Naaaaaaaah! It's way too soon to test Grin Now it's a possibility I slightly regret it!

I will test in a week or so. As you were, ladies...

sybilfaulty · 18/09/2013 11:01

We can't wait a week, Lady. How exciting.

No word from beans yet. I'll post as soon as. Can also pm you her address if anyone wants to send a card.

Rubena · 18/09/2013 12:12

It's not too soon! Brighten my day pleeeease?!?!?

ShadyLadyT · 18/09/2013 12:25

But it is too soon! Grin Nothing's going to show up yet, even if I am! Plus I only have one ancient Asda test at the back of a cupboard which is prob defunct. I will test not this weekend but next. If I am it will be a flaming miracle. I wouldn't even suspect it as a possibility other than I had really early symptoms with DD2 - I am not sure it is even possible to have symptoms this early! But I just don't get tired at 9.45.

Nolda · 18/09/2013 12:44

Exciting news, Lady. We are all on tenter hooks now.

I hope all is well with Beans. Perhaps she is having a quiet cuddle by now.

ShadyLadyT · 18/09/2013 12:54

Honestly Nolda, I am probably just being nutty. But it will be a good test of how I feel about it all...

Am dying to know about Beans! Her labours are usually fast!

ShadyLadyT · 18/09/2013 12:56

Oh, and when are you starting your part time job, Nolda?

Honsandrevels · 18/09/2013 13:02

Oh yes please sybs. I'd like to send a card.

I say, 2.35, 7lb. Still think girl!

Oh my goodness lady, how very exciting. Babies, babies everywhere!

Mckayz · 18/09/2013 13:38

Yes please Sybs.

Vagolajahooli · 18/09/2013 14:26

Crikey lady. Also considering your past history I would think it definitely possible.

A belated go Beans I can't remember what it's like at 10mins apart, just remember telling dh to calm down at 5cm apart as it was too early to call the MW. Though Beans is a tad speedier than moi.

Nolda · 18/09/2013 15:04

Sybs, me too for card sending.

Lady, on the job thing, I have still to meet head secretary as DH said perhaps a CV would be a good thing to take with me. Not all that easy in the circs and I have spent an hour in the local library this am and have been learning about the delights of Google docs. I'm beginning to feel like a real fuddy duddy. I used to be on the ball with such things. Oh well, must go and pick up DCs.

JamInMyWellies · 18/09/2013 17:30

Popping in for bean baby news. Nothing yet?

Rubena · 18/09/2013 17:38

Guess not. Bo-ring. Oh but shady might be clackered Grin

ShadyLadyT · 18/09/2013 17:43

Oi! Grin It is nothing more than a vague possibility. Suppose I'd better get some more up to date pregnancy tests in...Hmm

It's Wednesday so I am cramming my Italian. I have no signal at my class so am hoping for Beans news before 7.45.

JamInMyWellies · 18/09/2013 17:56

What!

JamInMyWellies · 18/09/2013 17:58

Pay the tenner and get the ones which show how clackered you are.

Ooh claps hands excitedly. GrinGrin

Arrtttiiieee · 18/09/2013 18:22

Oooo Lady. When is your period due? You can test three days before that you know. Test, test, test!

Rubena · 18/09/2013 18:25

I double like that Jam.....
Clearblue "1-2 weeks pregnant"

job done Grin

ShadyLadyT · 18/09/2013 18:39

Cool it you lot! Grin I have really long cycles, like 34-36 days. So period not due until about 28th. Ten days away. So I have got to wait another week to get any sort of accurate result, I reckon....

Mckayz · 18/09/2013 19:06

Go to poundland and get some cheapies. Then you can test everyday!!

Oh Lady stop keeping us in suspenders & test! Grin We need a distraction while we wait for baby beans!

Poor DS is wiped out from school. He's so tired,keeps saying he's poorly (but he's not!). I think having to concentrate is really taking its toll on him. I wouldn't mind but he's not even up to full days yet! Poor bear.

Also my mum is dog-sitting my Aunts' Labradoodle puppy while they are on holiday. He is just gorgeous the DC's don't want to give him back...I am sorely tempted to get a dog. Never thought I'd say that but he is just the loveliest thing ever!

Vagolajahooli · 18/09/2013 19:38

Kayz your post made me laugh out loud. Imagine turning up to poundland and getting like 10 pregnancy tests. Actually I would do that.

Anyway you've given us something to take our minds off Beans.

I took Ds2 to gymnastics today, he has just started. They mostly just mess about on the equipment in a slightly structured way. They had some roman rings and they were supposed to just grab them and kind of flip over backwards. Ds2 grab the rings pulled himself right up then inverted and basically did a straight up handstand while holding onto the rings!

Vagolajahooli · 18/09/2013 19:39

Deids I saw the photo of the dog on FB it is indeed gorgass.

sybilfaulty · 18/09/2013 19:44

Wonderful news. Sally has a new baby girl, born 11 this am. 7lb 13 oz. gory details yo follow. She sounds very chipper and will be home tomorrow.

Hurrah for beans and her new lovely daughter.
