Bonkers Anonymous… the most successful TTC thread in the world... so good even the Graduates want to stay!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhh!!!! Woooo Hooooo!!!! Well done Bellie! I knew you were pregnant. I dreamt it last night! I have rushed home from work to get the news!!!!! I am sooooooo happy for you, you really do deserve it! YEY!!!!

Hi

MJIM - your bump is huge! I think I was bigger second time around. Presumably your stomach muscles have already stretched once so just 'give in' second time around!! Your DS sounds like a budding genius - and what concentration skills to do a 60 piece jigsaw.

Can I ask everyone's opinion on this please:-

When I collected DS1 from nursery school today one of the little girls ran accross to me and said "look at William's mark on the carpet!" to which I said "pardon?" and she said " quick come and look, William has a mark on the carpet!". I walked over to the point she was showing me (which is where they do circle time) and I noticed a 'X' and the name WILLIAM chalked on the carpet. So I asked the little girl what it was for and she said "its to stop him getting up and playing with the toys at circle time". Am I being over sensitive or is that really bad ? One of the private nursery teachers (who take over at 11:30) just looked at me and said in an embaressed manner "oh it must be from the morning" - ie not them the school. Now I am not blind to the fact that he can be a bit of a bugger and probably is not impressed by circle time but isn't this singling him out a bit? He's only 4 FGS! I am now thinking all of the kids have probably gone home and said "mummy william has a mark on the carpet to sit on blah blah blah" as they obviously made a thing of it at the time. Sorry to go on but I am rather pissed off. What do the teachers think? Is this acceptable?

Great pics MJIM!! You look great, I just look HUGE! And your ds is just adorable, could munch him!

Good luck for testing HC & CE!! Everything crossed.

Not heard from the OB secretary or about the fax yet, but I did miss a call while was at the GP's with ds2. Will ring up BRUM to see if they have recieved it. As for ds2, he did GREAT! He didn't cry and then proceeded to yell at the nurse: "OUCH! That HURT!!" That's my boy, he makes me laugh!. I was given a prescription for paracetomol. Gave some to ds2 just over an hour ago as he was getting a little grumpy and said his arm hurt. About 30 minutes after that, I was clearing up and noticed the box the bottle came in said "over 6". Poor lad isn't even 4 yeat . I feel terrible that I might have given him a double dose thinking it was the younger stuff and overdosed him. Thankfully I only gave him 5ml, but it is the equivilant of giving 10ml of normal 2month+ calpol . What on earth could have happened if the same thing happened and it was the baby and not ds2??. I rang the GP's who said he won't come to any harm, but not to give him anymore of the double strength stuff and to pick up a new script for the younger child version. Seriously, I just attract the worst of the NHS it seems. . I almost never have to give pain meds to ds2, I honestly can't remember the last time I had to. Thankfully he is fine, even if he seems a little drunk, like he keeps repeating himself, lol! I think I will take him out in his pushchair in a bit and see if he will sleep it off.

Hi all,

gp was wonderful, filled in the form for the early scan and gave to me to take to the hopsital rather than wait for the post so I have a 6 week scan booked for 6th June at 3.20pm. Can't believe it yet though and am in a state of grinning wildly and then having huge scary thoughts and imagining every tweak is a nasty one! still a week on holiday will pass the time nicely I suppose . There are no tablets for sea sickness, but am going to try the wrist ban thingies.

Willmouse - sounds like the new washer is fab and your holiday looks wonderful - can't believe that you are soooo organised!
I know what you mean about friends that just turn up - I like notice too. You are either going to have to get used to it if you are going to be working with her, or you will have to set some ground rule up before it gets too much!

HM2J - hope ds is ok after his boosters? Have you heard whether the fax has gone off yet?

HC - don't test too early [stern mjim emoticon] but if it helps you go for it

sorry not answered everyone - head a bit all over the place at the moment. Will check back in later!

So much EXCITEMENT on this thread!!

Holiday is finally booked for next year! Yipee (as it is just within budget )

We are going here:-

www.thomson.co.uk/destinations/europe/spain/majorca/sa-coma/apartments/protur-safari-apartments.html

I am more excited about it than this years' holiday which is less than 7 weeks away

Thanks guys - I still can't beleive it!!

17 months and then a BFP. now I am completely panicking as had ectopic last time and had to have tube removed. Have an apointment with gp at 11 to hopefully get early scan booked.

CE - you must be testing next and HC arn't you?

due date - 29 January 2009!!

oh opps! Meant to say I was stressing slightly this morning as have to take ds2 for hsi pre-school boosters . I hate seeing anyone inflict pain on my kids, even if it is for "the greater good". I am a bad mama too, we have no calpol or childrens nuerofen in the house, ds1 took the last drop for pain in his legs the other day.

Oh wow Bellie, congratulations!! I am so happy for you!

Ceebee, sending hugs. Penalties is an awful way to decide who wins.

I think CE & HC are next to test. Fingers crossed for them both!

Congratulations Bellie!!!!!!!!!!

This really is a sucessful thread!!

Sorry about the result Ceebee - I think penalties are so unfair - it just comes down to luck at the end of the day . I hate it when Man U fans get all smug - they will all be off out now to buy their doggy t-shirts and other tacky merchandise!

Oh well CD13 here for me. Still not trying nor using contraception iwswim. What will be will be.....

Right, who's testing next?????

Bellie - CONGRATS!! That is so exciting! You really deserve it

Now - have you worked out your due date and started thinking about names yet?

xxx

Bellie - woohoo!! That news has cheered me up no end this morning (and believe me I need a lot of cheering up today!) Fantastic!!!

As for me - today! CE - you are right, they did us very proud and I bloody hate penalties!!! I was feeling fine until it went to penalties and then I got really really nervous and stressed and DH shouted at me in case I did some damage to 'bump' or something - he kept telling me 'it's only a football game'!

Anyway, today is another day - just have to face some Man Utd fans at work today - grrrrrr!

Huge congratulations again Bellie - I really am so v v pleased for you

sorry about the footie ceebee .

But just like to say

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

(very scared too!)

sorry about the footie ceebee! for you and DH xx (It sounds like they did you proud though - I only watched 1st half)

Ceebee, so sorry about the footie Glad you enjoyed your takeaway though

HC - are you sure about the Apprentice as Sky still has it at 9pm

HM2J - it is definitely the strong flavours that are appealing to me - and I have to say, the takeaway was DELICIOUS! I think we will definitely be going there again

Anyway, so far so good with the footy

Ceebee - I am not a fan of Manchester United either on the basis that none of their fans are from Manchester I can never work that out. Plus I hate the fact that you can buy things like Manchester United dog t-shirts from Argos - WHY???

Right, mission is still to book next years' holiday - I am so bored of looking at brochures and yet desperate for two free child places.....which aparently have nearly ran out
