Get Those Jobs Done !!

Sooooooo Although this one is technically for the "before the 2 ww" make sure you get those jobs done, because once your Pregnant you might not be able to do it, due to health or lifting restrictions placed on you.

Painting is not only probably not very good for you whilst your pregnant but if you have been like me then you wouldnt be able to stand the smell anyways.

So get those Jobs done !

* Painting - when pregnant not only the chemicals but the smell might drive you nuts.
* Gardening - This would be digging, turfing, bricklaying and any other back breaking chores.
* Gutter Cleaning - You will not want to be up a ladder when your up the duff.
* Clean your kitchen - Ok I really can't be bothered bending down and scrubbing my kitchen cupboards and it shows and due to a lack of pre-pregnancy organization all the pot's and pans are literally bubbling out of my cupboards. Should have had a clean out.


I am sure there are a 1000 more but right now these are the things that come to mind.

I didn't realize how useless I would become around the home but Id rather be over cautious then over regretful.

Prepare Food "Just In Case"

Ok this one may seem a little silly, but when I was pregnant I had terrible morning sickness and was unable to prepare food as any cooking smell would make me yack.

Sooo I decided that each two week wait I would prepare some meals for the freezer "Just in Case"

If we didn't get pregnant than at least we would have some meals ready to go to get me through the AF induced depression.

Of course you can not make enough meals to last your whole Pregnancy or morning sickness stage, but at least it might take a little of the pressure off on those really bad day's or when hubby is just fedup doing all the cooking.

Obsess !

If you are in the 2ww (again) than you might get to the point where you start obsessing looking for answers.

You can spend hours looking over your charts again and again and if your lucky your might spot something different and get excited.

If u have been Pregnant before and were charting that thats even better because then you can go over and over the chart trying to see what you did different.

obsessing over charts, dates and cycles is not a sign you are going insane, but it is quite close to the line.

Obsessing can fill in up t0 2-3 hours a day or if you are hard core than 6-8 hours like me.
Going over and over and over again.

Do remember that there is life outside of cycle charting.

For The POAS Addicts

POAS - Pee on A stick is a fun term used for taking a pregnancy test or a ovulation test. Peeing on sticks is something most women trying to conceive are familiar with.

So if your an POAS addict and need a fix then how about watching some videos of other people who have pee'd on a stick as well as a very funny clearblue ad.

---ClearBlue Technology---



---Couples BFP---



---Blondes BFP---


Of course You Tube is filled with 100's of videos if you find one you think should be included here let me know. I spent hours watching 100s of videos with about 60% of them being in really really really poor taste. I even felt the need to flag few.

I hope you enjoyed the video's

Free Baby Dust

This is one more thing to do in the 2ww, setup yet another blog. Ok so I have had a lot of 2ww's to think about what websites I want to do. :)

You can now have some (free) Baby dust sent out to you in the mail for a little fun and inspiration.
So visit my new website http://www.freebabydust.com

Belly Gallery





If the two week wait isn't torture enough then how about torturing yourself some more by looking at pregnant belly's that are disappointedly not your own.

Why torture yourself ? because hopefully one day you too will have one and like these women you too will be proud enough to take photos of each and every stage.

If it all get's too much don't forget you can go back to shoving a pillow under your shirt for a few hours till you feel better.
