We're multitasking by crocheting and blood testing our way through pregnancy. We are waiting for our clutch of Christmas babies to hatch while our newbies are gearing up for scans, it's JS Grads 42!

[Hobbit19]

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the 41st 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 41sr grads thread is HERE

The thread we have graduated from is HERE in its 55th 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. (Except it's not because I don't know how to link to the stats sheet!)

Wow lil that's amazing! Congrats

Isn't it amazing how it goes from blob to baby in a few weeks?

Hi Baby Lil!! Honey you are right, it is amazing!

Yay Lil

These comparisons they give you are all American words for fruit and veg. Scallions are indeed green onions, Broad beans also have a different name, and a Napa cabbage is white and kind of oblong cabbage that is really good in home made coleslaw.

Incidentally Napa is near to me and famous for its wine. Living in wine country is awesome unless you are pregnant and everyone (DH) decides you can drive them and their mates around wineries all day as you can't drink.

As I have to go in to work tomorrow this isn't really Friday for me. But it's only a half day and all I am doing is looking after a conference so not normal work. Scan on Monday, but very nervous.

Pud Molly et al. So close now :-)

Beautiful baby scan there lil are you feeling anymore relaxed now?

I think given a few days for it to sink in I may now start to relax. Currently nervous about stopping pessaries though.

Thanks for the new thread! And congrats on the scan lil

YAY –beautiful baby scan Lil! From bean to baby!

Molly You deserve all the wine once it isn't contraband again!

Ill wineries while preggo is torture! I've taken to sniffing DH's red wine. The smell will have to be enough for now and sort of makes you feel like you can taste it!

inhales deeply

oh wow lil amazing scan!! blubbing up a bit here!! :)

Fab scan Lil it does seem very unreal initially doesn't it?!

Wine not really my tipple peanut Fortunately he left a nearly full bottle of Jim beam with maple which I'll certainly be looking forward to sampling at some point, even though I usually prefer jack!

nothing like a good old scan pic to cheer us all up

quick moan from me to bring things back down....
bras...grrrr
new bras i bought literally 1-2 weeks ago are uncomfortable and probably too small already (or possibly were from the start!). i measured myself and tried the bra-intervention approach to get size, but now think both band and cup are prob too small! am currenlty sat at desk with bra undone, hoping no one can tell. there never seems to be anyone around for measuring/help when i go to a shop, so how can i get the right size - i clearly cant rely upon myself!!? HELP!

5hell I definitely took my bra off completely more than once at work, couldn't cope with the rib pain! I know at M&S you can book an appointment with the bra measurer so you would know that there would definitely be someone there, you may be able to do this in other places too.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm wine. I have also taken to drinking sniffing DH's wine. Still looking forward to my G & T in labour, I bought a lime today in anticipation....

You might just have grown that much 5hell - I inflate at quite a terrifying rate when upduffed. It's an annoyingly expensive side effect.

Congrats lil I'm delighted for you

I afraid I can't limit myself to smelling the booze! My tipple of choice at the mo is a shandy, because it feels like a nice big drink bit isn't actually.

We had a wonderful time visiting Father Christmas at Eden, DS loved it.

I had to undo the bottom two hooks on one the other day because it was digging in like mad and annoying the crap out of me, but I'm too big to go without. The one I'm wearing right now is ridiculously comfy - but I can literally fit the cup on my husband's head. It was also too big in both band and cup 2 weeks ago when it arrived...

Regarding booze... was in the pub with DH last night and he was trying a dark IPA and I would have absolutely loved some! Missing mulled wine and hot whiskeys too, tis the season.

I am deffo not missing out on mulled wine.

I don't think it's necessary to deny yourself everything anything

I have had a small (tiny) glass of red wine the other day. Certainly plan on having a glass of champagne on Christmas day.

I'm trying to make the most of enjoying it before the heartburn ruins it!

Late to the party

Currently cooking 25+5 chap!
Currently wondering after eating dinner if I can have another dinner ???

God I miss wine.

I had maybe a third of a flute of champagne at a big family event a while ago, and have had a tiny sip of DH's wine maybe three times over the whole pregnancy (and I mean, literally, just enough to taste it, not even a proper sips worth!).

I actually always thought that I would be happy to have a very small glass of wine every now and then, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

I'm planning on expressing my milk almost the second it comes in, so I can get a few extra feeds worth have a proper glass of wine ASAP after the birth!

Veeting my foof by feel and prayer because I can't see it under bump and can't do it backwards in mirror. Sat on bed, legs splayed whilst evil smelling cream does its work. Rocking Friday night for me

I'm 37 weeks Tuesday. Why on earth am I even doing this now?! I'll only have to repeat it!

I'm late too country !

Fell off the thread now I'm back at work as I am fucking shattered! Am managing the puking ok, just so so tired now I can't nap for a few hours a day 😴

Everyone says only a tiny amount gets into breastmilk anyway, don't they? Saying that, I haven't missed the vino as much as I'd have thought i miss pastries like hell though

Spent a lovely day with my family today, which was much needed. NHS antenatal class in the morning, and I'm wondering if it's a waste of time given that we're doing nct? But dp thinks we should go.

Omg molly I didn't see your veet post before I replied. Hahaha! Well I am watching Pointless reruns while dp is at his work Christmas do so rock on!
