Ready · 17/10/2007 18:54

wow, that kid has some serious hair.

i'm bored. can't be bothered to go to the gym or work on my thesis. since my mc in august, i find it hard to get interested in the stuff i used to . . .
instead i spend time googling things like ovulation or increasing fertility

i am just basically waiting to get pg again

PiggyPenguin · 17/10/2007 20:13

Hi all, how are you all doing today? Had my kids parent evenings tonight and they both had glowing reports. I am a very proud Sybil this evening!!

Glad to see the fantasy shopping back
Toomuch, I'm thinking of getting a foetal heart monitor, any one heard any good/bad reviews?

Ready · 17/10/2007 20:27

Tjuice - Get googling ridiculously expensive babywear and baby items - it is the best retail therapy

Ready · 17/10/2007 20:28

Congrats on the glowing reports Syb

Ready - love the slippers and hat. But could knit a hat like that myself... in fact, the hat that I knitted for ds (yellow as didn't know either way) was very cute. Had a tassle on the top - on the end of a long twist....

Just got back from parents evening at ds's nursery. He's just about to 'move up' - been ready to move for some time now!

Toomuch - put on weight as the only way not to feel sick was to eat. Particularly on journeys - and had quite a number of those - can remember taking lots of things to eat with me (including runner beans (raw) and apples etc) and getting to the stage that I couldn't eat any more as I was full, so having to go onto sweets to stop feeling sick.

I think that I will stick with feeling sick this time and try not to put the weight on - if it lasts that long anyway. Mind you, I put a stone on last autumn after mc and ensuing worry.

Not going anywhere for the moment. Thank you all for good wishes and s, but not going to plan ahead as yet.

TJuice · 17/10/2007 21:59

ready - do you have piles of baby stuff?
i have resisted that so far - still just shopping for me. i did buy one or two maternity things when i was pg but have hidden that along with my scan pic and what to expect book until further notice . . .

i like buying cute baby things for my friends though.

mistlethrush · 17/10/2007 22:17

After 1st experience didn't get any baby stuff until 5 months (Jan sales) - prev time had just got maternity jacket for work - and it had to lurk in the cupboard for 2 yrs.

If this one does stick and turns out to be of the pink variety, I think it will still get dressed in lots of trousers and dungarees! probably have to have a pink dye session to change the colours of some tops to go under.

Otherwise, no point in keeping the huge bags of clothes that are all put away (not very carefully!)

Ready · 17/10/2007 23:11

TJuice - I haven't actually bought anything for my non-existant baby. I have a little bear that was given to me as a gift that I am saving for if/when I have a baby - but all the links are purely fantasy shopping. Did I worry you??

Mistlethrush - In that case, feel free to knit all of us on this thread a bonnet - could I please have a white one??

mistlethrush · 18/10/2007 09:55

Better start knitting then hadn't I!

Mind you, you need to know how big the baby's head is going to be - I had a fairly good idea that dc's head wouldn't be small - and was right! (Mind you, nothing about him was really very small. His hands were like little spades - really chunky!)

Can't wait for all old-timers on this list to manage to get off it eventually.

Ready · 18/10/2007 10:06

Fair point Mistlethrush - I wonder if there is an old-wives tale to follow, whether you follow your own mother with babies, or if you look to the size your DH was?? I was a small baby, but DH was a bruiser baby!
Giggling at the thought of little spades as hands - cute

How is everyone this fine morning??

...and by the way i think we should all get topical names for halloween

Ready · 18/10/2007 15:18

Guilty as charged Although I haven't been on the hunt for anything crazy today

It was a long time ago now that he died, but what you said about the clusters etc just reminded me. Definitely makes you realise how fragile life is hey

Ready · 18/10/2007 15:19

ooooh yes, I forgot about Halloween names....

gillypumpkin · 18/10/2007 15:28

Ready to be scary?

ReadySteadyTrickOrTreat · 18/10/2007 15:41

OOOh, I like that Gilly - but I had already changed to this... should I change it??

gillypumpkin · 18/10/2007 16:07

na, mine rhymed nicely in my head but didn?t look good on the screen, I like yours though

nomoremagnolia · 18/10/2007 16:34

gilly can you think of one for me - keeping the nomore bit if possible I'm struggling to think of anything

Hey everyone, loving the scary halloween names, umm, I'll have to get my thinking cap on...

I'm ok thanks Gilly, I have killer indigestion and slightly sore boobs but otherwise am not feeling the pg at all. Still, only 5 + 4 so early days yet.

I'm not too worried about piling on the pounds, I have done ok the two times and anyway, the bfeeding afterwards soon takes it off!

ReadySteadyTrickOrTreat · 18/10/2007 17:28

gillypumpkin · 18/10/2007 17:33
