You girls should probably start taking folate/folic acid tablets at least 1-3 months prior to starting too. It is supposed to help prevent spina bifida etc. You continue taking it for at least first 3 months of pregnancy too.

How exciting that you girls will be trying soon.....i'll be here hoping that an accident happens before then hehe

Harmonie we are gonna have another catch up after i find out the sex. So probably just before or just after easter we'll arrange one for out this way Hopefully some of us will have some albums to show off by then too. I still haven't confirmed all the picture selections with pete yet - might try and do that tonight!

Thanks for the info Kylz - im already taking Elevit, i think im into my 2/3rd week and all i have to say is thank god the headaches are gone!! when i first started taking it i got headaches daily but tha seems to have worn off now and its all good....

were just down to the nitty gritty of our wedding album too - just got a few more pages to get organised and then a look at the way it all sits together page after before before our photographer sends it all off to the printers - very cool looking back on the pics!

ohhhh an accident i can only hope its that easy for us to get pregnant - but then thinking about it i dont really want our baby born around xmas coz i have this weird fear that the poor bubs will only have one celebration in stead of having a seperate b'day one and chrissy one - does that make sense??? so im gonna try to hold off until at leas june....i hope

We are trying for our 4th (I know - we're mad ) in June as well. So we can all go through this at the same time! There will be no accidents for me - I can't get pregnant now even though I am clucky as hell (and you girls talking about Kylie's pregnancy is making me even cluckier). I am on a 12 month contract at the school and would feel slack if I left them in the lurch.

Kylie - I think you will have a girl on August 15th. There's my bet

ooh! how excitting so many preggie people i know!
my cousin just told me today she is 31/2 mths preggies! i was the first one she told! i thought atleast my dad would know! hehe i m normally the last to know things! so now i have my cousin, mum's cousin & one of our groomsmen's wife all due to have their baby in August. im telling everyone that they had so much fun on our wedding day that they decided to have some 'private' celebrations of their own that night, hehehe. & ofcourse Kylz too due in August.

Well I am off to the Fertility Specialist again tomorrow and am doing my damndest to get Kylie's little one a playmate ASAP. They did blood tests to check if I am ovulating. I don;t know whether to hope I didn't (or to hope this month I did...)

WAH!

One thing the specialist told me - if I do need medication, there's an 8% chance of twins. I have had a recurring dream for years that I was a twin mummy. Sometimes it's 2 girls, sometimes a boy and a girl. If it was 2 boys we would need to keep trying till we had a girl... I WANT TO DRESS A PRINCESS IN PRETTY DRESSES.

For Kylz? Hmm. Girl. August 18. 7 pound 10 oz!

Good Morning lovelies!

Puggie - hope it all goes well at the specialist today and u get some happy news!

ok im gonna give this baby guessing a go - im predicting (like i know what im talking about or something!) that bubs will arrive on August 19th, 7 pound 8 oz and definatelt a girl - ive got a vibe for a girl

News for me is that well the new job i got and started last week didnt last for very long unfortunately (there's a very long and somewhat interesting story behind it all) and i didnt get past the first day....sooooo its back to the drawing board again - but on the up side ive got 2 agency interviews today and tomorrow for another couple of jobs so hopefully one of them will work out and u can bet ur life im gonna be asking a million and one questions from now on!!!

Anyway thats its from me today - have a great day girls!

oooohhhh here's a question for u gals - anyone doing anything cool on valentines day seeing as its gonna be our first as married couples

Juless, sorry to hear about the other job. Good luck with next two interviews.

Well girls here is a pic of my belly at 13.5 weeks for you to see. As you can see i have definately thickened but not really got much of a baby 'bump' as yet.

What thickening?? I had to blow it up! You look great - How do you feel??

I so can't wait to see you Don't hold your breath about my album! I have my proof album but really haven't had any time!! I am going to order my vieo this week though (yes they are still waiting on me for our songs - But I get our lounge delivered tomorrow (I am having a sickie )

Amy I have all my fingers crossed for you~! Do hurry back and update us! I hear the most wonderful things about Monash so I am certain you are in the very best of hands Can you imagine twins!!! WOW - You won't be short of baby sitters I am sure we can all help

Argh Juless YEAH we can try together!! OMG I started taking elevit about 2 weeks ago (kinda slack though - must get into a routine!) I don't think we will be lucky accident! But its welcome!!

Nov-Feb would be good only cause I am still studying part-time and don't finish to NEXT year!! But I don't know I can defer for 6 months??? Or do a summer/winter semester to catch up!

MrsO - So you have your little girl - Any more pics of your little ones?? I would LOVE 4 but we settled on 3 (if we are lucky enough)

Carla did you pic all your wedding pics for the album? Have you collected it yet?

Well, Kylz, I have a small stash of knitteds on hand for new arrivals. Take a good look - one of these might be coming your way (not the Kenny red one with hood, though. That one I'm keeping in case we need it )



And note - the newly painted window frame in the background (which is what I have been doing this afternoon).

**waves kylie - I see you**

They are cute Amy how did today go?? Maybe you need a few more incase you have the twins!

Oh - re: elevit. I am just taking a general vitamin pill. Is that enough?

Saw the specialist today. Last month I ovulated.

This may or may not be good news. It might be a one off/intermittant. If so this is bad, as the FS wants to take a 'wait and see' approach for 2-3 months and see if we can get UTD during that time. Basically if I am Oing on an even remotely regular basis they won't prescribe Clomid as it can lead to multiple MULTIPLE conceptions. After me freaking, he DID write an order for an ovulation blood test next month to check if I O. I will get my GP to order tests for the subsequent months as required.

If it is regular then of course I am delighted! FS did suggest a lap/die test in 3 months if I am Oing, Sean's SA is OK and we are not UTD. I hate there are so many IFs in that sentence

And of course today when I got home and went over to chat to my neighbour and good friend, her sister dropped over to announce they're 14 weeks. I was OK and genuinely happy, but shitty timing. And then I get to the top of my stairs and there's a box waiting. I know straight away it's the box of booties my ex-bf's mother has knitted to keep up my supply for all the bubbas arriving in my life. Needless to say opening the box and looking at the gorgeous little booties was hard. Some of the new ones have been added to above stash pictures.

Making you others clucky?!?

Hi Puggie

Well at least you o'ed Did you BD a lot around the time? Did they know the time or are you charting to see when you O? I only ask as I begin charting this month and I guess I am thinking about it?? I want to see how I go for 3 months to see if it would look any different when I get a pos (fingers crossed)

I was told you can take multi-vitamins but nothing with vitamin A I think?? So maybe the blackmores one 'breast feeding...' Ask the chemist when in doubt...

There are a few ifs but a few ticks too - Your SA and you o'ing this month?

Timing sucks... But the knits will be that much more special (but on a lighter note - from the ex-BF mother - now thats funny! I know your close to her - but wow - you have to giggle)

Hehe, Harmonie! It is kinda funny my EX's MUM is knitting baby booties etc. for me to give to friends. She has said when we get UTD the knitting will start 'IN EARNEST' EEEK!

We have an understanding, though. I am basically the daughter she never had, and even now she gets to share in the 'girly' aspects of my life. My Mum is OK with this too - when I went to my bridal fitting (with my Mum and the Ex's Mum) my mother referred to her as my Aunt. Everyone is happy

Well - maybe not my MIL - but she intentionally does not get involved with anything girly with me as it upsets my SIL, so if my ex's Mum wants to, why not?? Sean is (now...) OK with the whole thing

Yeah you should take the pregnancy and breastfeeding multi vitamin as it doesn't have the vitamin a in it and i'm pretty sure when you take two a day you get your 500mcg of folate too.

Keep positive Amy and get down and dirty hehe as much as possible and hopefully we'll have another preggers november twin soon

Another busy afternoon in the twinnies thread - i love it!

Puggie - all this lil knitted jumpers and booties, etc look so adorable, fingers crossed they get used stacks sometime soon....i hope this "wait and see" timeframe goes by really fast for u and ends in a very happy ending - ill keep my fingers a toes crossed or u

Kylz - u look fantastic at 13.5 weeks, ur gonna be one of those glowing pregnant ladies who barely has belly - soooo jealous

Harmonie - how cool we were wedding twins and could be bubby twins, now that would be pretty awesome

i heard the same about the Blackmores pregnancy and multi-vitamin - doesnt have vitamin a in it, u take it twice a day which gives u ur daily intake of folate and its just as good as elevit....i think it may have a gold cover thing iykwim?!?!?

well ladies i had my first interview today, it was only with the agency chick tho and it went well, she's putting me forward for the role and hopefully either late this week or early next week ill have an interviewed lined up with the company itself.....

Wow you girls have been chatty today.

Kylie - you look lovely I look forward to seeing many more preggo pics of you.

Amy - keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hope you're the next baby cab off the rank

Jules - bum about the job. Better that you found out you didn't like the job sooner rather than later though!

I had to go to work today, and cover 2 extra classes. I am exhausted, have to go to a parent information night at my daughter's school but I don't know if I can keep my eyes open.

What's for dinner at your houses tonight?

Dinner is salt and pepper squid with salad and home made chunky chips! Yummo!!

My dinner was similar to Amy's - fish, chunky chips and caeser salad - yummo!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to my gorgeous November twinnies - our first as married couples - yay! I hope we all got suitably spoiled..... I know its a hallmark day and all that - buts it nice to be made a fuss of all the same

Kylie - you look fantastic. I can't wait to watch your progress over the next 6 months or so. And while we are predicting, heres mine: a baby boy born on August 15th weighing in at 7lbs 2 oz.....

Amy, don't know much about fertility terms, but it sounds like it might be good news? As Jules, said, hope the journey to getting UTD is a quick one for you - how great would it be to have lots of November twinnies UTD at the same time (as long as you all come back in this thread and keep us updated with your journeys of course!) PS the booties and cardies are to die for! You will have lots of cute clothes to dress your bubbas in you lucky thing!

Not much news from me, I got the cast off my foot yesterday (thank GOD!) so the break seems to be healing as it should be. Will still be on crutches for a couple of weeks though. Our house has three flights of stairs in it so have been having trouble getting around, cleaning and putting stuff away from the honeymoon - hopefully in a couple of weeks I will have a clean and tidy house once more and can sleep easy again - I think I am a neat freak! Hubby has been doing his best though, bless him! Other than that we are considering renovations at the moment - I think this year will be another big one for us and at least I can focus on getting our house as I wait it to stave off any moments of cluckiness I have!

Almost off the page again.

BUMP!

Kylz - u look gorgeous - as always Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Puggie - that collection of knits is awesome! How thoughtful of your Ex's Mum. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you!

Millie - glad to hear your leg is getting better!

Do u like my new sig?? I made it myself - well Slide.com made it - i supplied the pics!! Hehe

Hope you all had a lovely Valentines Day!

There are so many freakzoids out there, obviously!

bu yes u must keep us updated on any exciting news u have or may get

not much doing my way - just waiting on a couple of agencies to get back to m with interview times with the actual client and thats gotta be the worst bit - waiting - whoeva invented should be beaten i think!

See ya.........................

oh Lissy u guys are gonna love Vegas!!!! we spent just over a week in vegas as a part of our honeymoon and we had an absolute ball, loved every min of it and so wanna go back!! have lots of fun over there oh where abouts in vegas are u guys staying??

Cheeky - ur slide show look pretty cool, nice work

Hi all - got a promotion at work today, but not really celebrating. Another staff member sent me a nasty email as he is pissed he did not get it Nice way to wreck it for me...

yeah it is a compliment!!! glad they are so interested as we (hubby & i) dont care the least at what they are up to or whats happening in there world CAUSE WE DONT CARE AND HATE THEM!!

ahh puggie.... you cant help that you are to good and best suited to the role... jealousy is a curse!! you just act normal and be you... its all there issues not yours- how childish to actually send you and email!!!! Keep your chin up.. rub it in slightly to them even.. now you know they have a problem with it!!!!!!! an yeah... i would definatly tell your boss. they need to know the "character" of these people before they are considered for another role!!

Lissy.. have so much fun!!! how fantasitc!! im jealous.. (whoops i just said that is a curse!!) well i wish it was me then!!!

Jules, sorry the job didnt work out- obviously wasnt meant to be.. i think one is going to come up real soon... just enjoy not working while you can!!

Well we have a fun weekend ahead.. i have a friend from home (newy) here.. so we are going to shop till we drop!! we went into the city last night for dinner- it was lovely!!

have a lovely weekend all
Shari oxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Thanks for the kind words, Mrs H. It's hard because in some ways this person was a better choice than I (and a more senior staff member) but at the same time, admin is my strong suit, and I think the big boss wanted to give me an opportunity (I have been overlooked several times in the past when opportunities have arisen).

All I can do is be myself and hope that in time he will realise I didn't intentionally go after this job

How nice to have a friend from home visit. I hope you both enjoy fun times for the duration of their visit (and that they like HOT weather!!)

Congratualtions on the promotion Puggie!! i think it was obviously given to u for a reason coz ur the better person for the role and sooner or later the nasty lil man who sent u the email will realise that and pull his head in

Thanks Shari - im thinking the same thing, it definately wasnt meant to be and there's something waiting for me just around the corner, just gotta find the right corner now - enjoy ur weekend with ur friend, im sure ull have a blast.....

Have a great weekend ladies

Puggie - Congratulations on your promotion! And the OP was really nasty to send u that email!! But you have a new role and obviously were more suited and that's all there is to it! The OP will get over it!
You just enjoy!!

Valissa - enjoy Vegas!!!

Jules - sorry to hear about the job something else will come your way and it will be much much better!

Hey Girls, sorry haven't been here in a while.

Cheeky i love your new sig! it looks great.

Sorry about your job Jules, hopefully something opens up soon for you.

Mrs H, yeh you tell the stalker, how rude of them!

Thanks for the pic Kylz, you have a little tiny bump, i can't wait to see it when it's bigger!

Harmonie, i have all the 900 photos from the photographer but i haven't editted the mock up of the album he sent me to what i like. i think i have become really lazy with the album, it's just harder than i thought.

Also im still waiting to recieve my wedding DVD video, the videoman did say it takes 3mths after the wedding, it's just over 3mths now & i'm over waitting for it. He sent an email to everyone about 2 weeks ago of pics of a newcastle nrl players wedding that he filmed. I was like 'whoop di do da!' stop bloody focusing on someone's wedding that you think is famous & process mine from 3mths ago!!!!
Okay i didn't say that, but i did reply asking how it was going & he said it was nearly finished.

Oh shit!! i just realised i proberly shouldn't be bitching about my Videoman as he actually reads the I-do forum & once replied when i was asking i-do girls if they knew anything about him (pre wedding stage). oh well!

Hope everyone's Valentine's Day was beautiful

Also some good news for me, On Valentine's day i found out I got a promotion at work! Yay! I can't wait to be out of the Call Centre environment, it can be so stressful with the constant calls & all the supervisors constantly monitoring you or listening in to your calls.

Congratulations on the promotions Amy and Carla! What an awesome start to 2007! And Amy don't you dare let that other staff member get to you! You were the one they approached for the job so they obviously thought you were more suited for the position. They can just sit around and feel sorry for themselves!!!!! You can sit around feeling GREAT about yourself

Lissy have a great time in Vegas you lucky lucky thing!!! And Juless i am crossing everything that something comes your way soon work wise......and you too

Well not much to report from about me. Everything is still going well and i am just having a really nice relaxing weekend (thank god for air con!!!!)

Good Morning lovelies

Thanks for the kind words guys - its just a waiting game now on getting a few call backs on interview times and this has to be the worst part - waiting waiting waiting - i can safely say im over the waiting its driving me insane!

Nothing new for me, had a great weekend celebrating my sisters b'day - hope everyone else had a fantastic weekend

Have a great day guys

Congratulations Amy and Carla - great news!!

Lissy - have fun in Vegas!!

Juless - good luck! I hate waiting too

Its all happening for the November gals!! How is everyones week looking?

Had a great weekend with my friend.. we shopped and shopped and ate!! IT WAS SO SO SO HOT!!!

other mrs h.. have you started your new role yet? how is your week going

Jules...any news yet?? i have my fingers and toes crossed for you

Carla.. what footy player did he video.. newcastle is my home! who cares if he reads it.. it is true.. all customers should be treated equal!!

morning gals!

Carla - congratulations on ur promotion it sounds like a great start to the new year for u and i hope ur video dude gets back to u shortly with ur wedding video....were still waiting on our official album and our dvd's too, dont think we'll see them for another month or so - kinda sucks but ill keep on waiting (it seems im getting good at it!!)

Mrs H - sounds like u girl had an awesome weekend yay for u despite the heat too.....

ive girls cross everything u have - ive got a real life interview today with a client and im liking the sound of this job so im hoping it goes well eeekk

have a great one

Good luck, Juless! Sorry I have been MIA a bit of late, ladies - new job is taking it's toll on me (and we are changing Internet providers over at home, so no access at the moment from there).

goodluck Jules! crossing my fingers for you, sorry had to uncross to type but am thinking of you.

Thanks girls, yeh it's pretty exciting, can't wait to start it, won't be till late next month.

Hey Mrs Hogan,

this is what my videoman wrote on the email to everyone, there is a link to the football players wedding. Sorry if anyone is a Fan of Newcastle, I just don't justify his wedding being put before mine!

'I recently had a great opportunity to shoot Danny Buderus* and Kris Hewitt's wedding on the 6th of January.

There is a new page dedicated to this high profile wedding on my website' - http://www.abrahamjoffe.com.au/danny_and_kris.html




after i got the email from the videoman about him filming Danny Buderus, i had no idea who he was & i had to google his name 'Danny Buderus', ahh he is a NRL player i thought!

Thanks for the well wishes girls (Carla ur a funny bugger ) interview went really well, the best one yet i reckon, i had everyone smiling and nodding their heads with everything i said so i thought that was a promising sign - downfall is that itll take a lil while to find out if i got it or not coz obviously they have other interviews to do and they gotta do a whole probity check on the ppl they choose so i think i have about a 2-3 week wait so we'll see what happens....but on the upside i just got a call from an agency that ive been chatting to for awhile and they have a position thats come up that they wanna put me forward for with a decent wage amount so i think ill give that go and see who calls to say they want me first - it cant hurt!

I was wondering where ud gotten to Puggie - hope the new job is treating u well and it sure sounds like its keeping u busy which is good thing i think - makes the days go faster

Carla - im sorry i wouldnt care who's video or photo's he'd done id like to think that they were all done and given out to his customers in some kind of an order - sheesh celebrities they have the life now dont they!

anyway enuf blabbing from me - have a great afternoon chicks

Hey Jules, sounds like the upside is coming for you! Can't wait to hear more good news!

Yes I agree I didn't bloody care that he did a Nrl player's wedding at all. i was like 'wo!' but you know how the photographers & videomen all like to Brag about what they think is 'their work' I feel like they don't own the work, they were paid to take photos & film, that's all.

No problem puggie.. but dont stay away for long!!! Great the new job is going well!

Fingers and toes crossed for you jules i hope the best one out of the 2 is yours! you deserve it.

Carla- ah i know him... well not personally- just a typical footy player.. he grooped me in a night club one night!!! how rude!! How dare he. but kinda claim to fame too!! hehe REGARDLESS if there the bloody queen all customers should be treated this same!!! hope it comes through soon

Mrs H! Don't Lie! You enjoyed it didn't you! hehe just kidding! Yep sounds like the typical football player, the stories you hear about them cracking on to girls in clubs & then getting the shits when the girl doesn't play back etc.

Thanks though, I ll let you girls know first thing when I hear my video is ready.

hehe!! yeah i loved it!! only for braging rights now.. not at the time!!!

keep us posted!

hi everyone. I havent been on here since my wedding! Just wanted to say congratulations to Kylie on the pregnancy! It seems this is the year for babies - i know 5 people having one this year! Not me though... i have no plans for one for a couple of years yet

Anyway, i hope you're all well and enjoying your married lives.

- Marissa

Hi Marissa,
Glad you popped in!
Its definatly the year for babies!!
Whats been happening lately? How quick has it gone since "our" wedding day? (we too got married on 18th)
xoxoxoxo

Hey Marissa!!

I was wondering where ud gotten to as we havent heard from u in ages.....it sure does feel like ages since we all got married - so do tell how'd ur wedding day go?? do u have any piccies to share??

Just popping in to say hi. I barely have time to scratch myself at the moment. Sigh.
