and its half price just now!!!

active birth centre

dizzydixies · 18/08/2008 20:56

just peeking in to check in on TS as have visitors, all well with us, will check in later

ataraxis · 18/08/2008 20:58

VG - when you first mentioned tennis i thought PS3/Wii or something , I am more impressed the more I think about it. You gave birth how recently?!

PetitFilou1 · 18/08/2008 21:24

No news from TS then - will come back tomorrow

Hello dizzy

VintageGardenia · 18/08/2008 21:30

Oh dear have given completely wrong impression of self 2 weeks postpartum. I literally stood on the spot and waved my arms at whatever came near. No little white skirt, no athleticism, no nothing. Promise! Swatting a wasp is positively Olympian compared to what I was doing earlier.

dizzy your cream looks lovely. Is it tasteless?

Well done on completing nursery ataraxis!!

dizzydixies · 18/08/2008 21:31

VG haven't eaten it myself but am sure dd2 has - will ask her in the morning

dd1's first day at school tomorrow and looks like its going to rain - wee pudding

hi petit

ataraxis · 18/08/2008 21:37

Oh bless dizzy - hope the first day goes well. Is she excited? How are you feeling about it?

dizzydixies · 18/08/2008 21:39

hi ataraxis

I had a bit of a wobble when buying her school shoes as thats the kind of thing that my mum would loved to have done but other than that am ok - she's had her hair cut and lost her two front teeth so looks really quite grown up if that makes any sense?

dad has come up tonight to see her in the morning too so I'll no doubt be blubbing anyway!

ataraxis · 18/08/2008 21:44

dizzy ((hugs)), must make it difficult at moments like these, it's great that your dad will be there. I do think it is much harder for the parents - your DD will love every minute of it!

alittlebitshy · 18/08/2008 21:59

lots of hugs dizzy. good luck to dd1 tomorrow and I'm sure your dad will admire her for him AND your mum.

vg at tennis - even standy still tennis!!!!

my lovely bf lady came again toight. She was v impressd ds has not had anything other then ME !!! In theory iknow what we're doing wrong position wise... need to try and keep doing it right though .

got to go - need to practice said positioniong

Just popping in quickly to say good luck to Dizzy and your DD1 at big school tomorrow. Hope all goes well, despite the rain!

Also, how are you TS??? Hope all's well and for an update soon!

gigglegirl · 18/08/2008 23:54

evening all!

managed Chester Zoo with all 4 today but am totally shattered! Imogen slept better last night (marginaly) but also slept all day today so may be in for a rough night!

TS hope you are now enjoying time with your new baby.

sazzles Know exactly how you feel, Imogen finally putting on weight, quite quickly now I think but it is really really hard work. As yet she has no pattern at all and can feed every hour for half a day and then if I let her sleep for 6! Still feel a million times better than being pregnant though.

Couple of questions for you all! Has anyone had lochia bleeding stop and then start again?
Has anyone ever done weightwatchers and got it on presecription - HV coming today and I have heard you can get WW classes on prescription which I aim to go back to from 6 weeks.
Any one got a Wii Fit - am thinking it may solve my excercise dilemma, re cash and time restrictions but want to know if they actually work!
Anyone know of you can buy industrial washers and dryers for use in domestic setting - my dryer has packed in and now there are 6 of us, no drying space in the house and reusable nappies I may end up just doing washing!

That's it for my inquisition!

Hope you all get sleep or babies whichever you are waiting for the most!

AnnVan · 19/08/2008 00:01

Sazzles thanks for the concern, sadly not absent through sleep. MIL cam over to wish DP hapy birthday and only just left! I really like her, but Ive sat at home all day alone, so it would have been nice to have a little cuddle time with DP before he goes to bed.

KnockOffNorbert · 19/08/2008 00:44

Righty, think I am all packed now ready for tomorrow - ready as i'll ever be I guess! I am so so scared though, cried three times now in the last hour or so with nerves. I'll keep you all updated as much as I can, may get home during the day if they wait until evening, but dunno yet. See you I guess on The Other Side! {{hugs}} for everyone, keep you going for a few days xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx

good morning all! another sleepless night in medway!
sazzles i am hoping that that will be the case - by the time baby's born I'll be used to not sleeping

Mmmm thanks.

Hope TS is doing ok. Is very strange not to see her here.

Just had very strange blinding pain in groin/lower bump. Felt like I'd pulled a muscle

AnnVan · 19/08/2008 06:45

Off to wake DP up with a cup of tea. See someone benefits from my lack of sleep

Yes sazzles it only lasted less than a minute, but was very sharp while it lasted.

I'm going to try for some sleep!
