Ahhhhhh edamame!!!!!! Welcome to the Martian boys club where there are mud pies and worms a plenty! Grin

x0gawjus0x · 03/10/2013 09:36

2 boys and 3 girlssss?!? Eee :D x

Edamame · 03/10/2013 09:43

It's still early Apprentice. She's probably stuck in traffic, drinking coffee or having a meltdown in the office bogs wishing she wasn't such a bitch

Edamame · 03/10/2013 09:47

Thanks Smile

Hope your move goes smoothly Grey

Rockchick1984 · 03/10/2013 09:48

Congrats Edam!!

Apprentice even if she is Angry she can't do anything about it except silently be pissed off, so don't worry. I doubt if that's why she's not called you though, she's probably just busy.

faithfulandtruthful · 03/10/2013 09:52

Ice Thrilled to hear you had a better night. Hope you're (or rather he) is over the worst.

Edam Congrats on the blue result.

Since I was last on baby has continued to move pretty much constantly and I am starting to wonder if I have a baby insomniac since it moves even whilst I am on the go. It liked going on the bus (I think it was the vibrations). I am also getting some wicked hormone headaches (the kind pain killers don't touch) but I was expecting them as my body just isn't that keen on progesterone, was hoping to make it to 20 weeks before they kicked in so I could think well there's less to go that there has already been but hey oh.

Hope you all have a good day, I am planning a french/apple themed pudding baking session, one Tart Tatin (you cook it upside down in a pan and turn it out at the end) and one Tart aux Pomme (that's apple tart to an English person!).

F&T

Hope it's gone well Jolls and congratulations Edamame

It's a bank holiday here so me and dh are planning our last two trips back to London before baby is born. I'm wondering if there's anything I can get baby that will link her/him to the UK. I was wondering what the smells, tastes and (little) toys are that remind you most of your babies or your own childhood. For me, Fairy non-bio washing powder smells of clean children's things, and reddy brek is the taste of breakfast (although I'm sure we'll visit again before we get to that stage). So what (hand luggage sized) would you get?

JustCallMeBaldrick · 03/10/2013 10:24

Congratulations on your blue bump edamame

commsgirl · 03/10/2013 10:28

Baking that's a lovely idea. Fairy and Reddy Brek definitely! I can't think of anything off the top of my head but I'll get back to you :)

Edam congrats on the boy!

Grey hope the move part one goes well! We haven't even started packing yet!

Ice so glad you've had a better night.

I've pounding headache today. Not sure I'm going to make it to 5pm! :(

RaspberrysAndIcecream · 03/10/2013 10:30

New thread - pg 8!!! I think I've caught up!!
Hello!!!!
I'm reading a lot but not really posting at the moment. Not really got much to say?!
I think I felt the baby on Sunday morning but I'm not sure?!! Was laying in bed with dh and he had his hand on my stomach, we were chatting about the baby and I felt these sort of bubbles in my stomach, right underneath his hand. I was only 15 + 1 and this is my first baby so from everything I've read it's to early but I don't know what else it could have been?

Pram - what the hell with the bitch on the phone - you'll be a fab Mum, please don't give that cowbag a second thought.

Good luck with the job interview Jol

Prambo2TheRevenge · 03/10/2013 10:39

You're hired, Jolls, now go and water them plants.

Congratulations, Edam! Thanks

Prambo2TheRevenge · 03/10/2013 10:43

Apprentice, please don't worry what others are thinking, even if she is your boss. You are doing the right thing being off work x

Thanks, Rasp Smile

commsgirl · 03/10/2013 10:50

Pram the only plant in my office is a pathetic looking cactus that no one ever waters. There is a sign in the list encouraging us to bring plants in to make us happier though. Hmm

NoMaybeAboutIt · 03/10/2013 11:12

Morning all!

Baking how about rusks?! And karvol ways reminds me of childhood!

Great news Edamame!

Good luck Jolls. You'll ace it!

Prambo2TheRevenge · 03/10/2013 11:13

Comms, I love cacti, me. Go and give it a cuddle Grin

Prambo2TheRevenge · 03/10/2013 11:14

It's shitter than shit getting up at 8am! It's such a long day 'til th'usband gets home at 7pm Sad

Jolleigh · 03/10/2013 11:26

The interview went quite well I reckon. I'll know in less than 2 weeks.

Random bit of trivia: I once slapped a cactus.

commsgirl · 03/10/2013 11:28

Joll well done :)

Pram get yourself back to bed!

MTBMummy · 03/10/2013 11:33

HI all - how the hell did you get onto thread 11 already? I go away for 10 days and it appears I'm not the biggest chatterbox Grin

So have almost finished moving house, last bits this weekend (yay) but have packed up every thing in the old house, fully decorated the new house, and moved about 70% of stuff across.

Spend 6 days up a ladder painting has made me realise there are bits of me that hurt that I never even knew I had.

Also had my birthday and got nothing from DP or DD (granted DP would have to get a gift for her to give me) I know we're spending a small fortune on a house, and we agreed not to do presents, but I got him a couple of small bits for his birthday a few weeks ago - so I'm grumpy

FoxMulder · 03/10/2013 11:40

Technically I start work at 8am, although that hasn't happened in about 3 months.

Pram I, too, feel like a bit of a failure on the education/career front. I did graduate, but with a 2:2 (1% off a 2:1!!) because I think I was so desperate to leave and move in with my boyfriend by the end that I sort of mentally checked out by exam time. Not that it matters, I mean what the fuck does one do with a geography degree, anyway?!

So I left uni and started doing exactly the same low level jobs I was doing before I started my degree, and never really got anywhere from there. I never did work out what I want to do when I grow up (and not from lack of trying). My friends either have fancy well paid jobs in London or are still travelling the world.

I've made such a twat of myself in work today. I'm so tired, I'm dead on my feet. I got so tired yesterday I threw up. On the drive in this morning I was feeling a bit sorry for myself & had a little cry, which then happened again when I was sitting in my office, so I had to go to the toilets, but I was in there for ages and came back with a red face & I'm pretty sure everyone noticed. I have no vestige of professionalism left. I didn't have much to start with.

I haven't even got a good reason to be crying I'm just so shattered & tired of feeling ill. It's impossible to get excited or bond with something that's done nothing but make me feel shit and that makes me sad. I've barely spoken 2 words to DH all week and I miss him. In the evening he presents me with food & then I crash out. When I wake up he's already gone & I'm late for work again. Ugh, I'm such a twat. My boss has just giving me my payslip & I'm embarrassed to take it.

FoxMulder · 03/10/2013 11:43

Hi MTB! I'm well impressed you'v decorated you new house! We've been in ours 2 years and still haven't done that! Doubt we ever will, to be honest.

I'm sticking up for your DP here. If you agreed no presents you're not allowed to be grumpy! Me and DH don't do presents and by that I mean we don't do presents Smile

Well done on the interview Jolls I hate interviews. I would do anything to avoid one.

Edamame · 03/10/2013 11:55

Happy Birthday MTB! Thanks

Can we all share your cake?

Happy birthday MTB! Cake

Fox you sound so stressed! Try not to beat yourself up for how you're feeling physically and what you can and can't do. Focus on what's going to make you feel better emotionally and try and take some of the pressure off x

Blockette · 03/10/2013 12:10

Hi Everyone,

I've been missing since about thread 3 but I've decided to come back now that I can't pretend it's not real any more.

Jolls well done with the interview, I hope it's good news in 2 weeks
Edam congrats on your blue news, I can't wait to find out ours, but have to wait till the end of the month!
Fox that's how I feel, I've not really gotten into the pregnancy thing which is why I feel a bit odd coming here - Just feel like I've had the flu for about 3 months. - If it makes you feel any better I've been falling asleep at my desk for the past few weeks! Luckily I've woken up before anyone has noticed ;)

  • update as I've been in denial for so long - 17 weeks today, due date 13/03/14, no movements yet but this is my first so hopefully it's just too early. The headaches are killing me, I suffered with them before and had max strength tablets form the GP which I can't take any more :(
So tired!!!!!! and cried like crazy at and advert yesterday - DH laughed ...
