Anyone due July 2009 ? Bring on the BFPs for a summer bubba !!!

[funkybumps]

Hi, I'm also on the June thread but officially my due date would be 4th July 2009 so thought I'd better set up a thread for all these summer babies.

Got 3 BFP's yesterday although technically I am only 3+2 weeks. Would love to symptom spot with fellow early testers. Surely there must be more of us out there !! I can't be the first

sorry christiana

o, christiana, dh was just complaining "o, yes, when you want a baby you're all over me like a rash, but where's all the shower sex now?!"

to which i reply, "o, pipe down, stud"

love all the toddler comments.

mmm, maybe i won't give ds anything - would be all woried now. unfortunately i won't be able to use the hood on the basinette - ds is so tall (and about 21kg at 20 months - pics on profile but he doesn't really look like monser baby in them), I'm worried that they won't even let me use that chair thing they set on the fold-out tray for older babies.

who are you flying with ? as i work for British Airways

it's a BA flight, mum2boys2girls - they have always been great in the past

just nervous this time with being pregnant and a bit queasy - and i'm not great with early starts at the best of times

and last time i flew i had picked the cot seat online before the flight but when i turned up at check-in they said they were using a different plane with a different seat configuration and i ended up in the middle seat between 2 strangers. it was a nightmare trying to keep ds on my knee. he was squirming and i apologised to the man in front as he was kicking his seat. i told him the steward was going to try to move me after take-off and i was sorry about ds struggling in the meantime but i was doing my best to contain him. he was so snattery to me and said "well, my back will be broken by then." i wept silently until ds slept.

Oh you poor thing thats no joke when you think you have a nice seat then end up in the middle with grumpy men in front of you Where and when are you flying ? I am back in work on 2nd Dec .

christiana

Well I thought the huffing puffing wolf was hilarious but Christiana, your DD has just made me laugh long and hard out loud and I am still laughing! Where do they get this stuff from?!! Sooooooo funny.

ah, thanks, mum2boys2girls, but I'm flying this Saturday from Cairo to London (and then from London to Belfast) - and bil and his wife always INSIST on turning up at the airport to meet me between flights. I know it's nice that they take the time to come and see me but we see them plenty when they visit egypt and i'm a bad traveller. i can't be doing with sitting down for tea and making small talk with them wile the kids go on the rampage and i'm fretting about the time for my next flight.

grrr...

Well I hope you have a better journey than previous poor you having to meet up with relatives as well travelling is stressful and exhausting

ps marvornia looked on your profile your son is GORGEOUS XXX

ah thanks, the little ratbag is a bit of a heart-stealer. We're in a mutual appreciation club, just had a nosey had your pics - what a stunning family you are, beautiful children.

AHH thanks

mum2boys2girls - sadly no i am at my desk fiddling on mumsnet when i should be working. thank goodness i have my own office. would have been sacked long ago for looking at next directory on line if not!

christiana - dont worry my DS keeps attacking me power ranger style and saying that i am going to be dead forever.

just got back from midwife app. got the green notes, vouchers etc and they are going to ring me about coming to the house in a couple of weeks. she was very nice. it was the same lady as last time. said they would monitor growth this time and refer me to hospital if looking on the heavy side again.

just read about your nightmare flight mavornia. we took ds on 5 hour flight in august. there was a man sitting in front with a very bald and shiny head. the crack of DS slapping his hand down on that very bald and shiny head echoed right down the plane. mortified isnt the word.

Hi guys, glad my ex MIL's antics made you laugh, honestly there was a time when I wondered about incest...urgh

Someone mentioned sex! I feel like a sperm using fraud!!! I just don't want to, we've done it twice since finding out and I feel so cruel but I just feel really fat and un attractive and that coupled with the MS or alldaysickness as I might start calling it are not equalling rampant sex!

can I please ask you guy's for some advice

Since June this year I suddenly started having difficulty sleeping, I just couldn't switch off and was literally up all night. All I could hear was my partner breathing. He doesn't snore or anything and he's not loud. We had been sleeping togther for over a year with no problems.

I went to a doc and ended getting put on sleeping pills which i only took for a week as they don't like you having them longer than that. The anxiety that came with the trying to get to sleep was awful, I would sweat and my heart would race and I would cry my eye's out in frustration. Also Dp falls asleep in about 2 seconds and then I lie there not wanting to move in case I wake him up. I used to read with my lamp on and then when my eye's got tired I would switch it off, roll over and off I'd go but not anymore.

Then I had to go into hospital to have my wisdom teeth out and when I came home we decided that I should just sleep in the spare room to try and give me the best possible chance of getting to sleep - Long story short - this worked and I have been sleeping like baby since but it's as I'm on my own.

The spare room is on the first floor of the house and DP and DD are upstairs, this means he has been getting up to her if she wakes in the night and has been getting her dressed and up in the morning before I have even woke up.

I feel terrible and I feel that especially as we're not having sex at the moment that we are not as close as we don't sleep together anymore, I know it sounds daft but I am terrified of going back upstairs in case it starts again. Getting a good nights sleep had been more important though as I was making myself ill and having to work 3 days a week and having a toddler the other 4. Although sleep is equally importnat now as PG but I#m scared there is never going to be a right time. My dd had started saying mummys room and daddys room too, any advice on what I can do?? Sorry to go on.

hiya christiana ooh yes Ilove snogging too.

Yes we do 'go to bed' when DD is asleep at weekends and stuff but it's dropped off cos I don't want sex but yes maybe we should have a cuddle.

I've got a kind of plan I think, when baby 2 is here we are both going to sleep in the spare room with the baby in a crib so that we don't disturb DD who will be on the top floor ( this makes my house sound huge it's not, it's just 3 beds but it has 2 on top floor and spare on first floor with bathroom next to it. It's an old weavers cottage )

It will be easier going up and downstairs if I'm bottle feeding and it's easier to get to the bathroom if needed etc. I'm hoping we'll be so tired from feeds etc all night that we will just get used to being back in the same bed. And when baby number 2 goes into it's own room it will be going into DD room and she will be having the spare room so I'm going to have no choice.

Quite a few people have told me that they struggle to sleep together and that maybewe should get seperate beds!!! That just seems so wrong though as we've on been together for just over 18months and I'm 26 and he's 35 ha ha.

I have thought about me going up to bed first and trying to get off before he comes to bed but we are so sad we do everything together and I always read for ages before feeling tired

Thanks for your advice xx

See, I would love a cuddle from Dh but he'd just think his luck was in and think it's going to lead to more Men!!!

I felt really sick at work today and my friend gave me a dry cream cracker and it really took my sickness off for a bit so i've just been and bought 2 packets

mmmmm ginger biscuits and flat coke

got a hubby and daughter who have both been in bed since 7pm - hubby poorly, DD just tired!

am now sitting here going 'hmmm aren't i supposed to be being pampered...cared for...loved?'

hi everyone, how is evreyone feeling?? i wish i could get on here more often as some of the tails on here are making me giggle! i have a little question to anyone else on here 7-8 weeks pg with 2nd pg... are you starting to show yet? i tried to get on my fave jeans today to discover i cant do them up, well i could do them up when lied down on the bed but when i stood up the tightness made me feel sick! i dont want to tmept fate and get maternity jeans just yet! anyone else like this??

just seen all my typos...not usually that bad at spelling!

lydia - glad it's not just me!!!! Am 6 weeks with 2nd preg and my tummy and abdomen are really swollen. Some of my jeans/trousers are getting tight and I hate to think what my work suits are like as been on holiday this week.

I know what you mean that it does seem awfully early to be going into maternity clothes - also my other prob is that I normally wear suits to work so if I turn up in separates it will not take a genius to guess why! But if it's a case of feeling like my trousers are cutting me in half or going into maternity clothes I know which I'll be doing!!!

lydiathetattooedlady nope your not the only one! sending hubby up in the loft when he is better to fecth the maternity jeans.

i can't stand the feel of anything on my tummy and the button of my jeans seems to dissapear into my belly button when i sit down - ouch!!

can't wait to get into my soft stretchy, tummy hugging maternity jeans!!!
