This do scorpio?

Hi Scampmum - sorry to hear you're having another tough day. I cried yesterday watching neighbours .

TA and bainmarie - congrats on scan. Maggie (my best friend's name) is great, and DH's top girls name at the mo is Megan.

Peachy- I can't believe you're 24 weeks! I'm only about 14 or something (lost count some time ago). Your ds is going to weaned by the time I get to the hospital!

I feel really sick.
We had lots of mini chocolate brownies left in the cupboard, so I heated them up and ate them with cream for breakfast, after I ahd eaten a packet of scampi and lemon niknaks.

That's quite a breakfast! But according to the april thread nutrition rules, the lemon in the scampi niknaks plus happiness in the chocolate means LO will be very healthy

Don't forget the calcium in that cream and milk and eggs in the brownies!!

you forgot the calcium in the cream and maybe good oils in the nuts? not to mention that chocolate grows on trees so each brownie = 1 of your five a day.

I had a starbucks cheese and mushroom panini as I didn't get a chance for breakfast (always eat it at work as get in at 7.30) until 10.10 and they had taken the toaster away in the canteen - didn't fancy the cold hash browns. £3.75, though! and that's having already splashed out £1.95 for a hot choc at the station as I was early for my train. Have also eaten both satsumas and both apples that I brought in. Oh, and now it's time for lunch!

VS - great minds (so now I have to think of an excellent Christmas name!)

I am SO glad everyone has a sensible attitude to food here, and understand why chocolate is not just nice, but a healthy essential.

I want a Xmas name but can't think of one. How can EllieG be made christmassy?

Just the right amoutn of letters too.

Ooo make one up for me too pleeeease...

Blimey, just looked on pregnancy calculator thing and I'm 19 weeks. That sounds quite pregnant! I'm so used to being really far behind everyone else that I just assumed I was still on a small number...

Santa's ElfieG, maybe?

We are moving next week to Fulham, anyone else around there? I managed to swap to the local NCT classes so that's cool.

Congrats on your girl, ToastAddict. Maggie/Megan is lovely.

Scampmum, good luck for tomorrow and have lots of chocolate today.

Upto you if you want to add the G on the end.

Glad we're talking names, can I just check I know who's who?

VS was Lorayn Santasnotsolittlehelper was tlsm

Was SuzeM smcg?

And has Lemonaid changed her name or just not been on for ages???

Hi all. I can totally understand the crying thing at the moment. I am just trying to psyc myself up for a show down with my boss at 4pm. She makes me feel like I am totally incompetent almost all of the time - yesterday I just went home and cried all night.

My problem is that I have to come back to work after the baby and I really enjoy working locally now. I can look for another job but that will mean travelling into the city and wasting anoter hour and a half a day - I just don't know what to do

Santasnotsolittlehelper is Soph73, I haven't seen Lemonaid around for a while, and the others are correct.

Sorry, I did know it was Soph, just got it wrong when I typed!

Too much thinking today....

I'm still me but you know that now anyway! am going to think of a christmas name! Maggie is my niece's name i wasnt sure about it when they named her but now I love it!

cant wait till tomorrow as dont work Fridays saying that i have only worked yesterday and today roll on 31st March as it looks like I will be induced on the 14th April so will leave work 2 weeks before just need to get it confirmed my the consultant which means I will have by little man in 18 weeks how scary and peachy you yours in 16 its going so quickly

TLSM, that really is quite scary , that means my little man shoudl be ready to join us in about 16 weeks (EDD 2nd April)

Hi Scampmum, if you're there. Just writing to wish you luck for your meeting...try to save the tears for later, if you can. Otherwise, pretend you got something in your eye good luck!

Calling all Tube users..... I've just been looking around some of the other threads and found this

thought it may be or use to those based down south

i get to go home in 50 mins, wahoo!

Scampmum - good luck with your scan tomorrow. I can so empathise with your tears - I was exactly the same yesterday. I am SO relieved today. Everything was fine with our scan and all bits were in the right place. Our hospital doesn't tell gender so I have to wait for my private scan in January for that. What is your DS risk? I'm not sure I know about that?

Toast - I loved it when we were finally able to call our DD "she" when we had our gender scan last time round. It makes such a difference - I know it's not everyone's preference but it works for us.

Hi everyone,

I've just looked through all the messages of the past few days. A lot to catch up on. We moved early this week and I have been running around like a lunatic.

SuzM: I live in SW London and I'm signed up for NCT classes somewhere near the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital which is where I'm giving birth.

We have pretty much chosen a name for our little girl. It's 'Ailish'. I really like it but you can all be honest on what you think. I'd love some feedback. Irish people know tha name well but it's not well known elsewhere.

scorpio - I'm very envious . I'm just out of a 2 day training course and now have heaps to catch up on!
