Lots of love

Irene looking at your stats... if the DD is correct you're 6+2 today.... or if the weeks + days is correct then your DD is 28/10....?!?

KnitterNotTwitter · 01/03/2011 13:51

Meant to tell you all a funny story.... On Friday when I dropped my DS off at her house I told my mum that I was 6 weeks. She's thrilled and keeping her fingers crossed. I told her to tell my Dad. That evening I phoned to see how my DS was getting on and my Dad answered the phone. After a couple of minutes chat you could hear my mum in the background reminding him to say congratulations to me. Dad turned to her and said 'but I thought it was a secret and I wasn't to talk to anyone about it?' :)

Bless him...

We've told him that it's ok to talk to me, DH, my MIL and my DSis about the pregnancy :)

Still makes me chuckle

Look at us scaredy cats at the bottom not sorting out our scan dates. Feeling OCD too MummyA Heron your EDD and weeks aren't matching - any chance you are over the magic 6w mark - I would so love to move up a week!!! Love the name btw herons are even luckier than squirrels in my crazy little world! Grin

Teacakes keep being strong. You can do it!

Not putting my edd down because I'm not sure what it is yet, but sometime mid-October (or September if it's early like ds was).

Had a strange night. Woke up about 3am to an aching throb on the right a bit near my ovary. Wasn't awful, but found it hard to get back to sleep from mind going into paranoid overdrive.

teacake thinking of you this morning

nickstermum · 01/03/2011 11:20

mamap i lived in leggings til 12 weeks. Am still living in leggings now!! Anything else is just not comfy at all, i think bean is very low in my uterus and anything that cuts across hurts... even the over bump stuff!

Looking at the list - gosh... romping away now.
Not long til 12 weeks daisy!
pink 10 weeks - fab!

Really had better go and do some work!

Wombat33 · 01/03/2011 10:45

Morning all! Hugus for those who are wibbling today xxx

Also just to say I'm thinking of you this morning Teacake. I hope the EPU are being sensitive to you and that the results are better than you expected.

Yey for the house mamap!! Grin We're looking for one too. Didn't want to get ahead of ourselves by rushing into buying too early before we knew all okay with this pg. But now I'm beginning to think that if the blood results from the nuchal come back okay we're going to have to get our skates on a bit if we want to be in and settled before Sept! Oh I'm scared that I'm allowing mysellf to start to get excited. Still bleeding too, but am beginning to think that might be a permanet state of affairs during this pg. Consultant said as much yesterday.

Quick update to the list as my dates are a bit out.

AR baby wouldnt behave for nuchal scan, and rather than paying 300 quid for a private one we decided to wait til 16 week quad blood tests which is standard, which is what we did with DS, and were low risk with him. I wanted to spend the money having a 4D scan later on during pg if we got that far, we didnt with DS and bitterly regretted it. Wobblings normal, the only way i managed to get through it was because i had been given a new job for 3 months as PM to the integration of our biggest ever client... which has now spilt over into my FT job... kept me sane, a little stressed but kept my mind busy!

yey for the hoose MP Grin fab news, love it when a plan all comes together

Last night i did have a bit of a meltdown, but i think it was needed. DH just didnt understand at all, and kept saying 'its bad for baby!' [helpful!]
did me good to get it out my system and i feel much better for it now. :)

Extra special squishes for all those with a DD coming up... you know who you are xxx

Hiya all, just putting myself on the list. Am just off to the park with DS on his scooter so can't stay.

AandRMum · 01/03/2011 08:40

Meant to say thanks Nix - lots of wobbling going on - brain in overload so basically not doing anything I am supposed to be doing ...

MamaP how incredibly exciting to have found your house Yipeee! Send through the recipe. I love them. Friends used to freeze the mint mix in ice cube trays so they could whip them up in a second's notice - we liked going around to theirs!!

AandRMum · 01/03/2011 08:36

velvet I am avoiding a particular friend because she can sniff out a pregnancy at 50 paces - amazing skill. She almost knew before me on DD1!

Orange a good cry sounds great. I have a feeling I will be right there with you.

No morning sickness but am fighting with DH which I never really do and just want to bawl my eye out.

Dachs good luck with auditors - yuck! Glad things are going well.

Tunnock thinking of you today!

MamaP have funny image of your bra twanging and buttons popping all over the place - how long do you have to wait?!

Nix how did you get to 17 weeks without the downs thing being sorted yet - I thought that test was at 12 weeks? A long delay in response sounds very positive. Friend just had a downs baby with heart problem and possible leaukemia and thyroid issues - just so scary. It is playing horribly on my mind - why am I borrowing problems -

KnitterNotTwitter · 01/03/2011 08:26

Feel bleugh today and am busy cancelling meetings from home so I can go back to bed.... Suspect this is a hint of morning sickness.... by my dates I'm 7 weeks today... hospital dates are 6+4....

Velvet good for you asking him to move out :) Somehow some women seem to be able to tell, has Confused me
Nix I hope yesterday went as best it could. My DD is my friends birthday :(
Yay Mamap glad things are getting sorted. Virgin Mojitos sound awesome :)

Sorry for being quiet, I spent the weekend sleeping and worrying (and trying not to worry) :( then went to take some shoes in to be re-heeled and the man was rude so very uncharacteristically I burst into tears. I think it broke the dam cos I cried for about 2 hours after, then felt a lot better :)

I'm attempting the list on my phone, sorry in advance if I get thing wrong

mamap well done on the house offer!! Looks like your plan is all coming togetherGrin. I would LOVE the mojito recipe please. Its my fave cocktail, never been able to make it at home despite several earnest attempts.

Velvetcu · 28/02/2011 22:23

Yay mamap glad you found a house :) I'm looking forward to visiting the bar for virgin mojitos

When do you make 12 weeks? I'm gonna have big problems with bras soon, I don't even think an extender will help me out

mamapower · 28/02/2011 22:11

Aye up campers! We finally got a house, baby shall have a nursery whooop! Was starting to think we'd never find one but we viewed another 5 today and the last one was the one and we've had our offer accepted, so hoping that all goes smoothly and with a little luck the house and business will be ours by April! Phew!

I had a decadent weekend of, wait for it, Mojto's Grin of the virgin variety and I can tell you that you can't taste the difference Grin Honestly, blooming loverly. So great I got the recipe from the bar man, anyone want it, just shout.
Oh and I am now officially huge, existing bra's are a pointless item that no longer can be worn, even with extenders, without inflicting painful marks, jeans are out and leggings are in... please please please will 12 weeks hurry up and arrive so I can buy some maternity wear!

Hope you are all well, I'll try an do a proper catch up tomorrow Smile Night all Smile
