Morning! Hannah was a screamer all yesterday evening then settled down at 11.30 pm and was a wee angel. Only woke every 3 hours for a feed then went straight back to sleep. Still sleeping on her daddy's chest now. Boy, sleep is good

It's 2 years today since I lost my wonderful, wise, loving and funny Gran so feeling a bit Know it's nothing in the scheme of what some of you are going through but only feels right to mark it on here. Really wish she could have met DD2...

Monkey Good to see you posting and glad that Glee and your friend are bringng brief glimpses of sunshine into your life. I'm sure the counselling will help too.

Mermaidinthebuildingsite Glad there's no pan or bleeding. Hope that means our prayers for your miracle are being answered. Since you cleared your desk, does that mean you can do no work??

Blue Burst out laughing at "its like my wedding all over again without the alcohol or sex " I'm sure DS2 will be delighted to hear his day being described as that in the future! hope you have a brilliant day.

4ever Phew to a good scan. Now sit down, relax and enjoy teh last few weeks.

Ciupcaketheshopaholic Hope you're all shopped out now and have packed your removal lorry to take you to the hospital Now sit down and relax too.

sabs Banoffee pie - yum! The 4 day week thing sounds great as does the holiday.

iggy Hope the house gets moving soon - pardon the pun - and you're stll smiling.

Vjay Did the boys keep behaving? How's the studying going?

DH and DD2 just come downstairs so peace shattered. Love to everyone else and happy Sunday.

P.S. MLS Hope you're going to post that fab scan pic.

monkeybumsmum · 25/04/2010 11:29

Neeko Sending you a hug for today - it's not 'nothing' at all, whoever we lose we still miss them Glad you're getting some sleep, it makes a huge difference doesn't it!

Mermaid I now have a lovely image of you walking round a building site wearing a delightful yellow hat It's good to have something else to concentrate on though.

Blue Hope this morning has gone wonderfully and you're now enjoying showing your boy off to all the rellies. What a lovely day for a christening

Am doing okay this morning. Spending time with ds is just the best medicine, and am being forced to do stuff as have three work friends coming to visit later. Have even been singing along to Don't Stop Believing as it's just such a feel good song! Dreadful singing though
I hope you are all having lovely weekends whatever you're doing xxx

cupcakefairy · 25/04/2010 11:52

Girls you've all been making me laugh so much; I love that despite all the sadness on here we still laugh too
mermaid I especially loved the cat bum face clutching paint charts image

monkey so so glad you have a RL friend to talk to as well that really does help. And yes, singing at the top of your voice definitely helps too! My crazy sister believes that singing opera loudly in fake italian instantly cheers anyone up haha.

sabs stop apologising re scans! You have enough to think about. Love the image of the creche people having to make you leave glad it went ok leaving S though.

4ever YAY for Miss Normal Baby-4ever so lovely to read you being more upbeat you really deserve it. Can't believe how close we are now and you too LBM, we'll have to start a sweepstake soon. Dh is starting one on me at his work

Hi neeko! Yay to sleep! Well done H.

We did buy looooads of stuff yesterday but would you believe are still going out today. Carseat is the absolute last thing we need! Woke up with horrible cramps, backache and breathlessness a few times last night I think things may be getting into gear!

Neeko · 25/04/2010 12:10

Hi Monkey Glad you're having an up day. Enjoy spending time with your work friends.

Cupcake More shopping? I'm quite excited at the thought of a sweepstake that's not about me! Off to find the list for your due date so i can start.

Neeko · 25/04/2010 12:14

VJay · 25/04/2010 14:19

Hiya, I feel all sporty watching the marathon, well that's my exercise for the day done

monkey you carry on singing, that's what glee is all about, it make us sing , glad you like it and enjoy the dvd's.

As for mermaid not liking glee, tut tut

4ever so glad the heart scan was NORMAL, could be a god middle name

sabs just call yourself sabs, I can't think of anything else. As for teeth, I have all mine thanks for asking, but I'm sure you meant Ajay , he has none yet, but has been wailing away tiday and chewing on evrything, so I thing they're on there way, I even had to give him some calpol this morning. DS1 was 8 months when his 1st lot came through. As for hair loss, mine started coming out at about 3 months too and still is, I have a very short fringe around my hairline where it's starting to grow back. I didn't notice it with ds1, but loads has fallen out this time.

neeko I'm raising a glass to your lovely Gran .
The studying is going well thanks, I've managed to get half of the course done, I completed another TMA last week that's due in in June, so quite pleased, but I'm going to try and keep up the pace, bloody hard though!

Right need to lie down after watching all the running , and blue hope you are having a fabulous day, and not worrying about nipple flashing.

VJay · 25/04/2010 14:23

The triple sweepstake

Neeko 15/05 for cupcake

Vjay 25/05 for cupcake, 25/05 for LBM, 25/05 for 4ever

I have no imagination

OP posts:
4everhopeful · 25/04/2010 14:48

Ooh u do make me laugh Vjay! ...That was a funny post! Loving the fact your exercise for the day is done! .....Also loving the triple sweepstake dates! That is DH & my 5th anniversary of getting together! Was a teensy bit of LBM due date (also same as BIL GF) cos DH lucky no is 5, this is our 5th preg, & we got together on the 25/5/5! (Im not OCD honest!)

4everhopeful · 25/04/2010 15:40

Just added pics of baby stuff and another bump pic! (few weeks back though, am even bigger now!)

VJay · 25/04/2010 15:49

Oh 4ever your bump is impressive, and the baby stuff looks fab, all pink and cute

OP posts:
BlueMoon1981 · 25/04/2010 18:53

omg 4ever that is some bump, hard to believe thats a real live little person in there, pregnancy is magic isnt it

vjay you've been making me giggle too, you are very amusing! sorry but i tried to watch some glee today and wasnt very impressed, thought id better test it out after everyone was talking about it!

blue hope you've all had a lovely lovely day, we had beautiful weather hope it was nice for you too and who cares if you flash a nipple, we've all got them, i'd show mine to the world if i had a baby...

neeko you can of course remember your gran on here, maybe she will be looking after our lost los up there, its a happy thought

sabs huge post well done! i can never manage ones that mahoosive (lol a phrase from my youth ) so you are doing well with a dd in tow too! i think you should change your name to supersabs

barbie glad you got most of your piccies back, and lucky you had emailed them to so many people. my lovely df is an IT freak so he does back up stuff, but at least it happened early on and not after a year when you would have lost loads more. i'm missing the barbie story of the day, you must a few stored up to tell us?

monkey and louey hope you are both doing ok and looking after yourselves, now the warmer weather is coming you have double the excuse for ice cream not that i need any excuse at all but its good to justify it to myself sometimes

cupcake 4ever and lbm wow how time flies, though probably not for you, cant believe you get to meet your los very soon and iggy you cant be too far behind?

lovely mermaid i am still holding out hope for you, may the days go by quickly so you know one way or the other, big hug x

wheres curly gone

mls is it time to join the big panters yet?

i know i've missed people out, big waves and hugs to everyone xx

thank you for the wedding talk, keeping me smiling even though we can't plan much yet til we have saved up enough for a deposit on the place we want...

cd 28

cupcakefairy · 25/04/2010 21:22

Wow 4ever your lo is one lucky little girl! She has so much stuff already!! Ours is positively deprived compared to that only has a measly few vests and sleepsuits, I expect it will tell me how hard done by it was once it's a teenager
Lovely bump too, mine is about the same size. I told dh earlier I went to bed every night now thinking 'this could be the night' and his face was this- he says he's desperate to meet lo but don't think he's really all that ready!!

Yay for the sweepstake would be so cool if we all went the same day... annie and buddha did, gracie and curly did so we have to go one better and make it a triple whammy

moon that was a pretty mahoosive post by my standards nice work! And yay, join my non-lovers-of-Glee club, haha

barbie1 · 26/04/2010 07:00

Phew, Devon is finally asleep so i can post again.....

Hard few days because of fever due to jabs, we had one spaced out baby which was almost as worrying as one screaming baby (she seemed obsessed with her hands ) and then she couldnt sleep due to fever which then meant she was over tired and grumpy....which meant i was too.

I didnt go into the room when the jabs were taking place, dh did. I did however hear her and ended up sobbing in the waiting room while people were walking past looking like this at me. I think dh was amazed how i knew it was her cry, even though about 6 babies were all crying at the same time! Least its over and done with now for a few months...oh and the little porker is now 9lb 12oz, going from the 5th percentile to the 25th, so im doing something right at least

mermaid i have text you a few times but im not sure i have the right number? I have been thinking about you but couldnt get onto post. The reason i said wait til 8 weeks was because the same thing happened to me at 6 plus 2...the scan i had showed nothing sugnificant (sp?) in the words of my doctor ...no fetol pole etc etc just an empty sac. I went back a week and 3 days later and had my good scan. Im still crossing everything for you and hoping that the same thing is going to happen for you. I know the wait is the worst part, so don that hard hat and keep yourself as busy as you can....

cupcake im thinking boy for you my lovely....on my growth scan something was slightly bigger than it should be, cant for the life of me think what is was now though Im sure everything is going to be fine...sometimes i think for all the technology we have out there now, sometimes its better not having it...less worry thats for sure!

moon cd 28? Im not sure i have any stories this time??? i have been trying to sleep as much as i can (which is never) oh oh oh...ha ha tell a lie...i have one I went out for lunch at a very trendy cafe, full of cool, good looking types...theres me trying to be a yummy mummy in a long flowing maxi dress (boob tube style top but with a tie strap) i enter the garden area, trip on a arty style placed rock the pram launches off towards the diners and i stand on bottom of dress (far too long since in only 5'3!) didnt realise so carried on walking which pulled my dress down exposing one (.)(.)

Oh the shame....i could just see everyone going needless to say i sat inside where there were no witnesses to my shocking behaviour!

4ever loving the bump pics and the nursery...im sure she has more clothes then Devon already! Glad you had a good scan, i really do hope you enjoying (as much as you can) the last few weeks knowing that everything is good with her....Its a shame that after a mc we will never enjoy a pregnancy like some women seem to do

neeko i laughed so much at you dd saying get your boobies out! I hope H is giving you time for your nipples to recover in between feeds...I finally have time where my boobs are inside a bra and not a mouth
Glad you felt you could remember your gran on here....

mls so happy that your scan was a good one...

monkey i didnt know what glee was either its now being shown on showtime over here....however im not going to watch it...looks a bit like high school musical...yuk! You sound very positive and im glad you have lots of support both here and in rl...not to mention your gorgeous ds.

vjay i always used to watch the marathon while sat eating a huge fry up, nursing a hangover...never did understand why someone would get up at 6am to fight the london traffic just to run for miles ...Dh cousin did it yesterday in 4 hours...felt guilty at my lack of excersie since giving birth, so went to the gym (but only to join up again) no idea when im going to have the time to go...but its the thought that counts right????

blue how did yesterday go????

jools glad you are enjoying your holiday...

Oh heck...My boobs are in demand, will try to get back and finish posting later...

MummyLovesSadie · 26/04/2010 07:29

Hi ladies, I thought I'd have more time to post before going to Scotland so it's just a quickie from me.

Mermaid thinking of you loads, no cramps or bleeding is a very good thing indeed.

4ever I hope she gets a chance to wear all of those clothes !

Barbie I feel for you just reading your story! Perhaps your dd is at the stage now where she has noticed she has hands & wants to stare at them all the time?

Vjay lol at you doing your exercise by watching the Marathon! That's about the extent of my physical activity at the moment too .

Blue looking forward to seeing pics of yesterday.

Monkey hang on in there lovely lady.

Cupcake I'm definitely predicting boy for you - little baby Jude, aaaaahhhhh!

Moon no backache yet? Can I get a bit excited?

Finally Neeko what can I say except for eeeeeeeeeek! We are finally meeting up on Wednesday & we are both going to be nervous & giggly! I'll bring my camera so I can post some pics on my profile.

Sorry to miss loads of you out but I really have to get ready now. We are staying in York today & then on up to Scotland tomorrow. I promise I'll join the big pantsers when I get back.

barbie1 · 26/04/2010 08:45

@ mls meeting neeko.... i loved meeting mm and i hope one day i will meet more of you, safe journey mls

Neeko · 26/04/2010 08:54

Morning Barbie Still sniggering at your boob story

barbie1 · 26/04/2010 09:00
Blush
iggypiggy · 26/04/2010 09:30

I have news - I bought the first thing for my baby - v. excited about that... but it appears to have triggered a spendathon - as I immediately came home and bought a whole lot more online...

barbie at your boob story

mls & neeko excting meet up!! Think you should take a pic of the two of you together

moon is 12 weeks to go for me - which is both far away and scarily close at the same time... So have you started looking at wedding dresses yet? and CD 28?

mermaid hope you ok?

right - back later - gotta work!

Neeko · 26/04/2010 09:40

Barbie you should write a book "Diary of a wannabe Yummy Mummy!" You could make a fortune

4ever Lovely pics. DH and I have decided to give up chocolate for a month starting on the 1st as the addiction is getting out of control, so I'm hoping that'll help with the weight loss.

Vjay Hope you've got Sky sports on for your exercise today! Well done on the studying. My exam marking starts again in the middle of next month and I'm already worrying about how I'll manage, so I'm taking inspiration from you.

Moon I'm really enjoying all the wedding talk and can't wait to hear your plans. My brain's too frazzled to contribute anything helpful at the mo.

Thanks for your lovely comments re my Gran. My world's a duller place without her but I do believe she is running around after my lost lo.

Quite nervous bout meeting MLS in real life.

Neeko · 26/04/2010 09:42

Morning Iggy and yay to spending! Bet the 12 weeks fly past. When are you stopping work?

CurlyBigPants · 26/04/2010 10:02

iggy lol at you opening the shopping floodgates. I was the same, waited forever to buy one thing then went crazy

the little one is finally down for a nap so I'm going to try and catch up on laundry. Just wanted to come on and say a quick hello (thanks moon for missing me ) and send big hugs to monkey and mermaid and also neeko cos I still miss my gran too and she died a long time ago.

monkey you are wonderful. Small steps hon x

mermaid thinking of you lots too. Are you getting another scan? How are you doing my lovely? x

4ever m&s have some good "count on us" options for deserts. Sounds like your levels aren't too bad, well done you. They thought I had gd as well and I felt so guilty about all the choc I had been eating. Just wanted to say that you are doing great and try not to worry about size of baby. The estimates are skewed towards identifiying correct weight for smaller babies. They thought from my many scans that curlygirl would be mahoosive and she was just over 8 lbs!

for lack of bd jools but for being able to go crazy with the gin on your trip. Have fun lovely you deserve it.

cupcake your sister sounds as lovely as you

I LOVE glee vj. Can't get enough of it but babybrain has no idea what day it is on so keep missing episodes!

sorry for once again a lack of personals to everyone. There is so much I want to say to you all and I still have a half written post from 10 days ago that will be well out of date now! Still struggling with the colic but infacol is helping (thanks boobybarbie ) and the more sleep she gets during the day, the better she is in the evening. I'm using babywhisperer methods (check out my googling ability at 4am ) to get her to sleep on her own instead of snuggling her to sleep - it's slow going!!

Right ms curlywurly is off to dust off the cheerleading outfit in case moon has news for us in the next few days

sabs you are such a fit burd!!! and I am jealous of your massive post

mls very relieved for you at what sounds like positive results. Have you told sadie the news yet?

big waves to annie buddha mm louey thePFJ QA baking and all the rest of you lovelies xxx

iggypiggy · 26/04/2010 10:13

neeko on 18th June - cos am using up some holiday before the official mat leave start date of 5th July

curly I was paid on Friday - which means I am now in dangerous situation of having money to spend and allowing myself to buy stuff Glad the infacol is helping and hope she manages lots more sleep

Neeko · 26/04/2010 10:16

Thanks Curly Very interested in the babywhisperer. Details please. happy washing. I'm on the 2nd load and I'm now going to log off so I can do some of the other housework that I keep moaning never gets done!

monkeybumsmum · 26/04/2010 10:24

Just a very quick hello and good morning from me
Hope everyone's okay today!

Barbie You did make me giggle at the image of your boobies popping out! Neeko's right, you should deffo write a book, it'd be hilarious!

Curly Glad things are going better with sleeping - good luck with getting her to sleep on her own!

Iggy Lovely to hear you're buying stuff, it's a lovely feeling starting to collect everything together

I've just popped out to help dh to cut some wood (he doesn't work on Mondays) and a bloody wasp's just stung me on the wrist Ow! Dh sucked the poison out straight away so hopefully I won't start going blue or anything, but it hurts!
Ooh, that reminds me of the time dh got a bee up his shorts legs at a service station in France - it stung him right at the top of his thigh and he insisted that in full view of everyone else in the car park that I suck out the poison. Goodness knows what people thought we were doing Think my dh watches too many Ray Mears survival programs...

Better go and grab some breakfast xxx
