hmm, pancakes (drool) I had mine with ben and jerrys, sliced banana and cream. slurp.

Callie, craving sweets...hmmm.. pregnant? pmt? low iron? ....it was low iron making me crave chocolate. I am taking spatone now and feeling better.

I am tired though, dh is around disturbing my sleep (he's as bad as the kids) plus I sat reading until 12.oo (silly me)

Diva ooh where's the jordon thread? Has she had a nose job? She used to have a distinctive hookie nose and I think she has lost alot of character from her face...I think it's the nose...

Rosylily · 07/02/2008 09:45

Foxy, I hope the horrible horrible bug passes quickly

bethoo · 07/02/2008 09:47

fitfox - cant beleive you went into work feeling sick, feeling nauseas is one of the worst things in the world!

well my cramps have virtually gone, cant remember having any this morning so far! very relieved. feel back to my normal self now. seeing gp this afternoon so may see about getting an early scan or just leave it til 12 weeks since i am eating well, excercising and not drinking so either way i am taking care of myself. this is a good opportunity to stop my binge drinking and social smoking. of course if it goes pete tong i will prob be off the wagon!!!

bethoo · 07/02/2008 10:16

Rosy - that sounds delicious what you described pancakes with ben and jerrys!! i want one NOW!! yummy

muppetisacat · 07/02/2008 11:10

Callie - no news from my friend - have texted her dp but he hasn't replied - so either they are still in hospital from yesterday or are understandably ignoring the phone... may drive round past her house later with a casserole and check on the state of play.
Am so worried for her.

muppetisacat · 07/02/2008 11:42

Good idea for valentine's day!

bethoo · 07/02/2008 11:51

muppett - after what your friend has been through she is probably in alot of turmoil. she may want to be on her own for a while but if you go over at least she knows that you are there for her when she is ready and the casserole is a good idea as the last thing on hermind will be cooking i think.

Rosylily · 07/02/2008 12:18

muppet that link is hilarious

I think it is lovely to give your friend a casserole. She must be having a horrible time at the moment.

muppetisacat · 07/02/2008 12:58

just got text - she is back home and i'm going round later. At least she is physically through it

muppetisacat · 07/02/2008 12:58

rosy - i like the way the cherub shimmies his bum

what a fab ad... but I'm not sure that I'll be looking for that product on my supermarket shelf . Yuck!!

kiwi kids are vegemite kids!! Kate and I have vegemite on toast mid morning, almost every day.

Oh Foxy, poor you... I hope that your symptoms don't worsen.

Rosy... thats not chocolate ben and jerrys, is it???

Thinking of you and your friend muppet... and looking forward to your news after visiting the doctor, Bethoo.

Hi everyone... waves x x

kiwi - saw gp and bumped into my previous mw, still early to say what is happening and have to wait til about 10 weeks to register. mw said that it was very early in pregnancy to have symptoms though i could have m/c and it has been reabsorbed into my body so would not bleed. they will not do early scan. also found out that at higher risk of m/c at 8-9 weeks as that is when the placenta takes over so that is when it can go wrong. for nowi am going to take it as though i have m/c unless i get symptoms. was at gym today and felt fine, not tired or anything. this experience has made me think that i may try again sooner than later.

kittywise · 07/02/2008 16:41

bethoo, that was the way I looked things with Ronnie. I went on as if i wasn't pg and didn't get attached to it.
I found that much easier to do than to get hopeful and then have my hopes dashed. Then when it was fine I could get excited

evenhope · 07/02/2008 18:09

Sorry to hear everyone is so sick. We leave for NZ in just over 2 weeks! Panicking because I haven't sorted out all the accommodation or the airport parking (another job that is mine not ours!)

I am so tired... went to bed at 9.30pm yesterday absolutely shattered. DD woke to feed at 10.30, 11.30, 12.30, 1.30, 2.30, 4.30 and 6.30 I got to work and couldn't even think straight.

Needless to say I'm sat here feeding DD- feeling like death warmed up- and DH is snoring on the settee

Divastrop · 07/02/2008 20:25

evenhope-.does your dh not help atall?

bethoo-alot of the gp practises round here wont let you register untill 10 weeks,mine is the exception.
i thought the placenta took over at about 12-14 weeks and thats why the risk of m/c is less after that?why wont they scan you?

i have a bug,i think,as i have thrown up twice since tea and still feel sick and crappy.i havent got time to be ill.

evenhope · 07/02/2008 21:14

Diva we always used to do 50/50. In the last few years suddenly he's opting out and I'm getting stuck with more and more of the chores. He's getting DD's PJs on ATM but will leave her clothes on the floor for me to gather up. He'll feed her but leave her bowl, spoon and bib on the settee. Her swimming stuff will stay wet in the bag until I hang it up....

We have had so many rows but I'm not getting through. Had he been like this 25 years ago I wouldn't have looked at him twice

Divastrop · 07/02/2008 21:34

evenhope-i know what you mean,except the same has happened here over a much shorter time.theres no point in saying anything as there will always be some reason why its mine or the kids' fault.

who asked about the jordan thread?i thought it had died but it re-started.anyway,i am a prude who hasn't 'lived',plus i have no idea how to type(true).think i better feck off to FB.

Rosylily · 08/02/2008 07:33

Diva who said that load of rubbish to you? It is not true at all!

Evenhope it is the same here but it always has been so I don't feel bitterly disappointed because I knew what I was getting into with dh. He offers compensations but I am sick of everyone throwing everything at their arse presuming it will magically put itself away. But I'm messy myself so I'm not exactly a good example. That lack of sleep is going to make everything hard to cope with. Maybe you can insist on being given a break and maybe a nap over the weekend?

Kiwi there was a bit of chocolate in the ice cream but that was okay it was pancake tuesday and goodbye to chocolate party before lent started. There is a whole support thread going on!

Rosylily · 08/02/2008 08:29

Hee hee, just read a bit of the Jordan thread. It's great! A good old row! Diva you gave it loads of welly!

TheBlonde · 08/02/2008 11:41

Hi gang, anyone got that Friday feeling?
It is sunny here

Divastrop · 08/02/2008 11:45

rosy-it all got a bit too school playground in the end,i have now remembered that i am a 30 year old woman.

ds2 is still being a little sod in school.him and his friends seem to have got it into their heads that the new teacher is soft,and they are basically taking the p**s.the head is off sick at the moment as well,and her deputy is alot less scary.i wouldnt want to be in ds's shoes when the head gets back.

evenhope-what would happen if you refused to do anything?i often fantasise about going on strike but i cant bring myself to do it

Rosylily · 08/02/2008 11:47

my scrumptiously cute thread

Ooh yeah, it's great that it's friday.

I am a lazy procrastinating woman this morning, sitting here all morning...I must do something!

Rosylily · 08/02/2008 11:48

I think I'm on strike then

muppetisacat · 08/02/2008 11:49

went to visit my friend this morning. I think everything went as smoothly as it could have done - but what a thing to have to go through

all the midwives treated her really well though and she is thankful for that.

She did hold him and name him and had a photo taken with him and i really think that will help her in the long term.

For now though it is so raw...
