Welcome to our new home! :)

Laughing about the pea

And Camel, well done you for knocking off a whole week!

LP I am 37+4 but baby is measuring a couple of weeks ahead so I am feeling pretty full! Would have been finishing work today (in fact right now) so am glad that happened early.

Oh, don't frighten me - I've got my PhD upgrade viva in my 37th week!

[idiot trying to do it all emoticon]

Wowee! Well mine is due to the GD so there's no reason to think you will be in my position (all fours, swaying).

Will you be requiring the baby to call you Dr Mum?

(or Dr Mom?)

I think I'll be a Mummy.

And unfortunately, it's just the upgrade - I will still have another 2 years of work/writing, then the final viva before I'm a proper Dr.!

Ah, I see. Well Mummy is more than enough for now!

Ooooh periody pains sound promising kids - that's how it started for me with DD.

fee I love the name change - was hoping you'd go for it after the scan

Thanks re all kind words. I did wonder about whether to say anything about unnecessary distress caused by unprofessional sonographer but I'm not sue I've got the emotional energy to revisit it all. Maybe later when we've had an amazing 20 week scan

And jeez Louise re PHD business! That's pretty impressive going at a time when just getting your knickers on in a morning is hard work!!

Yes I'm impressed too! I have a PGDip, was contemplating applying to complete my MSc in August but then found out I was diffed. In fact it's kind of nice to have taken a step down work wise. Come in, do job, handover!

Oh my days, my life is changed forever! My skin is very dry at the best of times and my fanjo has been dry since getting diffed (trying to avoid thrush treatments). I have been prescribed Dermol for hands for 4 years after they started getting sore at work. It's specifically prescribed for hand washing but I looked at it tonight and thought Why can't I put this in the bath? My skin is singing with joy! It's so smooth and hydrated :) I used it on my fanjo too. Changed for life, I swear!

Ha! All hail Fee and Her Joyous Singing Fanjo

And my tilted uterus - so said the sonographer! - I'm just like Imogen Thomas

faith when I meet you i'm going to be expecting a quiet-but-definitely-there celestial choir emanating from your Singing Fanjo

My skin is singing! My fanjo isn't convinced as yet! :)

I like your singing fanjo Faith

I might have had a show.

Eek blonde you're on the home stretch! Do you feel ready to have your baybee? Is your bag packed and everything? I'm so excited! :)

I'm not sure. I was ready to have an induction on Tuesday... I suddenly can't remember anything about natural labour! I did the wrong homework!

I'm going to have a bath. And remain calm. (possibly)

Evening all. I am bloody knackered. I have had such a busy week and I feel like a cabbage tonight.

Went to my final ante-natal class tonight which was good. Haven't been feeling loads of movement so they agreed to put the monitor on and check everything was OK. Of course, it was all fine, but I just think I am really insensitive to movement!

Hello, Dor. Glad the AN class was good and you got to hear the heartbeat. Always gets me more than anything else, hearing that. Beautiful.

ugh......two hours sleep thanks to being up all night with DS who had a fever.....I could NOT get his blasted temp down. He's thrashed around all night.
and he'd been sick in his bed/room so we had no choice but to share the spare bed.

I am done in.

Sorry to hear it Rollo, poor DS and poor you. How is he today?

I'm still here, no new excitement. Should really go and do something active to help things along but hard to resist the urge to curl up in a ball.

I now have an image of the singing fanjo in my head...

Sorry to hear about DS rollo -hope he gets better soon.

LP massively impressed that you're tackling a PhD and pregnancy at the same time!

Not much to tell here either. 39+6 today -my actual due date is tomorrow!! This magical date in the calendar that's seemed so long away for ages, and now it's tomorrow! I'm still having regular-ish period pain contractions, but they don't seem to be ramping up in frequency or level-of-pain. I think I'm destined to be one of these women who is in early labour for weeks...

Oh cake I was sure you were going to reappear later with a baybee! I feel the same except I feel like nothing will happen till Tuesday and then I'll have to have the induction. D'you think it's worth me calling on Monday to see if they'd do another sweep?

I secretly want to have the baybee on Monday because it was my Grandmother's birthday. But trying to put that out of my mind.

I left HOLB in charge and went to bed for three hours. I feel something approaching human now. DS under a blanket on the sofa watching endless crappy television, and declaring he's not hungry. Trying to get lots of fluid into him and going to make him some nibbles in a bit so there's light stuff to eat if he feels like it.

Sending out positive energy for these babies to put in an appearance.

I didn't go overdue with DS so can't offer any advice really...

Glad you got done rest queen.

I am oh so tired after a long work say but it was a good day. My belly is very firm now I so I feel more 'pregnant'.

I'm so excited that we should have baybees here within the week! :)

I still feel really paranoid at the moment about lack of movement. I am feeling some but it feels less than it did last week. Maybe he is just a bit more squished up in there. Did anyone else find they got less movement as time went on?
