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

[EllieG]

Here we are!

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...

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...

SuzeM, Hope you don't mind but I have just adjusted the list as I'm due on the 27th not the 28th! I didn't want ShellySara to be on her own! Thanks for helping me out with the list though.

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!)

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

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

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.

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?

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

lol @ rat feet

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

Yep, you are a rat too Scorpio

yay @ ratty me

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

LOL - P&L love the thread title!

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

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

really, anything is possible in my dreams right now

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

"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?

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

scorpio, like that one

ha ha - very good Scorpio!

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

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!

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...

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!
