Diege- I got some stuff from Seraphine and it was really quite large too.. they must really cut things large!

Hi Star! Glad you've joined the FB gp too!

Nat Glad you've got some answers, now there are decisions to make! But good to hear you're feeling better.

Kay So sorry the BFing continues to be a struggle. I was going to suggest doing both as well. I obviously don't have much experience, but would it help to give him one complete feed - say the last before bed - of formula? And I'm very curious - what are the drawbacks of supplmenting with formula other than possible nipple confusion?

Diege I'm so sorry for you and your size zero derriere!

Hi everyone!

I puked this morning in bloody St Pancras station

just realised who KR is well I feel mighty thick now!

poor you lbox!hope youre ok now!

Hi
Goodness... when I said I hope you are feeling sick didnt wish public puking on you!

Hope you are feeling ok... Nothing like some reassuring MS though!

Thanks guys
I do kind of feel like I've passed some kind of official pregnancy test though

I really can't complain - my nausea hasn't really been that bad and this is the only time I've actually been sick. And like GYO says, it is sort of reassuring.

My poor friend - she just told me she's pregnant and she said she vomited up and down the streets of Manhattan in her first tri

I did kind of feel bad for the people in the next stalls to me though. Nothing like hearing someone ralphing right next to you

LOL

Phew, least it was contained, thought you meant it was a public puke in the middle of the station!

Your poor friend.. not sure I could have been out of the house if that bad...

another pit-stop post here, just to wish you all healthy and happy christmas!

NJ, I'll be looking out for news! As an aside, I got my best tiny baby stuff from tesco (good value) although it is the NEXT 'small baby' stuff which really fitted well in the first wee while, and has lasted many washes to also do this little one!

Merry Christmas Teuch!

Merry Christmas Teuch!

Well it was my normal MW, which was lovely. She didn't want to weigh DS2 as she would rather see his weight gain over a longer period so she is coming on Saturday. She has suggested BF during the day and then giving him formula at bed time and during the night.

She did say that HV's hate mixed feeding so to expect her to moan at us. But MW said to just ignore her, which I normally do anyway!!

just braved tesco with dd and mum so hectic i am done with shopping

Tink, that is excellent news - well done BabyTink

Sorky, the same! What a relief for you. Hope you enjoy your break - don't stay away too long though! That is a wagon order!

Teuch, we got a fair bit from Next in the end, along with some bits from MC, there really wasn't much choice, infact there was more choice for really proper tiny babies (2.5lbs+) Have kept the tags on it all and kept reciepts so hopefully if the scan was wrong we will get our money back. Have a lovely Christmas with your newly grown family! I saw the pics on FB, he is just gorgeous!!

Kay, glad you seem to have got some sence from your normal MW, you sound much happier with things now

Thanks for all the well wishes, we have deffo decided not to go in tonight, if it wasn't xmas and the threat of special care wasn't hanging over our heads we'd have gone for it I think, just to get it over with more than anything, but we really can't risk being in there over xmas for the boy's sake, DS2 would be easy enough, but DS1 would be heart broken. So fingers crossed all is well enough at the scan tomorrow that they don't decide to bring it forward, and we can just see we go on Friday. I am so up and down all over the place I think it really will be a case of seeing how I am on Friday night, one minute the temp kicks in and everything is pounding and aching, and hurting and fuzzy, the next the temp has gone and I just feel completely wrecked, which is, believe it or not, a step up from the rest of it!

I was right BTW, he has engaged, which makes me feel better about the induction, I know I've been induced twice without a problem but both of those times I was well over my dates, and I was worried that if he hadn't made any moves towards coming himself then it might prove more difficult to induce me, but now he has engaged I think it is a good sign that he is as ready to come out, as we are to have him out!

As I said, DH is off now till at least 2 weeks after he's born, so I won't have as much time to get on, but will do my best to keep you all up to date as things progress, and I'll text someone once we know what's going on on Friday at the hospital. Cor, just think, by the time DH goes back to work, the baby will be here, I'll hopefully be feeling a lot better, I'll have had a drink and a ciggarette(!!!) Hey, I might even manage a smile at some point!

Gruff i am AS

Sorry flying visit, finishing everything for tomorrow, i am so excited i could't sleep last night. DD1 has been so excited today and not listening to a word i say and she doesn't even know we are going yet!

NJ- hope you are feeling better soon, and everything is ok at scan tomorrow, hope that you do what is best for you and DS3

Tink- good news on the scan and DD2 behaving herself. You were very brave going to Tesco, don't think i could!

Kay- glad you are happier now your normal midwife is back and HV really have no clue so no worries there. I mixed feeds with DD2 as we got married 4 weeks after she was born and was easier for me. Stopped breast feeding because surprisingly it was making her projectile vomit and very constipated. I remmeber when she hadn't gone for about 7 days, then i took her nappy off to change (just wet) and she exploded over me

Right have a great christmas everyone, will be back on Saturday so no exciting happenings before then please

Ah 2BG you are added!

Have a great Christmas too!

Who is SF?

Hi all, Only quickly skim read last couple of pages.

Have been really pretty ill with this nasty cold/blocked sinus virus thats doing the rounds and have been off work since Friday. Think I have finally got over the worst now am just totally shattered and my nose is literally in bits!

Nat - Sorry to read you are still having so many problems!!! At least it will all be over soon!

Kay - good luck with the mixed feeding. Let me know how it goes, I find the whole concept interesting.

Waves at everyone else.

Right I am going to request to join the Wagoners FB group as well. My initals are MS. Then I might tumble back into bed for a bit.

that would be me Gruff (sf).

I'm namechanging permanently so when I return I will be called something completely different but will let you know via facebook what that is.

Have a lovely Christmas everyone!!

Evening everyone

Just back from MW appoint.. Had my RH jab and bloods taken. Am apparently measuring a little bit small but only by 1cm so not an issue at the moment

Cosmo- jab was in my arm and wasnt that bad... she said it would hurt as it was cold but really wasnt that bad... - hopefully yours will be the same

sorry for cold playing, hope your feeling better soon

Tink- well done for braving shops

Hi everyone else...

Ahh that is cool Gyo - I have to have that jab soon too. I am prone to fainting when having blood taken though so I reckon I am going to be a big wuss. Im going funny just thinking about it LOL!

FB group is looking good I have confirmed you sorky and playing

Im packing for my festive UK tour
DH is in a very good mood and cooking dinner in the kitchen and singing his heart out bless 'im.

I did just walk into the door handle and hurt my bump hope my gruffette is ok!

Sorry to hear you are ill playing.
Merry Christmas Sorky - have a good one!

Just wanted to say Happy Christmas to everyone in case I don't get on tomorrow.

Have a lovely time and speak soon.

Happy Christmas Kay

Morning! Just popping on briefly before heading off to work! It's been a busy couple of days and today will probably be busy again although my boss has told me I can finish at 2pm. I do find that difficult though as our shops can't close early -contract for dispensing prescriptions with the local Primary Care Trust prevents us closing earlier than normal. I don't really see that it's fair for me to come home early when they can't so I will maybe wait and see how the stores are getting on. Only planning on visiting 3 stores today as have done the other 16 in the last few days!

Then still have presents to wrap for my mum, dad, younger brother and his gf who are all coming over to ours for the day tomorrow. I'm hoping DH will peel all the veg today whilst I'm at work.

NJ - thinking of you and hoping your bug starts to clear up in the next few days. Looking forward to hearing about a good birth (you deserve it!) and welcoming another wagon baby!

tink - glad she's behaving herself. Long may it continue!

sorky - take care and enjoy your break but don't be gone for too long!

Love the idea of the FB group. Will log on and try and join in a minute. I think lots of you know but my initials are SD just in case!

May log on later after work but just want to wish you all a very merry Christmas and happy 2009. Also, I know we don't normally do soppy but I really want to thank everyone on this thread for their support and friendship over the last year. If someone had told me a year ago everything DH and I would go through this year ttc and the 2 ERPCs and all the worry I think I would have screamed on the spot and gone completely mad. If there ever is anything good to come out of mc, for me it was finding MN and - in particular - this thread. I really don't think I would have stayed so (comparatively) sane and managed to focus on ttc and be 20 weeks pg. You guys have been such a help and support, I can't tell you.

2009 is going to be a very special one for us all and I look forward to sharing it with you all

Sorry, that was really soppy in the end but I really mean it!

Have requested to join the FB group

Happy Christmas Eve! Thanks for the report GYo and glad it wasn't too painful - hope mine will be similar.

Second your sentiments Ses in that very glad to have found the wagon thread and looking forward to all the new arrivals next year. Hopefully before we know it our names will be edging their ways to the top of the list!

Off to brave the traffic and drive to Cambridge shortly, so have a great day everyone.

morning

merry chruistmas all i 2nd ses this thread is such a great support.
2009 and babies here we come
