Hi Ladies
Long time, no chat
Hope - congrats on seeing the heartbeat. Try to relax, I'm sure everything will be fine this time around. You deserve to enjoy your pregnancy.
Stephjim - have you checked your pm's? I seem to remember a conversation about shepherd's pie a while ago. That's so cute about the baby blanket. My sister gave me my first baby gift too.
Shantala - I don't think you're weird wanting to wash the clothes and bedding, I'm already planning on doing the same myself, not that I've even bought much yet. And I agree stuff smells so much nicer when its dried outside. (maybe its a weirdness that comes with pregnancy
). I hope your DH isn't too far away when the time comes, at least your Mum's close by.
Rachel - Hope your hospital appt went well. can't wait to hear when she arrives.
Angel - Hope you're feeling better
Chriss - I hope your appt goes ok and isn't too painful
Angie - Did you get the clomid thing sorted yout? I took it days 2 to 6 but my cycle's so erratic that I ov'd on different days each time, anything from day 14 to 26
so that prob doesn't help much. I don't think it matters too much whether you 'do it' the day of surge or the day after (or both
) as the surge just means you'll ov in the next 24 - 48 hours and fresh sperm can live for about 5 days
Jayne - You gave me a shock when you said about only having max 13 weeks to go. I had to check your ticker, I'm only 2 weeks behind you and I've hardly bought anything yet either
Steph - do you hate your job?
I know the feeling, its been manic lately but I'm trying to chill and not let it stress me as I've got far more important things to worry about now.
Nims - well done on the horsey winnings. I had 3 in the work sweepstake but non of them finished
in fact 1 ended up getting shot
Good thing I'm not usually a gambler if that's my luck!
Becky - sorry you're feeling so down. Just think, after all that waiting you are finally on your way even if you are down-regging for so long. Hopw you feel better soon.
Mia - 12 weeks wooohooo!
hi to everyone I've missed. I've been so bad keeping up lately, I'm sorry.
This is my last full week at work, from next week I'll just be working 3 days a week and boy am I ready for it now. Feeling quite tired by the end of the day (well by 3.30 most days) so am looking forward to slowing down a bit. I've got my last acu session on Friday and its really helped with the headaches and dizziness. Once I'm working less I'll start some serious shopping. All I've got so far is a sterilizer, 2 packs of nappies ('cos they were on offer) and a few body-suits plus a couple of bits I've been given. Did go and try out some prams a couple of weeks ago and even got as far as testing them in the boot of my car but still haven't been brave enough to make that final decision.
Love to everyone

- rate 117 - which seemed a little low for me, but RE assured me it was fine anywhere between 100-150. 
The scary thing was that I had no indications that anything had gone wrong. I think Chriss went thru a similar experience. 
My due date is Dec 2 (which happens to be my oldest DSS's birthday as well (he'll be 17 this year) - like most of us deliver on the actual due date!, but ...
