Due April 2009: Episode 22 - Plug Popping, Ball Bouncing and Cervix Searching the preparations continue...

[SmuttyNuttyTaff]

chose this one hope nobody minds another quick thread!! the last one is a record i think at a day and a half!!!

Well at least they shouldn't be so aggressive if they're girls. & if they're breeding then they probably won't kill each other. Although they may eat their babies

& mumblemum, I'm so of your dishwasher - we have nowhere to put one, so are stuck without one for years yet

hello all, had a great day making cakes for a major family bash this afternoon - where all my lovely relatives proceeded to bounce up and down on trampoline with DD and swing her around tirelessly - her two favourite things, both of which mummy is a bit rubbish at atm. (I did have a secret bounce for a while though, and then got told off by my granddad ..)

I am so proud of our cakes I may post a photo. I am soooo not a domestic goddess, but they were fab! and DD did it all (patience did wear slightly thin by the end..)

How's everyone's cervice this fine evening?

Springy, you can get dishwashers that fit under shallow sinks and draining boards. We had one.

What's happened today ??? Everyone must have been out enjoying the springy sunshine never taken me so short a time to catch up !!

Bleu - glad your headache seems to have cleared up a bit, hope it stays that way. I was going to say don't forget it could be totally unrelated to being preg. I went to the Drs for a headache last year for the first time ever and turned out I had Shingles. If it comes back/doesn't clear properly you should get it checked out.

MM - congrats on the cake front. I always get DS/DD to do the cakes & esp. the decorating these days.......I think they make a fab job of it and noone else minds if they don't come out super fantastic because it's so cute they have done them. You can't lose

Bronze - sooo glad your LO are feeling better and you are ok and had a better night. Oh for sleep filled nights !

Ju/Springy - don't want to dash your hopes but I never get heartburn/indegestion and both mine have had shocking amounts of head hair at birth, none of which was lost, as I was repeatedly told it would be (noe even bald spots on the backs of their heads which is v.common apparetly). Am hoping for another hairy one as can't imagine having a bald baby !!

Boff - absoultely agree YANBU al all. Can't understand the whole no children thing at weddings especially as they are a family event surely ?!? Can understand an adult only evening with friends but surely a babe-in-arms doesn't count......glad she's changed her tune for you. Do you think they are just worried the baby will just scream all the time you are there!!

Springy - whilst looking for our dishwasher we saw a washing machine designed for kitchens with very little space - it was narrow and almost half the normal depth (looked v. odd) surely you might be able to get dishwashers of similar size. Have also had experience of worktop cookers - little midget things. Maybe theres something like that you could squeeze in.

Ah, see Boff beat me to it, and with a link too !!!

Off to see if kitchen is flooded and if I can get food sorted

Hello
Having contractions again
Blimey this pg thing doesn't half go on.

Bottom number is duration, top is frequency. Have taken trousers off but that's not helping. No toe wiggling though.

sorry typing making no sense at all. 2 mins long at increasing frquencies.

Experimental filling of pool relatively successful. Took around an hour to fill, and DH believes he will be able to maintain the temperature fairly easily. I tried to convince him to spend the rest of the evening trying to keep the water at 38 degrees, but he wasn't interested. Emptying proved a little more difficult, and there has been rather a lot of water all over the kitchen and living room floors, but it has done the job of mopping them!

DH did go to get me Creme Eggs, after Springy planted the idea (so easily influenced!) and also came back with Mini Eggs, Jaffa Cakes, choc HobNobs and McCoys! Hoorah!

re: hairy heartburn babies! The funniest one I'd heard was something along the lines of: when making a pot of tea, if the person who pours the tea is not the person who made the tea and stirred it in the pot, then the pourer will have twins, and they will be ginger!

OOOOH! Contractions! Exciting!!!

dont get excited i might be crying wolf again. it is too early for me

keep us updated Boff

sounds quite significant Boff. lol at trousers. how painful would you say?

more painful than bh less painful than toe wiggling certainty

Settling a bit now. Phew. That was close.

TMI alert
Mathsmummy, I think I can't feel cervix still but vaginal walls seem quite puffy and distended compared to their usual state. Is this related??

Hello there

Looks like it's been a quite day on the thread - hopefully everyone was out enjoying the lovely weather.

Thanks everyone for good wishes, DD had a great time I think and got far too many presents - and far too big ones as well, people spent much more on them than I expected

None of the children ate the poisonous berries although one of them came pretty close... had to watch them like hawks.

I am absolutely shattered after making all the cakes and sandwiches and tidying up the chaos afterwards so will be off to bed soon - thank god for Mother's Day lie-in tomorrow!

I mean a quiet day of course. Doh.

just saying hello - night in while dh goes to a comedy club for his friend's birthday - slightly as its taken till half an hour ago to settle ds so my girly night with sliding doors is a bit late in starting.

sorry cant catch up - see boffinmum is having possible contractions though. any other babies arrived yet?

have been having much more BH than last time - feels very low etc but probably just what its like second time round.

Evening

Juw - oooohhh hooray for free pool and handy attachments ooohhh

Boffin - what fantastich hamster names love it!! Now that is an agreement and a half!! make sure you get it in writing hooray for the party !

Bronze - trista is soontobe's buddy

BB - boo for the bathroom and the wedding!! did you have a nice day with your parents? xx

Springy - sounds like a fantastic day! enjoy slumdog x

Mumble - yay for the dishwasher!! i would love one but we truly cant fit one in our kitchen too many windows and doors etc.

Mathsmummy- you are queen of naughty & trying to get your baby out i soooo love trampolining

Boffin - how are you doing now?? ((hugs))xx

Schulte - glad your dd has such a lovely day

Nutty, I am OK now but completely fed up with being pg, like everyone else.

i had a moment today when i glimpsed my bump in a mirror and remembered that it was quite nice to be pregnant - was a nice feminine shape.

and then the bh started again and i couldnt walk faster than a tortoise so it didnt last very long.

Boffin - glad you're ok xx yup i've pretty much had a gutsfull too 6 weeks is an eternity
