The Waters on the Wagon go Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

[sorkycake]

hopefully Kay is not far off

my contraband box would be empty

Sainsburys have bottles of pink Moet on special offer, so I might be tempted to get a couple given it's a girl an' all.

I know Louth, we got lost there!!!

When we lived in Norfolk and we came up here for a few days on the way home we stopped there and couldn't find our way out again.

i'm frickin freezing!!!! i dont wanna put the heating on till DC's bedtime... the timer dial has bust on the boiler, so we have to turn it on and off manually, so we're turnign it on at bedtime and turning it off in the morning- just that is costing roughly £4 a day!!!!! in total this last 4 weeks we have used £120 of gas!!!! Makes me wanna cry!!

It's really cold isn't it? Supposed to snow in loads of places tonight as well....What I wouldn't give for a real, roaring fireplace!

Me to Cosmo. My mum has a real fire and it is so nice in this weather.

Evening

Cant believe how much chat there was in there 3 hrs i was away!

Nat - hope your ok and had no more leakage. If in doubt just keep your firmly legs closed!

"in case Gyo is a weirdo"!!
....damn you've found me out....

Hi everyone else

Hi!

GYo - I'll be there to support you in the wierdness stakes!

Busy day but ok. Tiredness definitely seems better.

NJ - hope you and DS are ok.

Only managed one mars bar today but I still have my secret stash well hidden!

pink moet yum sorky.... Can you drink straight after the birth? What about feeding??? I am so jelous of you HB girls I really dont want to go in to hospital.... I might get a sneaky bottle of bubbly for when I get home though and say sorky told me it was ok....

It is okay LB What are the reasons you can't hb? I'm sure you'll have told me...but I've grown a baby in the meantime

cool thanks Ses...

ooh LB pink moet sounds fab....

off to bed despite it being only 8.45...

catch you all tomorrow...

I just typed a huge message and then lost it...

In a nut shell sorky i failed to progress to second stage labour with dd even though i had been 9cm dilated for 36 hours, dd was stuck for this time and had to be (rather barbarically (sp?)) yanked out... Her heartrate had dropped so low and didn't come back up... There was no time for a c section at this point. Because they couldn't determine if the failure to progress was due to me or the babys possition (she was back to back) the midwife advised against it as i live so far from the hospital... DP was at the appointment so he has ruled hb out now.

How many bloody spelling mistakes can I make in one sentance sorry girls I will try harder....

Its ok LB, pregnancy brain and all that. We're bound to make spelling mistakes.

Why do things have to happen at awkward times?
We've been looking for a puppy for a good 6 months now. We wanted to have it for a few months before DS2 was born. We haven't really found one we both like or really decided on a particular breed. Now 9 days away from DS2 being due, we think we have found the perfect puppy!!!

Argh!!!!!!

Oh dear! It never ceases to amaze me that we decide to go through it again when you hear of birth trauma like that.

I will have a drink after the birth but prolly only one glass. I'm not a big drinker really, 2 glasses of wine is my normal limit, but I'm actually less likely to drink when bf'ing than when pg. Don't know why.

My preferred tipple is champagne though . Maybe I'll have 2 glasses

ooh what kind of dog Kay?

This one Sorky. He is gorgeous!!

He's sooooo cute! You have to get him Kay

You know what they say buy a dog whilst TTC, get pg!

Maybe he'll send you into labour

Have you contacted the owner, is he still available?

No I haven't contacted them. Its also the getting to pick him up. Its quite far away and we don't drive.

I might ask mum if she could go get him.

He is lovely kay... I would love a dog but our house is too small..

Sorky I know what you mean. It was so traumatic but I am really looking forward to doing it all again (although hopefuly not going through all that, everytime I think of going into labour I get excited and i still have 12 weeks to go!!!!

I think the first birth is very hard because you feel a bit lost and helpless. There is no experience you can draw on to help you through it, is there?

The second was much easier for me, but I made sure I wasn't anywhere near hospital, which was where my 1st labour problems began.

I'm looking forward to giving birth as well, but not until 37 weeks I have to have my pool ready!

Also, I'd quite like to have a bit of my life back really. I'm not taking incapacitation very well it has to be said.

Aw Kay, I agree. He looks v cute. Hope you manage to get him. Will you phone in the morning?

I'm going to see if mum will go pick him for us before I ring them.

Her DP's mum lives in Huddlesfield which is nearby so they could visit her and then pick him up.

Plus if he is already toilet trained it saves us having to do it while looking after a newborn too. And having to walk him means I have to go out for a walk so it'll help in the losing the baby weight.

Soubds good
Fingers crossed no one beats you to him!
My mum asked me the other day how I'd cope walking with a buggy and two dogs. I'm sure I will!!

I am so sorry about your incapacitation sorky it must be so hard for you and all those around you...

Right I am off now so I will try and catch up with you all tomorrow evening after midwifes...

Night...

Night LB.

I am hoping no one else has phoned them.

I am so tired but I know I won't get to sleep until DH gets home at 11.
