Due April 2007 - Leaking, squeaking and creaking into the final few weeks

[Ellieump]

I'm back

That was quick!!

I was busy running through the alphabet trying to think of other appropriate eaking words!!

And still im not in bed

i'd have spelt them wrong if i'd tried to put anymore in

I gave up worrying about my speling long ago!

You may have noticed!!

LOL at me mis-spelling spelling!!

Oh dear

there is truly no hope for you

Anyway must go to bed now or will be on here miserable and moaning all day again!

Night all, and dont stay away so long next time ellie, tis not the same without you

(Am bit worried about mis-spelling too but didnt want to draw attention to it, should it be all one word?? How many s's?)

Bugger you've done it again - just stop posting woman!!!!! I need sleep!

no

am chaanging my name, not gonna tell you the new one, you have to work it out

Hi Ellie, long time no see.. glad you´re back

Octopussy - I must say woman your mind seems to be almost permanently somewhere around gutter level. tut. tut. I can´t remember the outcome of the sperm debate i.e. if swallowing is good or not but not bloody likely I´d be giving that a shot at any rate.

I wish we were skiving classes for something worthwhile like a shag, this week it´s dhs boss´ wife´s new store opening and apparently we have to go (grooooooaaaan), next week is a better excuse - my big sister is here!! YAAAAAAY!
Don´t mind missing a couple of the classes though, the mw has gone on a bit lately about cot death and vaccinations and I think the next class at least is supposed to be much the same. Can´t really be arsed just now.

Off work today!! So pleased. Absolutely nothing planned.. might go to mum and dads and watch some Living TV once I finally haul my arse out of bed. Or maybe back to sleep...

Morning. Ellie, glad to see you back honey, sorry to hear things are totally crap at the moment. I know you don't want sympathy, but we are all here if you do need to rant or just need cheering up.

Sex? No chance. Not letting dh anywhere near me at the moment as am still totally pissed off with him. He has the day off today and has just taken Em to school but will be back soon. Left without even saying goodbye this morning the shit. Have been bawling my eyes out as I'm just feeling so sorry for myself at the moment. No real reason, but just feeling very alone & unloved right now. Tears plopping onto the keyboard. Someone please tell me it's just my hormones.

Dreadful tummy pains & diahorrea (sp?) yesterday & today which isn't helping. Not that dh will give a toss.

Sorry you´re not feeling too good Emmymummy. As for the tears etc it is definitely hormones I´m sure!! I felt so teary yesterday p.m. for absolutely no reason. In the evening was lying on the sofa and dh was massaging/ feeling my tummy and I just welled up. Not sad, or emotional, or upset or anything, was just little tears going plop plop plop. Really weird to have tears without any real reason (and I mean really really no reason, not I´ve got my period and I´ll cry if I bloody want to type of no reason) IYKWIM.

Morning ladies

Ellie - (Hug) - thinking of you (without giving sympathy of course )

EmmyMummy - I so sympathise with how you feel - that is exactly how I have been over the last week or so - just really emotional and feel that DH just doesn't get it....have to say - had a huge rant and said a lot of things we both probably didn't mean but it "cleared the air" as it were and things are better.
Feel such a relief though now I am finishing work on Thursday - I think that was just tipping me over the edge stress wise.

I caught up last night but promptly forgot everything I had to say....
re the nits...
General advice from our surgery is the best thing is slathering hair with conditioner to make it v slippy and nit combing to get the buggers out....chemicals etc are expensive and resistance gets built up to them apparently....I await the first batch of nits as yet we have been unscathed.

Right...Have appointment at local school this morning at 10am with James for a look around and meet the headmistress....I'm cacking it! No idea what to ask or anything...and Phil can't come so it's all down to me as usual! James isn't even dressed yet and he's not in the best of moods....sigh
At least I got some sleep last night - love to all

Thinking of Dooby and WO!

Ellie, good to 'see' you, no sympathy here Unless you want any, it can make you feel worse so i'll do as you ask!!!!

Emmy, bloody men, give him a slap!! I'm the same with crying etc and am hoping it's the hormones, men just don't knwo what to do. If hey give us a hug, we'll moan, if they ignore it, we moan!! Guess sometimes they just try to ignore it and hope it goes away!!

DD's new getting up time is definately 6.30, and i'm not happy, really must get the blackout blinds up and see if they make a difference. DH says not til the weekend! I'd do them myself but last time i cut them to size and they were too small so i'll make him do them this time!!!

Thanks lovely ladies, am so relieved it's not just me and all this crying is 'normal' (at least normal for 8 month pregant women). Am feeling a little smug as dh came back from dropping Em off but has had to go back as he's forgotten to take her water bottle in. Mummy would never forget the bottle .

MIABT hopefully we will talk about things when he gets back and all will be OK again as I hate this tension. Good luck with the school visit - I'm sure you'll think of things to ask as you're going round the school. I think you can just get a feel for the school by having a good walk round and seeing how the children react to the head teacher!

morning folk s- cant belive i have mised out on a whole thread. just another quick post.

dooby is still in hospital - had chst xray last night, ct scan this morning to check for luung clots. baby fine - active but poor old dooby still manages to send her love and regards to you all.

hospital yesterday - seems all ok. got all clear so headed to gig last night! dp had rang ahead and laid it on hot and heavy to venue so i got a special bouncer led escort through crowd to seated area. cold water brought to me all evening by smiling satff. the bean was certainly active - i think it enjoyed the Arcade Fire!

Morning all. Another crap sleep here. I end up putting the TV on at ridiculous hours as I just cannot sleep. Dh has been sleeping downstairs as I am driving him mental. Payback as far as I am concerned for the years of snoring I endure!

Eca, really pleased you have got yourself some time off. Hope you can now relax a little and put your feet up.

MIABT, great news about your ML. Such a weight off your mind, one less thing to stress about every day.

SOSPL, at your dh on the sofa while you cooked. Mine is like that at times but will then say "well you should have called me if you wanted help". Shouldnt bloody have to, you know how knackered I am.

Ellie, crap re stephen. Hope you are feeling a bit brighter today, but without any sympathy whatsoever!

Katy, lol at you and the toilet door! I am having problems with parking at the moment. Several times I have gone back to my car after shopping to find some git has parked so close to me I dont have a hope in hell of getting back in. On a few occassions I have had to get in the passenger side and haul my ever expanding frame across to the other side over the gear stick and handbrake - ouch! Not particularly attractive either!!

Emmy, hope you can sort things out with your dh today.

WO, glad everything is ok with you and that you had a good night out last night.

Thinking of you dooby xx

Glad you're all ok WO Tell dooby we're thinking of her. I had ecgs and chest x rays in my last pg due to racing pulse and all was fine in the end but very scary.

MIABT - dont think I ever came up with any questions for the teachers before dd started school, just chatted! And the head is a miserable old bitch but all the other teachers are lovely and its a great school.

I was sick this morning , felt like i might dislocate my jaw I was yacking so hard (tmi,sorry). Cant wait till i've had this baby and can stop being or feeling sick all the time.

Think im gonna have a sleep now while ds at playschool so hopefully will have some energy later to get stuff done cos i certainly dont have any now!

Morning Ladies,

Thought it was about time I posted rather than lurked.

Emmymummy - Totally agree with you, Allen has been lovely and attentive but I still find myself feeling teary for no reason. Hope you manage to have a chat with DH and clear the air.

Sympathy for those dealing with nits. I haven't had to deal with that with Jake yet, although when I was teaching I got them myself on a few occasions...yuk.

Elliump - No sympathy from me, but good to see you back.

MIABT - Well done you for finshing work a bit earlier, glad you're feeling happier. Hope the appointment at the school goes ok.

Weeonion - Thanks for the update. Glad all is ok with you and bubs. A gig good on you! Hope Dooby is ok and manages to get out soon please send her my love when you next text her.

I am feeling a bit more relaxed now about my section date, at least I know that I won't go overdue...sorry to those with due date envy. It's possible I might go into labour before then and if it does I'll deal with it. Getting a bit excited that in 3wks and 1day time I should have my baby and no doubt others will have had theirs by then also...it's all coming upon us quickly now isn't it.

Oohh also meant to say, congrats on your boy Katy Funny how all that voted thought it was a girl. Tristan is a lovely name.

Evidently cleaning the car is more important than talking to me this morning. . Going out to potter in the garden for a while, see you all later.

Emmymummy - aaaww - hugs to you. I can relate to the crying for no reason thing - I'm sure it is hormonal. Doesn't help that your DH has been 'unhelpful' (to say the least). Has the scooter been recovered?

SOSPL - Still laughing at the 'poor lamb on the couch' comment. So many men just seem incapable of SEEING what has to be done and taking initiative.

Katy - congrats on finding out you have a little boy! Tristan is a great name! (I'm a little biased because it is our chosen middle name!).

WCL - laughed (with, not at, you) about forgetting if it was 2006 or 2007

Had a 36 (actually 35+5) week visit yesterday and saw a doctor. Remember our earlier discussion about how measuring fundal height can vary so much from one MW to the next? Well, the doctor measured me as only 30cms (2 weeks ago, a MW measured me and figured I was 34cms). Anyway, the doctor wasn't really concerned but sent me for an immediate scan anyway. Baby is fine and moving lots, blood flow in the umbilical cord is great, all measurements normal, right amount of amniotic fluid etc... I wasn't really concerned but it was nice to have confirmation that everything is as it should be. Got to see a nice clear close up of the Bean's nose and lips - very cute - and the kind sonographer printed off a free picture of the baby's face in profile.

Can't remember who (Katy?) said every time they log on they expect to read that someone has gone into labour. We're getting to that stage! Very exciting! Not sure I'm ready yet, though.

Morning all - good to see you back WO - glad all is well. Send hugs to dooby xoxoxox

Not much planned today - taking ti easy - will catch up later

Well it seems we're all having problems with useless DH/DPs. They seem to live in their own world don't they?

Katy - congrats on the blue bean, would have said so yesterday but was having a few probs with internet connection. Like the name Tristan .

Eurgh...nits....I've started itching cos you've mentioned them!!!! Hope all of you having probs with them are getting sorted.

Think I might be cutting DH hair tonight...still can't believe he trusts me to do it. I just chop where I like and hope it looks ok . Nearly PMSL when MIL said it was really nice and much better than the last salon he used (we didn't tell her it was me...told her DH had been to Toni & Guy!!!!)
