Fantastic news about the pram dizzy, have you ordered it yet? DP doesn't understand why prams cost so much. So I just don't tell him We have a 'joint' account that I control. Although family will be paying for pram so how can he moan

Buckets · 30/05/2008 14:51

Pool nookie! Never done that! (believe it or not LOL.) Can't even indulge in my my country-roadside-backseat-nookie-fantasy tonight as posh old Winchester is apparently a hotspot for dogging (look it up on Wikipedia).
We are now 90% convinced this baby is called Kurt, just about to read Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut to confirm/wobble it. Hope it's the former as I'm really starting to picture a jolly little boy/monosyllabic teenager called Kurt.

Shazza2002 · 30/05/2008 15:21

Oh pool nookie. How did I miss that one

Something I've always wanted to try but never got around to. Perhaps that's because wherever I go on holiday the pool is full of other kids. Maybe a private villa holiday is needed

miamla · 30/05/2008 16:28

Morning all, its amazing what a good night sleep can do. I'm feeling nearer full of the joys of spring again!
I'm pretty much sorted on my hospital bags (don't get scared by this.. I'm an early bird re due date and we almost had an early arrival a few weeks ago!)
As for nappies, I've got one pack of pampers newborn but then I'm planning on moving onto real nappies. I've bought 5 motherease from someone on MN so we're going to give those a go and see how we get on. Any advice from those who have used real ones before? The shaped ones with a separate wrap seem to make more sense re quick drying times but are they fiddly?
crazieHazie step away from the nappy aisle!!!
3 people at work noticed for the first time that I was pregnant yday...all the other 596 colleagues noticed months ago!
Woah! We really are getting close to converting our bumps to babies!!! I think my little man is working on a tunnel at the moment. Feels like he's trying to dig his way out through my right side. I knew I shouldn't have watched great escape recently!
Pil arriving tonight to see our new home so we're all hoovered and spare room is made up. Dp in charge of dinner so all I need to do now is go home from work to eat it! Superb!
Anyone got any lovely plans for the weekend? We're planning on using the extra pairs of hands to do a demolition job in the spare room.old fitted cupboards and shower being taken out (yup,there's a shower actually in the bedroom! V bizarre!) All I plan to do is make the workers tea but I know I'm going to be itching to get involved!
Sorry,its another mammoth miamla post!

longwayfromhome · 30/05/2008 16:30

Ooooh - the smiley face has changed and now it's all cross eyed.

dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 17:14

shazza we're paying for this one ourselves so no, haven't ordered it. am waiting for some travel insurance coming through from all the cancelled trips and will try to sell some stuff on ebay (bought a universal card reader from tesco yesterday so I can put up photos) in the hope of funding it - will be a wait and see for now job

am terrified of spending so much money on a double only for dd2 to decided she's not going in it or for it to arrive and I hate it - there is nowhere near to have a look so I've started a thread in products in the hope the someone somewhere has one - remember my dd2 is a giant as well!!

maimla glad you've had a good sleep - apparently I didn't even acknowledge dh when he came in through the unlocked front door and up into bed last night after late shift - just as well am absent minded seeing as he's lost his keys

sounds like you have a busy weekend too I decided to knock out our ensuite when 7months pregnant with dd2 - I find its the best time to get things done as you're on a deadline

my plans? am working late shift Sat, Sun and Mon - possibly Tues too but am trying to get it off

TwilightSurfer · 30/05/2008 19:00

NEWS ALERT: Bradgelina just had twins. Sazzles the report states they're in France. Any sightings?????

OP posts:
dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 19:09

apparently Isla Jane and Amelie Marcheline - middle names after their mothers

some sites say its a load of pap some saying its true

who knows but nice names though

TwilightSurfer · 30/05/2008 19:12

How do you pronounce the second middle name? I thought it was a bit early for her to be having them but what the hell do I know.

OP posts:
CaptainCaveman · 30/05/2008 19:49

Pah, who cares about Brangelina - she never joined us on our thread .

hazie you have worried me into buying some pampers newborn nappies today - 2 packets (they were on offer at 2 for £6 in Tesco). That and the sudden growth of ds2...

Saw mw today, all good. Bp and pee fine. Fundal measurement has shot up from 22cm at last appt 4 weeks ago to 30cms today . EEk, no danger of a small baby me thinks...currently on the 80th-90th centile (ds was on the 2nd or 10th most of the time). And as I thought, he is breech at the moment, exactly the same position as ds was in from an early stage. Ho hum. That will explain the rib pain I've been getting too, all that headbutting in the same place all the time.

Hugs for you cyteen, it's hard enough dealing with shit in life without your pg hormones to send you wild. It might sound twee and trite to say life will seem different after your little boy is born but truly, life takes on a whole different meaning. Although my personal life experiences haven't been the same as yours (and nor would I be insulting enough to try and 'compare'), I've survived some traumatic years and can honestly say having ds has made me appreciate what I've survived even more, and I've learnt to respect myself incredibly for getting through it when others haven't. Sorry if that doesn't make too much sense . It's understandable that you hurt from what's happened, when you've done nothing to deserve any of it. (((((Cyteen))))

TwilightSurfer · 30/05/2008 20:37

Well if Sazzles would log in and report maybe we could settle the whole Bradgelina has she or hasn't she issue. I'm sure Sazzles would buzz right over to the Miraval Estate to find out. Captain I know you're just a bit curious. Glad all went well today. We both seem to AGAIN be in the same boat....now measuring big and breech. Not happy with the breech part, mind you. Also I have officially gained one pound every day this week. On Tuesday I was 131 now I'm 134. WTF!!!! I realize I should gain but A POUND A DAY!! No wonder I feel lousy.

OP posts:
CaptainCaveman · 30/05/2008 20:39

My twilight twin what would I do without you? Who would I emulate?? I have just posted a new bump pic on profile too. There's another 11 flippin weeks left yet!!

TwilightSurfer · 30/05/2008 20:45

Goodness you got one big watermelon there. Do you think you'll end up with another CSec?

OP posts:
TwilightSurfer · 30/05/2008 20:45

Oh and NICE TAN!!

OP posts:
dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 20:46

oh cc check out the bump AND you still have your iron burn too

CaptainCaveman · 30/05/2008 20:52

tee hee, I know. But at least it is now a tanned iron burn . I was just looking at my 20 week scan photos, and ds2 has not moved position since then. He still has his head buried under my right ribs, his bum down towards my left hip and he changes from facing my spine towards facing my pelvic floor. How nice for him. If he doesn't move then yes, it will be another cs as I don't fancy ECV. If he does move then I will be asking for lots of drugs to numb the pain of pushing that fat watermelon out of my fanjo

dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 20:55

cc I'm apparently on track for a 12lber - well you can see for yourself on facebook that I'm NOT small by any means

CaptainCaveman · 30/05/2008 20:59

12lb (CC hits floor like a sack of extra heavy spuds)

TwilightSurfer · 30/05/2008 20:59

DD...facebook...you too? Seems everyone is on there.

Captain, mine's head is under my left rib. I'm thinking about putting a radio between my legs at night and see if I can coax her to flip so she can hear it better.

OP posts:
CaptainCaveman · 30/05/2008 21:00

Bloody Nora, no wonder you're having it out through the sun-roof! You'd be left with a fanjo slapping around your knees pushing something THAT big out!!

dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 21:02

CC your soothing words of encouragement are a relief to me

it might not be but remember I make them big, 10lb4 and 11lb1 so far

pmsl sazz TS the photos are on facebook as I can't work out how the sod to get them on here and gave up trying

CaptainCaveman · 30/05/2008 21:03

I'm desperate to know Sazzles, what did you make of Brad's sausage offering? Do thank Angie for me, lovely compliments

Sorry ts, I didn't mean to cast aspertions on your good name there....
