[gnat99]

Right, this is my second attempt to start a new thread for us. Let the chat begin!

Feline - I think youandme is probably the best person (though sadly it's for a shit reason) to talk about this. If you scroll through the thread you'll see. I had letz and polyps over the past ten years so during my first preg last year [incidentally, hi Anna! looks like we're in a v similar 'small gap' situation - mine will be 15-16 months between them, argh!] I had fortnightly cervical measurements to check it wasn't being affected by the growing baby. Turns out, luckily, it wasn't. The good news is they (should) really take care of you and see you regularly for reassurance. Good luck!

Scase - what pram did you get? So exciting!!

Day spent trying to organise antibiotics for a uti!!!! Antenatal clinic said needed them and would fax gp and surprise surprise the surgery said never received them. So frustrating but eventually I have flucloxacillin. Was suppose to be going to visit my mum who lives hour and a half away with dementia and take her out for the day and stay over. The only one pleased is my daughter,as mummy now here tonight. This feed makes me realise how many of us get caught between caring for parents and our own children. It's so hard. It's lovely to hear how everyone's doing and the trials and tribulations of pregnancy. Xx

Oh birch, utis can make you feel lousy, get yourself wrapped up and completely chilled out tonight. Shame the day didn't pan out how you wanted it to.

Dare I say this is the first Friday I feel ok......

Hi Cheery! I got the denim ones as I thought they look quite smart and could wear for work with boots and a nice too. Im tempted by the slouchy ones for home though.
Elizardo! Bless you! We can do this (Christ knows how, wine?) I need to look at double buggys! I have a bugaboo at the mo but the double is about £1200 all in and I just can't justify that!

Im so sorry for those having bad news with parents. My father in law was very ill and passed in my last pregnancy and it was so awful so you have my full sympathies. Try not to feel guilty for looking after yourselves though. X

Its a Baby-Merc one.. Heres a picture :) its got a bounce to it so I can relax the baby, it also came with nappy bag, rain cover, mozzy net, changing mat and car seat :)! Bargain it was haha!

Hi Feline - I'll drop you a PM so as not to thread with even more of my cervix chat!

Right it's Friday and you know what I'm going to ask, what's everyone having for dinner??!!

I'm feeling fine and have had bugs in my wee for a month!! Gp not treated as asymptomatic. Probably a course is a good idea to get it sorted. We're just had homemade pizza ( bought bases, own toppings) and salad for tea. Hubbie tends to take charge in kitchen, as long as I've done a food shop he sorts it out. Bath and pj time for daughter and mite join her. Xx

We are having mash (one of my cravings if you like) sausages and onion gravy!! My favourite dinner I love it and can not wait for it to be done so I can dig in!

Ohhh sounds good, I'm leaning toward homemade pizza too, not got anything in though and don't want to leave the house

Mmm Scase sounds like a good tea for Sunday that!

Hi Feline!

Scase - we had sausages too, with homemade boston beans and baked potato. Yum.

Mascara hope you get your homemade pizza

mascara I had a stew I made with mash. I'm jealous of the sausages now though, will have them tomorrow (had already had a sausage bap this morning - baby has wanted sausages constantly!)
Welcome to newbies!
Exciting you bought your pram scase me and DH can't find all the bits to ours- I'm stressing out about it big time and everyone else keeps saying it's fine I have all this time stamps foot - I want it now!!!
Anna I looked at those last night but didn't have the guts to go for it. They're lovely. I went for a couple of boring / useful basic tops instead.

After moaning about my bras for weeks I finally treated myself to a new bra and new sports bra from M&S. Safe to say I'm so excited to wear them and contain my out-of-control boobs! I may have also bought a few bits in the baby section..

Youandme, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.

My books aren't leaking (& never did last time) but the are sooooo itch it's unbelievable. I don't know what to do but am in danger of scratching them to bits.

We had homemade pizza and salad too! Delish altho started with a sore throat and totally zonked hoping I'm not coming down with something...got a stash of mini eggs to help 😉

All your food sounds delicious I've been craving chip butties had it for my tea the past 3 nights not very healthy I no also monster munch crisps I'm trying not to eat as much this time as I put on 4 stone with my son didn't realise how big is looked till after he was born and I looked back on the pictures my face was so chubby hahaha only 6 days till my scan I can't wait really hoping the consultant will tell me the sex otherwise I will be booking a private scan the same day I just can't wait to find out so I can get organised been looking a cribs I really want the stokke sleepi mini but it's £400 pound it's a lot of money to spend on a crib I'm going to see if I can pick one up second hand and just buy a new mattress for it I've still got the cot from my son I can't wait to buy my pram though I'm such a pramaholic my sons had 12 different prams since he was born in just can't help myself sorry I'm waffling on now x

Evening ladies,

Youandme sorry to hear about your dad.

Nice pram Scase, exciting!..not so exciting about the leaking boobage though, the joys of pregnancy eh?

Welcome to the new ladies.

Haven't been on for a couple of days, banging head cold...medicinal Dominoes for tea for me tonight

I'm craving chip butties and crisps too. And cereal. I don't want to eat anything else.

Already had my dinner but reading this thread has got me craving chips, homemade pizzas and monster munch! Glad to hear I'm not the only one craving sausages, I'm literally having one for breakfast every morning in the canteen at work baby is gonna come out looking like a bloomin sausage!

Anna - wine all the way! It's my 40th in August so I'm focusing on that! we've got an uppababy vista for ds1 which converts to add another carrycot/seat on the chassis for Dd when she arrives. It'll be like driving a tank but at least it shouldn't bankrupt us...!

And we had steak and chips and broccoli and salad with lemon tarts and raspberries last night!

I want an uppababy too but they're soooo expensive! I'd forgotten how much by stuff costs. I'm like for minimalist - last time I didn't have a changing table or a baby bath but DP insists we must have everything.

We finally have all 5 DC today so will be telling them our news this afternoon. I'm really nervous.

Magickal - I totally justify it as the model that will 'do' both kids so we don't have to ever go through the choosing-pram-gamut again! But yes, the whole baby gear thing is a total racket!

And good luck telling your kids! It'll be fantastic!

Hopesanddreams didn't quite get to make my own pizza it was dominoes here too
