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!)

Thanks niff, mean baby indeed. And happy wedding anniversary!

Baby hasn't been moving as much this morning. Usually has a dance party while I lay in bed in the morning. Have phoned up and been told to have breakfast etc and phone them back in an hour. She has started moving more but I don't know how reassured I feel. Will see how I feel in another forty minutes.

Gx baby starts wiggling soon Pretzel

For those of you not on FB, JC had a baby girl this morning!!

In almost as exciting news; I did a poo!

So happy for JC :) can't believe she's finally had her baby!!

Pud you're up!

Omg jc did a baby!!

pud congrats on your poo baby

Mini pretzel already moving more. Trying to kick my phone off my tummy. Will let them know when I call them back but obviously will still go in if they suggest monitoring. (I didn't mention the gd when I phone before, so I might in case that makes them more cautious.)

We should have a nice batch of babies being born over the next 3 months actually, molly, pud, niff, gouda, looking all in the next 4-6 weeks, then us late jan/Feb ones and then the March JS baby boom!!!

Yay JC! What a gorgeous baby! I hope my labour goes like hers did.

Pretzel deffo make sure they have all the facts but good news about movements.

Christmas service at church this morning. It's usually a bit mental with puppet shows and crazy upbeat hymns. And mince pies, lots of mine pies. Yay, Christmas!

jelly yes! We're going to have a steady stream of js newborns!

honey that sounds like a lot of fun. Wish I was making it to a carol service this year, they always make me feel really Christmassy

Phoned back and they're happy that she's moving now. She said always try breakfast etc when I'm worried It's like yeah I was going to but I thought I'd ring anyway because they told me off the other day when I didn't! Mind you then I said about the gd and she was like oh I better 'log' it so I don't know if that would've made a different. Think it means more chance of the placenta going tits up so I am vigilant. This is the first time I've had to phone up though.

Ah congrats JC! How exciting

Pretz I'm glad baby is moving more again. Ignore the silly lady on the phone, you know best and it's always best to check anything unusual.

Waaah JC did a baby! Seems like aaaaages since the last one - batlet and lemon right? My pregnancy brain is quite serious right now, I am completely braindead.

So it's Molly on Tuesday and pud any time - poowatch sounds promising though pud, you could be errr limbering up! Then fucking hell it's actually me next although Gouda and I are pretty neck and neck - and the time zones could make a difference too... Oh, hang on, isn't looking before me? She's 38-something atm.

I'm still not sure I actually believe it's going to happen. Although all the signs point that way...

Yay for babyCandy!

Congrats on your poo pud I have also been mobile of bowel today

And thank you anyhow Niff it is always good to feel welcome even if it is a case of mistaken identity... Happy Anniversary!

Oh and another one whose baby hurts the per hole over here pretz

Haha you're welcome sky! It is of course lovely to see you here too, but I've definitely seen you looking very chic over on the FB group recently!

Thanks everyone I did a baby!! A real life actual baby!!!!!!

Awesome stuff JC! So happy for you! I still have absolutely no understanding whatsoever that I an going to have a baby soon, my brain cannot compute this information! Hope you are enjoying snuggles with baby.

Great poo news all round team, good work on the fibre intake.

Glad that baby woke up Pretz!

Who was it?! Who?!? Someone just sat in their car whilst their partner handed my husband a secret Santa. Why did I not get open to open the door myself?! Who lives this close to me! I MUST KNOW!

Ha ha ha they should have just put a ribbon around themselves and said 'tada! I'm your JSING secret santa, let's do body shots and dance on the table!' Or drink non alcoholic beer and complain about our swollen feet

Yay JC well done! I did predict a baby by the end of the week

Congrats on poo babies to everyone who had them.

We went to DP's brother's bday do last night, which was really good. Left DS with PILs and had a nice lie in :) And to make the most of babysitting today we went to the cinema to watch the new Star Wars movie. So very nice weekend here! Hope everyone's enjoying theirs too I think I still got a couple mince pies left

Yay for JC doing a baby!!

Christmas shopping finished - check!
Wrapping 50% finished - check!
Dogs bathed - check!
Home alone watched - check!
Gaviscon bought - check!

Packing however is not even started and we go away tomorrow until 28th!

We are back up north again already, to visit DP's family for Christmas! So tired, it's go go go! Already been thoroughly groped on the bump by several of them as soon as we got here. Want to flump into bed but I'm full of Chinese food.

pud and the other person who said it - totally agree with being in denial about having a baby. Sometimes I feel like it'll happen then I get overwhelmed and go back to feeling like it's highly unlikely.

Inspired by pud's FB post and my leaky nipples i just had a go with the boob pump. Droplets of boob juice expressed and baby having a disco in my belly. Still not about to have a baby! Don't believe it. Tralalalalala.

However. In the event it does happen and a baby comes out of me and wants feeding, I'm glad I got the pump out and had a go now rather than when I'm sore and broken and sleepless. It's complicated!

I am quite smug that my tiny boobies fit the size m cup things supplied though. Average boobs achieved! Hoorah! I thought I'd had to go out and find xs ones...

Morning viroids.

Last Monday today before mat leave. Feels good saying that. Only in the office 2.5 days this week, can't wait till Thursday afternoon.

I'm really struggling at night now. Pillow mountain has no effect on my comfort, I just roll so many times in the night it's ridiculous. Great prep for when baby is here lol.

DP tried the perenial massage last night (cheap epi-no). It was rather uncomfortable but I guess it should help if we carry on! I'm pretty sure he just got majorly turned on though.

I'm another one who can't quite believe I'm having a baby in ~6 weeks. We built the cot yesterday and are going to do the test of the furniture next week, although baby won't use the nursery for 6 months hopefully. I've still got so much to do before I'm ready for her (including finishing hospital bag).

Anyone finished up for Christmas already?

Wow jelly that's such a nice feeling knowing you've almost finished, especially at Christmas too.

I genuinely don't think it feels real until you actually have a baby ... Even then, that first night at home is bizarre as hell. Lovely obviously, but just really weird. It quickly becomes that you can't even remember life before baby. So excited to do it all again, even the night feeds, because as tiring as they are, there is nothing quite like having cosy night time baby snuggles, just the two of you.

I've finished for Christmas now! Had said I'd pop in this morning but dd had a bit of an upset tummy yesterday, so we are staying home. She seems much brighter today so we are attempting to make some gingerbread reindeer, yay!

20 wk Scan next Tuesday, starting to feel a bit nervous and excited all at the same time!

Eep 20 week scan Disco, how exciting!!

Jelly that's brilliant about maternity leave lots of naps for you!

I'm finished for Xmas! !!!

Just about to head off for epic journey north with a car full of prezzies and dogs ...wondering what I've forgotten
