Come on babyneeko!!! Got her text earlier and have had ants in my pants since.

Have Everest size pile or ironing to do so can't stay long but just wanted to say Happy Birthday to mermaid and lovely to see you again.

monkey - you must be going crazy just now . Willing your CVS to have good outomse, praying for you xx

4ever - yay! to ante-natal and washing baby clothes and everything

Vjay - glad the weaning is going well and you're not too . Six months is bloody marvellous. Neeko - great tip re: formula during the night! When DS1 went on to a bottle it was hit or miss whether he needed a night time feed so I used to sterelise a bottle and put it in my vacum insolated bag and use the pre packed cartons which I snipped and poured in at required time and they were at room temp...

moon - sorry TEW has turned up but you can go full steam ahead (for this month anyway) with all things wedding .

MLS - big hand hold and circule round the room from us all for tomorrow xx

Sorry for lack of further personals and thanks for feeding advice. I'm thinking the milk is a bit of a red herring as have cut it out and B still fretting although has had a good day only one feed was fussy. I think he is just a colicky baby and will hopefully grow out of it... He's healthy and chunky and has rolls of fat so I must be doing something right!

Love to all especially our new girls lousey QA and ThePFJ xx

A-choring I must go!

4everhopeful · 29/03/2010 20:29

x post - hello LBM preg buddy! Me you and Cupcake are next in the list! Really feel we may make it a triple whammy you know!!!

Also x post Vjay - think I may peruse the old sites when I finish work, what along old road its ben for us eh?!

4everhopeful · 29/03/2010 20:26

Yay for Neeko!!! Was soooooooo excited to get her tx! Cant wait to hear all about our new graduates long awaited arrival!

Happy Birthday Mermaid - know I said so already & hope you are loving the spangly new grown up handbag! Great to see you back hon!

Big waves to Gracie the catch up queen! You've just given your in laws a grandaughter, you soo dont need to get ou of your PJs for them!

Monkey sorry to hear you are being put through the waiting game rollercoaster re the nuchal issue, do your research tho, as often these are just odds that arent by any means guarantees... Holding your hand for the CVS you poor thing..

Moon bah blummin humbug to AF arrival... I say book the venue ASAP and let us be your group wedding planners! The law of sod is bound to come into play! We saw DH BF who DH is meant to be best man too earlier today, last time we saw him they changed their date to day after baby due , now they have postponed indefinately (quite pleased really!) so remember these venues are used to all that!

MLS holding your hand too for tomorrows scan, what time is it? You've been quiet lately? Hope you arent weebling away on your own?

Cupcake know we text earlier but hadnt read your post then! Bless your DH for looking after you! How exciting to put up the cot! Ours arrives around April 15th when I finish work, along with matcghing wardrobe & furniture so need as baby clothes are hanging off every handle in baby room! How long til mat leave & real nesting can kick in? At least you have long easter weekend to do lots!

QA you got the sweepstake! As well as Mermaids birthday, its also my BIL!

Louey sorry you are suffering with such ah eadache, think its quite common after MC cos of the hormone crash..

Big waves also to Vjay and Iggy

Our ante natal class was great, albeit a bit scary & graphic, but also very very exciting, and makes it all seem really real we are having a baby! Has helped my weebles I think... Tomorrow getting a washing machine service ready for washing all babys new clothes & blankets, cos at weekend DH is getting bags out of loft ready to start packing! On weds after work (which Im only doing half days til I leave in 3wks!) Im gonna have some quality time with just me & mum, to go Debenhams & stock up on Clarins, and poss some (Ted) Baker Baby bits (my surname as most of you know!) I figure thats some more therapeutic stuff for me to do!

VJay · 29/03/2010 20:14

Guess what I've been doing, instead of studying, naughty Vjay. I though I would take a look at what we were doing this time last year, so I checked out our old thread. It's so nice to see that we've all stayed together. There have been some pretty rough times and some absolutly fab times. I ended up going back to when I got my BFP with Ajay, what a journey, and I mean for everyone not me. This is a great thread and long may it continue

littlebellsmum · 29/03/2010 19:59

Hurrah for BabyNeeko - both my labours started like that, a great early warning sign. And with both contractions started within a few hours, so it could still be today!! Does anyone have today in the sweepstake?

GracieGirl · 29/03/2010 19:55

Louey I'm really pleased to hear your antibiotics are working.

Moon Sorry to hear TEW has started. Eat some mini eggs to keep your strength up ready for next month to conceive your Christmas baby! You're right - where are the bunny smilies???

So HappyGirl, are you joining us?

Yay! I caught up! Isabelle needs feeding again - hopefully babck later to hear all about Neeko's baby. Then Cupcke is it you next???

GracieGirl · 29/03/2010 19:47

Still catching up?..

Iggy I?m pleased to hear your house buying is going well.

Cupcake well one for managing to keep up with us from work. Putting up the cot is so exciting!!!!

Oh monkey I?m sorry you keep getting bad news. Remember we are all here for you to rant at whenever you want. Like louey says ? 29 chances that everything is ok. Text me if you want me to update the thread with anything tomorrow. Huge hugs xxxx

neeko at last!!! At least you?ll get your darling baby pretty soon whether the contractions start or not. Good luck!

Mermaid good to see you! Happy birthday!!!

Almost caught up ? back in a sec!

BlueMoon1981 · 29/03/2010 19:22

oooh neeko how exciting, about time too!

happy birthday mermaid good to see you still lurking

mls another hand to hold for tomorrow, will be thinking of you

tew arrived this morning, but i knew she was on her way so not too downhearted, just v annoyed more than anything! thanks to everyone for your support over wedding planning, think i will throw myself into it and just deal with whatever happens

and sorry to keep banging on but come on MN we need bunny smilies pretty please

GracieGirl · 29/03/2010 18:41

I?m back. Isabelle still asleep?.. I'mhalf way down page 9.

MLS thinking of you for your scan tomorrow, I will do my best to lurk for news.

Neeko still here?!

Louey very brave of your friend to go skiing with a 19 week bump. Not like us bunch of nervous weebles!!

Curly well done for getting out and having your hair done. With our babies being born on the same day I feel I should be getting out too. It?s a bit hard with DH working so many hours, though I?ve been expressing like mad and have about 20 feeds in the freezer just in case!!! OK that?s it I?m off to plan an escape a trip out!

GracieGirl · 29/03/2010 18:26

Hello! In laws just gone, Isabelle asleep on my chest, trying to type one handed.

Welcome QA, I?m sorry you you?ve had such a rough time, but I?m pleased you?ve come to join us.

I?ve been really busy with constant breast feeding, Barbie Isabelle does that to m nipple too ? half way through feeding decides to turn round and look at something interesting and takes my nipple with her!! I was surprised how far it stretches!!

4ever I?m sorry you?re having such a weebly time, have a big hug and some mini eggs.

Moon I?m pleased to hear you and your DF are ok and not arguing over his male lack of ability to understand how you are feeling. Looking forward to helping plan your wedding.

Vjay you should be very proud of yourself for breastfeeding for so long, I hope your pain is easing off now.

Curly good to hear from you and curlygirl.

Hang on- just nipping back to continue catching up?????

loueytbg · 29/03/2010 17:50

link for monkey

loueytbg · 29/03/2010 17:46

Happy birthday Mermaid hope you are having a lovely day.

Monkey so sorry you are having to go through this. But please try and hold onto the fact that 1/30 means that there are 29 chances that it is a healthy baby. I know I read some threads about very positive outcomes recently with similar if not worse odds, I think it was in the PG section though not in the testing one. Will try and see if I can find the one I mean. Hope the CVS goes ok tomorrow. Will be thinking of you.

Vjay glad I made you laugh .

Cupcake very glad the move went well and you can still get on MN. Your DH sounds lovely. Don't worry about your pre-preg bras, if you can't get in them afterwards, then there is a perfect excuse to go and buy some more (there is always a silver lining you see). I started serious runnning after I had DTs with the result that my (.)(.) shrunk! DH was most pleased when I got PG again as they expanded again very rapidly.

Iggy very sensible to move beforehand if you can. Have never heard of hot milk? Is that a shop?

Waves at gracie

So on the plus side, my temperature has gone so the antibiotics are working and hopefully I won't have to go back to the hospital. However, I have the headache from hell which 3 different types of painkillers are not shifting. Phoned the Drs this morning who said it could be the antibiotics or the anaemia and if it was still bad tomorrow to call back. I suspect its the anaemia because I had it before I started the antibiotics, and if thats the case I need to get my iron up quick because its doing my head in (literatlly).

I have however eaten 1 bag of mini eggs today , mourned the fact that I can't find a chocolate orange easter egg for love nor money (any ideas???) and ordered some OPKs and HPTs over t'internet. Would you believe I gave mine away to my little sis the day before the scan as I wouldn't need them anymore

Off to interview a childminder later, my childcare nightmare is whole other story which I won't bore you with at the moment....

loueytbg · 29/03/2010 17:30

OOh OOh OOOh Neeko how exciting. We're all willing babyneeko out (but if you could hold on til 31st I'd be much obliged)

Neeko · 29/03/2010 17:22

Happy birthday Mermaid You've been missed. Catch up with you soon.

Neeko · 29/03/2010 17:21

Hi.Very excited! Have to go to hospital when DH gets home. No contractions yet so Baby Neeko might take a couple of days. MLS will be raging if she is only one day out!

VJay · 29/03/2010 17:20

Quick newsflash........

Neeko's waters have broken!

I'll be back later as I've not had time to read the thread yet.

GracieGirl · 29/03/2010 17:09

Still not caught up yet, Isabelle got hungry and kidnapped me.

I've found us a newcomer - Happygirl - she's newly pregnant after a miscarriage and needs a bit of moral support. She's looking for somewhere to get a private scan.

Father-in-law just texted to say they are on their way round! bugger - in my PJ's and house is a mess - better go, will catch up later!
