Cupcake - 4 flights of stairs would be good for weightloss but not much else!

I'm in agreement with babygros for at least the first 3 months - partly for lazy reasons as it's so much easier to get them dressed in those than messing around with proper clothes

wow, X post and I just missed curlys great news! Wonderful to hear from you - welcome grace Enjoy those first cuddles - they are very precious

jools sorry you'r ill but aren't you always ill when you get a BFP?

Got to go - lunch people are hear!

Huge congratulations curly, {grin], brilliant news

Thankyou all for your hugs, they are much needed at the mo . iggy my DS1 would do that too, once he's finished with something, that's it, there's no finishing a job

barbie I think you are having braxton hicks, does your tummy start to go hard then builds up to a lot of pressure then dies down again?

mermaid the snow has all gone thank goodness, though dh did buy a snow shovel yesterday, a bit late but was a bargin apparently

Yay for Curly and welcome babyGrace - so lovely!

vjay used to make me giggle cos he was so polite, but so firm - sounds so grown up from a 10 yr old he's 18 now... scarily... I first started teaching 14 years agao... that makes me feel old

iggypiggy · 05/02/2010 13:43

mermaid I meant to say - lovely to see you popping back... sorry you but so pleased you still lurk xx

MummyLovesSadie · 05/02/2010 13:47

Well done Curly , can't wait for the full story & pics.

Gracie sending you virtual pushing strength.

GTG as feeling rather sick.

iggy that sounds like my ds too, he can be so formal sometimes, he used to call me mother and his dad father, he now calls us mum and dad , he will sometimes come up to me and say 'so how's the weather?' he does make me laugh

Oh and he has been known to ask 'what's that human doing over there?' when just asking what someone is doing

iggypiggy · 05/02/2010 13:57

vjay that's interesting - i had no idea whether he was typical in that behaviour - as he is really my only experience with autism. I think that formality is actually v. endearing mum and dad must be nicer than mother and father though

Yaaaaaaay!!! well done Curly!! And welcome Grace- beautiful name choice I resisted coming on here all day to get on with my work and I missed this very important news...feel quite emotional now; I remember your first few wobbly weeks and I was in France when I got the text after your first scan to say all was ok... been a long journey but I'm sure totally totally worth it. Congratulations!!

Wonder how our gracie is doing...

iggy yay for considering moving onto the big-bottomed bench My pants aren't that big, but I am wearing maternity leggings for the first time today and they are really comfortable!!

Ooh barbie what are you seeing at cinema? We're going tonight too now I can walk again, yay! Think we might see Precious though I'm quite tempted by The Princess and the Frog

MLS yay for sickness..but also boo.. hope you don't feel too rough.

Vjay that made me smile loads about your ds, so sweet

I finally finished the blanket last night. I tried to take pic on our posh new DSLR camera but they came out rubbish as I have no idea how to use all the settings and dh was out...I'll try again tonight!

wow a double pink day

curly thinking of you all curled up cuddling grace. So pleased that all is fine, enjoy every nano second.x

gracie well it had to happen georgette? georgina? ouch at the sutures but at least it was quick, just make sure dh gets you a rubber ring to sit on - barbie put rubber ring on your list.

I think "shit.. Im nearly at the top of the list" has to be quote of the week

moon hope you have a lovely sparkly birthday, its hard I so understand but you have come a long way and this year is but young
