hi gyo. Nah dont worry, I know loads of people who are ill so its one of them methinks!lots of vicious bugs out there at the mo!

Telling went very well - have had so many messages on facebook, its great that its public now. I go to a toddler/baby group with little girl i look after and all the mums are thrilled for me its so nice!

Re: cold and pregnancy - its terrible! i dont want to take anything so had honey and lemon in hot water yesterday. was pretty grim but allowed me to get to sleep at least!

are you feeling better now?

GruffaloSoldier · 09/10/2008 13:27

Right I am off to brush my hair as it resembles a birds nest > and madly dash to work. I dont want to go

'see' everyone later!

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 09/10/2008 13:39

Feel very sorry for those of you with the dreaded colds, I am very overdue one, both the boys have got one, DH has had one, I am still breathing freely, for now! Just hope it doesn't go like last time, I had (on top of all the contractions!) real proper flu the week of my due date, I was not a happy bunny, can remember lying on the sofa with DH, wailing that I couldn't give birth with a snotty nose... LOL Of course a snotty nose during labour would have been the least of my worries but there is nowt like the wails of a very pregnant person LOL

Have been into town again (told you didn't I?!) have bought DS1 his first proper grown up 'mans' wallet.... i.e. no spiderman or England slogans/logos in sight He is growing up too fast.... (but if he gives me his cold I will take it back to the shop )

Gruff, have you anything planned to celebrate your results?

GYo · 09/10/2008 13:45

Glad it went well Gruff- so exciting shareing the news! Though we still havent told everyone! Just kind of havent got around to it! Might do last group after the 20wk scan.

Am a bit better thanks for asking Gruff but coughing like a dirty old man still

Nat- hope you dont get "the cold"- but definately isnt as bad as having flu near due date! that must have been hell

Great to buy your DS a proper wallet- definately grown up now! Bet he loves its

Yesterday (at 3pm) ordered a doppler (angel sounds) and its just arrived! Such great service from them. So excited- Said to DH I'd wait for him to come home before trying it on the bean but just heard my own heartbeat which was freaky!

My sister keeps saying its a source of unnecessary worry!- pah to her!

tinkisgoingtohaveagirl · 09/10/2008 13:47

poor ladies with colds
wow very grown up nat.
have decided to stick 2 one more outfit as also asda outfits only go up 2 nine pounds in first size the tesco ones go up 2 11lbs.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 09/10/2008 13:49

GYo, you just have to keep in mind that just because you may not find the HB it doesn't mean it isn't there. After I found it the first time I've never not found it since, but I hope know that if the day came when I couldn't find it, I would try not to fly off the deep end. It has certainly given me reassurance over the last few months, never even a minute of worry.

GYo · 09/10/2008 13:53

Thanks Nat- i am sure that the angel isnt as good as the equipment the MW uses. Looking forward to hearing what we can.

Diege · 09/10/2008 14:39

Afternoon . Sorry for all the horrible colds - awful at the best of times, and more so in pregnancy.
Good going on the shopping front NAT and TINKS - I'm waiting for payday when the first of the payments for the extra work I'm doing should come through, then I'm having a splurge of clothes for dds. Having 3 to clothe is sooo expensive, and a hundred quid goes virtually nowwhere!
GRUFF - remember you finishing the Masters -when are results due again? Def. celebration in order I think!
GYO, re: colour and pregnancy it's only my extreme post-mc paranoia that made me request highlights rather than full root colour (ie, doesn;t touch scalp). Some people (not my midwife or consultant) recommend waiting 12 weeks for colour, but there's really no compelling scientific evidenece to support this. There is something about colour not taking so well in pregnancy, but that's about it. FWIW I coloured every 3 weeks from finding out to labour with all 3 dds to no ill effects! (and walking around with roots for 9 months would most certainly bring on depression for me!).
Desperately trying to get hoiuse tidy, but fighting a losing battle . Off to get dds in 5, so speak later .
Oh and thanks again for the congrats - it really does mean a lot

Diege · 09/10/2008 16:36

By the way would anyway like a free copy of Junior magazine Oct/Nov? (the pregnancy and baby one)? I seem to have acquired 2 copies and am happy to post it free to whoever shouts first!

kayzisexpecting · 09/10/2008 17:22

BOO!!!

Just popped on at the library. Just here to say hello and that with any luck I should be back online from the 23rd October!!!

I know I have missed about 1 million BFPs probably and random other stuff.

Hope everyone is ok.

9 weeks to go!!! ARGH!!!!!!

Diege · 09/10/2008 17:50

Kayz HELLO!!!!! . Have really missed your posts, and can't believe you've just 9 weeks to go . Where has the time gone???

tinkisgoingtohaveagirl · 09/10/2008 17:52

oh wow kay
only 9 weeks time has flown.
have decided to get x2 more outfits in asda going to get brown dress and leggings set and denim dress set or dungaress set

GruffaloSoldier · 09/10/2008 18:25

Hi Kay! 9 weeks - wow!

Im feeling dreadful got really bad sinuses now, my head is pounding - boo!

Not sure about celebrating. May go out with uni friends when one gets back from Thailand.

Diege - my results should be delivered by post tomorrow - although I wouldn't be surprised if they were delayed.

Ugh - I feel gross

SesHasapinkline · 09/10/2008 19:01

Hi! Sorry not been on all day - had an all day meeting, and whilst I'm on leave too!

Diege - still got a nice warm happy feeling after your news

Kay - great to hear from you. You have 9 weeks to go and I'm only 9 weeks in!

All snotty people - I need to join the club! Don't think I'm sufferring quite as much but definite painful throat and sneezly snotty nose

DH says my boobs are bigger and I think he may be right! I've heard you can go up 3 cup sizes. Well starting off as a DD cup, I may end up with back pain! Does the back measurement increase as well? Think my belly's swelling too. Hope this means all's ok still...!

GruffaloSoldier · 09/10/2008 19:12

Hi Ses,

sorry for your cold too.

I started off a 30 G and by 8 weeks I was a 30 GG, but havent increased anymore. (Im thirteen weeks today). May do a bit more I suppose. Only time will tell

SesHasapinkline · 09/10/2008 19:16

13 weeks!! Time seems to be flying by!

OP posts:
GruffaloSoldier · 09/10/2008 19:28

It certainly is! I found up to 9/10 weeks went slow and then all of a sudden the time just went so quick!

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 09/10/2008 19:29

hello,
Gemma asked me to put a message on here for her.

Unfortunately she has been admitted to hospital with hyperemis (excuse the spelling!).

Hopefully she will be out in a few days time, and she will post to you all when she is back out.

GYo · 09/10/2008 20:14

Hi Everyone
Im guessing Gemma is Glask, - get well soon Glask - sorry to hear you are so poorly.

Ses- welcome to the Wagon sofa for colds and coughs, plently of room, blankets and tissues and Wispa bars!

Defo agree with Gruff, things really sped up for me after 12wks. Now time is flying by!

Hi Kay- good luck with the next 9wks but hope to see you soon!

LaTourEiffel · 09/10/2008 20:43

Oh goodness, poor Glask! Assume that was DH posting - if you're reading, please send her love from the Eiffel Tower and hope the little uns are being good for their Daddy! Hope she's feeling better soon. I guess the only good thing is that at least they'll be making sure both her and baby are getting the required nutrition.

Evening all, had a very weepy day to day, I think its been triggered by all the thinking and talking DH and I have been doing about ttc'ing, not anything specific. I feel much better this evening though.

Feeling a bit nervous about my holiday, I have no idea what to pack, or when, or what in, or if I've got enough clothes that fit, or what I need to buy...

kayzisexpecting · 09/10/2008 20:49

Its offical. I am an IDIOT!!!!!

We set up Dial-Up a few weeks ago and then found out that our PC hasn't got a dial up modem. For some reason I just thought "I wonder if the laptop has a dial up modem" and it does!!! I am back(very slow) but I am back!!

HAHAHA!!

Hope you are better soon Glask!!

GruffaloSoldier · 09/10/2008 21:27

Oh well kay at least you are back with us

Sorry Glask, wishing you a speedy recovery!

I just had a complete meltdown for some reason I think a high temp was to blame but couldnt stand and wanted food and couldnt get it head was so bad! (DH not here) Feeling a bit silly but have managed to grap soem sliced chicken out of fridge before I had to collapse again. Sorry for rambling but lonely and feeling a bit stupid!

GruffaloSoldier · 09/10/2008 21:43

Ok so managed to boil a kettle to do some steam and now have spilt boiling hot water over my hand its not too bad but anyone know if you can use germolene when your pg? Im going to google it too!

kayzisexpecting · 09/10/2008 21:51

Owww Gruff. You poor thing. I burnt my arm at work last week and it bloody hurt.

GruffaloSoldier · 09/10/2008 21:54

Ouch Kay its horrible isnt it. I think it just seems bad cause Im ill. Going to leave germolene as doesnt look too bad, just a bit pink! What a wally Ive been tonight! Going to give up and go to bed I think before I do any more damage!
