Due Sept '08 - Counting Down Rather than Up Now!

[Sunshinemummy]

Thought I'd do this and post my last comments:

Hi all. Glad to hear more good scan news!

We had MIL visit this weekend and she is such hard work. She literally never lifted a finger and kept going back to bed every couple of hours. I've asked DP not to let her come again for a while as it's hard work waiting on someone.

We also finally put DS in his 'big boy bed'. Went quite well - he went to bed no problems, but he woke up at 2am crying as he'd got stuck under the duvet. He was then awake for a couple of hours so I'm feeling shattered today. Anyone of you with older children got any tips?

Slinkie we'll be near each other for mat leave won't we? We can have some fun together I'm sure.

Meglet I'm the same as you with the whole bf thing. I hated it last time and was relieved when I gave up. I keep veering to and fro with regards to trying it for this baby. I had such a happy time last time round, really enjoyed the whole experience, and am worried that attempting to bf will make the whole thing fraught.

Congrats on your scan too pidge and good luck jennylindinha

And sounds like you had a wonderful day carrieon... you look gorgeous

Thank you everyone, oooh you know how to make a girl blush! . I mean . Oh who am I trying to kid?!

Hi Mama they are definitely anti-E! I know all about anti-D because my mum is O Rh Neg too and she was one of the first mums to get the anti-D jab in the 60's. She had 6 kids and 4 of them were O Neg so it obviously worked ok for her

Apparently I have anti-C as well but they aren't so bothered about them. You can get all sorts, anti-K are meant to be worse... It can lead to anaemia in the baby and/or problems with subsequent pregnancies

The midwife I saw said that they keep discovering new things to test for and that most of the time it's nothing to worry about but they will need to monitor my blood every 4 weeks. Fingers crossed the levels are low.

lollipopmother,
july sounds good since i'm heading over to the middle east next week for a while. (blah!). maybe we can round up a couple more mn'ers.

Ooh yes, forgot to say how lovely you look carrieon I love green!

is anyone else being a loser like me and watching sex and the city non stop till tomorrow?

eandz - I'll confess I've never seen a single episode of sex and the city!!

carrieon - great dress - you looked stunning.

eandz i'd love to meet up too

Pidge,

you are someone i admire! I watched it once when i was 16 and swore i'd never watch it again...but secretly i've been watching it ever since.

I love SATC! Off to the Electric with my mummy pals to see it in a couple of weeks - can't wait!

i'm gonna see it tomorrow at the o2 center...only because it's got a nandos downstairs and the cinema has the best nachos ever.

Also up for a London meet up - who will volunteer to organise?!

i can organize since i don't have a (real) job and need something to do to kill time.

Hi - who was it that was suffering with really bad reflux/indigestion?

Had to go to hospital today as I have had a really wierd/bad pain in my throat and chest all bank hol...anyway, they think that my stomach acid is burning my food pipe and has burnt the valve at the top of my throat....have been given Omiprazole {SP?} but cant start it til tomorrow..Gaviscon is just not cutting it anymore!!!

Any tips/things I could do to help myself? Feel like there is contantly something stuck in my windpipe...its horrid.

thanks......

Gosh Becaroo that sounds horrible, poor you. I have been chewing the remegel tablets when I have indegestion. They seem to work, but mine really isnt that bad at the moment.
How come you have to wait till tomorrow?
carrieon we must have our own get together at pizza hut . I just have a couple of weeks at work then I am free to meet whenever, I cant wait.
I am very tired tonight, think I need an early one!
I got dh to get the moses basket and changing table down from the garage loft. I have took the moses basket apart and its in the washing machine now. I just need a new mattress.
What I cant locate so far is the steriliser, bibs and the nappy wrapper. We moved house last year so If thats all Ive lost in the process its not too bad. I did not use the steriliser much anyway as breastfed and I have a dishwasher.
My graco swing (absoultutely fab) and bouncer chair are at my parents so just need to get these back. Its all go girls x

I was just thinking as we have such an huge list now shall I cut and paste it together so all the boy / girl predictions are next to our due dates?

No time to do it until Thursday though (10 years younger is on in a bit and I need a shower). But I am happy to do it later in the week.

ooh, fab pictures carrieon!

On the subject of photos etc if anyone wants to add me on Facebook you can find me from the Mumsnet 'Whats your mumsnet name?' chat page. I think I'm listed on there somewhere back in the Autumn.

I hope I'm not the only facebook-er on here, I am old enough to know better .

ooh i facebook too meglet but can;t find that page

I'm a facebook fan too, didn't realise we could do that!

Yes mamamuffin we must do that lunch, you just say the word! Who else can make it to Monks Cross shopping park (just outside York)?

meglet I don't know how much time you have on your hands (or how much of a fanatical administrator you are) but I was thinking we (well, someone) should go through the due dates list and separate it into two - people who have posted in the last couple of threads, and those who haven't, so we're not knocking people off as such, we're just streamlinging a list of the regulars who post here. Is that acceptable or have I just broken some unwritten law of MN etiquette...?

im on facebook my name is clare Rosier if anyone wants to add me as a friend my profile pic is me on my wedding day sitting next to dh dont think there are many clare rosiers. not sure if you can say you no me from mn or not but i guess any women that add me are from hear.
