Christmas crackers: due in December!

[Loulou000]

Maybe this will really be the last one... until the postnatal one.

Ohh come on VM you can't dangle a carrot like that and then get shy on us, thats the fun of forums the fact that no one knows who you are!!!

No can't - just oo shameful. Was a device discovered by a very...open friend... during 6th form, which is multi-functional shall we say. my face is now burning red!

I'm off to pack my bag, night all xxxx

Vanilla!!!! Just say it!!!!

Lucy, good luck hun xxxxx

Lucy--Good luck.

Vanilla!!!!! Tell Us!!!!!

All the best for tomorrow Lucy - you too Magnolia!

All I am saying is there is a link between the item and hairy legs . Have tried it a few times whe trying to conceive and it never let me down, works very quickly. but rather than turn to it again, just gonna work on DH!

Everything is about hairy legs today!

Do yourealise by this time tomorrow we could have over 100 posts again...already.

Right I am off to bed - having said too much to be comfortable with. And am going to try squeezing DD's pressie from bump into the hospital bag!

Night
X

Electric shaver????

Have you never been to an Ann Summers party VM?

Yes, but was too shy to buy! As I said this worked when I needed it to conceive - and apart from the last few weeks have never had to revert back to it as DH is usually obliging .

The most shameful thing is when my friend told me about it I said I was disgusted and would never try it. 14 years later......desperate situation and all that!

Sorry that should be until the last few weeks DH has been very obliging! I have not had to use it since conception! Oh look I am all embarrased and getting all muddled and even a name change could'nt save me

I remember being very shocked by a lot of things at 16-18 when I didnt think myself a prude, that I wouldnt bat an eyelid about now, but I found that I relaxed about a lot of stuff after I had my DD, the world had seen it all by then...

Awwwwww VM

Hugs

My DH is normally very obliging as well, have just felt like a 15 year old recently without the body to accomodate me

Thanx WB

Oh well -

Just have to say if we ever have a meet-up - I'm the one with a paper bag over my head

Going to ponder a new festive nickname now!

OMG VM, how did your friend work that one out? Obviously I can guess, but it's not something that I would have even thought about at 16!

Lucy, been thinking about you over the last few weeks, how exciting that you'll be a mum of 2 by tomorrow!

Magnolia, Good luck tomorrow.

ELM, sounds like you've had a bit of a stressful time, hope it all goes a bit more snoothly over the next couple of weeks.

Got my growth scan tomorrow so I'm having an early night as I think it'll probably be a sleepless one. Feeling a bit stressed and worried about it, for some reason, even though it's not a big deal.

Just finished reading the old thread and added something on the age question and then found out you are all over here talking about roasts and orgasms! Being a veggie and not having gone near DP in months, I'm not the best to talk about these 2things. But I have to confess to buying something recommened on Sex in the City a couple of years ago...very useful when DP not around
This is what I put in my other post:
Lol Beaker! I'm like Loulou, I was 37 yesterday (Happy Birthday to Judemum and AQ too!-how weird we r all on the same day) and it's my first. I spent years trying to find the right man, found him 2 years ago, decided to come off the pill for the first time in about 18 years and got pregnant a month later! Not exactly what I was expecting-I thought it would take a couple of years- but a welcome surprise. And I even had preND at first, because I wasn't ready I think! My parents are still in shock-they had given up on me and grandchildren.
Everyone is different- I still don't feel 'mature' enough to be a mum

Damn and blast, no time now to read and catch up! Tomorrow, I hope....

Just had email from Lucy, so a big good luck to Lucy for tomorrow... very exciting

And to say I saw OB, she was lovely, admitted not a clear cut case and baby still head down but...big but...bp really borderline now. I either have section on Friday (then bp medication as its bound to go up again) or go in for monitored medication for 2-3 days next week, then carry on until 41 weeks in hope of VBAC. No induction possible, so would have to be section if nothing happened by then.

DH is scared re bp and clear: he wants to go ahead on Friday. I'm a bit scared too - really don't want to mess aobut with risks when I have dd and Bump to consider (not to mention dh and me!) so probably will do Friday. But...going to sleep on it... I hope.

Wish I had time to catch up with all of you - and welcome newcomers - but plumber coming early (dh sudden last minute panic, grrr, water off in mid wash/breakfast time) so must go to bed. xxxx

Jabber, hope you're ok - not even had time to scroll down and see if yo'uve posted, but been in my thoughts!

Good luck to Lucy tmw! Thank goodness they finally gave her the go ahead. I'll post on here as soon as I hear anything from her by txt.

Eli, from a purely practical point of view, a planned c/s will be much easier mentally on you, dh and dd because you won't need to have the plan a, b, c in place for who's going to look after dd if x, y, z happens. All the ifs and buts are covered and you know you will have your baby safe and well in your arms by friday evening. I'm sure that's no help to your emotional state really but it's another positive thing to look at.

Looking forward to hearing from Lucy via Anna in the next couple of days!

Itch itch scratch scratch....thanks Olihan, yes, thats true: and I'd be up at 4am for more worthy reasons than this blasted itch

Much more practical, for sure. And probably safer (though thats impossible to predict for sure). And both dds would have a slightly less exhausted Mummy than if I wait any longer!

So much for sleeping on anything - other than ants, by the feel of it

Hi Eli,

I have a bout of insomnia too

Good luck to lucy! How exciting.

Anxiety probably isn't helping you Eli. Good luck today with whatever you decide. Am thinking of you.

Good luck to Lucy & Magnolia too (fingers crossed for you Magnolia, taking your bag along is probably a good idea ). How exciting -there might be some announcements later!!

Welcome newbies!! ELM, well done for managing to go on this long after your waters breaking. Hope it goes well for you.

Haven't slept a wink either. Thinking of you all xxx

Morning folks!
Just about to drop DS off to creche and then come back and slob around! We figured we pay for the space even if he's not there and with me being so knackered now it's best he get some sort of stimulation. As a result I get my 3 slob days a week (used to work Tues, Weds and Thurs) and he gets a happier Mummy at the weekends!
Carameli you are lucky I don't know where you live. As I was reading your post last night (too knackered to reply then myself) I practically put drool all over the keyboard.
Baby is very low down today and I'm feeling bulkier than normal (didn't think that was possible!) - hope he moves a bit...

Best of Luck Lucy and Magnolia! Not jealous at all me NOPE not a jot!!!

Good luck with the appointment, Magnolia! Fingers crossed they listen. Thinking of you and of Lucy this morning!

Castles, you bet - anxiety and excitement levels in this house definitely up, and not just mine: dh went into a last minute dh-type nesting frenzy and as a result we have the plumber arriving any minute to fix the shower pump (??? really urgent, obviously, when having a baby ) meaning all water off whilst dd has small friend round: 2 kids needing drinks and potty trips all morning

I took my bp this morning first thing as usual, 155/77. Not too bad. Half an hour later, all relaxed, thought I'd check it again - 148/91. First time I've seen bottom figure hit 90, and although it doens't stay there, the spikes are getting a bit silly.

So enough's enough I think...tempted as I am to extend my last ever pregnancy (except at 4am when itching) and experience going into labour/wondering if I'm going into labour: I think I need to be a bit careful...

Bump's coming out tomorrow morning

Congratulations Eli - I am very

Oli - lets just say this friend had very liberal parents. One an artist one in the music business. At 16 she could come and go as she pleased and was a 'free-spirit'. Often spent the night at her house and learnt many new things. Most of them totally shocked or traumatised me - who had a widowed, older mum who rasied me with the morals of the WWII Generation - not that I am complaining. This friend was last reported table dancing in Spain for a living!

However as sordid as my little secret was if nothing else, I believe it helped me get my babies, and they are nothing to be ashamed about - but why does everything seem so 'bad' when you discuss it at night!
