Hello all! too much to comment on, so I'll just talk about myself (ahem).

LAST DAY AT WORK TOMORROW! has been such a struggle getting in the last two weeks but at least no-one thinks I'm a skiver when they see me making my painfully slow way to the loo on my crutches! Don't know why I give a shit when I'll never see any of them again, though

Have been SUCH a grumpy fucker tonight. Actually I am having terrible moodswings. Got home and somehow went from elated (way home in the car) to steam-coming-out-of-ears madwoman. Sat down quietly for a while and felt better. Think maybe am just knackered. Sleep is very elusive these days.

Burst into tears when I went to pick up DD from nursery on Monday. It was all just too much and my pelvis is hurting (and CLUNKING!) SO badly. The girls were lovely and brought DD out to the car whilst I hobbled behind, snivelling, but she was really upset by my tears - naturally that just made me cry more. Felt so pathetic!

Hope you are all feeling OK and doing this pregnancy business much in a much more dignified and blooming fashion than I am!

Molly, I was a 10 (Karen Millen - just using that as had two dresses for weddings) before DD and was back to pre-preg weight in 9 weeks, but could NO WAY get milky jugs into a 10 even 3 months after birth, 14 was really tight round bust though below was mercifully loose (dress looked a bit stoopid though as was clearly supposed to be fitted). I would definitely go with something adjustable in the boob area. I was 34D before I got pg, went to 34E pg and 34F breastfeeding.

Am so going to have to ration myself on MN when am on maternity leave.

I CANNOT WAIT TO LEAVE MY JOB!! WAHOOOOOO!

(see what I mean about the moodswings? )

When do I stop being a psycho again? about six months' time?

bunnyrabbit · 14/03/2008 08:25

Hi SCamp,
Good for you re last day. Hurrah!!

Sorry you're having such a crap time of it.. I'm sure It'll all be worth it in the end

Ellie, last Friday.. whoopee..

Oh and don't ask why but I'm eating a McDonalds breakfast. Consifering I never eat McDs (poor deprived DS has only had it twice(once not with me)) I have not the faintest idea why I'm eating this!! I haven't had any cravings in two pregnancies so perhaps it's a craving at last.. at 37 weeks?? I that possible!!

BR

Carey87 · 14/03/2008 08:51

BR - so very jealous!!! DP gave me £2 yesterday for breakfast yeaterday, when I aske dif he had anymore change this morning he said 'wasnt £2 enough?'!!!!

Erm, hello!!! 34+2 weeks pregnant!!! Cant stop eating you pri*!!!

I am now sitting at my desk starving!!! Think I am going to have to do my puppy dog eyes at my boss

Oh, and he still hasnt sorted out the insurance for the car! I am in such a foul mood today - I think my morning sickness has come back too!

Carey87 · 14/03/2008 08:58

OMG! I'v ejust burst into tears at my desk!! What is going on with me toady!

bunnyrabbit · 14/03/2008 08:58

No no no Carey think positive.. not sickness just a bit queasy (sp) cos your HUNGRY!!

I'm actually still hungry too... having a nice cup of tea.

It's going to be a boring day but leaving at 1pm so not too bad.

bunnyrabbit · 14/03/2008 08:59

should be 'you're' hungry.. what appalling grammar!

Carey87 · 14/03/2008 08:59

Oooo! A cup of tea! Think I will go get one, that should make things better

bunnyrabbit · 14/03/2008 09:00

Poor bunny! Deep breaths. Can you pop out and get some fresh air? And something to eat??

EllieG · 14/03/2008 09:06

Hurray for scamp on her last day!

I am also mostly horrid at the moment, real moody fecker - am OK at work and then when home and tired am all Raaaaaa! grumpy and Waaaaa! crying. Poor, poor family. DSD is not just ignoring me and getting attention from her normal and consistent Dad, sensible girl.

Carey87 · 14/03/2008 09:14

I just went on a stealth mission and stole an orange and a bababa from the front desk - dont like bananas but am going to try and trade it!

bunnyrabbit · 14/03/2008 09:16

bababa....?

Fruit doesn't sound substantial to me.. I was thinking pastry!

Ellie, it is your last Friday isn't it?

Carey87 · 14/03/2008 09:17

oops, sorry, banana!!! ha ha!!

Hurray for scamp too!!

bunnyrabbit · 14/03/2008 09:20

LOL.. practising baby talk?

EllieG · 14/03/2008 09:20

I want a bababa, they sound nice.
Yes is last friday! Think am bit in denial though as have LOADS to do and can't concentrate as keeping checking MN. Really must do soem work now.

bunnyrabbit · 14/03/2008 09:23

What's the dessert that has rum in it that sounds like this? ... ohh I know Rum Baba...mmmmm

Carey87 · 14/03/2008 09:25

mmmmmmmm rummmmm babaaaaaaaaa!!!

Carey87 · 14/03/2008 09:29

ooo!! go ellie too!!

Mum2b2BabyRoo · 14/03/2008 09:33

YAY - it's my last day too! I am soooooo glad I am not going to have to do that commute every day for the next year! I don't think Baby likes the train anyway because as soon as I get on the train, Baby goes crazy and gets hiccups! Well maybe that's a sign that Baby does like the train - and it's just me that doesn't?!?

To copy a word from PFJ - I'm also very hormotional today (and yesterday, oh and well everyday for the last 7 odd months really!) and my mood seems to swing from one extreme to the other. My poor, darling, very patient DH gets the brunt of it - must make it up to him!

Oh and PFJ - yes - you look very glam darling - Vogue would snap you up in a second!

scorpio1 · 14/03/2008 09:34

Morning

My nan was meant to start chemo yesterday but now she hasn't - she has to have a 'procedure' first; they aren't sure its worth it

I don't know when i can see her....i am at very bottom of Cornwall and she is S.Wales. Not before Millie is born. I don't how long there is.....

It's OK though, we are all sticking together.

Millie normally moves before i get out of bed - today she didnt. i even squashed her and gave her lots of pokes, and talked to her, but nothing. I had to get up but just before school run she moved I like to feel her before i get up after the nights sleep.

scorpio1 · 14/03/2008 09:36

Re: mood swings, we have freeview and the telly started hiccuping 2 nights ago - i was effing at it and shouting at DH to fix it and i nearly wanted to kill it. DH thought it was most funny but still didnt help! He was playing online poker.

I am getting tired like in the beginning of pg now; even though i am still sleeping through about 5/7 nights.

Mollyfloss · 14/03/2008 09:38

Love the pic PFJ!

Scampmum: hope you're feeling better today, last day at work for you Ellie, & Mum2b, wohooo! I feel bad complaining about my achy hips considering you're on crutches. That's great that you fit into your pre-preg size in 9 weeks! If I fit into the size 10 then it will be one size up from pre-preg so there is some hope (I also think the dress might be quite roomy anyway because I did warn them and they still choose size 10 and they know the dress). Anyway, I just sent a mail to my cousin pointing out that my boobs could be too big for a size 10 but she will still be able to judge it better than me.

Carey: have something to eat! Morning sickness can be a sign that you're about to go into labour by the way! of course it might not be for weeks yet! I think you need to be a bit firmer with your DH on breakfast and car insurance. You're too nice. God, my DH wouldn't stand a chance if he did anything like that, poor thing...

Scorpio: My DH plays online poker too, so annoying...

Mollyfloss · 14/03/2008 09:41

Where is SuzeM by the way? She hasn't been on in a few days. She is due 1 day after me

scorpio1 · 14/03/2008 09:41

Molly: I know!! DH gets lost in it, i think, so sometimes we set a time for him to get off and for us to do something!! DH plays the free ones though so no harm really.
