Due in March 07 - going as mad as the proverbial March hare while we wait!

[LunarSea]

New thread before the old one explodes!

Wow Kitty, leaking milk at 7 months that is above and beyond the call of duty! I haven't leaked, i just got that feeling and feel very full suddenly but that has never happened to me before. Once the baby comes though, then I leak like mad.

Impressed by your milk production Kitty!! That must have been a bit of a shock!

Muppet - I'd like to know about those excercises as I've had a big tummy ever since DS1 and can't seem to get it anywhere near flat again...

Hi everyone else - can't wait until you join us on the other thread to talk about your amazing birth stories, stitches and sore nips

Seriously though, make the most of the calm before the storm

BTW I've e-mailed some pics of Monti in the hope that someone from my local thread may post them for me - but all eyes closed as they were taken on Monti's birthday.

DS1's eyes turned brown on his third day - Monti's changed on his sixth day. So I've got two brown eyed boys and a blue eyed girl. DS1 is dark skinned and DD is very celtic and pale, so hoping Monti will be dark too His brunette hair will probably turn blonde though...

Foxy, the pics are really lovely!! hasn't Monti got lovely chubby cheeks, the kind you want to squeeze . Hearing him cry today has made me a bit more impatient to meet mine. I'd just rather skip the labour bit

Thanks Kitty [proud mother emoticon]!

Totally agree re. the labour bit. Are they filming you again this time? You were remarkably calm in your last birth dvd - I screamed the house down last week!!!

Ok - so I have all of a sudden gotten over emotional and am turning into a warewolf.... I could quite easily throw plates against the wall, rip my curtains down and then go and curl up in bed and cry.

So with out any further ado and before I do someone or something any harm (Or just start to loose it with DH for looking at me) I am going to bid you all a very goodnight and retire to my lovely cosy bed with a tia maria in coke (naughty but I REALLY DON'T CARE) and watch some TV and hopfully at some stage tonight fall alsleep.

I don't want to think about babies, pregnancy or hear another word about pineapples, RLT or dam clary sage oil right now....

Breath 2, 3, 4....

I am ok, just need to go relax and calm myself down and try and find some patience from somewhere... Need to focus on my C-sec date (22nd) and not hope for anything else then I wont keep getting my nickers in a knot. Good night all you lovley peops hope you all have a good evening and get some sleep....

Mistiek sorry you're feeling crappy. And I'd sod feeling guilty about tia maria and coke! In labour, they'd cheerfully pump you full of drugs if you wanted so I'm sure at this stage a little tipple isn't going to hurt and might help you relax. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

Kitty when I was looking at the kids on their quad bikes I had a feeling I'd never had before: parental disapproval! I thought, "surely these children should be supervised?" I have been annoyed at the noise before, but never had a thought like that!

Foxy where are these pics, have I missed something?

I am sitting here listening to Radio 1's Top Twenty Dance Anthems Of All Time bouncing around on my gym ball. It's brill!

And my crumble was really tasty! And there's loads left! Can't believe it, I never thought I'd be able to make an apple crumble!!

Getting back to my gym ball... my bet is for Café del Mar - Energy 52 in the number one slot, but we'll see!

Ah I remember being young... so long ago now!

Well !!

It's at number two! So what's at number one then?

I don't think they've had Yeke Yeke yet... maybe that's it? Oooh I can't wait to find out!

(Listen ladies, humour me, this is about as exciting as my life gets atm! )

Bah Mossy, bouncing around on a gym ball to young people's anthems .
Talking of old ladies dp showed my passport photo (taken 8 years ago) to ds1 and asked if he knew who it was, cheeky git !!!! Ds1 said I looked older but still didn't have any wrinkles, bless, so diplomatic. Could have had something to do with the frying pan I was threatening to bash him with .
Foxy, she is filming. Infact she came round the other day , I thought to give me a video diary camera. Sje didn't have a spare one so filmed me with hers. God I looked like a rough old dog, dirty, mismatching clothes, scarecrow hair, well much as a usually do actually . I would have liked a little warning though! I am quite quiet in labour I suppose, screaming scares me actually, I think it has to do with losing control. I have over various births found that screaming makes things more painful and that contolled breathing is better.

Mistiek, sorry you'e feeling bad, hopefully you'll feel calmer in the morning.But hey, you've only got a week left, if I could guarantee that I'd be v, happy indeed !!!

Lol Kitty, bouncing around on a gym ball to "young people's anthems!" is about the best I'm going to get for a long time, I can't see me throwing shapes in a club again for quite a bit at any rate... and by the time I have the time / energy to do so again I probably won't have the inclination and will prefer a nice sit down and a lovely milky brew!

I was wrong about number one though... Barber's Adagio for Strings (DJ Tiesto, not William Orbit).

Glad I didn't place a bet.

I'm not that young any more though. This morning I found myself getting upset about a storyline in the Archers.

Ooh, I haven't got to the Archers yet, I'm a radio 2 girl during the week. But I left radio one a long, long, long time ago. I bet you lots of money that I've never ever heard of any of the songs you've been listening to.
All the kids are constantly coughing and it's driving me up the bloody wall (bad mother). I'm a bit of a short tempered lady atm.

Kitty my Dad was well into Radio 4 when I lived with my parents, I didn't listen to it for ages but recently got into it again. With all the useless facts I now know, I'd be great in a pub quiz (if I still went in pubs!!)

Dh is a Radio 2 person, when I was working I had to leave too early to get Terry Wogan and got that woman who is on before him, can't recall her name, sometimes I liked her but sometimes she annoyed me, so I listened to Radio 4 instead and got John Humphries being really rude to politicians instead.

I only listen to Radio one for the dance music, reminds me of my clubbing days... long, long gone sadly!!!

Sorry your dc's are still poorly. Are they all ill or are any of them okay?

Mossy, the 2 older girls were ok but dd2 is really grotty this evening . This cold is really rotton. It's like the worst day you have of a cold but it goes on like that for days. The boys and the baby have been ill for a week now and 2 of them show no signs of improving. The baby hasn't eaten for days, poor thing. Dp has it too and my mum. Me and dd1 are the only cold- free ones left. I'm snorting vicks first defence whenever I remember. That stuff's bloody fantastic for warding of colds.

You mean Sarah Kennedy. She does annoy me really, a bit too twee for my liking. Hats off to her for getting up that early for how ever many years she has though.

Anyway off to bed, night xx

Ah Kitty sorry to hear you're all so ill, I suppose it's a good job you don't have it as it's even worse feeling ill when you're pregnant 'cos there's so little you can take for it and you're tired enough already! Hope your dc's and your dp are better soon.

Yes Sarah Kennedy that's who, and yes, "twee" hits the nail on the head, that is what annoys me now I think about it.

Have a good night's sleep. I might have a bit more of my crumble then go to bed myself.

sorry to hear there is no movement for those of you fed up..... I am just looking at the 23rd as it.

Been hot here again - at 9pm last night it was only 27 degrees ( after a 37 degree day) BUT it was 85% humidity!!

Supposed to be 34 today - but they have forecast a storm for tonight.

I am just wanting choc in any form - choc flavoured milk, choc bars etc....

Off to see GP for 37 week check up. After consultant visit at 36 weeks - it is every week visits now to GP.

Mistiek - my dd2 who is a bit of a mummy's girl has become rather clingy in the last few days - wants mummy all the time - being very shy around friends and family. Took her a while to warm to my mum yesterday and her other stand in granny whom she adores.

Eids sorry to hear it's so hot & humid. You must just feel like pouring buckets of ice over yourself! I hope the storm cools things down for you a bit.

I can't sleep, I have a sore back. It's mil's fault. When we went out today, she said, "oh I'm glad your back isn't so bad, I've not heard you talk about it being sore for ages."

She clearly spoke too soon! It really hurts, no, not my lower back (not a sign of labour I mean) but just below my neck and particularly my right side.

So I've come downstairs to have a hot bath and a hot milk and if I can't sleep then I will decide between a Doctor Who DVD, or one of the Lord of the Rings extended version DVDs.

Right, my bath's full now so I'm going to have a soak... I think I'll take a book in the bath with me too. Why not.

Well, I had my bath, full of Radox-esque lavender soak, and scrubbed myself with a lavender soap too... about to have the hot milk and then I'll see how I go.

Anyway I've worked out whose fault it is. It's not mil's fault at all... it's Laidback's fault! You remember, "that moss she's on here loads less now she isn't in work"??? Well ta a bundle, now I can't keep off here 'cos I can't sleep!

Right the milk is kicking in, I'm going to try and go to bed now! 'night all!

get to bed

well saw GP - everything is fine.

After consultant carrying on about iron levels and how low they were and how I should have been on iron tablets - discover that perhaps she had someone else's notes. I never had blood tests done the date she has written in my notes and the last ones done in Dec and last week are great - silly woman.

Just hot and tired. Am off soon for a cooling shower and to lay under the fan and dry off - very cooling.

anyone about?

What a horrid night, first its the baby waking, then its a stray cat in the kitchen and ours growling at it, then a massive fight, then i need the loo then i just cant get back to sleep...went to bed at 10 and have been up 6 times, have given up trying to sleep and now watching crappy tv....who knows maybe i iwll fall asleep here!

So...it's been one of those nights I see. I probably managed 5 or 6 hours which is good for me at the moment.

Eidsvold I'm not surprised your iron is fine after all, you always seem so perky even in all that heat! Much admiration

Moss you are mad and funny as usual The bouncy ball sounds fun.
Myself and the kids sometimes have a disco in the kitchen but at the moment I can hardly walk...I'm surprised I'm still here actually, feel as if the baby is going to burst out anytime!

Fox Monti sounds absolutely delicious, look forward to seeing the piccies, is Paddlechick going to sort you out?

Mistie I was feeling like you yesterday...totally stir crazy and didn't know how to calm myself, but I don't think things will happen for me until I am calm though.

Kitty you are refreshingly unvain. If I was being filmed I'd have abandoned all duties to do myself up

Laidback wondering if you are having any 'signs' yet and what about the house???

40+1 (sigh)

Rosy, I choose to let my natural beauty shine through .

Sorry for all of those having a bad night, hope you manage to catch up on some sleep today

Mossie - I've been leaking very slightly (not enough for wet patches though) almost since day 1 - before I'd even done a test! Just a bit which is actually liquid if I'm in the bath and warm and relaxed, or if I tweak them, but they do get a sort of milky residue building up on them during the day.

I'm with the women who are turning to drink and not sleeping.
Up at 3am with my face stuffing a bowl of shredded wheat down it.
I said to DP last night at about6pm, I really feel like getting drunk tonight, and pulled a can of HIS ber out of the fridge.
He put 2 and 2 together and started bollocking me about damaged babies FFS
I just gave him a withering look and said I want a half a glass you arse.

Men.

Am at the truly pissed off stage now, losing my humour, which directly corellates to losing so much sleep.
Everything seems sucha massive chose
I asked dp to do 2 things for em this w/e
Clean the shower cubicle (as I cnanot) and mop the kitchen floor - I hoover and sweep but then am unable to mop.

Did he do either no - but his motorbike is clean, the hedge got trimmed and he removed a birds nest.

I know I'm being a pickey bitch but hey my list tof things to do today is this

Mop kitchen
tidy kitchen
ironing (small pile)
prep dinner early
That's it although weather loking fab so might wash some bedding...

Anyway I've been having BH's every 25 minutes since 11pm last night.

I'm sure they're doing good but god they are driving me bananas

Anyway hope everyone else is having a better day
