Thank you Jools GG & Mermaid I feel MUCH better knowing it's not just my dh. All I want is to make plans, talk about the future, tell him how I'm feeling & enjoy this feeling of expectancy as a couple but I know if I start talking about the baby I'll be accused of 'going on about it'. Ho hum.... right I'll not get upset about it any more as I know I'm very very lucky to be pregnant & nothing else should matter.
LBM welcome back & sorry you've had a shitty week. I don't suppose they gave you anything in writing before they retracted the offer?
GG are you going to tell your in-laws? For about a week after I had a bfp I was waking up at 5am on the dot, feeling wide awake. I'd be in a state of constant tiredness but just couldn't sleep. The problem I have now is being woken up two times a night & then having to get up at 6am & be a responsible parent as my dd is still poorly.
MM glad you came back..... I just cannot imagine being that sick. What are you now about 10 weeks?
Blue pad patrol - never heard of that one before . I've told my dd what is going on but she is only 20 month so doesn't really understand, she pats my tummy & says 'baby tummy'! Maybe your baby will be a few days late so in the future the sound of fireworks will remind you of giving birth to your fantastic dc2 instead of the loss & pain of NYE 2008.
VJay no birth partner??? . You will have to quickly make some more friends up there so that you find someone to trust with your ds for a few hours when you go in. We don't have loads of friends here as we moved here from London two years ago but I've got a few friends I've made through mother & toddler groups etc so I've got a list of about four possibilities to look after dd. It's a whole different ballgame second time around huh? Do you think we'll be stressing about our dc's no.1 whilst we are in labour with no.2??!
Iggy I wouldn't worry too much about having bd'd just twice, we only did it three times last month. Do you not use opk's? Right back to mini milks, had a chocolate one today (not nearly as nice as the strawberry ones imo) & how on earth do you prevent the top two inches breaking off into your mouth. Two inches of mini milk in one go is a bit much if you ask me.
MrsKate are you feeling better now? It is a particularly nasty cold & I had to go to the docs with mine today & am now on antibiotics & steriods.
Mermaid how did your school meeting go?
I second Annie on the 'joys' of soft-play, because my dd is only 20 months though I can't sit back & let her run around like a little mentalist, I have to actually climb right up the ceiling, walk the rope bridges, crawl through impossibly tiny tunnels (every claustrophobics nightmare) & slide down the twisty slides with her - I quite like that last bit though!
Cupcake glad I have a bb buddy! . I'm actually due 1st Feb, so Gracie is the 9th & I guess Curly is somewhere close after.
Neeko where are you... I expect you are having a well-earned rest after all the action you've been getting recently! Also what cd are you on now?
Where are Bakingqueen & Ginger???
Right off now... this has taken me about an hour to write so I'd better not lose it!
Oh & by the way the spider has finally found its final resting place in the bin, see dh's are good for a couple of things at least!!
