LOL - it's the vino, it makes you make mistakes! I am still getting used to laptop keys as opposed to pc keys... I am loving it

PiggyPenguin · 02/10/2007 21:07

Baby Jack sounds like good fun though. Just think what a great big brother you are going to have there after all this practice!

We've never been through the imaginary friend route, although my kids love Dora and fully expect that any sibling that comes into our house in the future will be part of a boy/girl twin variety. Especially as DS wants boy and DD wants girl. Also, close friends have boy/girl twins so they have decided thats their choice. I am hoping to disappoint one of them!

Sorry, got hooked on Youtube... DH was singing the Raccoons theme tune today, and I had to find it for him

x-posts Ready were we both sitting there waiting for someone else to post? A kind of posting stalemate?

Hi MT
I can sympathise with your 5.30am start - we had my godson here for the weekend, so I've been initiated into what life is like with a LO around!
Would the 'baby free' day at the baby show be known as the totally deluded mad women day?? If so I think I might be free... (or do you get a free baby? Yes the old sugar-free joke - I'll get my coat
'Baby Jack' sounds like fun at the mo, are you worried or just amused? Or does DS think 'Baby Jack' is a DBro/Sis for him?

If you are then I am too!!!

mistelthrush - how cute about Baby Jack, it is very interesting the timing of it all. Makes you wonder what children know.

mistlethrush · 02/10/2007 20:26

Can I join the life raft? Dh managed boinging at roughly the appropriate time this month (which makes a change), so at least I've got a flicker of a hope, however, not going to be on tenterhooks or anything.

Ds being 'dramatic' as nursery nurse put it rather well on Monday - either absolutely loving and sweet or throwing a complete paddy with fists hammering the floor and the full works. 5.30am rise on Sat am didn't go down too well with me... Almost managed a couple of days earlier but we got 'want a wee' at a critical moment and dh was asleep when I got back

Fi, hope you're feeling a bit better - any idea what the recovery period is? I know that even with a minor op the general anasthetic makes me feel grotty for at least 3 weeks - and that's without anything else major to make me feel bad.

Baby show - we really need a special 'baby free' day when you're only allowed in if you're bump and baby free!

Sybil - ((hugs)). Luckily with last one for me it was an early mc so I had not got to the stage of working out edd. 1st one pretty awful as I found out that my last chemo treatment was on my edd - then would have to wait a further year, so not a great time. I was quite relieved that ds was not 6 days earlier than he was (which wasn't out of the question given the size he was).

We have a very strange situation here though. Ds now has an imaginary 'baby Jack' who gets mentioned quite regularly with no prompting. Baby Jack is normally female, although very occasionally changes sex for the weekend (probably very useful if you ask me!). Baby Jack is so 'real' that I had to go back up the veg department in Sainsbury's and pick her off the floor for ds so we didn't leave her behind. She first appeared about 3 or 4 months ago, just around the time that I would have been expecting. Weird or what? Any thoughts?

Get obsessed with dates nomore - it's all we've got to cling on to!!

nomoremagnolia · 02/10/2007 19:17

ooh, and you sybil
Heck - let's all get pg this month

OP posts:
nomoremagnolia · 02/10/2007 19:16

Ready It's a deal for pgs and baby show!

OP posts:
nomoremagnolia · 02/10/2007 19:15

sybil (((hugs)))
Ready It's a deal

Now I'm not getting obsessed with dates or anything but...if I'm pg this cycle it would be due around the time of our wedding anniversary (and would have been conceived on the anniversary of when we met )

OP posts:
Ready · 02/10/2007 19:11

Sorry sybil hope the day went by without any extra stresses and upset. Fingers crossed for you this cycle.

Nomore - It's a deal, when we have bumps (would be so cool to have them together) we will go to the show and get lots of freebies

I have a killer headache

PiggyPenguin · 02/10/2007 19:09

It would be great to get good news together nomore, no moving to scary new pg threads on our own then!

PiggyPenguin · 02/10/2007 19:07

Glad I'm not the only one who feels they are being haunted by pg ladies in Tesco's, I swear the place is full of them at the moment. It must be all those xmas/new year pg's coming to fruition.

The baby I mc'd would have been due 2 days ago. I am really really hating all those bumps at present. Still, at least the day has passed and I can move on from it now.

nomoremagnolia · 02/10/2007 19:05

Hi sybil looks like the new thread has done the trick of bringing you all out of the woodwork I'm due on Mon/Tues, so I'm waiting with you.

OP posts:
PiggyPenguin · 02/10/2007 19:03

A fantastic shiny new thread - brilliant! No longer chasing DH around the bedroom, AF is due on Sunday so firmly in the 2ww, but no o sign on my persona so I have written this month off. At least that is what I keep telling myself...

(Umm, Sybil wonders if anyone will believe she's not still manically hoping for a surprise bfp...)

nomoremagnolia · 02/10/2007 19:03

When we have bumps we can go together and make everyone else jealous as revenge

OP posts:
nomoremagnolia · 02/10/2007 19:02

Yeah, but if you know they're going to be there it's better than them being all around you unexpectedly in Tesco (not that I get mobbed by pg ladies when I go shopping but you know what I mean) It's a great chance to indulge myself - it's all my virtual shopping for real! Went with same friend in March this year when GS was 6 weeks old - we got lots of freebies!!!

OP posts:
Ready · 02/10/2007 18:58

Oh my goodness!! That looks like heaven!! Although there would probably be lots of bumps walking about, and that would upset me

nomoremagnolia · 02/10/2007 18:54

oops missed a ) there!!

OP posts:
nomoremagnolia · 02/10/2007 18:54
