Angels and Rainbows - The beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of the storm. But it can provide colour and hope.

Whatever- I don't know, she said in the message she was texting because she didn't know when she would see me next. ( she lives 2 mins away) I think it's just the shock of it, I will be ok once it has sunk in a bit. Who knows, we might be of at the same time.
Thanks for listening to me moaning away. X

fan there are loads of free foods on SW too, have a couple of books here from when dh was doing it. I think they go by cutting fats and oils out, so with cooking use the fry light sprays. They're actually nice to cook food in as well, there are a few different ones like a buttery one, normal one etc. If you like quorn/meatfree then they're a really good food to use as some are free foods, I think the sausages are and the "ham" etc.

Well just got back from SW and it looks pretty easy have already written out my food for tomorrow. I was pretty mortified that I was that heavy, I havnt weighed myself since before I feel pg woth Fi and well from that weight to this its over three stone! Ooops! I'm feeling good that I'm doing something about it.

Fx razz that LO can stay in a little longer.

too pack you bag lady! Lol. Do you want me to pop round a do it for you? I love packing! I'm so excited for you, can't wait to hear of Theas sisters arrival and her name and everything really.

angel how did your meeting go?

angel I'm not surprised your friend said that, I can totally believe it!

Too you're right, I should just stop worrying about why I don't feel bad and be happy :) 3 days! Wow, so close now :o Oops re the email, I hope things smooth over.

Razz watch those low numbers, that's why I was induced, I couldn't keep them up and ended up with lower readings after eating than I had before I ate. How low are you?

Razz good luck Friday xxx keep your chin up nearly there .xxx
Whatever a planned section was great. As relaxed & chilled as can be. I'd highly recommend it.
Hi all: love to all xxx

Hello ladies
too you naughty girl but how funny, bet dh was mortified!! Counting down your days with you, it is so exciting. I am also having a section, just got back from pre-op which was all fine.
angel I am very jealous of all of the trips you have planned, they sound fab.
cheese so glad things are going so well for you, it is much deserved. My sugars are more low than high at the moment, makes me feel quite unwell.
mias Im sorry the witch arrived again.
Good luck to both blizy and fan for swi this month, enjoy it.........hope rat babies are ok fan. Also, well done to all of you on the road to slimming.
ciwi, lovely name and you must be so happy to be safely home with your little man.
august really hope the time together benefits you and dh and that some of your worries are lessened.
Hi wtw, I didnt tell my children until around 17 weeks (after a scan) and it was so hard as I knew how excited they would be. Just kept tellling myself I was protecting them if that makes sense.

Im back for ctg in the morning and have a scan and mw appointment on friday which all helps with the anxiety levels. Take care all x

Something very horrible . Part of it was that she was thick as mince. However, she seems to have forgiven DH magnanimously in the interests of getting to hear all about Bean on Friday and I don't really care if she doesn't forgive me because I'm not going back to work for 10 months and I don't have to work with her even when I'm there. DH didn't write anything about her, luckily - possibly because he has more sense than to put something inflammatory down in an email, even if it was supposed to be a private communication between husband and wife.

It's an ELCS, Wtw. I still haven't packed my bag...I'm going in for my first steroid injection tomorrow, pre-op checks and steroid no 2 on Thurs and then the big day on Fri!

Oops, no not my new name. Forgot to change back before posting that on my phone! Doesnt really matter now. I've got severe baby-brain at the moment!

Too! Yikes, has your colleague said anything? What were you saying about her?!

Causing trouble with a work colleague - DH and I work for the same organisation but not in the same office. I emailed him yesterday slagging off the woman who sits next to him and she read it over his shoulder. I am an idiot!

NYD, glad to hear you and DH are working on things and hope you have a lovely dinner together. Is this your new name?

Am fine when not lying awake in the dark counting kicks. Only 3 days to go! It's very strange. I am simultaneously excited and petrified.

Why? What's she done?

Btw, thx too - I'm ok, DH and i are working on things, not just on his terms either - have put my foot down! Going for dinner this w/e for some time alone to talk about the future. How are you???? Just a few more days! So exciting.

Hey! What are you doing on here? Out! Stop telling people bad things about me!

too has been very naughty.....

at Princess Anne being anything like a Disney princess!

Wtw, for K. Not long until you can tell her now, though, and she'll be so excited, bless her.

Cheese, ouch at Ella's tooth! How special to be born with a tooth, though - clever little girl! I don't think you should worry about not getting baby blues - the whole last 15 months or so have been really miserable for you, so I think you've had more than your fair share of depression and sadness up front. Not to mention the stress of Ella being in special care for the first couple of weeks. You'll just be so relieved to finally have her home safe that baby blues are a world away. Don't knock it, sweetheart! Anyway, as you say, now you are just worrying about other things instead, like sleep apnea.

Angel, Fan and Blizy, hope the SW meetings etc are helping and aren't too boring! I'm going to weigh myself for the first time since my booking in appt on Thursday night and see what the damage is . Then at least I can tell myself I lost a stone in a day, or whatever it is, post-section. Cheating, I know! I found a document (weight loss diary thing) the other day I'd started last May when I was just starting to try to lose weight after Thea, and I was shocked at how self-loathing it was. I'm going to try really hard not to get back into that mental state again.

Vicky, congrats to your brother, and what a sweet thing to say!

Miasmum, boo for AF! FX for a BFP soon.

August, hope you're feeling okay. I saw your other thread too and your head must be spinning. I don't have any specific advice for you, but we're always here to hold your hand if you need it.

Cheese^ glad alls well with Ella & you all. I have to have holidays & breaks to enjoy otherwise I see it I m just working to pay the mortgage & childcare ( in 5 weeks time). Know what you mean about feeling like a huge weight has been lifted. You change your potential worries.my friends said after Phoebe was born I looked 10 years younger , my face had "lifted" !! Ouch... To Ella's tooth!!! Xxx
^Whatever xxx hugs xxx

whatever we were going to wait until 20 weeks to tell the dcs but as we had a car crash on the way to school just before my 12 week scan we had to tell them as I had to tell the ambulence when they came. I had a scan the same day to make sure all was ok. Our hand was forced but it was good to tell them.

wtw princess anne. There's going to be a march thru town of hms collingwood aswell.
Apparently I was the same as K, and when my little bro turned up, I used to mother him, climb into the cot with him, and translate what he was trying to say.

wtw just think of how excited K will be when you show her that scan pic at 20 weeks she will be so excited, thats something to look forward to.
Im working in the areas around the library, the museum and generally around town. Yeah the beds are looking pretty good, and the council is going manic as we have a royal visitor this month.
