? Are you getting excited lol?

A week until your appointment? Hope all is well in there *poke poke*!

Hehe, yes I am excited... I am going to ask if we can at least hear the heartbeat for piece of mind. Feeling ok again this morning, had a glass of milk and a pear for breakfast. I struggle with cereal but I am trying to get my milk intake.

:hug::hug:

Good luck hunny...my scan went well....so Im sure that yours will too! Just remember you wont be able too much as peanut will be little! :lol: But thats a good idea about hearing it!
:flower:

Awww I can't wait to hear how that goes. This is so exciting. I feel like I have an advantage over the LO. I've known his mom from way back when she was trying hard to get him or her! And he or she is a lucky lucky bean!

i hope everything is ok :-)

Thank you :)

Update for today: I feel really ill. I have been fidgety all morning, I don't feel comfortable and I have a really upset stomach - running to the toilet every two mins and it's not pretty :cry: I promised myself I wouldn't moan, but I feel like poo today. I feel a little sick too, but I don't know if it's m/s or my upset tummy.

I am just waiting for my chicken salad sammich to arrive for my dinner as I am hoping that it will help a bit.

Good luck with your appointment!! Hope your feeling better soon, i'm sure the chicken sandwich will help!!! x

Thank you.

I am feeling a little better now, not I feel exhausted. I am not as upset now that I feel a little better... I just hate being at work and running to the toilet every two mins with tummy ache.

I just want to sleep now though lol. I honestly thought of having a nap on my desk for 10 mins. :rofl: My colleagues would have a field day.

Hope you are feeling better. Morning sickness is definitely rotten. Haha just lay your head down and tell them you were thinking with your eyes closed :laugh2::sleep: xo

Sometimes when your feeling crappy like that something to eat does you good!!

Upset tummy's are the worst when your at work, i hope it clears up hun

And you have a nice nap when you get in, get some energy back!!

Sorry you've been feeling poo poppet. :hug:

Keep focused on your appointment - thats something to really spur you on.

xx

Thank you.

6 weeks 5 days: almost at 7 weeks! feeling crappy again today, upset stomach and it is sensitive to the touch and nauseous. I have looked it up on google and it seems to be a form of morning sickness - which makes me feel a bit better as I would rather it be that than a bug.

Had cauliflower cheese last night with my tea and it was yummy and as I have a thing for ribena I bought some ribena smoothies and they are lovely... so I am going to have to have some of all that again tonight. :happydance:

Scott gave me a back massage last night which was lovely... I might have to suck up to him so I can have one tonight. I have been getting a constant cramp in my lower left side of my abdomen for the last two days, but it is probably just stretching. My bloating seems to have gone down a little now too, but I still have a lump there.

I hope everyone is ok today! xxx

6 weeks 6 days: Yay 1 day to go! Felling sick this morning, and my tummy is still tender to touch and a bit crampy. Loads of cm too :sick:

Last night I had my tea, tidied up then went straight to bed. I got up at 8.30pm and staggered into the bath, then felt sick all night whilst watching "Stigmata". I think morning sickness has officially got a hold of me. But at least I don't have it too severe.

I hope I am ok for when I go to Gran Canaria in 2 weeks!!

Hope everyone is ok today! xxx

Whenever it gets too bad remember you have it made! All the fatigue and the nausea are all us TTCers are dreaming of as you well remember!

Many :hug:

Yes you are right, I am trying not to moan too much as I know I have been wanting this for a long long time... I am just too soft when it comes to sickness etc. I'm fine really though and looking forward to you joining in the sickness! xxx

YAY another on who has a thing for ribena!! I had it about the same time as you!! Ive gone off ribena a little now and am liking capri sun drinks and chupa chups lollies ... good combination lol

Hopefully the sickness will ease off a little by the time you gon on hols, i know mine was worst weeks 6 to 8 and a half and now its kinda eased off, so you might be ok by then

I feel sick too sweet pea! Nausea has set in and feel blergh! Im hoping it wont last too long...but at least you arent alone!
:hug: :hug: :hug:

I wanna feel sick! :hissy:

:blush: sorry... continue.... :hugs:

:hugs: I have such admiration for pregnant ladies now after having some of these early pregnancy symptoms like nausea. Just keep telling myself that so many have been through this, it is all natural, and I can do it too! Amazing how strong we all are!!! I was telling DH yesterday there is NO WAY in heck males could do what we do ;)

Hope you are feeling bit better today, Chelle!

Hehe, I keep thinking the same... I shouldn't moan because if my mum could do it 5 times (and she IS a wimp) then I can do it. Thank you Samo.

I am feeling better this evening, although I don't believe I am showing already! One of the teachers at work came into my Office today and said "are you expecting?" I said "erm... yes, how did you know?" he said "I can tell" and looked at my belly!! I said "hey hang on a minute what if I had just gotten fat, how would you have gotten out of that?" and he said "no there's no way you'd get so fat so quickly!" Needless to say, I replied with "cheeky f**ker."

I know I am bigger than usual... but I didn't realise how obvious it was. :rofl:

Ahh well I think I will have another Ribena Ice Lolly then go to bed. Speaking of ribena - it's funny how many women I know who have craved that when pregnant. It must have a secret addictive ingrediant for early pregnant women. Thanks for your lovely comments everyone and night night. xxx

great to see your doing well all the symptom's suggest you've got lots of hormones great for the bump, keep licking the lollies and hope ya feel better soon lovey!!:hug:

I would have called him a cheeky f**ker too!
Hope you feel better soon. :hugs:
P

Glad you're feeling a bit better about the sickness - its a necessary evil!!

:hug:

Just wanted to send you some random :hug:

Hi hun, nearly 7 weeks now, time is going fast! xx

:happydance: 7 weeks 7 weeks

Youve made it through another week sweetie!! Starts getting a little more exciting as you make it through.

I dont know what it is with ribena either, i even took to drinking hot ribena for a while instead of tea :rofl: soooooooo nice

:loopy: Yay 7 weeks today!

The weeks are flying by! Thanks everyone! You're all so great :hug:

I feel a mixture of excited, loopy and tired today lol. Last night and this morning I have been very moody with OH and I can't work out why which is really annoying as he makes me feel bad for being moody... but if I had a reason I could make him feel bad :muaha:

I am also paranoid about him going to work with all these skinny attractive young-uns and then coming home to a fat moody girlfriend, but he has reassured me that he isn't interested in anyone but me, I am just being silly. :dohh:

I keep needing a wee :blush: and I have indigestion which I am thinking will only clear up if I have a bacon butty - naughty Chelle!

Anyway, hope you are all well on this sunny (but colder) day! xxx

Congrats on 7 weeks lovely :flower:

hey chelle,

ive been moody too snapping at work (luckly my colleague knows so shes understanding) when i was at my eraly stages just my oh breathing was doing my head in dont know why...

no im just getting back to norm again, sickness is geting beta n just feeling tired really hopefully it will all get back in2 place. I too started geting para that my oh was seeing someone cause he was neva around....

x x x

Congrats on being 7 wks!! xo

7 weeks 1 day: Feeling sick this morning. Couldn't get out of bed. Scott brought some cheese on toast up to me and I thought I wasn't going to be able to eat it, but I actually felt slightly better when I did.

I got my letter through from the antenatal clinic yesterday!! :happydance::happydance: I have my scan on 23rd June :happydance: Sooo excited.

congrats on getting to 7weeks! im glad you have your scan letter i bet you are counting the days

:yipee: congrats hun! I will be counting down the days for you too! We arent that far apart...so maybe when you have your scan I might have mine! :lol: things are done slightly different over here down under!
I will keep you posted though!
:hug: :hug: :flower: :flower:

wooohooo glad you got a scan date through, its always so exciting and like akamummy said it gives you something to countdown and look foward to. Kinda breaks the whole waiting game down lol

sorry your feeling a bit poop today, i dont feel so great either

Hope you're feeling better:hugs: It's so exiting to wait for the scan date!

I bet you can't wait for the scan, how good is that :happydance: :happydance:
Glad you are well chicken xxxxxxx :hug:

nice you got a scan date!!!! :happydance:

hope you feel better soon, that was sweet of your oh to bring you some food xoxo

7weeks 4days: Time is going quite fast :D

Weekend: Friday night was sooo sick and tired... so we stayed in and watched that film about Edith Piaf then had an early night.

Saturday, felt sick all day on and off. Went out around town with a few friends as it was one of their Birthday's. It was driving me mad trying to find something to wear. I had a dance and had one alcoholic drink, then drank water, lemonade and coke all night. It was ok, until I got in the last club and the music was too loud... I didn't like it vibrating all through my body :( but we didn't stay in there long.

Sunday we had a trip to Heaton Park - felt sick all day again and fell asleep when I got home.

My OH has been wonderful all weekend, he has really looked after me. AND, my brother bought me an "Expecting" book which is great.

So that is everything. I am at work for one last week before me and my sister go to Gran Canaria! I can't wait... but I am scared of feeling sick on the plane. I have my first midwife appt. tomorrow too. :D

:hug: to everyone. xxx

Blimey your fast approaching 8 weeks!! When i look at the ticker on my posts my pregnancy seems to be going so slow to me, but your whizzing by!! I cant believe it!!:hugs:

Sounds like you had a nice weekend though!!

And your so lucky your going on holiday soon, sneak me in pleeeeeeeeease!! Dont worry to much about feeling sick in the plane, maybe get some of those travel bands to help incase you do

Thank you, I will sneak you in my suitcase, although with your little bump I don't think it will close!

I have just read the two posts that everyone is talking about and I feel so sad now :cry: I can't stop thinking about how horrible it must be.

I'm just catching up on all of these, congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope it goes smoothly for you :hug:

I'm slowly making my way through the pg journals and thought I'd pop in to say hi :hi:

Hope your midwife appointment goes well today :hug:

hang in there chelle...:hug: You will be fine in the plane! Do you normally get sick in planes? If you were driving I think it would be a different story!...but :shhh: milk it for all its worth! :blush: the air-hostesses (or what ever they are called now days!) will be extra nice to you if they know you are pregy! :lol: If you tell them that you are pregy, you may be able to be boarded first with the families etc...hehehe naughty I know!!! But if you wear something that ephasises your bump then you will find people will open doors for you and help you with your bags etc...Its great!! :lol: :blush:

So you will be fine! :hug:

:D I might just do that then... I will wear a maternity top and see how I get treated.

7 weeks 5 days: Not feeling as sick today (yet). I feel like I have had 2 day indigestion or something... I am not being physically sick, just extremely nauseous and it is right below my ribs. I am off to see the midwife today at 11.30 - I am looking forward to it. :happydance: My OH has booked the day off so he can come with me, he was a bit gutted when he realised that there wouldn't be a scan hehe. Anyway, have a lovely sunny Tuesday! xxx

good luck with the midwife hun! you ll be there about now

hope everything is going ok with the midwife hun!!

Hi Chelle!!! Just popping in to see how the midwife apmt is going/went! :) and of course to thank you for your encouragement in my journal!!! :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:
I'm pretty sure this ISN'T my month, but I guess until AF shows up, I can hope just a lil'... Hope to make it over here soon my Dear - keep well and let us know how you got on!!!
:hug:

Thank you everyone. Well the appointment went ok as I said... I am a little worried that since I started taking Clomid in September I have put on a stone!! My BMI is now 26, which the midwife said is good but I just checked and it is actually a little overweight so I am going to be careful what I eat and try to eat more fruit and veg.

I got my bounty pack which I am looking forward to reading tonight and I have got even more dates for my diary now... but all is ok.

3rd post today. I feel really fed up this afternoon and I can't put my finger on it. I feel like I want to cry and I just feel really mad with everyone who comes near me... it's horrible. :cry:

:hugs: Sorry you're feeling sad :hugs: But glad all went well with your appointment. Hope you feel better soon

:hug:

Hey There,

Just been reading through your journal, sorry that you feel abit down this afternoon.

But hey darl your off to Gran Canaria, i just came back from there last Thursday i was there for a week and the weather is amazing.....

31 ... SO ITS HOT.... i Stayed in Puerto Rico which is in a valley so it is like a sun trap... where abouts are you staying?

You'll have to stay cool in the pool ...... :shipw::plane:

3rd post today. I feel really fed up this afternoon and I can't put my finger on it. I feel like I want to cry and I just feel really mad with everyone who comes near me... it's horrible. :cry:

Awww hun. Hormones are horrible. I hope you feel better soon big :hug:s

Thanks everyone!

I am staying in Puerto Rico too, I have never been there before, we are having a sister's holiday - just me and my sister. I am looking forward to it even more now you said it's hot... I want to go somewhere nice and hot.

7 weeks 6 days: I am full of a cold today - mostly head cold and sore throat... but I have been in bed all day from it. I am feeling a little better, I think I needed a long sleep anyway, I was getting over-tired. I am still feeling sickly but not as bad as I have been.

:hug: to everyone.

Hi:hi: Aww that's so sweet you and sis are gonna have a sisters holiday!^_^ I was born in Puerto Rico the days are hot but the nights are cold where I used to live. Hope you enjoy your trip!!:hugs:

Hope you feel better soon and enjoy your holiday!! xxx:hug:

:happydance: 8 weeks today... although I don't feel like celebrating.

Today must be the worst day for feeling ill. I have been throwing up all morning and I haven't even eaten anything yet. I am also full of a cold and can't breathe and I have just not been able to get out of bed. :cry:

My OH wants me to go to Tesco with him when he get's home, but I'll be surprised if I can even get out of bed. Ahh well, hopefully it will pass quickly.

Hope everyone is ok! I will catch up with everyone when I am feeling a little better. xxx

Your finally ill .... YAY but boooo too :cry:

8 weeks is great hun!! You should at least feel pleased about that today!! your 2 thirds through 1st tri!! :hugs:

Congrats on 8 weeks hon!!!! :hugs: :hugs: Sorry you're feeling :sick: but, well... can I join you too?!?!? sorry... y'know how it is...
anyway, just checkin' in! Get well soon!!!!
:hugs:

hope you feel better soon

Hope you feel better soon xx

:hug:

just thought id pop in and dust the cobwebs off your journal lady while your off sunning yourself in Gran Canaria!! :rofl:

You better bring some sunshine back with you!!

Wonder if she'll have a brown bump!!

x

Hello lovely, how are you?? I'm stalking again... :shy: Hope you're having a fabulous time in the sun, can we have a bronzed bump piccy when you get back?? :D
Millions of :hugs: Hon, miss you!!!
x

Hellooo everyone!!

I'm backkk with a burnt chest and a slightly tanned bump - I tried to keep my belly out of the sun as it was really hot... but it is darker than it was. I had a fab time, apart from nausea on and off... and the flight back was at 1am... so I hadn't slept all night, so I was really sick yesterday and I slept most of the day.

Well... 10 weeks tomorrow! Wow time is flying. My bump is more of a bump now and I am feeling sick in waves everyday which is nice (not). I haven't been eating very well on holiday though, so I will have to make up for it now.

I am slightly worried because I forgot to take my folic acid on holiday, so I have gone a week without it :cry: I hope it doesn't affect my LO.

I felt some wierd feelings in my tummy last Thursday, and since then my tummy has been a little harder and I 'feel' more pregnant... so I looked in my little book and I have guessed that my baby has now moved around to the front, or there-abouts.

Anyway, when I get through all my post I will catch up on everyone! I hope you are all doing well! xxxx

Welcome back. Glad to hear you had a good break :D Don't worry too much about the folic acid... the baby's neural tube has already closed by this stage and I don't think missing one week will make any difference. :hugs:

Glad to have you back hun!!

Sounds like you had a nice holiday, I cant believe your at 10 weeks almost, that holiday has done well to kill some time lol

Thank you :D

Glad to be back and back in my comfy bed :D

10 weeks today :happydance:
Sickness is a pain at the moment and today and last night I have been getting cramps - like a sharp pain and a little bit of a dull ache like AF is coming - which it better not for another 7 months!!!

I am really angry today. It's my brother's 21st and I asked him what his girlfriend got him and she got him a tube of smarties because she is going to Ibiza next week for a week and can't afford to get him anything. She goes out every weekend with her friends and she is always borrowing money off him - even though he is on less than her. He told me not to say anything coz she'll have a go at him, but that just made me more mad!!! :hissy::hissy: The thing is, if it was the other way around, she would make a huge fuss about him not getting her anything.

Ahh rant over. Anyway, have a good day everyone. xxx

Oh, I got my NHS card yesterday so I can get free prescriptions woohoo

I got mine a couple of weeks ago i was like YAY lookie it says pregnant!!

OMG i cant believe your brothers girlfriend!! A pack of ff'ing smarties? Id be in a serious piss if carl did that, if she can afford to go to Ibiza she can afford even a tenner on a present

That's what I said to my brother :hissy: I am having to be careful coz I have almost sent her 2 nasty messages now on Facebook but I don't want to make it worse for Anthony. Oh yeah, to make it worse, she has been moaning to him all week coz she has less money than her friends for her holiday - and she borrowed £50 off him yesterday. ANYWAY, I wont go on hehe.

Hope you're well today. xx

Hello glad to see you and bump are doing fine:hugs:
That gf of your brother's has some nerve she sounds very very selfish:growlmad:
GL with that situation, I haven't seen any bump pics from you little lady do you plan to put any up or did I miss them somewhere?

Yes, yes! Bump pictures! You must share with us! :hugs:

oh dear your bros girlfriend sounds hard work!! i hope you are doing ok

hey chele glad your back and to read that you aand the bump are doing fine niceto read your back!!

She sounds nice......not. I'd have stuck the smarties up her jacksy.

Glad you had a nice holiday hun. I doubt the folic acid will make any difference now and you've been taking it before I guess and thats what really counts. Plus the relaxation and being away from day to day stuff will have done you even more good.

xxx

Thank you :)

10 weeks and 2 days today. The midwife visited this morning and filled in more of my antenatal book. I asked her about buying a doppler and she advised me against it as if I don't hear the baby I might panic for no reason... or if I do hear it and it's not actually the baby, I might think everything is ok and it's not - and seeing as I am quite a panicy person I have taken her advice.

I told her about my pains in my stomach, and she said not to worry too much, but if they get worse I should go and have it checked out.

I feel more reassured after this morning, although very nervous about the 16-20 week blood test as that is the biggy from what she has said. I just hope everything is ok in there and developing as it should be.

I feel sick again today and sleepy, but it's Saturday so I am just putting my feet up :D

I hope everyone is ok. xxx

Aww you have a nice rest this weekend hun, thats what im doing, chilling out and watching DVD's!!

When are we going to get some new bump piccies eh?

Aww Chelle...what can you do? Some brothers have the worst taste in girlfriends! oooh!

Anyway, enough of that! (as she slaps her wrist!)

Im glad your holiday went well! And as for listening to the midwife....GOOD GIRL!

Take care sweet pea!

Hey there, glad you enjoyed your holiday and as the other girls have said I'm sure not having the folic acid won't have done any harm for a week.
Your brother's gf sounds like a lovely girl. I hope he doesn't put up with being used as a cash machine for too long. But you sound like a good sister, and you're there for him if he needs you which is all important. We all know that we need to learn our lessons ourselves and that's tough when it's people we love :hugs:

And I think you've done the right thing about the doppler, so many girls panic when they can't hear a heartbeat and if you are naturally panicky then it really probably isn't a good idea.

Well, take it easy, enjoy what's left of the weekend and I'll catch up with you soon xxx

I have put my latest bump pics on the 'bump' thread :D

10 weeks 4 days: Monday eugh :( Feeling surprisingly energetic today although still nauseous (but nausea seems to be a part of my life now). A woman at work just told me I look 'blooming' and really well today which was nice to hear :D

I had a good weekend. Went to Manchester yesterday for some retail therapy and bought some new clothes one size bigger than I usually get so there is room for stretching. The weather was gorgeous.

I am starting to feel more pregnant now. I have a constant heavy feeling low down and I am constantly running to the loo. One minute I am fine and the next minute I am desperate for a wee :rofl:

An old friend is giving me some baby goodies on the day of my scan. She has all designer baby stuff - she is giving me a pram from Mama's and Papa's, a John Lewis Moses Basket and loads of other stuff which is great. :happydance:

Anyway, I better do some work... I'll be lurking though.

Heya Chelle!!! Just checkin' in, I went to see your bump pics, sooooooo sweet!!! it really looks like a bump already!!! :hugs: :hugs:
thanks for your post in my journal, I really don't think this is it though... I think I know my body TOO well, if that's poss, and I keep comparing symptoms, etc with the time I was pg... NiX this time! :cry: Ah well. For my 30th birthday a :bfp: maybe?!?!?! :D
Keep well sweets!
:hugs:

I saw your latest bump pic, Chelle, you look fab!! I haven't changed much at all, i just feel heavy and fat :rofl:, you really are glowing! All the goodies your friend is getting you sounds nice!! 2 more weeks until that scan :)

Look at you getting a lil bump!! Your gona look so cute with a big bump, we all are lol

Its weird to think at 10 weeks we are 25% of the way there!! and in 10 more weeks you'll be halfway there!! By the end of the month itll be 2nd tri for you lady!!

Oooh you're making me more excited now!! I can't wait to have a big bump - as long as it goes when the LO comes along.

Feeling tired today - I think I am going to have an early night tonight. xxx

the heat and being in the early stages of pregnancy is not good eh ... knackers me out too!!

:hi: Hello Chelle glad to see everything is going so well for you:hugs: *runs over to bump thread*

Aw you're SO lucky being given a moses basket.

It's nice that people are commenting on how well you look and I'm gonna head over to bump pics soon and commence feeling XL jealous. :lol:

Aww thanks everyone. :D

11 weeks tomorrow - I can't believe I am having my scan a week on Monday :happydance::happydance:

It is the most exciting thing ever :D :D I just really hope there is something there and I haven't imagined all this. My friend thinks I am having twins... but I don't think so (although it would be great).

I have still been nauseous, although not as bad as I have been. The tiredness has kicked in again bigtime though :dohh:

I am counting on you Capuru and some of the others getting a journal on this section soon!!

:hugs: to everyone!!

blimey i cant believe where this time is going i really cant!!

Im sure your scan will be fine hun, i bet your soooooo excited!!

Oh Chelle, you're so cute! Of course everything will be wonderful with your scan! I hope you'll get to post some pics??? TWINS!!?!?! My goodness, you def don't look big enough!!!! But wouldn't that be sweet!!! :hugs:
Keep well Hon, make sure you get the rest your body is asking for!
:hugs:

Good morning and Happy 11 weeks!!!

:hug: :hug: :hug:

oooo not long till your scan now :happydance:

11 weeks today! :dance:

I have been ok today, although I got so stressed at work this morning that I was sick after my lunch... but I am a little better.

I am looking forward to weekend. x

Welcome to 11 weeks darlin'!! Couple weeks and we'll be in second tri, so crazy!!!

I bet you're excited about the scan coming up :happydance: mine is just 3 days before yours! I just hope that my dates are all correct lol. Come onnnnn week pass faster for us!!

Awww hun dont stress yourself and make yourself sick!! Chill out its almost friday!!

11 weeks wow! Why does time always seem to go so fast in everyone else's journal (and I'm sure it's the same for everyone lol). You must be so excited about the scan - looking forward to seeing the pics xxx

Yay...Im just over 11 weeks too! Woohoo!
I agree...pleeeeese let the morning sickness wear off soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hang in there sweet pea! See you in 2nd trimester in a couple of weeks!

Good luck with your scan hunni bun xxxxxxxx:hug:

It's like purgatory this week isn't it?!

I've never know the days to mave so slowly and I haven't even got my scan date yet :(

Just a few more days for you :D

Almost at the magic 12 weeks mark!!!!! Only a week till you get to see our little beany!!

x

WAHOOOOOO 1 week and 1 hour until I get to meet baby Chellebelle or Scottles.

I feel full of beans today - and I look like a fat bean :rofl:

I have had a good weekend. I felt really ill on Friday night, I was just drained. I had an early night and felt slightly better on Saturday. I felt better yesterday mostly though... hardly felt sick for the first time in ages. I am not too bad today, been a bit nauseous this morning, but getting better.

I am sorry for not posting much last week, I felt awful all week... I will be here more now though :D

xxx

Glad you are feeling better hun, not long at all now till that scan!

Not long to go hunni are you counting down!!

Yes I am counting down... I think this week is going to be the longest week yet, mind you, work went quickly today :)

:hugs: look at you counting down to your first scan!!:happydance: It must be so exiting! Hopefully the week goes by fast!

Thank you :)

11 weeks 5 days :happydance: I just want to get to the 12 week mark and I'll calm down lol.

I have uploaded my latest bump pics... I think I look too big for 11 weeks. It was wierd how it disappeared then all of a sudden I just went huge within the space of 4 days. A couple of people at work said they think I am having twins which would be absolutely amazing... but I don't want to think about it until I have my scan.

My step-mum bought me a little body suit from France (she is french) and it is so cute. I have attached a pic... and I have also attached a pic of the first little outfit that I bought when I got my bfp. I have got other little bits and pieces that aren't clothing, but I am not buying anything else until after my scan.

What a cool bump! You pleased? We're hoping not to tell my in-laws till 14 weeks, so although I reallllllly want a bump, I need to be able to disguise it till then!

:cry: you're bump pic's are so lovely :hugs: you must be over the moon :happydance:

:hug:

Sexy Bump Lady! :hugs:

Cutie little suits. :laugh2:

YOU LOOK SO FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!! :hugs: Wow. I'm jealous, I'll admit it loud and clear!!!! Good for you Hon!!!! Keep up the good work!!! :D
:hugs:

Aww look at your little bits youve got!! How cute!! Thats it now you'll have buying fever!!

Your bump is amazing :cloud9:

Thanks everyone... I still feel too big for 11 weeks 6 days, maybe it is just extra bloating. I think my LO has made more padding in there due to me tossing and turning every night in bed.

I am a little worried that I may have a cyst on my left ovary... I keep getting a sharp stabbing pain in it, but it could just be the PCOS playing up... I am going to mention it to the midwife after my scan on Monday. I always tell myself off for self-diagnosing :dohh:

My nausea seems to be fading :happydance: I still have a bit, but not half as bad as it has been. In fact, I think I am going to have a bacon butty morning this morning to celebrate :D

Hey Chelle!
thanks for your post in my journal! If there is one thing that would make my 30th, it would be a :bfp:!!! I can't even imagine how thrilled I'd be!!! :D :D ... look at me, wishing the time away... AGAIN... and my last month being 29, I really shouldn't... :shy:

Hey, can't WAIT to see your scan pics hon!!! Soon now, eh?!?!? :D
:hugs: Enjoy your bacon butty!!! :D

Aww the little baby outfit is adorable!! And your bump, so amazing :) you're gorgeous!

Less than a week for your first scan!

:wave: Chellebelle
:munch:Here I am sitting in front of my computer eating popcorn! Mmmm yummy!
Anyway, your bump looks like mine! :lol: I think we are a few days apart if not due on the same day! But dont worry my bump has settled down! Maybe it was just gas as well as bubs up until now! Who knows!
Im going for my 2nd scan on the 3rd of July...so Im hoping everything is still ok!
Patience :dust: for ya sweet pea! :flower:

Lovely bump chick, I'm really jealous cause your's is so cute and mine is gonna be a monster bump :rofl:

Mmmmmmmm bacon buttys!!

12 weeks today 12 weeks today!! YAY congrats hun look how far youve made it?

Another week and a bit and you can come to 2nd tri OMG lol how exciting

Thank you!

Yay 12 weeks :happydance::happydance: I can calm down a little now... but not fully until I meet my LO on Monday.

I had bad m/s this morning, but it's eased... I think I'm slowly picking up :D

I really hope you get that Birthday bfp Wendy... that would be amazing!! xxx

Yay! 12wk club. :dance:

x

2 more sleeps to go!! YAY!!

I badly cant wait to meet lil Chelle bean!!

congrats on making 12 weeks!

Thanks everyone!

1 more sleep to go, I am soo scared. I am worried that there will be nothing there... all this time TTC and thinking I am and I wasn't, I keep thinking surely I can't actually have something in there? I am so excited but so nervous too, I don't know what I would do if it was bad news... my brother doesn't help as he keeps saying "oh you might just have a giant pie stuck in your belly" :rofl:

My nausea is easing off... still there on and off but no way as bad. Anyway, I will try to catch up with everyone's diary soon!

:hug::hug:

What time tomorrow is it hun?

I worry the same too Chelle. My sickness is getting better and my boobs are not sore anymore. ~ I am sure everything will be great! I am excited for you! :)

What time tomorrow is it hun?

It's at 1.30pm... I'll be in touch with pics hopefully when I get back.

Thank you Avistar, I am sure it will be ok, I have just learnt not to get my hopes up too much since I started TTC as I always seem to get bad news lol... if it is ok tomorrow, I will change my way of thinking. :)

See you have your scan tomorrow hun. Bring me back some happy pictures hun. Enjoy xxx

Good luck with your scan tommorow, there so exciting, will you find out what your having? I'm guessing you've got a little blue one lol.

Have a great day tomorrow hun!!
x

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD LUCK!!!!!!!! ENJOY Hon!!! It will be magical, I can't wait to see pics!!
:hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

Thanks everyone... you're the best :)

Had a good weekend, feeling better although had nausea this morning, but I think it's nerves lol.

I am so nervous and excited at the same time. Only 2 and a half hours to go. My OH is skiving today so he is going to pick me upfrom work at 12.45 and come with me. He is excited too.

AND... after work we are off to Manchester to pick up a moses basket and a pram which is being given to us by a friend. :happydance:

I hope everything goes to plan and there is no bad news... I don't think I could handle any bad news :blush:

Oh, I have been having the sex dreams... how raunchy!! I told my OH yesterday morning about one of them... he said "oh well it's good that YOU'RE getting it from somewhere" haha. He said I am starving him of sex... even though we have still been at it twice a week. I am just not enjoying it as much as I get cramps but I am sure it will get better.

Good luck for your scan today :hugs:

hope everything went well today babez, i cant wait to hear about your day and look at the pics.

Hope it's all gone to plan sweetie and that you now have your moses basket and pram in tow.

Got any Pics?

Thank you :)

It went great. I have 2 pics... I have put them in the 1st Tri but I will put them in my journal tomorrow when oh scans them in so they are better quality.

When she first got the pic on the screen, I couldn't see properly because the screen was turned away so that she could measure LO... but Scott was closer so he could see and his eyes were red... awww I have never seen him look so happy and amazed.

When I saw LO, I just filled up and smiled from ear to ear... she showed us the heartbeat and the two arms and two legs and then LO started doing a little dance for us, bouncing around and swaying. I am just in a daydream at the moment... I think I got too worked up lol.

Haha yes I did... in fact, when we went through to the midwife afterwards I handed the pics to Scott and said "here you look after our LO a minute" and he said "you mean YOU'LL look after the LO... I'll look after the PICTURE of him" haha.

Thank you everyone, I do feel better now and I have some wonderful things given... I will post a pic tomorrow of the pushchair and car seat. xxxxx

I am sooo happy everything went well!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh chelle im so happy for you, now you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and not worry so much. when can you ask the sex of the baby?

Im soooooooo pleased it all went well hun and now youve finally seen LO you can start to relax a little and stop thinking its all on big daydream!!

Its finally here :hugs:

Thank you... it is starting to sink in now and we are both exhausted today from all the excitement yesterday.

We got some lovely things from our friend yesterday.

Mamas and Papas Charcoal Travel System (worth £450) with a furry cowprint footmuff
John Lewis Lilac Moses Basket and stand
John Lewis Wooden High Chair
Lilac baby box for bath stuff
Breastpump
Sheepskin rug

and they are all like new which is great. I have attached a pic of the travel system with the footmuff (I love the footmuff hehe).

Anyway, I suppose I had better do some work hehe.

xxx

You lucky thing!!! Isn't it great when you're given such lovely stuff!!

x

I know, I can't believe how much we have been given already :) I just can't wait to see our LO in them!

You lucky bugger!! I love the cowprint!! Im such a fan of stuff like that lol its so cute

Thank you :)

It went great. I have 2 pics... I have put them in the 1st Tri but I will put them in my journal tomorrow when oh scans them in so they are better quality.

When she first got the pic on the screen, I couldn't see properly because the screen was turned away so that she could measure LO... but Scott was closer so he could see and his eyes were red... awww I have never seen him look so happy and amazed.

When I saw LO, I just filled up and smiled from ear to ear... she showed us the heartbeat and the two arms and two legs and then LO started doing a little dance for us, bouncing around and swaying. I am just in a daydream at the moment... I think I got too worked up lol.

Anyway, I'll update with proper clear pics tomorrow. xxx

Ok, well THAT post just made me cry...!!! :hugs:
SO SO SO SO happy for you hon!!!! I hope you relax now and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy! Can't wait to see the scanned pics!

I processed all our staff's wages to go in tomorrow instead of Monday so I am flavour of the month with all the staff which is great :D They usually see me as the wicked witch :rofl:

Hoepfully my nausea will ease off soon, I have been getting it every morning for weeks... but it has become less.

What a weekend. I am sooo tired, we have had friends around last night and although I went to bed early... they didn't get to bed until 5am!! Obviously I didn't sleep much because of the noise... but it was a party for my Birthday lol. We went to my dad's today for a family meal which was lovely but I am soo exhausted now.

I have ventured into the 2nd Tri now :D I am too keen lol.

Well I am going to get some sleep I think, take care everyone and soon I will be able to have a proper catch up on BnB.

:hugs: :hugs:

Hope you had a lovely time hon regardless of the early night. No point in knackering yourself out though is there?! :D

Fabby ticker btw.

I'll be hoping for you too Wendy! :hugs:

Well, it has just been crazy lately... I haven't had any time to myself and when I have I have just been sleeping. Finally the sickness seems to be easing off though at least.

Scott has put a load of chilling tunes on his iPod and decided to put his massive headphones on my belly last night and play them to our LO :rofl:

I felt fluttering as well over the weekend... only slightly but it was definately there. The sonographer said that it was extremely active at the last scan... so that is probably why I am feeling things so early.

I have been stressed at work for the past couple of days, so I am trying to calm down because I have been getting cramps today.

That's all for today

I hope everyone is well! xxx

I'm not suprise you're feeling fluttering....Scott's started some kind of rave down there with the massive headphones!! :rofl:

x

Hey chick, glad you are well...bet you can't wait for the scan, I would be peeing myself with excitement.
Have you and hubby laid bets down yet?
I bet team pink xxxxxxxxx :hugs:

I'm with Nat! Team pink for you!! :D
:hugs:

Oh god dont get me started on betting on what team your going to be!! Ive got to say though i have a feeling on pink for you too!!

I think PINK too!!

x

Well if you're all saying girl....I will say boy!!!

My Grace was a very active buba too Chelle (and still is lol) so invest in some trainers for your toddler years!!!!

xxx:hug::hug::hug:

Nice chillin' tunes are good. :D

I keep playing Zero7 'The Garden' and 'When it Falls' very nice when I need to chill.

Flutterings. YAY! :baby:

I've had some last week but nothing since :(

I hope you're all right for Scott's sake... he wants pink... I don't mind either way as long as he / she is healthy :)

Getting closer to the 14 week mark yay! I get so excited when each week comes around :happydance:

My sickness hasn't been as bad at all now - just little bits in the morning and last thing at night. Last night I had to use a second pillow as a body pillow just so that I can be more comfortable and it definately helped.

Nothing much else to report... oh, I have been craving tomato soup lol

:hugs:

Hey Chelle!
Your man wants PINK!?!? WOW!! That's so sweet!!! Mine always says 'as long as he/she is healthy' as well, but he's quite open about saying he wants blue!! He's afraid he won't know what to do w/ a pink... :rofl: He grew up in a house of boys so... yeah... :D I hope I get twin girls just to throw him! :rofl:
Glad to hear you're feeling well hon!!
:hugs:

My DH wanted team Pink too!!! I said I wasn't bothered...and took 2 lots of baby grows to the hospital (one pink, one blue)...and then only after I had her I realised I really wanted a gal!!!!

Oooo not long to wait now Chelle!!!!
I didn't find out with Grace, contrary to what DH wanted...but I think he will get his own way with our second....WHEN IT HAPPENS!!! lol

You can stop calling the bubba 'it' all the time!!! Woooooo

xxx:hug::hug:

:happydance: my DH wants team pink too! Although he does say that as long as its healthy thats the main thing!
I thought I felt flutterings too...but it must have been my imagination! :haha: Oh well plenty of time! Then I will be feeling KICKS!!!!!!! :cloud9:

Glad you are feeling good hun, I think pink for you xxxx :hug:

Ewww tomato soup Chelle thats gross!!

Glad your feeling better now, i dont think it ever really goes 100% i still have the odd gag moment but its nice to to feel sick 24/7.

14 weeks today hun WOOHOOO!! And only 18 days to go, you getting excited yet?

congrats on 14 weeks Chelle!!
x

YAY 14 weeks already? Feels like yesterday you got your BFP

My DH is rooting for team PINK! too. Must be a daddys little princess thing?

So glad I'm on this journey with you now sweetie

Thanks everyone.

I am sorry I have been distant for the past few days, it's been really difficult at work... and when I get home I my eyes are sick of looking at a PC all day, so I try to avoid it. I've been lurking though :)

We went to Ikea on Sunday and bought a cot :happydance: Scott had to put it up straight away, but we haven't got a matress or bedding yet lol. Our cat decided to sleep in it whilst Scott was assembling it... so I shut the nursery door every time I come out of there to make sure he doesn't cover everything in fur.

My bump is looking more like a bump every day now, I am mostly in maternity clothes everyday now. I'll put a pic up when I get chance.

I have had some wierd twinges in my bump too which makes me nervous... but otherwise I am fine. xxx

Hey Chelle!
Glad to hear you're ok, was wondering where you'd got to! Can't wait to see some bump pics! Hey, time sure flies... before you know it you'll be half way there!!! crazy!
:hugs: :hugs:

Hey Chelle :wave:

Glad to hear everythings good :happydance: can't wait to see the pic's

:hug:

I have come home early today. I have been so stressed at work again this week that I have not been sleeping. At around 11am I went really pale and felt really ill... sick and tired... so my brother gave me a lift home. I went straight to bed and I got up at 2.00pm... I feel better from having a sleep but I think I am going to have some more in a bit :)

I had a :cry: on my OH last night saying how I felt fat and I felt strange about being pregnant and I was fed up of always feeling ill. I was upset that I haven't taken to it straight away and I was worried that I was never going to feel that bond. I felt so guilty feeling like this as when I was ttc I used to get really upset seeing pregnant people moaning... but I think it is just my hormones. My oh said that I will probably feel different when I start feeling movements and when I see the 4D scan... I really hope so. Oh and my OH is the best... he has been wonderful since I have been pregnant... I am proud of him lol.

:hugs:

Hello sweetie. :hugs:

You are not alone my love, not by a long chalk. I think it must be a week 14 thing because what you've written is totally how I've been feeling. I like you, have a bloody star of a chap who lets me blubber all over his work shirts and
