pregnant in aberdeen

[Sillyness]

hi, i'm moving to aberdeen in august and am 8weeks pregnant. anyone else about who is preggers too?

Lol at your weepy stage Karen! Mine started at about 5wks in my last pregnancy and hasn't worn off since, and DD will be 2 next month!

Ha ha.

I spoke to my mum today. She is fine to pick Dan up from work, so Thursday would be better than Sat for me if that is good with everyone. Is it sad that I am really excited

Medee, shall we say 5.30 and then if you get held up a bit we will be there anyway. Does that suit everyone? Was it going to be Star Bucks.... Where is that. Ha ha. Still just finding my way round.

LNT - yeah my weepy stage started about 5 weeks too along with the all day everyday nausea and puking, but that seems to have gone now. Touch wood.....

Karen

excellent. Union Square is probably a good idea as it is easy for both parking and public transport. Starbucks is at the end of hte first floor.

So are we saying 5.30pm on Thurs 5th August at Starbucks in Union Square? Yay!! (I'm excited too Karen, so we can be sad together! )

Hope you're doing okay today silly and have had no more bleeding.

Hi to medee and Ineed!

starbucks, union square, thursday 5th, 5:30 onwards...lovely!

Ineed, you'd better be there! 'am i invited?' please! get thee to starbucks girl!

Oh and take your baby too Ineed!

I'll be there with baby Samuel
You'll know me I have a bright orange Bugaboo.

fantastic! whats a bugaboo?

oh, looked it up, very nice!

Yes that was my dads contribution to my 3rd born we were in Mothercare for something totally unrelated to prams but he is a man who loves gadgets and an engineer so fell in love with all the fancy things it does

Excellent, glad it has all come together. How will we know each other? (although the orange Bugaboo will help) Do some of you have bumps yet?

yep can't miss me.
Where is everyone coming from?
I'll have to get a taxi bus into town but it only takes minutes, if it's a nice day i'll walk although that is a reasonable hike I quite enjoy it when I don't have dd and ds1 with me.

I wondered about how we would know each other I have visions of us all coming in and this bunch of women all sitting at single eats staring around looking for each other.

work is near the airport, but I live close to town.

I was wondering that too medee. We just have to hope that you get there first Ineed and that no-one else with an orange Bugaboo turns up that day! I have a pic of myself on my profile, but it's from my wedding day, so shouldn't be used to gain an accurate portrayal of how I look in RL!

How about we all wear pink baseball caps?!

I've got a bit of a bump already! I look now, how I looked last time at about 16/17wks. It's a bit of a pain as I don't normally wear loose fitting clothes so I feel it's quite obvious, but to change my whole wardrobe at the moment would be just as obvious, so I just have to pretend to myself that no-one notices!

And just you wait a month or so silly, you'll be able to reel off a list of buggy brands like you wouldn't believe!

I'll probably drive in and park at Union Square as I live near Inverurie. I'm off work that week so will probably come in a bit earlier and have a rake around the shops.

I can hear us all now, we'll sound like something out of a bad spy movie.

"Are you a lazy slattern?"

"Yes I am would you be a littleNutTree? Or possible sillyness?"

Ha ha. I vote Ineed and Samuel get there first and we congregate round the bugaboo. I will be 21 weeks by then and def have a bump. No matter what the weather I will prob have my sunglasses on my head. Long story, but used to live in NZ and got sooooo used to needing them even in Winter, that I tend to keep them with me.

I will probably end up being ridiculously early becuase I'll be too nervous to go in late and have to figure out who everyone is

can't wait!

2weeks today i move! (well, i'll arrive 2 weeks tomorrow cos i'm not doing 9hours driving in 1 day!)

can't wait to meet you all!
(i'm looking out for orange buggy!)

I remember when I moved back to Aberdeen last year I was not so much excited with 2 weeks to go as tearing my hair out with the stress of it all so you are doing better than me.

better not change my mind and take a sling now then hahaha.
Nah definitely taking pram cause i'm going for a quick trip around the shops first and might try things on.

what stress? i an't lift anything! husband is packing us, van men are moving us...i'm doing nothing until the actual drive!

hello, had my booking in appointment today, all fine. I asked my midwife about the NCT classes (she was talking about the NHS ones at the time) and she said they were complementary to each other, gave a good balance, so a definite steer that they were a good thing to do.

Worth going on the website and putting your name down early with NTC as my baby nit due til Dec and the lady I emailed from NTC basically said I had left it too late and it was first come first served. Still space for Jan and feb births but no Dec ones.

Thanks Karen - I actually sent my enquiry off for the March-due-date classes just after my post above.

Please can I join your thread? I moved to Aberdeen in March and I still don't know anybody I am a London girl originally but moved from Barnsley. I am 18 weeks pregnant. Would be good to get to know you!
