April 2007....bunnies lambs and babies!!!!

[geordiemacminx]

Here you are girlies!!

Good luck for all scans today.

I though my ms was getting better but yesterday I felt terrible and today isn't a lot better.

Morning all. I'm sorryto say this, given that some of you are obviously sitll suffering, I'm feeling so much better, I'm almost worried about it. I keep obsessively checking my breasts are still sore (probably MAKING them sore). The terrible stomach discomfort at night has all but gone, although I'm still not good in the evenings, and meat still nauseates me completely, so I'm little reassured.

I have my scan on Tuesday, and I think I'm feeling little movements, but I am still paranoid that this time, it will be it. At my last scan last week, the ultraonographer didn't turn the screen around until she was sure Vlad was still alive and kicking, whih made me even more paranoid. It sounds sick I know, but if Vlad doesn't make it, I'd much rather see for myself that s/he hasn't made it.

I'm sorry. I know I'm being paranoid. I just don't feel as though I can take anything for granted any more.

And GreenGirl- yes, I would love to meet up, but only after I'm sure everything's fine. Sorry to be slippery, but as I said above, I'm paranoid and worried. How about Starbucks in Exeter one day? Do you come ito Exeter?

Thanks for your support with the dreaded pox, but we've had a breakthrough - ds actually slept all through last night!!! But I still didn't get a wink of sleep because I kept listening for him crying

So glad everyones scans have gone well. I was convinced I had 2 beans, probably because I feel so big. Was relieved (in a nice way) that there is only one in there. Please tell me I'm not the only one in maternity clothes at 14+wks?!

Quite poss looking for Strep B Bramshott - ask them!!! Mug will be done by end of next week - and that is a promise!!!!

Going over to a friends now and she's having Dd's while I go for scan - will report back this evening!!!

Hiya ladies. Hope everyone is ok. Sorry to hear about all the bugs that seem to be floating around. Hope they go as quickly as they seem to appear.

Bubba, the doppler I bought was an Angel Sounds one. I got it through ebay, from a company called retail therapy. It doesn't sounds as sophisticated as the one Geordie has, but I find it really good. My midwife was a bit sceptical about me having it, as she has said that if I have any concerns she wants to see me. Love her! (she is also a friend of mine, and delivered dd).

Feeling ok today. Still feel sick if I go too long without eating something - trouble is I want to eat rubbish! My latest passion is bason super noodles! Also got a real pining for rice pudding today!

Went to look at a school for dd today (she will start next year). It was so lovely, I nearly cried!

Anyway, am at work, and have loads to do which is unusual, so will catch up with you all later.

Emmymummy, fab news on the scan btw.

xx

Hi ladies!

Hope everone and all the little ones are feeling better. DH had a bit of a bug the other day but he seems to be ok now and I don't seem to have caught it, thank goodness . I got a bit mad at him cos in typical man style he moaned and moaned about it

Runnyhabbit - no need to worry...i've been in maternity clothes since 9 weeks!!!! (and it's my first....)

Does anyone know where I can get PJ's without an elastic waist (i find it really uncomfy as it seems to squeeze the bump!)????

Good luck on the scans today

Great news on scan Emmymummy and good luck to Captain Dippy who is probably having hers around now??

Duchesse - I quite understand about waiting until you know everything is ok. After my mc earlier in the year and the CVS etc I still don't think I will completely relax either until after the 20 week scan & tests so how about we aim to meet after all that if all is well? I come into Exeter all the time and Starbucks (or isn't there another one called Cafe Nero - I haven't been in it?) would be just fine. I hope Vlad has now settled down and given up his barbarian ways .

Are people really feeling movements already? I think any movements I have felt have been courtesy of my very active digestive system!

14.1 today.

Hello everyone,

Congrats on all the scans. Can't believe so many illnesses are flying around over there. Hope you all get better soon.

I'm finally feeling like I'm in the second trimester - a bit more energy and a lot less nausea. Still getting up to go to the loo in the night though.

Glad to hear the maternity clothes are making an appearance. I have one pair of trousers that vaguely fit because they're kind of hipsters, so squeeze on below the bulge (definitely more of a bulge than a bump so far ). But even they are soon to be banished to the 'not for the next 12 months' pile.

Nutty girl - I have bought some really nice pj's from primark that have a drawstring waist as opposed to elastic. They are cropped as well so they arent too long. Being a short ar$e, I'm ultra paranoid about trousers being too long, tripping and falling. PLus they were only £4 a pair!!

Congrats on scan emmymummy!

No news here really - off to park with the boys - nothing exciting happening at the weekend - just family time. Do need to get halloweeen outfits sorted though...bit of diy may be involved as they have both decided they want to be ghosts with eye holes - reminds me of ET!!

Waiting for my doppler to arrive...

Huge pile of washing that can only become a huge pile of ironing....

Lovely looking bottle of chardonnay in the fridge ...boo hooo!

Have just had some yummy homemade (not me!) red onion marmalade...yyyyyyyyyyuuuuummmmyyyyyyy

Will pop back later to hear gossip from CD!

Congrats on scan emmymummy.Hope everyone is ok today.
I am getting married!
Dp and i chatting about it this afternoon..next thing we'd gone and chosen rings before we collected ds from school!
I am delighted!Hope he is too.
Have a lovely evening everyone.

Doobydoo, yay! Congratulations!! When's the big day gonna be?

congrats Doobydoo

Congrats Doobydoo, that's lovely news; I hope you are very happy together always

Congratulations doobydoo. Pre or post-baby wedding?

Thanks guys.
It will be a pre baby wedding.Thought i would wait till after but don't want to!
I will have a glass of champers.
It will be quite low key.and fairly soon.I am waiting for the unpredictable retching to stop as that could be disconcerting for people.
Ds is delighted.He said 'You have made me want to faint!'Sooooo dramatic.He is pleased we shall all have the same surname...so am i.
Dp reckons he will go into school tomorrow[hasn't been there long..]and tell everyone .They prob think we are married anyway.
Dp reckons people will think its a shotgun wedding..but we do have a 7 year old and have been together for 8 years..so it's not really.
We bought wedding rings today.
I am so delighted
Hope you are all well and thanks for the congrats.

Aww that's lovely doobydoo!

Woohoo,Doobydoo-what lovely news.

Awwwwwwww, Doobydoo - that is lovely - congratulations honey!! I make Wedding Invitations as a bit of a sideline (as well as the potting!! ) If you're interested email me on: captain_dippy "at" yahoo "dot" co "dot" uk

Nutty Girl - I bought some lovely drawstring PJ's from Mothercare during my last PJ - they are lovely and comfy!!

ANYWAY ...........

Today we went to the hospital and saw ONE lovely, tiny, wriggly little Bean - Yey!! Go Bean!! Bean was fine and dandy - perfect measurements for dates, so my EDD is 26th April as already stated. Sooooo lovely and exciting - can't stop looking as my gorgeous little bean on the scan picture!

Congratulations Doobydoo! What a lovely romantic impulsive thing for you guys to do and I'm delighted your DS (who sounds absolutely adorable) is so pleased!

I got married last year, days before I turned 40 (it was a kind of goal....) so this bean will be the first "legitimate" LO I have had. Quite a novelty...

And well done to Captain Dippy and your wonderful scan . Glad to hear it's only one, although from what I can tell of your personality from your posts you would probably have been just as happy with two!!

Not such a bad Friday 13th after all, eh?

CD-Glad your scan went well.We share the same due date.

BTW Cornflakekid - DS2 (age 3) wants to be a pirate for Hallow'een and his costume arrived today which is very adorable.

This just leaves me with the problem of where to get a costume for DS1 who insists he wants to fully participate in the Hallow'een traditions.

Anyone know where I can lay my hands on a Cookie Monster costume for a 6-footer???

Green Girl, do you know about that costume shop on Fore Street in Exeter? It's a double-fronted shop filled with all sorts of costumes, mostly for grown-ups- you're bound to find something in there for him...

Bubba - Hello to my fellow due date buddy (think there's another April 26th-er lurking on here somewhere.....)

CFK - You're right - DH and I would have been just as happy if it had been two - you picked up on my personality rather well! In fact, I have to admit - we were a little diasppointed it wasn't ....

I meant GGF

Head in breakdown mode - neeeeed sleep!!
