Due in June - big tum, spreading bum

[derlor]

hello

Oh, and I'm another cradle snatcher. Me 35, DH 32 . This is our first. Met through work - I was writing for a magazine and interviewed him... eight years ago now. My, how time flies...

Welcome back Daisy, glad you had a nice holiday. I'd give up on trying to catch up it took me three days when I came back!
DD had chicken pox at christmas, they said to me that as long as I had had it then I should be immune. They did however test me and I was immune. I think you're right on the birth thing being the most at risk time, but I would phone your MW/GP for reasurrance. I think you should be fine.

On the measurement my MW and GP both use the tape measure and still manage to come up with inconsistencies between them, I would have thought she should be measuring you.

Well done Foxy for going to the gym (ahem) cafe to internet! What a rude woman she was! And other pointing! I hate that - its equally rude! But at least you have a new bezzie mate in the other lady There are some nice people around!

Holly, bloody Vertbaudet! Do they fit nicely despite being wrong? 2 weeks is a long time for delivery!

Have got to get off her how as DH and DD are coming on to Cbeebies instead of bed time stories! Aaaaah!! Sweet and DH has cooked tea and is currently 'brewing' in the oven. It is curried lamb and rice baked in coconut milk and has almonds and mango on top! Yummeroona!

Thanks for that holly......looking at pictures and looking at his spots, I'm not sure, but we were over at a friends today (whose DD was infectious last time DS mixed with them) and he said it looked like his DDs rash when it first started. We're seeing the doc tomorrow so will know more then.

Anyway...off to put him to bed after smothering him in calamine lotion then I'm going to sit on the sofa and eat chocolate...got a lindor egg and a Thornton's egg from DS and DH for easter...chocolate heaven indeed. Trying to recover from my weekend...we did lots of walking about from town to country and back again, and I've been so knackered I've been going to bed at 8:30...and yesterday I had to go to bed in the afternoon for a couple of hours (DH and DS went to an Aviation museum and drooled over spitfires and lancaster bombers!!)

Tomorrow I start the mammoth task of sorting out my house.....going to tackle it room by room and hopefully it wont take too long, then I can paint DS new room and then the nursery!!

hope you are all well....i feel like I'm about to burst and have been having BH contractions (didn't notice them at all with DS) some of which are quite painful (ouch emoticon) LO also doing very cramped somersaults and it looks like the alien is about to burst out of my stomach...very freaky to watch. Mostly active about 5am-7am, then again mid afternoon and again at 9pm-ish.

Lindor beckons.....

No seansgirl, they didn't really fit. I think it was because they were standard length. I'm sure you know that if you buy standard length then you get builder's bum because the us tallies have a long length between waist and bum! Everytime I sat down I exposed myself! I've ordered some 3/4 length in a bigger size, so hopefully they'll be ok. I'm getting desparate, I have one skirt and one pair of trousers atm.

Marylou I have a thing for peanut butter too! Sunpat super smooth to be precise! I can't stop eating toasted muffins with it spread all over.

I'm doing that too daisy. Room by room. It's going to take me ages! Hopefully dp will help me as he is a bit fed up with all the junk we have too.

Peanut butter - how lovely! I ate half a loaf toasted then smothered in the stuff this morning! At one point, I obviously got so carried away stuffing it in that it somehow got on the gym ball I was sitting on and then smeared all over my trousers...

Hey, don't knock it. You were sitting on a gym ball. In my book, that's virtually going to the gym. No wonder you needed all that peanut butter!!

Oof oof oof. That's it. That's all I have.

Oh, and I think my own brand of nesting has kicked in. I want to do a loft conversion and side return extension on our kitchen. Have even drawn pretty picture of what it'll look like when it's done.

Fortunately DH is a sensible sort of chap and has said 'no'.

PS....I'm 38 and DH is 39 (exactly 18months age difference). I met him almost 11 years ago...he was the best mate of a guy I was sort of seeing....sort of in that we would end up going home with each other a lot, but it wasn't what you'd call a steady relationship....anyway, met DH one night, then took him home with me the next for a night of drunken sexual athletics, then didn't see him for two months....he called me out of the blue and I couldn't even remember who he was ....after sorting that one out we talked on the phone for 4 hours, then I visited him in Leeds, crashed the car on the way and he had to rescue me (gibbering and incoherent and lucky to only have a few scratches and a totally wrecked car) from the side of the A1....and the rest is a very long drawn out and complicated history, but we finally got married nearly 2 years ago after being apart from just after DS conception until after his 2nd birthday. Phew, and you only wanted to know the age difference

Oh, and I realise that makes me sound like a bit of a tart , but I wasn't really.....honest.

.....and we're still best mates with my ex squeeze......

welcome home daisy! Do get some mild antihistamines for DS - it makes chicken pox so much easier for them (and us!).

Peanut butter tastes better out of the jar for sure!! I like a warm bagel smothered in it, with plenty of strawberry jam. yum yum.

but no, am not american! despite my references to Mom!!

The gym ball has become an essential part of life since becoming frightened that I may actually split in half at some point over the next few months!! Pelvis/fanana pain vvvvv bad . Makes me cross that I can't even walk bloody dog properly. DH has had to go and do it without me

That last post made me sound like a right twisty face arse!!

I apologise. I'm not really. Honest!!

LOL catkin, just misread your post and thought DH was off doing something else without you

on a more serious note, poor you. Does that stuff get better straight away after the birth?

off to eat toast with peanut butter and strawberry jam ....

Sounds nutritious to me. Peanuts = protein and good fats. Jam = fruit. Bread = starch.

Save me some?

PB&J!!!Mmmmmm! Dp thinks I'm a loser for eating it and is nearly sick everytime I have it!!

Oh shit, dp has just put the footie on, so I'll get no work out of him now !!

Marylou, I have no idea!! I really hope so. Some days its not bad at all and then others it's very sore! Still waiting for physio to call and arrange an appointment. I'm really worried about going back to work next week as it was horrendous just before leaving for Easter and the job's pretty physical.

Will make some PB&J for everyone! Also have goodies left over from funeral feast this afternoon if anyone's interested? Chicken leg? Slice of pie?
Or shall I just open the box of maltesers that my Grandad insisted I take "Just to keep you going". Bless.

I have nasty fanjo splitting apart pain too catkin. I sympathise fully, it is evil. It is the most horrible hurt and makes you walk like you've pooed yourself!

Apparently it does get better after birth, but maybe that is because the pain of having your fanjo actually ripped open cancels it out!!

lol I do walk like I've pooed myself!!

Dh back from walking dog. Had better go and make conversation for a bit!! See you all later! xx

Hope you are feeling ok after the funeral catkin x

aw, bless your Grandad Catkin! hope today was OK

marylou LOL at your major structural plans - presumably to be completed before baby makes his or her way into the world?

with regard to pain in the fanjo, I can only speak from the point of varicous veins in mine, but yes, it went straight away.

am definately 'oof-ing' a lot, also feeling like I need to poo all the time. and then there's the effort of going for a pee every 5 minutes for a drop.... I love my gym ball. It comes into its own every night, and its fantastic for labour.

Oh good, footballs on. DP wants to use the PC tonight! The impudence of the man!

seems all my children are up ... i could've sworn i did stories and good night kisses and cuddles ....

ha ha ha holly - there's a thread on 'what have you ever put in the washing machine by accident...' thinking of your mum
