klou had an alright day yesterday, was knackered though at the end of it, then dad rang at 11.30 to say this muscle thing he has thats affecting his eyes has started to affect his breathing and he had called an ambulance, so he went to hospital andi had to fetch dad and mum back at half 4 this morning i am ready for bed now believe me!

i am off now till tomorrow night, so have good weekends the rest of you, and melly get a bloody move on

oooooooo Iwish put some piccies on!!! Bet you didn't stop blubbing!!

Seems to be a hair day today :) Just dyed my hair back to it's 'normal' horrible mousy colour, as thought I'd be a real mum rather than a false blonde one lol!! Although last time I did it, it bloody didn't take and washed out, so we'll see this time!

Awww it was lovely girls!! He is absolutely gorgeous and I enjoyed every second! I have put a few pics on my profile. We got 8 colour printed, 2 black and White printed, a DVD with 108 pics on and we are going back next week for another scan to get a DVD because the DVD machine broke on them lol. Free to go next time and they knocked £20 off today!!

Hope you have all had a lovely day xx

He is beuuuuuuuuutiful Iwish, piccies are so clear!! Lovely that you could see all of him, that's what I would have liked but because we don't know the sex, we couldn't :(
Good deal you got there too!!

Thanks klou we are so happy. We asked for proof he was a boy and there is definitly no denying he's a boy! Saw all his bits even in 2d!! Your pics are fab too, I think they are just as clear.
We have showed our parents and are going showing my Nans today. I just want to show him off to the world.
Have you had s nice weekend? X

aww iwish he is so cute!!

still no word from melly? something has got to have happened dont you think.

i hve had a totally crap weekend, we have been racing again in the horsebox over night. it was so noisy (late night disco) that i couldnt sleep, had about 3 hours in total, the bed was so hard that its given me terrible backache and couldnt get comfy at all and have had constant indegestion for the whole 2 days which has made me feel sick and awful

we are supposed to be staying over night again in 3 weeks, but its dawned on me today that i will be 37 weeks and no way am i staying in the horsebox again till this baby is out, so i have a chioce of driving 20 mins to a hotel or b & b where i still might not sleep well, or 1 hour and 20 mins home where i will sleep like a log, then have to drive back the next day.

today has made me feel proper fed up and sorry for myslef

hope you have all had better weekends than me.

Ha ha, good job he was a boy lol!!
Can't remember but was it you who's parents weren't very excited about it all or am I getting confused. If it was, are they now they've seen your piccies? :)

Weekend been busy here. Went to the local game fair yesterday instead of today, thank go we took our wellies as it was thick of mud no matter where you walked. Some peeps were walking around bare footed as it was easier!!
Got a few things for the dogs, DH got a shooting bag, and got some loooooooovely flavoured cheeses (and I had a lovely chocolate sample :)).
Then just went and got a bit of shopping and B&Q.
Today we've been clearing rooms, removing curtains etc etc for the plasterer who starts tomorrow, we now can't bloody move! Can't wait for it all to be done, hoping it dries quickly so we can paint and get to rooms back to normal.
The nursery-to-be is FULL to the brim of crap (mostly stuff that needs to go back to the Midlands and stuff that needs to go in the loft), so can't do anything in there until the rooms are dry and can move the bed out into the other room etc.
Also got to phone a carpet fitter tomorrow as the carpet in our lounge we'll reuse for the landing and room being plastered rather than just chuck it, then DH can wood the lounge. Hoping someone can come out at the end of the week.

What you been up to?

Am guessing Melly is on her way to meeting her little one if she's not already here :)

X post Liz, sorry your weekend been a bit You should be taking it easy and not bloody 'camping' lol!!

Scary that in 3 weeks you'll be 37 weeks!!

ohh i love game fairs klou where was that?

we have booked to go to chatsworth show on the first weekend in september, we have bought a caravan specially for it well we had a caravan anyway but have traded it in and added some money to, and got a better one with a fixed bed and a built in microwave i cant wait, i love looking at all the arty crafty crap and i will actually be able to eat the cheeses that i look at at all the other shows we have been to this year but cant have

just had a shower and glass of milk and feel LOOOAADSSS better.

Thanks ladies, I keep looking at the pics and thinking how sweet he is

Sorry you have had a crappy weekend Liz and I'm with you on the indigestion, I have had it for a few days and gaviscon is doing sod all! I think if you are going to go at 37 weeks your best bet is trying a hotel because 1hour 20mins is a long drive!

klou it was my mum that was a bit off when I said we were having a boy. She has started getting a little more excited now and she seemed to like the piccies. Kept telling me how much he looks like DP lol.
Wow you have done loads this weekend! What's a game fair? Hope a carpet fitter can come out to you soon then.

Going getting little ones bedroom furniture next weekend, can't wait!

Hiya - Iwish those photos are lovely. He is a total sweetie. Good luck with the furniture hunting - have you already picked what you want?

liz sorry you had a rubbish night. We're going away this coming weekend and DH suggested camping for one night and I've just said no - I'll be 36 weeks and I just want to be comfy... TBH I'd be inclined if I were you to go home after the first night and not go back for the second - but think that's cos I'm feeling generally pretty lazy and tired!!!

Klou that sounds like a lovely day. Bet the dogs loved it even with all the mud. Sorry that your house is all upside down but I'm sure it'll be worth it when it's all done.

Really hope Melly's okay - she was going to be induced today if she'd not already gone into labour I think? Am wishing really hard that she's having a good birth and Poppy is a happy little lady.

We had some friends staying overnight with their 15 month old little boy. He's a love but pretty fractious and I think it's one of the first times they've stayed away from home. Poor thing hardly slept and then was teething today. Felt so sorry for them. His mum has had pretty bad PND and takes days like that really hard. Just wanted to cuddle her.

For me, the labour prep going a bit better. Last week at work this week. HURRAY!!! Bags nearly packed - just need to wash baby clothes - as we're going up north next weekend I want to take the bags with me just in case I go into labour up there [worried emoticon]. And we've got the flooring sorted for the downstairs bathroom and utility - guy is coming this week. Carpet fitter sorted for upstairs and DS's bedroom furniture being delivered in a fortnight... Nearly there!!!

Sorry for monster post. Have a good week folks!

Just worked out my dates and good God it's getting close isn't it?!?!?!?
It's between 5.4, 7.4 and 9.4 weeks here depending if s/he is 2 weeks early, on time, or 2 weeks over lol!! Sounds so scary when you put it like that!!!

Plasterer in today yippee!! He's starting in the lounge rather than the bedroom, which we were not prepared for as DH has a few things to patch up in there that he wanted to talk to the plasterer about what he needed to do to get it done for tomorrow, so he's got to do it today arrrrrgh! Not a happy bunny as he's already 'planned his day' but he said it doesn't matter as long as he can get on tomorrow.
Can't wait, going to look so different!! :)

yes klou its scary how its crept up on us isnt it!

EONrep thank you for the offer of help, i will ask if i need anything! i have rang the ombudsman and have done as they advised, i wrote a letter of complaint asking for a reason as to why i have got this massive bill so i now have to wait and see what they come back with.

Hello all! Sorry I haven't been here I've been rather busy :o After my sweep on thursday I kept getting loads of cramps and the midwife told me I was already 2-3cm dilated! My waters broke at 5.43am (I happened to be looking at the clock) friday morning and my contractions started coming straight away every 2-3 minutes, we went straight upto the labour ward and after about an hour of being there, by this time it was about half 7 ish, I was 7cm dilated, I had gas and air but it did bugger all really, just helped me to concentrate on breathing, a bit later on I had a shot of diamorphine which also did nothing, just made me feel reeeeeeeeally tired. Eventually, after just 18 minutes of pushing Poppy Louise Beighton was born at 12:00pm on the dot, weighing 7lbs 12oz and with a full head of hair :) the whole thing from start to finish was just 6 and a quarter hours! I got a graze and a tiny little tear but didn't need stitches (phew!)

Anyway I probably won't be on much for a while so don't worry about us :o theres a couple of pictures up for you to have a nosy at! See you all later xxx

Forgot to mention, not 12 hours after my waters went, we were back home already! We got back home about half past 5.

Those pictures are gorgeous Iwish! You must be well chuffed :) I'm glad to hear your mums finally getting excited!

I hope everyone else is ok and not too jealous :o

Ciao for now! xx

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! i am so so so glad it was ok for you. so will poppy's birthday be on 17th or 18th?

Glad you saw that eon message on the other thread.

Well, lounge plastered bar the sloping wall at the side of the stairs (that's the bit DH needed to patch up but plasterer said no rush as prob wouldn't get that bit done anyway, so DH doing it tomorrow while plasterer does bedroom/bathroom ceiling) Looks so different, love it, and makes us wonder how we've put up with it for 2 years!!!!!

DOH!

klou sounds liek you are really getting on with things. chris is fetching the cot tonight, i presume fetching it and putting it up in the same night is pushing it abit but i will give him a hard time if he doesnt!
