Oh I am all a blubber...well done Merry on the safe arrival of your mini marigolds (what makes me think that name is going to stick, sooooo sooooo sweet).

"our" twins definately have lots of virtual godparents as do all our soon to be LO's....

What a magical journey we have all been on these past 8 months and now the realisation that we are all having babies is so real.....

I'm goingnow before you get more sentimental twaddle....

What great news, what good weights well done to our MerryM for carrying those babies (our twins) into the world!

Can't wait to find out their names!!

Pinkali apparently 1st babies can engage and disengage again however my DS engaged around same time as yours has and he came on the button. So answer is no one knows but I would say it is certainly encouraging that you have engagement now!

Coolkat LOL at the sweets you don't want to share! Know exactly what you mean there!! (whispers.. I have a cake for after DS bedtime teehee)

Dozy SO pleased you FINALLY got your date, congrats!!

Yorky · 22/10/2008 19:16

Isn't it reassuring talking to people wh use the same hormonal language!

And I know what you mean about waiting for the magic number 37 to come round missygoo, is a day or 2 really to make that big a difference?
Its like the 1st birthday and magically honey and cows milk become safe!

Dozymare · 22/10/2008 20:20

ooohhh 0 very quiet on here tonight....i am playing scrabble on Fb if anyone weants a game???

LadyBuzz · 22/10/2008 20:21

I'll play Dozy, I'm feeling brave i've just (and I mean just) beaten Monkey!!

MonkeyMargot · 22/10/2008 20:24

Well done LadyB! Good win!

Dozymare · 22/10/2008 20:32

well done you!!!!!!!!!!! She is losing her power now we are all practising = mwah mwah mwah mwah (said in a |Dr Evil sort of voice!!)

LadyBuzz · 22/10/2008 20:34

That made me chuckle!

Dozymare · 22/10/2008 20:39

actually, i spoke to soon,,,,,we hae jsut started another game and she is already 100 points ahead!!!!!

MonkeyMargot · 22/10/2008 20:42

Eeeeeeeeevil.
I can't believe how much LadyB has improved. Not happy.

LackaDAISYcal · 22/10/2008 20:43

I'm always up for a game of scrabble. I have a couple of games with Obs that are obviously going nowhere and am bored.

I sooo neeed and want to hoover, but I just don't have the energy, and my hips are sore.

also have a cradle of pain under my bump which I'm trying (and failing miserably) not to worry about!

DH has gone back to Lincs but he'll be back tomorrow evening. He has organised the PILs to pick DS up from school, but forgets that means me stressing about the state of the house and running around trying to get it at lease dusted and hoovered before MIL shows up, which kind of defeats the purpose of them coming to pick DS up to help me out......but it's the thought that counts!

MonkeyMargot · 22/10/2008 20:44

So happy for merryM. No more news from her re. names though.
I feel drained tonight. Too much food me thinks. Enjoyed catching up on the day's gossip though!

Yorky · 22/10/2008 20:47

Commuting DHs, no fun Lacka - play scrabble and if you IL are rude enough to notice the dust then let them deal with it.

Or better still, carefully place yellow duster somewhere obvious 5mins beofre they get in from school and say Oh I was just... and with any luck the answer will be - you should be resting, sit down and I'll do that! Wouldn't happen with my MIL, but nice thought

Happy scrabbling all, does eating a dictionary give you heartburn?

ceebee74 · 22/10/2008 20:48

Ladybuzz well done on beating Monkey - I am still trying to do that - must be on my 5th or 6th attempt now And fab news about getting your elcs date - what a weight off your shoulders that must be!

Daisy I would love to play you at Scrabble but I think there is only so much thrashing my ego can take - between Monkey and Obs, my confidence is a tad low

Sparks where are you? I started a game with you a few days ago....do you not want to play anymore ?

Am feeling poorly tonight - achy, bad cough, tired.....thank god I have the day off tomorrow!!

I still don't think it has sunk in that one of us has babies

LadyBuzz · 22/10/2008 20:48

Can labour be in you back?
Lacks can she ot hoover for you tomorrow?

vbab78 · 22/10/2008 20:49

thanks yorky my text buddy for the text .

evening ladies. I'm sat on my own in a weird quiet house. Quiet because DH has travelled to London (i'm near Sheffield) until tomorrow eve for work and DS went to bed at 7.20 after cuddles watching brum with mummy .

Me and DS had lovely day and we even baked buns (from a packet). But in typical 2yr old style DS had occassional mad half hours where he goes through every emotion and test boundaries. In one of these "emotions" DS was throwing one of my bras around and caught me straight in the mouth with the metal bit boy did it hurt and make me cry. I told DS by telling him "you have hurt mummy, she doesnt like naughty boys and to go away from me". This I have found is the best way to get through to my DS as raising of voice, going to his level or getting angry just makes him worse. DS bless him though honestly didnt mean to hurt me and like he always does with anyone when he/they get hurt "kiss it better" or "Ryan kiss it better".

Weird that DH does my head in the majority of the time but I feel like I've lost a limb when he's away (not often though) overnight. STUPID LOVEY DOVEY FEELINGS!

Just slightly paranoid that baby will make an appearance while DH away. Keep feeling baby really low, keep checking "down there" for possible show as keep feeling stuff and didnt have a nice incident on the toilet earlier. Sorry if TMI. Seeing midwife tomorrow for 38wk check.

lots of babies - WOW! Good luck pinky and congrats merrymarigold. names - 100% on Alyssa Ann for a girl but not sure I like Wyatt Stephen with DH addition of David (his dad) so Wyatt Stephen David. I've already said fine to DH but just still does not settle with me, personally I think it sounds too much and I want just one middle name. I love Wyatt and definitely want Stephen (my dad) but feel I cant discuss it with DH and even when I suggested no Wyatt () so Stephen David he said "no".

MonkeyMargot · 22/10/2008 20:50

lacks agree with Yorky, you really shouldn't bother cleaning up for your MIL - let them help you!

Dozymare · 22/10/2008 20:54

LACKS Have started a game with you, although God knows why as you always thrash me!!

Vbab I know what you mean about Dh being away, I am just feeling the love for mine at the moment...even thinking about him makes me go all funny./...definately hormonal!!!!!!

ceebee start a game with me!

MonkeyMargot · 22/10/2008 20:55

Vbabs Try not to stress about your DH being away - try and enjoy the peace and quiet if you can - you know you won't be getting another quiet evening for a while! It is funny though that when they're around, you don't always appreciate them and when they go away, you really miss em. Men huh.
Stick to your guns on the names - although I don't see why having David as a second middle name is a bad thing?
Got my 38 week appt tomorrow aswell - hoping the Bean hasn't turned as I had lots of very uncomfortable movement last night.
Ooh, and forgot to add Pinky - congrats to you on getting your baby this week!!!!!!!!

vbab78 · 22/10/2008 20:57

the show - with DS I went to bed on the eve with backache (remember DS back to back), had "show" but no popping or anything just on the loo about 10am and contractions started being intense a couple of hours after. Waters where broken by the hospital. DS was born 3.15am the next morning at 41wk+6.

Sorry went on a bit there ...

I've got it in my head that things will kick off this time as shown as "show" and waters will break in dramatic style either at home or in the car. NICE.

Is the "show" meant to be before or after waters?

LackaDAISYcal · 22/10/2008 21:04

show is usually before as it is the mucous plug that has been keeping out infection coming away as your cervix dilates. It can all come away together though as was the case with me.

Agree vbab, enjoy some P&Q while you can, the calm before the newborn baby storm.

I'm secretly dreading DH coming home permanently as it will seriously curb the amount if time I spend on the pooter. I will feel obliged to do the housework and cook meals and talk to him

MonkeyMargot · 22/10/2008 21:12

Lacks my DH is planning on being at home post-birth for months!! (self-employed). I think I may just kill him....

cricri · 22/10/2008 21:13

I texted Obs earlier to tell her about the twins as I wasn't sure if anybody else had. She said it was great news and to pass on her congratulations to Merry. I did ask her how she was but she didn't respond to that bit. Hope she's OK!

MonkeyMargot · 22/10/2008 21:17

night ladies x

Dozymare · 22/10/2008 21:19
