Astarte what is it?????? Nosy me......

GruffaloSoldier · 12/02/2009 19:12

Hello all!

I have been back at work today as I am finally better - WAHOO - I actually didnt think it was going to ever go!

Oh gosh poor Glask. I hope everything is ok.thinking of her.

So Astarte are you going to share name with us or is it going to be a surprise??

Thats good about Brackens weight gain Tink!

Hooray for everyone with snow!

LB- that is so gutting about fob - what a hassle.They should replace that whole accessory thingamy as its probably faulty.

My frined is coming round in a minute so I must dash. But I'll keep an eye on the thread for any developments!

lardybump · 12/02/2009 19:16

Glad you are better Gruff... Have a nice evening....

Astarte · 12/02/2009 19:39

have emailed you LB

ohsnap · 12/02/2009 19:53

What are your other DCs called? I know one, maybe two...

lardybump · 12/02/2009 19:55

Astarte Xxxxxx I have just been on facebook and notice that I no longer have you as a friend Astarte!!!

lardybump · 12/02/2009 19:56

Ohsnap when is your dr appointment??? Just think we will be insisting you test again very soon.......

Cosmogirl · 12/02/2009 20:04

Thinking of you Glask - must be a very worrying time.

LB Astarte - c'mon now! We need some labour action at the top of the list please....Only kidding, I'm sure they'll come when good and ready.

Was sad to read about Kym Marsh's baby today...don't know if you saw but she gave birth at 22 weeks and unfortunately the little boy didn't make it.

Well I was brave this evening and had some curry...felt like I was going to spew after I ate it, but somehow managed not to and forced down a kitkat chunky (don't ask, but choc is my miracle nausea cure - shame it only lasts as long as the choc is in my gob).

Penultimate week at work next week, so countdown can truly begin. I am so knackered and fed up now I feel like I am literally dragging myself to the finish line. Pregnancy is like an endurance test...

ohsnap · 12/02/2009 20:14

LB, blood test is on monday (CD21) but I have had 2 cycles of 35 days so I won't be testing until about the 10th I'm afraid!

lardybump · 12/02/2009 20:18

Ok girls put that in the diary!!! 10th..... he he

Cosmo I really want a kitkat now... I have only eaten a flake and chocolate brownie already.... (who called me a fat pig) Hope the sickness passes soon....

SesHopesSpringwillbeheresoon · 12/02/2009 22:30

Hello!! Finally home after day at work and then catch up with a friend this evening.

Skim read through the thread but sorry if I've missed anything...

Astarte - my first thought was to suggest a drug called tramadol and then when I saw my friend this evening, I asked what she'd suggest as she's a pharmacist and also training up as a GP! She also said tramadol.
Just wanted to check whether you're planning on BF?

My back is really playing up again but this time my upper back between my shoulders and then after driving home by lower back is hurting too!! I have a hot water bottle on it at the moment and I'm sure after a night lying flat it will be fine again.

Snowing here again tonight but only about 1/4 inch settled so far - so nothing! (yet!)

Cosmo - I heard that on the radio about Kym Marsh - so sad.

Tink - great news on Bracken's progress!!

Gruff - glad you're feeling better

Oh, sorry, forgotten everything else I was going to say...

kayzr · 13/02/2009 07:49

Diege · 13/02/2009 09:13

Morning!! Yeah for rolo donuts KATZ . You owe me one if I remeber correctly?? Enjoy sunny Scarborough (brrr!!).
GYO, very of your planned morning of pampering. Is it the mother to be massage you're having or just a regulkar one?
Hi SES! Tramadol sounds good (well sounds good and powerful ). Is it ok with bf??
Good luck dorting the p&T LB; can't see how they could possibly get arsey with you, so hopefully get things sorted. Enjoy the snow!
Sunny but very cold here';think we've had out snow quota.
No walking under ladders today girls!!

lardybump · 13/02/2009 09:29

Where is Astarte??????? do you think she had the baby last night????

Diege · 13/02/2009 09:37

Ooh yes could be LB. Will be checking throughout the day for any news!!! (no doubt the lazy mare is just having a lie-in...)

mommyinthemiddle · 13/02/2009 09:41

morning, not staying long just wanted to see if any births over night. Astarte where are you?????

Ses/Diege- Tramadol, is wonderful stuff but be warned very very strong. I had it perscribed to me when i broke my leg, and took two days of halluncinations and itching before i got used to it. Great stuff thou, addictive. I couldn't take it at night as it made me wide awake and unable to sleep!

Will come back later and catch up better off shopping with DD2!

tinkislittlemissshopping · 13/02/2009 09:48

Diege · 13/02/2009 10:01

Morning TINKS! Sounds like you have a nice weekend planned. Oh and eyebrows, yes have mine waxed and tinted once a month .
Yes, was sad to read abiut Kym M . Think she would have been a week ahead of me, so makes it feel very poignant.

lardybump · 13/02/2009 10:07

Right must get on now but will check in later to see if baby Astarte is here yet......

lastboxoftampons · 13/02/2009 13:07

What? no babies!!!
Just kidding! But Astarte? Where are you??

Glask really hope you're doing better. Please take care of yourself.

You know, I was sure this baby is a boy, but now I'm thinking it MUST be a girl, because it is a little tease!!!!! In the two days since the little tapping - nuffink! Oh, well, I guess I was warned it would be sporadic in the beginning. And to be fair, I haven't really had much time to sit still and concetrate.

Hope everyone is well.

tinkislittlemissshopping · 13/02/2009 14:25

got watch really nice
have to get links taken out as have small wrists

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 13/02/2009 15:04

Hello

Just back from my morning of pampering was lovely.

Diege- it was the Elemis M2B massage, the same as you had I think?? Was done on the floor on beanbags so didn?t have any issues lying flat on my back on a hard bed. Also had a pedicure, since I can?t reach my feet anymore... (should have had Brazilian on same principle )... Are you still marking those exam scripts? Feels like you?ve been doing it for ages!

Ast- where are you girl? Hope you?ve got some news for us

LB- how are you today? Any pantsnot updates? Sorry to hear about P&T thing breaking, hope you can get it sorted.

Gruff- glad to hear you are feeling better, bet its a relief to get back to work (maybe not!!)

Tink- glad the new watch arrived... can you take the links out yourself or do you have to take it somewhere?

Cosmo- the mat leave countdown is on! Hurray for curry and kitkat!! Weird how sugar really helps. Real coke and fruit pastilles used to help me!

Ohsnap- good luck for the bloodtest. I will probably forget on Monday... hope you are good with needles

Hello Ses- feel like I?ve not ?spoken? to you for ages! Sorry to hear you back is playing up. Any luck with work reducing your driving? 3 hrs a day is alot... I found osteopathy generally very helpful for my back etc... managed to get mine on my work private health cover

Kayz- rolo donuts!! Yum... any left? Did you get many responsese on the camping hire thread? How is snow? Saw your pics of FB, looks great fun

MinM- how was your shopping?

LBOT- lol about changing your mind that its a girl .. hope you get more movements soon...

Anyone got any good valentines plans? Im doing a breakfast for DH with heart shaped pancakes (if the shaper thing works) and might make some heart shaped biscuits... not sure what else we will do.. Not worth a nice dinner out as so many things give me heartburn these days.

Phew, mega post AGAIN

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 13/02/2009 15:06

in my haste to post that essay before i lost it I forgot to add that Im more or less decided on a home water birth now!!

Went to Antenatal last night and decided that it really is what I want to do so need to sort out a pool now. Doing face to face meeting with DH and MW next week to chat through questions next week. Very excited about it now!
