Afternoon all, I will be having a nosey at those profiles when I have managed to catch up on here, I have read all of last weeks posts, it took me most of last night! Please forgive me for not replying.
It was my birthday on Sunday so we had a weekend away with some friends at Center Parcs, it was brill, I had a pregnancy spa treatment which consisted of a leg massage, bump cleanse/mask/moisturise and mini facial I would definitely recommend it. I was so chilled BOTH babies were asleep through most of it.
The only down side was the friend we had gone with had her 12 week scan last Thursday and there was no heart beat so it kind of put the downer on things, I think being away helped them get over the worst though, she has to have D&C tomorrow. I just felt so sad for them both, they both really wanted this baby. It makes you appreciate how lucky you are end wonder how it goes right as often as it does.
Thanks to you lot I have just had to have a Twix, obviously both sticks as have two babies to feed, he he. Anyway hope you are all feeling well and looking after yourselves.
CT Australian BBQ sound great,
CT and SOH I think it is lovely your DH s reading to your bumps
SM I used to work in an old peoples home for a while and didn't really want to but really enjoyed it in the end.
SM and SOH my Gran lives in Holymoorside on New Road, she was born and bred there and loads of my Dads family still live there. Small world or what?
DJ well done on the sickness front my bump has just started to give me heartburn which is nice.
LW think you should combine LGTs food colouring with a really strong laxative as well to add to the fun.
LGT have a lovely break you sound like it is already doing you good. It will be lovely to see all the family again and DH will be a bonus. CM sings "we know what you'll be doing, we know what you'll be doing" hopefully anyway runs and hides quick before LGT throws something at her. Missing you already.
SKYTV not sure about Hot X buns with salmon filling must be a pregnancy thing.
AM hope you all feel better soon, its crap isn't it when you feel rough on your birthday.
TYG ooh a wedding in Ireland sounds lovely, don't forget Guinness is good for you. Hmmmmmm. Your mum sounds just like mine she is the one person who thinks it is perfectly acceptable to be bloody rude about my size/shape/ability to cope/Dh etc etc etc. Most of the time it is harmless but something more supportive would be appreciated.
LBL keep your chin up I'm sure everything will be fine re DH workwise and bump, especially as baby is such a wriggly bum.
JLT know what you mean about January being tight I try to make sure it doesn't spoil my birthday so try to get away and it gets rid of those post Christmas blues when you have something to look forward to , just have top budget well in advance.
SOH it will all work out in the end, your vendor is a numpty. Get scanning around and you will find something lovely I'm sure, its just frustrating when you have shelled out money. I would still go for your homebirth if you can face it in rented property (I managed in the downstairs loo) I think your instinct is to huddle somewhere, I had the dining room ready with chair and cushions and all the stuff and wanted to sit on the loo in the smallest room in the house with the heating off! MW made DH turn it on after DD arrived as she was number one priority then and needed to keep warm. Hopefully your legs will still be working so you could p'raps manage to get up/down the drive (assuming you do not have five mile drive on the way to your mansion)
FSF my Mum has to ship bacon out when she goes over to France I can order you some for when she next comes over if it is any use, she has a cottage somewhere in Brittany - not far from Le Man I think
NSL LOL at your pregnant woman strop; whilst away at the weekend I laid into some fairly harmless young lads who were throwing balls in the ball pool. Normally I would have just moved out the way but I let rip. It was funny though as after I had gone out DD was in there with her older cousin and saw some n=more boys throwing and shouted "STOP - naughty boys! NO throwing, dangerous!" DDs cousin thought it was hilarious and said loads of Mums looked round to see who was having a pop and realised it was a 2 year old that was the only one with the bottle to stand up to lads throwing balls. That's my girl.
Pink my but and thighs are growing quite nicely as well, I have a pair of H&M trousers that have started to cut into my bump as well - not comfy.
Welcome Susan to the chaos which is antenatal due in May.
PM hope you feel better soon and the dizziness wears off, glad DS is getting seen so quickly, I can't believe grandparents are being so pants.
JW great news on the diabetes front
MV glad awful things happened to the house you didn't buy serves them right, your diet sounds a mare but it must be better than the bad back.
