Thread three... Rock and Roll......

MrsGSR thanks, and yep, the Pringles were soo good! Not a breakfast person anyway, so no for me on the Cheerios front. Which is a shame as I really should eat breakfast! No freaky dreams for me yet which is great as I used to get them all the time anyway, loving having a full nights sleep at the moment :-)

sultana hope you enjoy the sun, I'm stuck in sorting out the pit that is my flat. Hope you can take your mind off things, even if for just a little while. Fx for you Hun xx

Went to my first hospital appointment today, and have been told I will need to been seen every month. I guess it is what comes of having a knackered thyroid. The only good thing that came out of the 2 hour stay due to doctors not turning up is that the plebotamist got my vein straight away and didn't come out looking like a heroin addict!

MrsG and choco fx for scans today!

salty food OMG yes. I have a bag of S&V squares open as I'm writing. My workmates are used to me snacking a lot though so they're not suss, I hope. I am always a salt fiend though (low bp) so I don't think it's to do with the sex [of the baby, for clarity].

I don't mind slogans - bought a friend a red and gold bib saying 'Some fool has tied my cape on backwards', I thought it was . Naff ones though, like 'Daddy's Little X' are nauseating.

Also love the gruffalo even though this is my first. It's so beautifully illustrated!

Mac my DH did the same - didn't text/call to say he wasn't coming home until late either. Luckily he knows to sleep in the spare room without being told. I ignored him this morning a LOT. Pointedly.

Toby I am massively bloated and don't have fibroids I don't think so you're not alone. I am mainlining S&V pringles though, might have something to do with it...Ritz crackers also MMMMMmmmmmmm.

newbies hello!

Been using the sea-bands for the last two days, not sure they do much, but psychologically it's nice to feel I'm not as helpless in the face of the nausea waves.

sultana fx everything is fine - I'm sure it will be lovely. Relax (ha!) if you can.

'Some fool has tied my cape on backwards'

Now that is funny :o Ok. Some slogans are ok. We bought my niece when she was a really fat baby a bib which said 'Salad Dodger'.

That's interesting humpty, my bp tends to be quite low, maybe that's why I'm loving salt!

Yay just got my first midwife app letter through!! Next fri :-) whoop whoop!

Ooh... Good work Laura. I think they just pick dates out of a hat for midwife appointments without really looking at due dates.
Just got excited as realised 12 week scan is 3 weeks today, by this time we will have had it and (FX all being well ) be on our way to visit my parents and tell them about their first grandchild .
Had (or rather didn't have) the most revolting soup for lunch. Should have known really, it was from bastard WF and made by "the really interesting food company " . Cheese spread and oatcakes it is!
Off to my meeting now - "excuse me, lovely receptionist, can you point me in the direction of Mike Hunt?" It's not Mike Hunt btw...
X

Ohh cheese spread yum yum!

-stops housework to go to shops :) -
Great news about your scan MrsAVB, fx it is all ok, am also waiting till my scan before revealing all to everyone, think it will sink in easier with OH if he can see a pic to go with the news, fx it'll be before Father's Day too, although that might be hoping to much ;)

Oh and good luck with your meeting! :)

We saw a teeny tiny heartbeat! measuring a little bit smaller than I thought but I'm not worried as I knew I ovulated late. I managed to change my 12 scan date to so it's been a good day! :)

Brilliant news MrsGSR

Sultanajo hope the sun has brightened you day up a bit.

Chocco hope your scan went well

At work on the phone so not had chance to read through all updates. Hope everyone is well.

Congratulations to all the new ladies with BFPs

MrsGSR that's such good news! Well done you :)

Are you feeling any better yet pea?

Great stuff mrsgsr. Thats fabulous!!!

Well getting out did the trick - popped down to the beach for a walk for half an hour which was blissful, then headed to town which wasnt as fun, but got a new t-shirt and treated myself to a new lip balm (am obsessed with them), so that definitely perked me up! That along with the "salad dodger" & "some fool put my cape on backwards"! Hilarious! That really made me laugh!

Hope u r doing ok at work pod

I've had my scan! All was well :) baby was measuring at 8+5 so a day ahead than I thought I was. Saw a heartbeat. Am just so happy. They spent ages checking everything. Saw a little bit of blood & have told me to try not to worry that its quite normal & should just go but they'll check it next time. Also saw a little cyst on left ovary that they seem to think will go too. Let's hope so hey :) so unless I have any probs I won't have another scan til 12 weeks eeeek! X

Yeay chocco thats so great!!! Bet u r buzzing! X

High five choco!
Such good news :)
Glad your feeling better sultana also high five :)

humpty that bib is brilliant! May be my first baby purchase although trying hard not to buy anything this early!!

Wonderful news choco and MrsGR
Glad to hear your feeling better sultanajo
MrsVDB I made the mistake of going on the mothercare website and going mushy over babygros.

My afternoon has not been blissful. Toddlermouse refused to eat his Bolognese so I ended up after an hour's cajoling eating a plate of cut up spaghetti and he had my cheese on toast. Was too tired to argue the point and he's normally a great eater so I let it go. He's now laying waste to my living room and I'm waiting for him to wear himself out so he'll go to bed early this evening.

laura and sultanajo thank you. I am still pretty grime. Lost 5lbs now and surviving off 5 to 15 baby cold boild potatoes a day. Tried a jacket potatoe last night - bad idea Found a drink I can just about stomach now which is good. Bottle Green Sparkling Elderflower. Happy times. Ha ha ha I hope you are both well.

Has anyone heard how Chocco got on? Have I missed her update?

Aw pod glad u have found a drink u can stomach!!!

Yeah, chocco got on great! Her post is a few posts back....x

Great news choco! I've got my scan next week when I think I'll be 8+3 so let's see if they agree with me on dates. Definitely starting with a bit of nausea now - not bad but this is the second afternoon I've started to feel a bit queasy when my energy levels would normally dip a bit anyway. I'm eating oatckes & houmous at my desk to try & make it go.

Mrs VDB & enormouse I'm really resisting buying anything until after 12 wks & even then I think that DP & I have so many friends & family with babies of various ages that we could well end up not having to buy much practical stuff at all so I'll have money for lovely fun stuff like gruffalo snow suits! We've literally only told a few people & already been offered two carseats, a moses basket & cot sheets!
