Due November 2008 - hang on a minute, that's NEXT MONTH! Yikes!

[ruthosaurus]

Not that it'll even BE November by the time we run out of space on this thread...

Monkey am on my way.......

I kind of like the idea of DH having the op rather than me.....it will give him a small inkling into what the thought of sex after childbirth is like

Am I bad for thinking that?

Ceebs it is your turn!

After DS it was 2.5 years for us, but that's a long story.

With DD it was about six weeks but the thought of it any sooner (bleeding aside)wasn't even on my radar......the spontaneously leaking boobs and permafatigue made sure of that.

and that was after a section...I can only imagine the fear after a natural delivery!

I totally agree that the DH should do it Daisy, it is apparently a much easier op with shorter recovery. My mum had a bad experience and that has completely put me off getting it... when the time comes and I realise a DC3 is complete fantasy.

Lacks thanks for text buddies, email received and number correct.

Will catch up tomorrow ladies, tired, DH on nights so going to watch TV in bed thats really bad isn't it!! Should do the ironing . . . nah bed and tv more appealing!

Evening all

Thanks Lacka for the txt buddy list, I'll keep checking my mail.

Ladybuzz - just chill sweetie and hope you get whatyou want. You have valid reasons and should be listened to, keep strong.

Monkey - sorry about your neighbour but don't let it get in the way of your celebrations, I'm sure she wouldn't want that to happen either.

Welcme back DrsWife!!
Quick hello to evrryone else too, have missed chatting and WILL sort out a laptop and connection etc v soon.

Good luck for nxt wk MM - babies next week is soooo exciting! I have just under 3 wks and been having lots of BH and also dreams that he has come early - hope not a premonition!

Will try and post in a bit but always hit and miss from my blackberry.

Xx

Lol, just been moaning to DH about how I am out of my league with some of you on Scrabble (mentioning no names Monkey ) and he said 'well now you know how I feel when we play' - bless him, I think he has only ever beaten me once

Haha Ceebs I can my thrash DH too! (yes unbelievable I know!!)

My DH refuses to play scrabble with me as I always win. Likewise he always wins at backgammon, even though it was me who taught him to play

hello!
just wanted to let y'all know that am off for a scan tomorrow as midwife was unable to work out which way round the l.o. was today - she thinks breech but found the heartbeat in an unexpected place

Anyway have been trying to catch up with all the chat intermittently whilst cooking tea and having plumber round so forgive for my bad memory!!

Merry Am so excited for you!! I hope you are able to enjoy this last week of pregnancy (no earache or itching!!)

Lola Pleased that all size confusion has been resolved and all is well!

Gah!! Help!! forgotten!!

Erm Rutho Congrats on the start of your maternity leave - woohoo

Sorry to everyone I have forgotten

Thanks for sorting out the text buddies Lacks. Ladybuzz and I have just exchanged texts so we've got the right numbers - this is all very exciting
Hana and Rutho Sounds as though you both had lovely last days in the office
Lolabella Glad scan went OK and everything is fine.
Autumnlady Good to see you Hurry up and get your internet sorted out at home so you can join in with the Scrabble games!
Ladybuzz Hope you were able to get in touch with doulas on here and the one your SIL knows to prepare your birth plan. Your MW sounds great though and hope all goes well tomorrow when you see her again.
I went to see the MW today and everything was fine. She's given me the paperwork for HB (including baby's health book ) so we're all set. Measuring spot on for dates and head is now definitely 3/5 engaged (she could only feel 2/5). Another AN appt at home scheduled for next Wednesday.
Back to Scrabble

Oh I love playing all of you at Scrabble so, so much. My DH won't play. I always play with my Mum but I only see her a few times a year. So this is brilliant!!
Babies babies next week next week! Woohoo!!!!

Hello AutumnLady! Have you got your laptop sorted out now? Hope all is well with you .

does anyone elses baby lay in exactly thr same position all the time? every time my midwife has checked baby positions its been the same with back running down theright hand side, bum under my ribs and legs on the left. she finds the heart beat in teh same spot every time.

Thanks everyone for listening today I am alot happier now and have a plan written and a list of questions for my MW. I've also been chatting with some lovely Doulas which has helped.
I have now got DH and SIL addicted to scrabble too, its so addictive!

Misdee yes, mine has been in the same position (head down, back to my left as I look down and the feet under my ribs to the right) for weeks and weeks now.

But, since he moves so little anyway as he seems to be a lazy tyke, I am not really expecting him to move from that position - probably can't be bothered

ceebee, same. this one doesnt move much,. i think she has been using the placenta as a pillow lol.

Anyone noticed that Daisys and Monkeys dh's won't play scrabble with them.
Wonder why

Thanks alot daisy for text buddy. will text chocolategal soon.

Just found you guys after not being on for 2 days... went to the last thread and thought cool I have only got 3 pages to catch up on then bam new thread with 186 posts!

Hope everyone is ok and I will try and catch up but heres my update ...

• Not sleeping very well at all.
• Baby is hurting me big style when moving and wondered on visting the loo (sorry if TMI) today if baby was coming as it felt strange.
• DS so far so good with bedtime as of Mon. Mon 7pm, Tues (at my mum's) 7.10pm as I went out with girlies and DH in bed with tonsilitis, Tonight 7pm .
• Bought DS a laptop (VTECH childs one) from Argos in the Sale for £14.99 well impressed. Cant decide whether to put it away for x-mas or give it him from baby .
• At Meadowhell (hall) today realised the 11 day old Atlan that I bought for DS and baby when he/she arrives had a rip (down the seam) on the seat! So whilst thinking I dont need this s**t I rushed home, found the receipt and went to Mothercare. They wanted to give me an exchange, wasnt sure about it but said ok, they had none in stock so gave me a refund . But this of course left me buggyless and stressed . I remembered I had seen a mamas and papas aria on offer at Argos for £79.99 inc an accessory pack. So thought I will have a look but probably just buy it.

I got the sale brochure to just double check that I get a free accessory pack when I realised it said ...

GET ALL THIS FOR £99.99 AND I DID (see profile pick just so happy) ...

• M&P Aria Pushchair (EXCELLENT BY THE WAY) with raincover
• FREE M&P Accessory pack - Cosy toe and changing bag.
• M&P Prima Viaggio Infant Carrier (that fits on the Aria pushchair)
• M&P Isofix base
• M&P Accessories AGAIN - Cosy toe, changing bag and bigger raincover

So for £20 more than the pushchair alone I got loads!!! All fantastic and so impressed.

Now I have a Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix Infant Carrier - Black Reflection going spare that I will end up probably putting on ebay . In excellent condition and fits the Quinny Zapp or Buzz .

DS didn't move much...he was left side for aaaages and my stretchmarks were decidedly lop-sided.

DD was all over the place; but mostly breech or transverse till she turned at 38 weeks.

This one is head down, but sometimes I feel his bum on the right side and other times in the left side...at least I hope it's his bum; as I mentioned earlier my faith in my CMW isn't that strong.

Ooh Ooh how much r u selling ur Cabriofix for Vbab ????

Misdee mine is in same position as yours... most of time!!

vabab, thats a good deal. but i cant find it online at all. so well done!

Also forgot ... names - me and DH had decided on Wyatt Stephen for a boy. Stephen being my dad's name. WELL ... DH said he's not comfortable not having his dad's name in so would be Wyatt Stephen David Wymer.

Dont feel I can say "no" to DH but just not 100% comfortable with two middle names for baby boy, wonder if it all sounds too much especially with the surname that I will probably get shot for putting on the web and short of takes the shine off my point of having my dad's name.

What you think? I even suggested removing the Wyatt (even though I love it) but DH said "no". HELP!

Vbab oh my god that is fantastic! I bought most of the stuff you mentioned for DS 2 years ago and it cost a hell of a lot more than £99.99!! I think the car seat alone cost that - am but v pleased for you.

Misdee our babies have obviously found a very comfy position and are not budging
