good job Kveta for starting the new thread and nice title
Thanks for all the nice words - GP just rang me,is going to see whether they still have my booking bloods and if they can still be used for the chicken pox test,otherwise will go and have blood taken.don't know how long the results take to come back...Poor DS is so poorly,he is permanently attached to me or DH and not eating at all.
warlin - isn't it so nice when you get a gift,makes you realise that it is real for others besides yourself and DP. I know what you mean about the "pearls of wisdom"...
SSC sorry to hear about your weekend
Ceej huge congrats on your thesis!!!

Hi all,
ffnorm - sorry to hear about the cp. Must be hard enough trying to comfort your poorly DS without the worry over LO too! I?m sure it?ll be fine. 
Seriously - that must have been so disappointing, on your planned weekend away. DH and I are aware that we only have a few more opportunities for us to go away just as a couple, and I?d be furious if one of them was wasted because the hotel messed up like that! Grrr...
ceeej - well done on getting your thesis in!
Tea - NCT sales sound like they might be a bit scary! Do I need to get my elbows out ready to defend myself against shoving! 
Mini - you must be relieved to be off work now. Hope it gives you the time you need to rest and look after yourself.
Warlin - good luck with the self-control on eating. I?ve just about got myself disciplined, and at least I?ve proved to myself now that every time I trough, I really will pay for it!
Anyone else getting cramps in their legs at night? Got one so bad on Friday that it?s actually strained my calf muscle and I?m hobbling around now!
Saw my parents at the weekend. They?ve put aside some of my niece?s old clothes for us, and because we don?t know the sex of DC yet, DM?s divided them into ?girl?s? and ?unisex?...but she?s clearly got a different idea about what counts as ?unisex? than I do! Cerise top with puffed sleeves, anyone? (I thought I didn?t care, but DB pointed out that I?d be all right-on and non-gender-specific until I eventually got fed up with people saying ?Oh what a lovely girl!? when it was a boy or vice versa, and then I?d go all out on sparkly butterflies or camouflage prints!) So have somehow ended up in the position that the only item of baby clothing I have is a swimsuit.

Hi all,
I've just found this thread - can I join? I'm due on 5th June with #3. Wasn't sure if I should join this or the May thread 'cos both my previous 2 were early (pre-eclampsia & IUGR so induction and EMCS respectively) and I fully expect to have this one in May.
Have had textbook pg so far - just the usual aches/pains/niggles but am completely paranoid/scared about everything going wrong from about 30 wks which is what happened with the other two. However both others were boys and this is (we think) a girl so maybe she'll be different - here's hoping

Hiya everyone!
Just posting so I can keep track of you lot!
Just back from a midwife's appt - every one I have where my blood pressure behaves is a triumph as I'm unreasonably sure it's going to go high for no reason; so far, so good!
Next week is another scan on the Tuesday and then my GTT on the Friday. So many appointments I'm losing track! Will feel more relaxed when I'm past the GTT I think.
I'm still resisting the pushchair, although those of you that have pointed out I could treat myself to make up for the missed weekend away have a very persuasive argument...
Hope everyone is well and that those of you who aren't feeling tip top at the moment manage to feel a bit better soon - and those of you starting maternity leave feel better for the time to chill out.
Things are so busy at work right now that I must admit to looking forward to when I start my annual leave then mat leave - 11 weeks on Friday this week. Not that I'm counting. Not at all.

Not sharp elbows required at the NCT sale, but ankles of steel! Lots of people seemed to bring along their little ones and abandon them once inside the hall - cue lots of toddlers all playing with the toys for sale, and mainly pushing around toy prams and the like and tripping you up! The adults were very well behaved though
Definitely worth getting there early if you are after a bargain though (but be prepared for the queue) - we left it too late really. Ah well, you live and learn!
Next MW appointment on Thurs, really looking forward to it!

Cathfin DS2 is 3.3. He was 3 in December and has just started showing an interest in using the potty and toilet. I've got him Fireman Sam pants which he loves and wears over his nappy but I think they might be helping as he doesn't want to get Fireman Sam wet.
Seriously I don't know what to say to help you except for my MW says its fine to sleep on your right side. It's your back they worry about due to the baby lying on a nerve. I have that white chestnut rescue remedy stuff. I don't know if it actually helps or not but I feel I sleep better using it. I hope you get some good sleep soon.

Morning all!
seriously when I was pregnant with dd I didn't even know that sleeping on your left side is best!And this time I find sleeping on my right is more comfy and that's what I do most of the time...Don't stress yourself over that.You will not be sleeping on your back as it's really uncomfy at this stage and it comes naturally that you'll switch to one of your sides.As about not sleeping through the night ...well it may not happen for a loooong while yet
...hope you have a nice day today

hiya,
my aunt died this morning, so the end finally came for her :( family pretty distraught, obviously. however, there is some solace in that she died at home, surrounded by her family, and just drifted off to sleep.
Seriously, I haven't slept since this pg began either. On top of 2 years with interrupted sleep from DS, I am feeling pretty broken too! Trying not to cry in front of DH, as he can't do anything about it, but I'm finding myself weeping at nothing a lot. I did hear that pg hypnosis cds are good for helping with sleep, so have got one - but it says to use only when you won't be interrupted for 25 minutes, and not whilst driving or before bed. Um, those are the only times I won't be interrupted... Not sure what to do. Will probably try and use it at bed time, as that has to be safer than driving! I have worked out now I've had 5 hours sleep since saturday morning. Not enough...
Kayzr yay for your DS! hope you have a nice quick training! my ghastly toddler isn't well (has a cold) so isn't sleeping at all, and is screaming when we ask if he wants to use the potty. After a week without dirty nappies, it's a bloody nuisance that he's reverting.
speaking of DS, I am about at the end of my tether with him. He was off nursery yesterday with a temperature, so DH took the morning off to look after him whilst I came into work, and apparently he was really good, well behaved etc. Then I got home, and he started whining at me, inserting a million letters into the word 'mummy' ('mmmmuuuuuuuummmmmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' whine whine whine) and generally being a pain. And at dinner he kept spitting his food at me, then screaming when I removed it from him. Then in the bath, he peed into his hair washing jug and screamed blue murder when I cruelly wouldn't let him drink it 
. Finally I got him out of the bath and he was kicking and screaming and going 'go WAY mummy, want DADDY'. So I ended up doing the dishes and crying whilst DH dealt with hideous-child. And the little bugger was up every hour during the night too. GAH. It was very much a 'drop kick across the threshold' morning at nursery.
sorry, am all doom and gloom at the moment. Miserable tuesday today :(
new folk, please copy and paste the stats to add yourself to them. and welcome to the thread of joy :o
