Merry Christmas babies

Huge congratulations Dog. So happy for you.
Hi Moose!
Got a wedding tomorrow so need some zzz but will catch up soon.

FB break through. It really is a pita of a site.

Mooching about looking for a tutu for dd2 for her birthday, found this What a hoot!!

Eggy thread.

Well, I was going out 2-5 times a week till dd1 was 9 weeks. I just thought I was getting ld when the hangovers were brutal.

Her amniotic fluid was primarily gin.

The increase in risk of anything, is from the teeny weeny tweeny to the teeny weeny. Be reasurred. Most pregnancies in the UK are thought to be unplanned, nad the majority of people do drink alcohol. x

It's lovely Dog. You must be about the same as the eggy lady!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dog, you CRAZY lady!!! If I'd have known you were serious about wanting 4 I'd have sent DD in the post a long time ago.

Yay for tree too!!!

hi dog, hope the small ones are all getting in line and marching upstairs for you, and that isla is a bit better. also hope you don't have the bone dissolving pregnancy exhaustion i remember, fingers crossed that no4 will be an obliging sort and only cause blooming ...

gumps, hope wedding is proving fun

tree - hurrah for sapling!! that is technically two - and wasn't there betting about who'd be first...? do you know the due date? also, dp and i pissed ourselves looking at the baby costumes....

pretty shit here today for some reason, i think the household is a bit post-viral or something. c in awful form all day, have calpoled and sent to bed but if she is no better tomorrow might pop to the doctor's in case her ears are sore or something - can't see any teeth to blame it on but she is behaving like something is sore so... i am also feeling vilely grumpy, and poor dp has piles of grading to do so feeling very harassed...

also, dog, sorry about night time excursion - always fun even if you don't need to think about parking fees, and about the penicillin. isla hasn't got a really bad reaction to it, i hope. i think a complaint is in order, they really need to take more care about things like that

I read that as your dp had piles, of a grading type. I was imagining some way of grading piles, and then I caught up with myself.

i think my dp might divorce me if she thought i were discussing any such thing on here, or anywhere and i am sure that there are grades of piles, you know...

sounds a good plan, dog

I love the inbetween nothingness, it is the best bit of Christmas for me. No stress, no expectations.

I am a little over all these babies - and Dog, can't see any reason why you couldn't keep feeding Isla if she doesn't decide for herself. DS gets so so fussy around the time my period is due, he bites and refuses to feed sometimes. I can see we're not going to come out the other end of one of those fussy phases one time, it is horrid being biten a lot and when I'm premenstrual I am too wrapped up in PMT to worry about the finiteness of stopping.

Will you want another homebirth Dog or are you over it now you've done it once? Hope poor little Isla better soon - what happened to India OOI?

Massive congratulations Tree to you and the recipients, what wonderful news. Am I right in thinking that if a heartbeat can be seen now there is a massively good chance of a term pregnancy? I seem to remember being told some 90+% statistic when I was pg with DD and had a few bleeds. Has brought back with spades the early pregnancy tension that accompanies those first weeks, how easily you forget. Must be so much worse for them too. I wished those 8 weeks of my life away both times, and will never regret doing so.

Me too Lenni, I wished to 28 weeks with dd1, and anatomy scan with dd2. Although I had a real fear with dd1 I didn't have with dd2. Odd as I was nearly 5 years older

I guess eggy lady has leaped a massive milestone at 6 weeks. There are a few more to go before we breathe out. If we ever do!!

Having an odd time here. Mood out there and detached. I think it's a stress response, work is really looming like a massive cloud. I hope I don't feel like this till Feb, as I imagine it will only get worse when I really am back.

How was birthday girl today Lenni?? Blimey I nearly forgot

Milk reverts to newborn milk - am certain of that. Know that you have to feed newborn first so they get colostrum but by then Isla would be big enough to wait.

I love the lounging around and not having to worry about visitors or organising presents or anything. Lovely.

How was the birthday lenni? And tomorrow it's Z's and D's big day, isn't it? Or am I confused? I know they are either a month or four weeks older than N. Maybe it's time for the list again.....? Am on iPhone so cannot do now. God it's annoying. Want to catch up properly but too frustrating on this thing. Will try in morning.
