Rat smackers extraordinaire enjoying a festive mince pies and brooking no argument that there will be the occasional sneeze birth before the end of 2013

[SweetieTime]

Ladies I think we need a new festive thread to take us through to the end of the year. And as it will be me to sneeze next –how did it get around to my turn so quickly???-- I thought I would do the honours.

Dino are you going to be the first brooker having DC4? I've lost track can't even blame baby brain

Oh no, keep, I can't at the moment ever imagine being done so may end up with a football team Anyway, I don't think I'll be properly here for a while as DD is still BFing quite a bit but I am ridiculously broody!

rubber, have I missed a Doctor Who namechange?

Oh Solars amazing news! What a relief! How are you feeling otherwise?

Dino are we talking 5 a-side or a full on team? Subs?!

How has your day been Keep?

There was a competition and I haven't got round to changing back yet.

I'm good thanks Maybe I just can't believe how much energy I had today compared to yesterday when I was dead to the world in my pjs!

How are you doing? How many weeks are you now Maybe? I feel we need an update of everyone again!

Glad you're feeling brighter Solars! I'm 23+3 today, have had awful muscle ache, and woke up yesterday to a proper bump! Amazing! I'm ok, I'm off my meds now, so feel quite delicate sometimes, but I am pleased I can function without them. Feel like I'm working maybe a bit too much (MrM keeps telling me off) but other than that, i can't complain

Yes, update everyone!!

Maybe 23+3 EDD March 24th team pink

That's good to hear Maybe and loving the fact you've got a proper bump, made me feel less like a fraud when mine looked proper have you thought about when you're going off for maternity leave?

Maybe glad you are off the meds and still feeling ok-ish. So what is going on with the bump? Has it just sort of popped out?

Solars glad all went well at the cardi scan and you are feeling more perkie today, I find I have days like that too and then back to normal the next day. It is really strange as there is no reason for it. Just listen to your body and go with what it needs.

Dino lovely to have you lurking, there will be loads of new born snuggles coming up on here soon hope your broodiness can cope

Too how have things been today? glad the spotting didn't continue overnight.

Lovely reflexology appointment today, feel a bit better than I did yesterday.

Hello all,

Thank you all so much for the consideration.

I am just feeling like everything has been too good iyswim. Apart from the SUA and SPD I have been blessed but just feel a little like it is too good!!

But I will talk to DH about a car seat(he is so superstitious and family are over two hours away to keep it for us).I have looked and you can get my pram on next day delivery.

I have a friend at Mothercare so was given the heads up this morning about the 20% sale and may go to get some essentials plus cute outfits and naughties as it is pay day tomorrow and what does not get taken up with clearing the over draft can be used for bibs!.

Thank you though, your words of encouragement and not pure 'you'll be fine, stop worrying' were just what I needed.

I am just tired really.

I will do a name check and proper answer tomorrow but we are off to the NCT this evening.

Bumpie - 30.4wks, DC1, team baby (aka unknown!)

Those updates are terrifying! Where has time gone?! I'm sure you lot just had your BFPs about a fortnight ago!

So can we get new bump pictures on FB?

Woohoo Fox!

Thanks Sweetie. I think my tummy muscles finally gave in. From my running, I've just got a really strong core, so think they were suppressing her

Dino time is going so fast now!!

Glad you're ok Bumpie. Enjoy your NCT.

Solars, forgot to ask, what hypno birthing are you doing? My course starts in January, I'm so excited! Ours is the wise hippo program.

Hello all!

Just thought id say hi. Am reading your news when I can. So pleased to see such a busy thread!

maybe it's an absolute pleasure my love.

I can understand exactly what you are saying Trix when I went for my 20 week scan with Teeny Munx it was the same sonograpger who "diagnosed" one of my mc. She recognised me and was thoroughly unsympathetic about how worried I was. She also sent me off with a cheery "well just remember there's no guarantees just because you had a healthy scan today". Words failed me.

Too delighted the spotting has eased off. I can only imagine the distress you and Dino and Trix felt about the hospitals and the rooms. Can I say again how very sorry I am for all losses the brookers have endured.

sweetie I can only imagine how tired you are, almost there now. The last bit can be so exhausting. In my pg with Wee Munx I could hardl? pull my own knickers up. I must put a bump photo on FB one of these days I was half the size with teeny.

I must apologise for lack of name checks. I am exhausted. Teeny is not sleeping well at all and I'm running on empty a bit.

I'll have a quick snuggle with Keep's gorgeous girl while I'm here though.

Much love to you all.

Have read all but far too tired to post properly. Heading to bed soon I think.

Phew! Read the whole thread and think I'm now up to date, but can't remember who said what enough to name check much!

Not long now sweetie! Must be so frustrating near the end. How lovely you're having twins it's so exciting

maybe I want to see your bump!!

Still don't really feel like I belong here yet Waiting for it to feel real!

Of course you belong lovely Fox!! It's on the FB group!

Hope you get a good sleep Pen!

You're going nowhere Fox you belong here. Fact.

Hope you get some sleep Pen my DS is the same age as yours but I think yours is a better sleeper!!

Thanks Maybe but you need your sleep too!

Loving having a moment to catch up with you all. In some ways I am mightily glad my TTC/Pg days Rg gone but I do miss the excitement!

Just a quick post while DH is giving DS dinner. The tiredness is getting better, but DS is taking up every spare minute. He bled for the first time today, bashed his lip off the baby walker. DH and I felt terrible, but no cuts for 11m isn't too bad going I guess. He's a boy, so I shall have to get used to the cuts and bruises soon I'm sure.
