Big wave everyone else xx

cool beans cupcake thats lovely news

hello iggy hope you are ok, have a lovely weekend.x

4ever hope you are ok this afternoon also nearly another weekend with lovely dh to look after you. Big gold star for getting through this week.x

We saw Up yesterday instead - it was lovely and I cried I never cry at films being a bit of a hard arse really but it had me in bits, a really ace film.

Cupcake Hurray! Fantastic news, bet you have such a big grin on your face [hsgrin]

Hoorraayy cupcake , so pleased for you xxx

Fab news cupcake

really pleased!

mermaid I will - hope you have good weekend too!

Fantastic news cupcake and you finally met cupcakebean - . You must be chuffed to bits and your Mum will be buying up Mothercare as we speak . My SIL scan went well too .

Mermaid - you hard arse? nooo, never!!! I heard 'Up' is a bit of a weepy...

Neeko - you OK? Not heard from you for a couple of days...

Wee update 'chez blue'. Had first weekly Friday scan and things still same, still OK but consultant (who I'm beginning to fall in love with a tiny bit ) has decided not to let me go past 37-38 weeks as they don't want me going into labour as it puts potential strain on baby's heart etc. So long story short, I'm finishing up on mat leave next Friday and will be continuing to have weekly scans until end of Nov with a view to getting c-section anytime between 20th Nov and 1st Dec.

I've decided to finish up early as every Friday scan could result in me being sent straight to delivery theatre and I don't want the stress of having unfinished work/outstanding meetings to worry about. I also need to finish my nesting and clear out a couple of cupboards .

So there we have it. Its all getting real and nearer and I can't wait to meet this lo albeit hopefully not for another few weeks .

Happy Hallowe'en everyone

blue gaspand so near! very exciting. At least you know and are in control (as much as we ever are)which is important. So good that you have a lovely consultant too, very important to have some eye candy at such times, reckon the nhs supplies them especially to help us through traumatic times.
So don't go nesting too much, take it easy with the cupboards if they are anything like mine you could dissapear and not be seen for several weeks

sabs I am so sorry I completley forgot to say hello to your mamoth post. Thank you for sharing your traditions, they must go back a long way, I always felt when I had ds that there was loads that I must have known 10000s of years ago if that makes sense?. Am loving the cotton wool what an excellent excuse for not doing night feeds. Give that gorgeous little girl a big cuddle.x

forgot check out ajays smile made my evening that has.

Wowsers Blue!!! That is very soon, but how exciting too! Sounds like a great consultant & it gives you some control back I guess so that must be reassuring for you sweetie! Between you & Annie for the next graduate then!!!

Talking of reassurance, I know I said it before but so so so happy for my fellow small panter Cupcake, what a great belated anniversary pres for DH eh?! Hopefully will ease you through your edd a little too.. I cant wait to see definitive hands! On mon we saw proper arms & legs, the week before they were just limb buds, its so amazing watching them grow so fast... Hope you're feet up & still beaming! xx

Yes, wheres our lovely Neeko at? Hope you are ok my darlin? Will be checking up on you over the weekend xx

Big wave to you Iggy sweetie! Hope you have a lovely weekend, so glad to see you on a happy vibe recently xx

Hows Jools doing too? I loved your stern instruction that you wont allow anything bad to happen on your birthday! I really pray that it all turns around for you straight after a wonderful weekend in cornwall & fab birthday, I was thinking about you recently, after all the months of seducing our DHs & ttc on demand, the feast turns to famine cos most of us arent allowed, or are to scared to go near each other once the deed is done! Maybe remind your DH to get it while he can!

Ahhhh Mermaidhardarsebutnotreally I really wanna see UP and Im cryin at everything at the moment! I dont believe you are a hard arse, you just have put up your self preserving exterior, but I like it when you open up & talk about you cos you're so bloody amazing and lovely at saying the right things to us all & being there, I know im not just speaking for myself when I say we really wanna be there for you too sometimes mrs!!! (even if it is only to wipe away tears from movies!) Big hug to my cornwall rock xxxxxxx

Sabs love love love hearing your traditions & what great catch up from you! so nice to hear all is going well, I bet you will be pleased to be home on sunday (btw great abot DH job!), give Saara a kiss from her cyber aunty xx

Barbie where are you at pretty lady? Are your friends gone yet? if so you're probably recouperating, cant remember who said, but half the good stuff about vistors is when they leave & you get your house & routine back again (so like Monica!) BTW whats going on with your heart check & palpatations & things? Hope you are taking it easy, tho hard with your slave driving new boss.. Oh yea & whats your thoughts on some form of weebletastic thread name?

So glad you girls understand my paranoia of needing to keep a ref to weebles to coninue as some sort of positive omen for me!!

Talking of health other than preg related how are you Mrskate and your BP monitering & stuff? are you still signed off after your drunken patient episode?

Buddha hows the pelvic pain? Any ante natal classes yet? Cant believe you are 33 wks already!

I was thinking of you & Mrskate last night as had a NIGHTMARE thinking DH might have swine flu - cue complete panic mode, how did you girls ever cope with the worry when your DHs had it? Did you take the relenza as precaution as well?

BTW - whos going for the vaccine?

Anyway, turns out DH just has heavy head cold, but i went to the sofa about 11ish & surfed net via pho for advice/symptoms & got in a right old panic imagining every worse scenario & that I couldnt live without him, & if something goes wrong with baby Id be on my own at scan & was awake til 4 when I was exhausted, anxious & sobbing & desperate to sleep so I put on a decorating mask & was gonna brave sleeping next to him, he phsl , & we swapped & I got into bed, but at 6 he was up dancing round to prove it was just a head thing & body not aching & went to work still! Id set my pho on reminder for cupcakes scan to tx her before at 9, then woke again at 11 so bloody shattered & very tad worried about lack of sleep & stress on baby, figure if it gets through this & is still ok on monday its def a little soldier!

Anyway off to bath & have some dinner & an early night, shall catch up over the weekend, love you all lots & once again to Cupcake!!!! xxxxx

Hi all.
Yeah for cupcake. So pleased all is ok. Hope you're feling braver now and are considering how nice it'll be when you tell certain people - a daydream that you haven't allowed yourself til now.

Blue wowsers about the baby being delivered early. Bet you're both excited and bricking it Nice to know you'll be on your feet for Christmas. How you feeling about having to have a c-section?

Thanks Blue and 4ever for thinking of me. Been having a crappy week with DH being away, work being stressy and DD going through a knicker-wetting separation anxiety phase . Have spent quite a bit of the week in tears and, although I've been lurking, I didn't really feel up to posting. Just a shame we don't all live near one another so we could pop round for a cuppa.

Sorry not up for more individual posts. DH back in the middle of the night [thankgoodness emoticon] and I'm going to immerse myself in a hot lukewarm bath with a book. Take care all and Happy Hallowe'en. xx

Wow blue I can't believe you'll have your baby so soon, I can't help it but I'm really excited for you

mermaid so glad Ajay's smile has made your evening. I took him to the doc's today because he has a sore eye and he just beamed at her, he's so cute

Happy Halloween everyone and have a fab weekend, will probably be on at some point

Girls thanks soooo much for all your lovely kind words you're all so gorgeous.
Today was just, crazy really!
Felt sick walking back into that hospital; I thought I'd be absolutely fine but then the smell hit me & stomach lurched. Ick.
Thought I was gonna throw up beforehand but as soon as she put the scanner thing on my tummy we saw baby straight away and I sobbed! Dh was all "see! It's fine! It's fine!" Grabbing my hand so cute.
Can't believe how clear it was, little hands and feet. Keep looking at the pics!
Sonographer was sooo quick though, whole thing literally took about one minute she was like 'there's the hands, feet, head, heart ok bye' !
Just couldn't believe it though..I honestly couldn't believe it was real until that moment it was amazing.

As we were leaving ante-natal, me clutching scan pics and dh carrying massive pile of notes/books/files/bounty packs we saw someone from my old work! just walked past swiftly and said 'hi' but what a way for all my ex-colleagues to find out eh!

All the family v v v excited- we've been out with dh's family today and it's all they've talked about! MIL also gave me big bag of maternity wear! Bit ahead of themselves these Mums as I got a call from mine later on saying she'd bought booties and babygros crazy ladies. But it is first grandchild for them both so they can be forgiven!

Anyway, enough about that..
Neeko so sorry to hear the last few days have been hard I thought you'd been quiet too...glad dh is back v soon! Your poor dd

Blue wow!Can't believe it..you must feel the rug has been slightly swept from under you and being a true Monica, that can't be easy! Glad you'll be finishing up work early, get resting!

4ever thanks soooo much for all your lovely kind words over last few weeks, you've been fab. Hang in there lovely, just a couple of weeks and you'll be here must be amazing to see all the tiny changes in your bean every week

mermaid gosh yes Up made me cry 3 times! Beautiful film.

Vjay your pics are GORGEOUS! What a heartbreaking smile

Hi iggy thanks so much. Not long and it will be you my lovely. Keep believing that. (Sorry if I sound really patronising; I mean it genuinely..don't give up hope.)

Curly thanks for updating for me!

thanks so much to you all...dunno how I'd get through all this without you.
DH has an interview on Thurs within his office so v hopeful about that...positive thoughts appreciated!

Better go give my ante-natal thread the news and then it's off to bed; I'm shattered! xxx

Hi cupcake - so lovely to read your post - your releif is almost palpable . I expect to see a spike in mothercare profits between your Mum and me over the next few weeks .

Vjay - excuse my manners, meant to say yesterday how GORGEOUS Ajay is, wee smasher .

Neeko - hope you've got your DH all wrapped up in cuddles. My week was similar as DH was working his once a year 'back shift' and not getting home until 11.30pm which after this week's events was hard going but he's back now with some extra xmas pennies to boot. Sorry to hear your DD is going through some seperation anxiety. Do you think its because your DH was away? My DS goes very clingy/stroppy when DH is away and I think its just him missing him.

4ever - always lovely to read one of your long posts . hope your DH is on the mend. He needs his full strength to wait on you hand and foot .

Well I woke at 2am last night and could not get back to sleep so decided to clear out the nursery drawers and put DS's baby clothes in 0-3, 3-6 and 6-12 month order, sub-dividing them into neutral colours and blues so if lo is a girl all blue clothes will go in bag for SIL in case she has boy. Think my nesting instinct has spilled over rather .

Meant to say yesterday that I posted on the premature thread and the ladies were lovely and reassuring. I love MN for that, you don't know what the future will hold but there are people out there going through what you are and its so helpful to know you are not alone.

Also got my dates a bit wrong - everything going to plan lo will be here between 27th Nov and 6th Dec not week before.

Talking of which I've copied over list and changed my date back to one hospital gave me at 12-week scan - makes this pg a week further on which is good for my mental health.

[smie] im here, lurking for last few days due to visitors...will be back to normal tomorrow i promise...loving the happy thread at the moment

trying to think of names for new thread...any ideas?

Gotta go but big love to you all!

Happy halloween

Blue Oh my how fantastic that your LO is going to be here so soon! Obviously the circumtances could be better, but they have yours and the LO's best interests at heart which is the main thing. I am so that you get yours quicker than me now!
Neeko Sorry you are feeling a bit Hair strokes and hugs coming your way x
Barbie Hope you are having a fab time with your friends
Vjay Gorgeous pics
4ever Still no sign of ante-natal classes but trying not to panic stress toom much I know how you feel panicking about SF and illnesses etc, I went into hiding at work when it all came out a while back, and sat behind a screen for about 10 weeks, and then my bloody DH goes and gets it! Typical!
Cupcake Again so pleased for you, how lovely of your mum and mil getting all excited too, believe me it doesn't stop either

Ah, evening ladies! Happy Halowen Back from holiday - very cold, Valencia was much warmer! Ah well, the fire is on. Had a great holiday, lots of sleep and generally having fun with the kids, although if I might need to burn the Uno cards - my 4 yo is becoming a bit of a monster at it!

Great news cupcake

blue -an eventful week methinks! btw, I wouldn't worry about names yet, my ds was 3 weeks early and it took us everyone of those 21 days to come up with his name as we ahdn't got round to names before he was born. Stupidly, we have a J theme with names ( me and DH's names begin with J, DD was given a J name as we loved it and then we figured that DS needed one so that he wouldn't feel too left out!) LLO had a J name ready picked which my brother and SIL choose for my niece in March ( they did't and don't know). We will clearly be needing divine inspiration to come out with a J name should we need one this time!

Sorry to hear that there are some crappy weeks out there - will post more when I've caught up

BTW - 9 weeks goes really fast when you bury your head in the sand. Shame the queesyness doesn't let me forget. Think I'm 10 + 1 now. V scary as MC was at 10+5 last time - however all looks good so far, no spotting, feel crap. So, if you'll excuse me, LBM will bury her head back in the sand and I'll be back next week! I am not pregnant, I am not pregnant.....

Sorry not been around been on nights now got tonsillitus so bed bound not had chance to catch up hope your all well lors of love

BOO

ps hope you feel etter soon bakingqueen

Lol blue you are even nesting on our thread, love the way you tidied up the commando/small panters

baking sorry you are poorly, hope you have spent today resting.

lbm glad you had a good holiday, will leave you with your head in the sand

barbie look forward to a mass update tomorrow and hope you had tons of fun with your friends. Am trying to think of a name for the new thread but keeping 4ever in mind, maybe she has some ideas, think we need to keep the weeble in there.....

Hope all is well with everyone else, and boo to you too mermaid though a little late I know

Hello just a quick post to see if my name change has worked. Also I've posted a new photo of Saara. Can someone tell me if they can see it?

I'm finally back home after over a month. It feels strange and missing my family DH still hasnt finished making the cot, which he's doing now! It will be his first night with Saara so that should be interesting!

Tired from our Saara and mines first proper day out, which was at a wedding reception. Promise to post soon. Off to watch X factor.

Hi all.
Feeling lot better thanks. DH came home with some clinique face cream for me (which I love but never buy for myself) and some yummy chocs Lovely man! We've had some quality time this weekend and I've done nothing for work, so that has to help, Found myself counting weeks til I can finish today (16 on Friday - too many!)Feel like I'm wishing my life away a bit - again!

Blue Really pleased to hear you are taking control of the situation. It will really help and it IS exciting to think you wont have to wait too long to hold your longed for LO in your arms. I can't wait to sort out all my teeny tiny clothes
Thanks for saying that about your DS. Think my DD is a bit unhappy at her childcare just now. We still haven't told her about the baby, so she's possibly picking up on the vibes from that too.

Cupcake Once again, I'm just so pleased for you and really happy to hear you're mum and MIL are so excited. I know you're petrified but try to go with it. A baby IS exciting and a first grandchild on both sides is particularly special. I have my fingers crossed for your lovely DH and the job too.

4ever Hello weebly lady. I've lost track of how many weeks you are but I think it's officially almost ten and by your count 9+2? You are getting there, slowly and surely. Here's my hand for tomorrow BTW I wasn't wishing you back to work, just to hear your words of wisdom more often!

Vjay It's lovely to hear how in love with Alex you are - and with that smile who wouldn't be. Your posts keep me going and also make me a bit excited about what's to come

Barbie Hope your guests have gone and you've recharged your batteries. How far on are you now?

Mermaid Hi. Hope you had a good weekend. Bet you did something good for Hallowe'en. We went to a party/bbq at my parents' house - was good fun.

LBM Welcome 'home'! You're doing well. If you were pregnant, it wouldn't be long until you were due a scan...

Buddha Hope all's well with you. thanks for your lovely thoughts.

Sabs really enjoyed reading about all your traditions. Hope you got to the wedding and you're now settling Saara in at home.

baking Hope you feel better soon and your illness is a sign that a little bean is lowering your immune system

Iggy How's things? Still waiting on a pic of your horse!

Big waves to Gracie, Curly, Annie and Mrskate

Hope Ginger Jools Hoping* MlS and moon are battling demons and winning.
(MLS is on the 2ww and was pleased to know you're rooting for her BTW)
Think I've remembered everyone

yes Sabs, name changed and also profile details, oh mummy of one!

Sabs gorgeous pic - what a cutie! Enjoy your 1st night at home, bet your DH is really excited

Evening LBM. Hope you're well today. Not mentioning the unmentionable

Hi neeko - you're right, if I was I would be!! Glad you're feeling better and your DH is looking after you!

My DH managed to get me some great birthday presents - lovely soft cheese and wine and then realized that I couldn't eat or drink any of it! Chocolates would have been much better!!
