Awww hunni im soooo sooo pleased for you!!!

Already posted in your other thread but here it is again b/c u deserve it:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I really am so very happy for you!!! Your daughters reaction is so sweet!!!! Got me all teary eyed too... Wishing you a magical 9 months, hun!!!

What a crazy couple of days!

Well I got offered a new job, still here at the same school so I told my boss so they could decide how they wanted to play things. He decided if I still wanted it then we'd go ahead. I went home to sleep on it and decided I'd take it. I came in this morning to finalise things and they cant give me the deal I wanted - the job is less hours so less money plus a lower pay rate but its a move I wanted to make for myself.
I told them that unless they could give me the deal I wanted then I'd stick as I am and ride it out till I leave for maternity on the higher paid job. They're crazy really because they'd get to pay out much less in maternity but hey, their loss is my gain! Talk about !!

So now I need to concentrate on keeping well and calm. My job has quite a few stressful points - this morning trying to organise a hall with 150 teenagers waiting to take an exam - my usual tactic is to use my big mouth to get their attention but I didn’t want to have to yell and raise my stress levels!! The people who work for me were 'What’s up with her....she's being very calm....' (I have a no nonsense approach to teenagers )

I keep getting twinges - like minor AF cramps. My boobs feel pretty normal again - not much tinglyness. Every time I go to the loo I'm a little nervous when I wipe.

I've called my doctors to ask what I needed to do and they basically said nothing!! unless I have any concerns I dont need to see my GP and I'm booked in for a first appointment with the midwife on 4th March!

CONGRATULATIONS! That is such great news! Soooo happy for your

Hiya Preggers,
Its easy to say don't stress...but don't!!!
I feel for you wen you said about goin to the loo...I am exactly the same wen I am preggers...Eat lots of ginger and drink lots of pure orange! lol
Its great that I have only been on B&B for around 2 and a half weeks, and I've seen a little glimmer of you're journey from TTC to BFP...it fills me with great hope and awe.
1 thing, I remember one of my friends said to me when I had just found out I was preggers was, "You lucky thing...no period for 9 months!!!"...and I thought, oh yeh hehe......

Take it easy, lemon squeezy!!!!

Thanks Cat - you're a sweet pea!

Do ginger biscuits count?! i dont like fresh ginger but I love OJ and my sister said something about a glass of proper OJ a day and a glass of milk too. I'm eating 'normally' at the moment although I have felt a little more hungry over teh past two days.
I'm pleased you feel hopeful - thats exactly how I felt when I joined here. My next step is to take you and all the other smashers I've met on the TTC board on to the 1st Tri board!!! COME ON GIRLS!!!! x

i'm still just really happy for you x arrived for me yesterday so heres to a another month of trying!!

I'll be here till you get that Loopy x

Yeh ginger nuts do count- defo!!!!
Yeh missus, don't leave us in TTC just yet...wait till we're all in pregger land!!!
Any kind of OJ helps....suppose the fresher the better!!!
The midwife said to me wen I was carrying Grace, wateva your body wants- have it- as that is wat the baby is requesting....so that was my excuse for having chocolate every day!!hehe
Let's hope you don't have a craving for mud or dirt from potatoes like some do- ugh!lol
Remember, only take paracetamol for pain relief and no eating shark (coz of mercury) or runny eggs. That is wat I remember from the 8 week midwife visit. It's funny wat u remember- shark? like i eat it all the time!!lol

SHARK! Well I'm veggie so I eat reasonably well - just need to watch I get enough protein I think. I do eat tuna occasionally and I think you need to limit that for the same reasons as shark.
When I was having Emily, I craved pints of ice cold milk - about 6 a day!!! Oh and chips with marie rose sauce over them and.....chocolate oranges...I ate them like apples for a couple of weeks....no wonder I was like the side of a bus!
