looby - eek the thought! It does happen though, I read a few posts on here from women who conceived on their first cycle after giving birth, could you imagine!!!
I have some VERY funny memories of DH and I 'trying' to do it when I was overdue, it really was hilarious, bit like a military operation, not v romantic, but needs must... it was worth a try at the time!
MrsMar - sounds like you've got a fun weekend ahead, you enjoy yourself I can't wait for 'normal' pretty underwear again. I've put on loads of weight, but I did when I had DS1 and DS2, so obviously that's my make up.
kalya I'm v excited for you. How fab to have that time to yourselves. Hope you enjoy it whatever you decide to you. You sound very creative with your sewing!
Pennypops, bet you're counting down the minutes until you finish work aren't you? You're right, there's something very special about washing those baby clothes for the first time, it's hard to imagine a REAL little baby wearing them! Your plans for the next few weeks sound spot on IMO, lots of reading and chilling out. Hmm maybe I should take some of my own advice... oops too late.... living in a bombsite
emj keep us posted on that breech thing! Not sure what position this LO's in. Lots of low down kicks.
MrsFish I'm with you on the weight gain, just go with it, down worry. I've been thinking about my hospital bag too. I'm sure I won't need it for ages yet, but you never know do you!
MrsMar, hope you manage to get your wedding ring off without having to have it cut , take it easy and don't overdo it!
amyclaramum, sorry to hear about the experience you had at hospital, v sad. ((hugs))
dal21, sometimes people just don't know when it's best not to offer advice or give their pearls of wisdom. Dur, we know it's going to be hard work, we know it'll be knackering but it is so worth it and very rewarding so bugger off please!
emalushka, they're all just jealous!!!!!!!
Edie, that's quite exciting, my boys were tall babies!! I'm watching you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kinki, you truly are between a rock and a hard place aren't you with the steriods and insulin. You sound amazingly strong. Re baby size, it'll be interesting to see what the measurements are for Weds, I'm intrigued. I have to say, I do feel quite uncomfortably big, I'm sure from memory I didn't feel quite this big last time. People keep telling me I have a neat bump, whatever that means. I'll keep you posted. I think I would be more shocked if the scan shows the baby is of ave size! Got my reputation to think of here! joke.
Well, I'm lovely and cosy in my bedsit upstairs, got all the mod cons, microwave, en suite, kettle, toaster, tv! This'll make you laugh.. a neighbour is away on holiday and said I could use her house, so I went round there this morning with the boys with a weeks load of washing. After 2 and a half hours of wondering why the water wasn't leaving the machine - I phoned another neighbour for help who told me the machine I was using was broken!!!!!!!!!!!! BY now it was starting to overflow My lovely neighbour's husband came to my aid and managed to drain the water and get my washing out. Said neighbours have done two loads, hung it out to dry and cooked us shepherds pie for tonight. I truly am blessed to be living in such a lovely area , v happy.
Only problem is, I took the boys to Tesco at 2:30 for a late lunch and I had a jacket potato, I still feel really full, don't know how much shepherds pie I'll manage later! Oh just remembered, I had one of those, woah that was close I almost threw up on the waiter moments on Tuesday. I remember a few of you saying you'd experienced that whilst pregnant. At the time I was conscious that I probably wouldn't get a proper dinner, so wanted to make sure I'd eaten all my lunch, which was massive... BIG MISTAKE... I've never in my life experienced a near miss public vomiting! Delightful!
This is a vvvvvvvery long post isn't it.
Hope everyone's well!
