I have to lay on my left now - if I lay on my right for any length my liver really hurts. And it means I'm facing away from Hom so that's a brucie bonus. It does make it harder to swing my arm across and knock him out blacken his eye for snoring though, esp as it's my hockey-damaged shoulder and thus won't swing all the way round

Aww pand that's so cute. Aren't they adorable at that age!

Girl in the office here went to her Grandson's Mother's Day event at school. It's Foundation class (age 5 for those without kids). Each child had to stand up and say what they were doing that was nice for their mummy.

They got the usual, "Daddy and I are making breakfast in bed for my Mummy". "I've made a card for my Mummy". Then little Jimmy stands up and says, "This Mother's Day, when my Mummy asks me to bring her a beer from the fridge, I'm gonna". no doubt from one mummy in the audience...

cas / do you often argue with your husband about him doing his homework as ski suggests?

skihorse · 24/03/2010 14:29

lol @ carrots! Sorry, just using jailbait arguments for example!

actually SFF, as a mere probabtioner, does have to do homework...

I will let it lie for now. But if he even so much as mentions hormones this evening [anger] he would do well to remember that I am both pregnant and a redhead.

Loving the cute kid tales.

carrotsarenottheonlyvegetable · 24/03/2010 15:00

I promise this isn't me being difficult, I'm genuinely . What's a "probabtioner"? Meaning, I assume you meant to write probationer but in what way is he on probation ().

carrotsarenottheonlyvegetable · 24/03/2010 15:01

And what homework is JB doing ski??? I mean I know he's younger than you but STILL.

carrotsarenottheonlyvegetable · 24/03/2010 15:02

Final question, how many of you have actually seen "oranges are not the only fruit"?

VoilaAnotherGimlet · 24/03/2010 15:33

Hola preggos! Thanks for sleep tips - I am still waking at 4.30am so remain knackered, and lie there fretting about being on my back. Silly, I know.

Ohhhh and Happy Belated Birthday Cnut! Here's a mahoosive chocolate cake filled with custard and topped with mini-eggs and 29 candles. I'll just put the kettle on and get the cake slice.

rots Firefighters can go out, put themselves in burning buildings, save pussy cats, stand next to cars that are about to explode etc after about 10 weeks training. But they get paid pennies until they complete an NVQ, do lots of homework and serve about three years. Then they are fully-fledged, earn a few thousands pounds more a year and can move on to fun things like learning to drive big trucks at high speed...

Nice to see you back vagolina

I feel you. It's amazing how they just don't consider their behaviour sometimes. Thankfully peace is restored here.

CUNextTuesday · 24/03/2010 19:51

Is that because you've stopped speaking?

CurlyCasperReturns · 24/03/2010 20:08

Well, we've not once spoken about last night...

rollerbaby · 24/03/2010 20:30

Donttry she is gorgeous! Well done you mummio.

Cunty go and swap all his CDs around in their cases. I guarantee instant calm.

CurlyCasperReturns · 24/03/2010 20:49

... however, he has, since I last posted, accidentally thrown a glass jug at me!. He was fetching something else down from a shelf for me when the water jug somehow found its way from theback of the shelf to bounce on the work surface, and hit my hand before completely smashing on the quarry tile floor. I am now sporting several plasters, and spent half an hour cleaning glass from all over the kitchen before putting the drizzly into my lemon drizzle cake. Oh the excitement. Haven't screamed like such a girl for a long time

so glad the cake was still in the oven...

SilverSky · 24/03/2010 20:59

Awight peeps?!

Having severe withdrawal symptoms from this thread cos my phone is shagged, so can only use laptop to access and last night I was doing my annual cooking efforts. Even if I do say so myself, last night was about a 7 out of 10.

I digress.

So I has the MW in the morning and I finally got through to my dumbfuck local hospital. Well they have booked my in for my 12 week scan, oh yeah on the day I turn 14 weeks, which I know is not unusual but its feels like its taken forever to get to 11weeks how on earth will I get to 14. I just want to have my scan as I am worrying all the time that somethings wrong and all that jazz. When my mind is whirring and that is constantly I keep thinking what's going on in there.... Don't they understand? Muppets.

At the same time they want to carry out the nuchal scan which at the latest can only be taken at the latest 13 weeks and 6 days, I mean how fucking thick are they. So I will speak to my MW in the morning and see what she suggests. Probably shooting the hospital I would imagine.

I've been eating seeded oaty type bars - I assuming that these are ok to scoff? They are nut and blue cheese free, so I figured they would be ok. Bit late if not as have eaten them all now.

Congrats to donttry so loving the name!! Cant see photo as laptop being shite.

Regarding norks, I used to be a 30G, then seemed to have lost a bit off them down to 32F, but now I is 34E. They look huge and feel heavy and everytime Husband strokes them he does not realise that it hurts and if he goes for a nip that it actually stings. I think he thinks I am making it up but I tell thee it would be fab if they werent so sensitive.

Saw a show called Mum + One and the preggo had a doula, cost her £450 and thought it was really interesting and I finks I would quite like one as I know Husband is going to be a bit useless when things start to hurt. He looks like a startled rabbit watching OBEM so can you even begin to fathom when its me in there screaming???

ski rubbish about the nag. Do they reguarly turn out the same groups of horses together? ie are they an established group or was it due to high jinks due to lack of turn out?

Anyone elses' body temp gone haywire, I wake up hot, I am sat here now hot in just my pj bottoms.

Enuff of the essays. Anyone else out there tonight in preggo land?!
