Due in December 07 - look at that bump!

[buzzybee]

OK hopefully no-one else has started a new thread!

suey2 - yes, Cillian Murphy but spelled with a C - still not keen though

don't know what to suggest you ask your night nanny - in a way she will probably giving you more info than the other way round. I suppose the most important thing is whether you think she is the sort of person you will feel comfortable around given that she will probably se you with your boobs hanging out, sleep-deprived and hormonal!!!

Suey - have never employed a nanny but could ask if she has one of those bags with everything in like Mary Poppins?

hee hee claraq- wouldn't that be fab!

Thanks for the suggestions claraq - Ciaran is the name of three of DH's uncles/cousins so that would be a few too many in the family I suppose. John-Jo is quite funny though - sounds like a character out of the Waltons!

Really like the abbreviations for Isabella - Izzy / Bella - both lovely

Skid - names that I like but DH doesn't:
Nael
Sami

Names DH like, but I don't:
Omar
Daniyal (Arabic version of Daniel but pronouced the same)

Okay feeling really shitty right now, feel hot, tired, breathless and it is difficult to walk or stand up, think i'll toddle off home soon...

Ooh I like yours better amani - how do you pronounce Nael? DH likes Noel so that is close..

Perhaps I can come and work for you in a few years time when i move to London to do my degree?! I'm training to be a counsellor, but would like to be able to do massage as well. I've had enough of being a media whore!

I'm keen on the link between feeling unwell in the head which then manifests itself in the body. And vice versa.

Blah blah blah.

I'm eating a double chocolate muffin, my body is saying yum and my head is saying 'great'

me too. sofa beckons. plus chocolate. may as well eat it until i am told not to! gd results back weds

Suey2 - just get lots of good references for Nanny. I'm sure you will though.

And ask why she wants to be a night nanny, i mean, is she mad?!

go home mrs turtle and hide in your shell and rest up (and eat a choc muffin)

Thanx neuro, I think I may do that...

Chocolate muffins again! And I'm just having a tragically unaccompanied cup of tea. Would love a Kitkat!

Ha! A D is definitely not small, well not in my book anyway! I was a small A before i had dd, then went up to a B, a bit bigger for the first couple of months then stayed at a B-but much floppier and less pert than when i was an A. Was just thinking they were firming up and filling out again when discovered I was pregnant-so was due to pregnancy rather than anything else! Am hoping I'll make it up to a C cup this time-and stay there lol! Can empathise with breast envy-I've had it since I was 10 and still flat and my 9 year old sister was a B cup!
Thought about surgery but then watched a documentary on it and seeing how they did it put me off somewhat...

claireybee - lucky you in at least you got a bit bigger after having your dd - I went from a proper A-cup to a not-quite-an-A-cup after having dd - God knows what I'll become after no.2 (AA-cup, oh God I can't bear it) but I still couldn't contemplate surgery through a) fear and b) I think it would stop DH fancying me as he hates all things fake, esp. boobs

Re bf- After dd I lost a scary amount of weight. I walk everywhere, completely overdid it after the birth by walking into town and back (20mins each way)when she was only 2 days old, wasn't eating properly and was bf so she was basically taking whatever calories I was taking in-I didn't get stretch marks during pregnancy with her but got them afterwards from losing too much weight too quickly! This time I hope to be a little more sensible...

And names. We just don't agree on any! Think we have a boys name, dh actually came up with it when i was pregnant with dd but was saying he had gone off it. Think have persuaded him it's still a nice name though!
But girls names-not a chance!

Thanks Skidaddle-I am quite proud to now be a B cup!

I'm quite lucky clothes/bra wise I lost a couple of stone in the last year/ eighteen months so still have a few old stretchy items which now fit great, plus some 40dd bras which fit again (went down to 36d) Though am currently buying 40e nursing bras (dirt cheap £6 from bon prix) hopefully they won't blow up much bigger than that really hope they don't completely deflate afterwards. We have picked a name, Louise, and got too excited and got a nursery door name plaque made (so really hope it's a girl now!!)

home. tidied up. dinner in the oven. now precious 2-3 hours sofa time before DH comes home. luvverly. maybe a little snooze?
will i look back to now wistfully? I cannot wait for this baby to arrive! particularly as he/she is now very active indeed and the kicking is getting much stronger. Could do without him/her getting hiccups in the middle of the night, though!

Suey . I'm about to face the commute home. Then arrive home to my Mum who's staying at the moment. I love her being there, but I can't really relax properly and I'll have to cook the odd selection of food she's brought with her (moulding garden veg usually). Missing DH, he's still in NY on the piss.

poor you wizzska! It is lovely that people try to be helpful, but sometimes it just makes more work. I would be tempteed to suggest a takeaway

Thanks for the sympathy Suey. Right I'm off now to face the journey home. Hope everyone has a good night's sleep tonight.

Well I've come home, feeling a little better. Walking down site to my car was pretty bad, felt like babba weighs about 3 stone and when I go to the car thought I run a bleeding marathon not hobbled a few 100 yards! I'm just totally decrepit. Plus in car had throbbing pain in groin and top of right leg.
Feel like such a whinger...

{{{hugs}}} for all those aches and pains, you must be on the countdown to Mat leave too. What I wouldn't give for a big glass of Merlot on days like that. Suey, I hope you manage to sort out your employee probs, not what you want to deal with right now.

I am counting down the days to my mat leave and i still have 10 weeks to go - sigh!

I cannot decide about names at all...I still love Noah and William and Evie and Mary...ahhhhh so many nice names
