Welcome home! evil and naughtynick (appropriate for a child of evil perhaps? Grin )

Titsalinabumsquash · 07/10/2012 19:18

Woo!

Congratulations Chick

Lovely to hear from Daisy

And welcome home mama evil

I wish this little guy would consider arriving a wee bit early! Grin

blonderthanred · 07/10/2012 19:19

Welcome home Evil and congratulations Chick! Hope all ok and look forward to hearing more when you are feeling up to it.

Catbag · 07/10/2012 19:27

Evil Yay! Massive congratulations! Wrt breastfeeding- I can echo what someone else said further up ( can't remember who, sorry :( ). My youngest used to find breastfeeding v. tiring and fall asleep after a couple of minutes of feeding. I used to have to sit her up and wind her vigorously or change her nappy half way through just so she got a decent feed in one go. Otherwise she'd fall asleep for 20 mins and then demand feeding again. I'm so glad you're home. Love to see some pics when you're up to it :)

chick Wow! Congratulations to you too! You do sound rather shocked, lol. Hope you lose the 'hit by a truck' feeling soon and again, we'd love to see pics and have details when you're ready :)

Can't believe my babies are hanging on so long. I am so past being ready for them, I can't even begin to express it. I've stretched beyond what I thought I was capable of, and frankly the (TMI ALERT) piles that I have are making me utterly miserable. I have been fastidious in their treatment and have been having daily salt baths to try and help, but I think the pressure from above means there's no way they are going down until the babies are out.

DH has caught Freshers' Flu and very kindly passed it on to me, so I really do feel crappy regardless of pregnancy symptoms. Been worrying that the nasty cough that DH has (which can be characterised thusly: cough cough cough COUGH COUGH HACK retch, occasionally sick) means that if they were born now and had to go into SCBU that he would not be allowed to visit them. Although I guess I'm 35 weeks tomorrow, so the likelihood of a SCBU stay is decreasing daily.

Starting to think I will be pregnant forever. DH keeps laughing at me (inbetween coughing fits), pointing out that it's biologically improbable. I scowl. It does feel like it is possible right now :/

DesperateHousewife21 · 07/10/2012 19:39

Wow chick hope you are both doing well, look forward to hearing details. Can't believe how early some of these babies are turning up! I'd like mine to stay in for at least 3 weeks I'm def not ready!

horseylady · 07/10/2012 19:43

Worked all weekend flat out. Am shattered now!!!

Congrats chick too!! Glad you're home evil, hope your son continues to improve daisy!!

Dh made African eggs for tea!! Were quite nice!! He's trying to find as many quick meals as possible!! He's also counting down the days till the baby can eat meat lol having just added more lamb to the freezer (and a wife who doesn't like meat!!)

Last week at work this week!! Also having lots of bh too!! Still got a while to go yet though!!

My cousin has just given me loads and loads of clothes etc for the little man!!! We had some cake and arranged lots of coffee mornings!!

Catbag · 07/10/2012 19:46

What are African eggs, Horsey?

horseylady · 07/10/2012 19:54

Some gordon Ramsey recipie!! Tomatoes, peppers, onion, garlic, chilli and the eggs sort of poached/fried in them. They were tasty actually!!

YellowWellies · 07/10/2012 19:59

I was wondering that too - sounds yum - a bit like huevos rancheros

Catbag · 07/10/2012 19:59

Ooo Horsey, that sounds amazing. May have to have a Google...

Evilwater · 07/10/2012 20:00

The chick, congrats.

It's not, being hit by a truck. It's like being hit by a load loader full of massive HGVs.

Evil

horseylady · 07/10/2012 20:01

Yeah do!!! North African eggs they were good, took 20minutes including prep. Worth trying them.

kissyfur · 07/10/2012 20:04

Wow congratulations thechick! Hope you and baby are both doing well. You were due the same day as me! Think I'd best get my hospital bag packed too!

Good to hear from you daisy hope your baby boys are home with you soon

Welcome home evil and baby Nicholas Grin

I'm 34 weeks tomorrow and really feeling it now too. Had some horrid stretching pains on the bump today too

kirrinIsland · 07/10/2012 20:08

Welcome home evil

Can someone tell me how to join the facebook group please? I need to see photos!

TheDetective · 07/10/2012 20:11

This baby is going crazy! It just pushed my belly button out, when my belly button isn't close to popping out!! Shock

I'm watching a birth pool on eBay with 2 bids on it, its at £1.04. Wish me luck!

TheDetective · 07/10/2012 20:11

It has 10 minutes left!

ValiumQueen · 07/10/2012 20:15

I have looked for evils photos on FB and cannot see them.

StuntNun · 07/10/2012 20:18

VQ only DH21 can see them because she's FB friends with Evil (to get her into the Nov 12 group).

blonderthanred · 07/10/2012 20:19

Ooh good luck Detective, I'm watching something on Ebay too, 3 mins to go!

StuntNun · 07/10/2012 20:20

Kirrin just PM DH21 with your real name and a description of your FB profile picture so she can add you to the group.

ValiumQueen · 07/10/2012 20:21

StuntNun · 07/10/2012 20:21

Thanks stunt I thought perhaps she had blocked me Grin

pikz · 07/10/2012 20:22

Congrats the chick! This all becoming very real now!

Lots of BH for me. Hoping I a least hold on for a couple more weeks, which I should do 34 weeks this Tuesday.

Hope home is all good Evil.

ValiumQueen · 07/10/2012 20:22
