Squirrel congrats on a healthy scan. Super exciting!!

bebe that sounds AMAZING!!! I may have to look at getting tickets and making a trip to London one night!

MrsSatsuma · 06/01/2011 17:23

Wow, bebe - I echo the sounds amazing!! How did you win that? Good luck for talk with DH - make him address the issue! Stand in front of the door if necessary! ;)

If it's worth anything to all the pregnant ladies, I don't think I've ever thought anyone pregnant looked huge - just that it was amazing to think there was an actual person in there and how proud they must be! Sorry if that sounds cheesy, but it honestly never occurred to me to think they looked huge in a negative way. I'm sure that when (if!) I get pg I will have similar worries, but just thought I'd my twopennorth!

Yet another person at work is pregnant - there will be no teachers left at this rate! That's what you get for having a staff that is half made up of women in their twenties / early thirties I suppose.... Am very happy for her but did experience a twinge of the green-eyed monster! Am waiting for my just-dispatched basal thermometer to appear, so at least I can feel like I'm doing something to help things every morning!

I totally echo MrsS on the pregnant women NOT looking huge!! I can help but stare at their tummys, and i know that sounds awful, but i'm actually admiring them and their unborns and wishing it was me...i certainly don't think any pregnant woman looks big/fat etc...it's just not that kind of physiology!! Smile

I know i haven't gotten a yes yet...and it will take a while...but i'm planning all sorts in my head...working, house improvements, things to buy for the baby...everything!! More so than my currently pregnant best friend...why won't it stop!!!??? Argh!!!

Anyway, i'm really loving reading about all of you pregnant ladies...and Bebe - i really agree that maybe you could lock him in a room (so to speak) to talk to your OH. It really isn't fair that he can't give you the time of day! Good luck.

AstroZola · 06/01/2011 20:51

I meant that i CAN'T help but stare at the tummys...

bebejones · 07/01/2011 09:33

DH has flu! He's gone to work but he is really poorly! :( I usually think he is making out he is worse than he is, but he is actually proper ill! He fell asleep on the sofa last night just as I was trying to talk to him, how typical is that?!

Will give it another go later, DD has been going on and on all morning about a baby sister! She's been spending a lot of time with her baby cousin lately, although he is a he! Hmm

JustShaggingForNow · 07/01/2011 10:30

Oh bebe it seem like the forces are really conspiring against you at the moment :( Hope that your DH feels better this weekend and you get a chance to chat.

bebejones · 07/01/2011 10:37

I'm keeping everything crossed, he has said that he really wants a chinese tonight (he is massively dosed up on cold & flu & sounding a bit perkier!) and that we can chill out with a bottle of wine & watcha film later, so that might be my 'chance'! Need to sort it soon, coz if he agrees we will need to be SWIing from Monday! Confused

OP posts:
JustShaggingForNow · 07/01/2011 10:53

that sounds like a lovely Friday night Bebe. I've got yet another gym session (the training for the Bath Half has suddenly stepped up!!!) then home to tidy and clean the house for DH's return home.

Think I will try and persuade him to get a takeaway too but as he has been working late he will no doubt have been living off readymeals and take aways all week so probably won't feel like it. Damn it!!

We've booked to go and see Cirque du Soleil after your reccommendation - so excited!

VVVVVVV exciting that you may well be SWIing from Monday!! It will only be me and Astro here waiting soon!

bebejones · 07/01/2011 12:44

JS - yay so excited you booked to go see it! It was fantastic! Hope you enjoy it as much as me & my mum did!

We are sorting out booking to go see Wizard of Oz later in the year, very excited about that!

OP posts:
Quodlibet · 07/01/2011 14:12

Bebe at least whilst he's got flu he's immobilised and can't escape from The Big Talk!

JS I'll definitely be hanging around waiting with you and Astro for a fair while yet; someone's got to keep the drinks carriage in business otherwise in these straightened times we'd be looking at having to make the choice of making either George or Jake redundant and that wouldn't do at all would it?

JustShaggingForNow · 07/01/2011 14:37

God forbid - although if pushed to make a cut I am afraid it would have to be George. Have you seen Jake naked in "Love and Other Drugs"?!?!? Yummy!

Pleased you'll still be here to keep Astro and I company in the bar. Speaking of which... it's Friday afternoon

"Jake - 3 Mojitos please!" Wink

nannyl · 07/01/2011 14:50

hello all

bebe sorry DH is poorly. Hope you have a nice chinese and chat tonight Smile Good luck

No news here except we have LOADS more snow and the decision was made that children could go home at 1pm...
at 1.30 us members of staff who had furtherst to go (and in my class thats me) were allowed to go to.

NONE of the roads have been gritten and I can honestly say i had the scariest journey of my life.... I stuck to a main bis route, bt that was not enough... i was slipping and sliding everywhere... only just made it up a hill slight slope, and every thime i wanted to stop (or just slow slightly) my ABS kicked in.

Then there was the scarey hill down (all the way) with main road at the end. I didnt ever go faster than 16mph, and tried to slow down the WHOLE way down the hill.... at the point where id normally apply my breaks (travelling at normal speed) i was only travelling at 7mph but still only JUST stopped in time Shock

am pleased to be home.

Not been feeling that sick the last couple of days, but definitely feeling much tired-er so going to take this opeprtunity to have na afternoon nap Smile

100years · 07/01/2011 15:20

Hi Ladies, poo pants cam home from work early, sick and dizzy, did the same yesterday and spent nearly 12 hours in bed, I am SO tired! On the settee doing very little at the moment and just thought I would pop in and moan at you. It's OK to feel like this though, means hormones are working hard in me, that has to be good.

bebejones · 07/01/2011 15:23

A little something for the weekend Wink

Nannyl - that sounds terrifying! Glad you are home safe, and that you aren't feeling so sick! :)

I shall come and prop up the bar to help ensure Jake & George keep their jobs! Fancy a cosmopolitan! :o

bebejones · 07/01/2011 15:27

x posted 100 - sorry you feel so sick. The 'hormones working well, all a good sign' were words I heard all too many times when PG. Hold onto that for now, fingers crossed you feel better soon x

OP posts:
JustShaggingForNow · 07/01/2011 15:47

yet more topless Jake Yum!

JustShaggingForNow · 07/01/2011 15:56

Sorry 100 - was distracted by Bebe's link!!
Hope that you feel a bit better soon and that you get chance to rest up over the weekend. Well done for being positive and focussing on the reasons you feel crap and not just the utterly rubbish feeling!

bebejones · 07/01/2011 16:01

Nearly naked Jake Eeeek!!

bebejones · 07/01/2011 16:03

Can you tell I'm a bit bored today?! :o

DD has decided she doesn't want to wear clothes today, which would be fine if a.She was potty trained & b.it wasn't January & freezing! Hmm Managed to persaude her to keep her trousers on, but that is it!! And that was only thanks to bribery & watching the Gruffalo 4 times...in a row!
