VG I couldn't think what to write to dizzy this morning but you have written what I wanted to. Lets hope she is ok.

email address is [email protected] - lets hope it works this time....

Nearly at the end of my morning's jobs - not sure why I am cleaning toilets when I should be outside reading a book......

OP posts:
AnnVan · 24/07/2008 11:04

Yay! made it to mw and back. Was really lazy coming back, and caught a taxi. Its too hot to be waddling all the way up that hill

PetitFilou1 · 24/07/2008 11:05

Bealcain Your advice is needed in the pregnancy threads!
Can I also apologise for buying my sling from a website - I realised too late that you sold them and wanted to say sorry but keep forgetting!

OP posts:
FoghornLeghorn · 24/07/2008 11:39

I'm dressed and I have been for well over an hour (for the first time before noon this week )

PetitFilou1 · 24/07/2008 11:41

Foghorn Enjoy it while you can I've been up since 6.30am - as usual!

OP posts:
poppysocks · 24/07/2008 11:50

Very minor drama here.... Set off to walk into town. Walk I was doing most days for work and managed every day until the day before DD was born. After about 5 mins I suddenly understood what some were saying about the knitting needle in the fanjo. Cue lots of fairly embarrassing leaning on benches, breathing deeply, waddling a few steps further, repeat and consequently worrying passers-by. Managed to get myself home - and, of course, feel absolutely fine now! Guessing it must be something to do with her position and that she's now moved but bump a bit achy and she's having a pretty serious kicking session. Starting to believe that this one is head down and engaging as def. a feeling a didn't have last time!

FoghornLeghorn · 24/07/2008 11:53

Petitfilou .... I'm always up between 6-6.30, DD's see to that . I just somehow never manage to get dressed before lunch time atm.

Been up cleaning since 6.45 this morning, think it's the nesting thing kicking in

AnnVan · 24/07/2008 12:07

poppy - I think I had a similar problem, the health centre staff were laughing at me hobbling round. couldnt face thethought of waddling home in that condition, so caught a taxi instead.
MW says baby is head down in a back to back position, she didn't say anything about if it's engaged yet, so I'm guessing it's not?

bohemianbint · 24/07/2008 12:07

Hello again, just jumping on the new thread - I cam quite late to the last one! Will now go back and catch up. Still only 1 baby out?

PetitFilou1 · 24/07/2008 12:12

foghorn me too, been cleaning since dcs went to nursery. Just about to fetch them - should have had a rest! But.... will feel much more like playing with them now I've had some time to clean.

OP posts:
TwilightSurfer · 24/07/2008 12:19

will read posts shortly...
just popping in to say contractions died out AGAIN and I went back to sleep. still home. no baby.

DIZZY {{HUGS}}

Buckets · 24/07/2008 13:49

Dizzy Chin up Chook (when you're ready), take it easy.

Cracked heels - never had 'em and I am always barefoot at home or in the garden. Maybe it's all that hiding soaking in the bath I do.

Just put banana cake in the oven - will call you all when it's iced and ready to eat. Banana and apricot actually as I only had apricot yoghurt instead of sour cream.

AnnVan · 24/07/2008 15:19

Hi BB - yes, so far we are at one LO. although there is one coming by cs today, so we wait to hear how things have gone!

TwilightSurfer · 24/07/2008 16:12

Actually we are probably at two little ones and ALBS will make three. Still waiting on Voodoo's birth confirmation.

HazieDazieandBaby · 24/07/2008 16:30

Oh Dizzy, just wanted to say I'm so sorry to hear about your mum and I'm thinking of you just now. Hope you are managing to take some time out for yourself and bubs. x

MrsMagooo · 24/07/2008 16:39

TS Sending you all the spare labour vibes I can muster!!

Poppy glad you made it home eventually sad to think that tho whilst joe public were eyeing you up curiously no-one actually stopped to ask if you were ok

Just got back from treating DH & DD to lunch out - came over all funny whilst out - got the shakes & was all jittery - felt very odd indeed!

Must be the heat!!

TwilightSurfer · 24/07/2008 16:47

Voodoo did give birth. Gathering her details now. That's 2 plus ALBS today which makes THREE BABIES!!!

Aww yay!!

Congratulations Vodoo on the arrival of JJ

ChaCha · 24/07/2008 16:57

Poppysocks - Glad you're alright, have also experienced knitting needle pain in last few days, not pleasant is it. Mrs M - lunch sounds nice - i sat in the garden for a very short while and that was enough for me - am not 'doing' the heat v.well.

FP and VG - Jo Malone again. MIL has just texted DH to ask what exactly i want as she can get in airport apparently. I have looked online and seen something called the Fragrance Combining Starter Set, seeing as the JM range is new to me thought this might be ideal. You did suggest something before PF but cannot remember what it was. Help? And have you tried their shampoo & conditioners?

Be back in a bit, should really get potato salad started.

TwilightSurfer · 24/07/2008 17:02

okay BIL just returned my call. the point he suggested is in the grooze on the INSIDE of the leg/foot between the achilles and the ankle. Find it. Add some nice firm pressure for about 20 seconds then slowly release.

Afternoon all,
Had midwife apt, she couldn't be sure of the baby positioning at all so has booked me a positioning scan for next thursday. Will have to hope FIL was wrong and baby wont be here tomorrow, although this arvo have had really achey period pains, dodgy tummy and a few stabbing fanjo pains too .......

TwilightSurfer · 24/07/2008 17:30

Sazzles, do you have a CS scheduled that I don't know about?????
