Morning all. Thought I'd open up and say hi as I'm hardly getting in at the moment.

Hope everyone is ok. I'll try and keep up today

Busy morning here with 3 so taking them to drop in and hope they all behave! But this afternoon is quieter with only one who should nap so will pop back in then!

Have a good day all

Its a Girl

here

crace · 27/03/2008 07:32

Great news about Tori, I am sorry she didn't get her vbac but a happy arrival nonetheless! Give her our best, won't you today?

crace · 27/03/2008 07:33

Hi SB!! Good luck today

thebumcleaner · 27/03/2008 07:43

Good luck!
I have a little girl today (4) as well as my 3 so not too bad. Next week is when I cringe just thinking about who I have got lol.

The little girl managed to wet herself in the car yesterday though (she didn't say anything either that she wanted to go to the loo, or that she had - just sat in it and only said when we asked why the seat was wet!) I hate it when you know that time is running out on mindees. She is moving soon, and I find that you get a bit annoyed at their habits as you loose the incentive to have them well behaved.

Oh well, another day , another well, pound.

dmo · 27/03/2008 08:13

wow 10lb
think we should dicth the tea this morning and have some bubblerly for Tori

shoshe · 27/03/2008 08:20

I know Dad has just been in to bring some clothes for the elder DD looks knackered but elated.

MaureenMLove · 27/03/2008 08:25

Morning all. Still don't much feel like going out today. I'll do the school run in a minute, if I must. I think I'm loosing interest! I've got to drop DH and Kbear's DH at the train station in a bit too. They are going up to London to visit the Black Museum, which is Scotland Yards very own hall of fame and history. Bit gory and not open to the public, I'm told. Our neighbour works at Scotland Yard and has got them a pass.

saltire · 27/03/2008 08:27

Mo - DH ahs been there. he said it was quite gruesome. not the worst he has seen though

Oh, by the way, Scotland had a draw last night.

eleanorsmum · 27/03/2008 08:29

morning all. yay new baby! have fun when you take their dd to see it, lots of cuddles i'm sure!

i've got blood tests this morn, got dd and one mindee to take then off to toddlers at church. feeling a bit down today - have raging headache and p**d off about my dates being wrong. i know it'll all be ok but had my head round it for oct and now it's not. am tired etc and thought it'd be coming to an end in a couple of weeks but i've got 5 more to go till the magic 12. feel like a prat for telling evryone so early (would have only been 3 weeks when we told close friends etc!) still confused over why baby is only 7 weeks not nealry 10 as is my af dates! need a hug.

sorry, being a wimp today!

hennipenni · 27/03/2008 08:33

Morning all, first day back today after the easter break- have been ill all over the easter holidays which wasn't helped by a certain mindees behaviour last week but hey ho. Have only got 18month old mindee plus my own 3 so we're going to go to Nottingham Castle this afternoon.

Congrats to Tori -10lbs

MaureenMLove · 27/03/2008 08:59

Saltire - so I hear! I went to bed at 8pm, so I missed it all.

EM - I hate having blood tests done

Henni - I thought of you yesterday! I went for fish & chips for DD's tea, since I couldn't be bothered and the deep fat fryer was called Henny Penny!

saltire · 27/03/2008 09:09

You didn't miss much. Wales and Northern Ireland won though so at least there was some home nations pride!

thebumcleaner · 27/03/2008 09:29

EM - I was the same with my first one - all set for Jan 1st and then scan said the 25th. Felt like I was preg for 10 months.

looneytune · 27/03/2008 10:06

Just popped in to check for an update...

Congrats to Tori!

EllieM - Not what you wanted to hear - will you still get a dating scan nearer the 12 week mark?

Hi to everyone else and thanks to those who helped on my thread about jabs yesterday. It's now the size of a fist but she's still fine, just keeping an eye on it

nannynick · 27/03/2008 10:30

Morning all, I've just got up... having breakfast. Not doing any work today at all, so I shouldn't really be in staffroom May need to become an engineer today, dishwasher didn't dissolve the powder on it's last run. So I've put it on as hot a cycle as it will do, to see if that will help clear it up a bit.

Congrats Tori - that's the second girl I've heard about being born this week.

crace · 27/03/2008 10:38

Me too, good friends little sister just had a little girl last night too.

crace · 27/03/2008 10:39

BLimey, LT - doc said that was ok?!

hennipenni · 27/03/2008 10:59

LOL at having deep fat fryer named after me!

MaureenMLove · 27/03/2008 11:20

Mine does that sometimes too, Nick. I reckon its a fault with the tablets I use more than anything. Its fine if I use liquid tabs, but powder blocks are sometimes a problem.

crace · 27/03/2008 11:34

Oh, somehow I missed that our regular intruder guest is pregnant! Congrats MamaG if you stop back in!

MaureenMLove · 27/03/2008 11:43

Good innit? I think she's got her scan today, must check on the thread to see if she knows yet. She thought it might be twins! I was actually in on it, I knew it was her!

eleanorsmum · 27/03/2008 12:58

aw babies all round!

am feeling particualry tery today - sure it's just a result of yesterdays news but i don't like feeling like this. hormones!

shoshe · 27/03/2008 13:06

So does anybody know if she is a DoubleG or a SingleG yet?

mumlove · 27/03/2008 13:12

Happy Lunch time to all of you.

3 mindees are now having a nap after running around the garden. It has been quieter today as we dropped DD off at a sports holiday club need to remember to collect her at 3pm!
It is nice and sunny but very cold still, managed to dry some washing , I am fed up of it hanging around the house.

MN must have a virus with all these people getting pregnant, will wait for news on mamag's scan.

I hope tori and baby are well.

mumlove · 27/03/2008 13:13

scan not until 3.30pm (paces the floor to wait)
