My friends with more than one DC have all kept their kids in nursery during mat leave and none have said that it was upsetting for them. Will deffo be lovely to have Snuggly Time with Kip the Second.

Your scan on Mon is your dating scan is it Trix? Do they not do nuchal scan at same time at all in your region? Will be nice to see Trix Jnr again on 29th anyway :)

Gosh, I can't imagine how it must feel to go back to work after mat leave Cups. I don't know what I'll do about work. Both Mr Imps and I work a pretty long commute from home and I really don't see how that will be feasible with nursery pick-ups etc. Oh well, we can worry about that nearer the time.

Right, just one more day to get through and then it's the weekend. Thank god, it's been a fucker of a week at work.

That's spooky far! How are you all doing?

trix how come you have another scan before your nuchal one?

Happy Friday all! I'm off on hols on Sunday - woo boo!

Hiya cups can't believe you're back yoywork soon. Are you dreading it? Are you getting much sleep yet...? What are your childcare plans? Sorry if that's nosy. I'm planning to keep s at her 3 days in nursery while on m/l to give me plenty of time with my snuggly baby. She enjoys it but am worried she will be sad to go if she knows I'm not at work

farfallarocks · 09/06/2016 22:20

Woo hoo imps! Yay! I think BB had a rather gorgeous profile already!
Little far told me I had a baby in my tummy and it was a boy when I was 6 weeks, we had not
Said anything to her!
Must get her to choose some
Lottery numbers.....

He probably knows already to some extent then. Does he talk much yet? I'd probably just talk about it as if it's just another fact, as in 'yes, tea is nearly ready, yes, mummy has a baby in her tummy'. However will be fine I'm sure. S is quite obsessed with babies and what lays eggs and what grows babies etc, so it's easy to talk about with her.

cartoontrickster · 09/06/2016 18:01

How sweet! It's a long time for them to wait though isn't it. We haven't been secretive, its been talked about in front of him loads but haven't actually spoken to N about it. I'm not sure when to tell him

keepitgoing · 09/06/2016 17:28

Also we didn't do a big 'reveal' to her about the baby, just dropped it into conversation matter of factly. She always knows what's going on clearly a genius

keepitgoing · 09/06/2016 17:27

Glad you're feeling a bit better trix. I love pineapple but it's a FAFF to chop etc. In Thailand you buy it predone in a bag, I think kip was built on it!

Told her v early, I think after 7wk scan, in an attempt to stop her clambering on /kicking my tummy. Figured if something went wrong she would just accept it as fact and not be upset. She's really excited now, but it has seemed a long time for her. She says now 'but mummy your tummy is fat now, will the baby be born soon'...

pasta lovely time for a holiday - enjoy! Love the thought of 15m doing golf.

cartoontrickster · 09/06/2016 14:01

Great scan pics geek and imps thems real babies you got there! Congratulations on getting to such big mile stones!

I'm ok with liquids again! Which is great in this weather, and in turn means fruit is more appealing. I had some pineapple the other day (which I rarely have) and it tasted AMAZING. Still feeling sickly though and eating like a horse.
I have a scan on Monday. I also have the date for my nuchal scan I think it was the 29th, so I'm getting there!
keep how far along were you when you told kip?

Pastamancer · 08/06/2016 21:44

Lovely scan pictures. We are in Butlin's at the moment, it is roasting. DD1 did crossbow today, it was a nightmare trying to get her to aim. DD2 is turning out to be a golf expert, she is hitting the ball with the club pretty accurately which is a bit scary seeing as she is nearly 15 months.

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 08/06/2016 15:51

How could I forget Beedle?! Is your scan next week? X

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 08/06/2016 15:50

Aww how cute is Barry-Baxter Imps?! I'm so pleased everything is going ok Imps. Bless you, I was an absolute state at my 20 week scan. It's hard not to worry but the chances of anything being wrong are so low.

Geek big hugs for you lovely lady! Great news on your 12 week scan and I'm loving all the pics of Geeklette

Trix that 10 weeks seems to have gone quick!

Keep glad everything is going ok for Kip2 Smile

I'm also stuck in a dead end job, back to work in 2 weeks ShockSad

Loopy hope you are doing ok x

BeedlesPineNeedles · 08/06/2016 09:59

imps I Think you need to go onto the baby names board and ask for other similar suggestions as you like Barry-Baxter for a boy and Lucretia for a girl :o
