I can see them now! Lovely pics and lovely looking boys you have too, cake looks cool!

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 01/06/2013 21:15

Now some of you may think I'm rubbish for going AWOL again but actually it was just part of my cunning plan to randomly come back and find out that yet another of you lovelies is upduffed!!!! Grin yay shroom i am back for handholding I promise. Lovely lovely news :)

Was just sneaking back to check for news on sabs and 4ever and I can't stop grinning :) Rubbish about the hyperemesis. It gets better at 14/16 weeks for most people but even for those like me who have it all the way through, it does improve slightly usually as you go on. my only suggestion is to sip water in tiny doses constantly. Any more than a sip might come up and dehydration = hospital. Also take multivitamins last thing at night while in bed. Only chance of keeping them down! It will improve. There are also drugs that can help.

And moon is having a moon boy. Lovely :) don't worry missus. Just because you feel blessed doesn't mean pregnancy isn't hard. I found a walk in the evening with dh helped. Though that went out the window second time round thanks to having a gorgeous toddler tucked up in bed as well as severe spd. I had to make do with crappy tv Grin

Welcome back barbie and hello to all you lovelies especially mermaid ooh ee mermaid is here :) xxx

moonmrs · 02/06/2013 13:17

curly Grin nice to see you!

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 02/06/2013 15:09

Hey moon how are you feeling today?

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 02/06/2013 15:11

I was trying to figure out who cloudofstarling is and then I saw a photo of two very cute welsh boys :)

CurlyLikesShortShorts · 02/06/2013 15:12

At least I hope that I'm right cloud Hmm

moonmrs · 02/06/2013 16:04

I'm good thanks curly how are you and your 2 little ones?

cloud is someone who you used to be able to eat Wink

It's mine and dh's 1st wedding anniversary next weekend Shock where did that year go??

moonmrs · 03/06/2013 13:07

Random question..... If you start a thread, I'm sure there used to be a way to finish it so you dont get anymore replies, or did I make that up? I thought there was a way to make the thread full, or maybe its my imagination!

CloudOfStarlings · 03/06/2013 14:00

Grin you are right curly and thanks for the compliment about my boys Grin they are pretty cute!
Sorry we keep confusing you with name changes! Just keeping you on your toes!

Wow moon a year really!! And I bet at the time you never dared hope just a year later you'd be well on the way to having your own little boy! I don't know about finishing a thread but I know you can ask for them to be deleted..

4everhopeful · 03/06/2013 14:28

Big hello & waves to the lovely Curly!!! Your cunning plan made me Grin How's you and your little darlings? Am i right in thinking a certain little fellas 1st birthday is imminent?

Talking of which Cloud how's the cake coming along? Lovely to see your beautiful boys looking so grown up on your profile! cake looked yummy too! Smile

Moon fraid i don't know about the thread stuff, don't tend to veer that far from our lil cave here! Wow can't believe a yr has passed since DFGrin became DHGrin are you doing anything special?

Shroom I'm still Grin for you! How are you doing?

I had a very relaxed weekend after my little scare, bit weebly, felt like getting loads of braxton hicks which made me a bit anxious, but actually think maybe he's finally trying to get his head down as hes been transverse the last few wks! Very achey feeling, weebling a bit cos GD increases risk of placental abruption, but that's more post edd hence need for induction... All go again this week, whooping cough jab this morning, tomorrow its the first preschool workshop at playgroup with all the other kids & parents starting in sept so really important to get too, its every wk, not sure for how long, am really struggling getting around now so timing of all this is not great, the preschool open day is 9 days after edd too! Hmm Typical!

I know I can't believe its been a whole year either, it seems crazy to think this time last year I was ridiculously excited and willing the day to arrive! We don't really have much cash to do anything exciting, so we're gonna take a picnic to one of our favourite spots where we spent a lot of time in the early days, and hopefully the weather will be nice. Its up a big hill with some castle ruins, and we spent many summer days and evenings there in my student days. May possibly stretch to a meal out later on, but we'll see. Tbh I am very happy not to do much, I have my lovely dh and a wriggly bump, and I am more than content to just remember the day and enjoy some time together. Like you said cloud I would have never dared to dream I'd be in this position a year down the line and I'm so grateful to have been given another shot at it.

4ever no I don't usually, and I shant be doing it again! Eek your little man is getting ready to come out! So exciting. Try not to be too weebly (says the queen of weebles).

Bless you rumours for finding me and sticking up for me. I am just ignoring any comments on there now, I think some of those people were a bit rude really, it was uncalled for and I'm not responding or else I'll be rude back and that's not nice either!

Rumours · 03/06/2013 22:09

moon I couldn't get over the jumping to assumptions and judgeyness of some! You can hide the thread then you won't see or have access to it. {{{hugs}}}

Barbie1 · 04/06/2013 21:40

Looks like I've killed the thread now I'm back Hmm

Popping in to update on shroom. She has been admitted to hospital due to extreme sickness but wishes to thank curly or was it cupcake for the tips and advice.

Will update when I hear more.

Moon, check your inbox Missus!

Packing, painting. Writing list, selling, stressing and not much else. We Leave next fri so will try to do a proper post when I get a min x

4everhopeful · 05/06/2013 07:09

Thanks and Wine to my old pregnancy buddy Cloud X

4everhopeful · 05/06/2013 08:04

Shroom oooeeef to the sickness being so bad you're in hospital, but also a little Smile that its a great sign of a strong bean Smile and you're on enforced bedrest these precious early wks, being closely monitored! Can see lots of positives, though know it must be awful too feel so rotten.. x

Moon blummin MN harpees and their inane flamings, had similar treatment once, not nice, hope it didn't bring you too down and well done lovely rumours leaping to your defense Wink

Good luck barbie with your move... Au revoir Paris!

DH took Summer to her to her 1st preschool workshop at playgroup thing yesterday instead of me, was bit disappointed to miss it, but apparently its running til term time so plenty more to get too & nice for DH cos he never gets to do the playgroup thing, and best of all she loved it! Smile Was all cos i was weebling pretty bad due to all of the tightenings & pains all weekend, called delivery suite back and they said come back in and they monitored heartbeat which was good, then scanned to check position & turns out he has finally gone from
transverse to head down, so that's what all the pain was, cervix still closed so all ok thank god! Long day but better safe than sorry... Smile Another bad nights sleep too, so super shattered, gonna spend day sunning in the garden in Summers paddling pool! Smile Just wanna fast forward these next few wks, ouch ouch yawn!

Poor shroom I hope they get you sorted soon. You'll feel better when you're rehydrated. I don't know if they'll offer you drugs but if they do, I just wanted to say that my sis took them with all her pregnancies and had very healthy babies. I know it is something I worried about and managed to do without as i wasnt as sick as her but if you are being hospitalised it is definitely worth considering. Big hugs xxx

Hugs to you too 4ever. I can't wait to meet your little man. Good memory about curlyboy's birthday :) I need to get planning.

I can't believe you are nearly married a year moon :) what are you planning for the weekend or more to the point, what is dh planning? Grin Who was being mean to you on another thread? We can get in the barbiemobile and sort them out if you like Hmm

Where are you moving to barbie? Back to London?

Waves to rumours how are your gorgeous boys?

Happy birthday to lovely j cloudofstarlings :)

Barbie1 · 05/06/2013 11:29

Curly off too korea!

Anyone have a number for moon? I have a parcel to send her is she wants it, I'm desperate to post or I'll take to charity shop. However I need to do so ASAP, my time is running short!

If you have could you please ask her to check her inbox

CloudOfStarlings · 05/06/2013 23:10

Thanks ladies! He's had such a lovely day, will post the cake tomorrow..it was a huge success & it's all he's talked about (much more than his presents!) so I'm really really chuffed as it took ages Grin he also had his card shown on cbeebies!! Which made me cry Blush we had a little picnic party in the garden with friends today and he was so happy & kept saying "this is a lovely birthday picnic mummy" haha!

shroom urgh, sounds awful but as 4ever says, enforced bedrest is excellent! Hope ds is ok with you gone, bless you it must be so hard.

barbie don't think any of us have a number for moon but sure she'll be along soon. And you could never kill a thread! Massive loads of luck with the move you're such a brave lady.

moon omg I couldn't believe someone basically said women's inequality in the workplace was your fault on that thread, haha!! Ridiculous! You were so right that your question wasn't being answered anymore. Hope you're ok cos I always feel rattled by stuff like that even if it is just 'words on a screen'

CloudOfStarlings · 06/06/2013 09:28

Just posted a pic of the cake :)

littlebellsmum · 06/06/2013 20:57

Barbie1 · 07/06/2013 08:31

lbm good go

Barbie1 · 07/06/2013 08:32

Good go

Barbie1 · 07/06/2013 08:47

Grrrr bloody phone.

I'll start again

lbm good work on the fasting. It's not so bad after all is it? Have you stood on the scales yet? I'm bouncing around 55kg. Just one point something kg off my target.

It. Just. Won't. Move!
I'm sure the stress of the up coming week will help.

How are the other ladies who wanted to lose the weight coming on?

I'm doing the 5.2 diet. It's easy enough and It finally gave my body the push to get into the eights (stone) which I have been struggling with since Christmas.

I also have applied to so the London marathon. No idea why Hmm I can't run for s**t! I have been doing 2.5 miles most evenings and am working my way up to doing a 5k comfortably

We are still packing, the removers arrive on Wednesday so it's all systems go!

Not much else going on with me. I've just been focusing on the weight and my health over the last few months and now all focus on the move....

And the shopping trip I have to look forward too in London. Sans enfants!!! Tres excited!

A whole new wardrobe just for me

Totally at home in the style and beauty section, the trouble is they link to so many nice things I need them all Grin

Neeko · 07/06/2013 11:23

Hello. Sorry I've been quiet. Been lurking but never seem to get round to posting Hmm

So, so lovely to see so many of the old "gang" back.

Well done to the weight lossers. I'm still holding my own. I am half a pound off a stone weight loss and the lightest I've been since having Dd1 Blush Shock Ultimately want to lose another 10lbs but won't manage all of it before Florida in three weeks Wink

Barbie London shopping trip sounds amazing. Enjoy. Know exactly what you man about S&B threads. They always make me Envy .
I have a child-free shopping day with my mum tomorrow for new swimmer. Won't be buying much else though as saving for Floridian bargains!Smile

Cupcake Happy belated birthday to your lovely boy and apologies for missing it Blush

Have to go. Work is calling but will be back later. Those with bumps and soon-to-be-bumps should take care and put their feet up xx

4everhopeful · 08/06/2013 12:30

Agh more wobbly weebling - when they checked my cervix was closed when i had to go delivery suite with my little scare and panic worrying about placental abruption on tuesday, they took a swab, didn't think anymore of it - got a call yesterday - turns out I have group B strep Sad bloody google (specifically nhs website Hmm) scared the life out of me & left me sobbing that if baby ends up infected during birth there's a bloody 1 in 10 chance he could die... Sad Shock The midwives were great and adamant that so long as I'm treated with an IV antibiotic drip during labour and birth, it will protect baby, and that he will then be closely monitored and also treated with antibiotics if necessary, but still... Confused Confused Sad Why can't things just be straightforward? I feel like my stupid old body is just failing me and letting baby down... I'm trying to look on the positive that at least I know now, so can be treated during labour, the worst outcomes are when women don't know and aren't treated,in fact really I'm very lucky as screening is not routine, so thank god I had that scare on tuesday and they just happened to do it... Also cos of stupid gestational diabetes we will be kept in 48hrs anyway so they can monitor babys blood sugar levels so was prepared that my poor newborn son is going to be poked and prodded in his first few days, which of course is all for the absolute best and although not the perfect scenario, thank god we have a great hospital and he's going to be getting top treatment... still barely slept last night, and feeling very wobbly, hormonal and vulnerable... Also guilty for shouting at Summer earlier... agh....
