Oh my word - just pop on after a few days offline and Glaskham's had a baby. Wow! Many congratulations on Ruby Marie.

How exciting - a decent size for a baby born at this stage too. Any others that I have missed?

It is also a little terrifying though.

I'm going to go into paranoia overdrive now, thinking that every twinge I feel is a contraction. Really could do with baby staying where it is for a bit longer!

And whereabouts will I find posts about Springy's wedding? Hope all went well?

OK - found Springy's wedding post. Glad ok fire alarms and mother in law. MILs are wierd ime. No doubt we will all be wierd too when we become MILs...

Got to dash again will try to properly catch up on the last few days activity tomorrow.

Mumble - not long to go now before you're a MRS!! too

Mathsmummy - Stop at 36 and put your feet up woman!!

Puzzle - yup frekkles is in

Bronze that cake is fab!

LuLu Hi there!! what you been up to mrs?

Boffin lol at hollywood film of our thread it would be banned due to naughtyness

Ta Nutty.

Welcome back Lulu.

Right, i'm going to curl up with DH. Night all.

Maybe I will stop soon then my lovely MN family need me!

OK, major TMI alert but I was just having a rummage around/wash down below (as you do... ..and I can DEFINITELY feel the baby's head. I think.
Obviously quite far up, but should I be able to FEEl it???

yay mathsmummy you know it makes sense

wow!! have'nt a clue (sorry not helpful) but wow!!

Night Puzzle xx

I am so obsessed with my body Last time I actually played with my mucous plug. I just liked the consistency of it.

OMG baby going crazy now..obviously didn't like the poke in the head..

no nookie for you then mrs

the body is an amazing thing

my legs hurt, they doing that twitchy thing but I can't twitch as it hurts my pelvis

bronze ((hugs)) can you get your dp/dh to massage them for you and see if that helps? or a gentle back rub? maybe get into a different position

do you have a non painful side you can lie on? and pop a pillow between your legs.

mumblemum, thanks for the kind thoughts - hopefully you'll get lovely weather too! How are the plans coming together?

Boffin, a Hollywood film of our thread would be so good! We'd make Slumdog Millionaire's Oscar performance seem pitiful.

LuLu, I hope we won't all become weird when MILs! I'm really worried about having a boy in case I become one of them. I refuse to, though. I shall be lovely. Yes. What have you been up to?

mathsmummy, I want to feel the head! Of my baby, not yours. Obviously. I really wish he'd just come out now - I'm totally ready to play with him! Not ready in terms of actual preparation, but I'm mentally there (as much as I will be!) & really, really want him out!

Zzzzzzzzz - what have I been up to? Well certainly not sleeping much. DD has had me up since 3am this morning. I just hope and pray that Baby 2 is not such an insomniac or I will need to book into an asylum before long.

We went up to town to see the building work on our house. Progress going reasonably well, but we're unlikely to be back in for at least 5 weeks (am due 6 weeks today). Cutting it all very fine, but the house will be great when it is all done. (I am never moving again after all this!)

Also (despite me saying v. recently that I would never do it again) spent Saturday night at Ikea. Slightly depressing when you find yourself having a your first dinner out on a Saturday night in months at Ikea in Wembley at 9:30pm, knowing that you have a 2.5 hour drive back to where you are sleeping in Somerset that night. And then realising that your DH is supping Ikea wine which means that you are definitely doing all the driving .

So all in all, LuLuBai needs more sleep.

Everyone else OK. No more babies appearing? Maths - keep those legs crossed for a bit longer.

Morning all

Oh LuLu, I feel for you although I was awful for this as a child and would literally sleep whenever I wanted but would be up no later than 4 every morning wide awake and wanting to play - got a bit easier when I was older as mum would plonk me in front of Gummy bears and leave me singing along but at the beginning I needed constant attention!!

Oh dear re IKEA - I went to the new one in Southampton last weekend and it was horrendous - really put me off!!

House sounds good - am sure it will be finished JUST in time and you will be back (fingers crossed) before LO puts in an appearance!!

Maths I have just had breakfast and read your mucus plug post - yum!!!

No change here, still at home as in agony with these stupid BH - I could probably drag myself up to London if I needed to but have no meetings so don't see the point!!

Lulu - I think our daughters must be co-conspirators, she was up around 3 too. Thankfully for me it was DH she wanted though. The poor soul was forced to sit upright in bed while she snuggled into him. He was still like that at 6 when I stirred again.

BB - Could you use a tens machine when they get bad or is that not recommended this early?

Oh dear BB - at what age did you start to sleep to a more reasonable time? DD can't really be trusted on her own yet, plus I don't want her to think 3am is an OK time to be awake so there is no TV or lights on or any other 'entertainment' until 6am at the earliest.

My usual approach is to try an wear her out as much as possible during the day but as I get bigger and heavier I am finding it harder and harder to wear her out without absolutely knackering myself. I took her up to Westonbirt arboretum yesterday and we ran around for ages. I was zonked!

Today should be a swimming day, but I honestly don't know if I can muster up the energy. Just want to potter about in my huge floral tent of a nightie, or do some knitting or something else sedate.

LuLu -((hugs)) poor you, fingers crossed she sleeps tonight for you xx Ikea is not the place to go when pregnant

BB - i used to LOVE Gummy Bears!! ooohhh they were so cool like puzzle said the tens is a good idea if you can? or have a few long soaks if that helps? ((hugs)) xx

Oh Puzzle - your DD too? On Sunday night DH was up with DD at 3 but I did the honours last night as he had to be alert for an early meeting today.

I'm going to have to get out of my nightie and get out of the house though. She's using all her excess energy to wreak havoc & destruction. She's just dismantled a pot plant all over my mother's dining table. Lovely.

BB a deep bath might make you feel more comfortable.

Mooorning! Quickly dropping in as I print the stuff for my seminar this morning. I am grossly under-prepared due to being really ill / getting married last week. The childish part of me wants to just not go in & hide from the embarrassment of not knowing what on earth's going on, but I know that it won't help. So I'll go & just stay as quiet as possible & hope that nobody twigs that I've not even read the play yet

Ooh, quickly, I have to tell you about how lovely DH is. He's usually pretty lovely, but last night I fell asleep on the sofa (reading things for this morning!), so he went & lay on my side of the bed to warm it up, before coming back to scoop me up in his arms & carry me to the now lovely, toasty bed. I do love that man.

LuLu, sympathies about the sleep! I won't be able to deal with that at all... I need my sleep so badly (I even got really angry when I woke up needing the loo again 20 minutes before I had to get up today) & will just have to chain the kid up somewhere outside if he refuses to sleep like a normal person. I don't know how you do it. (& BB, I don't know how you can be that child! Madness!)

Am I the only one who really likes Ikea? It's hardly an exciting menu & I wouldn't want to be arriving home at midnight after a 2.5 hour drive, but I actually don't mind it at all. We've been a few times in the last few months & it's never been stressful.

& I'm beginning to think we could do with some babies, actually. Where is barbarelly? I want triplet news!

BB, how regular are your BH? Do they ever stop? Is there anything actually triggering them? It does seem unusual for them to just go on & on (that's not me trying to worry you - in fact I'm a little that you're clearly going to have your baby soon, with a 4 hour labour after all this limbering up!) I hope you're not suffering with them too much xx

I wonder how Nutty's swelling is today?

I've spent far too much time here now, so must dash. Back later!

LuLu - probably about 5 or 6 although I have always been a morning person since then and am happily up at 6 or 7 on the weekend.

Yeah they are pretty much constant, but they have absolutely no pattern whatsoever so could have 3 in 20 minutes, then nothing for an hour then a big one and etc so I know they are not actual labour but just uncomfortable - luckily I didn't have too many last night so got a pretty good nights sleep which really helps.

Ah springy that is very cute - I actually don't think DH could physically lift me up the 2 flights of stairs to bed (or even up) at the moment!!! AND if DH did go up and warm my side of the bed up he would probably fall asleep there and I would end up on the sofa!!

Gummy bears was my FAVOURITE programme of all time!

Ha ha ha - I think my DH would need to put in some serious hours at the gym to lift me to bed too! Perhaps I should challenge him to try... (evil emoticon). Actually - bad idea - he is the only one earning any money at the moment so had better keep him in one piece.

BB - could I send DD to you for the weekend then? If you keep her up until about midnight the night before she may just about sleep until 6 or 7...

So what have the docs said about the constant BH then? Surely you must be fairly close to the real thing starting. You'll be at term in around 10 days time anyway, won't you?

Springy - aww thats so lovely of your dh I love ikea in my normal able bodied self, just cant deal with it right now. (sofa arrives next week!!! wooohooo)

lol swelling still there looks like i have a 3rd blue butt cheek i have the midwife coming tommorow (finally) so i will get her to have a look

BB yay for the sleep just try and rest as much a possible now sweety, by the sounds of it you wont be long (how exciting!!) xx

Nutty - This chap might be able to help.

Did you hear back from ToastnHoney?
