Morning

Washer dryer is being del'ed today - whooooo hooooooooo, I am seriously running out of clothes!

DS1 is still poorly, I'm going to see how he is when he wakes up and get him to the docs if he's not much better, poor love hasn't eaten anything since Friday so that alone is enough for me to take him. Just hate the thought of taking him out in the freezing cold for the doctor to say it's viral and give us calpol, I can, and am doing that at home! It sounds bad but you get the point where you almost hope it is something a litle more than a virus just so there is actually something they can do IYKWIM? If it's viral then it is case on just getting on with it, if it's an infection or something then AB's will help it clear up and sod off! Poor little thing, he was sweating so much when we went to bed last night, his quilt was soaked right through

Just for Sorky (I think this is right, sorry if I have gotten any mixed up):

SesHashadafab12weekscan · 03/12/2008 08:22

Morning NJ! Poor DS1 I can understand you being in two minds about taking him to GP as you may just get told Calpol and it's viral however you just won't know until you take him.
Yay for washer/drier!

I'm working from home first thing and then off to Eastbourne where our Pevensey Bay branch is having it's grand reopening today after a refit. It does look good and will be something good and positive for a change!

Last night's dream was aboiut a teenage girl who was trying to take one of my Mars bars from a stash that I had. I got really with her!!

tinkisahugexmaspudding · 03/12/2008 08:30

morning #

congrats glas on your girl
seems like we are getting alot of girls in a row on here
going by list is half and half more or less

gyo - ye for being measured

kay - one day closer

nat - hope that ds1 gets better soon

well off to drop dd @ nursery in a min then tesco here i come god i need those slippers
it is far to cold to go outside

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 03/12/2008 08:33

Morning all

Sorry DS is still sick Nat, hope he gets better soon or Dr can help.

Morning Ses- good luck with south coast trip hope its not too cold down there

Slight whinge alert from me. SPD getting really painful and now back/lower spine has gone so Im literally walking at minus speed and every step hurts. MW yest said not much can be done except strap (got one) and lycra support and then crutches if its worse. Is that right? Wondering what to do about work. Once Im here its ok and no diff to being at home but its really tough getting in through the rush hour.

Need to pull myself together since there a long way to go yet to 40wks....

Might just lie out on the Wagon sofa and eat Tinks wispas and Ses's mars bars (if I dare )

Diege · 03/12/2008 08:34

Morning! Sorry about ds Nat - that must be a worry. As SES says, it's a dliemma about the drs. I tend to hold off until the bitter end with dds, but at least if you go you'll have peace of mind.
SES say hello to Eastbourne for me! I love the place! Friends of mine have a B&B there, though business has been very slow recently and I think it's on the market. Your job does sound interesting I must say!
I think I have made a breakthrough on the sickness front - still feeling rough in evening but so much better in the day. 11.5 weeks now, so I should hope so!
Right, have hairdressers this morning - just hope I don't slip on the road outside which looks v.icy..
Hope everyone is well...have you had that baby yet Kay??

Diege · 03/12/2008 08:36

Who's that after my mars bars???!!

Diege - glad the sickness is easing. My job is pretty interesting. I'm quite lucky that there's a lot of variety and I get on with the people I work closely with. The only downside is that I don't have a base store or office so I'm always going around different places and it really racks the miles up on my poor car. Apparently the guide for getting a fleet car is if you do more than 25,000 miles in 3 months. When I last worked it out, I do 23,000 miles in 3 months

I'm actually back in Eastbourne tomorrow as well as I'm joining my Area Manager for someone's performance review. We're meeting in the large store in Eastbourne Arndale Centre so I'm hoping to grab some time to d o a bit of shopping. I really could do with some new bras!

Oh! Just remembered I never told you that I had 2 parcels arrive over the weekend whilst I was up in the Lakes. One of my cousins (I only have 2 and this one is a friend as well - she was one of my 2 bridesmaids) was meant to come over and see the new house a couple of weeks ago but was ill so coujldn't get here. Well she's such a star - she ordered a black wrap dress from Blooming Marvellous for me and a bump band!! There they were waiting for me. It was a fantastic suprise

Right must go and get dressed, check emails and sort dogs out....

kayzisexpecting · 03/12/2008 08:53

Morning,

No baby!!!!!
I was up most of the night again. I mixed some Clary Sage and baby oil and rubbed into my bump in the hope it would actually do something. It didn't but I do have a lovely soft bump.

Nat, I hope the GP can do something for DS1. He does sound pretty bad if he hasn't wanted to eat anything.

Morning Diege- so glad the sickness is improving

SesHashadafab12weekscan · 03/12/2008 08:55

Hmmmm.... I'm still lurking and guarding those mars bars GYo...

Morning Kay!

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 03/12/2008 08:58

I might concentrate on Tink's Wispas then instead

ooh, but I do love a Mars !

sorkycake · 03/12/2008 08:58

Thanks for that Nat, (mines a girl) and also for the reply on my other thread.
Was a bit scary, hope I don't get a repeat. I felt rather panicked. Fine this morning but sore around tummy and ribs, don't know if it's related.

I've rung the m/w this morning to see if they can come to my house for AN visits because I'm now unable to walk around the house properly and can't drive at all.

It would mean I'd wouldn't have to do a 2 mile walk, through the park, to the health centre with 3 kiddies.
Dh has offered to take the day off and mind the kids and drive me to the health centre. Tbh it doesn't seem right for bp & fundal check he has to use up his holiday.

Gyo you have my sympathies. Is there no option to work at home? I have come to the conclusion that I won't be going back to work now if I stay like this.

Still....chin up, it's not forever!

I have no mars bars but I have lots of egg custards??? Egg custards anyone????

lardybump · 03/12/2008 08:59

Morning all.

GYO I feel your pain. I have SPD and it is so bad that sometimes i have to crawl upstairs, and can not move at all. The only advise i can give is:

When you go up stairs lead with your good side and when you come down lead with your bad.

Never stand with your weight on one leg (or you will not be able to walk for days I know).

When getting into a car sit down first then swing your legs in.

Get dressed sitting down as well.

Hope this helps a bit...

Nat so sorry ds is poorly. DD has been bad for the last 2 weeks, started off as a cold and cough then went to her chest and ended up on her lungs..... Not nice at all but she is on her second dose of ab and seems to be picking up now. We were indoors for two weeks and started to get cabin fever, I think she was fed up with the sight of me especially as dp was working 14 hour days so she didn't even get to see him.... Poor baby that would piss me off too....

Diege I have my mw appointment the same day as you......

Please excuse my spelling I have not worked out how to get spellcheck on the computer yet........

Right adding myself to the list now....

It has been a bit better for me since dd has been ill as I have not done anything and been housebound..... however I can not pick her up very well and when I do I have her on my tummy and not my hip......

I am going to be 35 next week..... boo hoo I am getting old.... Sorky you have mw on my birthday....

lardybump · 03/12/2008 09:11

Diege I am so glad you are feeling a bit better lets hope the sickness eases for you now.....

I have been keeping dd up an hour later all week as dp has been working ot and wouldn't see her. She is now going to bed at 8 instead of 7 and I feel that I am not getting any evening anymore.... Do you think that when dp's job settles down abit we will be able to put her bedtime back to 7?????? I am worried that she will not go down at 7 anymore as her body clock will be all out now....

sorkycake · 03/12/2008 09:18

Hi LB, she'll be fine to go back to sleeping at 7pm. Thanks for changing the list.
We're in the same boat it sounds with the pelvis issues (good advice btw). Have just told work I won't be there for another fortnight.

Diege..yay for sickness subsiding, finally. Not long for your scan too...exciting!

Dh is liking the P&T he has having a fiddle out with it last night and seemed pretty impressed, in a "it's a buggy, what's to get excited about", but every now and again he went "oh, that's good".

Kay I think I'm ovulating in sync with you .
The goop is very goopy!!
