I believe you, millions wouldn't!

Yes please, I'll give you the address, its so annoying!

We didn't do anything special, just a quiet day really. I looked at photos, took some flowers and thought a lot, but nothing can bring him back, so... thanks for asking though.

Enjoy your wine, I'm having an alcohol free week as I feel a bit hefty.

Maybe it's best to remember him through all the everyday things, rather than big things anyway. Didn't mean to be insensitive, sorry He's the Ken in your name isn't he?

My DH's brothers ex girlfriend let her son sleep in his car seat on a permenant basis, I was disgusted. She is so selfish when she got a new boyfriend she moved into his house and made her son at this stage he was 3 she made him sleep on the floor.

She uses him as a pawn when she wants something. She threatens to take him away from his grandparents if she doesn't get things her way.

A child is a gift that some people do not deserve. It makes me so mad.

I have not got a date for the scan or the midwife yet but my doctors receptionist is a nightmare. My DH wants to tell our parents on Saturday I will be 8 weeks then.

I cannot understand anyone who isn't over the moon when they find out they are pregnant it is really irritating.

kensgirl · 04/09/2007 20:44

not insenitive at all!!! he is the ken in my name,

Hi babybratt, hope your ok!

nomoremagnolia · 04/09/2007 20:49

BB Shall I add you DH's bro's ex-gf and you doctor's receptionist to my slapping list? At this rate I'll be travelling the country on a slapping tour (not a slapper tour, before any of you get in with that one )
kensgirl glad I didn't offend you
Ready In light of gilly's review link I am now set on the bug

Kensgirl, I lost my Grandma 12 years ago. I know it is not the same as a parent but I miss her still, she was a wonderful women who I did not tell often enough. When I found out I was having an April baby I thought it was fate, Grandma's birthday was April. If I have a little girl I would like her middle name to be Doreen. I know it is very old fashioned and my DH does not like it so I have a little battle on my hands.

Nomore you will can certainly add her to your list.

mistlethrush · 04/09/2007 22:58

BB - I understand re dh and names - girls names were a real nightmare - my grandmother, who I adored, didn't like either of her names, so we couldn't use them - my other grandmother had the same name as one of DH's aunts - so that was out! Boys names a lot less controversial - so it was nice when a boy turned up!

I didn't want to tell anyone until 14wks (due to 1st mc at 9wks) -had to tell my parents as I was staying there and wanted to ensure that diet wouldn't be a problem. But everyone else didn't get told until then - just being paranoid. Also paranoid about getting things (with you there Kensgirl).

Kensgirl - sorry you had a crap return to work. I know exactly what you mean - been there!

Ds's favourite place to sleep was my arms or my lap - so moving out of his car seat was never a problem for him. He seems to have grown up OK so far...

fifilou · 05/09/2007 12:28

hello ladies......its been a while! hope you missed me lots!

My update-

about 28 weeks. yeah, about time! i think the dress will complement the bump rather than have it 'in yer face' IYSWIM?

nomoremagnolia · 05/09/2007 17:35

Congratulations Scorpio! I'm sure you will be a beautiful bride.... You'll have to make sure you post some pics, the dress is lovely, very flowing and elegant. I can't believe you are that far already .

hi BB! Stick to what you want for names, especilly when it is for sentimental reasons too.

Have you both had ideas yet for first names BB and Scorpio?

Glad I'm not the only one that is stupidly superstitiius, Mistle.

Hows things today, Nomore, Mistle, Ready, Gilly?

Aplogies fro my spelling today, everyone, I'm tired and can't be arsed to go back and correct..

PiggyPenguin · 05/09/2007 19:57

Kensgirl, just to say, congratulations, and that is a beautiful dress!

mistlethrush · 06/09/2007 09:03

Scorpio - congratulations - lovely dress too. Make sure that you arrange a nice, calm, stress-free day so that you don't get too tired!

PiggyPenguin · 06/09/2007 11:21

Oh how embarrassing have just realised put the wrong name on my earlier congratulations, obviously I meant Scorpio. This is what happens when try to watch Heroes and participate in mumsnet at same time. Shame on me!

Ready · 06/09/2007 11:59

OOoh. Congratulations Scorpio - Exciting! The dress is gorgeous. Very excited for you.

What have I missed whilst off sulking and showing myself u?

How is everyone??

mistlethrush · 06/09/2007 12:12

Hi Ready . Not bad, although a bit tired due to long day yesterday. How are you?

Scorpio - if you would like me to orgainse you a wow wedding list from Pampered Chef, let me know!

toomuchtimeonline · 06/09/2007 12:49

Just popping in to say hello! Have had a manic few days at work and off on holiday next week so trying to sort that...

Congrats Scorpio !! Big wave to everyone else - I will try and catch up and post properly later!!

kensgirl · 06/09/2007 20:58

Hello to everyone!

Well, I feel so mean and peevish... The friend at work who was cheesed off because she' pregnant sooner then expected turns outnot to be pg after all with the appeaarance of af... and is dissappointed.. what a lowlife do I feel after my mutterings..
It's a good job you didn't get your boxing glovs out Nomore, or it would take many a moon before I dared crawl out from under my very green stone.

Hope you all feel like more worthwile and supportive ttc'ers than me...

BabyBratt · 06/09/2007 21:52

Congratulations Scorpio, you will have an amazing day. Gorgeous dress. I loved my wedding day I would do it again and again, if you need a tiara or comb making just let me know I am a dab hand.

I like the name Olivia for a first name for a girl. DH's nickname as a child was Oliver because he was always asking for more.

We are going to tell parents this weekend but then I am going to tell everyone else when I have a scan.

I am now being sick twice daily, I only seem to be able to keep fish fingers down. Ginger is not even working or a sea sickness band. I find comfort in my sickness because it hopefully means that everything is going well. I am really paranoid about losing it. I have to keep telling myself that if it happens there is nothing I can do about it.

Hope everyone else is ok. It is DH birthday tomorrow and I am terribly disorganised. I only have a card for him.

PiggyPenguin · 07/09/2007 07:49

I ate fishfinger sandwiches every day for 6 weeks with ds, it was the only thing i could keep down and the only thing I wanted to eat. He is now very healthy (and loud) 6 year old who adores fishfingers.

I didn't eat any with dd...

PiggyPenguin · 07/09/2007 14:22

I am starting to think that I am the kiss of death for this thread. Everytime I post the rest of you bugger off!
