Congratulations Keep, wonderful news. Looking forward to hearing about it GrinThanksThanksThanks

BlindKitty · 10/11/2013 07:47

pip I'm awake every night around 3.00am since getting diffed! Something to do with my hormones apparently! Can't wait to hear the rest of the story

everyone else thanks guys! Can someone give me an update on everyone's news? Man I'm cheeky since being AWOL! sweetie and solars must be getting close now? Has maybe stopped vomming? What have I missed?

SweetieTime · 10/11/2013 08:02

congratulations keep cannot wait to hear all about it. 4 hours is super speedy delivery time. Your daughter must have been very keen to make her arrival. Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks

kitty lovely to see you back and fab scan news. Cannot believe you didn't pop in to share it
I finished for mat leave on Friday. Bump massive now, feet really swollen, twins growing well but no sign of arrival. Will be induced 10th Dec (37 weeks) if no sign. I thought it would be very close between me & keep who would sneeze first but obviously not.

Congratulations keep! Thanks 4 hours is AMAZING! A true brooker's sneeeze Grin if you have a dc2 in the future I'm thinking it may need to be a home birth! Can't wait to hear the full story of kip's arrival (and her real name!) Grin

cartoontrickster · 10/11/2013 08:42

kitty I'm next after sweetie, I'm 30weeks due 18th Jan.
we do have a list some way back, keeps best at keeping it up to date but she will be far too busy with newborn snuggles!
sweetie I had thought it would be much closer between you and keep although I did think she would still beat you to it.
my hairdresser friend had her little girl a few days ago too. all this has made me excited for my turn.
we have our hospital visit and start antenatal classes in the week so all feels a bit more real now.

musicalmrs · 10/11/2013 08:48

Congratulations keep! Four hours is amazing! Enjoy all the newborn snuggles Smile

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 10/11/2013 09:10

Wow Shock congratulations Keep! Sounds like a sneeze birth. Can't wait to hear all the details xxx

CakePigeon · 10/11/2013 09:17

Congratulations keep 4 hours is outstanding! Lovely news Smile

BlindKitty · 10/11/2013 09:41

sweetie tbf it was only wed! Poor you and your feet! Hopefully having some time off will help keep your feet elevated

DreamingOfAFullNightsSleep · 10/11/2013 09:50

Congratulations keep, wonderful news!! I'm not here much and still dying for the birth story. Were you 38 weeks then? Well.impressed with 4 hours.

NinjaChipmunk · 10/11/2013 09:54

huge congrats! like dream I don't get on here often but do check fb so nice we got a heads up! 4 hours is a true sneeze birth. enjoy the snuggles Smile

ThedementedPenguin · 10/11/2013 10:31

keep that's fantastic news. Can't wait to hear all the details. 4 hours is fantastic.

Hi kitty good to see you again. Glad scan went well.

BlindKitty · 10/11/2013 12:43

Thanks peng, how's pingu getting along?

cartoontrickster · 10/11/2013 12:59

I have been to the shops and treated myself. I was a bit reluctant to spend money on clothes when I have max 12wks left (allowing for 2wks over due but if I'm anything like keep could be much less!) but I was getting frustrated with the lack of choice I had and constantly needing to do the washing. so I have brought a lace top, leggings, 2 pairs of tights and some black trousers. mum also brought me a dress on Friday. hopefully some of it will be wearable for a bit afterwards, I only get on with over bump bottoms so not sure if I will get much extra wear from them. we also got treats another baby grow and hat, some booties and a musical 'the snowman'. I know treats will miss Xmas this year but dh loved it, I think its for him really Grin .

ThedementedPenguin · 10/11/2013 13:44

kitty Pingu seems to be doing good. 20 week scan on the 20th. I'm so excited/nervous. Can't wait to find out what we having as I going to buy some cute clothes.

How's things with you? How are you finding pregnancy?

whimsicalname · 10/11/2013 14:16

Ooh I haven't been here for ages. I'm all competitive diet support these days.

Anyway, nice to see lots of bumps and of course congratulations to keep. Loving 'will post details as assume you'll be interested' Of course we're interested!

(Settles in with toast as the diet fascists will never find me here)

BeedlesPineNeedles · 10/11/2013 16:59

Congratulations keep Thanks
(though I did think I'd be allowed to lurk for a bit longer before I had to come and give congratulations on sneeze births Wink )

Solars · 10/11/2013 20:00

Just logged on to see if Keep had been back on, I'm so jealous, she's obviously enjoying those newborn snuggles! It's making me all warm and fuzzy!

Kitty I'm due after Sweetie and Trix on 18 Feb, I'm almost 26 weeks at the end of the 2nd trimester Shock I think it's Maybe after me and then Pen although I can't remember where Bumpie slotted in? Is there anyone else I've missed?

I think it's nice to treat yourself now and again Trix

20th is not long to go Pen have you any inkling over the sex? I'm going to guess girl I really have no clue to be honest

ThedementedPenguin · 10/11/2013 20:07

solars I think boy. However, I really don't have a clue this time. So we shall wait and see. Can't wait to find out.

trix think I'm going to do a bit of shopping, treat myself to something nice that fits.

Where did you buy your clothes?

cartoontrickster · 10/11/2013 20:34

pen I vote boy! but only because we've already got kip and fin as the girls so we need a boy around here. I have no clue really though either. I can't make up my mind which I think treats is. I'm constantly changing my mind.
I went to mothercare and h&m thats the only two places that sell maternity in my local town centre. I do quite like New look for bits too I've had a few bits from there I've ordered online.
now where is keep I'm dying to her all about kip.

BlindKitty · 10/11/2013 21:17

peng coping fine tbh with exception of one vomit yesterday!

Bumpiemalumpie · 10/11/2013 22:59

Joins Sparks waiting for Keep birth story. I hope she is enjoying those new born snuggles.

Well it is officially first day of mat leave. Not sure what to do with myself. I am already in desperate need of a nap and I haven't even been up an hour. I have struggled to get comfy the last few nights, it doesn't seem to matter what I do I just can not settle.

Trix did you get to the NCT sale too? any bargains to be had?
Bumpie did you actually buy anything from your NCT sale?

Kitty how is the sickness now? I was only sick twice at about 11 weeks then nothing. Hope this is what you will get too.

Pen exciting times to find out gender of Pingu. Time will pass really quickly to 20th. I have found maternity shopping a bit of a nightmare as very few shops actually stock mat stuff even though they may sell it online. The sizes vary so much in the different places, it has driven me mad.
