I think that's the first time I've had to go back a whole page to catch up!

Well we are finished moving (as of yesterday) Everything went pretty smoothly until clumsy me sliced my hand when rushing around on Friday. I hated having to spend 3 hours at hospital alone while everyone else moved my home :( Took a few tries to stop the bleeding but eventually a shot of adrenaline did the trick :thumbsup:

So I am still unpacking bit by bit and settling into a much smaller but nicer unit in a more central location, and we got Foxtel IQ hooked up (IQ I think is same as Tivo :confused:) and our internet is faster as we are closer to the exchange.

Oh...and AF is now three days late. I did a test yesterday morning and it was weird. The control line came up immediately but then afterwaiting 5 minutes a blotchy (like dribbled paint looking) second line appeared directly next to the control line? Not where the positive result is supposed to be!

If anyone else has had this happen please help me out here...I'm going a little nuts! :help:

Glad to hear everyone else is still hanging in there, and none of us are yet to hold up a Baby Target or anything :D

I hope I'm posting in the right place. i am really upset because my husband and I were planning on having children - starting to try in February.

It was one of the reasons I continued working for my current employer - and am supposed to be training up to be a teacher with them.

Anyway, things have all gone wrong. I'm off work with stress and I know now that I cannot continue in the job. I keep losing weight and I am quite depressed. My husband has now said he doesn't want to try for children. he wants me to be settled in a career first. But it could take me a t least another year to try and train again to be a teacher, and I just want a baby. he thinks I'm not emotionally stable enough to make the decision. But I have had enough of trying to establish a career. It's too stressful.

My husband's angry with me for asking him again today about a baby. I'm so mierable. We've been married for seven years, and I'm nearly 30. I just don;t want to wait any longer. Sorry, I know there's not much anyone can do, but there isn't really anyone I can talk to about this. I'm just hurting a lot.

:hug:

Why does your dh want you to be established in your career first? Will you be a SAHM when you have kids or will you work?
It must be really frustrating for you - I know it would be for me!
Is there a way that you could tell your dh how you really feel?
I pray that the Lord leads both of you in this. :pray:

My hubby has just phoned since I posted. He said his main issue is that he's really worried about whether we will have enough money and whether he will be a good enough dad. He also said he was worried about trying for a baby while I am so low because he thinks it's an excape. I can understand his point, but I think I might be low because I actually want a baby and am not really inerested in a career.

He's agreed to talk finances with me this week and at least have a look at how much having a baby might cost and how we could make sure we could afford to do it. I guess it will just be small steps from there. He's not a Christian yet. I've been praying for him, but am still waiting for that to happen. Maybe when he becomes a Christian that will make things easier.

Thank you for the hug and the support.

I was always told that until you get in your 2nd trimester, you can pretty much do anything sports related - and only after the 2nd tri, you just have to watch the belly.

My cousin played competitive soccer for years and would play well into her 7th month.

That being said, it is up to you, your abilities, and what you think your body can tolerate. Mommies and Mommies-to-be are allowed to be illogical if they are protecting their babies.
