due in June - except for the lucky few who have already popped!!!

[derlor]

hello

I'll try and find it. Saw it last night. Are you going to try it?

I'm not sure what I find more uncomfortable... the thought of someone having a look and telling me how dilated I am, or the thought of my having a good old rummage and seeing for myself.

Perhaps I ought to get used to the idea that my body is no longer my own!

I'll give it a go....I never could stand surprises and it'll be nice to know whether these ontactions are actually doing anything....

I'm actually considering going to the hospital...they did say they'd want me in sooner rather than later, and OK they may send me home again, but at least I'd know things were moving in the right direction or not.

It's been quiet here today hasn't it...I hope seansgirl is alright...she's not posted sine Wednaesday!!

wheres the link?? daisey are you ok?

me OK?...I'm following you around your thread, LOL. Get yourself on the phone to the hospital...even if you just speak to someone and they tell you its ok...

i'm allright...thinking I'm in pre-labour and bored with it already...had 2 days of it so far and want things to either go...or go away!

my worry would be if I started poking around and started things off before my body was really ready, like giving yourself a sweep I suppose. Surely the hormones all need to kick in ... or am I just a wuss??

Nope, can't find it. Sorry! I have tried, honestly!

Just back from Surrey and managed to get the playhouse back without denting the car. T&G now playing in the garden in the rain so get to see if Daisy's had her baby . Hope the party's going well and that everyone is having a nice lazy Sunday...

PMSL at "lazy Sunday" Annobel!

Hope Daisy is holding it together (literally) at the party!

You lot are very quiet...I've had a 'lazy' sunday - spent most of it in bed. Still feel really knackered though for some reason...and somewhat dizzy. Back to bed for me I think.

For Ria thread about bump clicking.

Hi BZ hope you have had a good weekend.

Oops, just read your post and obviously not great! Get into bed and get DH to make you a cup of tea (raspberry leaf naturally!)

mustn't push it - he's just cooked a lovely roast dinner. Think I'll just put DD to bed, then I can be lazy with a clear conscience!

Take it easy BZ, time to rest I think!

Why does it always go tits up? I've been feeling really uptight this weekend, like I've a huge knot in my guts and I just want to SNAP!

So, I've really, really tried to keep a lid on it. Did loads of stuff yesterday with the children (had a meltdown with DS2 at breakfast so had to pull myself together). Today we've had a 'creative' day and have done loads of things, as well as a lot of my crappy little jobs.

Then in the bath, I watch as DS1 punches DS2 in the face. RRROOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

I've lost it completely.

Shit. feel like I've fucked up the entire weekend.

Evening ladies....well the party was quite a success, the only mishap being DSs friend, who is muslim, eating a ham sandwich . Just didn't occur to me and he never said anything, just tucked in...it was one of the other little boys aunts who was there pointed out that maybe he shouldn't be eating it! Felt terrible telling his dad when he came to collect him!

Any news from Trace?...She posted THIS earlier. I hope things are OK, she's had enough to worry about!

Not much hapening with me, inspite of DH trying his hardest to shake things up by driving over every bloody speedbump in West Yorskshire earlier today. Getting the odd contraction, but not terribly sore. think this LO just wanted to annoy her big brother.

Wow you're really honest Daisy: think I would have kept quiet about that little accident. Glad to hear it all went well anyway.

Foxy...aren't all little boys savages? Lord of the Flies only confirmed that for me - don't feel bad!

LOL about the LO annoying her brother! Glad the party went well. Is Mystic Red Ranger exhausted now?

And well done for holding it together! Wondering what DH will have in mind next for getting things moving

BTW, I always think its down to the parents to specify what their children can and cannot eat beforehand. Its unfortunate it happened, but not sure it was your fault!

Now put your feet up and relax. You musht be exhausted.

Musht? Am not pished, honescht!

We thought about it BZ, but the aunt who pointed it out is a friend of the family so no doubt she would've told them anyway....honesty is the best policy and all that!

Foxy...I caught up with Lulu on Trace's thread and she gave me tips on self examination of one's cervix....must give it a go later!!

He's in that hyped up on e-numbers and sugar zone and is cranky and crotchety and tired to bits but just won't settle....he's been put to bed, but I know he'll be up again in a minute.....

I'm here! Sorry! Seem to spend so long at hospital these days (been again today) and when I'm not there I'm constantly fretting as I pick up on everything they say. But, I am trying to stay positive and so far checks seem to be ok. Am also trying to take things a bit easier (difficult as you know).

Hope everyone is ok.

And BIG Congratulations to:

Lilkel, Natty and FannyAnnie

Love to all xxx

Glad you are OK SFL! Good to hear from you. Try not to fret. Must be hard with all the hospital visits. Whens the next one?

SFL...we were starting to worry about you...keep us posted!

I've not cashed your cheque yet but hope to get to the bank this week...I hope they'll cash it (nothing wrong with the check don't worry) it's just that DS kindly wrote his name all over it . It was in pencil and I've rubbed it out, but you can still see faint marks. We get on at him for not practising his writing enough so I didn't know whether to praise him or be cross. In the end I settled for "please ask mum next time if the paper is scrap before you use it but that was a great 'a' you wrote"

Hi girls,

LOL Daisy, KWYM abut the writing! I'm sure they won't mind. DD wrote her name on the TV guide the other day so beautifully (in biro) but then I realised she had also got biro on the new gloss work on the windowsill! I couldn't really shout at her (but now trying to make sure biros are out of reach!)

My next appointment is Monday for doppler, bile acid bloods and ctg monitoring, which will probably take 3 hours in total , I really can't complain as they are looking after me so well and they are checking and checking but I am at the stage where I can't wait for it to be over. At my last scan we were asked if we knew the sex and we said we had been told blue at about 28 weeks, the sonographer said , yes I'd agree with that next image on the screen a few seconds later and we all said "oh, theres no mistaking that" as a clear outline of a willy appeared!

Very ria tonight so not staying. (same old story - getting more boring by the incident, but doesn't stop me howling and my nose swelling up!)

Glad you checked in SFL.

Glad you're ok daisy and the party went well. Bless your DS.

Thanks for the link.

Hopefully the sun will be shining in ria-land tomorrow and I won't be fighting the ure to rip out someones vital organs with my bare hands.

Have a good night all. Rx
