New thread for us all! How many days this time?? {grin}

Anyone for a homemade choc-chip cookie?

Happy Happy Swaliswan!

May your day be full of joy,
May every present bring you pampering happiness,
May your bump be the perfect size
And may your DC be the best-behaved little one this year...

Have a wickedly wonderful day!!

Tis true - chatting strap ons over breakfast is probably a bit much ha ha

Is you DH OK Nutty?

He fell inside the shop? Had everyone been trailing snow in?

Hmmm - really not sure DD and I can cope with another full day inside. Yesterday was OK cos she had a cold and was fairly subdued but she's woken up pretty full of beans. She's found her necklace and put it on, so it looks like she's getting ready to go out.

btw Nutty - you look GORGEOUS in your fb photos!!! i'm going to sign up now so i can see what all of you look like irl...

You do look gorgeous in your pics Nutty. I love the Marabou trim.

What colour is your hair now?

surely making the commitment to live in scotland means I should default get more snow than the rest of the uk. Edinburgh just isn't trying hard enough! We've got two big snowflakes over us on the bbc weather map, but in actuality, not a smidge. pah and pah again! I think I might just have to give up and move to a sunny tax haven!

Flappy girth play swaliswan xxxxx hope you get spoilt and loved something rotten lovely x

springy i'm suddenly finding myself wanting to look for maternity wedding dresses for you. i reckon fifties style still for you to show off your legs and shoulders x

i must admit that i left a vibrating cock ring at a friends house once. she told me that she'd found it and was blaming it on her husband's brother who'd stayed there after i had. so i'm ashamed to say i keep quiet ....

can i friend you nutty? you look like such a minx in that photo x

I dyed my hair dark chocolate when I was in labour with DD. Tidied up my bikini line while I waited for the colour to set. Contractions were 10 mins apart at that stage, so loads of waiting time imbetween. Then we went out for lunch....

Then of course the colour started running in the birthing pool. The midwife looked pretty surprised.

I do really need to get my hair sorted out soon. I want to be blonde for this baby. This sounds stupidly vain but I was so anaemic and pale after giving birth that dark hair really drained me and I looked truly awful.

Yes, that's what I think I need to do. Need to brighten it up a bit and get it trimmed. I looked so awful for so long with DD, I could barely look in the mirror.

oh dear. was just doing an inspection of changing body in daylight, and there are definate stretch marks appearing. looks like the cursory bio oil when i remember rountine will need to be improved. i really need to rememeber to do my pelvic floor excersizes too. how often does everyone do them?

Morning all

Wow busy night last night!

Nutty your pics are lovely - you look so different with short hair!

On hair, mine is currently dark blonde until my chin and then blonde from there to the end - think I am going to go and have it coloured a week or so before due date as then (this is going to sound horrible) I wont look quite so drab in the post-pregnancy pics!!! (and am hoping by that point any colour wont hurt the baby - even tho I know it probably wont anyway!!) If I am going to have to have my photo taken on no sleep and all saggy I want at least my hair to help me out in some way!

LOL LuLu dying your hair while in labour! what did the mw say!

Oooh 50s style would look nice on you springy!

Made it in to work today - London is still stupidly chaotic (with 9 coach trains down to 3 coaches!) going to stay up here tonight and then head back home tomorrow evening!

How you feeling today Nutty

Kitty when you off to see your dad? Has the snow cleared a bit?

Oh Frosty - keep rubbing in whatever comes to hand! I'm sure it helps. I was the size of a herd of elephants last time and didn't get stretch marks. I slathered myself in loads of oils and creams morning and night.

Annoyingly I actually got a few during labour itself but they completely disappeared within a couple of months.

Have to confess I do forget the pelvic floor exercises. Will try to remember.

Ah I haven't been at all... but I am doing them now - is 7 weeks too late?

morning folks - happy birthday swaliswan. hope your had a lovely birthday breakfast.

pelvic floor - hmm - when i remember - probably not often enough.

sounds a nightmare in london babybolat. its all pretty and frosty here today - but i agree frekkles its not fair - we get the -8 degrees, but not the snow.

dh took me to work as he is going to pick up a carry cot for our loola buggy (first proper purchase for the new lo), and took ds along to the shops to get nappies as we had run out. Apparently ds refused to walk on the way back, so dh picked him up by his reins, and carried him over the shoulder like a handbag. He gave me a wee demonstration in my office, and it looked very funny. Hope nobody reports him to the social work while he was out.

Ha ha ha - BB the midwife didn't actually say anything but I caught her facial expression as she saw rivulets of brown running down the sides of the birthing pool. And then I caught her peering at the towels later.

It is horribly vain, but I'm with you BB - I look a real fright in BBs baby pics and really don't want to frame any of them or anything. It's a shame. And a lot of people point their cameras at your when you have a new baby, so there are probably loads of pics out there of me looking hideous.

Now this is really, really vain but I was also thinking I might get my eyelashes dyed. I didn't put any mascara on for first few months of DDs life (and as I got weepy at the drop of a hat that was probably a good decision) but it would make me look a little bit less like the walking dead.

DH just called, his dad's cancer has now spread dramatically and the hospital are stopping all treatment as there is nothing they can do and all they are doing is tiring him out not making him any better (sorry for the sad post!) I hate situations like this as there is nothing you can say to make it OK. They haven't told his dad yet and not sure they are going to as he tends to 'give up' so they need to keep him positive but doesn't look like he will be around to see this LO arrive. hmmm I don't know what to say to him (DH) as he is so sad and there is still no way of knowing how long his dad has, could be days, weeks or maybe months... Ultimately I know it is the right decision but that doesn't make it any easier for DH! bless him!

Glad that is out now! What a horrible start to the day!

my after birth pictures with ds are awful - was pushing for three hours and my face just looks so puffed up I almost dont recognise myself (must admit i look rather like my overweight aunty which I'd never noticed before).

This time, am hoping there is not quite such a lot of pushing and so anything would be an improvement on those. but will probably get a hair cut at least in the last few weeks before the birth.

i'm doing pelvic floors as i type. is it just squeezing your fanjo muscles? If so I do them once a day i think. and I'm hoping plenty sex is keeping the general area well toned.

I've developed a big white streak in my fringe from the last six months of stress and such. Not sure whether I like it or not. Kinda a badge of hounour from having lived through such a difficult time. But equally not particulalry young and sexy looking. Can you henna your hair during pregnancy I wonder?

I'm going to buy a huge bottle of bio oil on ebay today and make sure i do it twice a day. I'm also mildly obsessed with reading tips and hints for labour threads. I have a massive notebook full if things to take to hospital with me now. although I've still not decided on what hospital or hospital atall. Do you think it's wise to have a homebirth if you live in a basement flat?

Gosh I'm so looking forward to having a waist again.
