[minimammoth]

SLATTERNS Yoohoo bring those lists here now!

Hello lovely slatterns

Ali keeping my fingers (and legs!) crossed for you.

Mini i am always completely knackered after i have seen the chiro.

Had pre-op appointment this morning as now 41wks. Went very well and i am booked in for a cs on thursday morning. Really want to wait til thursday now as i can be organised and it all seems so calm and civilised. The MW i saw today was so nice and reassuring. Apparently i can be out within 24hrs too if all goes smoothly.

My best friend called to day and told me she is expecting and only I know, NO ONE else, I'm so pleased for her, and of course I am not allowed to tell anyone!!(sshhh)

And I went to visit my other friend who had the baby girl, OMG she was like a little doll just beautiful I think I had over a full hour of new baby cuddles & winding her, and her trying to latch on to my cheek [not broody at all]

see you all next week

He finishes around 4.30pm, so shouldn't be too much for GF, (who is deaf, and just had a minor op) plus going to see if my friend can take DD out for an hour in the afternoon to give dad's GF a break. They are only in their 40's btw, not old

Where is everybody?(Peers around echo-ie deserted thread). Hello o o
Oh well. Sits in rocking chair knitting.

I have still done nothing, had a nice nap this afternoon though :)

Yes mini, spotting has stopped certainly for the time being which is a relief! Am pondering whether to lie to my GP in the morning and say that it has continued so that I meet the criteria to be referred for a scan.

We are late with dinner tonight, oops.

Evening!

Mini, I was being busy.

Ali, good napping and glad the spotting has stopped. I don't know if it's worth fibbing as they may get too concerned iyswim? If you sound very worried they might send you anyway?

I am pooped! A good day. Only problem is the manure stench filling the air.

Wasting I am planning to lie. I'm desperate to know if everything is ok and it's another fortnight until I even book in with the midwife so it'll be 3 weeks or thereabouts until my nuchal scan.

Go for it then.

Morning

Ali i wouldn't lie, would just explain how anxious you are, but then i was lucky that DH could scan me

Have got loads to do today, but need to do it in the most efficient way possible, meaning i use as little energy as possible!

DONE
Get up
DD up
Have breakfast

TO DO
Put washload on
Clear up breakfast stuff
Empty tumble
Phone dad
Write list for town and list for waitrose
Drive into town and waitrose
Hang washing out if still dry out
Make Shepherds pie and treacle sponge for Dad and GF for tomorrow night

Will add to it later, DD is upset that her fairy wand is not actually making things disappear

Alice your daughter Aw. coming to terms with the real world is so hard
No list today, got a day with some colleagues and worky stuff. see ya later

Alice I tried that on Monday, GP couldn't do anything because of the criteria that the EPU have. Turns out I don't need to, I had the faintest of faint spots just before I went to bed last night so I can say with a clear conscience that I've had some spotting every day for the last week.

Bless DD and her wand

List atm just involves getting showered and dressed.

Good luck Ali i hope it is all fine

Right, must get plodding on with my list.....
