Hi all,
Havent been on since Tuesday and have had to spend hours catching up on all the posts! cant believe how busy this thread is!!. Havent been on as we had 6 visitors over from the UK for 4 days. I feel awful but I am so glad they are gone - lovely people but hard work, kids very naughty and rude and demanding challenging and all (including adults) very picky eaters, i.e. I would cook dinner (for 10) be told "I dont like this" and would have to cook something else. On average, I was making 4 different meals and each sitting. knackered.
Lobsterlass, I am so so sorry. I wish there was something I could do or say but I know there isnt anything. I wish you all the best and hope life is kinder to you in the future.
Nursesunshine am sorry to hear about your arguement. Leaving at 1.30 sounds pretty bad - are you ok??
I'd love to reply to everyone individually but unfortunately theres no way I can remember whos post is whos.
In realtion to the names conversation (and thank you so much for posting stats) we have ours definately picked!! I honestly couldnt care less about popularity (as some of you have asked), if I like it, I like it. (and our boys name is ridiculously popular).
We're calling the bump "Little Roo".
Speaking of, the news is officially out - everyone knows I'm pregnant which Im really pee'd off about as Im so terrified we really did not want to tell anyone until after 12 weeks. Anyway, theres nothing I can do - I have a very obvious, huge baby bump. I am very clearly pregnant. People are just coming up now and saying "ooh congratulations! I didnt realise you were expecting again", I had about 16 people congratulate me this week alone, I asked a few how they knew and they said it was extremely obvious and were quite embarrased when they realised I wasnt happy with news out and was earlier than they realised.
So, most importantly I had my early reassurance scan, I booked privately as I still havent heard a peep from hospital, despite visiting 4 weeks ago. All well, thankfully. Heard a heartbeat and Dr. said it was unusual to hear so, so clearly at this stage. little bean moving about. According to my dates was 8+6 on day of scan but Dr. said that measurements were more so put me at 9+3. (so am 10 weeks today!! 
) am obviously delighted but am confused about this - you have to "go" with dating scan dates, dont you? its just my periods are like clockwork, am positive of LMP and I know the date of conception so am a little confused why we go by this date - I just dont want to be completely fed up when, I go way overdue when Im not really, if that makes sense. Anyone have any thoughts?
Anyway, this means Im now due on 28th May instead of June 1st. Is it ok if I stick about here though? its was too late to get to know the May crowd, Im still convinced this will be a June baby (as Im always overdue) and, to be honest, you lot have grown on me. I dont want to annoy those due later in June though, as my being so further along might add to the torture of waiting..
Issystark are you law Lecturer?
