Due May 2007 - Thread for w/c 20 November

[charleymouse]

Morning ladies
Hope you are all keeping well. Just thought I would start this weeks thread (I am still catching up with you guys from last weeks).
TPT today and I have dared to measure I am 12+6 weeks and currently meaasure 9.5 sheets. I can't imagine how big I am going to get with two in there.
Anyway I have decided to go for the Nuchal scan and have the last apt on Friday afternoon. HOpefully hti swill all go okay and nothing else to worry about, if I come back as high risk I think I will go for further testing (that's todays plan anyway - subject to hormonal changes )

I will endeavour to catch up with all your news later but just a quickie - DH was helped out of his cot when a baby by his big sis who accidentally (cough cough) dropped hime down the stairs. He broke his knee and still has occasional trouble with it now, so not overprotective at all to get checked out. Sensible in my mind

Cheers Have a godd TPT.

Yeah - I am a technical goddess!! (well with a little help from Belkin!)

We have internet at home.

LG&T - Email wingin it's way to you now...

Good afternoon ladies, just thought i would pop on and say hi while we still have power, according to the weather us lucky people in the south are expecting a hurricane and possible powercuts/flooding (oh joy)Actually i will believe it when i see it although the weather has been pretty shit all day and its now very dark outside and has started thundering much to the boys' amusement
They have just gone hunting for torches and candles just in case. Last power cut we had i couldnt find a torch so went into the garden and grabbed the solar powered lights, they worked very well and there was no risk of batteries running out

Hope you are all well today and wrapped up nice and warm indoors. Havent really got much news but had to check the thread as usually i find that if i miss a day there have been loads of posts which takes ages to read. Obviously everyone has more important things to do today than sit on their arses in front of the comp On that note i think i had better get off mine and do something useful.

Will check in tomorrow and see if there is anyone about, im a loner this weekend as Dh is out today and then fixing MIL's car all day tomorrow so please come on and chat or i'll get all lonely ()

Im here pebble...

Really are we getting a hurricane warning? Didnt hear anything as have not watched the news. Ooooooh do you think the rabbits will be ok outside? We have 2, violet and benjamin, they are soooo cute.

im here too pebble just about caught up with the thread ,dont get much time through the week.have you felt babs move yet? how bout you lg&t?

Baby moving right now Katybumps, have felt it faintly for a while but this week i can feel it loads more. How about you?

ive been feeling it move for a couple of weeks.im 16 weeks today according to emergency scan i had a few weeks ago but got a dating scan on weds so should be able to get a definate due date!dont remember feeling te others moving so early though

Hi

Mums work had 3ft flood so she couldnt go in - she is in cornwall,

thought i might have felt some movement last couple of days, seemed a bit more than wind, cant wait to be getting some proper movement, i love it when u can see your tummy doing somersaults

my friend is being induced on monday so good luck to her

have a good evening all xx

It was beautiful here today, nice and sunny, and quite warm for November.

I'm jealous of everyone that can feel you're babies moving. I almost never felt ds moving. Only after about 22 weeks and only in the morning before breakfast. He was my alarm clock. Dh never felt him moving in my tummy because he was very shy and never moved that much (that I could feel, non-stress tests said he was moving like crazy). It will probably be the same with this baby too. I was always jealous of my sil who was 4 months behind me and could feel hers, and I could never feel mine.

morning all can someone please please please tell me who got voted out of the xfactor last night,i missed the results and cant find tem anywhere thanks x

Morning

Sorry I didnt watch x factor last night so cant help me, ds2 had me watching bloody scooby doo movies all night, he just would not go to sleep.

Im sorry i disappeared yesterday i thought no one was around but i was obviously wrong. Did manage to have a good clear out though so staying away from mnet wasnt a bad idea

My little one has been moving around a lot, it started off as small fluttering movements but now its moving around a lot more. Ive been having the flutterings since i was about 10wks which i thought was too early and started thinking that maybe i was further along than i thought but it turns out my dates were spot on (that'll teach me for getting my hopes up)

Im off to MIL's later for dinner again (2wks in a row without having to cook a roast)Dh is already round there with ds2 fixing her car and ds1 is in his room tidying up so its really peaceful here. I had a nice breakfast with no interuptions (got to be a first) then i had a nice long bath without Ds2 wanting to climb in, it was heaven, havent had a morning like that for ages. Bet its not that peaceful up MIL's with ds2 trying to help fix the car

Katy was Eaton road who got kicked out, hooray. The bloody mcdoogal bros are still in there tho, shocking

My parents gone now, have hoovered through and cleaned up. They bought pirates 2 yesterday so am going to watch that this aftrenoon with my feet up and a fry up! Yum

Hope you are all ok today.

Eton Road voted off.

x factor

very of all of you feeling your bumps. I suppose I'm a couple of weeks behind most of you though, so will try not to get too impatient yet.

Horrible weather in London today. Lots and lots of heavy rain. Haven't even made it out for the papers yet!

just phoned my mum and she doesnt know either aaaagh!!!!!!.Its great feeling the baby move isnt it,apart from towards the end when uve got 15 pillows in bed and your body spread in such a way that your finally comfy......and the baby headbutts your bladder and you have to go for a wee.wouldnt have it any other way though,off to homebase now to look at xmas lights . wahay hubby just found out eton road got booted off xfactor yes i didnt really get them have a great day xx

eerrr - bumps MOVE that was supposed to be. Fingers not as quick as brain!

crossed post thanks for the info had a frustrating morning trying to find out!must find something to do got to much time on my hands now i finished my course x

LG&T Dh bought me pirates 2 for Christmas but has decided that he wants to watch it before then so i have told him that he can as long as he buys me another present for Christmas {grin] problem is i cant think of anything i really want that he hasnt already bought, sure i can come up with something though given the chance!!

Hello all, Had a really lovely weekend so far, the twins arrived with No hic ups and Mum was really suprised and very pleased that they had come over. We had a little get together last night with some friends, lots of food and wine and a big b'day cake. Have a headache now today but unfortunatly it is not a hang over.

I am jealous of you guys feeling baby move. Don't worry JL I am with you, JL I also didn't feel my first till 18 weeks so don't worry.

A few weeks ago I really thought I could feel it but haven't for over a week now, so think it was probably wind before. I know baby is well as I have my doppler so I'm not worried about that but it is annoying. I love feeling them move. I think it is down to my low lying anteria placenta coushioning my belly.

I do have a little bump now though, Only when I lie down but it's nice to feel it there.

lg&t I have an e-mail I thought I'd send to you on the address you gave Jl. Is that OK?

Afternoon Everyone

I had the most awful craving last night for lemon bon bons, do you think dp would go to shop would he bugger, So i trapsed off to waitrose in the thunder and rain and they dont bloody sell them, still bought way to much comfort food to make up for it including some brie made with pasturised milk (boy do i want it), then i notice a little newagents on the way back popped in there and there was sooooooooooooooo many sweets i wanted so bought them all and 2 packs on bon bons, going to look about 6 months by the end of the day, still it was over an hours walk there and back so i have earned some of it

was going to winter carnival but it so wet i think it will be rained off, just going to sit here and eat i think (hopefully it will stay down)

Cant believe those mac bros are still in xfactor they are sooooo awful, leona otr ben to win!!! thought leonas witney some was fantastic tho

have a great day all whatever you up to, will check in later when im fatter

Lisa x

Guttedjust pulled out all the xmas decs {my mum gave me all her outside lights as shes moved to a smaller house)and theres no lights!!!Turns out my mums given me the wrong box by mistake,so ive now got a collection of cuddly singing xmas thingies that shes been looking for!Homebase had nothing that took my fancy so now i cant put up my tree or anything and i was feeling really festive Gonna have to eat sweets instead bugger

Would love exciting email from you FSF, amd all intrigued....

The sweets sound yum, i found some vimto bonbons in the week they are so lovely. No KK's for me yet though.....boo hoooo

Xmas decs already? Its not december yet, i cant do anything festive till it's december. I do go a bit mad when it does arrive though...

Ive just been lurking on the due in nov thread, im chatting to a couple of ladies on other threads from there. It is so scary, it sort of bought it home that im going to have to do all that again. One ladies DP posted for her as they were leaving for the hospital! I cant believe it, im sure it will be fine...

It is weird to think that the we will be having our babies in a matter of months. It still is very surreal to me. Everytime I look at ds or sit with him or cuddle with him, I feel sad, because before I know it won't be just him and me anymore. Then I get happy because I'll have two people to cuddle instead of one.

I can't wait for May. I just keep thinking after the Winter is over we will be on the home stretch.

My sister is cursing me. She has two very difficult kids. DD 3 yo, and DS 6mo. Her dd is great but very energetic. She complained all weekend of having two kids and how hard it is, and how I don't understand because my ds is an angel. (He is a very easy baby, and I know that we are blessed to have him). She keeps telling me that my next child will not be that easy, and then I'll understand what being a parent is about. I just told her that just because her kids are difficult it doesn't mean mine will be. Personally I think she has a bad attitude. Every chance she got she disappeared and left me with her kids. She didn't ask me to watch them, she just disappeared.

Will send it to you now lg&t, it's not that exciting, but it tickled my humour. they should have a way to attatch things on here and then I could show it to all of you.

we just pulled the decs out to see what we needed what needed replacing etc.ive got a day off on weds for my scan so going shopping in afternoon.we decorate the tree on the 1st.we put on xmas music and i let the kids decorate the tree ,they usually put all the decorations in one place!when theyve gone to bed the fairys come and rearrange it mkg maybe its because your sister has got such a bad attitude that her kids are like that,they pick up on these things x

MKG, I agree with Katybumps, everyone told me that after ds, he was a good easy baby. Every one said ut oh trouble is on it's way. WRONG, she is a sweetheart. Well when she is not teething but thats different. She is such a good girl we don't know she is there half the time. I think it's true, your children respond to the way you are. My bf in the UK says my children are so good and easy because I am Miss earth mother, chilled and relaxed. Her words not mine.

I think it attitude too. I've noticed that fairly high strung people have high strung babies and low key people have low key babies. It always amazes me how babies and kids pick up on things we don't even say.
