Sorry for crap title, my first time

Roundup of today:

shiney, hope you and J have a wonderful weekend together.

Queen, yuck. I hated nearly every minute of my pregnancy. Seriously, if you search my name from about Jan-Aug 2009, it will all be me moaning about how much it sucks. Sympathy for you from another hyperemesis sufferer.

DIB, my stomach leapt a bit reading about your DS, how scary! Glad he seems to be ok.

Alice, your DS is very curled up in there and you've got a ways to go (sorry!) so wouldn't worry about bump size at all.

VT, I think you should prepare for the camping by ceasing all ironing now

BOF, what the hospital appt for? You ok? Hope you feel better!

ABF, hello and welcome! I also think of Carry On films when I see ding dong, DH has forced me to watch them as part of my education on what it means to be British

DI, I am jealous. Tell me next time it is 'dress like a pirate day'.

SAF, my mom believed in benign neglect and got two very self-reliant and capable children. I don't go for doorstop selling of anything, I have a very comprehensive sign that seems to be keeping people away and stuff out of the letterbox.

bitter, I'm sorry, but at your DS being a bottom-flasher!

GetOrf, so giving up diet coke makes you lose weight? Might have to try that one!

bella, glad the cake situation was sorted. I am jealous, I want ducks to come to my house. We just have the neighbourhood cat who leaves us dead stuff [boak]

Goober, yay for another pound off!

korma, flylady is the way forward.

Sazz, that doesn't sound too bad, 4lbs can come off in two weeks. Good job on all the exercise.

Jet, hello! You just reminded me to check my BMI, and I have JUST graduated from 'Morbidly Obese' to merely 'Obese'! Hooray!

Mitts, at least she is your XMIL

hells, good luck with the nits

ScreaminEagle, I'm another who joined late (though it's been nearly 6 months now!).

Norma, hope your DS's finger is ok!

Defluff, at 'yo homies' I feel 12 again.

Went to pick up DS at nursery today and was alerted to the possibility he may be developing chicken pox!! ARrggggghhhhhhhhhhhh I really really hope not, I've only been back at work a week!

My luck is seriously shit. On the positive side the nursery worker thought if he had it the spots would be showing up faster instead of the very gradual increase over the day. So either he doesn't have it and has some weird other rash thing, or he has a mild case, or it will be turning up with a vengence tomorrow.

Either way, it is wine o'clock, DH is going to Spar now to fetch some in.

I hope you bought the blue stuff bitter?

MrsW - so pleased to have you back, have missed you

Fleecy · 30/04/2010 21:01

Ah! Okay then - I went to my threads i'm on and became confused. It doesn't take much...

Fuschia shoes and brown dress sounds good Sazz. Especially R&B

DS has gone into a big bed tonight so I'm not sure whether we'll get sleep or not! He napped in the bed after lunch happily enough, then our nanny got him up and went to run a bath and he went back and climbed in the bed again! So I'm hopeful it won't be too bad a transition. DD was fine, fingers crossed DS will be too.

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 30/04/2010 21:01

Cheers sazz, I don't know what to do with him.

I bet Derren could fix him...

Fleecy · 30/04/2010 21:02

SaF is the walrus vomit bit over with?

BitterAndTwistedChoreDodger · 30/04/2010 21:03

What's the blue stuff?

I hope it isn't another thing I shouldn't google

YanknCock · 30/04/2010 21:03

ok I think pic of dress is on profile now!

SAF, yes, my squirrel drama made it into the talk roundup...I felt I'd arrived on MN

YanknCock · 30/04/2010 21:05

bella, I'm going to assume you meant to put a 'not' in front of 'blighted with the pox!

I am having wine, expect much hilarity and loopiness in about half an hour.

Sazz, no worries. Pink shoes you say? and Lizzy says turquoise? I am baffled, this fashion stuff makes me

yes, I did mean to put a not in there.. > tis the gin you know...

bitter - Bombay Sapphire, lots of ice and a slice with a splash of diet tonic is the way to go.

QueenofDreams · 30/04/2010 21:16

yank congratulations.
I too am obese.
I need some advice ladies. It seems that this time round I can keep on top of the nausea by the classic 'little and often' eating. Now I don't want to be five stone heavier in 8 months time, so I need some suggestions of light, healthy foods that will be gentle on a queasy stomach. I also need to make sure I get the right balance so I don't end up malnourished or something.

traceybath · 30/04/2010 21:17

Yank - yeap turquoise or teal or bright pink would all look lovely.

bellavita · 30/04/2010 21:18

Yes Saff?

Yank, dress is lovely. Either colour shoes would look nice. I have some coffee coloured patent wedges from M&S that would like with it too.

YanknCock · 30/04/2010 21:22

Queen, I hope someone else has some advice. I was absolutely craptastic at healthy eating during my pregnancy. I'm not sure I saw a vegetable for most of it. Couldn't stomach meat for the first half either, lived on peanut butter on white bread, Coke, McDonalds french fries and vanilla shakes, and American macaroni and cheese. It's quite telling that I only gained two stone--not much stayed down!

Don't be too hard on yourself, just take your multivitamin and know the baby will leech out what it needs from you no matter what you eat!
