Yes and in my super exhausted state Confused I forgot to write "thread 5" in the subject!

Glad you guys found it.

My scan is next Wednesday and the reality that in 6 months time we're having a baby is starting to sink in. Roll on mild panic! Feel some lists coming on!

wonders have I ever eaten pop tarts? - not sure I have

I know one of my friends made pop tarts from scratch... they didn't look quite the same as shop bought ones that was for sure.

Oh god - now I'd like pop tart. But I hate them. How does that work??!!

How is everyone today?

At the start if this thread can we see how far everyone is? I've lost track! Blush

Raspberry #1, 9weeks, 4days. Due date 23rd march

MTBMummy · 22/08/2013 10:00

Found you!

Good luck to Grey, Frank and Rock today, looking forward to seeing some new scan pics

Pram so sorry your DP is being an utter twat - I do hope he manages to pull himself together as much for his own sake but also that of your baby.

Feeling shattered, just as I think my symptoms are letting up, they seem to come back full swing, so I'm treating myself to a large portion of chips covered in salt and vinegar with ketchup for lunch - I need carbs!

Neither do I Raspberry. Still want one though.

MTB My symptoms are coming and going all the time now too. Can't decide if I prefer that or them being constant and predictable!

Beccadugs · 22/08/2013 10:06

I am also in the mad list making phase! Keep looking around the house in utter panic about what needs to be done.

I've been too ill to even manage the laundry, so you can imagine what the house looks like! Have been feelin muscly better recently so might have a crack at a bit of sorting today. Perhaps the best thing is to focus on one area... (Any tips from super efficient Kim and Aggie types greatly appreciated!!)

DH is painting the living room this week, so we can move my desk and teaching resources downstairs to free up "the nursery" - we did have a dining room, but have built a massive extension so dining area in the kitchen means I can have one of the reception rooms as my study/craft/tutoring/library room!!

Pram - I'm really really sorry things went badly with your DH yesterday. No advice but sending lots support!

Becca I have been on strike, everything looked like a bomb site until couple of weeks a go, my DH broke in the end and did some 'tidying up'. I had done the washing but when he 'tidied' the bedroom, I discovered he had been using his side of the bedroom floor as a laundry basket so my lovely empty laundry basket (I had literally emptied that day) was instantly full. After two weeks of ignoring it, I had a sulk, told DH I was sick of doing the washing... I am currently doing the washing now.. such a push over!

My advise, you can live in a messy house but you can't go out naked, well you can but its not as warm as it was a few weeks ago!!

Becca Write a list breaking everything up and tackle one at a time. If you see anything else while you're going on, don't let it distract you, just add it to your list. Have lots of breaks!

MTBMummy · 22/08/2013 10:18

Becca I'm making lists, but can't do anything yet as we take possession of our new house in just under a month. We also have the last of our guests due this weekend, and then several quiet weekends which mean we can finally start packing and sorting our what's going with us and what is going to the tip.

The great thing is that 2 close friends are also pregnant, one due the month before me and one after, and we're all looking to move into roughly the same area - which would be amazing!

rosyryan · 22/08/2013 10:19

Found you!

Good luck Moosey, Rock and Frank :)

MTBMummy · 22/08/2013 10:22

Bit of a TMI question - but has anyone had a really gloopy (like clear snot) discharge?

I've had it the last few days and it seems really quite odd

MTB I have especally after DTD, I believe its just your body keeping things clean up there to prevent any infections spreading up into your cervix.

Quick opinion gauging...am I completely mad to be moving house while pregnant???

NoMaybeAboutIt · 22/08/2013 10:41

Found you all!!!

Don't even get me started on housework.... I'm fine with all the washing, but the smell of toilet cleaner does not sit well. It's about time mrM did some housework anyway Wink

MTBMummy · 22/08/2013 10:41

Thanks F&T that might explain it - I finally had a good day on Sunday and DTD

MTBMummy · 22/08/2013 10:42

Jolleigh - I'm moving house, so I don't think you're mad, but I wouldn't do it towards the end of my pregnancy... Taht said I would rather do it pregnant than with a new born

floatyflo · 22/08/2013 10:44

Hi all! Thought id check in as have not been on Fred in ages!

Hope everybody is well. Got my dating scan Tues. Fx'ed only one monkey in there...

How is everybody symptom wise?

Have horrid constipation here... Yuk. And feeling quite emotional. Am having a panic about this baby deep down. Things like how will I cope, and will my ds love his new bro or sis? Ergh so many silly doubts!
