Hello everyone!
warning, epic catch-up post blames lovely viroids for nattering too much
tori what an angel! Congratulations!!! Sorry to hear about the epic birth! Wow - but you sound very content with your new little boy, he looks beautiful xxx
Hi jelly! We're all delighted to see you here - you've worked bloody hard to get that bfp! Congratulations! Your nan is adorable - so glad youve got folk there to be excited with you (as well as us of course!). And yes - stock up on the pantyliners, it's known affectionately as 'swamp fanjo'!!! Always Dailies are the bomb.
I'm not a fan of the July thread - it was far far too busy to follow the conversation - you posted and it just got lost. I do read it occasionally still. The Facebook page is also pretty busy and people post an awful lot on there, which sometimes gets a bit much and people worry a lot which sometimes makes me worry too. Although I do feel like the 'wise old lady' as I give lots of advice that I've picked up from viroid grads.
They are very nice ladies but I prefer this thread as you've got folk at different stages so someone's always just been through the bit you're in and can reassure you it's normal! And yes as lemon said it's a bit polite - very little foof, minge, cunt and arse rain chat.
tee how are you feeling now? any better? Is it possible you're in early labour gives little excited squeal and possibly considers getting pom poms out Don't forget the wonderful 'Hello Tubby!' comment I got one morning from a colleague. That was a classic! 
I had an unsolicited bump rub the other day which was odd! I also find it odd when folk ask personal stuff like about how my dh is feeling and whether I know if it's a boy or girl. I find it odd that people ask that - my mum doesn't even know what I'm having pats self on the back for being extra excellent secret keeper for 12 weeks!
dulcet tell Mr Dulcet to sod off! You're gorgeous, not fat at all and you are bloody growing a chuffing human so you can have as much chocolate as you want. Tell him he can have an opinion on it when he learns how to grow a womb and push a child out of his arse I know this is not anatomically correct but it's as good as I can get today!
I normally don't eat dessert at all but I ate 5 mini magnums yesterday and half a thing of ben and jerry's today!
pud like ga said some people have quite early 'bumps' but it's mostly bloating. I looked pregnant at 8 weeks and people guessed. Actual proper solid bump didn't arrive until 16-18 weeks, then I felt proper pregnant. Now I'm at the point where if I drop something I weigh up in my mind exactly how important it is to me - too much bloody effort to get down there to pick it up! Also maternity clothes - some go under bump, some over - I found different were comfy at different stages. Right now most go under coz bump too big. But I have a wonderful pair of mega-PJ-bottoms where the waistband reaches my boobs!!!
ga hooray for halfway!!! Any more peeing episodes? I had a near miss today when I got a bit excited about something. LOVING the sodding class bear! I think you should take it on an educational outing - 'Class Bear Watches X-Rated Movie'
bat I definitely think the way wil put it in her post sounded really professional and gave great reasons as to why you'd want to take 9 months. My poor sis in law lives in NYC and has the same problem - they get 6 weeks and that's it. She is in bits about it, worrying about how she's going to manage. She's still working 12 hour days at 38 weeks because she feels she can't go off on mat leave until the very last minute to save it up for when baby's here.
JC I've definitely cleaned up friends vomit and carried them, but not wiped any arses just yet thankfully!
looking I mc at 7 weeks so that puts paid to that theory! Try not to worry - whatever happens you can't change the outcome so try to put it out of your mind.
before! wonderful to see you and sorry for stalking you and tracking you down, but I still remember your bfp and it means a lot to know that you're ok (albeit in pain - sorry :( ) and that you're going to have a BABY soon!!! I get so attached to people's stories, I love to hear how people are.
So sorry for you viroids feeling rotten ga and rhi - get lots of rest if you can! So exciting that you've got scan next week rhi, it feels like a while since we found out a new flavour!! :)
niff we will be here to hold your hand through the scan. First 12 weeks are so nerve wracking, but hold your nerve and think positively.
I'm sobbing to first series of OBEM. No idea why I'm watching it, what a crap idea! I am tired and emotional today because not sleeping well again last few nights, hopefully tonight will be fine though :D Got lots of heart palpitations at the moment my chest is jiggling up and down and I can hear my heart in my ears. Baby is kicking away merrily, think he's having a party.
