A new thread for all us friendly Dec ladies

We sit and we type,
And we stare at our screens;
We all have to wonder
What this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam,
Through the rooms in a maze;
Looking for something or someone,
As we sit in a daze.
We chat with each other;
We type all our woes;
Small groups we do form,
And gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody
To type out our name;
We want recognition,
But it is always the same.
We give kisses and hugs,
And sometimes flirt;
In PMs (IMs) we chat deeply,
And reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships -
Yet why, we don't know;
But some of these friendships
Will flourish and grow.
Why is it on screen,
We can be so bold?
Telling our secrets
That have never been told.
Why is it we share
The thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see,
As though we were blind?
The answer is simple;
It's as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems
And need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people,
But tell someone we must;
So we turn to the computer,
And to those we can trust.
Even though it is crazy,
The truth still remains:
There are Friends Without Faces,
With odd little names.

Oh god - castor oil!!!! How the hell does that work - do you vomit the baby up instead of pushing it out!

Sounds like I'm not going to be alone on the thread in January then. Was fearing everyone else would have early babies & I'll be here talking to myself!!

Working from home again today as I had rough sleep from 2.00am onwards last night. Feeling very bleary eyed today.
Scully, go home, it's not worth it!!

scully · 12/10/2005 10:43

It was one of those mornings where I wasn't sure if I would improve as the morning went on - I'm not a morning person at the best of times, least of all when I'm tired.......
If this feeling of wanting to throw up continues think I'll leave early......

george32 · 12/10/2005 11:01

If in doubt, I always stay home Scully

Thanks for your guess on expectnet SH, I've guessed at yours too.
Looks like a boy for me!!!

sweetheart · 12/10/2005 11:07

yes, I finally got round to doing yours and DQ's. I set one up for myself too - although not impressed by some of the guesses so far!! Especially the weight's

PMSL SH . Just had a thought.....haven't you already found out you are having a boy???
Whoops!!
Can you change my answer to boy rather than girl?

george32 · 12/10/2005 11:10

Have you seen the guess on mine from one of the guys I work with!!!
15lb 15 - argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just becuase I eat continuously all day

Nemo666 · 12/10/2005 11:11

Adam is being whiney today because he is still ill so just dosed him up with medised...and paracetamol for myself..

SH whats ur file called on expectnet?

sweetheart · 12/10/2005 11:12

lol george!!!

it's 85% that I'm having a boy - although I hope to change that to 100% come this time tomorrow.

God, I'm starting to panic about my scan now too - doesn't seem to matter that it's kicking around in there. The thought of going into one of those rooms still fills me with fear!

OP posts:
Nemo666 · 12/10/2005 11:25

george32 · 12/10/2005 11:29

If anyone else wants to have a guess at mine it is "wigglybaby".

Off to find Nemos now.......

babygibbon · 12/10/2005 11:53

Just popping on with a quick question, before I start my long catch up (haven't been able to log on for a week...hope you and bumps are all well.

Is anyone going to the Babyshow in London? I was thinking of getting a scan done there but can't find any details to book one - does anyone have a contact number or know which company is doing them?

sweetheart · 12/10/2005 11:59

DQ might - she is having a 4d scan done there on Friday.

I'm sure it won't be long until she's around

ninah · 12/10/2005 12:16

jess still no news????!!!!!

george32 · 12/10/2005 12:16

J&BM you make me laugh!! Just done it

What time is your scan tomorrow SH?
I know what you mean about the scan rooms, I think they will always hold a certain fear. Everything will be fine tomorrow for you though

How are you holding up Scully?

jessicaandbumpsmummy · 12/10/2005 12:17

nope no news, and im refusing to obsess!

sweetheart · 12/10/2005 12:18

my scans at 11.45am tomorrow. I'd love to take dd along but I just can't - I feel like I'd be tempting fate in some way. I just couldn't bear to get bad news with her there.

I'm still debating going to the baby show so maybe I'll see if that scan company have any spaces left so dd can see her baby.

Scully - have you gone home yet lady!!!

Just wanted to say 'good luck' to SH for tomorrow, I'm sure your scan will be fine - those 4d ones are amazing!!

DQ - Is yours Friday?
