Welcome to our new home! :)

No he says it is just cramping. No nausea. Is easing a bit now but is very odd.

I hope he's not updiffed Dor!

Phew. He is better this morning. We are off for lunch with the gays today.

I did some epic shopping yesterday. I bought this gorgeous green and white spotty dress from mothercare and even The Mister said 'oh that looks gorgeous' so I had to have it.

Also bought nighties suitable for breast feeding as well as a fab new pair of check trainers. The Mister also bought new shoes. An expensive day yesterday but a good one!

Sympathy symptoms maybe?
Hope he's feeling better this morning and you have a nice trip back.

Anyone doing something exciting this weekend? I'm cleaning and decluttering -how fun. My mother is coming to visit next week though, so needs done...

Oh, x-post.

Sounds like you had a successful trip then -I like the sound of your new loot!

DS woke us up this morning with the most amazing treasure map! He was up early and so spent ages drawing it and has got endearingly cute spelling mistakes. It made me well up a bit because he's been so resistant to learning to write, and he's tried so hard to figure some of the words out and he's done really well.
We're going to attack it with old tea-bags and a lighter later to make it look 'olde worlde'

I've reached the stage now where I don't feel the urge to wee in the morning until I actually get out of bed.....then I have to run to the bathroom. I nearly didn't make it this morning....

Oh I'm glad it's settling. Can you do a link to the dress? (just cos I'm nosey!). Sounds like a good haul indeed! Have fun with your friends.

We're in charge of our nephew while Sis and BIL go to a wedding. I'm picking him up in a bit, taking him to a party. Fortunately I'm friendly with one of the Mums going so I won't feel too weird! He's staying overnight too. He luffs MSB very, very much so he will be very excited! :)

I will do a link when we are back home.

Off for lunch with The Gays today and then home :)

Oh this thread is moving fast now! I keep missing stuff from having to concentrate on work... So glad it is the weekend, I've always worked Saturdays until this job so I really do appreciate them, every weekend feels like a long one (oo-er).

I feel so disorganised compared to some of you. I get really anxious about buying the wrong thing or wasting money and end up buying nothing. We have ordered the car seat now thank goodness. But I'm faffing about procrastinating about the hospital bag as I can't decide where to start, what to buy & what to take from home (I've made a super list tho). I'm likely to have at least a 2 night stay as I'll have to stay there 24 hrs after the birth because of the GD. What nighties did you get Dor? More links when you are back from your gays please!

It is quite scary and exciting to have a date, I don't think it's really sunk in yet. Maybe we'll have 'twins' c&c!

Queenie, I have a friend who is quite an extreme pagan, she takes great offence at anyone referring to Hallowe'en or any other 'appropriated' festival for that matter, your celebrations sound much nicer as I always think it can't be much fun for her getting so annoyed about it all. I find it quite interesting as a subject but I'm not personally religious in any direction.

Was downtown yesterday and saw a child (barely into her teens it seemed like) with her child in a stroller, puffing away on a cigarette over the baby. Had to fight back tears over the strange mix of emotions. Still feel like crying, not entirely sure why.

That's your maternal instincts and hormones kicking in FTW! She could be big sister?

I survived the party. We are now chilling watching Dora.

blonde I so get the working weekends thing. I have luffed the last two years not having any weekends or nights! I'm hoping with doing long days it won't be every weekend....

I'm waiting for my haul before I rush it t buy anything. The main thing we'll need is a pram and car seat but I will be looking for a Combo thing for that I think. We'll need some furniture like a wardrobe and chest of drawers for baybee too. Official scan date letter came through today :)

i've had a major meltdown today. It was so bad that I threw my lunch on the floor (it was a sandwich) and stropped off into another room. I'm just sick to effing death of never being able to sit down to eat without a million and one questions/requests/interuptions from DS and DH and today I just had no tolerance for it at all because I felt so ill and needed to EAT damn it.

Then I went and wrapped myself in the duvet and did the full on snot bubble crying for ages.
Just feel like I'm totally out of control of my hormones and emotions today.

Oh queenie :( maybe when you feel like this you should send your DH with your DS for a bit? Get a bit of peace? You need to tell DH you need that space. I hope the duvet snot bubble has helped you feel better.

faith I can't complain on that score because usually (and even pre-diffment) if I look tired or frazzled HOLB will take DS off into the garden/out for a walk etc and let me have some down time on my own.

I'm obviously just hormonal today, I'm crying at all sorts of stupid things.

Have baked some cakes, got dinner ready in advance and DS is currently at dance. Going to slob in front of the TV and eat chocolate all night.

Sometimes I think we just need to explode from all the hormones! I just slept for two hours! I haven't even really done they much today, I just suddenly collapsed!

I bought these nighties

and

this dress.

I think the dress looks better on me!

Ooh the dress is gorgeous! Do the nighties have buzzwam access then?!

I am vairy tired despite the 2 hour kip last night. Munchkin is tucked up in spare bed so I'll be crawling under my duvet in a bit! MSB has fallen asleep on the sofa next to me already!

Yeah the nighties have what The Mister calls 'side access'.

We are home safe and sound and I am knackered. My back is so bloody sore!

Well I hope you sleep well in your own bed :)

Oh, they're nice. I am looking for some nighties of that genre.

However today I bought some maternity pads which is slightly less glamorous!

I wore one of the nighties last night and it was very comfy. The only this is that the inbuilt boob bit seems quite shallow and therefore I had a boob escape in the middle of the night!

It was soooo good to be back in my own bed though!

The nighties are lovely! I could do with a few of those.

blonde I bought a packet of maternity pads the other day too -was quite shocked at the size and length of the things... Slightly worrying -glamourous days indeed!

Oh the other thing I bought in London, and it even took me into Primark was some ginormous cheap knickers! £2.50 for 5 pairs. Thought they were be much better than disposable knickers. They look like the sort of thing my gran used to wear!

I also bought these pumps which I love!

i just bought cheap cotton granny knickers for my hospital bag, and was so glad I did. They were much more comfy than the disposable ones the hospital gave me immediately after DS delivery.
And yes maternity pads......if i recall I ended up using Kotex Nightime pads. My friend (on her 4th child then) recommended them and I found them as comfy as it's possible to be with something the size of a brick sitting in your knickers.

I may have to treat myself to that dress too dor because I have a thing about green.

I think yesterday's meltdown may have been indicative of impending head cold. Woke up this morning feeling rough....it's eased up now, after two paracetamol, but I'm definitely ailing proper rather than just good old pregnancy tiredness.
This morning I've finally taken up the hem on the back door curtain, and this afternoon I think I will sit at the table and chop the stuff ready for making mincemeat and then get on with making the advet calendar. Yep....I decided I'd make a spectacular one this year.....and now am beginning to regret it.
