Bye Playing,
Enjoy your evening,
Speak Soon!

Playingthewaitinggame · 22/02/2008 17:11

Have fun with your baby making and take away Kay. Enjoy your weekend BB, have a good birthday. Bye everyone else .

I am leaving work today (nearly) on time, well only 15 mins late, better the 6:45 which was when I left yesterday and I am supposed to finish at 5! Mind you maybe I should spend less time on MN and more time working

I have been promised a pamper night tonight, DH cooks whilst I am in the bath, then after dinner I am going to get a full body massage . Lovely.

"See" you all on Monday.

kayzisbroody · 22/02/2008 17:10

Dh has just suggested a take away!!
I love that man.
Take away, wine and baby making. What more could you need on a Friday night?

Playingthewaitinggame · 22/02/2008 16:41

I all, yes it has been quiet today, maybe cos Natalie is feeling poorly!

I cannot wait, I am feeling a bit of a rebel today, I might leave work on time , it would be lovely to leave at 5!

BeMyLilBaby · 22/02/2008 16:39

thank you for your bday wishes, got lots of nice things planned cant wait x

kayzisbroody · 22/02/2008 16:19

Its quite spookily quiet.

Playingthewaitinggame · 22/02/2008 14:49

wow we are being good today, very quiet on here! Hi Cosmo . Wouldn't worry abotu cramps and the like, suspect your body and hormones just have no idea whats going on!

Diege · 22/02/2008 13:32

Cosmo, do bear in mind that some women are super-fertile for up to 3 months after coming off the pill!!!

Cosmogirl · 22/02/2008 13:25

Thanks Diege - yeah I think it might be just my body adjusting to not having the pill in my system... Can't believe an egg would have popped out this soon after 8 years on the pill!
Happy 21st BB Have a great time

kayzisbroody · 22/02/2008 13:20

Happy Birthday BB!!!

Diege · 22/02/2008 13:16

Yes, Happy Birthday for the weekend , BB .
Cosmo, does seem a bit early for ovulation pains, but could just be the effects of hormone changes which do, if I remeber correctly, sometimes cause bloating and swelling as your body gets back to normal.

kayzisbroody · 22/02/2008 13:10

I'll probably do that providing the cot fits in our room

Cosmogirl · 22/02/2008 13:10

Hi all, haven't had time to catch up on the thread either - shall do after I have tackled my pile of ironing..
Just a quick one, stopped the pill this week, normally would have started new pack on Wednesday. Seem to be getting slightly crampy feeling where I would imagine my ovary to be (on my RHS).....Surely this can't be ovulation so soon? Definitely not imagining it, there is a dull - not painful - but noticeable crampy feeling, which has been happening on and off last two days. Does anyone have any clue what it might be?

Playingthewaitinggame · 22/02/2008 13:08

Hi BB, as I am not going to "see" you I will say:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Diege · 22/02/2008 13:07

Hmmm, I see Kay. I think I would try out the beds in front room first - after all if your ds doesn't settle in your room, he might be a tad grumpy the next day? (and you too!). I don't think I'll get 'tabitha' past dh actually - he is convinced it's a cat's name (think his cat was called Tabby, etc..). Sort of settled on Matilda, although worries of 'old lady' connotation...Tilly is sweet though, and we often shorten dd1 and dd2's (to Jasmine to Jaz, Liberty to Libby). Dd1 has got into habit of called dd2 (Scarlett) to 'Scar', which is not so nice...

Playingthewaitinggame · 22/02/2008 13:06

Difficult Kay. Personally I would go with baby in your room and give them the spare room if its big enough. When we have baby, babies room will also be spare room (third bedroom is our dressing room). Its a big room and we have one of those Ikea single day beds that pulls out to make a king size bed when needed. Going to keep it in babies room as it only takes up the space of a single bed so there will be plenty of room,

BeMyLilBaby · 22/02/2008 13:05

havent had a chance to read the posts, but thought id say hello ! mega busy at wrk today and off after today, so wont get to post until i get laptop tues....SO here's hoping my 21sts great

and ill catch up with you guys ASAP xx

kayzisbroody · 22/02/2008 13:01

There is nothing wrong with Tabitha or Felix for that matter but when together it sounds like a couple of cats.

We have 2 airbeds that we are going to use but its just if they'll fit in the lounge or if we should move ds's cot into our room for the night, so they can have his room

Playingthewaitinggame · 22/02/2008 13:00

My sister is Tilly, short for Natalie (Na-tilly). Really suits her.

Playingthewaitinggame · 22/02/2008 12:59

I have all the joys of "play barns" to come!

Hmm, eating healthy with guests, difficult.

Lets see:

Salmon Salad nicoise, Lovely fillet of salmon, nice big salad with yummy tuna, eggs, olives, capers etc. Looks good tastes good.

Poached chicken breast served with olive oil roasted (or chargrilled) Mediterranean vegetables of a bed of mushroom "healhty" (e.g no cheese) riosotto/bed of wild rice.

Thai marrinated tuna steak (no coconut milk, just simple flavors like olive oil, chilli, corrainder, ginger etc) served with stir fried vegetables and rice noddles.

Roast chicken with olive oil roasted (or chargrilled) Mediterranean vegetables and olive oil roasted potatos (and only have 1 yourself).

Nice veggie pasta sauce with wholegrain pasta

Or anything veggie but not too heavy on carbs.

Diege · 22/02/2008 12:59

Mmmmmm, sounds gorg

Diege · 22/02/2008 12:58

Just realised 'Tabitha' is on my 'girl' list , and on someone else's too?? Come on, own up... I've had, and not used. Mathilda now 3 times - really like full name and also 'Tilly', or 'Tilda'. The only name left on my list (I have used 3!!) is Saffron, which always gets a whenever mentioned .
Kay, re: christening dilemma, could you just get a sofa bed/put me up on the nlounge floor? (or offer them your bed and sleep downstairs youself if you're feeling magnaminous?) Or if they get arsey, they could try a B&B nearby?
