hellllllooooooooooooo
Super re charged barbie is back and has an hour of peace while dh is at football so i can sit and talk to you girlies...
Friends left on sat and spent sunday evening trying to stay awake later than 6pm we filled the week we had with them completely, acting like tour guides so its only understandable we were both completely wiped out yesterday, hence the lack of posting. It was nice to do some of the touristy things again and look at dubai through fresh eyes....it really is a great place to be but like all people we take it for granted after being here nearly 11 months!
The news from me is that the little thing inside me is now offically a 'baby' i have cracked the 24 week barrier and now am viable
In light of this we have pulled our fingers out and finally registered at the hospital on saturday, going to the maternity unit was v. v. emotional....Had to escape to the washroom to hide the tears
Dh was so funny on seeing a newborn he asked me how old i thought it was, when the mother who heard replied 2 days i thought dh was going to faint from shock because he said how do it all fit inside???? Im glad he saw how big it gets as i think men forget what we are carrying around on a daily baises...made he really realise my moaning is acceptable!
We also did the whole baby list and pram shopping. We tried so many prams and the only one i can really operate is the bugaboo....however over here it cost £1000!
We are going to see one tomorrow that a lady bought and didnt like so its nearly brand new, its half the price and has everything with it. Failing that we will order in the uk and get one of the parents to bring it out.
I also had my 24 week checkup this week and instead of listening to the heartbeat with the doppler she scanned me instead, so i got to see the baby again i heart my doctor! Back on saturday for a gloucose test and bloods...
Oh and im 2 days shy of 25 weeks now....
Anyways enough about me, i hope you all had a good weekend and didnt pig out on the kids halloween sweeties!
4ever you are doing so so well, i hope you are rested and making the most of your dh pampering you. Has dh cold gone yet? was it confirmed as swine flu??? Ive been racking my brains about names...
hows about something in chat..im trying to add as many small panters/ no panters to the title to bring them luck..
so far 'where mermaids play under a bluemoon searching for jools while wobbling weebles watch from the shores.... you get the drift! Come on girls help me out!!!!
neeko can understand the stress when dh is away, i hated it when mine was away and made every wobble seem so much worse! i too wish we all lived near each other, coffee mornings would be a scream with some of the info we know about each other!
vjay your son is soooooooooooooo cute, i want one just like that same goes for you sabs saara is gorgeous, now i cant make up my mind if i prefer a boy or a girl! i hope dh is settling in with the both of you at home. It was good to hear about your traditions, although im sure i couldnt keep them up for long
I hope both of you are enjoying your new additions, by the sounds of it it wont be long until the next few arrive..which brings me on to....
blue I have everything crossed you get a few more weeks to prepare for your new arrival...how are you feeling now? when is your next appt? are you going to spill on your name choices????? I have been daring to take sneaky peaks at the things my mum bought over...im dying to get them all washed and folded but will resist until i give up work and have the time to do so...
cupcake im still smiling at your news...did i tell you i made my friends and dh rush home from the beach so i could check for updates not addicated to mn i promise! Your mum sounds v much like mine, she started buying things from week 7, although i did give her very strict instructions not to tell anyone til week 12, not sure if she really kept the promise with me being over here now the whole bloody world knows as well as the cashier in tesco and the strange man who walks his dog past the house in the mornings
lbm i hope when you finally get your head out of the sand you blow your nose really hard cos the sand will harden up there over time and will cause a nose bleed...ha ha glad you had a good holiday and bravo for remaining so upbeat!
