for all us chatty girls due in dec '05!!

[ei23monster]

were all safely in the third trimester now and all startin or due to start our mat leave!!
scarey thought for you all its only 67 days til xmas so not long to go before our babies are all hear and makin themselves at home!!! yikes!!

DQ, love the pictures.
I really am going to regret it if I don't take any pictures of my bump aren't I. Might have to ask DP to take some.

Oooh, meant to say, I measured yesterday & I was 9 squares!!! Admittedly the baby was dangling from my ribs at the time rather than its normal spot, of lurking on my bladder, but it's definitely getting bigger!

lol George @ dangling from your ribs!!

Did you see the new link for the yahoo group? Feel free to re join that group!

I've joined & added my pictures (I think! )
Must be getting late as I can't seem to do anything easily!

Oops time for Lost...........

well done George, and yeah it is getting a bit late, but my body is saying no sleep yet! Never got into lost, i must be the only person in the UK not to have done!

bored, seesm like everyone may have gone to bed? Am tired but my body isnt, have itchy twitchy leg syndrome, had some Horlicks but doesnt seem to have made me sleepy, so then had bath....now wathcing never mind the buzzcocks on uk gold...anyone know off a morrisk8 ? just out of curiosity?

jay...what? do i have to do the photos all over again somewhere else? oh no, now i'm confused.............
and no, no sleep for me either. actually went to bed and fidgeted soooooooo much i gave up and got up.

im wide awake..ds only finally stopped jumping arund his room at 10pm..at least he stays in there but i cant force him to go to sleep...dh went to bed at 11.

bugger, can't access photobucket or yahoo at work (restricted sites.....) so will try and remember to have a look at home.
sh, I also like those arty photos you talked about, but so don't have the money to spend on them, so I asked my friend if she could arrange some studio time and take some for me. She has taken lovely photos of dd previously, and dd might smile nicely as she knows the photographer
dd is at home this morning with dh and I just rang them, she asked me how the baby was - so sweet!
dh has a meeting with an agency this afternoon, fingers crossed it goes well....

MORNING ALL

DQ you dont have to re add pics if you dont want to and am sorry that this seems to be a pian in the ass its just that some people showed concerns about posting up on a nin password protected site, so i though beofre any bother id change it and set up the more traditional yahoo site which i can password protect should we have any problems..... was just thinking of all you guys really.
Its dead simple all you have to do is go to this link;

health.groups.yahoo.com/group/mumsnetpix/

and join the group, then you can access and add pics til your hearts content, some links there too.

Sorry again if this is bother to anyone i should have just done it first off but i got so excited about it i didnt think properly...or is that just becasue i am pg...

i will periodically post the site during today so that everyone gets to hear and i will be removing the photobucket site ( as it has my email detials on it) at some point today)

Hope everyone is ok this morning, strangely enough even tho i woke five times in the night i seemed to be able to get back to slep inbetween times, so feeling not to bad today.
What everyone up to ???

love everyones photo's. DQ your daughter is so cute - and you are not at all what I had imagined!!!! I got quite a shock looking at that photo!

scully - so sweet of your dd. My dd has taken to giving my bump a bedtime kiss and cuddle which always makes me chuckle.

Having thought long and hard about those photos I think I'd actually be too chicken to get my kit off infront of a stranger.

morning!! good lord you lot can talk!!
i missed loads yesterday!! i babysat my friends 5yo for the afternoon and my god she was hard work!! good as gold but didnt shut up for the whole 4hours she was in my house!! all you ladies with kiddies already i think you are all marvelous!! im now shattered and achey any i only had 1/2 a day of child rearing!! what the hell have i let myself in for?? whats all this about posting pics etc what o i have to do exactly? does anyone have a spare copy of the idiots guide to the internet??

Just a thought - tell me to bog off if you want

Would it be best to start a new thread for all the picture stuff like we have for the meet up and the Stats. That way it won't make this thread really long with everyones questions about how to post the piccies.

i wouldnt dare tell you to bog off..... good idea SH i havent ventured that far into the realms of mumsnet, so if anyone wants to start one titled mumsnetpix on yahoo 9 or something like that) let me know an i can post the details!

Till then if anyone has missed anything, just scroll down, i posted a 'how to' bit further down there

i was just wonderin, about the meet up is it just me an my pg brain or has the date changed from the 11th nov til the 17th nov?? its just wev gotta book th b+b and dp has to book the day off work in advance so... sorry to be a pain in the bum!!

Jays,

love the comments about your friend's 5yr old. my dd who is 3.5 talks CONSTANTLY, with opinions on everything In her world, it's all black and white, and everything should be straightforward and the way she wants it
dh and I are expecting to be told off regularly for doing things the wrong way with this baby
Last night dh put her to bed in her room, we then went upstairs 2hrs later to go to bed, and found her in our bed fast asleep. She had moved my pillows off, made herself comfortable and even remade her bed before leaving her room. Not sure if she thought if she made her bed that we would forget where we had put her and just leave her in ours made us smile, that's for sure
sh, definitely no kit off for me with these photos , just have to find a top that I can wear that fits well but I can rearrange if necessary

Ooops, sorry Ei, I think it could have been me that told you it was the 11th as that is the date I have down
Durr, and they are going to let me loose with a baby???

I'm off to choose some paint for the nursery today and then an exciting mw appointment this afternoon.
DPs snoring reached epic proportions last night so I ended up in the kids room after suggesting that he stop smoking & go on a diet today. Not heard from him yet today!!

morning all
well the last of my baby clothes and adams old rattles etc have just come out the drier and i will admit i am absolutely petrified. The realisation has just hit me that in 7 wks I will have a new baby how on earth am i going to cope...reallly panicking..couldnt sleep at all last night because of baby moving etc so am shattered todya which isnt helping with this panicky feeling...and yet we have soo much to do still...cot is up but nursery is a junk room with baby clothes put away...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

forgot to add...
good luck for today bonkerz XXX hope everything goes ok and the day isnt too hard for youXX thinkin of you hun xx

Breathe Nemo, breathe...
Look on the bright side, at least you have a cot to put up!!!

7 weeks is nearly 2 whole months. That is ages away (honest!!). You have so much time to sort everything.

I think a nice big mug of hot chocolate is in order for you - purely medicinal!

lol george..think a hot choccie will go down well....7 wks seems ages but its not at all..arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok breath breath..lol
