Hello
Happy Birthday, chocolategal

Sounds like there is some heinous vomity thing going around, sorry for those suffering, sounds awful.

Oblomov you poor sausage.. I bet you will be soo glad to have your baby. Not long now.

DH brought the crib down from tha attic last night and we are all set up.. just need a baby now!

rutho what are you doing?? Can you not just settle, dear?

I don't have any hallowe'en icons. Maybe you have to set a prefernce for them?

thank you all for your kind messages
pinky they should just come up automatically?

mine no worky.

Oh, thank goodness everyone else can see them, now about these voices I've been hearing...

Nah, Pinky, I cannot stop bloody cleaning things. 'Tis most unlike me and DH will go into shock.

He is now on day 3 of no fags and was a total arse last night, poor thing - I am currently framing my features into a non-threatening and pleasant 1950s "How was your day, dear?" mask for when he gets home!

Right, off to wash some more cushions and make risotto or something. Heeeeeelllllppppp!

I got no funny faces either

Hana - well that's thrown a spanner in the works. Now need to do some extra research about retained placenta and maybe re-do my birth plan. Poo - thought I'd got it all sussed!

Rutho loving the bag of vomit. Have several of those in my freezer with 2006 as a date on them. Mmmm !

Choco happy birthday! Very sweet of your baby to remember it.

Just dropped DD off at ballet to be told by another mum 'god you're looking so fat!' So eloquently put I thought!

I think you need to open a new browser for the halloween icons to work.

just had a lovely nap on the sofa. DH has made spag bol and it smells divine. Dare i risk it?

happy birthday chocolategal

there is a few threads about the smileys; apparently they all had hats, but its deemed inappropriate for sad to wear one (in case someone uses it on a bereavement thread, fair point), but when tech took it off, sad wasn't working at all.......so they are back in the hollowed out pumpkin for a week

Saw the midwife this aver and am feeling really upbeat. Im up on Fetal asses tomorrow and will begin my steroids on Friday-fingers crossed that the sweep on monday does the trick as I'm getting sooooo stressed out as time ticks by.
Am the preverbial donkey on the edge!

Hey. What a lot to catch up on...just managed

I feel very unprepared today for 'the birth'. I had forgotten all about VitK. last time requested orally, but ds was forceps and they recommended the injection as there could have been internal bleeding from his traumatic entry ito the world. This time I have not even written a birth plan. I have no idea. I don't even know what a c-section involves. Lacks sent me a great document with loads of ideas, but I can't think about it. Maybe I am in denial or something. My sister asked me if I am scared, and I said I am excited about seeing the babies of course, but not really feeling anything else. Maybe I am too tired. But just feel like I am not really embracing this.

Obs, that hypo sounds very scary. Don't understand why you fell out with dh about it. Did you speak to anyone today about the placenta thing and the hypo? Are they bringing section forward at all?

Choc, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Lovely baby.

Saurus, had to laugh at the vomit. Most of my frozen food looks like that! I'd be chucking it all out. And the 2 oven chips! Why do we do this? I got my new freezer last week and it is full already .

Well, gotta go and cook something resembling food. Frozen Chicken Kiev I think. Or Hot Dog sausages and something. Or tuna. I forgot to get any food out of the freezer.

Hope you are feeling a bit better, lacks merrym maybe it's just that you need to think about having the babies, and not too much about how you have them, IYSWIM. I was like that with DD cos I was soo ill. You have so much to think about, with the twins. Not sure I'm making sense, but sometimes you just need to 'go with the flow'? I feel differently this time, like I want to be very much in control regarding the delivery. With DD I just wanted her here so I could feel normal again.. I knew once I had her I would be in control again. Does that make sense??

Pinky I know that last post wasn't directed at me but I totally feel like I just want to 'go with the flow' this time. Am half worried by fact that I have not done so much research into everything this time and half well I did it last time so...

Also don't have time to thoroughly research anything this time so going on memory! Still hasn't sunk in that a baby is on its way (WTF!)...

MerryM; I'm sure all will be well. I can't remember what happened with DD after the section; whether she was given VitK or not. I assume she was as I had said it was Ok in my notes. This time, as I have come over all hippy and earth mother, I might ask for it orally.

I won't be having sytocinon to help the placenta as I think there is still a risk of rupture to my scar and I certainly don't want to go through a natural labour and then have my scar rupture at that point.

Feeling much better; I've had a wee bowl of spag bol and a mini magnum (they just had to be eaten as were defrosting merrily). We'll see what happens.

Still feeling sore and I think I have a hybrid illness as I have DDs sore throat as well.......could someone please just shoot me now

on a cheery note though........phil and ted have arrived . DH being a bloke hasn't taken it out the box though and refuses to do so until the other one is either out of the house or in the attic. I will get him to open it though to check it's all there. I'm itching to get it out and use it, although maybe I should wait until Virgil is here?
