Hi to barbie too!

YAY to 4ever and her bean!

Hi neeko cupcake and anniecam. Hope you're having a good Monday.

anniecam wow, 3 weeks to go, time does fly! for being on maternity leave!

kudo's for 4ever

Exactly Cupcake Yay!

I knew I'd prob cross-post with someone-but YAY!

Hooray! 4ever's little soldier is fine.. am so relieved..I'm always sat here biting my nails on a Monday afternoon for her. So soooo pleased.
Hospital put her at 12 weeks next week, eep!

Just heard from 4ever "Little soldier is still strong with long old legs & getting nice and big" Phew - she had us worried for a bit there!

Hello ladies, im still around, will have plenty of time for posting as on maternity leave now, yeyy!

Babba is due 3 weeks tomorrow, where has the time gone?? Im virtually organised, just a few last minute bits to do, then i must get Crimbo presents in and wrapped.

I,ll be back later for a mammoth post, ive just got a few bits to do first.
Hope 4ever is okay, was hoping to have seen message from her by now....

Afternoon all, hope your weekends went with a bang - especially those of us ttc !

4ever thinking of you right now looking at the monitor with tears of joy in your eyes.

Cupcake Christmas is always extra nice when you have a little wiggly bean & a burgeoning bump too. I'm joining the bandwagon at sex 5 weeks after birth, no no no!

Barbie glad your results were normal. The rest of your pregnancy is bound to fly by as you are so busy.

Sabs I was lacking in the milk department too, it's frustrating but oh so common.

Neeko Hope you are managing to find time to put your feet up. Tell dh not to work so many silly hours!

Blue hope your shopping is going well & it's not too frantic with people pushing, shoving & jostling your bump. I think mine is going to be done online.

Waves to Iggy, Mermaid, Buddha, Annie, LBM, Curly, MrsKate, Gracie, Moon, Baking & last but not least a special birthday wave to Jools!

Gotta dash as have a couple of things to buy before hols on Wednesday.

Morning my lovelies..
Ha, I love all your shocked reactions at my friends.. they are the types who have always been very obsessed vocal about their sex life so it didn't surprise me!

Neeko good to see you grabbing a spare minute, hope you're ok- life sounds a little manic for you at the mo! Dh thinks I am showing a bit but I've told him that's just a food baby!

Hi iggy it's not over til it's over...but glad you are in the mentality of it being next year anyway, you can just enjoy a fuss-free Christmas. (And gear up for another exciting February )

Happy birthday Jools! Wishing you lots of loveliness.

4ever massive prayers going up to the Big Man upstairs for you- I've had stern words with Him in fact the last few weeks about you

Barbie great news about moving to a bigger place. We need to aswell as we're in a one-bed flat! Decided we'll do all that after Christmas though now we at least know where we'll be after Christmas

I'm actually starting to look forward to Christmas now- couldn't think about it before with too much else going on but tiny mini 'eep' about watching Love Actually & wrapping pressies with pretty ribbon & family & Mum's mince pies

Hope you're all surviving Monday morning!

Happy Birthday Jools

Hope you all ok. Not got much to tell you - am def not PG this month tho - am sure of it. And anyway - am not trying to be, am having a break until new year.

xx

happy Birthday jools

Know its a hard date as well for other reasons so thinking of you lots.x

4ever Have a picture in my head of your dh wheeling you in to have your scan curled up on your sofa in a nice soft ball of cotton wall. Hope you are ok, had a nice weekend and you are as ok as possible today. When does your lovely scan lady come back from her holidays?

blue I felt very emotional to think of you on baby blue leave So lovely to hear after last year, its a great tonic for all. Have a fab time sniffing expensive sniffs.

neeko poor tired you, the elusive blooming bit must be looming soon for you. Hope dd is feeling more settled too.x

barbie I get everything in columns but usually not the right ones and always take my accountant a very large bottle of something nice to help ease the pain
Looking at your mapped out weeks made me realise that you don't have that long to go very glad the test came back ok btw.

sabs can't you have a word with consultant so he says no to you doing vacuming for a bit? Lovely to hear you are all settling into life with little sarra though, she is scrummyx

whoops i never did get back to finish posting rl is suddenly starting to get a little busier here. Found out that we can def move to a bigger villa but it will be two weeks before the baby arrives We have nearly every weekend booked up until christmas with lovely things to do and then dh family arrive on the 22nd of dec and leave for home on the 9th jan...my 30th on the 11th and then dh goes on a week long sailing trip...and then move day! So in our spare time we are researching cots, villa's, outdoor lighting (for next weeks bbq) and breast pumps

Thankfully my test results came back all normal, but then i had a major wobble because i thought maybe i was diabetic but the results didnt show because i didnt actually keep most of it down! im fine now though and its another tick of the long pregnany list of things to get through!

sabs im loving your fb photos, thats one impressive clothes collection that little saara has! doh at your dh...men just an be told can they, serves him right i say!

lbm i cant believe your scan will be here this week {shock] By now you will have no free hands left but im getting the jcb digger ready to dig your head back out of the sand!

buddha poor poor you (and curly) They never tell you all the bad things in the pregnancy books do they, like how much the glucose test will make your projectile vomit and how your hips will hurt like made and you will walk like a penguin!...Hope you feel better soon

Im so at buddha blue and annie all on mat leave or due v soon....i cant wait, still slowly carving another scratch into the wall in the prison spa, marking off the days to go

jools happy birthday!!!!!! i hope your 40's brings you lots of luck, happiness and smiles.

4ever good luck for any test/ scans etc this week. I do hope the back pain eases up for you, i had it until about week 14...and now i have it on my right side.

mermaid clever you for doing tax returns...when i was self employed i used to hate doing them...lucky for me they never did check mine fully or else im sure i would of owed them a bit more money then i bothered to pay!

Damn it out of time again, gotta run.....much love to you all xxx

Hi all.
Really sorry I've been AWOL. RL has taken over due to DH working such long hours and hitting a tiedness wall. Have been thinking of you all though.

FIrstly, Hoping if you're still lurking have a big hug from me. There's no easy decision in your situation but as the girls have said there will always be a place here for you. Take care xx

Cupcake I was too at your friends. I thought I did really well with 3 months after the birth of DD and even that was only with lots of wine! Hope you are starting to "feel" pregnant now. Any sign of a little bump yet? Oh and fab news on your DH.

4ever so sorry to hear you're feeling so bad. Hope it eases up soon and you mention it tomorrow. Good luck for then. I'll be thinking of you as usual.

LBM Wow! Scan on Wednesday. When you see that bean waving at you, you might have to admit it's truly happening! Here's my hand.

Buddha sorry to hear you're struggling too. Good luck with your scan on Thurs. My 20 week scan is on Thurs too so we're scan buddies

MLS I'm so of your Italy trip. Have loads of pizza and pasta for me. Yum!
It'll do you, DH and DD the world of good to get away.

Mermaid Tax returns? I'm impressed. Too mathematical for me! That was so nice of you for Jools birthday too.

Jools Happy birthday for tomorrow. Hope you have a fab day. My aunt is 50 tomorrow so a special birthday day. (She had her DD, my god-daughter at 43 BTW)

Barbie hope your glucose results came back ok. You're really having to fight your way through this pregnancy BTW it's freezing here! Brrrrrrr!!!!!

Blue so pleased Babyblue is behaving and so that you've finished work. Happy shopping tomorrow. We were at Silverburn today, but it was rubbish and all I bought was 4 pairs of maternity tights that probably won't fit.

Moon Glad to see you popped your head round the door. Hope you're doing ok.

Glad to hear that you're living n domesti bliss Sabs. Hope you get the all clear for hoovering this week

Big waves to Curly Iggy MrsKate TheelusiveGracie and others that I've missed. I'm exhausted now so off to bed. Monday again tomorrwo - urgh!

Night all xxx

can't stop but sex when you have a 5 week old ( I did write with a 5 week old and had to delete as it looked too weird!)? Really? That is one brave lady and to have done it more than once so they noticed the milk - even more amazing!
Don't worry, Sabs - I never had milk spurting out either but as long as she's happy, everything is fine!

Sorry to hear about people in pain and that horrible test,barbie

good luck tomorrow, 4ever - I'm sure he's waiting to wave at you again.

Hello to everyone else - neeko come back, we miss you!

Hey ladies, room for one more in the spanking new shiny home?? Hope your all having a good sunday. Thought I'd catch up quickly while Saara's sleeping

cupcake can I also say congrats on your DH's job. I know how stressful it must have been . And what good timing! I wish I had some milk spurting out of me I have none As for the sex with a 5 week old, is that rare?! Lol

lbm heres a another hand to hold for wednesday. I'll be lurking to find out the news.

4ever and buddha sorry to hear you are in so much pain buddha Good luck for scan on Thursday. I have a 6 week check-up with the consultant at the hospital for a checkup following my c-section. Hopefully all will be ok so I can start driving again and doing normal things like vacuuming and picking up laundry!

barbie did you get the results of the glucose test today?

mls good to have you back on here. Hope you're well

blue how does it feel to be on maternity leave? How long have you taken off?

hoping Good luck for the future honey. Hope to maybe see you again on here in the future.

Jools happy birthday for tomorrow!

sabs waves to mermaid vjay mrskate neeko iggy curly anniecam gg mm. Hope I havent missed anyone out or missed any major news.

Well the wedding went well last week. Everyone went mad over Saara. She wore a lovely red dress, but I then realised that you couldnt see it in the photos (some up on FB) as she was covered in blankets the whole time!

DH fixed the cot, and then realised it wouldnt fit through one of the doorways leading to the bedroom, so he had to dismantle it and redo it all over again. The thing is I did tell him beforehand but he chose to ignore me. Men! However he has been great at waking up in the night and helping out as much as he can with Saara - apart from nappies which scare him! One thing at a time.

Mum and mil have been sending food and mum came over a little while ago to help with Saara, bless her. I'm planning to start cooking again this week too.

Phew this turned out to be a long post!

5 week old baby and having sex don't make me laugh!!!!!! 'don't you ever, ever come near me again'is more like it
Don't worry cupcake they only do that a little until your milk has settled in and sometimes doesn't happen at all and if it does you can just practice your aim.
sorry been sitting looking at numbers and columns too long.

Did they ask if you wanted to watch their birthing video too

Think we should have organised jools a survival suit and a thermos of chicken soup instead its bloody horrible weather here.

Oh and forgot to say Buddha you poor poor thing with those horrible pains! Feel free to moan all you like that sounds horrible
