Arrgghh - just had a text from the teacher again re childcare - I think I am going to tell her my plans straight and make her come to her own decision. Quite smug about the fact that she is desperate for me to take her children on - I know she has done the rounds around local childminders!

I am also about to phone school and see if DS1 can go back to save me the trouble of having to dig a shallow grave this evening .......

The one good thing about the spotting is that I am now on a mission to take my mind off things and have got my list of things I really ought to do before OFSTEd give me the call!

Gosh its quiet here, is everyone OK???

I am feeling so stressed here. I swear to God I will kill DS1 if he shouts "muummy!" again. Apologies for being so vile but over the last three days if he has said it once he has said it a hundred times.

I am desparate for DH to come back from work and then I am off for some quality me time at Asda

HumphreysCorner · 04/02/2009 18:05

Have had no internet all day until now.

Dawni, belgianbun and Willmouse-so sorry it is not looking positive for you all this month.

puree-sorry about the BFN.

MJIM-good to hear Naomi has progressed into 0-3 months.

Bellie-I think you are having a boy and not long to find out.

Sorry to moan about my MS but it is yucky. Twins would be not good having already got 2 DC. I have heard that you show sooner with twins so if I get that far will monitor that.

Big wave and hugs to all.

Hi all

Just a flying visit as dd has been poorly all day with a temp & complaining of a bad tummy Dh has been off today, but we are keeping her off nursery tomorrow and doing a half day each. She's just laid on he sofa all day whimpering. Completely off her food which is a sure sign she's unwell. Hopefully the Medised and Nurofen will help us all get a better nights sleep tonight.

On a brighter note, I had my follow up epu scan today and all is well . Measured as 9 weeks with an edd of 9.9.09. Saw a wriggly little bean with a strong hertbeat and the buds where the limbs are forming already - amazing! Has put my mind at rest a lot.

Detox Excellent scan, cool EDD....sorry to hear your DD not well, hope she's better soon xx

Ceebee74 · 04/02/2009 20:58

Detox great news about the scan and fab EDD - you'll not forget that in a hurry will you?

Dawni glad you are still here - would have missed you if you had gone - chin up eh?

bellie (if you are still around) good luck tomorrow - hope it all goes well and can't wait to hear the news of the newest addition to our Bonkers family

Had a lovely day today - just pottered round with Sam and then we both went to my bed for a 2-hour nap this afternoon I love days like this but also love Josh coming home from nursery aswell.

Seem to have got over the problems with Josh now (touch wood) - the reward chart seems to have worked. He reached his first target today and got a Diego game for his computer which he was dead chuffed with - and we have gone 2 weeks now without any 'incidents' between him and Sam... I often wonder if he would have been the same if Sam had been a girl or whether he would have instinctively been more caring

Just a quickie to say "Happy Birthday!" to bellie's baby! Good Luck with everything today - I am so excited after all this time wanting and trying and waiting for him/her. In a few hours it will all be worth it hey! xx

ChocolateEclair · 05/02/2009 07:41

doh - you must be NOT I am(I'm half asleep!)

Bellie · 05/02/2009 08:24

CE - thanks for the best wishes!! Am sitting here like a cat on a hot tin roof! Had to ring at 7am to find out what time to go in only to be told "we are the night staff and we don't know, someone will call you back later" .

Pain in the neck as I can't eat or drink anything - not what you want at 41 weeks pregnant!!!!!!

Still I am sure it will all work out fine!

Will let you know as soon as possible what is going on and whether you have all predicted the boy right!!

MJIM - I hope that dh got home ok last night xx

pureeandpearls · 05/02/2009 08:48

Good luck Bellie xx

MrsPuddleduck · 05/02/2009 09:28

Hi!!!!

Bellie - good luck! I am predicting girl - we need another on the thread! Or perhaps you could all save that pleasure for me I could do with some female company - and Dawni too I bet!

Dawni- glad you're back and more positive. Spotting seems to have stopped a bit here but am not going to let myself get even slightly optimistic ever again. From now on I am going to remain calm until AF is actually due.

MJIM - hope DH got home OK. The snow is quite bad here but I managed to get DS1's little butt to school !!!

Detox - so happy for your that your scan went well. Hope your DD hasn't caught the chicken pox bug which seems to be spreading via the internet LOL!

HC - sorry you're not feeling so good. Are you eating or starving yourself to feel better? Remember whatever you eat now to make yourself feel better you will never be able to face again when the morning sickness goes - so make sure it's not anything vital like chocolate

Ceebee - glad things have calmed down. You are probably better off with another boy than a girl - I have spent three days listening to my two chopping away at eachother with swords - they get on so well. DS1 would HATE a girl LOL! He is very in touch with his male side for one so young and anti all things remotely female!

Right - off to look at the weather forecast. Can you believe DS1 has a birthday party tonight which is still going ahead (his best friend's so he has to go) - and another on Sunday here we go again.....

detoxdiva · 05/02/2009 09:33

Good luck Bellie!

HumphreysCorner · 05/02/2009 10:03

Good luck with the birth of your boy baby Bellie. Dawni-you have had a nice temp dip so don't forget to mark any spotting as it could be implantation spotting.

Willmouse-I can't face anything but digestives and crumpets. The weight is dropping off me but I know it won't do any harm. Hope your AF stays away.

detox-fab news on your scan and loving the 9.9.09 date. Bet your baby doesn't arrive on it though.

It started snowing at 8-30am and got to school to find the head had decided to close it. I am fortunate to be at home but some mums who had to go to work were marching their children back into school in the hope they could stay there.

Am 6 weeks today so hopefully the heart will be beating. If not then my symptoms will start to go so back to obsessing over symptoms.

Big snowy wave to all.

HC - I could happily live on digestives and crumpets!

DawnAS · 05/02/2009 10:26

Morning ladies,

If you're still at home Bellie, good luck for today!! I will checking back on later to find out if we've had any news!!

Dawni, glad you're feeling more positive hun.. Keep your chin up!!

Willmouse, Birthday parties hey?! Although at least your DS is popular!! It might be worse if he wasn't invited to any at all!! I didn't get invited to many parties when I was little, get the violins out please!!

HC, I can think of much worse things to eat than crumpets - yum yum!! I'm starving now!!

DD, brilliant news on the scan hun!! You must be thrilled. Great EDD too!!

MJIM, hope your DH got home safely. My Dad works away in Birmingham and London during the week and travels back on a Friday lunchtime - don't rate his chances though getting from Birmingham to Devon tomorrow though after last nights snowfall!!

Big waves to everyone else that I might have missed!!

Still got a stinking cold and all the coughing has caused me to pull a muscle in my chest - nice - NOT!! But little Jellybean doesn't seem to mind as she's been jumping around all over the place in the last 24 hours.

Anyway, hope all is well with everyone.

Bellie · 05/02/2009 10:36

Hi all - just popping in quickly to say I have to go in at 12noon - so a long time with no food!
I could just eat a plateful of crumpets now yummmm

Hope everyone is well, and wishing you on the 2ww all the best, and HC hope that the heartbeat (or heartbeats ) stay strong for you

Wave to everyone and see you next week!!

HumphreysCorner · 05/02/2009 10:47

Ha ha Bellie All the best!
