Thanks ladies :)

Argh stretch marks are the worst. I put in 4 stone with DS and was covered in them but I never got any new ones with dd because I only put on 3 stone . Apparently they're genetic though.

Sultanajo · 06/10/2013 21:59

Only welcome! So glad your heartburn is sorted. Am tempted to go to docs but I feel I have come this far....

humpty my back is much better thanks after a mini sofa nap this afternoon before work...

Having one of those not felt bubs move much days, but I have been moving around a lot which would account for it. Am sure will be back to full on kicks again tomorrow....

sarah wow! Thats impressive! Cant believe they left her stuck for so long, but really glad all was well in the end. Grin

Looking forward to a chilled morning tomorrow before work tomorrow - may even do a bit of baking.... you ladies are incredibly inspirational! Saw some cheese straws in morrisons this afternoon and very nearly bought them, but restrained myself....Grin Did buy a toffee apple though - have never had one before and I saw it and bought it on impulse. Had it tonight and I actually really liked it! Sweet, while being juicy and refreshing! Yum!

Congratulations on becoming an Aunty Sarah 9lb 7 is a whopper, no wonder she struggled. I had attempted ventouse and forceps with just G&A before my EMCS with dd1, it bloody hurt. She may be rather bruised and feel like things are out of place inside for a while afterwards even though she had a natural delivery in the end after all that pushing and tugging. Good pain relief like diclofenac or ibuprofen essential.

Frizz those cupcakes look amazing.

Tooth good knitting, you ladies are all so creative :)

Welcome only, congratulations.

My pregnant ill cold recipes for those that are suffering are:

Hot toddy: juice half lemon, hot water, honey, few cloves, piece cinnamon stick, piece raw red chilli, few slices peeled ginger.

Ginger tea: bring to boil in a pan 1L water with 7cm piece of peeled and sliced ginger in it. Then simmer with the lid on for half an hour. Drink liquid with sugar and/or honey to taste.

Glycerine, lemon and honey was ok for coating sore andm tickly throats too or just a spoonful of honey.

TobyLerone · 06/10/2013 22:46

Congrats, auntiesarah!

HumptyDumptyBumpty · 06/10/2013 22:49

sarah congrats to your sister! Enjoy being an auntie!

another thanks for the recipes - I'll have to get some cinnamon sticks, chillis & fresh ginger tomorrow. Feel rough Hmm

TobyLerone · 07/10/2013 04:59

Morning. Awake at 4.30am for no reason, which is utter shit.

Frizz1986 · 07/10/2013 07:31

Wow sarahl huge congrats to your sister and yay to being an auntie.

I am preparing to eat a lot today. Plenty of cakes and nibbles at work and then will probably munch on one of my last few chocolate bars in the fridge!
Almost made myself a plate of chips whilst watching australian masterchef last night but had a small bag of crisps instead.
A new chinese/thai takeaway put a menu through the door as well and it looks so yummy. Thank god we are on a strict budget or thatsw hat we would be having this week sometime.

Sorry for all these colds. Dh has got one but really hoping i manage to keep clear of it as i am normally such a grump with a cold so god knows how moody ill be now.

OnlyThePurpleOnes · 07/10/2013 07:32

Sarah it's another girl. DH is delighted/terrified in equal measure Grin Congratulations on becoming an auntie! So exciting.

Another I feel those recipes may be getting a good workout in the Purple house this week. DH woke up in full on man flu mode this morning. Dumping a shot of single malt in his might bring a smile back.

So annoying isn't it Toby? I've been up around 5am all last week. The toddler doesn't even rouse till 7! Where's the justice?! Are you working today or can you take it easy and catch up with a nap later?

TobyLerone · 07/10/2013 07:37

I'm a lady of leisure. I don't know how people manage to do this and have a job!

OnlyThePurpleOnes · 07/10/2013 07:43

Ha... Badly, would be my answer!

TobyLerone · 07/10/2013 07:58

Happy birthday, altered Cake

This morning I am going to make more custard cookies to take to my mum's because our hairdresser is coming today. I had loads left from yesterday but I said DS could take them to school. He has a mate who thinks I am the best cook ever so I occasionally send him treats. In return, he gives DS all his outgrown Hollister t-shirts :o

TobyLerone · 07/10/2013 07:58

:o Only. I vaguely remember from the first two times...

Sultanajo · 07/10/2013 08:26

Happy birthday altered!

Is it not your birthday too toby or am I making that up? Sounds like u have an awesome little swapfest - cookies for hollister t-shirts! Amazing!!! Sucks being up so early for no reason!

humpty so sorry you are feeling rough. There is so much going,round currently. DH has sneezed quite a bit and said everyone in his workroom have been ill. Am praying we both avoid it, especially as I have so much on with travelling and training these next few weeks, plus DHs birthday and our anniversary coming up!

Woke up with heartburn this morning! WTF! Normally doesnt kick in til later.... Grrrr! Still had a nice lie in....Wink

MrsAVB · 07/10/2013 08:43

Morning all!
Welcome only!
Hope everyone had good weekends, mine was quite chilled, although have been making some comprehensive lists of things we need to do/ buy. Have had some very weird nightmares this weekend too; the sort where you wake up and spend ages analysing what you should have done differently in the dream. I'm also waking up really early; very annoying when I have planned a lie in, then to wake up at 5am grr!
I can't remember who has a uti, mrsd or mrsv? How are you doing? I had one a few weeks back... The antibiotics gave me thrush which was almost as bad... So my advice would be maximum possible breeze to the foof! Blush
Some bargains today- asos has a 50% sale! also ocado have a baby event with a third off some things like dermamum stretch mark cream and lasinoh. Also nappies etc, but I'm still in denial about needing them Grin.
Have a good day all...

TobyLerone · 07/10/2013 08:48

It might be mine too, Sultana...

It seems you and I are heartburn twins today. Mine started at 6am. Grrrr!

Naturegirl82 · 07/10/2013 09:12

Happy birthday toby and altered hope you both have a good day.

I am currently sat on a train completely overheating! I've taken as many clothes off as I can but man am I sweltering! Have to travel to London and back for a completely pointless meeting which sucks Sad

I wish I was having your day frizz lots of cake and chocolate is my favourite Grin

Sultanajo · 07/10/2013 09:50

mrsa nappies will probably be one of the last things I buy.....for some reason they make things feel super real!,Shock

nature feel for you! Hope your pointless meeting doesnt drag on and on!

toby my god, I remembered something! Happy birthday to you! Hope you have a fab day! You totally deserve a birthday nap! Grin

Am currently chilling on the sofa and really happy cos back to big kicks this morning while sitting here, so lack of movement over the weekend was obviously due to me running around,like a blue arsed fly....Grin

Midwife tomorrow and I remembered to order some more pee pots from amazon, so I wont have to go thru the leaking jelly mould debacle again!!! Wink

alteredimages · 07/10/2013 10:06

Happy birthdsy toby and thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!
This is the first time I've had a birthday twin. It's exciting!

I am off to celebrate by doing some laundry! Nothing can bring me down today because DD is back at school after missing half of last week with an upset stomach and cold. Peace at last! Smile

Sorry for everyone miserable with colds. I think I've caught whatever was making DD ill last week cos I can't stop sneezing and my nose is annoying me. Even worse, there were proper green Egyptian lemons in the market on saturday and I didn't buy them! Normal lemons just don't pack the same punch.

Congratulations sarah on being an auntie! I am also v v impressed with your sister's G and A delivery. Hope she and the baby are both well.

MrsAVB · 07/10/2013 10:09

Happy birthday altered and toby!
sultana I can't believe you have to buy your own pee pots!? The receptionist at GP just gives me one when I have a MW appointment. Although I did have to ask for one last time I saw the GP, and said "can I have a sample" rather than sample pot, and the receptionist said "err...well I could do you a sample! but that would be a little weird...!"

TobyLerone · 07/10/2013 10:09

We also share our birthday with my future husband, Tim Minchin, along with those sexy beasts Simon Cowell and Vladimir Putin :o

alteredimages · 07/10/2013 10:32
Grin

Well, you can keep tim minchin, simon cowell and putin. I'm sticking with Desmond Tutu ( I think my mum might have had me on this day on purpose, in homage to her idol Confused), Thom Yorke and Cian Healy.

Yo Yo Ma and Niels Bohr were also born today. And I definitely don't have too much time on my hands....

BandontheFun · 07/10/2013 10:36

My weekend was spent mainly on the sofa watching the last season of the U.S. Office, eating Pringles and Malteasers sobbing occasionally at the really sweet or sad bits! So not very productive, my reasoning is I stop work on Friday for a week, and got loads to do, so I definitely deserved the rest! :)

Today I need to try and make space for all the baby stuff I have lying around that I have nowhere to put yet....who knew a tiny human would need so much stuff!! It has now spilled into the hall, cot and crib delivered today! So it's all go in the band house!

Hi only and Happy Birthday altered and toby

I just pick up some sample pots at the midwives office, can't believe u have to buy ur own saltana u can't even reuse them!!

Sultanajo · 07/10/2013 10:53

mrsa thats hilarious! I asked my midwife for one last time and she had run out. I go to a sure start centre for my appointments and I keep forgetting to go to the surgery to see if they have any. Hence the jelly mould last time. This time I remembered and ordered some as knew I wouldnt get to the surgery.... I always reuse my pots though - I just sterilise them with boiling water, so these should last me til the end of pregnancy.....Grin

Spacefrog35 · 07/10/2013 11:21

Hi only

Happy birthday toby & altered & congratulations sarah

We're doing ok. Have our first meeting with little mans consultant later so will hopefully be able to update you all properly later Smile

The milk situation has now swung the other way & I keep getting woken up by sore boobs that need 'emptying' before I can go back to sleep Blush quite amusing when you consider where I was a couple of days ago!

Hope everyone else is ok & that whoever had the uti (mrsg maybe?) is feeling better.

Sultanajo · 07/10/2013 11:29

Lol space! From extreme to extreme.... Great your milk has come in! Very exciting meeting with the consultant. Hope it goes well. Will keep everything crossed!
