Breathing through the scanxiety, putting all our faith in Jill and fantasising about illicit paddling pools and fanjo fans - it's JS grads thread 32!

[LaLaLaaaa]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 32nd grads thread... celebrating the success of Just Shagging in getting us viroids upduffed!

For those that don't know, a 'viroid' is from the original JSing thread 1, where someone was trying to type ladies (in reference to all the JSing ladies), but their phone decided to call us all viroids instead!

The name stuck and we've been the JSing viroids ever since.

The thread we have graduated from is here in its 50th outing. WARNING: they're all a bit kerazy not to mention randy!

There is also a Just Mumming thread here for once your babies come along, or to keep up with the graduated graduates!

There is also a private facebook group (so it doesn't give the game away in your news feed!)... if you want to join to see photos of new babies etc, just ask in-thread!

Here is the stats list, please update your own spot with any updates.

Great dream dulcet! I keep dreaming about exes for some reason! It's weird.

Had to have a picnic at 1am coz I was starving! you lot and your food chat! I had chipsticks, toast and hot milk

God knows dulcet - I think they're having lots of fun inside! Mine is certainly not in a hurry. Dh was like 'oooh perhaps I shouldn't go to work!'. Had to break it to him that it could be many days yet! But at least things are moving

Friend was refused sweep yesterday because apparently hospitals are short staffed this weekend. That makes me a bit

I didn't know they could decline on that basis la! Just to add to that worry, apparently our hospital was shut again yesterday morning. MW said July is always a popular month for babies, and Sept/Oct. Hospital gets fined every time they have to shut so they do try not to but obviously having issues at the moment.

I was going to get £24k to do the race too. Probably worth it!

I desperately want my water birth if possible, I'm hanging on til Monday!

Me too! I'm meant to have it tomorrow though as that would be convenient for everyone. I'll go tomorrow, then you can go Monday. Spread it out a bit.

Done!

What is your favourite thing to do at 6.30am? Mine is chase a kitten around the garden with a bird in its mouth whilst trying not to wake the neighbours and sleeping DH.

(Mission complete: bird alive and off like a shot once naughty kitten distracted and contained!)

Try to rearrange the purring cat sleeping on my head so claws don't dig in my head and hurt

Morning! It's another beautiful day here. Good old summer.

I have a new NDN. If you remember, old NDN had horrible yappy dogs who barked constantly. New NDN has dobermans. I have heard 4 barks (I.e. woof x4) since they moved in on weds. Compared to almost constant barking.

Bliss. Bliss, I tell you.

Great news on the new NDNs Honey

La appt is on Friday. On the basis that there's no chance of a BFP until at least a week later than that I've given myself a green light...

Thanks you lot, now I want a fish and chip dinner!

Can you get proper fish and chips over there Chat? I know Belgian frites are nuce, but it's not the same!

Gx chat - you must be very up and down at the moment x

Yum fish and chips with salt vinegar pickled onions and ketchup

Going to go get on ball and see if I can get these pains moving. Have had a constant cramp now since Bout 4am. No waves of pain though so don't know if it's contractions or not

Morning viroids.

la gx something is happening and mini-la is on his way out! And gx for tomorrow being your day dulcet

chat big hugs to you for next week.

DP made me fish finger wraps for dinner, what a legend. I confessed about the scampi and he didn't mind. He's also started writing a baby journal, basically jotting down things we do and our experiences to share with the baby when it's older :)

Oooh, bounce, La, bounce! Gx!

Glad you can get back to it Chat. My friends went through the same last year, with dc2, a DD. They have just had dc3, another DD and couldn't be happier. It's lovely... They came to associate a certain animal with their dc2, and dc3 is wearing clothes covered in the animal design, so it's like dc2 is there too. Really lovely.

Jelly my DH is keeping a record of "batshit crazy things Honey did" for his own amusement.

honey chat doesn't need proper chips. She has alllll the waffles. Nom Nom

Jelly I kept a book where I wrote letters to miniLa, starting after 12 week scan. Going to give it to him when he's older

Morning viroids

Now I want chips for brekkie we live near the original Harry Ramsdens, although it has changed hands and there's another one that's better. Im not a big fish and chips fan and usually have scampi

One of the girls on the sept group has lost 2 stone since being pregnant. She says she doesn't feel like eating! I'm not sure that's the best idea the others are telling her to eat.

I had some very weird dreams last night but can't remember any of them fortunately

Dulcet if it's 4 weeks before your due date then they can enforce mat leave. I'm hoping it won't come to that but this week has been too stressful

Chat good luck for your appointment. Keep at it, we could do a special JSer of the week for you.

La, dulcet, have you tried spicy foods yet? Maybe you should swap that battered sausage for a vindaloo dulcet if you want baby out tomorrow?

Get bouncing La! I'm so excited for you. Anything happening at your end Dulcet?

One of DH's friends had a baby last week and she had to get an ambulance to a hospital 30 mins away because her local hospitals were refusing new admissions I had no idea they could even do that! (We're not near you though...)

My humble advice is to stay at home as long as possible x

Nice to hear from you chat xxx

I think either way dulcet is popping before me! Nothing quick is happening here. Pope im 45 min from the hospital in good traffic so need to factor that in to our journey

*popz not Pope!

Hee hee Pope!

Re: the iron levels, I don't see the MW now until the end of August. Should I see the GP to get another blood test? Or book in to the weekly midwife clinic? Or will they take bloods again at the 20 week scan? (I realise I should probably ring the midwife to ask these questions!)

Exciting stuff this morning. I have been able to feel 'something' in my tummy for a couple of weeks, flutterings I guess you would call it. Mostly when I'm laid flat on my back. This morning I could feel the baby having more of a wiggle and I got DH to give me his hand and he could feel it to! He said, romantically, 'is it a fart'? But then he stopped being silly decided it was amazing and gave me a cuddle. I haven't really wanted to be cuddled/touched much in the last few weeks so it was really lovely.

Also DM and DF are staying and DM was prepped to get up to Eris when she started howling at 5 am (Eris is like an alarm clock, a loud one!). I sold it to DM as practise for being a Grandma and I got yo sleep until half 7, bliss!!!

Haha! I'm good but not that good Blimey La that's a fair way.

pud glad to see the kitten has you in training! (I had my feet bitten for food at 7 this morning, I think she was giving us a lie in ). Re bloods best go in and get them, you won't have them done by mw again till 28w. This probably won't help...I had the first trimester exhaustion till about 24w...felt great for about 6 weeks after that though.
I'm off on my holidays today! No WiFi so I'm betting I come back to s bsby la and dulcet :)
