derlor · 23/05/2007 19:30

delighted - thank you
God knows where it's been on it's travels but at least it's arrived safely now xxxxx

playboy channel on sky is free, he can have that.

I don't even want to see that sausage let alone let it near me

Holly, boys need one pair of sandals for the summer and one pair of wellies for the winter. Both of which can be second hand.

Girls need lots and lots of new shoes which probably don't really fit and can't really be worn. Emily's come from H&M where they are cheap and plentiful and oh so cute.

hollyandalice · 23/05/2007 19:33

I've just bought her a pair of pink sandals from vertbaudet, they are sooo cute! Maybe as I'm having a boy this time Alice can have as many shoes as 2 girls! I love H&M shoes because you get matching outfits to go with them! Brilliant! I look like a tramp, but my dd looks like a spermodel!

derlor · 23/05/2007 19:34

why oh why am i sitting here drinking fresh mango and pineapple juice when i am clearly NOT ready for this baby to arrive - FFS i'm now trying to speed it up and deny it all at the same time..........HHHHHHHEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPP

kittykitt · 23/05/2007 19:35

I know trendaverter - i've been with dh for 11 years, lived together/ married for over 9 of those.
HOW weird that it's not just going to be the 2 of us any more.
Foxy - putting RESPONSIBLE in CAPS doesn't make me feel any more adequate

trendaverter · 23/05/2007 19:35

Derlor I feel your pain, am just the same... want it out...but don't want it out

Sadly I think though with you at what 12/13 days to go and me with 10, not a lot of choice at this stage

hollyandalice · 23/05/2007 19:37

Re. an earlier thread title, can we employ nannies to have these babies for us? Surely that would be much easier!

trendaverter · 23/05/2007 19:40

Yes I will miss the whole 'just the two of us' intimacy.

I am sure having a baby will be wonderful - everyone says so (except my bro but then his 2 kids are evil, truly).

But still, I like just me and him. I'm not really ready to lose that...but then again some days I think I am. All a bit confusing.

derlor · 23/05/2007 19:42

it's not actually the birth bit thats freaking me out tonight it's the new baby responsibility - i really need to pull myself together FFS i've already got 2 beautiful children and i managed with them, don't know where this sudden fear has come from. (slaps own face and starts counting blessings....1,2,3,....)

annobal · 23/05/2007 19:44

If only it were so easy, Holly! I'm actually starting to feel quite afraid of the birth - so scarey knowing that you HAVE to go through it. Anyway, nuff said...

annobal · 23/05/2007 19:45

I'm actually looking forward to that bit Derlor - you know, the sleepless nights, the crying, the fights, the sore norks, the inability to sit down...

It's the birth that's really scaring me!

trendaverter · 23/05/2007 19:46

You have 2 already?! Pah shame on you for being afraid

I am not scared of birth either, just the huge changes.

This is my first. DH over the moon - me mostly ambivalent (ooh I know I mustn't say things like that). Oddly though before I was PG I wanted it - when I found out I was, I got terrible cold feet, I even did 17 pg tests just in case they were wrong lol.

I'm ok now, come to terms with it all, depression gone, just kind of que sera sera now.

Of course I feel like a biatch as my older sis has been trying unsuccessfully for 10 years.

hollyandalice · 23/05/2007 19:47

I'm only scared of one bit...when the head come out and it feels like burning and you can feel the tearing, but you can't stop it! OOOOWWWWW!!! That bit is nasty!

trendaverter · 23/05/2007 19:48

thanks for that, feel much better now

hollyandalice · 23/05/2007 19:49

Trust me, it is scarier second time round!! The first one passes in a wave of ignorance!!

derlor · 23/05/2007 19:51

thanks Holly for that graphic description - LOL
to be honest this LO will probably spend most of it's 1st few weeks sat in the corner on a bouncer watching me play with DS and DD who will need the MOST attention!!! - don't know what i'm getting in such a tizz about plus DH only works 2 out of every 5 weeks - right i've sorted myself out - NO MORE MOANING FROM DERLOR!!!!!! - (pours another mango and pineapple juice )

annobal · 23/05/2007 19:51

Ah, ignorance - be nice to go back...

I didn't mind that bit too much Holly, it was the contractions near transition phase that HURT!

kittykitt · 23/05/2007 19:52

Stop it Holly - i'm still having nightmares about that crowning scene from the video at AN class
Trying not to even think about the pain of birth.

On that scary note i'm off to make dinner.
Nasty DH definitely won't let me have wireless access now after farking Panorama, so i have to trudge up the stairs to the office every time i want to use the pooter.
Legs weary tonight.

Have a good night y'all

trendaverter · 23/05/2007 19:53

am I the only first timer here??

annobal · 23/05/2007 19:53

Ignorant question alert - what are do mangoes do? I have been eating them by the bucket load (they're one of the things I actually CAN eat)?

hollyandalice · 23/05/2007 19:54

Oooo yeah annobal, they are super horrid!!

Sorry to have scared you off kittykit! Maybe we should stop talking about the hideousness of labour and get onto the subject of wonderful newborns!!

kittykitt · 23/05/2007 19:54

No TA, I'm a know-nothing first timer too

derlor · 23/05/2007 19:55

Oh Foxy told me that her pharmacist recommended mango juice for getting labour started - worked for Foxy - helloooo foxy you still here?????? (doubts self now, it WAS mangos you said wasn't it????)
