OK, you wanted to know baby dippy's names...

Phoebe Elisabeth Joan

Aren't they beautiful?

MaryBS · 01/05/2007 16:18

RL - praying that you get to that healing service. We had a healing service Sunday evening. I was involved in the laying on of hands again - spiritually very rewarding, but very draining also!

katzg · 01/05/2007 16:32

Phoebe is a fab name! my dd1 is called Phoebe!

bobsmum · 01/05/2007 16:33

Loving Phoebe - my niece is Phoebe and my dd is Elizabeth so I approve

MaryBS · 01/05/2007 16:35

Perhaps she'll be a Deacon when she grows up!

roseylea · 01/05/2007 17:37

Aaaaww Pheobe is a lovely name. Is Joan a family name I wonder?

DutchOma · 01/05/2007 19:53

My dh's grandma was Phoebe. She died before I could get to know her very well, but dh was very fond of her and so we both think Phoebe is a lovely name.

Klio · 01/05/2007 20:06

So pleased everything has gone well for CD, Phoebe is a lovely name.

Thanks for your prayers and messages of encouragement. I feel much stronger today and things are lookign up thank the Lord. Dh is much more positive. Went t church today and the reflection (too short to be called a sermon!!) was all about waiting for God rather than trying to rush about doing everything yourself. Really felt God speaking to me, it was wonderful.

harrisey · 01/05/2007 20:24

Wow! Fabulous news!!! Well done CD and all the many little dippies (and Mr D as well of course).
Love the name - bit weird as my MIL is Elizabeth Joan! But nice, very nice.

CONGRATULATIONS - 3 kids is great!!

CaptainCaveman · 01/05/2007 20:54

aww, a huge Christian prayer thread welcome to Phoebe. Absolutely pleased as punch for all the Dippies. Thank You God for this lo's safe arrival.

I think CD must secretly have known yesterday was the day - why else would she have done the new thread a day early.....

fannyannie · 01/05/2007 20:56

CC I was thinking the same thing (about CD starting the thread a day early)........well perhaps CD didn't know - but God did so prompted her to get it done so it was here and ready - when she wasn't

CaptainCaveman · 01/05/2007 20:58

Me thinks you are right FA!

I read your thread btw - what an awful woman to add to the end of your rotten morning. Grrrrrr. How you feeling now?

fannyannie · 01/05/2007 20:59

CC much better now mood wise - but the bruising under my right ribs/same place on my back due to baby positioning is really sore tonight .

Just about to go and tidy up the bit of bookcase I'd started to 'sort' then put my feet up......

CaptainCaveman · 01/05/2007 21:03

Is baby breech? I had awful rib pain under right ribs from 17 weeks...
Ds found to be breech at 27 weeks and at 37 weeks confirmed he wasn't going to move as cord wrapped around his neck was stopping him from turning. ouch. Ended up taking codeine (prescribed by obstetrician) as pain was awful.

Anyway, put your feet up!

fannyannie · 01/05/2007 21:11

He was breech about 6 weeks ago - but at my last appointment 2 weeks ago had turned - and I keep feeling 'limbs' sticking out around the top of my bump so I'm pretty sure he's still head down.

I had rib pain with both the other 2 but this started earlier with this pg - and I have the pain in the same place on my back.....seems to get worse when I've done lots - so perhaps that ironing wasn't such a good idea

MaryBS · 01/05/2007 22:42

Prayers for CD please - she's feeling down, as her ILs aren't being at all helpful and MrCD is having to do it all. I know she can count on you lot, and I know she knows it too. at the selfish (insert your own profanity to suit)

PandaG · 01/05/2007 22:44

Praying Mary. Oh CD, and Mr CD, asking that God wraps your entire family in his arms of love, and that if your P(IL) cannot offer practical support then friends and church family will. xx

ZipadiSuzy · 01/05/2007 22:53

CD - lovely lovely names for Baby Dippy - aw 'Phoebe' so cute, big big prayers for you all in Dippyland, and I hope il's can find it in themselves to help out a bit more, (if I lived closer I'd look after lo's with pleasure) chin up CD try not to worry, I realise it must be hard without much support. [[[[hugs]]]]

ZipadiSuzy · 01/05/2007 22:58

Just got home from work, the day didn't get much better, went to pre-school playgroup this afternoon, and DS2 bumped into a little girl on his scooter (1 of identical girl triplets) she went flying and landed on her face, she had such a nasty bump on her face and a bloody nose, I felt awful! then when I got home the door handle fell of the porch door, so couldn't even get in the house to get ready for work, was 20 minutes late! and made a hash of things at work tonite, hope tomorrow goes better, obviously a sludge day today!

ZipadiSuzy · 01/05/2007 23:00

Roseylea - Did you get to your healing service?

Notquitegrownup · 02/05/2007 10:40

Good morning all.

Klio - lovely to hear from you and to hear an answer to prayers. Continuing to pray for you and your dh.

Prayers for CD and her family. Hmmmmmm.

Well, I've officially changed the meetup date to the 14th July - link here if anyone else would like to sign up. NSFN - would you like me to see if anyone at church could offer you guys accommodation on the Friday night, so that you could come and still get home in time for dds birthday? Oh, and God has provided us with a bouncy castle!! The pub across the road - just 10 yards from the door of the Baptist rooms - has set up a bouncy castle in their garden. For the price of an orange squash/packet of crisps, you can bounce as much as you want!!

God bless all.

Notquitegrownup · 02/05/2007 10:41

Oops! link to meet up thread

fannyannie · 02/05/2007 11:38

Well I've had a good morning so far - despite a TERRIBLE nights sleep - doesn't seem to matter whether I have the entire double bed to myself, or sleep in the tiny single in the DS's room I just can't sleep well ATM - ho hum - not long left now and then at least I can attribute sleepless nights to having a baby that I actually have to get up to - rather than just not being able to get comfortable.

Anyhow - went to Morrisons this morning - no horrible women in there today - infact lots of lovely comments, smiles and 'playing' with DS2 when he was playing his games - and that was despite the shop being full of OAP's .

Bought enough meat for 9 meals - so won't have to do such a big shop next week and only spent £61 despite buying lots of little 'extras' - so quite pleased with that.

It's a glorious sunny day here so about to put the shopping away, do a load of washing (wasn't going to but as the weather is so nice I may as well) and list yet more stuff on ebay.

Hope everyone else is well/

ZipadiSuzy · 02/05/2007 13:15

Well I went to pick the twins up from playschool, thought I'd nip in to work and say hello and I burst into tears, what was all that about, wish I could get hold of my emotions atm, doing my head in, THERES NOTHING THE MATTER!!!!!! you silly girl!!!!!! so I went and sat in the church yard, on the grass with a magazine, talking to my old sunday school teacher (grave)(of 30 years ago) am I going insane? one of those occasions I just couldn't stop crying! everything around me seems insignificant, I'm emotionally drained and fed up! HELP!!!!!!

fannyannie · 02/05/2007 13:16

awww Suzy - praying for you - and in the meantime here are some pictures of my DS2 to cheer you up
