Woohoo!!!
Well done springy (lol we should call you stringysponge after all the waiting!)
Really, well done though. You must just feel amazing today, after thinking this day would never come.
George is a very puntual little man too!
(((hugs)))

purplemonkeydishwasher · 11/04/2009 12:42

just popped on to check.... (not read whole thread so excuse me if i've missed anything else...)

YAY!!!!!!
CONGRATS SPRINGY!!!!!!!!!!

a few tidbits from the purplemonkey house...

feet have started to swell. BP is fine though. just really annoying. i hate the feeling of swollen feet! hands are ok so far. still wearing my rings.

rememeber that horrible feeding cover-up thing my cousing sent? i heard from my mom the other night. she snet a parcel with some baby stuff...and an effing HOOTER HIDER. colour my unimpressed. i didn't want ONE never mind TWO!!! (if anyone would like one, let me know!)

that's all for now. DH has a 4 day weekend so i won't be around much. but will try to check back for baby news!

hope everyone is well. (Boffin - that is not on BTW. BDad should be reeaallly reeaallly nice to you. you just gave hime another son. definitely omelettes for a while...

later!!
xx

Kalikaroo · 11/04/2009 12:55

Congratulations Springy!!!! Welcome to (not so) little George! Well done you!

Quite that he arrived on your due date since STILL nothing to report (I'm 8 days over now - ho hum...)

Starting to think castor oil is a good idea...

gingersarah · 11/04/2009 13:01

CONGRATULATIONS SPRINGY!

Great news - can't wait for the full story.

bronze · 11/04/2009 13:04

Can I just have a little cheer please. baby has started moving on his own again. I've been in worried tears more than once in the last 24 hours pleading with my bump.

NuttyBlowUpEasterBunny · 11/04/2009 13:10

Bronze - YAY for movement!! >

surprisenumber3 · 11/04/2009 13:20

yay bronze for the movement

I feel crap today. Am tired, bored, grumpy, none of my clothes fit me and I look like a big frump, can't be bothered to get off the bed, DH keeps bringing me little treats fresh juice and pleading with me to come for a little walk to feed the ducks but I just can't be bothered

I have promised I will spend tomorrow in the park!

bronze · 11/04/2009 13:21

surprise. I'm still in my prepreg jeans but have a hairband holding them together

You kno its bound to rain tomorrow

surprisenumber3 · 11/04/2009 13:25

I would enjoy it once I'm there it's just the thought of going!

That's just it, maternity clothes are all massive on my bum, hips, everywhere apart from belly and make me look even more frumpy! Have even put holes in the stretchy bit of maternity jeans from keep pulling them up! Have even bought a smaller size (of maternity clothes) than I usually am. Have tried the hairband thing but it keeps pinging off after a while! Have a couple of pairs of really comfy jogging bottoms (not maternity) which I just bought in a size bigger but they are both on the washing line - soon be dry!!

soon2befamilyof4 · 11/04/2009 13:32

Rachel has usually posted by now hasn't she? I hope she is holding her baby now - or pushing it out!

Finally got the McDonalds I have been longing for! I know its really bad but I got DD a happy meal too, which she has nevr hd before - i have never seen her eat so much! She is still scoffing the fruit bag now but went through te fish fingers and chips. Bearing in mind she usually has a tiny sandwich for lunch and a bit of fruit. lol. I know its unhealthy but its a one off.

I am glad I am not the only one having trouble with the grant. They should be flexible if it is there fault. I am not bothered WHEN the money arrives, I just don't want to loose out completely.

surprisenumber3 · 11/04/2009 13:34

soon2be - don't worry about the McDonalds and DD, it's okay as a treat, my DS's had one yesterday I am lucky though in that DS2 always wants fish fingers, carrot sticks and milk which isn't too bad DS1 on the other hand wants cheeseburger, fries, 7up and then is still hungry!

bronze · 11/04/2009 13:41

I'm the same about the money soon2be. I sent my form off ages ago though. I seemed to be one of the first on the thread to actually get it.

I've decided I want this baby tomorrow

It would fit in

me -12/01
dh -21/10
ds2-01/12
ds1-04/04
dd- 04/08
so this one has to be tomorrow 12/04 or the 21st really 21/04 at a push i would allow it the 14th

WOOHOO SPRINGY. BLOODY MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF CONGRATS MY LOVELY.

PuzzleRocks · 11/04/2009 13:46

Right, off for a catch up now.

bronze · 11/04/2009 13:49

s'ok I knew I hadn't got something right

Isnt he Orbit though? He always will be to me

PuzzleRocks · 11/04/2009 14:16

Springy - Aww, George is a good feeder. Excellent. And the first baby born on their due date. What a great weight too. DD was 8lb 8.5oz

WFH - I can't bear to be parted from DD at the moment either. And Boff's right about that study. I drank moderately while breastfeeding DD and she has had nothing more serious than 2 colds in two years, is very tall for her age, and is frighteningly intelligent. Not boasting, just facts to set your mind at rest.

PuzzleRocks · 11/04/2009 14:25

Schulte / WFH - I'm like that too when tidying up. Even the cutlery and crockery wih DD's toy kitchen has to be arranged just so.

BabyBunnyBolat · 11/04/2009 14:37

Yay for baby george - he will always be iccle George to me even if he wasn't so iccle! You did so well sweets - I think denial is the way forward as before you know it you're half way through without all the hoofing around at the hospital! Cant wait for the story - get home safe today and enjoy your little man!!!!

Right girls who's next?

Biff sorry to say it but thank god she's going - I know it sucks now but in the big scheme of things it will save you so much stress - aside from the early horribleness the only time you have been really distressed is when she has messed up - even with all the spd issues!! Let us know if we can do anything re researching childcare etc- does your dd need some extra money for babysittingduties a couple of times a week to give you break? Did I miss ap shouting at felix???!!!!

Ok having a child has ruined my enjoyment of certain things - am sat here in the hairdressers with the latest trashy mags and all I can think about is karra and what if he needs a feed before I'm back- I know he can wait an hour without any trouble but am so scared he will get himself worked up!! Dh is with him and they'll be fine but I just want to get home!!!!

PuzzleRocks · 11/04/2009 14:42

BB - It doesn't get any easier. I was in the hairdressers this morning too and I was aching to get back to DD who is 2. I missed her so much.
How is your hair?

surprisenumber3 · 11/04/2009 14:47

oh the hairdressing thing does get easier! mine are 9 and 5 and I love going to the hairdressers I do remember not liking it when they were little but it is bliss now!!

BabyBunnyBolat · 11/04/2009 14:47

Still in foils - I have ages left

I was sooooo looking forward to today and now I just want to get back home!!

surprisenumber3 · 11/04/2009 14:51

ah BB, just think, you won't have to go for ages now and Karra and his daddy are having some lovely bonding time. You'll soon be home.
