Right then my lovelies, this thread is going sloooooowly now we have our little secret facebook group

But we need to keep posting here for people who haven't joined our other group, so keep on going!

If anyone wants to join the facebook group, can they ask someone cleverer than me and they will set it up for you!

Old thread is here

I don't to vomit either when I was young and worked in McDonald's a little girl was sick and I was wretching so much her mother took the mop off me and cleaned the dining area!

YY to the vomit aversion. In fact I am not good with sick, poo or snot. Whose idea was this having a baby lark? What on earth am i going to do?!?!

deardear I do not envy you!

kayano hope you feel a bit better after a bath and a sit down

oh goodness deardear, what an awful night! When I was pg last time, someone pooed all over our bathroom, they must have been really ill, and because it was a group of teens over, they were too embarassed to say anything, just tried to clear it up as best they could. Poor thing. When I found it when they'd all gone home I had to clear it up. SOOO much retching.

On the colleague with IVF miscarriage - it might just be worth bearing in mind that given the timings you've described, it might be around her due date now, and she will be remembering that she would have been on maternity leave with a big bump. It is hard that not everyone is excited for you, but it's also very hard losing such a precious baby, especially around the due date, and especially at christmas. I really hope she's able to be interested in the baby when you take it in, but if she's like I was, I would be opening thrilled for people and sob and weep for hours in private and with DH. Infertility is indescribably awful.

On a lighter note, i'm shattered!! DD not well today, don't quite know what it is, so expecting a bad night with her too. I should therefore be asleep, but am crocheting with telly instead. oops :-) GOing to see the Snowman with live orchestra tomorrow (if DD is OK) which is going to be fun!!

It's eier with your own kids butbi can't change another child's pooey nappy or watch a kid with dripping snot. I gagged today at a friends when talking about it lol.

Baby sick is nothing like older child sick. The smell isn't acidic so can cope with that.

My two have been taught from a young age that getting to thebtoilet or a bowl/towel is preferable to having mummy chucking up as well and having to clean it themselves. M have even had to ring my mum o come sort some out.

There must be something in the air, all this talk of vomit.

Woke up today at 5am to hear DD retching on the monitor, she had woken up out of her sleep and vomited all over her bed and wet herself too. Cleaned her up, she and I went back to sleep. She woke me up a few hours later saying she needed the potty, so I went into her bedroom to be greated by more vomit all over her bed and poo on the floor where she had diarrhoea and it had slid out of the leg of her pyjama trousers!

Oooh... all this talk... Can't WAIT to be a parent!!

Oh don't worry bad poomagedons and dv are few and far between and when it is your DC lying there feeling sick, you just want to make them feel better whatever way you can.

The lovely snuggles, giggles and 'I love you mummy' more than make up for it

Poomagedons lol I changed my worst nappy in 7.5 yrs this week.

Oh and when they kiss you and say i wuv woo mummy you will melt!

I find it harder when i'm ill and they are crawling all over me than when they are ill, and both together is hell.

I'm currently trying to wrap pressies with the help of 2 and 5 yr boys hmmm

oooh QueenFee can I come and help? I don't have any left to do :(

I love present wrapping!! Did all of DP's yest and my bro's... only got parents left to do... but I was in their house, so will do them tonight

YAY PREZZIES

I have been north. In fact I have been VERY norty!

Went out to lunch with a friend and had a glass of prosecco pink fizz. We didn't fancy desert as were stuffed so had another glass!

Was a bit red cheeked when I came out

I may have a small glass tonight, as a reward for finally getting everything done.

Hermoine feel free :) still all the kids pressies to wrap and i'm just not in the mood this yr. Next yr I will have it all finished by middle of november, even with a 8mth old in tow!

Its sad as I usually love christmas buy just so exhausted this year.

Boo hiss to all the sicky bugs, not what you need just before Christmas. DD has done three poos today, each progessively runnier so I'm hoping this isn't the start of it. I agree though, you don't mind so much when they are your own but it is 100 times worse when you are both ill at the same time.

I have a whole night of wrapping ahead of me so feel free to come and help.

We have a bottle of champers in for christmas day. I have been in hospital a couple of times this week as had some bleeding and when I was there on Wednesday the doctor made me feel like a criminal for having a drink! She asked if I drank alcohol and when I said yes, she said even in pregnancy. I said I had had a couple of glasses of wine at the most and she went into a big lecture about it. My mw said no more than 2 units a week was ok . I'm still having a glass of champers though.

Probably won't get chance to post before christams as FIL is arriving tomorrow so wishing you all a happy and relaxing festive break. Bit scared as feb is just round the corner and then it is OUR TURN - yikes!

My sympathies to all those who are feeling crap or with ill dcs, have a stinking cold and all I want to do is crawl into bed and stay there! DS has had an ear infection, but looks to be over the worst now, it's just me and DH who are now suffering! forgot to stock up on paracetomol/gaviscon/rennie today, really don't want to go shopping tomorrow so will just have to keep fingers crossed for the next few days!

I've always said I'd like 3 or 4 kids, (this one is dc2) but have not really enjoyed this pg as much as the first so we'll see in a year or two whether we want any more..!

Was my last day at work today, so glad I've finished, mat leave doesn't officially start til mid Jan, just using up my remaining leave between now and then. Also saw the MW for 34 wk check and to go thru birth plan.

Merry Christmas to you all, not sure if I'll get back on again in next few days

oh man, it really is ok to drink a glass of wine!! Crazy healthcare professionals.

DD has nasty nappies too, but i think it's teething rather than a bug, but she's really struggling again. Hope it doesn't ruin her holiday.

Cutting out angels and sheep for Bethlehem street party tomorrow!

No vomit since 4am, whoohoo Christmas is back on

Just popping on to wish everyone a happy and wonderful Christmas! Hope we all feel better from our assorted bugs and that our DH/Ps don't play up and that our DCs behave nicely too!

All us first timers - last one just us!! Give it a couple more years and it will all be REALLY REALLY exciting and we get to do snowy footprints in the lounge and leaving out mince pies and carrots for FC and the reindeer!

ps I posted on 2 AIBU threads today and now I'm really scared. I didn't start the threads, I just responded. And gah! I forgot to put the "YABU" or "YANBU" in both of them. Flippin schoolboy error.

Oh and pps since I forgot it earlier, 32+1, or 55 days to go according to Pregnology (thanks Bill I am now obsessively checking it every day!!)

Just did an enormous post and stupid laptop deleted it, ARGH!!!

So to boil it down, have a lovely Christmas everybody, hope Santa is very, very good to you, and we all make it through the day unscathed! xxx

Happy Christmas everyone, may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts.

Be back in a week or so!

xx
