Especially for you
I wanna let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart
I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same

Especially for you
I wanna tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know
I would have flown to you
To be where you are
No matter how far
And now that I'm next to you

No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you

And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

Especially for you
I wanna tell you, you mean all the world to me
How I'm certain that our love was meant to be
You changed my life
You showed me the way
And now that I'm next to you

I've waited long enough to find you
I wanna put all the hurt behind you
And I wanna bring out all the love inside you, oh

And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

You were in my heart
My love never changed
No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you

And now we're back together, together
I wanna show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

Aw Bella - Your fave thread We all want to join you soon. Happy New Year!

BellaBear · 01/01/2008 11:31

Well, i never joined the Due in Feb one, and it seems a bit late now (35 weeks) so think i will give it a miss. I am haunting various knitting threads as well though.

What's the news here?

Ready · 01/01/2008 11:34

Nomore is the knitting queen, but you knew that
Crikey o'riley - I remember talking about you to someone (who shall remain nameless ) and saying how close you were to your due date. Hold out for the 10th baby Bella

2008 is our year, we will get our bumps. We will!!

scorpio1 · 01/01/2008 11:44

Happy new year everyone!

Bella - wow 35 weeks!! hope you are well.

BellaBear · 01/01/2008 11:45

You Will Get Your Bumps

Hi Scorpio!

scorpio1 · 01/01/2008 11:49

I second that.

This year is the bumpy year!

mistlethrush · 02/01/2008 11:08

Happy New Year everyone

I hope everyone had a good New Year, and slightly less interesting than ours - at least in terms of New Years eve of which I spent a large part in Casualty with anaphalactic shock due to a pain killer for toothache... Horrendous rash and nasty swelling of hands and face, but no problems with breathing luckily - so only kept in to make sure that there was no deterioration following the steroids wearing off, but not my ideal New Years eve.

Luckily we had friends with us - who offered to leave at about 7.30/8am - I said no, but went down hill and we left them looking after ds while I went to the Doctors as an emergency - she was giving us the option of going home (after having given me some steriods) or to casualty - but at that time I felt so faint I had to lie down on the floor so she decided that casualty was probably the best option!

Luckily, Christmas was a bit quieter - in terms of happens at least, although ds made up for it in terms of general noise levels...

Blimey MT - what a way to start the year!!
We had a great NYE with friends (DGodS's parents) and spent NY Day with DH's family, where I bored impressed them all with my knitting
Hi Bella Thanks for introducing me to Ravelry - though DH kind of wishes you hadn't as I'm now spending all my spare time either knitting or on the internet and he's feeling left out!
Scorpio How are you? Not long til the wedding now It was the end of Jan wasn't it?
Ready Welcome back online chick

hi, very excited today. Had my 16 week anomaly scan with consultant (family history of spina bifida) and everything was fine. I was really nervous but am on a real high now.

We also got to find out the sex, we asked the consultant if he would mind looking and once he did it was fairly obviously we were having a boy! Even I could see his family jewels!

Any good ideas for names? Sorry to go on, and if I'm upsetting anyone coming back onto this thread and telling you all my news please please tell me, but this was my first mumsnet thread and you were all my first friends so it would be odd not to share with you. If you think I shouldn't however, please say.

Don't be daft Sybil it's lovely to hear from you What we get annoyed about is those who graduate and then forget us
Congrats on a son then - do you already have one of each? I know you have DD (did she like her pink dog?? ) I don't know if I'd want to kno the sex or not...guess I'll have to wait and see how I'd feel at the time. What sort of boy's names do you like? Traditional or trendy or somewhere between the two?

OP posts:
Ready · 02/01/2008 18:23

MT - My word!! Your new years eve sounds horrendous. Hug. Would it be churlish to sing "things can only get better"? Onwards and upwards hey!!

Nomore - I am sure you didn't bore anyone with your knitting. I am super impressed

Sybil - How exciting, a boy huh - please continue to share your news with us, it's always lovely to hear how people are getting on. Nomore hit the nail on the head, it's getting forgotten about that stings the most. And hey, I am always first in line to talk names - what did you have in mind? Do you have a regular surname or a funky one? Obviously don't tell us, but just so we know how far we can go with first name ideas 'citing

scorpio1 · 02/01/2008 18:29

wedding is 2 weeks saturday, the 19th.

hope all well?

and god, some people can be so nosey can't they about how/when/if/how many children. i just smile sweetly.

lots of peple have thought Millie was an accident or that im nuts , err, no i am not. and yes, i may have more after this one (god willing). nosey beggars.

Ready · 02/01/2008 18:36

oooh how exciting Scorpio!! I love weddings. I went to one just before Christmas and it was lovely. My pearl of wisdom, is, savour every minute. The day goes by so quick, it's unreal and if you can afford it, get the photographer to take LOADS of photos. You won't regret it.

scorpio1 · 02/01/2008 18:44

oh we're not having a photographer, lots of people will have digi cameras and we are going to sift through the best ones after!

We are doing it cheaply

nomoremagnolia · 02/01/2008 18:51

sift through the best cameras? They won't be your friends after that
Seriously I agree with Ready It all goes by so quickly. Some of our best photos were from the disposable cameras we put out on the tables (in 2002 only 2 people at our wedding had digital cameras )

OP posts:
scorpio1 · 02/01/2008 18:57

yeah we are doing disposable ones on tables and out-laws, my parents and 2 sets of friends will have digi cameras, they have been ordered!

and am so chuffed my dress is maternity! (big bump emoticon) also have a cream fake fur shrug to go with it.

Ready · 02/01/2008 21:23

The disposable camera pictures are great to look at, because of course you can't be on all the tables, and it's great to see how everyone enjoyed themselves.

Wedding fever

mistlethrush · 02/01/2008 22:32

Wow - what a busy day!! and after so many slow ones...

My sil was married at 5 mo (her dress made it look 7 months, but it didn't matter!) - hope your day goes really well! One good piece of advice I was given was try to take 30 mins out during the day for yourselves - having a little time out does help to enable you to savour the day more easily - and you'll probably need it!

Ready - we are hoping that things are somewhat less dramatic than they were at the end of last year! Hows things going with you?

Ready · 03/01/2008 00:24

MT, maybe next new years you can relax with the hootenanny - and a new baby I feel a little sombre this evening... looked back at some old posts, and one one thread everyone has graduated but me so feeling a little left behind. Daft I know.
Sorry don't want to bring down the thread

PiggyPenguin · 03/01/2008 09:45

Oh Ready, I am sorry, but your turn will come. In the meantime, we get to appreciate you.

Scorpio, you must be so excited! what a fantastic start to the new year.

Nomore, I'm open to all sorts of names but dh likes traditional. Both ds and dd (who loved, loved loved her dog by the way)have traditional names and both end in 'a', so another of those would be nice, although I thibk I may already have the only boys one. (Joshua). Our surname is two syllables and starts with a b, so fairly easy to match. Any ideas?

Ready · 03/01/2008 10:26

Thanks Sybil - Would you go for a 'a' sounding finish, or would you prefer them to all look the same written down? If the 'a' sound is ok...How about Connor?? Oliver? Alexander? Oscar? Noah? Micah?

Ready · 04/01/2008 20:51

Wheeeerrrreeeeee iiiiissssss eevvvvvveerrrryyyyybbbooooodddddyyyyyyyyy????

Do any of you remember the knitted baby ugg boots? Well I've started knitting them!!

OP posts:
Ready · 05/01/2008 11:00

I had gone. And I suspect the same is true of you now

I remember those ugg boots... oooh they are soo lovely, and I am not really a fan of Ugg boots for grown-ups. at your knitting skills.

Ready · 05/01/2008 18:00

It's oh so quiet

it's oh so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until...
you blow a fuse
zing boom
the devil cuts loose
zing boom
