We just pulled into "Other Subjects" station. Please have your tickets ready for inspection.

Just to bck up wot others hav sed

monitors essential i still use mine and dd is 23 months

scratch mits also really needed. But my dd also wud neva keep them on so as bebe sed try gettin sum attached to grows

i much prefered bath to bath support so its pro individual taste
hmm my mum just rang so ive lost my train of though

Sorry to hear you've had a crap few days whywait. Good luck today. I think it's still really early to be able to see heartbeat before 6weeks so they may ask you to go back again in a week or two. Hope it all goes well though and the flicker is there.

Back to work today. Gah.

Yesterday my oh came in the kitchen while I was cooking and lifted up my top, stood there a minute and then said yep you've had a growth spurt :) bless him. Plus I had some more movement going on while sat on the settee. :) got some plain White t-shirts for work, but not maternity ones they are all quite see through, so bought some a few sizes too big! See how long they last.

Whywait. Thats great news made up.everything is fine :)

Wahoo fab news why wait

they never found my ovaries on my 12 week scan despite looking!

Jbells pleased to hear your news too

Yay WW!! :)

Def check with hospital re reusables then, all of the options round here said it had to be disposables as facilities for cleaning cloth nappies etc would not be provided. Plus if you are in hospital for a few days having a load of stinky nappies hanging around isn't practical or hygenic if there is no where to put them, even for a day until your OH can take them away!

JBells - I could never get to grips with holding a wriggly baby in the bath (she didn't like being laid down) and having hands free to wash her! But my DD is particularly awkward! I also still use my monitor, DD will be 3 in August!

Excellent news WW :) It's so good to know. X

Ahh great news WW.

WW great news, sorry I missed it all yesterday. Very relieved to hear that all is well - and how lovely that you got a first look at your baby!

Strawberry - are you ok? x

WW - how exciting, it's so nice to be able to tell people! :)

Really scared bout the talk again! Gonna try really hard to do it this weekend!

Hi all, yes everything was fine with my scan - dates as expected, baby moving around and also 'waved' at OH (or so he said!)

Sorry for not posting, am on a course/congress thing and really busy. We are looking forward to telling family this Mothers day though!

Great news Ww! I did a sneaky scan at work when I was 6 weeks and also saw a little heartbeat! Our scanner is not as good as the hospital ones though.

Get well soon Quod and maybe this work thing happened for a reason? Maybe the next project will be career defining and lead you in totally new directions?Try to stay positive but I know that is SO not easy (hug)

Great essentials lists and good to hear different opinions. I have so far only got the free stuff they give you at the scan- nappy, wipes, miniature sudocrem (and strangely ovaltine?) I think I will leave it until as late as poss to get everything although I am starting to window shop!

Sorry if I worried you bebe, hope your DH is ok. Xx

Great news ww!

Just been for my 20 week scan and all was fine,we are so relieved and happy.
Oh and it's a boy , I've been convinced it would be all along !

Ah fab news steawberry and wyorks. U can join the buying blue club with me. I hope u have better sucess with boys names than we hav tho. We still.cant agree but given that we cant agree on anythin at yhe moment its hardly surprosing lol

Ooh pram shopping that will b fun whywait looking for a single pram is so much nicer than the task of trying to find a decent double

we did write a short lust which was the list i gave u guys to c your thoughts but tjats as far as we got cos we hav different favourites he wants luca which i dont really like and a i like jackson best which he doesnt really like. I said as a compromise i wudnt mind lucas but hes not compromising

Hi everyone! Great news on the scans wyorks and whywait

And thanks for the lists of things to buy, they're really useful. The only things I have so far are a moby wrap sling, a bunch of clothes, and a free changing bag (join the Boots parenting club - you have to buy a pack of nappies but the bag is then free).

DH and I have decided to take an impromptu holiday next week, to France :) I'm looking forward to a break as been quite tired at work this week.

Hope everyone else is well!

I'm freaking out!!! I don't think I can do it! Having heard all of what DH has going on at work & what has happened today I just don't think I can do it! It's just never going to happen & I don't want to put myself through all the stress & angst of the inevitable tears & argument. (Not to mention the month of anxiety dreams & restless nights that will follow.) I know I'm a chicken, but I just can't do it, I just don't feel strong enough.

I don't want to bring everyone down with all the exciting scans & things going on, but I need to let this out!

Just don't know what to do, I feel like I'm going slowly mad! :(

Good news on scans WYorks and strawberry (strawberry I'm intrigued...did you do a sneaky ultrasound on yourself at work?! Brilliant!)

Bebe, sorry you're feeling like that. I'm not sure I know what to say, apart from that if you don't feel like now is the time to bring up that discussion, you don't have to. I'd challenge the thought that 'it's never going to happen', but I don't think it's necessarily being chicken of you not to bring it up now - if it seems like it's not the right time for that talk, then maybe it's not the right time? It's hard when you seem to be in 'deadlock' over something, isn't it? What would make you feel like it was a better time to discuss it?

Have just got home from my hellish week being ill far from home on a work trip absorbing more and more bad news (it just kept coming! About 4 applications turned down in as many days!) to find that DP, who's away all weekend, has before he left, cleaned and tidied the whole flat, left vases of flowers in each room, a fridge full of healthy food and a loaf of homemade bread on the side. I just burst into tears, he's so sweet and I feel so incredibly lucky in that respect despite work stuff being abysmal. It's put it all in perspective somewhat.

Quislings that's so lovely of him, it can make you feel so much better just being looked after a bit like that. Mmmm the bread sounds yummy!

Bebe you poor thing I'm sorry things aren't getting any better for your DH. More than anything I want you to be able to join in the ttc, you have been waiting so so long.

Jbells this is such a bad situation to have to deal with so late in your pregnancy. Perhaps you both just need a bit of space. Can't believe he's insisting on Luca and won't compromise with Lucas! They are virtually the same name!

Great news about all the scans, very pleased to hear that there's a little boy in your tum WYorks. Wish I had a little bump for scanning too! Strawberry I am glad everything is looking good!

Thought it was all going to be ok when he got home, he was positive & had ahd some good news. Then he got an email (at 4.55pm on a Friday...bastards) that has thrown a complete spanner in the works! And then he choses to tell me that the gas company are threatening legal action because he hasn't paid the gas bill & can't afford to pay the gas bill, and he hadn't even told me it was outstanding til earlier this week let alone gone this far when something could have been done about it if he had told me weeks ago! I'm now trying desperately to do some work for him to help out but it's been years since I did the sort of stuff I'm doing & I'm finding it really tricky & it's making me more anxious. Hardly slept & had awful dreams when I did manage to drift off! :(

Oh & DH told me last night that 'DD' had forgotten all about Mother's day so could I take her (& him) to Tesco 2moro!

Sorry to be me me me. Will try & snap out of it & stop wallowing!

Quislings? Bloody iPhone! Quodlibet of course!

Bebe sorry things are not going as you had hoped, I wish I knew what to suggest. We've kind of run out of ideas with this one. I guess you just do what I'm doing at the moment, pull your head down for a couple of months and come back to it later. I know the clock's ticking against us but what can we do?

My friend seems to have got over all the trauma of the birth, she is hopelessly in love with her baby and demanding that I have one immediately! We're probably going to go for a visit next weekend, so maybe spending a bit of time with a tiny newborn and his dad will have the desired effect on DH!

Have horrendous pain in my jaw and around my wisdom tooth. Scoffing antibiotics and painkillers from the dentist but neither seems to have any effect. On the plus side I have effortlessly lost loads of weight!

WW/AC thanks for being so nice! :) DHs work is his life, he is so invested in it (as much of the company is now in his name) it just completely takes over everything. When things are going well, it's amazing & has the potential to set us up for life. Just at the moment the state of the economy has taken its toll! Re gas bill, he has asked to do a payment plan, just waiting to hear if they will 'do a deal' (all to do with specific people in specific departments having to agree to it & they of course are office hours Mon-Fri ) It's not extortionate, just it's our final bill as we are trying to switch & they took to fricking long to sort it out & now it's all in a mess!

Have had quite a nice day today, DD has 'bought' me some lovely pink tulips for Mothers day (not something that can easily be hidden so I have had them early :o) and been to PIL, so hoping that DH is a bit more chilled after talking through work stuff with his dad!

WW - all exciting every 'landmark' date you get too isn't it?! :)

AC - That sounds horrid, poor you, tooth ache is horrendous!

Quod - Glad you are home and feeling better, how lovely of your OH to do that for you! :)

Squirrel - of impromptu holiday!
