The spring grads are settled in, now BROOKING NO ARGUMENT for new summer grads and quick sneeze births!

[EverythingIsTicketyBoo]

One last thread from me, Sparks hope you're ready, you're sneezing on this one :):):)

Hello everyone.

I got my BFP this morning. I'm in complete shock. I'm 3-4 weeks. Can't believe it.

Come in, sit down Penguin :) we're all here for support! Brooking is good isn't it :):)

its getting quite busy here is it!
keep are you enjoying being back home? cold enough for you?

Ooh, getting full in here,

Trix how many weeks are you now? What's next with scans, drips etc?

Keep how are you settling back into blighty? Hope you're ok.

Sweetie what date is your 20 week scan? Any more kicks to report?

Sparks tell us more about R, can't get enough of him

Maybe how many sticks have you pee'd on I did at least 1 every day for 2 weeks

OOH penguin congratulations; that's fantastic news! Grab a pew.

We are having a bit of a hard time finding a decent place to rent. DH keeps getting distracted by places to buy, far things are grotty and/or small and/or on a busy road. Hope to just decide on monday and go with that. Hey, at least it's lovely and cool... My sister gave me some maternity clothes and I'm wearing the jeans today. OK, they are super comfy! No going back now :)

Aah the bliss of maternity clothes :) I started wearing them at 10 weeks Hope you find somewhere decent soon.

I'm 15wks today and have my mat jeans on today. I have a scan and drip on 14th Aug. it will be my last drip.
boo you can't leave us!

Don't you dare leave Boo

Hello Penguin!!

Boo I haven't peed on any since OTD! I figured it would make things worse if I'm honest.

Keep sorry you're struggling to find a nice place. I'm sure you'll get there.

My tummy is so massive. I was wearing my jeans but by 4 they had to come off!! I'm just so full of wind it's going to become quite uncomfortable sitting at a desk all day from Monday where it's not ok to let rip as and when

What has everyone been up to? Today we have bought a 'family' car and have been to look at prams .

When will it stop being so muggy?!

And Trix that's great news about the last drip!

where's solars? I've heard she needs a congratulations smacker on the cheek too?
that's made my evening!

Ninja my lovely!!!! How are you?!

What 'family' car have you gone for maybe? I remember finding pram shopping incredibly stressful and breaking down at dp wailing 'they all do the same thing but differently, how am I supposed to know what we need!' Enjoy the irrational hormones! I was really bloated when pregnant with M, have you gone for the hairband through the buttonhole for extra comfort yet?
I'm off to catch up with the thread and see who I recognise on here

Ninja have you gone for the hairband through the buttonhole for extra comfort yet? What does this mean?

maybe I'm the same. No matter what I eat I feel so bloated and crap. It's awful. Didn't have this the last time.

I was out tonight (I drove) for my uncles birthday. We went to cosmos. It was delish but even my very small amount of food was way too much and I'm suffering now. Any one any advice on how to avoid this?

Hope everyone is keeping well. Off to bed. I'm shattered.

We went for an Audi A4 estate Ninja. Need to fit the loch in the boot now, with a pram. I found pram shopping a bit strange. I felt like a fraud!! But the girl was lovely. We're getting an Icandy peach. It's love at first sight

The lovely Sparks told me about the hair band through the button hole. I think I will be trying it!!

I fear the nausea is starting. I felt horrific last night, and since I got up for another wee, I now feel too sick to fall asleep again. But I'm not complaining

Penguin, have you tried some peppermint tea? It settled me a bit. But I have no idea what to do about the bloat! It's mental!!

Penguin the hair band thing is for when your trousers get little snug, you pop a hair band through the button hole and over the button to give you some breathing room.

Yay for symptoms Maybe and how organised are you? Took me ages to choose a pram

Good to see you Ninja how are you? Please do stay and post more often :)

Trix 15 weeks that has gone fast (for me it has probably felt like 100 years to you) and yay for the last drip coming up too. Are you and DH getting excited now?

Right, K's breakfast is done off to sort out toddly and me (DH at work again :( ) I think teen's breakfast will be more of brunch

Maybe I had an icandy apple for ds. I love it. It's like a tank you can take it everywhere.

I also had a double pram but just sold it. I would love an icandy double. However I'm not sure that will happen. Has anyone any other recommendations for double prams?

Oh and boo thanks for the info. Think I may need to do this. Last night I had to undo my trouser button and walk around like that :) it felt so good to undo it.

wow maybe aren't you organised!
boo it has felt kinda long. 12 - 20wks is an absolute age! so I'm focusing on getting to 16wks. then 16 - 20wks. bit jealous of teen b's lie in! but then I have only just got in the bath.
we've been looking online this morning at bits and pieces. I'd love to have a sneaky peak in a real life shop but dh isnt ready yet.
there always seems to be a lot of love for icandy prams around mn! I like a more traditional looking pram. why do most prams have 3 wheels! but then I do think the more funky patterned ones im loving some of the cossattos but where's the fourth wheel! if I had the money though I'd totally get a silver cross balmoral. the elegance is nice too.

Oh god, maybe is more prepared than me.....

I'm loving the cool weather! Good old English summer :)

It's only cos it's taken nearly three years to get here, and a lot of people we know have had baby's, so you get to know prams!!

Trix the Icandy that we want has 4 wheels.

Glad you're enjoying the weather Keep It's still very muggy down south

penguin the hairband trick is a good one to know. esp if you are sitting at work and it get uncomfy
maybe we have an old BMW estate, it's like driving around in your lounge. and you can fit soooo much in it.
must dash, my cup of tea is getting cold

oh and we have a bugaboo chameleon, it's great.

I am so excited for you all!

Like Boo said, hopefully you don't mind me hanging around!

Penguin I have a nipper 360, I have a relatively small age gap between my DC and I love it. However I do use a sling a lot as well when I only have DS (he is 10.5 months).

don't get me started on slings! I have 4. actually no I have 5 but one has never been used. of the 4 I use I have 2 ring slings, a Mei tai and a toddler ssc. may trade in the toddler one for a dif make as I want a better fit. love love love my ring slings though.

I'm quite intrigued by slings. Discuss
