whimsicalname · 30/05/2012 12:12

Ooh ninja your day (apart from the mortgage meeting) sounds like bliss! I love sorting the baby things out. And because it's such a lovely day, you can hang all the little things out on the line and they'll be dry and smelling of sunshine in no time.

Princesslovelyboo · 30/05/2012 12:31

YAY Jen Well done, love her name!!

There is another lady Stateofconfusion from this thread who may come over, I have told her how wonderful you all are!

Look forward to posting on here full time just as soon as I get my BFP :)

NinjaChipmunk · 30/05/2012 12:39

whims my tens machine arrived yesterday so I can fiddle with that and read the instructions if I get bored Grin and finally finish making my new sling.

NinjaChipmunk · 30/05/2012 12:43

We're always up for new people boo send her over for a hello! Nutella joined us the other day too.

ScrambledSmegs · 30/05/2012 12:47

Ooh, I love a good Tens machine. I found it strangely pleasant, like a tingly massage [weirdo emoticon]

Thanks for telling State to head over here boo, good idea. Hope Nutella sticks around too, the more the merrier.

Wonderful news jen and I love the name!!!
We want to hear all about it too, 4 days, you poor things!

tock I had a ravenous hunger until about a week ago, now back to normal but I just HAD to eat or I felt sick, I think its pretty normal.

Who is next to pop then or do we have a little break for a while?

I have ordered loads of clothes online in various sizes, hopefully something will fit!!

TheLittleFriend · 30/05/2012 13:20

Congratulations Jen ThanksThanksThanks

clickingtock · 30/05/2012 13:29

Ninja - enjoy the tingles, and you can use it afterwards for aching backs etc.

When's your next scan date Far. Hope you get some satisfying clothes. It's hard as bumps seem to change size from morning to eve, let alone each week!

Re' daft hunger - classic weird preggo lunch. Cos lettuce, slices of carrot, 2 hard boiled eggs, walnuts and feta. This is q healthy for me as I am usually chasing the sort of food I would never normally eat - spring rolls/takeaway eg. Of course there may also have been some plain walkers crips involved before lunch. Why is it that when you're finally diffed and should be filling yourself with the best of the best you succumb to the naughty stuff? Ah well, I'm sure it will calm down after June.

StateofConfusion · 30/05/2012 14:51

Thanks for the intro boo

Hello everyone!

Well today I finally found out I didn't have a dodgy stick to pee on, and I wasn't imagining my symptoms, there was a lovely wriggly baby in there --not just lots of cheese and ice pops-- I'm 10+6. Due 20/12/12 and extremely nervous as I had 1 CP, 1 early MC and 1 MMC to get here. I do have a nearly 5yo ds and a 3 yo dd who I'm considering telling so they understand why I can't be a climbing frame anymore.
