casserole welcome welcome we haz not "met"! Snuggle in at the deli and make yourself comfy with some choice Italian meats.

Gals - how do you know when you've put a stack load of weight on? When you can't find your phone but then discover 5mins later that you are sat on it but cant
feel a darn thing.

I am not birthing next week! 6.5 wks to go for me. Got loads to do. Had the carpets cleaned today, our poor attempts at mopping up cat sick needed profeshnal assistance. Like you boxer man doing the scrubbing asked if we were moving out and I said no baby due and he didn't have a clue either. Tho he may just have thought that I was of a cuddly physique.

cosworth not mentioning you know what. Hope crap Tuesday night tv is taking your mind off things.

Are you really 9 weeks already Cass? In my head you were like, 6. Time flies! I am now 14 weeks. So far the second trimester is much like the first. Drom and Ginalicious are, I think, the same.

Fanks for the welcome Brightsky Your phone thing made me laugh, and that is a high accolade today I promise.

Well, 8+something or other, 9 on Friday. Time is not flying right now! But I know what you mean.

I don't mind going on the not-list, am not superstitious. Casserole, living on hula hoops. Due 10th April I think.

Hope that Cos is busy securing her non-involvement in the list as we speak.

NOT list - my due date is 24th Feb, but I have no witty statements.

Cass Am so sorry to hear about the sickness, you poor love. Have this lovely cooling pack for your forehead and a nice lie-down.

I can be left as the biggest farter. It's still trooooooooooooo. Tis normal to still be afflicted by increased flatulence. I read it in a book. So must be gospel. I do not need to join the freak show circus. Yet.

I am fairly sure I will still need to be on the not-list. If I manage to sneeze the baby out in the next 17 posts - bonus! Although potentially a bit of a bummer for the school year. I think Clucky would like to be on the not-list too. She is due 2nd Feb, I think. She missed the not-list by minutes last time.

I have warm glowy feelings at them moment about imminent childbirth - both my car and the fabulous futuristic eco-warrior heating and hot water system we have in the house are in dire need of an engineer to give them a mechanical slap. My family have all departed to leave me alone for 5 days. My other childcare back-ups for DD are all on holiday this week(Clucky can do overnights, but would have to twag work to fill a day shift.) OH has gone on a brewery tour (yes, really! Hmm) It's all pointing towards maximum inconvenience.

Cos I fell your overdue-ness pain btw. Last time I wanted to flush the phone down the toilet every time it rang for nearly 2 weeks. Do these people not realised how fucking demoralising it is to be beached on your sofa not knowing if it is safe to pop out to Tesco without leaving a gush of amniotic fluid in your wake? The women I know best who have had babies have all gone very overdue, and I have been at pains to not remind them of this but to chat with them about whatever they want to (especially if that is about everything EXCEPT being induced!) and not to bug them on a daily basis like they are the only form of entertainment in my life. My dad is already calling me on a nearly daily basis to see if I've had the baby yet. Faaaaaark off! It's annoying! I'll let you know when I have. And I'm not even overdue yet, and everyone in our family always goes massively overdue. So all calling every day is doing is getting on my nerves, because frankly it would be a family first for me to have given birth already. And breathe!

So there we go. Feel free to tell them to piss right off, Cos.

Hi lovely PESHes! Have been trying to catch up before posting...but you are all too fast for me! Enjoyed Day 1 of ML, though the day went fast and though I am assuming I'll go 2 weeks over, I have a little nagging "what if I don't" pixie on my shoulder. Argh!

Had a lovely surprise baby shower on Sat, organised by my sister. Was just lovely. Felt v spoiled.

Welcome Casserole! Have some sweaty brie.

I miss gin. When will she return?

Am sure I have missed loads - Apols - will try to keep up!

CluckyKate · 31/08/2010 22:15

Yes, yes, add me to the not list - I will be hatching my next chick on 2nd Feb!

Hurray for 1st day of ML Vaggie....counting down the days til mine starts already - can't wait.

Welcome, welcome Casserole, make youself comfy.

Mr CK is also on the Brewery tour - after just 1/2 an hour he texted to say he was pissed (Mr Box OTOH is, amazingly, behaving himself Wink ). So, while he's been gone I has been spending lots of money on the JoJo Maman website and should finally have a half decent winter wardrobe by the weekend Grin

Medee I don't think I will ever get over Haribo cravings. I will be 102 years old and still happy to inhale a whole family-sized bag of Goldbears!

Clucky glad to hear MrBox has his head screwed on for once.

Vag, ML is really over-rated. Don't worry if you have a few days less of it. That saves you from the fate of the overdue. See my last post!

VAG Saw the photos of your shower on fb - you look fantastic - really happy and truly radiant.

The list is funny - the PESHies really do move in waves - seems to be clusters. Looks like September is going to be a busy month.

Welcome casserole - I've loved having you second timers around - you always know the answer to what's not normal.

switty I'm sure she'll be back when she's too big to work - she's a workaholic that one.

Does Gin want to be on the not-list? Gin? Gin? Are you lurking, my luvver?

And what about ChoCho and our potential new recruit, MrsFC? Aaargh, only 8 posts left. This is why I feel the pressure of lists...

Muse, I like your lovely humps comment but it will create an earworm forevs. Can I be Perfect Dromedary, defied medical science, due 24th February?

SkiHorseWonAWean · 01/09/2010 08:57
