That’s December 2007. I would have posted something dull about work, and being bullied under the guise of “managed out”. All worked out well, in a better place now. You?

That we had just had the 12 week scan for our desperately longed for IVF baby - our 4th IVF pregnancy but the first time we made it to 12 weeks.

Shes in Y10 now ❤️.

About trying to keep my head down over Christmas

3luckystars · 03/12/2022 23:21

I was pregnant too! He is 6ft tall now.

Aww just had my gender scan. Girl too also in year 10.

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 03/12/2022 23:24

There was a horrible thing going on at work; but I was spending every spare moment on a creative project I had going on at the time, so I doubt I would have been online at all!

SpotifySpecific · 03/12/2022 23:24

Probably that my 6 month old was sleeping after doing cc 🫣🫣😞and I loved my fiancé soo much.

walnutmarzipan · 03/12/2022 23:24

Probably something about how ill I felt - was pregnant with horrendous all day morning sickness made worse by all the M&S Christmas food ads.

Hoping we could get a mortgage on that perfect house we had just visited. A tiny newbuild in a village near both our parents.

we did, moved in that spring. Had a surprise arrival the following year. That surprise arrival is now a teen vegetating under a duvet. The mortgage is half paid off and I love this place more than ever.

Over the years we have looked at moving somewhere bigger, but never got round to it.. so glad. It’s cheap to run, low council tax band and very well insulated. Given the cost of living… phew.

Hellocatshome · 03/12/2022 23:25

I probably would have posted something about a teething baby and a useless husband.

JubileeTrifle · 03/12/2022 23:26

Dreading going to my in-laws for Christmas. They’ve both passed away now but honestly I am still left with the trauma of many horrible Christmas’s at theirs. I’ve seen people on here commenting about sucking it up and trying to make the best of it, have no idea about spending a miserable Christmas at someone’s house is like, especially year after year.
DH recently mentioned the ‘magical’ Christmas time we had his parents. I’m still aghast at it.

Thatweredeadtightoncheryl · 03/12/2022 23:26

We had literally just completed in our first house and planning our wedding for the following year. We have three gorgeous kids and are in our second house now 😀

clary · 03/12/2022 23:26

Kids were 8, 6 and 4, so probs something about how cute the littlest was in his first Nativity play (he was the Angel Gabriel); or how amazing DD was singing a solo in her Christmas concert (I cried).

seems a loooong time ago now!

ChessieDarling · 03/12/2022 23:27

I was 13, so something ‘witty’ and oh so very cool. While logging in and out of msn messenger trying to get Tom’s attention.
13 year old me would be appalled that Tom went on to marry one of my best friends. I mean, we never do much as spoke in person BUT STILL.

GoingtotheWinchester · 03/12/2022 23:29

@Violashift 😍

GoingtotheWinchester · 03/12/2022 23:29

@ChessieDarling bloody hell you’ve made me feel soooooo old 😂

Prizelighter · 03/12/2022 23:30

I was mid 20s and my boyfriend and I broke up this weekend. I had built my world around his as I met him when I moved to a new city and didn't know anyone.
So I wasn't totally heartbroken about him as I knew we weren't right for each other but I was utterly lost, in a job I hated, scared and lonely.
I'd also had an abortion 2 months earlier as there was no way I was bringing a child into all that.

Rebuilding my life since it all is one of the things I am most proud of.

MargaretThursday · 03/12/2022 23:31

Probably that 5 month old ds was in his 8th war infection since September.
Or it might have been the first time where we spent the day in A&E so ds could have bloods done as he had a non fading rash (viral) as that was early December.

Both of these were repeated regularly for the next few years.

spiderlight · 03/12/2022 23:31

I had a 9-month-old who was very nearly crawling and spent all his time rolling around the house like a tiny cross cannonball, so I'd have been moaning about how tired I was and how much easier it was when I could put him down on the floor for a second and he'd still be there when I got back. He's 6ft tall now and still keeping me awake at nights!

ethelredonagoodday · 03/12/2022 23:31

By the wonders of Facebook memories I can see that I had been at a uni friends' wedding. This was during the wedding phase where every year we had multiple weddings to go to. All still in our 20s and none of us had kids then. Now we have all married, all got children, some of us divorced or separated.
Have moved house 4 times since then and had 3 jobs changed.

So much changes in a relatively short amount of time!

MargaretThursday · 03/12/2022 23:31

Ear infection... Not war

HumphreysCorner · 03/12/2022 23:32

My rainbow 🌈 baby was 6 months old.

AgathaMystery · 03/12/2022 23:33

@Prizelighter well done for rebuilding your life.

I was working as a community midwife and worked with a lovely team. Diary says I was on call for homebirths every weekend that December and we were busy! I’ve never worked with such lovely women since. We were a great team.

ZittiEBuoni · 03/12/2022 23:34

Probably wondering if 4 year old dd1 would ever sleep through the night.

She still doesn't. (then-undiagnosed autism)

CherrySmiler · 03/12/2022 23:35

Still reeling from shock of 20 wk scan 8 days earlier where my DH and I were told our baby girl was on the very small side (IUGR) and wondering what lay ahead. Hard to believe it was 15 hrs ago. Feels like last week.

TheTempest · 03/12/2022 23:35

Hmm I was twenty and head over heels over an absolutely terrible bloke. It would have been something about my step kids, and how to set boundaries and parent of their dad wouldn’t. I got out two years later when I was pregnant, still have the step kids in my life, a beautiful 13 year old and a man who actually cares! Life has definitely changed for the better. Lovely to read about everyone’s positive changes ❤️
