MARTIANS 2014 - Thread 8: Scans done, bumps showing, first flutters

Great news Edamame 
I really admire you'll for coming off the meds. It must be hard enough to do without all the extra hormones running through the body. Without meaning to sound in any way patronising, is there anything you can do to up your natural endorphins?
Edam, I feel apoplectic for no reason whatsoever. I am literally struggling not to twat people (like the estate agent who just told me my cats are not welcome at a property I really, really want.) If my mother says 'Oooooooooooh, Pram! There's a chippy just across t'road!' one more fucking time she will not only need a crutch (she's a bit crippled) she'll need a bastard neck brace.
Lumpy, be nice to your infertile colleague. I've been there and it is torture having to live/work alongside preggos. She will want to stab you and feed you to her Alsatians but don't take it personally. On a serious note, she will be suffering on a daily basis and crying herself to sleep every night. Her relationships will be rocked and she will hate her seemingly pointless life. Don't be a martyr though, either, and don't do any of her work.

Had no idea 
could mean anything other than an actual biscuit but thanks for info!
Hello ladies, I've come back from my shopping trip to JoJo Maman Bebe laden with maternity goodies 
. Their clothes are so comfy and reasonably priced - highly recommended.
pram see you can post without being harsh. I would never be horrible to her, one of my best friends went through 4 years of tests and ivf to get their dd and I saw how awful it was. I'm being sensitive and helpful and not giving her heavy work whilst at the same time not doing it myself. She just takes the piss when on a Friday she couldn't possibly do a patient who needs 2 nurses, expecting me to roll him but on a Monday she does him all on her own! 
I'm sure for DS my odds were 1:26,000 - I was only 28. Ah the purity of youth [haggard emoticon]
I'm proper stuffed-up at the moment. DH is going to put the kids to bed and I'm going to order us some Japanese food - I need the recovery power of chicken ramen! I also might have a medicinal 
with it. I'm sooooo knackered!
I'm taking advantage of my boys not being here to have a day filled with beige junk food. I always cook fresh healthy stuff when they're eating too so it's nice to have a day off.
Lunch was a packet of bargain cheese and onion rolls which i bought from co-op yesterday, reduced to 15p a packet. I can't resist a bargain, me. Luckily I have a large freezer to accommodate all my impulse purchases.
I talked to DP on Skype earlier. He looks horrible! He had dental surgery yesterday and his face is all puffed up and he has a giant top lip. I had to resist the urge to laugh when I saw him 
Seriously, it was like talking to a stranger but I know my handsome chap is under there somewhere. He's coming home on Monday
Magpie this is DC1 for you isn't it? You're so lucky - I have the kind of cold I could really snuggle up with and enjoy if I didn't have my kids yet. The words "duvet day" bring a tear to my eye! 
Make the most of the opportunity to be lazy!!
