[AggiePanther]

Here ya go

Happy Birtday, Maewest!
Congrats on your boy, Deblanca!

Evening and happy birthday Maewest! Last one before being a mummy!

Tweeni... when are you due? I'm going to be twenty one weeks on tuesday (I think!... not marvelous with my dates) Last week i felt lots of little flutters and twitches but this week i havent felt as much. The midwife at aqua natal said that being knackered can stop you feeling anything. My movements have had no pattern at all! Am looking forward to some regular kicking!

Deblaca... congrats on having a boy. Yous sound over the moon.

Jersey, I hope you're feeling a bit less tearful now... I'm going through a mad range of emotions lately... either quite tearful, or hugely happy, to the point of looking insane! Having some very wierd dreams. Last night I dreamt that I was running for miles and miles being chased by a gang of nasty people (one of those nightmare families on 'neighbours from hell' types). I woke up before they caught up with me, but it was only a matter of time! God only knows what that means!

Iamblossom... I'm really sorry, but i roared with laughter at Trevor!!! Its making me laugh typing it!!! HA (V sorry to any other halves, ds's called Trevor). I read your post in work and snorted so much that a bit snot flew out of my nose and I had to pretend that I was overcome with a sneezing fit!!! Again, heartfelt apologies to any people i've offended with my blatant mocking!

This thread is really good therapy! xxx

LOL @snottybel
I'm having lots of weird dreams too ..must be the hormones.
Getting lots of movements everyday too ...there's a busy little 'un in there

Congrats on the boy deblaca.

I've had the weird dreams as well, very strange.

Re the yoga I was told you can have time off but as mine would have been for sciatica which I had before this pregnancy, I was told that I couldn't as not directly preg related.

Glad to hear the sickness is going for those still suffering.

thanks for all your lovely congrats.

ditto here with the dreams - never before seem to have dreamt so much

as for yoga (and with a risk of pointing out the obvious) - not sure what area you're in but our local Y does a pregnancy yoga class with a creche (which is the most reasonably priced class in the area)

still not feeling any movements but now feel confident that he's swimming around in there like a little champion .......

Weird dreams here too! Still dreaming about mumsnetters, how weird am I?! Kayzed I dreamt about you having twins again - and by any chance are you tallish and slim with short darkish brown hair? And jersey - you do have a big bump don't you! And do you have long dark hair and wear a black and white stripey top? It would be so spooky if any of this strange stuff I'm dreaming was right

Wallace LOL .

Afraid not!! I have big bump but have chin length blonde/light brown hair and no haven't got a strippy black and white top.

Oh no your not putting that one on me Kayzed!!!!!! , you can have them .

Wallace your physic!!!!!

Hi ladies and welcome to deblaca.
I dont know about me having wierd dreams but my Dh definately has. He dreamt the other night that dd2 had a baby, like now at age 2 1/2.
Mind you it doesn't surprise me, the girls are always saying tha they have babies in their bellies. Dd1 has even given hers a name, Angel. And she constantly walks around with a dolly shoved up her jumper.
I have been very open about the pregnancy from the time I found out. So they obviously have been taking it all in.
Dd1 keeps asking me when am I going to the doc's to have the new baby.

Me I keep having nightmares about Marc going missing from his training base and never being found. Probably a mixture of pregnancy paranoia and all the stress associated with having a suicidal dad on my doorstep every day.
I've got complete nappy brain at the moment and am finding it difficult thinking about even simple things. Like how to spell dd2 name, Sophie (not hard). Is anyone else that bad?

My brain is fudge usually so hard to tell.

Re dreams, i was having a WONDERFUL dream last night, when I got woken up by DH turning his light on. 2.30am in the morning! I said what's up, and he said he had heard something and could now smell something but couldn't see anything down his side of the bed, so I looked and the FLIPPIN' CAT had pooed all over the carpet on my side of the bed! Good job DH heard her or I'd have been up to the loo and traipsed through it my bare feet!! So then I said I couldn't touch it being pregnant, and DH looked totally dismayed and said that we'd have to wake up DS (17 months) to do it cos he certainly couldn't, and then I just got the giggles big time. Sat up in bed snorting with laughter while I watched a male attempt at cleaning up shit whilst issuing instructions and reading the Vanish carpet cleaner directions to him. Couldn't get back to sleep for ages after that cos I kept getting the giggles again and the smell!!! Lord above. Bloody cat.

Anyway, thought I'd share that delightful story with you girls! Hope I haven't put anyone off their tea.

xx

Spooky

Evening girls!

Iamblossom... LOL out your cat poo story... you should write comedy! We get loads of cat poo in our garden in the summer, which is a nightmare, especially when you dont spot it and end up mowing it. I've tried all the anti poo tricks, like orange peel, half cups of water, smelly pellets etc. Its the same cocky grey thing that comes back and does it each time!

Pinkdolly, hope everythings ok with you chicken.. with your dad and stuff. My brain has become really marshmallowy. The other day, I was trying to think of the word Bristol (talking to a boss), and all i could come up with was 'that big place near the severn bridge'. He must have thought I was a complete melon. I've got exams three weeks today and I am destined to fail, as i cant remember much at all. Test me on a week by week step to the first twenty weeks of pregnancy and i'd do really well though!

Reading Mystic Wallace's dream theories, made me think how wierd it is that when you read someones post, you automatically have a picture of what you think that persons like, in your head! I picture Kayzed as being a right ozzie fitness fanatic, on the go all the time and really organised!!!

HC, I always picture with a big ponytail, wearing slippers and baking, in a room surrounded by HC things!

AggieP... think its the panther bit in your name and the fact that youve had leg/pelvis trouble, but i picture you with very black shiny hair, on crutches!

Wallace, I keep reverting back to flashes of braveheart when your posts come up!

I'll stop now before I end up digging myself into a hole and offending anyone!!! Does anyone else find themselves doing that? Blossom... you're definitely a wine drinker when not PG arnt you?!

Hope everyones had a lovely day! (Spub.. we are 21 weeks today! Wehey!)

Lol blossom ..my cat has similar habits ...little bugger ..dp very grumpy about it cos he has to do the clearing up.
Bumpy..nope my hair is definitely not black and shiny ...its (mostly) short, (bottle)blond and sort of chunky...no crutches yet either..I always have images of babybel cheese when I read you
Wallace - I always think of wallace &gromit.
HC has curly dark hair, pinkdolly is blond and girly, agalch is a redhead in red tartan ...jersey has short dark hair and wears a grey sweatshirt...I'll stop there for now in case I'm spookily accurate and scaring people

Morning ladies,can't believe im 18 weeks today.Time is just flashing by does everyone else feel like that? Aggie i do actually have reddish hair but you wouldn't know it as i have dyed it so many colours over the years,its currently brown underneath anf blonde and chocolate highlights and i do not wear tartan although my little dd does on occasion lol.Blossom,i almost wet myself when i read the cat poo story!! My dp just looked over frowned and shook his head as i snorted and laughed,he thinks im losing my marbles,im either giggling or crying at the mo.Anyway take girls and look after yourselves.

Morning all. Time is speeding at the mo - especially because I have several projects at work that are getting scarily close to deadlines. I'm feeling really moody at the moment - including flashes of rage, which is not really like me at all! Was lurking last night but didn't want to post because I just felt so weird. Hopefully yoga will sort me out today

Urgh at the cat poo story, curse that pregnancy supersense of smell! My cat is pretty wellbehaved, but did go through a phase of perching her bum just over the side of the tray and weeing over the edge, leaving a puddle underneath - nice!

morning everyone,
AggieP - your half right I am quite girly but I'm a long haired red head (helped by henna). My trademark is a giant pink fluffy bag which I use to cart the girls stuff in when we go out.

Well, i'm achey today, didn't sleep well and woke up feeling like I was paralysed for a few seconds (must have been lying really heavily in the bed). So now my neck and arms are stiff and achey, anybody else experience this?

Agalch - I was 18 weeks on Tuesday (according to scan), which should have made you 18 weeks sunday. As I'm due 25.7.
Have a good day all, catch up with you later!

Thanks Pinkdolly,I am sooo useless at keeping myself right on these dates.You'd never believe im on no4 would you?? Think i got a bit confused when they changed me from due 27 to due 23,oh well thats my excuse anyway.

Morning ladies

Haven't been on for a few days as I have a horrible tickly cough on my chest-v. painful and I keep weeing myself. Took a spare pair of Bridget Jones pants to work with me yesterday.

maewest-belated Happy B'Day wishes. ((xx))

deblaca-congrats on having a boy. ((xx))

Are you ladies determined to cause a D I V O R C E between me and DH????? Purlease can someone else be having a girl-lol!

Also trying to potty train DD as cannot stand the thought of changing 2 lots of nappies. Have bought some cheap leggings from Tescos-excellent as they stop the wee going everywhere but leaves her with a wet bum. She can't get the hang of the poo bit yet though.

I am actually 5ft tall and now weigh.................................... I only reached that weight at the end when I had DD. Heavens, if I do have another I really must shift some weight. Anyway, have short blonde hair which seems to be darkening as the years pass by so occasionally spray some lightening stuff on and sit in the sun alot. Have highlights done occasionally. Can't have long hair as it is so thick it grows out so have it thinned and have used straighteners for so long the waves have gone. Try and style it like Natasha Kaplinsky-bit too thick though.

Phoned Human Resources yesterday and they said even though I haven't been back at work long enough the Bank does waive the rule and lets you have up to a year off unpaid after 6 months SSP. Hurrah as dreading going back in December (my fave time of year).

Hope everyone is OK and doesn't fall asleep reading my essay . Off shopping to Lincoln with mum today so I'll catch up later.

BumpyBel - how did you guess? I miss wiiiiiiiine. Have the occasional glass every now and again, just to savour the taste and remind myself, but let's face it, we're not drinking are we, so not really much point. Then there's the whole breastfeeding period, so Mrs Sober it is. I'm not really as bothered as childless people think they would be. Plenty of years left to drink wine after all, and I don't miss hangovers, FACT.

Got loads to do today, going to the gym at lunch time, got the midwife at 10.45 for my belated 16 week check, looking forward to hearing the baby's heartbeat!

xxxxx

Remember to see if it is a horse or train IAMBlossom!

It is funny to see how we imagine eachother. MY name does have more to do with Braveheart than Wallace and Grommit, but not directly - it's a long story!

More dreams - I dreamt we had a girl!

I still haven't got my AFP results - that is two weeks now. I wonder if I should chase them up?

Hello girls - have you missed me? (no, don't answer that!) I've been staying at my dad's in Devon for the last 10 days whilst DH did loads of decorating etc. I'd like to say it looks v Homes and Gardens here now, but as it was boring stuff like ceilings and doors, you can't notice much apart from the general DIY mess everywhere and the all-pervading paint smell.

Whilst I was away though, my bump got really active. There were a few days when I think Pip had turned round and I was really feeling little kicks etc. I was sharing a bed with DD, and it was so lovely to watch her sleeping whilst feeling her little brother/sister moving about inside me

Welcome to all the new people and congrats on all the good scan news - just spent ages catching up with all the posts. Have to say HC - your DH - grrrr! I'm getting fed up with him moaning about not having a boy, so Lord knows how you must feel!!

On the names front, I've been having loads of arguments with DH about it. Our DD is called Emika, so I think this one kind of 'needs' to have an unusual (not wacky) name to keep a balance. I really wanted Cosmo for a boy, but DH put his foot down and said no. He didn't like Ellis either. Anyway, I think we're finally in (sort of) agreement on Trinity Lynne for a girl and Barnaby Philip for a boy. Had a lovely dream where I was holding the baby and just saying 'hello Trinity' over and over. Aww - makes me gooey just thinking about it!
