Big not bug. Not that big. Size of a golf ball or a bit bigger. But still!

mopsytop · 31/07/2014 21:58

Oh dear. Hope he settles down soon aethel. Their chat is hilarious though. Half the time I don't know what Minimopsy is on about but it is lovely when we have 'proper' chats!

Greetings from Scotland ds been to bed after 10 last 2 nights sleeping for wimps apparently he's invaded my bed this morning but at least is still asleep i on other hand have been up since 6.15 damn internal body clock Angry

Nothing really to report here

DrFunkesFamilyBandSolution · 01/08/2014 10:09

Reading & lurking but so very tired. Is it bedtime yet?!

Enjoy Scotland Figs!

Hope knee isn't a hinderance over the weekend Faff

Having coffee, send awake vibes

TheOnlySeven · 01/08/2014 12:45

Not bedtime yet I'm afraid DrFunkes, glad to not be the only one who's exhausted. Being enormous plus the heat combined with DD1's 5am waking isn't a good combination.

Busy day of pre-washing the newborn cloth nappies, and DCs generally hindering with the housework.

mopsytop · 01/08/2014 18:52

How far are you now seven?

TheOnlySeven · 01/08/2014 20:04

33+2, 16, 17 and 18 days away from when the other 3 were born.

mopsytop · 01/08/2014 20:21

Eeek! In that order? maybe you'll go a bit longer this time ... fingers crossed.

I'm only 22+1 and already finding the heat really uncomfortable, although luckily it is cooler now. You must be finding it awful with 3 to run after as well!

I put mine to bed at 4.50 today, can't risk falling asleep atm, they've learnt the art of beating the crap out of each other so hae to stay on top of them constantly, vicious little tinkers!

Seven, still amazed how quickly it's come around! How is ds? I take it he's the only one who is really aware you're pregnant?

TheOnlySeven · 01/08/2014 20:26

Not in that order unfortunately, DD2 was the earliest at 35+4. I'll be honest I'm knackered, getting fed up of being pg now especially as I've had sciatica for 5 months. How's your SPD?

mopsytop · 01/08/2014 20:33

It varies. Some days I'm okay, others is really sore and is now going down my left leg as well Sad

mopsytop · 01/08/2014 21:24

And I had a v bad migraine this week too. Didn't post about it cos I have been a mega moan on here lately. Sorry Blush Blush Blush

TheOnlySeven · 01/08/2014 21:28

Moan away, I do Blush. Sorry you're suffering from them again, is it as bad as it was with minimopsy?

mopsytop · 01/08/2014 21:51

No is way better thank goodness! Then I was having about five a week. This time first 20 weeks maybe on average one v bad migraine two bad but copable with headaches a week. Incomparably better. The migraines have been particularly vicious but so long as they're not too frequent I can cope! I can't say I love being pregnant though but over half way now!! You haven't been moaning I don't think! Haven't noticed it in any case.

NorthernChinchilla · 02/08/2014 07:50

Sorry to hear of the migraines mopsy tho so glad it's been better than last time. N yr not moaning, we're just all recounting the especially glamorous bits of livesWink
Can't believe u'll soon b a mother of 4 seven. How's DS doing by the way, has it settled down with the meds at all?
Hope DS got to sleep in the end aethel, very sweet babble though!
The new fridge freezer arrived yesterday, bearing a resemblence to the main prop in '2001 a space odyssey...' We have indeed put the old freezer in our tiny conservatory plu, n will use it for ice, overflow for batch cooking etc.
Am currently in a hotel with my Mum, three streets up from my house! Having a lovely break, off to an ancient pub for lunch, then will feed the ducks at the big park... as I said, it's all about the glamour!
By the way, anyone heard from PTP?

pluCaChange · 02/08/2014 15:10

Sending sympathy for all the aches and pains... Sad We're starting our journey today, so trying to get everyone moving... Hoping to go for a quick spin first, so who knows when we'll get underway!

AnAirOfHope82 · 02/08/2014 18:09

Lurking......

Still ill so is Dd Sad

Aethelfleda · 02/08/2014 18:29

I'm watching the lego movie with all the kids/cousins at SIL's. DS is now asleep under her coffee table. Good to have a bit of variety for him.....

TheOnlySeven · 02/08/2014 19:46

Glad DD1 isn't the only one to have the occasional nap under a table. What's the Lego movie like? Worth getting for DS or will I be bored to tears?

Sorry you're still ill air

Feeling so uncomfortable today, lower back aches and lower bump feeling extremely heavy with stabby cervix pains (sorry tmi). Not long to go though.

mopsytop · 02/08/2014 19:59

Oh dear seven Sad . We watched Despicable Me. Love the minions!

mopsytop · 02/08/2014 20:00

All of Minimopsy's toys are under our coffee table so there'd be no room for her there!

Aethelfleda · 03/08/2014 11:47

Lego movie was ok. The title song is annoyingly earworm! Think your DS would probably love it :o) the scripting is ok. Not a classic but a lot better than moshi monsters!!!

TheOnlySeven · 03/08/2014 12:58

Not seen moshi monsters thankfully

aethel o wise medical one, do you know anything about dating scans? Exactly two weeks away from when DD2 was born today, when I had my dating scan my due date was put back by exactly a fortnight. Anyway today I'm definitely nesting, the only other time I've nested was the day before I had DD1. Is there any way my dates could have been right and the scan been wrong?

OiMissus · 03/08/2014 13:01

Sympathies for aches (heads, hips etc) and (stabby and other) pains. :(
I have an achey back, it hurts to straighten up. I thought at first it was muscular, but now I'm beginning to think it's my kidneys giving up. Shock
After tonight, no more booze, much more water!!
(Out with a couple of friends this evening).
Yesterday was the wedding. It wasn't so bad.
I had a tear at the first dance. Not for the new bride and groom but for my failed marriage. Sad, eh? Hmm
Hey ho!
We did Thomas land as a family on Thursday. It was a pleasant day, but DH annoyed me, and I annoyed him. So maybe it's for the best!
DH and Boi have gone to a birthday party, so I shall use the time to get this place in order. Up and at 'em! Smile
