Hi
once again Yay for 4ever. So nice to hear you posting all smiley and happy

barbie Wow you are busy. Good news about a bigger villa though cos you'll need it when the family inundate you to see babybarbie MLS so jealous about Italy still. I want a full itinery of your meals when you come back.

Iggy Nice to see you. You sound quite chilled. Hope you're makig some big plans for New Year whilst in non TTC mode.

Annie Glad you're hanging in there. Won't be long now. Can't remember what flavour you're having

mermaid the only blooming I'll be doing is being blooming huge but I'm not complaining. Are your returns all done?

Cupcake Your post made me feel all Christmassy I started writing my cards this morning. I'm aiming for a few a day to make the process as aimless as possible. My problem is that I can't just sign our names but have to write a message to everyone

Blue Hope you're all shopped and sniffed out.

Hi to Sabs and Vjay and gorgeous babies.
Big waves to everyone else.

bakingqueen · 09/11/2009 18:39

Just a quick post as af here and not in a great mood sorry

Congrats to 4ever lovely to hear baby doing well

Happy Bday Jools hope you have had a great day

BlueMoon1981 · 09/11/2009 20:15

4ever an extra yay to add to your list! so very happy things are going well for you, you really deserve it.

bq shove up on the af bench, mine is due any time now, had the back ache and the cramps so expecting it tomorrow i think

hope all commando/small/medium/big and saggy panters are all doing ok xxx

cupcakefairy · 09/11/2009 21:10

Oh boo to TEW bq so sorry. Moon hope she stays away from you.

Neeko yay for feeling Christmassy! Dh and I make our Christmas cards every year and haven't done a thing for them yet! Last year I made all the envelopes too out of wrapping paper don't think I will be doing that this year!
I totally have to write a message in every card too it seems so impersonal to just write names.
annie is having a boy btw... Curly is our only girl-expecter at the moment I think?

bluesatinsash · 09/11/2009 21:11

Fantastic news 4ever - been thinking about you all day, another scan under your belt another tiny exhaling of breath .

BQ - sorry AF got you . Keeping fingers crossed Moon... Neeko - I bought my xmas cards today but won't be writing them until mid December in case I have to add another name . I also have to write wee message and it takes bloody ages! Glasgow was lovely and crisp and sunny and wintry and we got loads of pressies for the wee ones (nephew and nieces) as well as a spray and sniff session in Jo Malone and The WC . Also got DH his b'day (21st of this month) and managed a cake and pot of tea from Fifi and Ally's in Princes Square - lovely. Would hate to go on a Sat tho' as it was busy enough today . Only three sleeps til your scan . How has your DD been this week?

Cupcake - I also watch 'Love Actually' in run up to Xmas (always bawl my eyes out at the Emma Thompson scene with Joni Mitchel playing...) also 'When Harry Met Sally' (Wed. before xmas) and 'Its a Wonderful Life' (Xmas Eve). I like my traditions me!

Hi Annie welcome to maternity leave .

Barbiebusybee - what a few weeks you have lined up - yowser! Glad your tests are OK and had a wee at you marking off the days in your prison spa. Once xmas is over it will really speed up and you lo will be here before you know it!

MLS - where about in Italy are you off to? I've always wanted to go to Tuscany after seeing 'Steeling Beauty' years ago . Any symptom spotting heading your way?

Off to venture downstairs... DH is watching Liverpool and I think its 1-0 to them going on the shouts and yeah's .

cupcakefairy · 09/11/2009 21:22

Awwww blue lush traditions I will only watch Love Actually in December...it would just be wrong at any other time!
The Emma Thompson storyline is definitely the best one..always makes me cry too, especially when she has a go at her gorgeous nasty hubby and then has to act all fine for her kids

Right, am off to watch Hell's Kitchen USA final now

MummyLovesSadie · 09/11/2009 21:36

Blue we are going to Rome & our hotel is right at the base of the Spanish Steps! Apparently it is an old 16th century palace.

Yes loads of symptoms actually but none I'm prepared to divulge lest I end up with egg on my face!

cupcakefairy · 09/11/2009 23:16

Ah enjoy Rome MLS, I'd love to go. I'm reading Eat, Pray, Love at the mo and her descriptions of Rome and the food are just inducing! You deserve a lovely break.

I haven't been on here all evening if anyone's wondering just one last check before bed as I prob won't have time tomorrow! Night girls x

iggypiggy · 10/11/2009 09:57

morning all - am actually feeling fine today - was worried about being miserable, but actually am ok - guess is the anticipation rather than the actual date after all...

mermaidspurse · 10/11/2009 10:07

iggy you brave lady, thinking of you today lots. I know what you mean about the lead up being horrid. Big gold star headed your way.xx

i am out this month not that I was in of course() cd day 24 as regular as clockwork ho hum reckon any eggs I did have have all morphed into 's too! and now I have lost my voice - my household have rejoiced

annie yehay for your maternity leave, enjoy.

mls enjoy your holiday lots.

hope everyone else is healthy this morning.

barbie1 · 10/11/2009 11:21

barbie is back to her normal silly self

shaved a whole leg before realising cap was still on the razor.....

and then just now waited for ages for the hand dryer to start working until i realised it was a towel dispenser

Just thought id share to bring giggles to the thread, back later cos im at work. x

anniebigpants · 10/11/2009 11:31

Morning lovelies, sorry i didnt get back on yesterday, i got carried away in a wirlwind of washing,ironing, and general tidying, was so exhausted last night i went to bed same time as DS-7.45pm!

MLS-It is so lovely to see you back, you,ve been really missed on here. Keeping fingers crossed for any potential signs/symptoms. Have a lovely time in Rome.

4ever-Yeyy again for you , ive already sent you my congrats by text, but im so happy for you that things are going well, will be praying for your next biggie, the nuchal scan next week.

mermaid-Hello lovely, hope you are keeping well, and you are still enjoying working with DH. It was so lovely of you to organise a bottle of fizz for Jools.

Speaking of Jools-Hope you enjoyed cornwall and had some lovely food. Hope you enjoyed yor birthday yesterday too. Life begins at 40....

Neeko-Hope you managing okay at work and not struggling. Yes, as cupcake says, its another DS for me, and judging by the size of my bump, another big one -i look like Mr Greedy!

VJay and Sabs-Hope you and your little ones are doing well, same too Lion if you are lurking.

Hoping-Sorry to see you and DH have made the brave decision to give up on the TTC, hope you get a surprise BFP in the near future and come back to let us know.

LBM-Hand holding if you want it, for your scan tomorrow. Im feeling very positive for you, youve been a great support on here and deserve all good things.

Iggy-Hope today passes okay for you, big hugs. I agree the build up to the date is worse than the actual date itself.

Blue-Hope you are enjoying maternity leave too. Glasgow sounds fab, its ages since ive been there, i love the shopping there.Glad to hear LO is behaving itself at the minute, naughty baby for worrying mummy and daddy so much! Is DS looking forward to the new arrival? My DS is so excited, but is so clingy to me at the minute, i cant even go to the loo without him demanding to be in with me. I keep reassuring him that i love him, and he tells me constantly how much he loves me, bless him.

Moon-Hello lovely, hope you are doing okay. Hope TEW stays away from you.

BQ-Thinking of you hon, look after yourself and hope you feel in better frame of mind soon.

Barbie-Im sorry but i had a little giggle at your nightmare glucose test. I had to have one of those with DS and it was foul! People were telling me it was Lucozade they gave you, was it hell, it was foul sugar syrup solution!

MrsKate-Hope you are doing OK. Hows work going, no more mishaps with drunken patients falling on you , i hope?
Say hi to Gracie for me please.

Buddha-So sorry to hear the SPD is getting worse, not fun at all. Hope when you have scan on Thursday, the placenta has moved out of the way.

Curly-Hope the sickness settles soon for you, youve had it rough poor sweetheart.

Cupcake-Hope you and beanie are well. Great news about DH new job, well done to him.
Re your friends sex life at 5 weeks post birth, i was very too! That was the last thing on my mind, good luck on people who feel like they want sex that soon after a baby, my sex life vanished until about 3 months after if i recall....
A midwife patient of mine was telling me when she used to practice in a rough area of the North East, and it wasnt unheard of for some partners to cut their wives/girlfriends stitches so they could have their way with them

Im off to get ready in a bit as still in my 'lounging' gear, got midwife appointment at 1pm, im hoping that LO is starting to engage as he wasnt last time.
