Just poking my head round the door of our lovely new thread to say a huge Congrats to Gracie and Curly Wonderful news

MLS How are you feeling?

I'm feeling very sick and can hardly eat, so if I'm not around for a while then you know why! Have only thrown up once so far, which is good going for me, but am feeling awful...

Barbie Loads of luck for next week if I don't get chance to come back on. Can't wait to hear what you have - I reckon it's a boy too!

Will try and update after Thursdays scan - good luck for your hospital appt then too Barbie

Love to you all - am off to stagger back to the couch where my sick bowl awaits. Bleurgh.

VJay · 06/02/2010 11:37

Just plonking myself in the greenhouse

Neeko · 06/02/2010 11:39

Hi all.

Huge congratulations to Gracie and Curly on the birth of their beautiful daughters and how lovely for the girls to share a birthday with a cyber cousin (and AuntieMoon)

Love to everyone else.

Joolsiam · 06/02/2010 12:26

Morning all

No, I didn't test this morning as I had some brown spotting. Think it is 50:50 as I'm sitting on the sofa and feeling quite nauseous at the mo ... I really have been quite poorly for the last couple of days though, so a lot of the "symptoms" could be that - high temp, dizziness, nausea etc along with a horrid cold.

Was hoping to bring over the list and quietly put my name in the medium pants list - maybe tomorrow, maybe next month

Does anyone on here apart from MM play Farmville ? I need more neighbours so I can expand my farm Oh, and if anyone is getting fed up by the games feeds, I can teach you how to block just those updates ..

bakingqueen · 06/02/2010 12:47

Congratulations to Gracie and Curley hope your enjoying your new daughters

littlebellsmum · 06/02/2010 12:53

Blue I'm with you - I think it's going to be barbieboy too!!

cupcakefairy · 06/02/2010 13:05

Well good afternoon what a fab day yesterday was I can't believe we had another double whammy! 2 boys back in Nov and now 2 lovely girls .. LBM we'll have to start taking bets on that hat trick in May
Huge congrats to gracie and can't wait to hear the chosen name.

Lol, mermaid, you saying about barbie's exclamation being quote of the week made me laugh I love the 'you are next' on the list too Vjay ...there's no getting away from it now barbie! I am quite scared by how small the big-panters list is getting though-

monkey sorry to hear about sickness but really hope that is a good sign. Will be thinking of you Thursday.

jools meh to brown spotting, I really hope that's not af announcing her arrival, you so deserve to be next. Sorry, don't play any fb games!

sabs what a lovely day out with your girl and glad she was so well-behaved

dh had his first baby-related dream! Nothing special, just that we had the baby...but I was quite chuffed

Joolsiam · 06/02/2010 13:07

So we have pink, we have blue but no twins yet - surely we'll get one set on this thread ?

cupcakefairy · 06/02/2010 13:07

Ooh, just seen the ad for that new show about the maternity hospital on the side of this page... I am in two minds about whether to watch it or not, do I really need to see lots of women giving birth in these next few weeks I think ignorance is bliss in this case...

barbie1 · 06/02/2010 15:54

Shit...it really is me next!

Sorry for going awol...no news from me apart from ive been to ill too post, think i have a bug or something
Promise to post tomorrow, and catch up....

Congrats to gg so pleased, thats the kind of birth i want, quick and easy!
Looking forward to hearing your name too.....

Right im with monkey on the sofa with a sick bowl.....

mermaidspurse · 06/02/2010 18:52

I'm making marmalade at the minute it could go one way or the other can't get the blinking stuff to set.

4everhopeful · 06/02/2010 19:02

Popping in quickly to wet babys heads, stroke sickly ones hair, give choc to Mermaid for AF, and say hello to our new home! Its nice in here

4everhopeful · 06/02/2010 19:23

OK trying out my superquick new PC - love it! Have just uploaded a pic of Baby 4ever from 22 wk scan, and a pic of my mahoosive bump!

Had to laugh that Cupcakes only just in mat leggings! Ive been in them since before christmas! Im sooooooooo big!

Lionstar · 06/02/2010 20:47

Awwww 4ever your piccies are gorgeous! The last scan one brought tears to my eyes, she already looks beautiful . And that's quite some bump you have too, you look blooming for sure.

Fingers crossed for all the happy BFPs this thread will bring.

Lionstar · 06/02/2010 20:48

Oh, and happy babies too of course. Barbie we're waiting for you to christen this thread with a gush of waters

Joolsiam · 06/02/2010 20:51

4Ever very of that gorgeous bump

Don't somehow think it is my month - brown spotting all day

Eating choc and brie and still shaking after some drunken twat tried to pick a fight with DP - it ended up in a fight eventually as this 17 year old twat was just so obnoxious - he started on me, so got a kick in the privates for his pains, then DP muscled in to protect me, police called ... Nasty and totally not our fault - this was just a drunken idiot looking for a fight, and got a broken nose and very sore bits out of it !!

BuddhaBelly · 06/02/2010 21:28

Just reserving my seat on the new thread
Huge congratulations to Gracie & Curly on their wonderful much loved pink bundles! Can't wait to see some photo's girls

Monkey & MLS* Fantastic BFP news girls!
Jools Everything is crossed for you x
Barbie Top of the list hey? No pressure then my lovely
I am lurking but struggling to keep up at the moment, promise to try harder

Joolsiam · 06/02/2010 21:46

Good to "see" you Buddha

We know you are busy with a little bundle of gorgeousness, so absences forgiven, as long as you little family is OK and we get some picture updates

Joolsiam · 06/02/2010 22:18

Have just heard that one of DP's closest friends collapsed and died this afternoon - in front of his 12 year old son

BuddhaBelly · 06/02/2010 22:37

Jools That is terrible news, poor boy what an awful shock for him and his family. It's bad enough losing your Dad at such a young age but to witness it too

Neeko · 07/02/2010 09:14

Awful news Jools . What a terrible weekend you've had. Hope you're as near to ok as you can be.

Mermaid sorry AF got youbut at least the boys can take their hard hats off.

4ever Happy new PC and lovely pics. Are those jammies from Mothercare? If so we have the same ones.

Lovely to see so many faces on here over the past couple of days. You know what they say about weddings and births for bringing people together.

Buddha I think it's hard for us all to keep up lately. Just pop in when you can.

Cupcake I'm going to watch that programme so I'll hold your hand if you like.

Monkey sorry you're feeling rubbish but all good signs.

Vjay Which night's the christening so I can clear my diary? BTW had a letter from the docs yesterday and it lists the names of all the docs at our practice- one of them's called Ajay. Made me

iggy Not long now lovely

Moon How was the birthday?

Blue Is Ben sleeping any better? How's the bottle going?

barbie does sound like you're moving in the right direction - or at least baby is but don't be too disappointed if yours isn't as punctual as Graciegirl'sgirl LBM Had a at your I am blessed post the other day. Lovely.

MLS Hope those symptoms are coming on nicely but try not to overanalyse (yeah, right!)

Things here are still pretty stressful. Can't really discuss it as people involved know I MN and it would be just my luck for them to read it Things should ease considerably when I stop (a week on Friday)

I had a card through for 10% off Mothercare online (ordered my matress for crib, Close baby carrier (Cupcake ) in charcoal (MLS/Blue ) and some other bits and pieces. The code is KRT if anyone wants to try it. It seems to valid until end of month with free delivery when you spend £65 or more. Not sure if it's transferrable but worth a try.

Love to everyone else.

MrsKate · 07/02/2010 10:31

hi all

im so so so so happy for gracie and Curly* on their girlies .

im doing ok had accident at work yesterday dropped a drip pump on top of tum and had to spend nearly 4 hours on labour ward on monitors. not good all is well with boris though just battered and bruised o was so scared thought i was going to go in labour . ive got to have scan monday to make sure everything ok .

sorry its a me post again!!!

Joolsiam · 07/02/2010 10:35

Good to see you back Neeko and I hope things sort themselves out for you soon.

Just dropping by to tell any expectant lurkers that I haven't tested - if I did and by some miracle got the result I want, I'd have to tell DP and he has enough emotions going through his head right now

No AF though - should turn up before bedtime and I think it is 50:50 whether it will or not - boobs not as sore but definitely nauseous this morning, and had no PMT.

Busy and sad day today - think we will be visiting the bereaved family to help out / be there / make cups of tea

mermaidspurse · 07/02/2010 10:47

jools lovely lady, so sorry you have had such a terrible weekend to deal with. My thoughts are with you all.x

neeko you too and hope you are ok.x

kate go carefully and I am sure boris is fine.

4ever at your mahossive bump

monkey barbie hope both of you are feeling a little less sick.

moon also that you are enjoying your extended birthday weekend

barbie1 · 07/02/2010 14:47

Hello girls...

jools what a shitty weekend you have been having so sorry to hear about your friend and at you being in a fight! Hope you are ok and not too hurt? Boo hiss at brown spotting...still its not quite over yet so i have everything crossed for you x

mermaid again...boo hiss at the witch arriving...least your body is getting into sync again and the boys are aware of the reason and dont have to watch there step quite so much! Any more gym action?

kate you really are in the wars arent you? i think its best that you take mat leave early and stay out of trouble! any news on gg name for her little girl???

neeko hope everything is ok? must be a worry that someone in rl will read your postings...not fair is it? this should be our save little haven.

monkey hope you are feeling better, sorry for taking up some of the space on your sofa yesterday! Im feeling ok today, convinced in having some sort of contractions and ouch do they hurt! I have cardio appointment tomorrow at the hospital and then im going to wonder over the the mat ward to see if i can confirm with a nurse that my pains are normal.....hope you feel better soon.

4ever loving the bump i did think wow its huge...but then i looked back at my belly at 24 weeks and i was just as big! ha ha...oh and there is a thread going on at the moment re 2 cords...all the posters had positive stories to tell

Oh gg has just text me to say she is still in hospital as she had a few probs after the birth and that she wanted to reassure me that the giving birth bit isnt too bad...
It was so nice to think of all the love on here that it made me cry!!!

I was awake all last night, thinking about being the top of the list...it freaked me out i can tell you! I have always been hidden safely behind a few other people but now its me god help us all....and the poor people having to listen to my screams in the room next to me on the labour ward im taking my laptop with me as im sure there is wireless connection so will keep you all posted! jools has kindly given me the right number so i can text her 4ever thanks for your offer too....i will try to get buddha to email all of your contact details so i can be more involved!

nice to see you lurking bakingqueen

cupcake any nice houses/fats to report back on???

lbm im thinking boy for me too..have since week 7 in fact if they tell my its a girl im going to ask them to double check 'the bits'! ...dh thinks girl though....i guess one of us is right!

blue thanks for starting this lovely new thread...im sure it will bring more good luck and bfp...so far we havent had a thread where there hasnt been good news!

Well dh has given me permission to have the baby tonight after the football or thursday this week....it fits in with all of his plans

Hope everyone is having a nice relaxing sunday
