ShadyLadyT · 14/05/2013 07:20

Woo! What a Billy Whizz! That sounds very intense - hope you are ok, Arti - but well done and so many congrats. Kisses to all of you. Hope you are managing to rest now.

TheInvisibleHand · 14/05/2013 07:33

Wonderful, congratulations arti!

Vagolajahooli · 14/05/2013 07:40

Hooray! Well done Arti. What a relief after all your worry about whether you could do it; and you go & deliver from an induced labour without drugs. Bloody hell your a marvel! Now welcome to the world of willies!

You were quick off the mark Rubes a good time to check. I'm well jel of your quiet time but would miss the wee ones.
too.

The boys have school photos today so was frantically trying to make them look presentable this morning. Ds1 is quite interested in his appearance so was doing his hair beautifully and chose his clothes. But ds2 not so much, plus he has had a horrid rash around hos face that us now all dry & crusty. Nice.

Arti, your son shares his birthday with cate blanchett, George Lucas a d mark zuckerberg. Wow!

poisondwarf · 14/05/2013 08:00

Congratulations Arti! When are the girls coming to meet their little brother? Does he look like any of your names?

Vagolajahooli · 14/05/2013 10:56

I think because of your current MN handle he should be named Arthur....or Artichoke.

Vagolajahooli · 14/05/2013 10:57

Hey poison! Nice to see you, how's tricks. Anymore plans for Amsterdam?

ZuleikaJambiere · 14/05/2013 11:00

I agree with Vag, I met a baby Arthur last week who already is called Arti by his family. There is no other choice for our newest thread member

Who win the sweepstake for time of birth? We were all miles off on weight!

beans37 · 14/05/2013 11:38

Hurray for Arti and little nameless! Well done, you hardcore person! What a superstar. You were the first thing I thought about this morning and I've only just now had time to find out if he'd arrived!

I guessed 2.45am, I think I might be the winner????? Although I didn't out in for a weight. Bum.

Well done! Happy days!

ZuleikaJambiere · 14/05/2013 11:58

As DD is snoozing after swimming, I've had time to check the winner, and I'm afraid it's not you Beans - Nolda was only 7 minutes out, with 208am!

McKayz · 14/05/2013 12:06

They said no to the mortgage. We're going to be stuck in this house forever.

beans37 · 14/05/2013 12:20

Bumholes! Was sure it was me! That's what DD2 calls Mr Tumble; Mr Bumhole. No influence from me, of course.

Has anyone heard from Kiwi at all?

beans37 · 14/05/2013 12:20

Oh Kayz, didn't see your post. I'm so sorry to hear that. X

DeidreBarlow · 14/05/2013 12:45

Oh Kayz sorry it was bad news on the mortgage. Did they say it was because of your credit rating? They really can be repaired, it might take a while but it can be done. You might be in that house a bit longer than planned but not necessarily forever.

McKayz · 14/05/2013 12:49

Just because of the credit rating. DH thinks it stays on your system for 6 years even if you paid everything off. So it'll be 6 years he thinks.

JumpJockey · 14/05/2013 12:56

Arti fantastic news! Just saw the pic on FB and realised I've missed your live labour updates - what a beautiful photo and well done you!

Nolda · 14/05/2013 13:29

Yay! I won! .

Sorry about the no go on the mortgage Kayz.

Grin World of willies, Vag! Arti, has he weed on you yet?

PinguRocks · 14/05/2013 17:19

Big congrats Arti! Boo Kayz but it really won't be forever - you can improve your credit rating no probs! Congrats to Jammy too. You are braver than me - there is no way we will be going for numero 3.
Well we are in sunny Orlando coming to the end of what was a lovely holiday and poor DD2 has the pox and has been declared unfit to fly. I am going to be stuck here with a quarantined toddler until at least the weekend. Am sending DH and DD1 home as planned as DD1 hasn't had it and I don't want to be stuck here for yet another week if she does - rubbish. Have got calomine and porridge oats but anyone got any other tips - you can't get vitrasooth here - they vaccinate so don't seem to have lts available. Help!

poisondwarf · 14/05/2013 19:00

Arti how's the little fella? Are you out yet?

Jam congrats on your bun in the oven! . Having difficulty keeping up - have you had your first scan yet?

Vag yes soz didn't reply to your post about the Dam ages ago. Would love to come over at some point but things tend to get a bit busy over summer plus am feeling the pinch after mucho car trouble recently. Maybe later in the year? Also in summer we are probably driving to Czech Republic via Belgium/Germany (probably late July/early August) - will be camping on the way there/way back so if you fancied a cheeky weekend camping maybe we could sort something out? Ha I like world of willies. Although to me it is more like world of balls. Takes me back to lovingly removing sticky yellow shit out of each and every crease on the sac. Ah, memories!

Pingu hello! Sorry to hear about DD but hope you can make the most of your few days of unexpected hols. You're a SAHM now right? How's that going?

Kayz sorry to hear about the mortgage. Bummer. Have you got any other options you're looking at? Were you looking at the Help to Buy Scheme? If not it might be worth looking at as your mortgage would be smaller so might not be as affected by adverse credit .

Rubes horrible news about DH's training buddy. I was thinking about her on my cycle to work & back - terrifying really. Bet it's shaken DH up.

spot are you around? How is your job search going? Will that be the deciding factor in staying put or upping sticks?

Hello Invis! Trip Down Under sounds exciting!

Beans probably missed the update but how did it all go with your sis?

LadyT fill me in on your italiano. Is it a group lesson? Are you making progress? And most importantly are you planning a trip over there to try it out?

Hello to all I've missed.

On the dry at night thing we're lucky here that both DCs have been dry early on. No idea why that is as I was wetting my bed until an embarrassing age - I'm 43 and still embarrassed about it! I had the alarms & stuff too but they never worked. Never got to the bottom of why but the thinking at the time seemed to be that it was a psychological rather than a physical issue.

DD is such a poppet. She's just sellotaped a heart-shaped paper on my back - it says "To mummy I love you love from N xxx". Aww. So sweet. And SO different from DS.

McKayz · 14/05/2013 19:13

Poison it was the help to buy scheme. DH has talked to a broker who is going to look over everything and see if he can find anything. DHs Nan has asked if she can be a guarantor for us but it doesn't look possible. It's such a shame as they did all the affordability and we can easily afford it.

McKayz · 14/05/2013 19:14

It's a brand new house too and the plans look great. Never mind.
