Due in March 07 - Counting Down the Days Now....

[LunarSea]

New thread because the old one's about to hit the 1000 posts mark.

Oh Amie it's so irritating when people don't listen to you at the best of times in work, so when you're pg it's even worse, and you feel like it's personal, you poor thing!!

Sorry to hear about all your aches and pains.

Kitty - I think I may have to ask DH to sleep elsewhere if I pile anymore pillows in to the bed... but I do seem to sleep better past 6am - when he's got up! hmmm coincedence?

its a difficult one being PG at work! You don't want to make a fuss and use PG as excuse.. but then.. you just wish people would have a little more understanding about our weary bodies and emotional states!

Yes exactly, and I also wish people would stop assuming that just because I'm nearest the door that I am the receptionist! I'm staging a sit-down protest anyway.

Totally agree with your comments about work Amie!!

Moss - did you have a look [filthy snigger]?

Hi all

Hope everyone is holding up okay

The sun is shining here and I washed all the old under 3 mths clothes yesterday

It was very funny getting them out - I was convinced DS was going to be small so there are some 5-8lb babygros, they are teeny!!

DS was 8lb and 55cm so barely fitted in the newborn stuff as it was

TheBlonde - its quite Spring like today isn't it?

Good day for hanging newborn clothes on the line!

I'm actually getting quite strong Braxton Hicks!!!

Have what feels like a proper, quite painful contraction - alas only one every four hours or so.

Mossy - actually Uwila posted the DT video on the Meet ups - Sunbury to Acton thread (not Paddle).

Its called I'm too sexy (David Tennant)

Have a look then...

I have indeed had a look - ooh I'd forgotten just how sexy he was in Casanova!

I am going through all my old emails from dh today that have been sent to my work address, sending the odd few to my home address and deleting the rest. Just in case I pop early, you never know!

Some of them are hilarious and then other exchanges are really mundane:

Me: What is for tea tonight?
Him: I was thinking about burgers and gravy.
Me: That's nice, can we have those nice ones from Tesco?
Him: We've already got Asda ones in so I was thinking we'd have those first.
Me: Oh okay then.

What an exciting life we lead!

At least you two talk!!!!

I suppose.

We should probably be working though

CORRrrrrr phew, I never saw casanova,don't know if I could cope those snippets made me blush!

Fox even every 4 hours that is a bit alarming. I get constant braxton hicks every time I have to climb all the stairs. We really have all gone up a gear haven't we!!!

Moss lol at your dinner discussions

Moss - if its any consolation to you..

DH and I's convo for this afternoon via email

Him - I've got training tonight, anything you need me to do for tea bfore I go

Me - depends what you want for tea

Him - I really don't mind to be honest

Me - I can do a risotto type thing

Him - sounds good, anything I can do?

Me - not really as its a one pot dish

Him - I think I facny chinese to be honest

Me - can you wait till tomorrow, be quciker what with Parentcraft at 7

Him - suppose

Me - OK, that's sorted.

he's not repleid since (that took ages as i had to reverse it all!)

Oh Rosy you have to see it, I wonder if it's out on DVD. He's lovely in it!!

The meal discussions are boring. But here's one of the funnier ones, well it made me laugh but you'll probably think he's odd.

Actually he is odd!

I'm bored with our current house-based life-style. I am going to decorate the dining room in the style of an olde worlde pub for the weekend to try and trick myself into thinking I'm out and about. Can you see if you can find me an old man to sit and drink real ale near the hi-fi. I'll see if I can get my hands on an eclectic juke-box with 5 Hammond Crazy CD's on it. I spoke to Merlin this morning and he's ripping up the carpet and sanding down the floor beams. Arthur's picking up some wooden chairs and tables from Futures. Ziggy's picking up three or four casks of real ales but I didn't like that gleam in his eye when I handed over my credit card. And, all three of them said they'd work their way through 60 Camel cigarettes that I left this morning in order to get the smell as authentic as possible.

Oh, honestly, if you want something doing properly...

Merlin's just called, he's hired the beam sander but is too scared of the noise to use it. Arthur's landed back with the Futures van, he's bought a double bed, a glass display case, a futon and a small bag of beans. Ziggy's saying he's lost the credit card and so can't get the beer but Merlin can see a Whiskas van parked outside the back. I despair. Don't you let me down with the old man or I really will be cross.

Amie that's more like it.

I wonder what a stranger would think about the contents of our respective inboxes?

I have deleted all but a choice few now , there was over two years' worth in there!

Moss - can't compete with that... DH has the imagination of a wet flannel at times!

Oh and the training he refers too... He manages a women's football team!

Amie I just assumed he was referring to going the gym, you know the way some blokes like to big things up into more than they actually are! I didn't realise he was actually doing proper training

Moss - LOL.. he goes swimming once or twice but that's all he does these days.

Not sure he actually does a great deal himself when he does his training sessions with his ladies. I know he makes them do something called "DEATH BOX"

Right what the hell is death box it sounds really scary!

Moss - I have no idea... not sure I want to know. But I guess I may one day if I start playing again.

36 Midwife appointment. Umming and ahhing whether to take my Strep B kit with me as she offered to do it... but I'm embarassed as I've got a spot on my bottom...

Do I try to do it myself... or stop being a wuss and guess that's she probably seen worse than a spotty botty!

I'm finding myself getting worried and worked up over the most irrelevant things at the moment!

I'm sure she's seen worse things than a spotty botty.

She's probably seen quite a few ladies' death boxes

i typed a really long post earlier and then the site crashed

i have to catch up yet but i just wanted to point out that i didnt actually look at those pictures on that thread,i was just highly amused at women going on like a load of dirty old pervs,it was a refreshing read

i had a dream last night that moss,rosy and i were in apub drinking guiness on st.patricks daywe'd all had our babies,moss and rosy's were being looked after by ron weasley.we ended up gettign thrown out after a run-in with the landlord over a slot machine(?)and went on to see a stage production of little shop of horrors.

i blame the hormones....

34weeks today

Diva lol how funny! Ron Weasley, was he doing a decent job of it?

I'm not sure I'd ever send Bertie to Hogwarts though. Have you seen those staircases for a start?! There's definitely Health & Safety issues there, I wonder what their last OFSTED report said?

thanks 4 all good wishes. we're in a state of slightly optimistic limbo right now. The doctor said today the radiographer had looked at the x-ray and couldn't see any obvious sign of the condition but there was one either x-ray or cranial seam, not sure which they meant, where it looked like the plates were overlapping so she wanted an expert to look at the xrays. We should get a report back from them by tomorrow but even then he may need a CT scan to get a final answer. So while it's so far good news, it's not certain one way or the other.

On a lighter note, Jordi had his first bath today. I watched while the nurse showed me what to do so I'll be doing it tomorrow. He did squeal when he was first put in and when he was actually being washed, but when he was just sitting in it he was quite happy so I'm hoping he's going to like the water. I'm trying to feed him twice a day, and while it's a bit frustrating cos I don't always get him latched on, and when I do he tends to fall asleep after a while, today I know for definite he did get some milk because when he was having his feed through the tube in his nose afterwards,the nurse always has to syringe up a little bit from his stomach to make sure the tube's in the right place, and she drew up milk he'd just got from me which was very encouraging. He's still not getting much that way I wouldn't say as he only sucks intermittently, but little by little!

Kiwi, very belated happy birthday. It was mine on Saturday and I had a fab day (before all this worry started of course) as spent the afternoon with Jordi and my mum and sis while DP entertained nieces in the park, then we all met up in the hosptial concourse and had food, then in the evening I was actually going out for a meal. I thought we were meeting two of our friends there at a surprise location - turned out the surprise was loads of my friends waiting for me underneath a balloon encrusted ceiling at local restaurant. Couldn't believe it when I walked in - DP and a friend of mine from work had organised the people between them!!! That's never happened to me before and it was lovedly. I wish someone could have taken a pic of my face when I walked through the door. It made the two halves of my life - before and after Jordi - seem more unified by seeing people somehow. I was knackerd the next day though!!! Still had to get up to express as usual through the night.

Sorry I'm not commenting on other people's goings on much. I am reading and taking note where I can. Leo, just in case things moven faster than expected, good luck if you do haved the twins early in case I don't get to you in time again!!! And foxy, keep an eyemnon those contractions....

Love to all, Callie and Jordi xxx

Ah Callie it sounds like things are at least looking a bit more positive now, I am still keeping everything crossed for you. And happy belated birthday, your party sounds wonderful.

pmsl@your dh's email,moss.i dont get emails cos dp and i aer together all day more or less,though he very kindly recored me a personal ringtone on my new phone,of him saying 'answer your f*ing phone' in a stupid voice.it kind of ruined the atmosphere when i got a phonecall during my councelling session yesterday.

ive been getting really strong braxton hicks today,mainly when i walk anywhere,and the baby feels really low down again.

i dont remember painful breasts at this stage of pregnancy before,is it normal?they feel like when im going to get my af but ten times worse.
