Raspberry - I have horrendous insomnia now that I'm pregnant but have luckily (?) suffered from it before for many years so am very used to it. I managed to rid myself if it using my trusty David Attenborough documentaries previously and to an extent they do work ish now. But then pregnancy paranoia kicks in and I start to dwell on the fact that David is old and isn't likely to be much longer on this earth and it upsets me and makes me cry Blush Pathetic I know. Worth a try though if you don't idolise him like I do!

Morning all - only just finished catching up with thread 5, was away last week visiting the inlaws - will rant about that later

I'm updating the stats as I go, so I will post a new shiny stats post and graphs I think soon

commsgirl · 02/09/2013 11:12

Jol I got so upset about David Attenborough's age the other day. Glad to know I'm not alone!

Frank Wink

Mimi Mine's at 11:10. Yours? I'm really nervous as well. We'll be fine :)

PiratesMam · 02/09/2013 11:14

Morning loves.

My sickness is back today too but like raspberries just retching. Just had a very glamourous jaunt around the co-op, gagging at every corner!

Lyra where's DP off to?

I've still got 2 weeks before DS starts school - they phase in the new ones. I just want to get on with it now, feel like we are all waiting for the new "regime" to start!

FoxMulder · 02/09/2013 11:18

Hey Frank, this'll piss you off: Smile. Me & DH have never been apart for more than a week & we've been together 10 years. And the week was only once.

I'm getting insomnia for the first time too. I blame it on the trapped gas that forces me to prop myself up on pillows so I can burp all night. Oh, I'm a delight.

Scan tomorrow too. 2.20pm.

Back at work today. It feels really weird.

Jolleigh · 02/09/2013 11:20

comms definitely not just you. I talk about him like a favourite granddad...freaks out DP a bit. He's really not looking forward to my reaction the day Sir Attenborough dies Confused

commsgirl · 02/09/2013 11:23

Jol I used to call him Uncle Dave and went through a stage of setting a place for him at dinner when I was 6. Just in case.

Jolleigh · 02/09/2013 11:29

He got his own dinner setting? That is truly awesome. Grin

mimili · 02/09/2013 11:31

Pirates A lot of retching here. Poor DH was all ready for work in his suit this morning and came to rub my back whilst I was being sick ... well you can guess the rest!

Comms Mine is at 10. Looking forward to hearing how you get on :)

justmuddlingthroughit · 02/09/2013 11:38

comms, that is so sweet! It is a source of grief to me that The Great Sir David will most probably depart this life before I ever get a chance to meet him. And that in the highly unlikely event of my meeting him I would instantly devolve into a pathetic, babbling mess incapable of pronouncing my own name, and that that humiliation would haunt me forever. Sigh...

pram, I have a confession to make; I am a middle class wanker who shops at farmers' markets and doesn't read the Daily Mail. But I do love pies, chips and gravy. So there. Grin

Welcome to the thread baking!

Imeg · 02/09/2013 11:47

The scan this morning was generally good in terms of growth, major organs etc. The feet looked ok but she couldn't get a good view of the hands, so I'm going back in 3weeks. Obviously I'm pleased there was nothing major wrong but I think I had got in my head that we could get a full all-clear today (which wasn't really realistic I think), so now feeling a little anti-climactic. Also, she resorted to the internal scan, again.... at 14 weeks I thought I was safe but apparently not!! Will tell a few more people now but until the next scan probably won't go out of our way to announce to people we might not see for ages via Facebook etc. Will have to tell work I think though.

Were not a very independent couple at all either, but we do spend a lot of time doing different things even if we're around each other.

Me and dp haven't spent barely any nights apart since we've been together and moved in after a week, we also have our own company together so work with each other intensively all day too. Whoops!

He does get on my tits though Grin

imeg glad to hear there was some reassurance even though that is a pain to have to go back, at least they're being thorough though!

OP posts:
Jolleigh · 02/09/2013 12:17

Grey - I work with mine too. Pain in the arse isn't it?

commsgirl · 02/09/2013 12:17

Imeg Glad to hear that everything's

commsgirl · 02/09/2013 12:20

Oops!

Imeg Glad to hear that everything's positive. It's a pain you have to wait again though!

Just He came to my town to open the museum earlier this year. On my birthday. I was on holiday. Don't think I'll ever get over it.

FrankelInFoal · 02/09/2013 12:45

Glad you had a positive scan Imeg, I'm sure the sonographer/ pornogapher is just being cautious.

greymoose I think, if I've got the right end of the stick, the "Wilf" you are referring to is the son of a prolific MNer. He has I think (and massively apologise if I'm wrong) a disability of some kind.

Rockchick1984 · 02/09/2013 12:55

Eeek, Gaw hope you and the baby are ok! Is it something you've caught through work? Was wondering where you were hiding, and if everything is ok!

NoMaybeAboutIt · 02/09/2013 12:57

Oh no Gawj gastro isn't fun at the best of times. Acre your employer. Feel better soon x

Great news Imeg. I'm sure you'll get the all clear after your next scan.

My DH works a week of nights every other week, so we don't really see each other then. We are very close though, we spend most of the rest of our time together

Hope you're having a good day spending Prambo. Can't wait to here what meat you got.

x0gawjus0x · 02/09/2013 13:04

Bless you rock i reckon so, it started weds afternoon about 2 hours before i finished and literally was burning up lol! Bloody nursing homes and yucky viruses!

Yeah maybe, my employers are shit theyve said nothing to me since i started (2 yrs ago) i do overtime whenever they ask to help them and when im really unwell i get hung up on when i tell them ive been signed off, lovely!

FoxMulder · 02/09/2013 13:05

God, gawj that sounds absolutely bloody awful. Hope you get better soon.

I went to Greggs for lunch. There were no cheese & bacon wraps! The shelves were filled with pizza instead Sad. I consoled myself with a sausage roll and a steak bake. They were yummy. I wish I had more.
