Do y` ever wonder what it would be like to give birth on the shag pile?

[triplets]

Do y`?

Its scary isn't it, sending them off to school - I'm apprehensive and excited at the same time, I think they'll love it, but not sure I will! I think that must be the teacher in me I'm so glad I've managed to re-negotiate my hours so I can take them and pick them up most days

yes dingdong I am excited too but then not mad us mums aren't we

momma - I know what you mean - I also find 'love' every now and again with ds1 too

Evening ladies. Just checking in again so you know I still exist. will try to catch up tomorrow and be a more active participant in these threads.
night night

Just come home from a lovely antenatal class. It's not one of my favourite sessions, we talk about what happens when things don't go according to plan. They are such a lovely group though and they make me smile.

Need to complete my French tomorrow so if you see me here shout at me!!!!!!!!!!

In french! lol

Hi everyone,
How is everyone this evening? Frumpy hope you are better, Shabs get Derk to rub your chest with Vic, Vic wont mind Momma the Daily Mail has two articles today on cod liver oil, it is very interesting as I actually have taken high strength cod liver oil and a calcium supplement for over 10 years when I was told I was going through an early menopause! So would my symptems do you think be twice as bad if I hadnt? I also have taken glucosamine with chondroitin for two years. Girls can I ask for you all to have everything crossed for us on Frid, Dh got a call from the hospital today, the consultant wants to see him this Frid at 10.50am , he has both test results in. I have been in panic mode since lunchtime, very scared that our lives may be about to change again.

Nice to know you must all be tucked up in your beds, sweet dreams to all xx

Don't panic trips! Let's just wait and see what the doc says okay? I know it's easier said than done... but let's just wait.

Here... hold my hand... squeeze as tight as you want to and you don't have to let go before you talk to the doctor...okay?

Thank you for your wise words, I am just trying to keep busy, but my wrists are aching so much atm and that is making me cross! Completely blitzed my bedroom late yesterday, sil coming to stay Sat night, could realy do without it! H just gone off now with the car, will have to try and get lift home from school today, more money! Message for you Pixi, not much longer now, do rest at every possible moment you can, wish I was nearer to help, I`d be there like a shot. Look after yourself and lots and lots of hugs and love xxx

Shabby, you are awful quiet, hope you are feeling better, you really must stop hugging everyone! xx

Morning ladies.

Trips - I am coughing like a rusty old Morris Minor (nothing to do with the fact that I smoke about 6 cigs a day!!) Im getting on my own nerves with it

Triplets, have everything crossed for you for Friday. On a positive note maybe the fact that they didn't say come straight in is good news? I'm hoping so anyway. I'm sure someone will keep me updated if I can't get online as you'll barely be out of my thoughts.

Momma - stop worrying about me. I'm a big girl in most ways and I'll be all right. See I'm in a better frame of mind already! Honestly whatever happens, happens and I'm at the point now where I'm not stressing over it all.

Have decided to take all the advice on help and accepting all offers. At the weekend Momma took DS1 and DD1 out for a play and I'm allowing one of the school mum's to bring DS1 home a few times this week. Goes against every gut instinct in my body I have to say. I've never let anyone other than my mum/dad/aunt look after any of them before, but maybe I need to trust some people and let go a little bit. Doubt all the curtain twitching is doing my blood pressure much good though lol!

This morning was a bit awful. Got to the school half an hour early (left early so my mum could push buggy up hill before rushing off to work) with DS1 crying because his trousers were wet from the pouring rain, DTs screaming because they don't like being in buggy/hate rain cover) and I was soaked through. After dropping him off I had to trot round to the packed post office (10mins further away) to send contract for house sale (so all being well London house should be sold tomorrow with provision to have our stuff moved out within two weeks). DTs screamed from the moment they went into buggy till we got home. DD1 was in a good mood and we walked along in the pouring rain singing our hearts out not caring who heard and I managed the whole time with a smile on my face ignoring the pitying looks.

Pixie you made me I remember days like that - both twins screaming at the top of their lungs in my massive silver cross twin pram. The same pram that I couldn't see over because I am vertically challenged. Oh yes and the amount of people who said 'oh love you've got your hands full'

AND having to bottom bump my way into shops and negotiate narrow aisles with the gigantic pram!!

Thinking of you Pixie

Actually if I'm honest Shabster it was thinking of you, Triplets, Charliemouse and the others that helped me. When I weighed up having a bad day to what you all go through on a daily basis it seems wrong to feel so sorry for myself.

Triplets, all being well Friday I'll be booking you a Devon ticket to keep you to your promise to come visit us. We'll all be fighting over you though so better plan to stay quite a while.

aww Pixie that is a lovley thing to say. I really appreciated your thoughts.

definitly wont hurt Momma - no calories in a virtual one either love! Like our toms chippy treat on a friday - no calories in them if you pinch one
