I'm here Jools Lots and lots of symptoms for you Sunken bath sounds fab.

MummyLovesSadie · 09/09/2009 19:51

Jooools!! Aching boobs? Extreme tiredness? Dizzyness? Nauseousnessness? I'm shuffling up on the medium pants bench as we speak to make room for you!

Neeko · 09/09/2009 19:53

hiya MLS How are you feeling?

MummyLovesSadie · 09/09/2009 19:58

Oh Cupcake if you are reading this so sorry about your dh being made redundant. What shitty timing. I know it doesn't feel like it now but I'm sure something will come up for him soon & it might even be better than the job he's just left. These things always happen for a reason. I've been made redundant twice, both times were totally out of the blue & they were both with immediate effect but each time I ended up with a much better job.

Neeko scan, what scan...... must be confusing me with someone else? !

Catch up alert
VJay Beautiful picture, so happy for you and your family, DS looks really proud
Barbie Love the new thread name but not as much as the dentist story, nearly wet myself
MrsKate Sorry to hear you're still feeling crap
4ever I think you are coping amazingly with all the anniversaries that you have had/having at the moment, I admire your strength lovely lady and you did make me with the fertility pie story. My consultant did say that I shouldn't take the baby aspirin until BFP too, will be interesting to see what your googling research says.
Sabs Not long for you now
Cupcake Any news on the interview and DH's job?
MLS Lol at you fattening up! I seem to have completely lost my normally huge appetite, definately haven't got the eating for two worked out although DH seems to have Will think of you on Friday
Moon I have my pom poms out to do the stay away AF dance for you if you like Well done on talking to the pg ladies, hope tomorrow goes as well as can be expected
Neeko How are you feeling about being 12+1 Good I hope? Are you still buried under your stationary?
Blue Thanks for explaining the SPD for me, the white coat looks lovely on you
annie Glad to see I'm not the only one on countdown to mat leave, 10 weeks on Friday!
Iggy Love the list, hopefully a guarantee of a BFP specially if you get the new job
mermaid Hello lovely, how you doing? Can't say I've ever "found" a pair of knickers up my trouser leg
hoping Sounds as if you had pretty much the same verdict we had, how are you feeling about it? I wanted something that could be fixed rather than nothing wrong if that makes sense? But loving the symptoms you seem to have
Jools Your non-symptom spotting is going so well They are fantastic signs test test test
Barbie Have you started buying anything yet? Did you sort out the hospital saga too?

Waves to LBM Fifi Curly & Gracie hope you are all OK?

Well still no appt for physio yet, I know I only saw mw last Thurs but not being able to walk for more than a few yards without pain is just a little annoying I think I'll chase it up tomorrow, especially as DH and I go on holiday in just over 2 weeks, he's also being made redundant the Friday before we go lovely timing!

MummyLovesSadie · 09/09/2009 20:05

Actually just having a feel of my (.)(.) & I'm definitely more than a handful, there's no baggyness in my 36f bra & they are a little bit tender. Honestly, I'll be the happiest woman in the world if only I can come back to you all tomorrow afternoon & tell you about seeing a healthy bean with a heartbeat. I hope someone up there is listening.

BuddhaBellyBigPants · 09/09/2009 20:08

MLS I forgot scan is tomorrow isn't it? What time? I will be thinking of you, all the luck in the world but I'm sure you won't need it

Neeko · 09/09/2009 20:09

MLS I know it doesn't matter what anyone else says - at least not tonight - but I have such a strong feeling that this LO is a fighter

Buddha sorry about your SPD and your DH's job. Rotten luck but I'm sure sunnier tmes are around the corner.

bluesatinsash · 09/09/2009 20:09

Hi Neeko - another footie widow here too. DH has trundled through to Hampden - again - any excuse to wear his kilt . Thanks for asking about DS - he is getting on great at his ante-pre school. His confidence is really growing to the point that I'm ocassioanlly getting the toddler equivalent of "talk to the hand, cos the face ain't listenining" . Its a double edged sword, wanting them to be confident and assured but keeping their ego's in check . A lifelong task me thinks....

re: asprin - consultant told me to take it 4 weeks before conception (how the hell do you work that out?!) so I took it evey day from February and only stopped last week. There are so many conflicting stories but I feel it helped me in a placebo type way, i.e. I felt like I was doing something to help baby stick. Was also reassured that there were no side effects....

Hi MLS - will also be with you in spirit tomorrow. Know what hell these scan rooms can be so sending you every sticky toffee pudding sticky vibe I can muster. Yes its that DS is no longer napping but he is three and I'm surprised I've gotten away with it for so long.. On the plus side he does now collapse into bed @ 7.30pm rather than 8.30pm when he napped... Hence I'm on here! I do miss my 'me time' on the PC with my sarnie at lunchtime tho'... We have a desk PC not a laptop so I can't sneakily go on it as would have to come upstairs...

mermaid - of course you'll have no more knickers down jeans scenarios now you're going commando .

4ever - lovely to see you wobbling back today with a wee spring in your weeble wobble .

Hoping lovely to read you're A-ok too and ready to go and embrace your next pg .

Off to get Mars Bar from fridge, I'll be lurking as get too uncomfy lying on couch x

Neeko · 09/09/2009 20:11

Meant to say Buddha stationery or sand - as long as I'm still burying my head, what's the difference?!?

bluesatinsash · 09/09/2009 20:14

Hi Buddha and sorry for x-post! Rubbish news about your DH's job . I know you knew something was coming for a while but still shit. Has he been looking around for anything? The news is full of stories about the 'green shoots' of recovery and how recuitment agenices are seeing an upsurge in placements....

Must email cupcake. What rotten timing for her DH but great news about her temp still being up....

Neeko · 09/09/2009 20:16

hi Blue Glad to hear your DS is geting on well. My DD also has attitude but think it comes from spending weekdays with her older boy cousins. DD stopped napping on the 2nd day of the school holidays but has slept every day this week for my SIL - typical. It's probably a growth spurt though.

Half-time and 0-0 so fingers crossed for happy hubbies.

BTW I soooo want a Mars bar now

bluesatinsash · 09/09/2009 20:19

Slightly chilled from the fridge so flakes break off with cold glass of milk (to be said in Derva whatshername M&S advert voiceover)

BuddhaBellyBigPants · 09/09/2009 20:23

Neeko I agree doesn't matter which so long as they cover your head
Blue Stop teasing with the mars bar! Although I've just scoffed a piece of vienetta DH is applying for jobs, but where we live is quite rural so the business that have folded probably won't return to the area, think the recession will hit us for a lot longer than other areas, typical! Still working in the jobcentre means I get to see some of the good ones first!

Neeko · 09/09/2009 20:45

Blue you're evil! I have a big bar of Dairy Milk in the cupboard that I've bought for making top hats at DD's birthday and it's shouting me!

Buddha Hope something turns up and soon. x

MummyLovesSadie · 09/09/2009 20:46

Thanks for all your hands to hold, it means a lot.

Actually Neeko I really do trust your intuition as you have been right many times! Do you really think it might be twins though??

Blue it must be difficult to have to try & entertain your ds all day without being able to recharge your batteries. Oh I do love a man in a kilt! There is something macho, patriotic & utterly utterly fwoooaaar about it! Of course I insisted that my dh & all Scottish male guests to our wedding wore one!

Buddha my scan is it 2.30. I sympathise with your pain as from about 7 months with dd I was on crutches as I had pain in my pelvis & all the ligaments in my feet collapsed due to weight gain & my already super-stretchy ligaments being made even more stretchy by the relaxin hormone. Even now my toes look odd!

MummyLovesSadie · 09/09/2009 20:48

Neeko chocolate top hats.... WTF??

MummyLovesSadie · 09/09/2009 20:53

Hmmmmmmmm perhaps I'll go to the kitchen to make a pair of shoes out of a bagel then....

MummyLovesSadie · 09/09/2009 20:54

... or a handbag out of spaghetti....

MummyLovesSadie · 09/09/2009 20:56

..... or maybe a can fashion a fetching dress from a jar of pickled cucumbers?

BuddhaBellyBigPants · 09/09/2009 20:57

... or some toast trousers?

Neeko · 09/09/2009 20:59

lol chocolate top hats are those wee cakes with chocolate bottom, a marshmallow and a smartie on top!

I'm only about 50 percent certain about the twins though.

Neeko · 09/09/2009 21:05

BTW pickled cucumbers WTF?!?

MummyLovesSadie · 09/09/2009 21:15

Oh I see, can't say I've ever had a cake like that.

Pickled cucumbers are ace in a bagel with pastrami, tomato, cheese & mustard. God, all I think about at the moment is food, I've developed a massive spare tyre over the last two weeks.

Neeko · 09/09/2009 21:28

try the cakes - they're delish! Are pickled cucumbers like pickled gherkins?

I've finally started rubbing cream into my "bump". Using Boots mediterranean (sp) massage butter and it smells gorgeous! I smell good enough to eat tonight
