Due in March 07 - Numbers starting to dwindle now - will anyone outlast this thread?

[LunarSea]

Yet another new thread, because just like all the remaining posters the old one is about to go pop.

txt from my funny sister who has clingy 1 year old.....
"There's a clingon on my starboard hip, starboard hip. Its worse than that he's wingeing too, wingeing too. child minding across the universe, on the starship depression under captain stress. How u?"
Remember that song? I told her to call for dr who, she will be tuned in on sat....my sister reminds me of someone on here...I wonder who it could be????

Rosy pmsl that's hilarious!

Can't imagine who she reminds you of. Sounds like a right weirdo to me!

Took dogs out, managed fifteen mins not much but I don't feel so guilty now. Going to eat some dinner, tidy and possibly have a lie down before the mw later.

why is this thread still much busier than the post natal one if there are only 5 people left on here???

i havent read all the posts on here(dp and i have been sharing a pc for 3 days cos his is unwell ),but i hope you are all ok and much munching of pineapple and saveloy is going on

mmm saveloy.its dp and i's 1 year anniversary(of being together)today so maybe i'll treat myself to some saveloy later

Have just spoken to a friend and arranged to go out for dinner next Tuesday evening if I'm still around. Which is hopefully a surefire way of ensuring that things kick off then even if they haven't before!

diva - because we've got nothing to do except chat and get obsessed by the slightest sign, wheras you're all supposed to be fully occupied now!

Diva I'm glad to hear things are better now with you and your dp. Hope you enjoy your anniversary!!

Lunar's right, well I've certainly precious little to do anyway other than obsess about early signs of labour!!!

Diva !! Congrats on your first anniversary .

supposed to be fully occupied...yeah,cos im still trying to teach myself to ignore the baby

i'm of you all still having time to seek out kick-off threads and get stuck in!oh well,only a few more weeks and Elsie will be going to bed at 7.30 like the rest

if anybody's very bored then any contributions to my 'ive gone loopy'(really called post-natal anxiety)thread would be greatfully recieved.its the first time ive managed to post on any other topic since giving birth.

hi guys, just crashing in from nov post-natal!!

i was in the last 5 too, it's crap isn't it!! (and we were always much busier as they all had better things to do)

so i just wanted to wish you all fab births.. and any of you that 'pop' on saturday will share my birthday.. it's a fab day to be born (it's alway payday for a start!!)

Diva, I dunno, I guess it's 'cos we've got to the mad rambling stage . Savaloy sounds good !!!!!!

I've got fed up with being preg now. Not in that "I can't wait for him to be born" way, but in a " I can't be bothered to think about it or the birth or anything to do with preg" sort of way.

Every morning I, when I wake up, just for a few secs I completely forget that I am preg. It's great. Then I remember that I still have to give birth

I've been reading through and catching up but have to say that you ladies who are waiting are doing so well!! I keep checking in to see who is next

where is it Diva?? I should be sleeping but am awfully nosey .

I feel all nostalgic about this thread, I got so much from moaning with you lot here throughout my pregnancy. Honestly, kept me relatively sane, t'was loads of fun....
Of course the other thread is a whole new era of moaning about sore nipples and flubbily bellys

congrats to everyone who's had their babies since I last posted -
laidback - wow! fast labour!
lovely name chocpenny.
bet your dd's are cooing over the newborn, eidsvold.
thinking of those who are still in the last days of pregnancy - good luck everyone.
everythings going amazingly well here apart from horrendous cracked nips that are murder - wish I'd bought that lanosil stuff earlier. dd got weighed today and is up to 8 6 from 8lb only 8 days ago, so perhaps that explains all those cracks! honestly, my last 2 were never all this trouble with painful nips. but she's very good (is this girls for you?) and sleeps a lot
hope to post again soon

Had my mw appointment, asked her about those mysterious "pains" this morning, she said she thought it could be my cervix effacing / ripening, that sometimes it can feel like you really want to poo as your cervix softens and his head presses down more.

If so, that's a good sign, surely?

She said that if he hasn't come by Monday I should call the hospital to make an appointment for 40+10, for them to do an internal / sweep (don't mind a sweep, but no thanks owt else). This will be the day after my thirtieth birthday! I told her I didn't want to be induced and she said they wouldn't start putting pressure on me until 42 weeks. To be honest, by 42 weeks I might be asking them to induce me!

So please, some more labour vibes! I want him to come before my birthday!!

kiwi-its in the feeling depressed section

mossy-sending clary-sage scented,saveloy+pineapple flavour labour vibes your way

you dont want to be induced,in fact,i think everybody should have nice natural home births now after finding out ive got a nasty infection

all the sore nip talk goes straight over my head

Diva, I have to say, those vibes have an, er, interesting scent!

Although you've made me think now... I might actually go and have a clary sage bath!

Mossy, sending you lots of labour vibes

My bl*dy 15 month old baby is driving me up the fr*ging wall. I've NEVER known a child SO young be SO naughty.
She used to be an angel, what on earth happened to her????

Any new ones yet? Just dropping in to add a link to a website my husband set up, its Ted and me after the birth.
www.jamesmcadam.co.uk/ted/TED/Home.html
having a rare moment of quite at the mo so off to dig out my expresso machine.

Aaaah!! Lovely pics Chocolatepenny. Ted is gorgeous.

Chocolatepenny, you look lovely and how cute is Ted!

kitty-IME girls dont go through the terrible 2's,its the terrible 1's!i have been watching my darling angelic dd2 wondering what happened to her...she keeps fighting with ds2 and today i changed Elsies nappy,turned away for 2 seconds to put the nappy in the bin,and when i turned back dd2 had pulled her off the changing mat.oh,and at bathtime she threw a full jug of water onto the floor.

as dp keeps reminding me,she's no longer a baby,shes a toddler.

Diva, I'm glad your having probs too iykwim!!!!!
We have taken to calling dd3 'gnasher' as she goes round biting and fighting. She climbs up on the kitchen table and throws cutlery on the floor, draws on walls, makes constant escape bids out of the house and then garden. She goes into any unlocked drawers and cupboards in the kitchen and empties the whole lot on the floor. God knows how I'm going to deal with her once the baby arrives.

Chocpenny, Ted looks really cute

im lucky that dd2 hasnt started walking yet!the playpen is an essential item i find,as are ds and dd1(especially at bathtime).looking back,i dont know how the hell i managed with an 11 month old and a newborn on my own(xp was either at work or just useless).im quite impressed that i didnt end up being sectioned

Diva, I was thinking that today.
I didn't have an 11 month first gap, it was 14 months, not quite so bad, but still tricky. I think it was because I only had 2 kids. Dp and I weren't living together then so I felt very much alone and he was working all hours. You can cope with 2 kids. I and I don't remember ds1 being as naughty as dd3. I think mine get worse
