Due April 2008 -The one where SCORPIO GETS MARRIED!!(and we get virtually drunk)

[VictorianSqualor]

Thanks scampmum, i do try!

nails are fabby!

just a thought, we were thinking of just using the Carry Cot from our Travel system (not got it yet)for Lo to sleep in for the first few weeks, is there anything wrong with this????

i know i could use the carrycot from my loola for a bed, so maybe yours is the same?

I think some you can and some you cant (not supposed to) the manuals should say.

Hi all,

I hope everyone is well and good luck for Saturday Scorpio

I am having a really rough time at the mo. I just can't stop crying - it started with hubby announcing he was off on a stag do (when baby is 16 weeks old) in August and I haven't stopped since. Anybody got any advice on how to stop?

Alsi went for a 3D scan on Sunday which was Fab! Sill don't know what it is although I am desperate to find out now

Scorpio - you'll still be sparkly tomorrow ... just on your nails maybe, but sparkly all the same! Have a fabby day and try to chill out and enjoy it. If something doesn't go as you planned, It's likely that people won't notice - they'll be too busy enjoying the day. I found remembering that really helped me keep things in perspective at our wedding.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT for your photos!!

V1kk1m - are you crying because you're hubby's going on the stag do, or is it that hormonal, uncontrollable crying that you have? Sorry to hear you're having a rough time.

What's all this talk of photos??
I've hired a minibus, we're off to Cornwall ladies

V1KK1M - many hugs to you lady x

Has your DH noticed your crying? Have you spoken about feeling lousy to him?

My tummy hurts! I've eaten LOADS today for the first time this week (have lost 2 pounds this week as couldn't eat much) and now it's so painful!
Have had:
cereal bar
packet crisps
sandwich
lots party food that someone in office has bought in for birthday

ouch ouch ouch that'll teach me for being greedy

Going for ultrasound of gall bladder tomorrow - really hoping they'll find something wrong with me now so they can make it go away!

Hi AllWelcome back, Scorpio - we missed you!Don't worry about a thing on Saturday, just enjoy!
Sorry to hear about the crying, V1kk1m. It's awful when you can't stop. Crap telly or a bad book normally stops it for me - or have you tried chocolate or shopping? Don't worry about the stag do, at 16 weeks, you'll be able to cope with LO - and maybe you could arrange a WE away with a friend as well?

For the hospital bag stuff, don't forget to fit car seat, (or preferably get dps to!) if you are parking at hospital for duration - plus change for car park...

Is it true about cold feet in labour? After having epidural, I couldn't feel my feet

VS, excellent Idea when is the mini bus leaving

Dreamt I'd had a boy and was pushing him around in a car seat on top of a pram but he was too long for the car seat!!

A question as well. I thought i was coming to the end of 28 weeks on tuesday but apparently (according to midwife) i was starting 28 weeks. Do you know how they count their weeks?? I assumed that the due date falls on the last day of week 40?? or is it the first day? My mum lent us a book so we try and read up every week! Sad

Afternoon all - its been a while.

Sorry to have missed the hen do, was at the spice girls but danced all night in your honour scorpio.

I adore weddings and would be beside myself with excitement if I was going to one this weekend never mind it being my own!

Stomach muscles hurt for 2 days after dancing at the spice girls. Made me feel really old!

I'm the same with crying V1KK1M. I have a great life, very little in term of daily demands/stresses and half the time just feel like crying! Really feel for my DH as I'm so bloody miserable all the time - still he assures me that I was like this in my last pregnancy too

We exchange contracts on our new house today and complete next week which I'm very excited and relieved about. Will prob do the actual move a few weeks later as we're in rented anyway and DH can get some time off then.

Off to Ireland tomorrow for a last trip to see my Granny before I'm too pregnant to fly! Not too long now!

Sorry bit of an epic, but I don't post often.

Have a fabulous day on Saturday scorpio.

Meant to say about the hospital bag - definately maternity pads rather than sanitary towels. Didn't bleed for very long (thank goodness) but I don't think a normal sanitary towel would have coped.

If you're staying in hospital overnight afterwards its worth getting someone to bring your own pillows in. The hospital ones are plasticy and horrible.

Don't know if anyone mentioned flip flops for the showers??

I'm going to take my lovely maternity pillow is long and squashy and full of beans and makes me sleep sooo well. In fact, just thinking about it makes me want to curl up in bed. I think I love it almost as much as DP

ipod and book.

I delivered at 1 in the morning, was transferred to the ward and DH went home at about 4 to get some sleep. DD was asleep - I was buzzing with adrenalin and everything else. No way I could get some sleep. The 4 hours til the rest of the ward woke up were very long! Although I did spend an obscene amount of time gazing at DD! Haven't really stopped since!

I adore that pillow Ellie - is it a big V from the grobag people?

I'm surgically attached to it - and its amazing for breast feeding. We didn't go anywhere without it in DDs first few months

Is like that one, got from Blooming Marvellous though. DP has always scoffed at it but I let him try it last night and he had to admit that it is supremely, wonderfully comfortable to snuggle up to.

I wouldn't let DH anywhere near mine - he might like it too much!

He only got to try it for 5 mins!

Ellie I've got that pillow ... it's fab! Although I haven't used it much this pregnancy for some reason, I was surgically attached to it last time round to. It was great for catching DD when she was learning to sit up too.

Count me in for the minibus to Cornwall - although will it come as far as here?

elfsmummy - I can sympathise on your experiences arriving at the ward. I didn't have as long to wait as I arrived about 5.30am, but it was very hard to do anything other than stare and wonder at it all. My DH was allowed to come back from 9am so I was waiting expectantly ... and he didn't get there till 10am! I've never forgiven him but I SUPPOSE he needed to catch up on some sleep too.

V1KK1M: Sounds like hormones! That happened to me a couple of months ago. Got myself into aright state over nothing. It just happens. It's inexplicable but generally doesn't last long. I'd say cry it out...

I'm still waiting for my maternity pillow to arrive in the post...

All this talk of maternity pillows is making me think I should go and get mine from my mum's loft, where I put it rather optimistically in July, thinking I'd not need it again.

Having a really tough day at work. Someone who should know better has given me a pile of crap work they've done, and I've spent all day re- instead of doing my own work. I don't know how to tell them its shit and not my job to re-do. Aaargh...

re-doing it, that should say.

I had a well fucked up dream alst night, that it wasn't just my baby I was carrying, apparently my friend was pregnant, about 2 months behind me, then as the dream went on it emerged that somehow her baby was in my belly and we had to get it out and put it in her womb
Then they did some op, and afterwards I bled and was really worried that my baby was going to die because I ahd removed her baby, anyway, then I woke up, and Alex was kicking the hell out of me

what a dream VictorianSqualor!! Made me laugh out loud. Bet you were glad to get out of that one
