The Good Husband of TTC Drive (No1 Babies Detective Agency pt5)

[nomoremagnolia]

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

New thread especially for Ready

Can I just say... and please know that it only comes from the best place, not being a kill-joy.
But smoking outside is still not a good idea - smokers carry the toxins from the cigarettes on their skin and clothes and as soon as you go back in the house - the toxins are in the environment.

Have a look at the link on this thread - absoultely hysterical!

Ready -I know, i havent smoked for a while (well before ttc) and dont intend to start again. If i did have one i would be out with my friends and nowhere near my family, trust me. I am very aware of smoking and the effects and hate it near/around children.

Sorry Scorpio - phew

Nomore - what the heck was she going on about!!

How's tricks ladies? Cold and damp and dreary here.

Gosh, it's been busy (turn my back for a couple of days, and loads of new messages). Did try to catch up yesterday but DH was trying to explain some of the intricacies of cricket to me - in the end discovered that I couldn't look interested and read my laptop at the same time

I know nothing about buggies - other than how to collapse the ones used by nephews / nieces / friends' children - so I clearly have some catching up to do. I remember my mum being so pleased when buggies came out for my younger siblings (from a large family) that she didn't have to push babies round in a big pram anymore and yet Bugaboos look quite bulky (probably showing my ignorance here) and I wonder how easily they fit in the boot of a car. Or am I just being ridiculously practical?

Nomore Sorry you had a wasted trip to the hospital on Thursday . Hope you're feeling better now.

Gilly I've had some of the same conversations with my DH as you - I tried my best to be laid back (excuse pun!) about it in the first few months but then I'd just get frustrated and upset with myself as I didn't feel we'd bd-ed enough at the right time. We then tried one month where I told him and it was a bit counterproductive. I even told him where I write down my cycle dates so he could work out when I ovulate without having to have the conversation. Now, however, I think, with the referral date looming, that he's accepted that we need to make a more conscious effort.

Hello to Babybratt. I remember lurking on the thread (took me a while to start posting) when you got your BPF. Can't believe how time's flown!

Londonlottie Hope you resolved your lock situation without too much of a problem.

Right - need to get dinner out of oven so will have to look at rest of virtual shopping another time. Hello to everyone else.

pmsl at you having the intricacies of cricket explained to you Hobnobs - been there, and have the mental scars to prove it I still don't totally get it. But dh finds it highly amusing when I wave my hand back and forth when we score a 4 (or is it 6?)

I have a ford focus, the boot is mahoosive - I have got in there! Please can I have a bugaboo?

I'm away one weekend and you all go crazy!!

Hello everyone - loving the fact that we're all chatting away like troopers again!!

.. ok joining in the pram wars.. I want a buggy that works from birth to toddler so I don't have to buy a new one - it has to be able to face in reverse as I want to be able to speak to my little - it needs to have lots of space underneath to store things - and I want proper wheels not these crappy plastic ones - I will use it on paths and also a little offroad but nothing extreme - I have a fairly big boot - and I'm going to get a seperate car seat etc so it doesn't need to have all that...

Do your best ladies!!

Trying to catch up...

BB - he's absolutely gorgeous!! Sorry to hear your having issues though - what is reflux? Is it likely to last long?

Sybil - can't believe you're in your third trimester already!! Not sure if you've told us but did you find out the sex?

Scorpio - not quite sure what 3/5ths means but sounds painful - not long now till you get to drink wine and wear mini skirts {toomuch stares wistfully into the distance as she remembers wearing mini skirts many moons ago...}

ready - ooo holiday! Where are you thinking of going?

Nomore - that link was a classic!

hobnobs - I had the weekend off too and it's taken me ages to catch up - how are you feeling chick? Are you in the business end of your cycle now?

Gilly - how's it going? lol at you doing a census of prams as you walked down the street - my dh can't help but examine them now when we are out - in the same way he used to look at an expensive car

Londonlottie - did you fix your lock issue? sounds like just the sort of thing I'd do.. p.s. more stoking the flames of the pram wars..

anyone I've missed - big hello!

phew..

You are all lovely. Will let you google finer points of reflux, but it is basically heartburn for babies and involves pain and throwing up.

Nomore - you are particularly lovely! Have said so in the email but also wanted to say it publicly!

bella you are more than welcome anything I can do to help please say.
scorpio I have bought the pink wool today so Millie's boots will be in production as soon as I've finished baby makecakes's second one

Thankyou so much nomore she will look fabulous!

MW was supposed to be here at 10am for homebirth appt - i had solicitors at 11.30, so i rang her at 11am and she said she wouldnt be round till about 4pm!!

I have very bad PMT. Made slightly better by the fact i have just sold our PC (we use laptop now), get paid tomorrow and i had alco-free lager yesterday which was wonderful.

LL Yay to fixed lock - but boo to cramping - although don't give in - I had period style cramping for the first 3 weeks (mother nature is very cruel to make AF and early pregnancy feel so similar )

Scorpio - how dare the nasty midwife keep you waiting {stamps foot!} Didn't realise you were going for a home birth - I'd love a home birth! Have you done it before?

nomore - you a dab hand at the old knitting now aren't you

Yes - Ready of course, you can still have your Bugaboo! Although I did notice a thread in active conversations this morning on which the merits of Bugaboos were being discussed though think they were talking about the Bee (will see if I can link to it):
Bugaboo Bee - someone talk me out of it

Toomuch I quite like your criteria for a buggy so will wait and see what those more experienced in these matters come up with (lazy emoticon!) You're right - we're at the "business" stage of the month at the moment. Thought we were doing quite well over the weekend and then DH was feeling a bit under the weather last night so it didn't go quite according to plan. He's under instructions to be home at a reasonable time tonight though.

Gilly Have to admit that, unsporty as I am, I find tennis more interesting than cricket, even on a summer's day (maybe it dates back to when I was a child and we were dragged off on Sunday afternoons to watch my father play). I did at least learn how to score in tennis when at school though. DH took me to a rugby match last year. After about 20 minutes I asked where the goal keeper was Needless to say, I've not been invited again.

Hello to everyone else.

BB He is really cute - I hope the refux thing sorts itself out soon for you

Sorry Hobnobs cross posted.. just took ages to press submit!

Good luck with the bonging - one night off or so won't do any harm .. I know I can't wait for the detailed report on which buggy I need {echoes hobnobs lazy emotion}

I have to say that I am still in denial that I am pregnant and haven't really looked into anything - I may believe it when I get a proper bump and see the baby on the 12 week scan - but for now it just feels like a bit of a cold - I think it is because we haven't told anyone either so it just doesn't feel real..

hello!

I'm back!

buggies (from the nanny expert) Maclaren all the way. In my career ive marked up that ive 'driven' over 100 buggies!

maclaren every time.

Littleladylolipop welcome back

hobnobs, I can?t believe it ? I don?t like a bugaboo ? the bee is not for me. The chameleon/gecko still are though? not sure I will ever change?
PMSL at you asking where the ?keeper was at a rugby match

Gilly, the basics of cricket I can cope with, the 4?s and 6?s (but bless you for explaining how a 4 is scored ) and the like ? it?s the googlies and leg spinners and byes that make me glaze over. Have to agree though, tall glass of pimms, and a sofa, and I?ll watch pretty much anything ? ?cept golf or motor racing. Tennis is my second fave after football ? I?ve been to Wimbledon and watched a match on centre court ? it?s fantastic fun

Nomore, how are you feeling chick?? Better I hope

Toomuch, we are pretty set on Madeira, we wanted something peaceful and low-key, and it seems to be just about perfect. Going to stay in a 5* hotel, bit of luxury, that we feel we deserve after all that has happened over the last year couple of years
Oh, and if you want to go off road, get a bug? the wheels are second to none (imo)

Hope everyone is dandy this afternoon?

londonlottie - yes I'm illegally here as I am too wuss to join an antenatal thread... I don't want to get your hopes up - I was just letting you know that I didn't even test for 3 days when I was late as I had full on PMT and cramps. The cramps continued for the first few weeks and I even bled a bit - all very periody (however, apparently it is your womb stretching!) - so never say never!

Ready Madeira is meant to be lovely - it's on my list of places to visit! A friend went last year and had the most amazing time! I have to admit that I am open minded on the Bug and therefore will definitely take a look at it whenever I go buggy shopping!

LLL - what was your old name again? It's really annoying me trying to remember.. How are you by the way? Your vote is obviously for McClaren then?

oh well - off out tonight to pretend to drink whilst supping a lemondade spritzer... it is very weird that noone except my mn mates know!

Speak to you tomorrow girls

Hi - been away due to day off work followed by ds's ear infection - Sun am was 'I want my mummy' - I am your mummy - 'I want a cuddle' - I am cuddling you - 'I want my daddy' - Daddy's just getting you some medicine so that we can help you feel beter - 'Whaaaaaaahhhhhhh'!!!!

!

Babybear - have you thought of cranial osteopathy - may help, won't harm - helped hugely with ds's colic, and would take any dc2 to cranial osteopath even if there was no problem.

Buggy wars - we've got MB urban - still copes with ds, nearly 3, although I don't think that we've used it for 2 months now.(Ds walks and/or cycles on balance bike)

Add ons - I have imagined the MB with a Boudicca charriot add-on knives to the wheels and or handles - mainly for people that park on the pavement so that you end up wheeling the buggy on the road to get round them....

Handles - MB has only one and this is really good as you can wheel with just one hand leaving the other free ( in our case for dog lead, but also good for phone etc). MB does not rear face - got round this by talking to ds a lot when he was little or sometimes singing to him. He started following whet the dog did at an early age which was great to see - and showed that he could follow to quite a significant distance.
