Sorry for the not very imaginative title. Noticed old thread was full and couldn't find a new one.

berri that must have been so worrying for you. Hope things go/have gone ok at your scan today x

Thank you thank you thank you to those of you that went on about mini cheddars. I love them anyway but had forgotten about them. I sent DP out this morning and lots have come back. I've eaten my packet, half of DC2's packet on the sly and all of DC1's with her consent. I'm in heaven Grin.

Starting to feel a little better I think. I had an awful nights sleep what with ill children, snoring partners and general insomnia. That would usually signal a really nauseous and horrible day right from the start for me. So far so good though (of course that can easily change but here's hoping!). Its probably due to mini cheddars but thought I'd mention it to give some hope for those of you still really suffering. Its not long now until we bloom. Honest!

terror hurrah for the mini cheddar! Glad you're feeling OK. Can't wait to bloom!

oof I have had food poisoning! am better today but my whole body aches so am resting up. bleugh, poor baby having me blaming my sickness on it!

don't know whether to bother ooh dr or not but think pg just fine.

gosh i feel my age today, this has utterly wiped me out! poor DS had it too but luckily not much at all and is bouncing off the walls like a caged puppy today.

good luck berri

don't worry little, we'll all be fine soon :)

Picklep · 20/10/2012 12:12

I've gone right off all my usual teas, and I've been missing a hot drink. I've rediscovered hot ribena! It's been great and very comforting for these cold, wet afternoons.

Picklep · 20/10/2012 12:14

Feel better soon wilde , if you still feel rough you could call Doc if only for a bit of reassurance.

LittleBairn · 20/10/2012 12:51

Shock Jeez I think DH might be a bit TOO keen about starting a family! He just started to talk about DC2 and that we should ideally start planning that one quite early ideally before DC1 is a year old...
Let me get through the first trimester of my first pregnacy first love!

Terror welcome to the mini cheddar club beware its an expensive habit. Grin

LittleBairn · 20/10/2012 12:54

picklep oh well done reminding me hot ribenna I love it, the kids often ask for a hot toddy. I had to reassure their parents I wasn't getting them mad on whiskey just black currants and sugar. Grin

TerrorCottaPumpkinPie · 20/10/2012 13:04

Oh yes pickle hot ribena! I love that too Grin. Are you now my food guru? Everything you eat tell me about and maybe I will suddenly have more than cheese and cucumber and salad cream sandwiches, lightly salted kettle chips and lemon swirl cheesecake (And mini cheddars).

We don't have any ribena though.

LittleB that's forward planning for you! I know DP and and I looked over our newborn's head at each other when he was born and decided we'd be having another fairly soon, but we werent quite as organised as the first trimester for that decision! It's very sweet though :)

LittleBairn · 20/10/2012 13:27

terror TBF I was thinking we would have another one soon after the first due to DH being much older than me but DH was all for setting a date and knowing him he would hold me to it!
But yes it is quite sweet that he's excited about this new phase in his life. In fact I'm amazed at just how supportive he is about my plans and decisions regarding the pregnacy, birth and raising children. He has so much faith in my decisions that I really feel so much closer too him.

10 your DH does your DH do what mine does, stand behind me grinning like a loon going " ooooh that nice and healthy and sign...." yes thank Hmm

Shock that must have been a shock when you realised what had happened. My DH is obessed over locking the doors but I'm really lazy about it. Glad your all safe.

Another Saturday night in, in front of strictly without even a glass of Wine ...
How things have changed!

berri · 20/10/2012 19:11

12 week scan all good!

10 that's scary, at least they know you have a dog now and will be unlikely to try again. Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far :)

Picklep · 20/10/2012 19:13

berri CONGRATULATIONS!!! Such lovely news, well done you!!

peardrop2 · 20/10/2012 19:37

Yay berri :-)

OMG 10 that is my one of my worst nightmares :-( Such a relief that your little doggy scared it away!! Maybe I need to get a dog!! I hate that kind of thing as is leaves you with shivers down the spine! I keep telling DH that we need a better PVC back door as the wooden one we have is really weak and unsturdy :-( it will cost us £900 to replace though which is not fun!!

peardrop2 · 20/10/2012 19:38

Oh berri forgot to ask. Can they tell if all the bits and pieces organs are in the right place yet? Did they measure the neck or are you opting out of that one?

beaver33 · 20/10/2012 19:43

berri so happy for you - lovely news! Woop! Did they adjust your dates?

10 that's terrifying! Glad you're all ok and your training kicked in. I was at home one Monday when burglars slipped the lock and I ran at them, still in my PJs, screaming like a banshee. That certainly scared them (well, that or my make-up free face). I'm not like that at all, but some instinct took over. Shook like a leaf after, though.

wilde sorry about your food poisoning. Do you know what caused it? Hope you're feeling better.

And roast I am SO with you. It's wet out there, I've just left work and I am inhabiting my sofa passionately for the rest of the night. PJs and slipper sorted.

GUESS WHAT?? My scan's on MONDAY - yay!

peardrop2 · 20/10/2012 19:55

beavel very Envy of your scan...bet you can't wait!!! In 4 hrs I'll have 7 months to go...has been the longest 2 months ever!!

Kittykatmacbill · 20/10/2012 20:05

berri that is great! Very jealous... Dh keeps counting down the days to ours (16 days). Did you get your date about right?

LittleBairn · 20/10/2012 20:23

berri wonderful news!

Ellypoo · 20/10/2012 20:26

Fab news berri!

I would've been so scared 10, how good that your little dog scared them away!!

5 days til scan for me, really scared - some pains today, hopefully just ligaments as I was ok lying down at home - just come to get Chinese and I hurt - could be my tracky bottoms just digging in I hope!

Picklep · 20/10/2012 20:47

Anyone experiencing lower rib ache??? Experiencing my first ever heartburn....not fun at all!

LittleBairn · 20/10/2012 21:10

pickle milk, ice cream or yogurt will help.
