Getting Ready For Baby Challenge Thread 5

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

The fastest moving TTC thread where we are all trying to get ourselves ready for our bundles of joys. Come and join the madness.

AB due Sat/Sun so I'm going to test Sun if she hasn't made an unwelcome appearance before then! Having 12 people over for Mother's Day lunch on Sunday so i should know either way by then!!

(I got engaged on mother's day weekend last year so would be pretty cool to get a BFP this year!)

Oh Wiggley I have had one of them too, soooo painful!! I did go to Dr put cant remember what they gave me, but it worked quickly.

Congrats on your bonus Laura!!

I got called about a job yesterday, I'm not looking obviously but it's a step up, £2k increase and closer to home. I feel torn whether i should got for the interview or not!!

Morning girls!! Yay it's nearly POAS time in this group again!! Best of luck hb!!! Mother's day is very fitting!! Also we have nearly filled another thread! Three cheers for the baby challengers!!
red you have nothing to lose doing the interview, you can always turn it down, I feel it's always better to have option than not even if you don't need options!
buzz I vote for parsnips way of telling, and the girls are right, if you are happy and positive about it, she will be too, even if she'll a little shocked initially!
wiggly I second the hot cotton wool suggestion, it might get whatever is in there to rise to the surface, witch hazel is quite soothing too!
grumpy enjoy your night tonight instead of another dinner!
I'm trying to be more positive today, laughter is the best medicine and all that! Let's see how long I last 🙈

You might as well red nothing to lose! You'd get a better idea about the company if you interview & closer to home is always good!

MrsC glad you're giving positivity a try! I've got into the TV show Catastrophe recently & the main lady is Irish... i now read all your (& parsnip's) posts with her voice in my head!!! (You're Irish too Parsnips*?? Hoping i haven't made that up!!)

I've got the day off today cos my car is in for a safety recall (nothing major) and can't work without it!! Good excuse to slack off! Going holiday shopping with my sis later... probably a good distraction!

red go for it! You've got nothing to lose! Would anything stop you from taking it if you got offered the job?

I've thought of a great idea for an announcement! So my hen do is when I'll be like 14 weeks. My friends have got cheesey 'team bride' tops, I can make a 'team bride' baby grow!!!!

I love catastrophe! It's so funny! And yes I always read mrs in an Irish accent 😂 I thought snips was from Manchester? She has a northern voice in my head :)

Haha hb I love catastrophe!! Although I don't really have the same accent as her, it's more neutral I think but still an Irish accent I guess! DH has a very strong accent though!
buzz that's a fab idea!!! So fun!

It's soooo funny... I hadn't seen it before so got to binge watch 2 and a half seasons, all caught up now and have to wait like everyone else!

Love the hen do reveal buzz Your friends will GO NUTS!!!! (In a good way! 👯)

I thought snips was Irish & her other half was Manc!! Happy to be corrected!

Just at the garage & they're talking me into upgrading my car while im waiting! I'm such a push over!

Yes I'm Irish 🍀 (Belfast born) but I did live in Manchester for eight years before moving to Dubai and my husband is a scouser so I'm an honorary North Wester too!

I love the hen reveal idea buzz - get over to Etsy as I'm sure they'll have some great ones there.
