Welcome to our new home! :)

I wish I could go home right now. Got half an hour or so to go.

My sister and I are off to an NCT sale tonight which should be fun!

I had my 20 week scan this morning. It was great all is well, little one was very active. Not found out what flavour it is.
And the midwife was quite happy that I've declined any further hospital care, unless my Community Midwife suggests it in the next four months.

That's fantastic news queenie! 20 weeks eh?! I'm rewound glad you can stay under the midwife's care too :)

really, not rewound!

I have caved and jammied up on the bottom half. Soooo comfy!

Morning all PESHlas! How you all doing? What are we up to today? I've got my flu jab this morning and then I'm getting my hair done :) think I might head into town, possibly buy some nice maternity underwear!

Hello Faith and other PESHs, it's a beautiful morning but I am still in bed reading the paper. Yesterday felt very last-day-at-workish so now I feel like I'm on maternity leave even though I still have to go in on Monday. I've cleared my desk and put my Out of Office on though so it should be mostly a case of doing the final bits of training with my replacement.

I had forgotten about the flu jab until the other day when I went to pick up a prescription, now all the stuff has come out about the wh cough jab, not sure if I should wait till hospital appt on Thurs or call someone sooner. I'll be 35+2 by then. Rather a worry that this has suddenly come up. I had wh cough as a baby due to being born at the time of the big wc vaccine scare.

In other news TBI made me a somewhat undercooked poached egg for breakfast (not just runny, actually bleugh) which I ate to be polite because I was such a bitch last week. Silly blonder.

Ah, you should be fine blonde as long as it was lion stamped? Lie in sounds luffly. Whoop whoop mat leave time! Do you have nice things planned? Last bits to get?

I didn't get my flu jab - she didn't think it safe with me being on antibiotics so going back Wednesday. Hair is done and pretty though. I've popped to see my granny in the nursing home before going into town (it's near the hairdressers). She's fast asleep though so I'll leave her in peace. She has Dementia. I'd say she's pretty end stage. It's very sad and I really struggle with it :( home staff are luffly though and she is well looked after.

Off to meet my mate for coffee. Well, mine will be hot chocolate!

Haha yes last bits to get - also quite a lot of intermediate bits and a few first bits too. Looking forward to having the time to focus on it though.

Sorry about your grandmother Faith, mine had Alzheimer's and died in 2003. It was a terribly painful time and you have my sympathy. Dementia is such a cruel thing and I don't think my family has ever been the same since. Wish she and my grandad were here to see this little one, I hope they'd be pleased to know their house (where TBI and I now live) will see in the next generation.

Have a lovely day and enjoy your hot choc, have a sip for me too.

Afternoon PESHes. We had a busy morning of visiting the building site house and then going and doing some wallpaper/paint/house stuff window shopping. We went to the local tearooms for lunch and had to go to the pub instead. It wasn't as nice as the tearooms would have been.

Now I am completely knackered. I had to have a 15 minute power nap before managing to get up and get on with trying to make a curry.

I have masses and masses of ironing to do tonight too :(

Oh I am knackered too dor! I went to meet my friend. Twad luffly but exhausting! Just got in so been out for 7 hours! Friend knew of our TTC woes so I told her I was diffed :) how is the curry coming along?

I got measured in Debenhams and despite only being 10 weeks and not gaining any weight I an already a back size and cup size up! Got a couple of quite plain but functional (and slightly less ugly than sports bras) bras! I also got a fluffy Gilet in the size up which is gorgeous.
Now crashed out watching Grease.

How nice that you're in your grandparents' house blonder! Yes it's sad that that generation won't know our children :( My Grandma will might turn 92 in November. I very much doubt she will live to see our baybee and she won't really understand even if she does. On a weird but amusing note, one of the carers commented that I'd lost weight! Not for long!

Yay for the happy 20wk scan Rollo! Even though you decided not to find out, do you have any inklings about the gender?

Ironing, Dor?! Should be outlawed.

I have loads of work I need to be doing right now but have spent the last few hours propped up on the sofa watching Grease and eating chocolate. Grublet is doing happy dances inside my belly.

Question re. flu jabs (not the whooping ones, just regular old flu jabs) - do I need to reach a certain point in my pregnancy before having one? I'm booked to get one on the 9th when I'll be 22+3 - is that safe?

Ha! Just realised that you're also watching Grease Faife! I've been singing along...

I realised I pretty much know all the dialogue too Fun but in retrospect what a terrible message! Change yourself for a man to luff you...

I will place my money on girl for queenie. Lots of ESH boys lately!

lors I am pretty certain it's safe throughout pregnancy but I would just check when you book in.

Sooo......'Mumsnet Guide to Pregnancy' and 'What to Expect When You're Up the Duff' arrived today. They are currently living in the shadowy world under the stairs so as not to jinx bean before scan on Tuesday. Eee.

I have been dipping into What to expect and the what to expect app. Will not buy anything (but the bras which were desperately needed). Only 18 days til my scan now!

I think you can have a flu jab at any point. I will definitely be getting one if it is offered.

Yes here you go Tis fine as long as you don't have a UTI!

I shouldn't have done it but I couldn't help myself. Will rip off packaging the second home from hospital, providing all is well. If not, I guess they can hang around under there in hope!

Well my copies are sat by the bed. They have advice on the early stages of pregnancy week by week which have helped is this far. I won't buy stuff for the baybee because it would be too sad to then not get to use it but really, it's not actually going to affect the pregnancy is it?! Buying books etc! (I am trying to keep any horrid thoughts of MMC at bay). When I get my scan there will be a wriggly baybee waving at us. There will! :)

I feel like it's a girl. Trying so hard not get set in that mindset, but I felt DS was blue right from the beginning.

So what you're saying faith is that I wouldn't be risking the wrath of the capricious fertility gods were I to sneak a peek at the little book stash?

My sister was so convinced DNephew was blue we'd have been gobsmacked if he came out pink! I still have no idea what I'm carrying

ftw, Honestly, I don't think you will. I really think its out of our hands unless you get plastered, smoke loads, do crack or eat all the wrong things I guess

I started the ironing but my back hurts too much tonight! Fortunately I have an appointment with the physio on Wednesday and I hope she will be able to help :)

Haha! Oh faith that made me laugh so hard I have a stitch to add to all the all the other twinges and pings going on in there! And you're right of course :)
