kayzi, I'll shout really loud so you can hear me if anything happens

my lovely tea is sitting on top of dear bump as I ate it too quick to get back here

you've probably got a whole lot more room than me though

ruty · 18/04/2008 19:13

how exciting...waiting with baited breath...

dizzydixies · 18/04/2008 19:13

pmsl - your poor friend Starlight, I only crave orange capri sun but its bad enough with all the sugar it has in it!

VictorianSqualor · 18/04/2008 19:13

paranoidmummy has just texted peachy, she had a baby boy yesterday 8lb 4(? I've forgotten already!)
Don't know if she got her VBAC yet though.

dizzydixies · 18/04/2008 19:14

oh lovely, she's on our scottish thread - will have to check if they know

kayzisexpecting · 18/04/2008 19:14

My mum craved cigerettes when she was expecting my brother. She used to buy a pack and just sniff them(unlit) she would then give them to my uncle when they stopped smelling I bet he loved about 9 months of free fags.

VictorianSqualor · 18/04/2008 19:15

I dont teach yet starlight, was going to teach English at secondary school but now DP's made me think I might be better in midwifery.

They are both jobs I'd love to do, both could change someones life, both have great passion for me............

Tigerschick · 18/04/2008 19:15

Ooh! Come on Scorpio! Hope everything is going really well

Good luck and Congrats to all you other lovely ladies.

sweetkitty · 18/04/2008 19:16

Come on Scorpio wishing you an easy (ish) one hope you've got that little girl in your arms now.

ImightbeLulumama · 18/04/2008 19:18

fitnfortyone · 18/04/2008 19:24

peachy, you're just down the road from me, i live near asda/tredegar house! And what a cute photo in your profile!

Bored now Scorpio, what's happening?

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 18/04/2008 19:26

I think it's safe to say she's not making wind chimes.

(no, you're not going to be allowed to forget it!!! )

oh Game was sold out of Mario Carts today when we looked, will look tomorrow. I'm so rubbish at computer games I think DP just likes to play me for the laugh, I'm sure 3 yo DD3 has better hand/eye coordination than me.

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 18/04/2008 19:30

just got all excited then.

phone going mad.

couldn't figure out what was going on... phone sitting next to me, completely silent.

Could hear phone ringing.

Eventually found dp's phone in his coat pocket. Twas his mate wondering if he's off to the pub.

dizzydixies · 18/04/2008 19:30

tesco had it

we don't let dds use the wii, we'd never get them off it and dd2 is too much of a thug

will let you know if its any good

dizzydixies · 18/04/2008 19:30
