Yes- my final scan said 10lber... she was 6lb11
Tis all a guessing game.

Jas · 02/09/2008 22:08

Come on guys, where are you all?

DP is watching Austin Powers and I hate it, but have no one to talk to on here.

EachPeachPearMum · 02/09/2008 22:20

Sorry- I have been at my reading group tonight.
Am very tired now, and off to bed.
Scan in the morning

Jas · 02/09/2008 22:33

Hope it all goes well EPPM

We were watching Charlie and choc facory last night! Then we were gonna watcha bit of American Gothic and have a grown yp eveniing, but it tookj so long to get ds1 to bed that dh went to bed straight after
I like Austin Powers!

ds2 going back to nursery this morninig. I just know there'll be tears. ds1 is staying with him tomorrow (cos I have nowhere to put5them while I need time on my own for job thing), but today will be a mare.

Hurray for scan

CantSleepWontSleep · 03/09/2008 07:38

Ooh good luck EPPM. Can't remember if you are finding out sex or not?

I was here til about 10, but then went up to bed, so missed you Jas. Reflexology tonight so won't be around so much.

mrm - what you up to on Monday? Tis our last free day. Good luck with job tomorrow - where is this one?

mustrunmore · 03/09/2008 07:53

Monday ds1 has a playdate (last min effort before school cos we havent seen any school friends all hol!!), but I dont know if it'll be am or pm yet. Do you want us? How about I let you know when I know what time we're seeing friend?

Job is crap serving wench, but much closer to home, aand they know what days I can and cant do cos it was from a spec cv with cover letter saying so, so more hoopelful. Still have issues with doing a crap job. But 1/2hr travel makes it seem more like popping out for a bit, we really do need the money now, and I'm sticking to my guns about 3 weekends so def no childcare xosts to resent paying.

Flamesparrow · 03/09/2008 16:31

Sorry been awol - the coming off the ADs is causing an issue tbh so hiding a bit.

CantSleepWontSleep · 03/09/2008 16:41

Are there no ADs that are ok whilst ttc/pg?

Yes, let us know about Mon mrm.

Flamesparrow · 03/09/2008 17:15

There are them, but my own personal moron GP doesn't want to give me them until I am actually pregnant and depressed Plus I am wary of them too

Hello, no time to read, so hope your all ok {{{{Hugs}}} to you all, just wanted to say I'm still alive and hoping to get back on here soon, fingers x'd maybe tomorrow night, but am sinking under work! hurrah of sorts

Jas · 04/09/2008 13:03

Hello

Nice to see you Frizbe. Busty is good.

We've been to ds' speech therapy appt, and he was discharged immediately. She ran out of paper to write down everything he said.

Jas · 04/09/2008 13:04

lol. My typos are getting awful lately....I did mean busy

EachPeachPearMum · 04/09/2008 13:55

pmsl Jas- glad you're busty Friz!

Didn't post details last night- too upset and slightly angry.
Baby is well and healthy, and was kicking away like a loon (just as DD did). The sonographer said she couldn't tell us the gender.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it (I'm not the emotional type, but I am pg ) but I definitely felt as if she wouldn't rather than couldn't.
Baby had it's legs stretched at full extension, not as if they were crossed over in front of genitals FFS.
I am really upset, as I really needed to know what gender- I am someone who cannot stand the unknown, or not knowing what is going to happen. I hate surprises, and I need to plan a lot of things for our family based on the gender of this lo.

I know that at our trust they often won't tell asian couples what gender they're having, it was an asian sonographer, and we have a weirdy, asian soundingish surname . I am same colouring as DD, but DH is mediterranean appearance, would pass for Italian/Greek/Egyptian (his heritage!).

I am looking into private sexing scan now, which is annoying, as I really could be using that money for other things. (like a new travel system as DD's just gave up the ghost )

Jas · 04/09/2008 14:05

EPPM that you didn't find out when you wanted to, but relieved after only seeing the first line on my threads you're on list that baby is ok

I'm not one to want to know the sex of mine, but do have a friend like you who couldn't not know

CantSleepWontSleep · 04/09/2008 15:12

at busty.

at speech appt.

What a bugger EPPM. Am a bit that your hospital will tell some people but not others. One of our local ones covers a large Asian community, so their policy is not to tell anyone.
I guess it will have to be a private scan then. We had to find out that way with dd, because they couldn't tell at 20wks (cord in way), but we were having 4d scan anyway, so just got them to tell us at that.

Flamesparrow · 04/09/2008 19:54

for your scan EPPM - but for healthy baby.

@ Busty Friz - always good.

Yay for speech therapy too Jas.

Day from hell here today, and moronic paediatrician yesterday. Planning on much alcohol in a min

CantSleepWontSleep · 04/09/2008 20:45

Am absolutely shattered. Will be early night for me after a little bit of TV.

Phoenix · 04/09/2008 21:09

for day of hell Flame.

for scan but for healthy baby EPPM.

for speech therapy Jas. Our HV said at ds' 2yr check that they would call him back in 6 mth to see if his speech had improved and if not sent him to speech therapy but they haven't and he's saying loads now anyway, in fact he never shuts up

PMSL at busty Friz

Is your foot any better mrm? Did you have an interview today?

Hope you get a good nights sleep CSWS

Phoenix · 04/09/2008 21:43

No one here then?

Jas · 04/09/2008 21:47

I'm here.

I kind of wish they had waited 6 months (instaed of 6 weeks) to refer ds....it would've saved bothering at all.

CantSleepWontSleep · 04/09/2008 21:48

Me, but I'm not meant to be. Am just chatting on msn.

Jas · 04/09/2008 21:51

Are you ok Flame?

I saw your car seat thread, and would seriously suggest the back to front reins ove the car harness. It may not be ideal (2 clips to undo in emergency) but better than unrestrained child on motorway until you sort something else out .
Not going to post it on your thread as I know I will get jumped on.

I bought ds a new seat and he is much better in it, combined with both dds developing better techniques for getting his arms back in when he does slip himself out.

Jas · 04/09/2008 21:51

You're supposed to be asleep CSWS!

CantSleepWontSleep · 04/09/2008 21:58

I'm going now, but hadn't chatted to QV for ages! Night all.
