Yay beedles that's brilliant!

Well done little beans!

ControlGeek · 28/04/2016 14:03

Oh beedle that's brilliant news, I can imagine how relieved you must be! Deep breath and enjoy from here on in :) Now go buy that babygro!

Yes to a much better brooking year, last year really was utter tripe all round.

Sorry, someone asked about telling my family, I can't remember who (can I say I have baby brain yet?!) - I phoned my mum from the car park of the scanning place, straight after the scan. MrG needed some time before he was fit to drive so it seemed like a good opportunity. She's been involved in every IVF, so was over the moon as she knows we've never got this far before. My dad will be harder to tell as he has dementia. I think we'll probably wait until I've started to show.

Beedle amazing news! What a great day in Brooking land!

Yes last year was shit apart from for me as I got my Brooking baby then!

Imps9 · 28/04/2016 14:37

Aaaah of course Cup - you were the shining beacon of Brooking success breaking through the cold, grey fog of TTC shittiness.

Anyone think that all these talented celebs who have passed on in 2016 so far have simply been making room for Brooking babies? I bagsy having the new Prince Grin

Ooh yes imps Prince Barry-Baxter has a nice ring to it :o

cups how could we forget the shining light of Little Z last year!

geek I sent my mum a text and promised her an emailed photo this evening! Maybe best to wait a bit with your dad, MIL is the same but further along and in a care home. I doubt she will understand that its her grandchild if we get that far. Luckily FIL is great with kids (probably better than my own dad with small babies!)

keepitgoing · 28/04/2016 15:32

Omg I've had to go to the work loos to do this imps!!

geek lovely to tell your mum x

BeedlesPineNeedles · 28/04/2016 16:46

Ooh a proper bump, I will try again to get one of me tomorrow! And I like your top!

We are celebrating our good news with some alcohol-free sparkling wine :o

ControlGeek · 28/04/2016 18:43

Sorry cups, I also though Z was the year before!

keep OMG you've got a proper bump going on there! Looking lovely with it :)

Imps9 · 28/04/2016 19:09

Hurrah for a lovely bump Keep! Yes Beedles please do try again tomorrow Grin If you're using an iPhone, did you know you can use the volume buttons as the shutter release for the camera? It makes bumpies easier. I only ask as a couple of my friends weren't aware of that (the button bit I mean, not the fact that it makes taking bumpies easier).

Oh shit Pasta Shock Grin Really thought that R was much older than that. I didn't intend that she formed part of the cold, grey fog that is TTC shittiness, honest Grin

OP posts:
Pastamancer · 28/04/2016 19:59

She's 13 months and N is 4 next month

Imps9 · 28/04/2016 20:06

Blimey, I'd have said 18 months at least.

Oooh have just seen that Mothercare has some lovely bright and very reasonably-priced baby stuff here

OP posts:
keepitgoing · 28/04/2016 20:15

Whoops pasta but she only just slipped into 2015 then

I know the bump just seemed to pop out! Guess I have no stomach muscles anymore... It's a dress beedle

Ah, what a fabulous day for the brookers

and what is this fake sparkling wine? I've been having alc free beer but not seen this - must investigate, is it any good? I don't really like sweet stuff

keepitgoing · 28/04/2016 20:16

My dB is having a boy! We have 3 girls in this next generation so far, so v exciting

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 28/04/2016 20:31

Jaggy also had a baby in 2015

I can't believe how many Brooking babies started school this year

I'm still buzzing for you Geek and Beedle

I'm going to pick up the eggs baby grow too Grin I love little bird and mother care stuff. I like dressing Zack in bright clothes. We had a lot of hand downs from SIL, her youngest is 7 so there was some good retro stuff in there! I still bought a fair bit as I love shopping.

Yay to your nephew Keep! I've got 7 nephews, no nieces

I did NCT Imps, my course was £140 so a lot cheaper. I still see all of the Mum's and babies. I got on with them well so it was worth it for that. None of my friends have babies the same age or work part time so I really needed the company this past year. I have made friends through baby groups and MN too so would have been fine without NCT I'm sure

cartoontrickster · 28/04/2016 20:32

I love the jools range in mothercare imps
Congratulations to your bro keep
Hand Me a glass of that fizz beedle

So I'm pumped full of 200 cal worth of egg protein and rattling around from a load of vitamins dh has just administered my first bum bullet. I start the steroids in the morning.
The clinic had moved to a different location but only up the road lovely place but I had a chair imps! A reclining one but still what happened to my bed! Can I ask where you were having your drips? All was fine but after a bit my arm got quite uncomfortable and was blistering where the thingy was in so she had to swap it to the other arm! I then had a bit of a funny turn I felt really weird and faint. I'm not good with needles and blood!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 28/04/2016 20:32

Lovely bump Keep SmileSmileSmile

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 28/04/2016 20:39

Have you all seen the baby blankets and cardigans Maybe now makes? They are so beautiful. I'm trying to justify getting one for Zack even though he's got lots of blankets!

NoCupcakesOrCocktails · 28/04/2016 20:39

Missed your post Trix. Yay to first drip and injection x

Imps9 · 28/04/2016 22:18

Ooooh where do I find Maybe's baby stuff? I have finished my second and third blankets for Barry-Baxter - here's a photo of the third one, not taken a photo of the second one yet
