Mid 30s TTC - Simply The BESH... BESHer than all the rest!

Come on in, ladies. I've had a widescreen telly installed and there's a big cupboard full of 80s teen movies if anyone's interested. New and more secure cages for our prey are being delivered soon. There's a big picture of a desert over the bar, a loudly ticking clock in the corner and bowls of raisins, currants and sultanas on every table; everything the discerning BESH could ask for...

Bless the little pooh shoe

ginhag · 03/10/2009 11:33

By the way Kim never post exciting news on a weekend morning! most of the BESHes are prob still sleeping off their hangovers...they'll all straggle in eventually to clink glasses with you!

In the meantime,fancy a kir imperiale? (vodka,cassis,champagne...yum)

and I will sing the 'woop woop kim is diffed!' song for you

Scorpette · 03/10/2009 11:36

YAAAAYYY! for Kim! I said one of us has to updiff every thread, didn't I?

Mmmm, yeah! So, until I mc, fraid gin and ponyslag you have to be lush mentors.
Mani is a fine young man. Foal is v pretty. Then again, I still not projecting that far forward - am not certain this will lead to owt: have some sort of medieval evil eye thought process thing going on. Not that I am managing to think of very much at all. Gin assure me that your brain doesn't go to mush over the next months. Tho mine already has, clearly.

But on to other things since this is all too weird. Spacemen3. Do you remember them or am I alone on this one?

ginhag · 03/10/2009 11:50

Sorry spacemen 3 yup! Jason spaceman went on to spiritulised,who I'm also rather fond of. Oo the (very fuzzy) memories..

Yep fraid your brain goes to shit. Pregnancy makes every thought into something that starts with 'ummm' and ends with 'or something,maybe,I dunno.'

good preparation for a life with no sleep tho

ginhag · 03/10/2009 11:52

Very bad typing am being body slammed by a pro wrestling toddler (ow)

kimdeal · 03/10/2009 11:53

Scorps sorry the mmm was to Gin's cocktail, not your message. Scorps it's only been a few months for you, right? It is normal to take a least a year - only worry after that, please. Gives self a judgy wedgy.
Also, I do indeed hold you entirely responsible for my ?predicament?, seeing as this is your thread and all. If it does 'all pan out' (my new phrase) I will need some name advice ok. Given that it was my childhood intention to find and marry someone with the name of Sugarpuff (ok I was about 5 kimpuff) my name choosing ability is clearly crap.

kimdeal · 03/10/2009 11:58

gin ha ha ha, oh god. Ummm, I do that already, Am doomed.
And sleep. I need sleep. At least 8 hours. For past week, have been waking up at 3.30 am. This is bad scene.
Jason Spaceman- I love the public school boy sox off him. (Think I more or less told him so after a gig, um but the gig in question was actually only about 3 yrs ago...) OH tells me he now has a kid. So even junky losers can do it. Scorps he is proof, buy his records and you will probably immaculately conceive.

kimdeal · 03/10/2009 12:16

PS Scorpy - re reference Jason junky...re-reading it I meant that as encouragement. Am rubbish.

Ponymum · 03/10/2009 12:47

OMG!!!111!one!! I go the the shops for a couple of hours and look what happens. kim you star, you deserve a violent whack on the back on the head.

But as for Ponyslag as a mentor... yeah, I can give great advice on how to have The Worst Pregnancy Ever (TM). You wan' it? Oh, and the MIL comment? Get used to everyone giving opinions uninvited in a totally insensitive way. This escalates (

idealcamel · 03/10/2009 12:52

kimdeal is updiffed! Jolly well done! What, apart from fat and tired, are your symptoms?

kimdeal · 03/10/2009 13:02

Camel

  1. Mood swings
  2. Hunger
  3. Sickness
  4. Irrationality
  5. Staying in bed with smelly dressing gown on til 1pm and not working properly when sposed to be working from home.
  6. On mumsnet a bit too much

i.e. general BESH/hangover symptoms.

Pony am dreadling it. Big time. It is all my fault for always saying I'd never do it, & for generally wretching whenever anyone tried to pass me a baybee. (Esp when KathKidKlunk SIL is the baybee passer.)

kimdeal · 03/10/2009 13:04

Pony I meant I am dreading the comments.

Ponymum · 03/10/2009 13:05

And scorp to answer your questions: nausea for me was not normal nausea. It was constant throughout the day and went on forever. You constantly need to nibble on something just to manage to half-concentrate in a work meeting instead of your entire brain and body screaming 'Vomit! Vomit now!' all day every fucking day until you can't remember what it felt like to not be nauseous. I always vomitted when brushing my teeth. Then would have to brush my teeth again to clean my mouth. And so on and so on. Breasts got a bit bigger but mine didn't hurt and go super-sized until BF (that's breast-feeding to the uninitiated). But I was desperate to get out of my bra after work every day as your rib cage expands something horrible due to all your internal organs being pushed upwards from where they are supposed to be. And tired, so tired, all the time. Shall I go on or are you reaching for the condoms?

And the month I actually got the BFP was no different to all the other months when I thought 'I really feel like this is the month it's worked, I really feel pg.'

kimdeal · 03/10/2009 13:22

mouth keeps fills with pre-sick saliva. Mmmm.

Also, mind has gone completely blank. Do not compute mode. This is either cus of shock at the prospect of future changes, or genuine onset of mama dumbass thickness.

Actually, some of those pg threads are full of stoopidness - this is one of the few intelligent people threads, and that ses it all. Pony and gin are our only hopes.

Right, I really ought to get out of bed.

kimdeal · 03/10/2009 13:24

"mouth keeps fills with pre-sick saliva." see: stupid fuckwit, and I am a journo in RL. Doomed I tells ya.

Ponymum · 03/10/2009 14:49

No, Kim. Not Journo. In RL you are a way cool bass player.

CurlyCasper · 03/10/2009 15:12

yeay for the fellow journo!

ginhag · 03/10/2009 15:23

urk

ginhag · 03/10/2009 15:25

Ps poneeeee the foal is a cutie!

skihorse · 03/10/2009 16:24

kim that's great news - well done - especially on the dodgy oysters obviously. Fancy a prawn? It's been in the car boot all day but I'm sure it's fine.

donttrythisathome · 03/10/2009 16:38

Hellloooo everyone.

I haven't disappeared, have been lurking in the priesthole as always.

I have nothing to say to no-one.

As for BESHfest....ooh difficult.

How about a young Led Zeppelin?
And someone gorgeous...does Keanu have a band? He'd do.

CurlyCasper · 03/10/2009 16:57

hi donttry good to have you back.

don't worry BESHies, this journo is a PR sell-out... and we don't all have daily cunt ethics

does anyone else get hot flushes mid cycle? or am i facing early menopause[panic emoticon]?

donttrythisathome · 03/10/2009 17:25

Whoops, missed the newso'the week. CONGRATS kim.

Scorpette · 03/10/2009 17:57

Thank you for your replies re: symptoms, ladies. Unfortunately, I suffer all of Kim's virtually every day:

  1. Mood swings
  2. Hunger
  3. Sickness
  4. Irrationality
  5. Staying in bed with smelly dressing gown on til 1pm and not working properly when sposed to be working from home.
  6. On mumsnet a bit too much

At this rate, I'll prolly not even realise that I've updiffed and keep fretting until a hand waves to me out of my vadge when I'm on the loo That's vadge, not VAG. I do call my 'feminine' area my 'vag', but shall spell it phonetically to not insult her,

Incidentally, my friend's mum gave birth to her on the loo DURING HER PERIOD. She had a totally flat stomach. It does happen.

Jason Spaceman, eh? If he still looks as good as he did back in the day, then I would. Fling him in one of the cages.

Well, this morn's moment of pinkiness has not been repeated. That's four bastard days of 'tiny occasional bit of beige' showing up when I wipe. Will the fucking droid make up his cunting mind?!

Poniez!!1one!, your symptoms sound dreadful (and that's excluding your SPD), but erm, at least you must've been slim with a dazzling smile. In agony. In a wheelchair. Erm, moving swiftly on...

Ski - no new thread yet, please. I think we should up the stakes and try to attain 2 updiffs per thread. Per ardua ad astra!
