Sounds like you have it too dooby!
Probably a good idea to withdraw details, you never know. I wouldn't mind seeing it if you can be bothered - Kate Fallon 44@hotmail .com

There is an ornamental cow in the garden.I thought it was a dog but my sister looked at house and said cow![not me]
It is unfurnished and I think the room you walk into off porch is quite dark but tha can be dealt with.It is a good starting point.And we have 2 dogs so I think we have done well.

StealthPolarBear · 26/02/2009 17:05

That house is lovely Dooby, and what a huge garden, although the house itself looks pretty big too! I spent a long time on the first photo looking for the cow

Just had my scan, all fine and looking good. They calculated me at 11w5, which is more or less what I thought - makes me due on the 12th September.

Doobydoo · 26/02/2009 18:31

Thanks re positive noises re house.Feel nervous will have to stop saying Feck
SPB...That is very exciting new indeed....can't wait.Are you going to find out the flavour?

StealthPolarBear · 26/02/2009 18:37

Yes - can't bear surprises / secrets!

Doobydoo · 26/02/2009 18:40

Will you let us know??????????????

StealthPolarBear · 26/02/2009 18:42

Of course - if I didn't it would be a secret
Look I told you lot I was pg while the stick was still wet (almost before DH) do you really think I'm going to start holding back now?!

Doobydoo · 26/02/2009 19:08

Grin Grin

Sexonlegs · 26/02/2009 21:06

Aaah SPB, bless ya! Glad all is going well.

Dooby, the house is gorgeous

All ok here. Manically busy trying to finish stuff at work - only in next week and then start my new job on the 10th March Hope everyone is ok. xxxxx

elkiedee · 26/02/2009 22:53

Bramshott, we only have one stairgate at the top of the stairs, still feel a need for it - downstairs stairs go straight up from our front room so D is in sight of us in the sitting room, I've concluded I'm more nervous in homes with a separate hallway! - but I think it depends on you and your child and how you have things organised.

Good luck with the house Dooby.

11 + 5 already SPB, wow! 12 September is the birthday of a very special grown up in my life, he was my mum's dp when I was little and I really adored him.

Spent this afternoon at hospital again, a bit of a drag having to trek up there but much more positive than last Thursday's visit which left me feeling furious - long story. Conor's weight had increased from 4.6 kg on Monday to 4.73 today and the consultant seemed very happy with that.

Tomorrow we have an NCT antenatal class meet up - the third I've got to but first with baby in tow for me and I think a couple of the others.

Am not getting any email on my main email address (ISP provided one) and have no idea what's up, as dp is still getting his linked to the same account. It's most irritating, just hope I don't miss any messages about Conor's birth or anything particularly important like that.

CaptainDippy · 26/02/2009 22:58

Great about C's weight Elkie

Soooo exciting SPB Yey!

Exhausted, off to bed, night all ....

Right just popped in and I see LOADS has happened! I'm totally offended - have you all got lives or something??

Elkie - Fantastic news on the weight gain - you have done truly amazing things to keep going as you have - I'm sure dp, D and C are all very proud of you - you rock!

SOL - you rock too - great news on the job front - this is a new challenge for you and I'm sure you'll love it. 22.5 hours is a good amount - enough to get your teeth into.

Dooby - also rocking I see with a new house - BRAVO - I know you'll love Lincolnshire and the 11+ is no problem - hey I passed it and I can barely add up Great news about M too.

SPB - you rock too - so pleased to hear your scan went well - keep us up to date

The rest of you - what the heck - YOU ROCK TOO

All fine here, am busy at work and had people round for lunch last weekend and this weekend - much cooking going on round here! Other than that I spend my time arguing on mumsnet Had a little treat today - I signed up for a magazine subscription that had a limited number of Pink lining bags to give away. I didn't think I would get one but today it arrived and it is beautiful I do love a good bag!

Right off to bed now

oooggs · 27/02/2009 10:00

me me me dooby I love property porn [email protected] please

Erin has her hair in bunches (they did it at nursery and she now wants mummy to do it) far too grown up for my liking!!

Luke is being a little treasure and settles well after night time feeds

sol - so happy for you on the job front - hurray

nl - cooking I need a cook (and a cleaner/nanny/..............I could go on )

elmajo - keep in touch

mammyjo - hope jab went ok

katy - did you find out the sex? (we only did on no.)

bramshott - we still have gate at top of stairs on middle floor (mainly to stop them going down to garage etc...) but will probably put one on Jacks bedroom when he moves into a bed

Doobydoo · 27/02/2009 13:45

Great about C's weight Elkie.Well done you 2
Hi NL...Bag sounds lovely
OOOGGS Have sent email.
SOL,all the best with your new job.
Packing,surrounded by boxes.
DP has said,if we can pack this stuff now and do without it for a month,why do we need it!?
Then said...and now you will be onto your mumsnet group telling them what a man thing to say
I agree in part though.
Have a good day all.xx

CaptainDippy · 27/02/2009 13:49

LOL @ Property Porn oooggs. Cuuuute to bunches - P's hair is long enough for them too; but she won't keep them in for 5 secs

I am so hoping and praying that DD1 is ok for her birthday Party tomorrow. She was a bit "off" before bed last night & woke up at 4am with a temp. Gave her meds and she slept in bed with DH & I. She was sick once, but it was just phelgm; not food (sorry tmi ) Sent her to school today as she was bright as a button this am and ate cereal without being sick. Please be ok for tomorrow - eeeek!

OP posts:
StealthPolarBear · 27/02/2009 15:18

lol Dooby - can see the logic for say 6 months or a year but one month - he doesn't have a clue!

Dippy, hope your DD1 is OK for tomorrow. Forgot to say, friend had a baby yesterday and think it's your DD2 who has this name - S? Lovely!

oooggs, will hopefully find out the sex at the 20 week scan, will let you know! Also, if I can figure out how to get pictures of my phone will upload my scan picture, so you can all say what a lovely errrrm umbilical cord! Well what is there to say about scan pics? Did I say he or she was waving and sucking fingers?
