28 weeks I think LB is the earliest you can take it from.
Bloody hell your MIL is a nightmare . You're right, measles would be spotted a mile off by your GP - plus the, err, MMR sort of prevents it happening?????!!!! Sounds like she's trying to wind you and dp up

lardybump · 27/09/2008 12:16

Oh I might finish at the end of December in that case as I will be 32 weeks then...

You are right about MIL I am getting seriously pissed off with her.. But at the same time I do realise that I am blowing a lot of it up in my head and that life would be a lot easier if I could just laugh at it.....

tinkcantwaittofindoutboyorgirl · 27/09/2008 12:17

BBeingpatient · 27/09/2008 13:23

lardybump · 27/09/2008 13:41

Thanks BB glad you are back..... Roll on the new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BBeingpatient · 27/09/2008 14:09

yeah defo LB!! can defo feel the change in myself now that i love my job! only slight worry is how they'l react to the news but guess thats just one of those things, cant wait any longer!!! xx

lardybump · 27/09/2008 14:15

They will have to deal with it.......

BBeingpatient · 27/09/2008 14:21

yeah defo, and im planning to go back pt, for maybe 2days a week, they are really positive so im sure it'l be ok, plus working two days a week gives me a real chance to be me but still spend majority of time with lo so best of both me thinks.

its been all drama in the bb household of late whaty with the bitch last night, and DP had his bag pinched weds, luckily only his keys in it and they dumped it so he got it back with keys, but still!! bloody feckers of the world eh lol are you getting excited for new lo LB?xx

Diege · 27/09/2008 15:36

HI BB, good to hear from you . Sounds like it's been a bit stressful in the BB household this week (who is the bitch you speak of?? [nosey].
Your work/life plans sound good - wish I'd downgraded to part time with dd1 in a way, but am happy with 4 days a week at the momemt .
Just been to village with dd3 - bought her a huge toy dolphin from a charity shop for a £1 that I had to lug up hill. Just waiting for the others to get back, a few hours of chaos (they're hard work today!) and then x-factor (oh and a small matter of writing that module - thank god for Wikipaedia )

happynappies · 27/09/2008 15:53

Hello all - sorry I haven't been around in ages - have been quite ill with morning sickness and unbelievably tired, so MN has taken a bit of a back seat! Have got my 20 week scan this week, and feel a bit more like myself although still tired.

How is everyone? Good to see some familiar names and hello to all the new arrivals. Hope you're all doing well. Will try to catch up a bit more now

Diege · 27/09/2008 16:33

Hi Happy . Good to hear from you, and glad you're feeling better Can't believe you're almost 20 weeks
Everything's ticking along on the wogon nicely - lots of BFPs, me and CALS sadly gearing up to ttcing again after mcs (sorry, can't remember when it was you last posted . SES has her scan on Monday (8 weeks), TINKS is clearing the shops for the rest of us, NAT has a curious problem with fanjo farts (she doesn't like talking about it), GLask is getting there sickness-wise but has been very poorly, LB has had a few shaky weeks, but is fighting fit again (ask her MIL BB is gearing up for Xmas ttc-ing...um what else??? I've missed out loads, but that's all my short-term memory can hold I'm afraid!! Oh yes SES and HEEBS are moving any day now...

tinkcantwaittofindoutboyorgirl · 27/09/2008 16:54

hi beingp and happy

Deige you forgot one. Deige is going to get up the duff this month........ there you go happy the total round up. My dd looks like a dot to dot comic her rash is getting worse bless her......

Diege · 27/09/2008 18:03

Anyone about? I've just got a line on my OPK - same colour as control line, so assume I should gof tonight???? Never ever had a line before so all new for me (hope LB's last post is prophetic .
Thing is, I've not got EWM yet, so thinking should maybe hold off till tomorrow?? Or do it tomorrow as well???

kookykid · 27/09/2008 18:55

Hi all,

I had such good intentions for being better at keeping in touch, but we found out last week we have OFSTED coming in next week. Pretty unlucky! So have been stressing a lot and in work on my day off and all day today. Haven't even had my 1st pay-check yet!!! So anyway ttc is taking a back seat this month. As is the rest of my life!

Diege - get GOFing! Def today and tomorrow I'd say and try for a morning one too!

Hi everyone else!

Diege · 27/09/2008 19:01

Thanks Kooky! The pre-seed is waiting ominously on the window sill, so tonight it the night!
Good luck with OFSTED! I still remember the panic when we had HEFCE round (HE equivalent) All those perfect lectures and up to date admin

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 27/09/2008 19:12

Evening all

Tink, are the sheets exactly that size, or made for a mattress that size? If it's made for amattress that size, they will be fine.

Diege at spreading malicious rumours about my fanjo farting..... it's never done such a thing. Ever. Never ever ever....

BB, good to see you sweetie All go go go for xmas GOF'ing

KK, don't envy you the ofstead pounce, my mum was a TA and it was bad enough for her, what the teachers go through must be 1000 times worse!

Happy, wow 20 weeks already! Does time fly?! Glad the sicness is giving you a break

So, we have ordered the buggy and an even bigger it's a Bug Bee (sorry Diege! ) I really don't like the shape of the pram, and I really don't like the fact that it doesn't have a proper carrycot option, but the size difference between that and... well anything was amazing! It is smaller than DS2's stroller, it is going to be a breeze on and off the bus. Was worried it would be too small for a growing kid, but DS2 fitted in it with room to go so it must be OK. Have gone for the khaki colour, but having never seen it in RL I am a bit worried about it. Still it has to be better than the horrible yellow... And it was quite a bargain as well, inc. the buggy, the new born nest thingy, the rain covers, and the Cabriofix it was £475, so still need to get the changing bag, the ISOfix base, and the footmuff, but still think it is a bargain! Am off to check now!

Diege · 27/09/2008 19:27

Less of the fanjo farting Nat, I have a vial of pre-seed here ready to get squirted ...
Yah another bugaboo bee fan . I quite liked the yellow too.. .
Right, best get squirting

tinkcantwaittofindoutboyorgirl · 27/09/2008 19:36

evening all

just having a tv break before xfactor starts

go diege go diege
squirt squirt squirt
hi kooky good to hear from u

think so nat assuming mattress size size options gave u 3 different sizes to chose from i chose the closet match to her matress.
good shopping nat very exciting

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 28/09/2008 03:29

Morning (she says, HAVE YOU SEEN THE TIME? I'm not sure it is legally morning yet...)

Must apologise for my typing/spelling in my last post, t'is shocking, though can whole heartedly blame DS1, he was being a right PITA while I was trying to type!

I nearly choked on my coke (gonna help me sleep innit?! ) reading Tinks squirt squirt squirt

Diege, I am not a bee fan at all, still think it is bordering on ugly, and still am having doubts about the non-carrycot thing, but I am willing to for go looks and a carrycot for a buggy that slips on and off the bus with ease!

I am going to make a decision and order the nursery furniture in a minute, just don't know which yet!

I am far too chirpy at this bloody time of night...

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 28/09/2008 05:35

Contractions finally gone, think I have decided on the furniture, but thought I'd better run it past DH before I order! It's exciting!

I am off to my bed, hopefully to sleep this time!

tinkcantwaittofindoutboyorgirl · 28/09/2008 08:17

morning

wow nat hope you got some sleep
which furniture did you decided on? very exciting
i was being kept awake by this one have a premier league footballer dh felt kicks on his back next time will stay away from the haagendaz icecream.
we are off to my friends @ 9am
she has a girl who is nearly 5 and a boy who is 2 in nov

Diege · 28/09/2008 10:26

Morning . Nat!! you must be shattered! Hope you are still in a deep sleep and get soem recent rest this morning.
Re: the bee have you seen it in the flesh so to speak? Think it looks miles better in 'real life', and you're right it will be great for the bus etc .From the reviews I read the newborn cocoon thing is an essential.
TINKS - enjoy your morning. Lovely to feel kicks, although I remember how uncomfortable they can be esp after sugar!
Well, did the deed last niught, squirts and all. Is very odd stuff this pre-seed - the stuff leaks out after like you wouldn't believe, and is very 'squelchy' when doing the business . dh quite liked it though, and I was indifferent, so will use again! Think we'll miss out tonight anyway, regardless of OPK later, and then gof Mon, wed, Fri, then I'll need a break I think! Should cover me up to cd 19 anyway.
Had a really odd dream last night that I was in labour - loads of people in the room that got me really distressed as they wouldn't leave. A large window with cars going past , and a doula that was pushing me to have an epidural
Right, best get the end of the lecture written as dh has purposely taken dds to Morrisons for breakfast so I can do it.
DD1 at 'pizza and pamper' party this afternoon, and rest of us will cycle into town to ice cream cafe (dh is also buying me some bits from La Sensa .

Diege · 28/09/2008 10:27

some decent rest that should be!
