I should also have mentioned Jay that i've eaten v silly things consistently - since waking at 6.30 in this order: xmas cake, 2x clementines, posh cheese n biscuits, artichokes n biscuits, mince piesx2 with brandy butter and I'm now into pringles. We have no chocolate.

Hey Ladies,

I had my first daughter in April of last year and whilst I am not having another for a wee while I just thought I'd wish you all the best

It will be interesting to see if you any of you deliver on Christmas day!! Are any of you due on the 25th?!

Good luck!! xx

tamula · 23/12/2005 13:48

Erm, April of this year! I'm already talking in 2006!!

Jaysfirst · 23/12/2005 14:02

lol @ both tamula and BBE!

It will soon be next yr so dont worry too much! I cant remeber if there are ladies due on 25th ( prob) but i think everyone is going to pop then! DH has just opened a book on how much our wee one is going to weigh, have had bets from 7lbs - 10lbs........i like the former guess!!

Awww BBE no chocolate is sacrilidge, i say u send someone to fetch you some, should mix well with your artichokes (yeeeeeuk) i have just had a cheese and pickle sarnie with pickled onions...baby is now complaining with very intense hiccups!!!

bigbaubleeyes · 23/12/2005 14:18

I've just rung DH at work to find out when he's comming home (has flexi hours)

Can't believe how not tired I am but with nothing to do, a few weeks ago I would have popped to the metro centre but i wudn't dream of going there today preg or not!

I might order a pay to view.

bigbaubleeyes · 23/12/2005 14:51

Jaysfirst · 23/12/2005 16:37

dramaqueen72 · 23/12/2005 17:02

Jaysfirst · 23/12/2005 17:17

Jaysfirst · 23/12/2005 17:26

Jaysfirst · 23/12/2005 18:30

in fact where are all the mums/mums to be........?

Nemoinapeartree · 23/12/2005 19:27

hi all
sounds like scully is in labour then..hopefully cuddling her baby by now.

Sending lots of labour vibes to everyone.

George hope our shop brought on contractions..lol Thanks for the cards hun.

DQ sitting in the pool on xmas day sounds good to me. Am sure you will get to do all the santa prep with DD.

BBE dont blame you about not going to metro centre..I hate shopping in major places close to xmas and its ten times worse having to negotiate a pram around the crowds..lol Hope the film was good.

Jays 7-10lb lol you never know you might get a tiddler like I did and everyone was convinced she would be 9lb+ like DS. He was obviously well over cooked..lol

Im still around Hannah being an angel so has been surprisingly easy to adjust...so far as dh is still here..lol We went to tescos for our food shop today and it was like a mad house so god help anyone going tommorow..lol Starting to feel chrissmassy now although all the baby xmas outfits i bought had to be given to a friend as hannah is way too small for all of them. So we have one tiny baby gro we bought on monday.

santageorgeiscomingtotown · 23/12/2005 19:35

Hey Nemo,
Nope, nothing happening here even after our trawl round the supermarket.
I'm so glad that Hannah is being good for you and letting you have some rest.

I'm with the rest of you ladies in being bored out of my brain!! I'm going to go crazy before Christmas is over.

awayninahmanger · 23/12/2005 22:21

I've changed my mind. I don't want to do this anymore. Enough. I will wake up with a washboard stomach and its all been a bad dream.
Yes, still here dq! you? scully what's happening?!
Went shopping with ds this morning for nice sausages and fish, met friend for coffee, had lunch yet again, went to another friend for tea and cake, absolutely wiped out by 7.30pm! I'm not quite bored yet but I soon will be, I think it is mainly the fact everything takes so LONG! those roller skates for ds definitely a BIG mistake as he borrowed his friend's too small Barbie ones and fell down their stairs - or most of their stairs - by sound of it, he was OK just frustrated.
Borrowed a 'nice' mat top for Xmas Day just in case it still matters.
P is on his way back with a Chinese, he is really spoiling me these days, no? in before closing time AND with food, I'm quite choked.
Jays is it Woman you're in then? I will go and look for it tomorrow! cool!

dramaqueen72 · 23/12/2005 22:52

hey ladies, bloody uncomfy tonight. no, i dont suppose it means anything. ninah -am with you, enough now, dont actually want to do this anymore. you wont believe how many people today have told me which days are/arent good for me to have the baby on. ffs. how to really annoy a pg lady. gosh I'm cranky, back ache, BH, mmmmmmmmm, all so lovely.
nemo, I bet you just die laughing at us all grumbling here. but bloody hell, ow.
scully am deeply envious of you, just know youre snuggled up somewhere with a gorgeous newborn. sigh.
george, dont go mia like that, all afternoon, blimey I thought youd had it. promise me you'll check in through out christmas so i'm not talking to myself!!!
yes ninah wtf do we wear at christmas? who KNOWS what shape or size I'll be? so how the heck am I supposed to have anything handy? cant believe my sister rang me today to see 'what kind of catering' i was doing for boxing day tea. er.i dotn know dont care and may not even have had baby by then. do bring food, whatever you actually want to eat but be prepared to bugger off if am giving birth. NOT the answer she expected I dont think!
blimey jays we went to the same school then abeit breifly! how crazy.
