Just quickly wanted to say EllieK - hope you're ok!

Try this for a bit of fun. Make sure you disagree after the first stage so you actually do the quiz. Turns out I'm a yellow square!

Katy44 · 04/04/2007 13:48

I'm a light blue square! (along with victoria beckham and daniel craig )

SOSPL - wonderful that you got a spontaneous cuddle from B. I don't have anything to add that hasn't already been said, but I'm sure things will get much better...very hard in the meantime, though.

Ellie - hope your monitoring app't this afternoon goes well and is totally reassuring. Let us know.

Just had MW app't. The baby is still totally free (not engaged at all) and I'm 39 weeks! hope this doesn't mean I'll be way overdue, faced with induction and so on. The good news is that the head is still down.

WO- lunch at riverside cafe, sun shining, sitting amongst the daffodils....all sounds lovely! Hope you thoroughly enjoy the rest of your day

Maveta and Octo and other real nappy lovers: Just got some lovely, fluffy nappies in the post (Bimbles and Fluffles). Going to try out a few before I place a bigger order. Very cute

Octo - I really thought this was it when I read your first message!! Sending 'strong, consistent contraction' vibes to you!!

I am a dark blue squiggle apparently, I like red triangles and orange circles. So whos one o' them then?!?

hotlipsmummy · 04/04/2007 14:06

I was a pink circle first time then a pink square second time. Both "fit" ish my character... Have sent to Dh so we'll see how compatible we are

mmk · 04/04/2007 14:15

that was fun - I'm a dark blue circle, mother earth type. That is soooo me. And, I have dark blue circles under my eyes, so how true is that then?

In laws due to arrive soon, help!

octo · 04/04/2007 14:22

Calmer now! Dh has come home early - nothing going on at work - he is such a calming influence on me! Hoping he will take boys to football tonight

Have written a two page presentation on why they should let ds2 in - just waiting to see if can get some techincal stuff on why he should go to same school!

Baby moving loads - adrenalin maybe??!!

Isabellymoi - ooh lovely fluffy nappies!

Katy44 · 04/04/2007 14:28

oooh octo - can't believe you're having to do all this!!

maveta · 04/04/2007 14:38

Hope all goes well at the scan Ellie! x

IsabellyMoi - haven´t seen fluffles but I´ve got a couple of the little bimbles and they are very cute.. enjoy!

Great day for tv here, weather held out long enough for dh and I to go for a walk together before lunch and now is dark gray sky with rumbling thunder. Perfectly matches how I feel today (not thundery..just lazy and want to stay in and do nothing!) Back to mum´s soon to watch crap on Living tv or the like. Been well enjoying America´s Next Top Model and, strangely, Spa of Embarrassing Illnesses. Where will it all end, I ask you?

octo · 04/04/2007 14:39

I love ANTM too! Think Caridee or Melrose will win this time.

Eddas · 04/04/2007 14:43

Well i am a pink triangle, a baby less one!!!!!

Just incase it gets lost in all the earlier posts. Please explain why i'm a cheapskate, it's puzzling me

Good luck to all those off to hospital and who need babies to stay in position or turn. Mine is still back to back. Maybe i should try the jumping thing!!!!How funny would it be if I did five minutes of jumping and then labour started, lol, bless my dear big sis, she'll learn

octo · 04/04/2007 14:43

am off to buy myself some chocolate and sit and eat it all in the car before get the boys from school/pre-school!

octo · 04/04/2007 14:44

I don't know either eddas hugs xoxoxox

maveta · 04/04/2007 14:45

I think maybe I´m catching a different ´cycle´.. it´s down to Naima, Kahlen and Keenyah on the one I´m watching. But it´s great anyway..just have to look at the names to see that!

octo · 04/04/2007 14:46

oooh I know who wins yours!

glitterkitty · 04/04/2007 14:49

I was a pink squiggle both times- good guess huh?

Got antenatal tommorow- to find out whether I'll be having c-s or not. Baby has managed to force his head past huge fibroid they think . Wish they could say for certain but at least I have a chance of natural birth now, so thats something . If its a cs is going to be a long tricky one with head surgeon, cos fibroids are right where they normally cut. Argh!

Am 37 weeks on friday, still obsessed with crunching ice. I'll have no teeth left soon.

octo- impressed by presentation- i'd probably just waffle. You must be so organised...

maveta · 04/04/2007 14:58

DON´T TELL ME! If I miss the final one I might ask you though!

Glitterkitty - good luck for tomorrow, hope all is as it should be for a nice straightforward birth x

weeonion · 04/04/2007 15:26

love ANTM - and maveta - yep - i know who won the "season" you are on. Octo - have you not heard who won the one we are watching???????????????

GirtWaspbElly · 04/04/2007 15:27

Another impulsive squiggle here too, although deep blue. The attraction signs are about right - wonder what DH is??!

Just had "Term" MW visit. She really recommended nipp stim as a way to get things moving (worked last time too), and as DH had come home for lunch, after she'd gone we thought why not? He's gone and I've been round Tesco's leaning periodiclly on my trolley thinking - "why am I doing this right now?" Back to the old personality test I guess - putting things off and behaving impulsively.

better keep on moving...4/4 is a nice date to remember...

Katy44 · 04/04/2007 15:38

GWE - you weren't doing nipple stimulation in tesco were you? Just thought I'd check

muminamassivetummy · 04/04/2007 15:53

Seriously...I just can't keep up when I saw nearly 200 posts I thought - I'll pst before I read back because by the time I've got to the end of that I will have lost the energy to type! lol

What a morning....one of those ones where you just feel like the worst Mummy in the world ever. James has been up the last two nights with ear ache and he is full of a cold and I am just finding it so hard to get through the day without being ratty and bad tempered with him. Everything is such an effort - I can't even tie my shoe laces and he just doesn't understand that I can't run around after him and pick him up all the time.

This morning was glorious weather so I decided (stupidly I realise) that I would take it upon myself to put up the trampoline that we got him for Christmas but which we kept back for the better weather....how hard could it be???
hmmm....it took me an hour and a blinking half with constant toddler interruption of course as he just didn't understand what I was doing.

When I finally got the thing together and was all smug and proud of myself I went into the living room to discover James had been having a whale of a time...crayoning the floor and Tv screen!!!
I was so angry with him, he knows better than that, but I was also cross with myself cos I left him to his own devices for so long...he kept popping in and out and I just thought he was playing when he was in the living room...which if course he was...just his own brand of art work. I shouted at him like a bloody fishwife and then felt hideous afterwards.
My patience is just ridiculously thin at the moment and I worry what it is going to be like when baby is here.
I wish I could stop being so fanatical about the house getting untidy - I know it doesn't matter and that it will clean up but right now I just want everything perfect for when baby decides to come.

Anyway, after I got rid of the crayoning...bless him he even said "sorry Mummy for drawing on your floor"....he got to play on his trampoline...and torture the poor cat by running around after him in the garden!!!
It's so lovely to have nice weather. I took him to nursery and he told me he was "going to have fun outside with his friends" - ahhhh
I have just sat out in the sunshine and read the papers and thought I'd pop on here for a quick update whilst I have the time.... Looking forward to this weekend as Phil is off Friday and Monday and then it is officially less than a week to go.....Oh My God.....

Off to catch up on everyones news now so apologies for lack of response to anyone else!

octo · 04/04/2007 16:03

Don;t tell me who has won this ANTM! I have it on series record!

MIAM - hope things are better with James

DH taking boys to footie at 5pm so can have bath - hoorah!

Feeling niggly ...

muminamassivetummy · 04/04/2007 16:09

SOSPL - HUGE HUG!!

Just reading yourpost about BEcky peeing on floor and I could cry for you as I just KNOW hoe tyou are feeling my love....

it is attention seeking I'm sure...just give her very little attention and tell her you are cross with her but clean it up - I find with James if I make a big deal of things he just keeps doing them for the attention.

Also whilst typing - YEY to ANGEG and baby Isabelle!! CONGRATULATIONS

Also pmsl about trampoline LAith....maybe there was another reason I was determined to get that bugger built this am!!! lol
