Hi all... Just about to try and catch up on thirteen pages of posts that I've missed. First, I wanted to say sorry I've been away for so long though. As you know, we were on holiday, but when we came back, our internet had been disconnected. After over an hour on the phone, they told us it was because we hadn't paid our bill. We asked them which bill they thought we hadn't paid. Half an hour on hold later, they told us we had paid all of our bills, and they had no idea why the mix up occurred. So, over a week later, we were reconnected and credited with a £10 goodwill gesture by way of apology. £10 won't even cover the cost of the phone call, at 10p a minute, but if we want to complain, we've got to do it via e-mail! Good job we're reconnected now! Anyways... Time to start reading!
Spireal - congratulations on passing the 24wk mark! How exciting! And I'll look forward to seeing pictures of the nursery.
Congratulations to Spanishlady! I was hoping I wouldn't have to read for long before I came across the first BFP! Here's hoping for several more now!
Hermya - wonderful news about your scan!
Oh wow! Did not expect that post from Fullham - waters broken! Must read on...
Wow! Lily's here! Congratulations Fulham! There was you thinking you were taking maternity leave early too... Now you'll have LOADS of time off with your little daughter! Oh, I'm SOOO hoping that if I read on, I'll find you've updated some more, though I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't had the time! Hurrah, our first baby! (Our first baby! Lol!)
Bunny - great to hear that your mum was so pleased for you!
November - how lovely that you've felt movement.
Luckyseven - congratulations! Excellent news!
Lol Bunny at your mum worrying about ugly babies - is there such a thing?!
And funny how a few of you have thought of Family Guy - that's what I've been saying for weeks! Seems my "Stewie" is mastering new skills every day! Lol!
Worrisome - I can understand what you mean about your twin being pregnant too, but at the same time, how lovely to be able to talk babies like that with someone so close to you, and know for a fact that you're not boring them!
Yorkshire - sorry you've been so tired and queasy but sounds like the pregancy's going well! Won't be long now till your scan and till you're shouting it from the rooftops!
Worrisome - glad to hear you're feeling so well.
Pixie - how are you?
Hermya - great about DH's new job. With that, and you fast approaching the "feeling better" (if not "blooming") stage, things are really looking up, eh? x
Capricorn - congratulatioins!
Ozzie - delighted that you're so happy about having a boy!
Ooooh, Fudge - I'd be RAGING with your DH too! And the fact that he didn't tell you right away either... That man has some making up to do! Be sure to milk it!
Bunny - I wouldn't worry too much about the visitors if I were you. With a new baby, you'll have too much else to think about, and they'll understand that. They'll just have to look after themselves and make allowances.
Chance - sorry to hear about the low B.P.
Hermya - the crib -
Aly - I'm so, so sorry to hear your news. [hug] You've been having such a horrible time of it. Hopefully though, with your body already prepared for pregnancy, you'll conceive again nice and quickly, and be back on here in no time. And hopefully next time around, things will be a lot easier for you in terms of diabetes too. The one thing I hate about MN is that I can't just reach into the screen and give people hugs when they need them!
Bunny - I'm sorry about the sickness. It's so miserable.
Fudge - glad your scan went well. It's so amazing and real, isn't it?
Chance - I'm sorry to hear about your MIL. Still, at least they're moving fast with it all. Hopefully she'll be back home recovering soon. x
Hobnob - good news about your scan and hearing the heartbeat, as well as accumulating so much baby stuff! As for the muscle twitch... I've had a few of those and keep wondering if it's the baby or not. No butterflies either... See, one minute I'm convinced it must be the baby, and then I get a twitch in my leg and think that felt exactly the same!
Worrisome - I had heartbeat checked at 16wks and think it seemed pretty standard. Might be different in different areas though... ???
Trying - so glad you popped in! I really hope you'll keep us posted asap!
Nearly there now! Only two more pages to catch up on! God, I was really missing for ages!
Bunny - I can't believe people being so unreasonable! That's your news, not MIL's! I don't know if you remember that DH and I initially argued about who to tell prior to 12wks. In the end, we told my parents and sister, but not his mum, which he wasn't happy about. But then at 12wks, we told her. Once we left her house, we used the mobile to phone the first of DH's brothers. By the time we got to the second, he had already been told the news by his mum! Infuriating but sort of proved I wasn't just being a mean bitch and excluding her! Hmph!
Oh Fudge! How scary! But at least you know all was well on Friday. Hopefully that's still the case. I know when I was in hospital with the sickness, there were several pregnant women in there who were losing a lot of blood, but whose babies were completely fine. In fact, there were more bleeding women there than sick ones, and just think how common sickness is. Try not to worry to much, if you can help it. (Another case of wanting to pop through the screen and give someone a hug!)
Bunny - glad to hear you're feeling better.
Aww Zippys - think positive. The fact that you're looking at intervention might just trigger that BFP! You never know - worked for others! x
Hurrah! Caught up!
