Dec 05: Advent Calanders at the ready.....

[bigbaubleeyes]

Hello good idea from tomcat

What are all your xmas tips and recipes or stuff you're doing to get you thru the next fewdays/weeks to EDD's

I going to try and make a stocking to hang in the nursery for when my little lewis comes home and for the first time bake a christmas cake.

santaGEORGEiscoming to town...think I like that one best.

[george32]

LOL Minnie, if you don't get your shopping done soon you'd better hope it's me!!!

Kangel, hope you manage to get word to us somehow. It seems so sad to go through 9 months with you and then lose you at the last hurdle.

, thanks Nemo, knew you'd come up with some for me. Think the first one sounds a bit like I like my drink too much (although maybe I should choose it when you think how long it's been since I've had anything).
Think it has to be SantaGeorgeIsComingToTown.

[santageorgeiscomingtotown]

Did it work, did it work??? Am I now officially part of the festivities?

I had this list from ages ago - it probably doesn't include everyone but hopefully most people - plus there are probably a few on here who have since left the thread.

I can't believe we actually made it to December! Remember how worried most of us were when this thread started! And now in either a matter of a few days or a couple of weeks we will all have our babies - it's sooo fab

Oh Sweetheart, you're in the final days. I'm soooo happy for you I could cry. But I'm at work so I won't. Gotta go beat up a deserving colleague... So crying would deffo be bad for the tough girl image.

Good luck to you!! (and to everyone else on here)

[THOMCATsForLifeNotJustForXmas]

oh well done sweetheart. Well done, and good luck. OMG, can't quite believe we're here, it really is so exciting

[sweetheart]

Uwila, thanks so much - I've had some lovely messages from the Junies (as I loke to call you )

I'll pop in and let you know when I've popped

How are you getting along? OK?

[Nemoinapeartree]

is there really nothing I can take for a cold apart from paracetamol???????????????? Feel sooo miserable. I have even just baked cookies and some fairy cakes but cant face having any

[sweetheart]

Nemo - can you make a tea of hot lemon and honey - perhaps slip a tiny bit of brandy in it?

[flutterbee]

I've added myself to the list, I know I know I have got my baby but my due date is still the same , and it may give you ladies who have weeks left to go some hope that it can happen much sooner than you expect.

I've decided that George must be going through a growth spurt as every other feed is 2 hours and he still takes the full 4-5oz what a fatty, not much good for my sleep though.

I will launch the Post-natal thread over the weekend so pop away ladies.

will have to ask dh to bring in lemon and honey...lol

[sweetheart]

ohhh and aslo there is a herbal rememdy called Echinachia (sp?) which you could try. It's very good for getting rid of colds and generally boosting your immune system

[Nemoinapeartree]

Flutterbee hopefully you wont be alone much longer. Weird how all other threads a few ladies have popped before the month but apart from yourself everyone elses bubs have held on for dec..lmao

[flutterbee]

I think he must get it from his Dad, you know always coming too early .......

Only joking darling if you happen to see this over my shoulder one day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nemoinapeartree]

pmsl FB am sure your dh would be most delighted with that comment.

afternoon ladies!! lovin the xmas names btw!! made me laugh heartily they did!!
kangel, nice to see you back here if only for a day or 2 good luck hun keep on touch if you can!!
sid, HAPPY DUE DATE TO YOU...{ei sings at the top of her voice... cover your ears!!}
well iv had an eventful morning!! i had a m/w appt at 10 which turned into a trip to the hospital for blood tests and monitoring cos i meantioned my itchiness to her and she packed me off to the hosp!! she said it was only a precaution but they need to check my liver function as i could have obstetric cholestasis!! jeez!! i did get a cuppa for my troubles tho!! and dp didnt complain about being there once!! i think hes takin the hint that he p@#*es me off when he does!! he even offered to stay home from work and take care of me!! i said no tho cos we need the £ right about now!! anywho if i am suffering from O.C they said i will be induced at 38 weeks so i might have to change my date dependin on the result- which i have to ring for tomorrow at 4pm!!
how is everyone today??
bonkerz, be careful hun we dont want u 2 hurt yourself!! is it icy where you are??
my minds gone blank so if iv missed anyone out sorry

[ei23mistletoe]

oooooh forgot to add... my brand new tumble dryer is gettin delivered tomorrow!! isnt it funny the things you get excited for when youv got nowt to occupy your time!!

[MINNIE1]

George,
Its wouldnt be the best time for me to go right now.. LOL o well.. Promise i will have it all done in 2wks time.

Dp is on a spring clean!!! He cleared out his office (which was a tip and i am going no where near it) So while i have him in the mood i have loads of jobs for him to do!!! My knicker drawer need a good clear out!! cant see how in gods name i'll ever get back to a nice trim size!

Nemoinapeartree
If a big hug helps (((((((((hug)))))))) its horrible to have a cold not to minf haveing a cold and buba on the way.. Wrap up tight and feet up.

SH,
Know what you mean about the worrie at the start.. But look at us now its all coming together WERE HAVING BABIES yipppppeeeee.

EI,
Is you itchy tummy itchy all the time? I do get a little bit i though it was down to the skin expanding..

[ei23mistletoe]

minnie, my tummy is horribly itchy all the time and cream doesnt help at all!! also iv had a funny itchy/ sore feeling in my palms which i put down to the carpal tunnel syndrome but the m/w said thats a sign of O.C so to get it checked out. if you are worried hun let your m/w know and shel send you for the test aswel. apparrantly its not a common condition and 99% of the time it turns out to be a hormonal imbalance which goes away by itself!! nowt to worry about really unless of course you are scratching all the time

[dramaqueen72]

afternoon ladies
woah -can we say nesting at my house?????I cant stop sorting and cleaning and making lists its not very me (esp the mad cleaning. esp the cleaning of windows and curtain at gone 11pm last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) dh is worried
kangel I'm going to miss you!!! please try and get onnline when you have that pumpkin and tell us all about him/her.
jays, you can have up to three mugs of tea a day. I like it, but each brand tastes different.
sid, sorry its your due date and no baby yet..hang in there,.... its less than 3% that turn up on the actual day so maybe tomorrow? fingers crossed.
expat, have a break and yes take the time off, poor you.
