Due April 2008 - for our third and final trimester, give us our extra 200 kcals!

[EllieG]

Here we are!

[sagitta]

Hi Lennsuey, and chipmonkey - sorry that you're feeling disappointed, but what a lively happy house you'll have with all your boys...

scorpio - sorry to hear that jamie is ill. Poor him, on half term...

I bought myself some flowers on Monday for being such a good wife and mother, as I knew I wouldn't get any from DH. Who is going out for a drink with a male work colleague tonight! But then, we've never celebrated Valentine's day...

Have you lot got any advice for me? My legs are now really swollen - they don't even bend very well at the knee. The MW just told me to keep them up all day - but that's a bit tricky at work etc. Should I get those support stockings? What do they do? Am worried I'll get varicose veins or something...

[Mollyfloss]

Just back from the café. Had beans, toast, mushrooms & hash brown. Just what I was in the mood for!

Sagitta: there are some creams you can use for your legs but you need to check first if they're ok for pregnant ladies. If so, one that has a cooling effect when you put it on wopuld probably feel quite nice at the very least. I've heard drinking lot's of water can help too...

[Lennsuey]

Hi everyone. Following this thread religiously every day, just bad on writing . But as there's an updated list, thought I'll add my new date. Our first boy would have been due on 13th of April, but I now need to have a caesarean, so he'll be born on the 3rd.

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying a lovely valentine's. (Got flowers, so all chuffed about that, but so tired that I think I'll be asleep by 9, so I think this is the romance for the day!)

[Mum2b2BabyRoo]

Hee hee - just realised our babies are rats in the Chinese horoscope

[scorpio1]

Think we need a new thread ladies - what should we call it?

[SuzeM]

Not at all Lennsuey! Hi Sal22.

I am a rat also (lovely).

Sagitta, can you get a foot rest to use at work or even a pile of manuals?

I didn't get flowers or even a card ... and it is my birthday as well. I think I will have to take a trip to Selfridges after work with my dh's credit card.

[PortAndLemon]

Nothing wrong with being a rat. All the best people are rats...

In which spirit, how about "Due April 2008 - awaiting the patter of tiny rat feet" as our new thread, in celebration of our babies' rat nature?

[scorpio1]

i think i'm a rat too...1984?

lol @ rat feet

[PortAndLemon]

You see, more evidence in support of my "all the best people are rats" hypothesis!

[SuzeM]

Yep, you are a rat too Scorpio

[scorpio1]

yay @ ratty me

my flatmate when i was 16 had a rat called Ratney Spears, lol.

[Mum2b2BabyRoo]

LOL - P&L love the thread title!

Happy Birthday Suze!!! Hope DH makes it up to you and spoils you rotten tonight!

[Mollyfloss]

no, no no, if you put rat in the title I'll start dreaming of giving birth to a rat!

[Mollyfloss]

really, anything is possible in my dreams right now

[scorpio1]

i haven't had a dream for a few nights. last ones were DH strangling me , lovely.

[PortAndLemon]

"Due April 2008 - awaiting the patter of tiny rat feet (except for Mollyfloss, who is NOT giving birth to a rat (hope you are paying attention there, Mollyfloss's subconscious)"?

Or could that be considered a little too long?

[scorpio1]

"Due April 2008 - the one where Mollyfloss does not have a rat"

[Sheds75]

scorpio, like that one

[Mum2b2BabyRoo]

ha ha - very good Scorpio!

[TLSM]

I know what you mean about funny dreams Molly I dreamt I was in love with the Devil who was David Walliams!!

[Mum2b2BabyRoo]

Speaking of dreams - I dreamt that DH had cheated on me with this woman he used to work with (gorgeous) and I found out about it while we were on holiday. And while we were on holiday I dreamt one of my ex's was in the room next door... all very strange!

[Mollyfloss]

at thread name... don't et me started on dreams. I have about 3 every night and one is weirder than the next. I should write them down every day, I'm sure some of them could be made into a great film...

[Lennsuey]

I am not alone! What is it with weird dreams? I read it's a hormone thing. Recently I've dreamt i was being chased by a murdered, being struck by lightening several times in a storm and that my husband had an affair!! How cheerful!
