Congratulations kissy! Good luck blue!

Hope stunt doing ok?

Hugs detective. Enjoy twilight! Im doing better keeping up with my usual dec lot and the nov thread - weve had a sobbing sofa for a long time but have tonight installed a fuming futon which is getting fuller by the minute. Mostly about hospitals and DHs.

Looks like I'm not going to twilight tonight [sulks]

Kitkat1 honestly dh didn?t know what he said! Silly man! Thankfully this morning I'm high on happy baby snuggle hormones.

fatima no cinema? oh no! you have been looking forward to it for months!

detective don't doubt yourself, you know you have made the right decisions for yourself. chin up and good luck.

lovely to hear of new babies arriving, and to see photos too. also good luck to stunt and everyone with favourable tightenings :)

Congrats kissy - beautiful name, can't wait to see a photo!

Good luck to those with imminent births and congrats to anyone I've missed.

Had a busy busy day. Potentially had my last tutoring session with my favourite client tonight. I've pencilled them in for next week but hoping I won't make it!

MIL has taken to asking me on a daily basis if I have any pains/twinges/signs of imminent arrival. BIL even messaged me last night to ask if I was 'still pregnant'. Beginning to grind a little, we still have 2 weeks till I'm even due! Arghh!

DP phoned me in a panic when I got to work tonight, he's worried I'm "even more ditsy than normal". My crime - I left the carport light on. This was intentional, as it's always dark when i get back and it makes it easier to drive in without hitting anything.

Georgee your story about you're friend's DH taking up a messy hobby playing with engines in the house made me laugh. When I was a student I lived with a Norwegian paintballer. I'd not long been seeing DP when I came back to my flat one day after teaching placement to find the pair of them had stripped the landrover's engine and filled my dishwasher and shower with paintball guns and engine parts. Judging by the mess they'd had a game of paintball in the flat as well. Needless to say I handled it in my usual non-control freak style (hahaha....) DP now has a dishwasher in our garage specifically for engine parts and 'things MissMummy1 wouldn't allow in the kitchen dishwasher'

Thanks for the replies - slightly concerned you'd all be freaked out with random non pregnant poster!!
I was induced 6 days early due to too much fluid and Sky high BP, had him 4 days early after pessary in - contractions thick and fast, pessary out - faff all for 30 bleeding hours! In the end had the drip and v painful (sorry) but got my epidural at 7cm and all good

mm1 your dp!? you just gotta laugh!

Pasties He's much slightly better trained now!

Iheart - haha, good stuff and I like the sound of happy hormones

Congratulations Kissyfur - what another lovely name

MM very impressed by your two dishwashers arrangement. Your story in turn reminded me of my friend whose auntie who cleans the toilet brush by putting it in the dishwasher every few weeks ... can you imagine?!

Hurrah kissy for your lovely new baby, well done indeed. Sorry you're sore (I remember the post CS feeling well!).

Glad you're still with us pasties, don't go yet!

Boo to no cinema Fatima, poor you. Hope you do get to go before the little one arrives.

Off to bed now. Baby is hiccuping and what feels like scrabbling around my lower abdomen with its hands so I'm not sure how much rest I'll get. Sounds like we'll have a crop of news in the morning judging by shows and tightenings today, v exciting!

Oh heck georgee that's disgusting!! I can't even wash the dog's bowls in ours without putting it through an empty 'intense wash' cycle afterwards!

Mild period pain and back ache, the latter most likely from sitting on the bypass in rush hour tonight. Regardless, should I get my hopes up? thought not

AGHHHHHHHH to loo brush in the dishwasher.

YAY to the document Comrade and fc mortgage goes through. Thanks for the luck, but I expect I'll still be here in December ...

Warning self-centered moan alert!

I'm bloody knackered and I'm fed up of not being able to sleep at a normal time.
I'm sat on the sofa watching TV again after trying to sleep from 9pm.
Feel like I'm coming down with a cold, as does DH so I'm feeling extra sorry for myself. DH also has a cough to add to his heavy breathing and snoring.
I just want to go to bed and sleep like a normal person instead of lying there awake and getting over tired.
I kind of want DH to wake up and sympathise me but he can sleep through anything.
Feeling so fed up and frustrated I could cry

I know I'm just being stupid because I'll get some sleep at some point. Just don't want this baby turning up when I'm already knackered but then again I'm so fed up of being pregnant and not sleeping I just want it out.

Sorry for the moan, i'm sure i'll be fine again tomorrow [yawn]

(((hugs))) Fatima - I completely sympathise on the sleep front. I feel so sick all the time, it's impossible to sleep. It's worse when I lie down, and I can't sleep sitting up. I haven't slept properly for weeks. Is it wrong I'm looking forward to having a baby, in the hope I can maybe get, say, an hour's kip every day? Sod's law I'll have an insomniac...

I know what you mean, I can't wait to be able to just flop in to bed and get comfy without my bump being in the way or my hips hurting, even if it's just for an hour's kip.
I want some cereal, don't want to move from the sofa though as i'm comfy for a change

Thanks for the hugs

it's so tough when you cant sleep.

Another miserable non sleeper here. Who will also probably still be here in December.

Congrats kissy and good luck stunt and tink

detective I would have completely lost the plot at DP if he'd done that. Hope today is better.

I absol know what you mean fatima . I can usually get to sleep but after that I can be awake hours and turning over is bloody painful. I tend to go back to sleep about an hour before the kids wake up At least with a newborn you tend to zonk out between feeds. Staring at the ceiling is driving me mad!

Also his size is freaking me out. He is under my ribs and in my pelvis all at the same time. My back and ligaments ache by the end of the day. Not even 40 weeks yet so could be here in december.

Sorry me me me post. Need some good news from stunt and blue.

I'm the same brockle I have same due date as you and I'm I bits about thinking I'm going to have a 11lb baby in dec.

Feel like you, me and fatima need some amazing breakkie to perk us up...

((Hugs)) for Fatima I know exactly how you feel. I went to bed at 11.30pm last night, got to sleep about 12. Have blocked nose, continuous headache and my fanjo feels like its being ripped open by the bloke out of the SAW films.

Woke up at 2 for a wee, didnt get back to sleep til 6.30!! cue alarm clock at 7.15 Would love to go back to bed but have consultant and scan at 9.30. Bloody typical!

Has anyone elses wrists/hands/feet swollen up so much they've had to take jewellery off??

I'm still ill and have DSS1 with me all day. DSS1 is not ill but because he was sick yesterday he can't go to school. He's pretty independent so it's not as though he needs much. Frankly the way I'm feeling I think it's high time he learned how to use the kettle [irresponsible stepmother emoticon]

Had a bit of a cry on DH last night over missing my lingerie and heels. For about six years prior to this pregnancy my underwear always matched, I wore stockings and never tights and was comfortable in very high heels. I used to cook in a negligee, these days I get him up in the night because I've been sick all over the bathroom and can't manage it myself. He is adamant that women have a choice about life post-baby and that I will get back to who I was (if I want to) but that he loves me as I am. Which was nice but I still miss wearing pretty shoes [throws toys out of pram emoticon]

pikz muesli just didn't cut it so I am being taken out for a gingerbread latte by my parents! Nice to know I am not the only one worrying
