Morning ladies...looks like I've missed evening conversations again, only to be on here at the crack of dawn, and you've all been so fruity too. I seem to have gone to sleep an agile sylph and woken up as a weeble. Is it really possible I've expanded nearly 3 inches overnight? Is it really possible I've another 5 weeks growing to do? Informed DH that I'm going to finish with the spreadbetters this week and he seemed quite shocked that I'm planning on stopping work there 'already'...I wonder if it was actual (as opposed to virtual) prostitution would he still be telling me 'get out there, earn money'? Have to stop though, otherwise I'll be working on my other project (for a nice literary magazine) whilst in labour with bubs...and I reckon I deserve at least a week off with Ella before that. Maybe he just doesn't want me to send HIM back to work!

Morning all. I would never have thought of trawling the gay pix sites either - well done Holly, you are wasted on mere chat forums! (Bet you can't find semi-naked Top Gear presenters, on seconds thoughts, the dreams have stopped so don't bother!)

I am having a cup of tea with DH then he is sending me back to bed for an hour (in the hope that my swollen face de-swells before the hospital appt this afternoon). Was awake most of the night with DS2 who felt the need to lay with his eyes open and the light on (nothing wrong with him, just think he wanted to see what went on in the middle of the night.)

Have a good day all. X

Morning all..Hope you've all slept well and had good saucy dreams

Hello Nappyaddict, nice not to be the only newbie!

Reading though the post, laughed at H&A 'wasn't it that new claire lady'?

Been noseying at all the profiles, Derlor how gorgeous are your children (thats not to say everyones else aren't as they all are) just particularly good photos! and nappyaddict- you look far too glam and pretty, you make me feel old

Hope you all have a nice day planned.

Ow Ria....isn't a swollen face something to worry about?

god you lot...what are you like?...you can tell there's not much of the other going on in RL the way you were all drooling over that young semi-naked buck from prison break.....he does have nice eyes though, and a nice bod....

Sitting on the ball obviously worked atreat yesterday, as last night was the first nights sleep I've had since Christmas where I didn't wake up with lower back pain....wish I'd tried it earlier. DS, bless him didn't get up till after seven this morning as well so feeling fresh as a daisy (boom boom!!) and ready to sort this house out.

TH (to coin a foxy phrase) and I didn't speak at all last night and I banished him to the sofa. He's gone off to Boston for the week and didn't make me a cuppa this morning either like he usually does.....

hi Natty...you found us OK then. didn't think they'd bother moving dates at this stage in the proceedings. Hope all is well with you and LO though.

Sounds like things are gearing up nicely for you...you might not even make it to May 28th if your BH are getting painful. Drink lots and keep well

Hi ladies. Mystery solved. No more feedback necessary. Just be sure to post on the received thread.

As you were ladies......oh and Ria... haven't read what you posted but the responses I've seen suggest you need to get to the GP/MW asap!

Flippin eck you lot. Right, where were we...
Welcome to Flightattendant and new honorary member Nappyaddict, you can be our mascot .
N&T&E you're getting really close now, funny they should move your date by 3 days at this stage, glad you're sticking with us June lot!

Can't remember what was said now, anyway seems everyone is ok, just checking in quickly before getting back to work. Oh yes, any news from Doggus, Lilkel? Have been wondering too, she checked in briefly a few days ago with an update on having arythtmia (sp?), think she was feeling a bit down, hope all is ok with her.

Oh and I like Gabriel myself. Our dentist is called that, and it might be worth it as you say on the FIL annoyance front! Did your face go back to normal Ria, if not best get yourself checked just in case.

Not heard from doggus for what seems like ages, but in reality may only be a few days, the pace of things here.

It was mytwocents who doesn't have internet access at home wasn't it, not Doggus.

Anyway, if you're lurking chuck, let us know how you are.

Been wandering over the boards for a bit and have put in bids for potential name changes in the MN Nickname Auction to raise money for MileforMaude. Here's the link if anyone is interested.

Not sure exactly how it works, but people have posted saying they want a specific name so I've followed suit.

Thanks for your concern everyone.

It's funny, I was thinking (in the middle of the night when DS2 was looking at me) that I would like to put a soppy post on to thank you all for being here because I would have found day to day life a stuggle without being able to come on here and rant or just be generally vague and ramble away, and now I have good reason, so thank you for being my virtual friends.

I don't know if swelling has gone down or not, nowhere else is swollen and I haven't had any other symptoms so it's probably just being tired from too much sorting out and getting wound up yesterday. (It only looks so bad because I have quite a big nose and it swells up first - almost comical!)

Must go as on was to hospital appt in 5 minutes.

Hope everyone else well and happy. "Talk" later.

Just found out what the pets do when i'm at work all day...

Big boy cat stretched out in baby's new pram...
Little girl cat curled up in baby's new car seat...
Smelly dog stretched out on sofa with his head on all the cushions!

Bad buggers. Have shooed them all outside. Time for lunch I think! (mine, not theirs!! )
