I missed kicks and bumps? Keep that's amazing :) it's lovely :):)

Sparks, so you have R all to yourself?? Ooh enjoy not sharing his snuggles!

Sweetie I not have isofix but do have a good car seat base in my car, but if you do decide to get a bigger one you will quite quickly get used to parking it. I would love one with sliding doors, its on my shopping list for my next one when I win the lottery

Right off to find a little dress for my little lady, just to keep her cool in the weather of course, not because it's too cute :)

Keep I am still really excited about your kicks. I think it is so fascinating. I need to check in my notes on my placenta as i haven't been told its position at least i can be prepared if I am not going to be feeling anything for ages yet. I would be pushing for a UK scan too, you should be given one to get you in the system surely.
We are also in packing mode chaos my DM came around the other day and packed loads up for us. So we just have millions of boxes now waiting to be taken to the new house. Plus another million boxes down at a storage unit waiting to go to the new house. DH says he is going to hire a van this weekend to get everything shifted, but then in the next breathe said it would be nice to go to the coast if the weather says warm. Can not do both can we!!!

Sparks hope you get on well today, it must be a big step when DH goes back to work. I know I am already dreading that day and it is way off for me yet. Is there anything you don't know about the Filofax now??? When we move we are getting Sky TV so I am going to start recording series of stuff as soon as I can.

Boo I think we need some more photos of the lovely K, never can have enough pics of cute babies in little summer outfits. Sparks that photo of Twinks on FB was AMAZ-CUTE yesterday. He is so dreamy.

Well test driving small buses with sliding door went much better than I expected yesterday. They didn't feel as big as I expected when we were actually in them. It is the boot space that is driving the decision really as the buggy we want is 105cms across when folded. The Mazda bus had the bigger boot so I think this will be the one we go for, although the Ford bus is similar to DHs car so the inside would be just the same. DH is going to research is more as we have time to decide. I want to keep my Fiat for as look as possible as it is soft top so I am enjoying having the roof down in this weather. I think this is the first year where I have really benefitted from it. I would think we will make that swap about September when Summer has left us.

Hope everyone is ok and not getting too hot and bothered.

Hi just a very quick one from as I had another scan this morning, I'm very relieved to say the little one has doubled in size since last week and seems to be doing ok. Will be back later to catch up properly....

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 15/07/2013 15:03

Yay for sunbeam :):):)

Solars so pleased that little sunbeam is coming along so well. I bet you have a huge grin > Grin Grin Grin
Over on the ttc there is mention of battenberg and pork pies. Under normal circumstances i am not a big fan of either. But now all I can think of is getting some. I have had this a couple of times recently. I went to have a word with a colleague who was eating cheese dorities. I had to go buy some from the vending machine and a multi pack when I was in ASDA, again not usually a big fan. I am not craving them until I see something or someone mentions something. Is this just me ?

cartoontrickster · 15/07/2013 17:59

ooo cravings sweetie what an exciting symptom! not felt like munching on anything too strange yet then.
solars thats wonderful news I hope that's helped relax you for a day or two at least. brooking that time starts to fly by for you now.
sparks hope your first day without dh went well.
I think dh just wants a new car tbh. we've had ours just over a year so don't really need it and I doubt we could afford it. I think he's using the ISO fix thing as an excuse Grin
nothing to report here. I am officially too hot, I love this weather but for some reason at the moment I just can't sit out in it.
i allowed a slightly deprived dh a shag yesterday and he gave me a love bite!Angry Blush

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 15/07/2013 18:11

Ooh unfortunate strike through fail there Trix Grin

Sparks how was your first mummy/baby day? Hopefully you're still taking is easy?!?

Just been to collect our ebay carry cots and I have to post to tell you lot before I have a meltdown. The woman we collected from, who seemed lovely btw, had twins of 9 pounds and 7.5 pounds when born at 37 weeks. OMFG. I am terrified now. Off to lay down in a very dark room.

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 15/07/2013 20:42

I'm sure that's an exceptional case :)

Delighted to hear little sunbeam is flourishing solars

sweetie your duo will be perfectly formed and petite and just be sneezed out at the perfect time. Worry not.

I am not broody....I am not broody.........

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 15/07/2013 22:11

Munx, I am lol. But even if I wanted one right now, ds2 is still bf'ing 3 times a day, sometimes 4 so no hope of AF returning yet.

SweetieTime · 16/07/2013 07:55

You guys can borrow one of mine until they are about 5 I am not greedy. I could work out a timeshare arrangement if you like.

Solars · 16/07/2013 09:31

Thank you ladies, I am indeed feeling a little more relaxed about things. the scare about those 2 ladies last week really got to me It's great to see the blob growing every week but the scanners at ARGC are really quite old and not too clear. Next week I am having 2 scans the one at ARGC and then the Harmony test with a viability scan at FMC, so hoping to get a better look at the blob then.

Sweetie did that lady have a natural birth or was it a caesarian with those 2 whoppers? Yours of course will cause you no problems.

Trix is the love bite for all to see? Blush

Keep how are you doing? I hope you have loads more kicks to report!

Munx are you going for number 3 now perhaps??

Sparks how are you doing?

cartoontrickster · 16/07/2013 11:18

oh yes! right on the neck. its faded a lot now thank god. I put a touch of make up on it yesterday not that it did much good. no ones said anything luckily!

Sparks sorry you are finding these first days tough. I don't think the heat helps anyone sleep. I am sure your hormones are all over the place too. Just take things hour by hour and be kind to yourself. This is the most massive change you will ever go through in your life. Look at little Twinks, you did that. You and MrS created that whole little person. How amazing are you? Try not to be down. I am sure you are doing a fantastic job.

I am sure every new Mum feels the same when their extra pair of hands go back to work.

Solars · 16/07/2013 16:52

Sparks I am sending you lots of brooking vibes and big hugs. As Sweetie said take it hour by hour, you're doing really well so hang on in there x

Munxx · 16/07/2013 20:51

sparks you are doing amazingly. The first months with your new baby are intense, they don't call it the fourth trimester for nothing! Big hugs and much brooking.
