with our heads held high and our bumps pushed out we can happily say sod 'em to all those grumps who think crimbo is a bad time for new babies!!
whaddya say??
yay to our xmas bubs!!

Morning everyone.

LOL @ you all comparing knicker putting on positions!! Knickers I can still just about do, socks is a different matter though

So glad to be back from Leeds. Last time I'm doing a journey like that, I was soooooo tired by the time I got there. Crashed straight into bed, didn't even bother with room service

I'm another for the insommniac club. Evry other night I lie there for hours just waiting for sleep with nothing happening. Never sure whether to get up or just stay in bed.

Ei, so pleased you have sorted out your DP & his nan.

Whoops, just realised I've typed this and completely forgotten to hit post - duh, pregnancy brain strikes again!!

Quick question; Eating peanut butter in pregnancy - good or bad?

morning everyone
george, nope I definately have to hold on to side of something when balancing to put one leg thro knickers!! socks are a nightmare......

really bad spd pains last night, so much pain to roll over in bed and have to take about fifty attempts to do so it wakes me EVERY time and I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo cranky on not enough sleep i think I am falling apart. seems i will not be able to MOVE in nov/dec. and so much to do. eek!
still excited about my 4d scan tho, that makes me smile, thinking about that....
hows the secret stork posting going/ has just about everyone done it/about to do it?

oh god not the peanut butter question........(theres a very split camp on this george). if you have any history of allergies, sucha s food allergies, in your families dont eat much of the stuff. thye are abit OTT about it over here in uk IMO, in USA they are encouraged to eat the stuff (it is full of good stuff you know!) and personally if the mood takes me I eat it. (the mood hasnt taken me much tho this pg since eating it when I had m/s and now ti reminds me of that!!) so I would say, as long you werent actually going to bathe in the stuff and eat twenty gallons, go ahead.......

quick post then I'll be back .....

George, I agree with DQ - unless you have a family history of peanut allergies it's considered to be OK.

I've eaten it lots (probably about 3 times a week) and I'm fine.

Ei, sorry to hear your in pain with your wrists. It's probably the last thing you need at the mo!

DQ - have you made up with your dh yet? Hope everything is OK.

I'm waiting for my stork's things to arrive - it might take a couple of weeks but it'll be worth it

Ninah doesn't seem to be about this morning but I know she's got her prezzie sorted and was planning to post it over the next couple of days.

Thanks guys.
Played it safe & went for marmite instead as the guy going to the shop wanted to go.

Was still nice

no, haven't managed to buy stork present yet - shall try and do it this weekend.

What are everyones plans for the weekend?

ebiie - pmsl at your knickers comments!! Do you think we all know each other a bit too well now

AND LADY!!! Whats all this about carrying tumble dryers!! Take it easy woman, if you make pregnancy look easy then your dh will expect you to be superwoman all the time

I've got indigestion - AGAIN!! Just wondering if a cuppa and some buscuits will help it?

We're gardening this weekend, I want to try and get it finished before the weather turns bad. It's looking good so far, I'm really chuffed

lol...Stay away from the biscuits....if youy ar anything like me then one just isnt enough with a cuppa...
What is your garden like?Iwish iliked and had more time for gardening,as when i do do it i feel well pleasedwith the results...Changed my bedroom aroundready for oom for the moses basket...Oh camnt wait,things finally coming along..[ust wish i wasnt aching so much today..]

Also just wanted to say that i wish i could meet you allat the meet up as feel i know a little about all of you,and i think you are ALL so GREAT....
If only i had this bond when i was expecting my dd...

well, up until last weekend our garden was like a battle zone. Now we have a nice new patio and pathway and the mounds of earth are being cleared of debris and levelled so we can plant some grass seeds.

I've had nothing but a big mud pit since we dug it all up about 6 months ago so I'm so pleased to finally see it coming together.

No wonder you are achey - carrying a tumble dryer!!! I'm still shocked by that.

Where abouts are you ebbie, could you join us for the meet up?

Ebbie, you carried a tumble dryer????
Bad, bad, girl.

too far for me im affraid,im near luton,but dh wont take day of and a train will be a nightmare with a nearly 3 yr old,u never know though...
Sometimes i honestly forgt i am pregnant[pic me trying to squeeze past 2 parked cars,only to have to walk bk round them..lol]
Ur garden soundslovely...hey george how are you?

helloo, I AM here! what a day. System misbehaving and then I posted on here but it is not coming up. It said 'I eat a lot of peanut butter' or words to that effect, so no loss to the world of letters! EBBIE PUT IT DOWN NOW!

Ebbie aww please come along if we can make the trip from liverpool...lol

Hi ladies, just popping in to say hi before my next appt of the day!
Ohhhhh, my neck and muscles ache today after my stretching yesterday, feels a good type of ache though, feel like I've woken some long sleeping muscles up. I went to the active birth class last n ight, loved it, really nice time to bond with mole and chill, stretch, relax, and have a giggle too.
Right off to my next appt, will check in after midwife has been and gone later today.

Just had a bit of bad news - my dad is being made redundant before xmas.

Him and mum have been struggling as it is since she retired. Dad is 60, not in brilliant health and has no qualifications. Who's gonna give him a job

My mum is also loosing money from our cleaning and childcare whilst I'm on mat leave - I feel really guilty!!

hey ladies!!
i havent managed to get dressed yet so ill keep you all posted on my style of knicker application!!lol!!
im so sorry to hear about your dad s/h, thats such a kick in the nuts around christmas aswell!!
george, im a devout peanut butter fan so i say a big YES to eating it whilst prg!!
whats everyone up to today?

not dressed ei ?!x!
sh - nuts! I am emailing

Will he get any sort of payout sh, to make it a bit easier initially? We had redudancies here a few weeks ago, they are never nice, always a shock.
Well I've been a bit spoilt today - was taken out for lunch by one of the guys here, and then my team bought me a b'day cake from Thorntons and their b'day present to me were vouchers for a 1hr aromatheraphy facial, 1hr manicure and 1hr pedicure and they even bought them from a place near my home, which is no where near where I work.
Makes me feel slightly bad for being a hormonal cow lately
Ebbie, is the tumble dryer a normal size? How on earth.....

Is it your birthday Scully? Well, I'm presuming it is if everyone if buying you birthday things
Many Happy Returns to you.

Ei, are you dressed yet? I'm waiting to get home so I can put my PJs back on!

SH, sorry to hear about your Dad, I hope he manages to find something else soon.

Only half an hour to go for me & I'm counting every minute. (Plus only 3 weeks today at work to go - woo hoo!!)
