Yay Janie - you go girl! Maybe your boss has realised that he is in the deep shit otherwise!

I am still going to my Pilates/stretching class (it's in the local Quaker meeting house - very random) haven't really looked at the pregnancy dvd's as I need someone's stern voice telling me to do something in the actual room.

No loving for DH in this house either since we ttc'd. DH is missing it but being understanding. He has been "enjoying" himself every so often, found a really interesting web page open on the ipad the other day Grin cue much ribbing. Hoping that second trimester I feel a bit more like it.

Fx Blackholes - nearly scan time -hope you have a lovely meal afterwards.

Oh Blackholes I reckon you are in there now, thinking of you! X

LuckySocks13 · 15/05/2013 20:09

Go janie :) well done you. Hope all is going perfectly blackholes. Look forward to hearing how it went. Lol lol lol at the camel toe Aoife. Long tips only for me to hide the podge a bit! I'm so tired but my toddler (DS) 37months had a late sleep after nursery so no hope he will be asleep before 9 at the earliest . Also feeling pretty shockingly sick again tonight.

LuckySocks13 · 15/05/2013 20:10

Long tops! Silly phone!

shellsocks · 15/05/2013 20:20

Ha ha aoife not a good look Grin

Your family sounds lovely blackholes defo not greedy, we are hoping to have three children eventually too (feels wrong writing that when the second one isn't even here safe and sound yet) Good luck at the scan Smile

jmf sounds tough for your DS but he sounds a proper trooper, just not fair is it x

janie yep, hairy is defo a boy (if you believe the old wives tales!)....was true for me last time (well hairy legs etc) and my friend had a DD and her hair pretty much stopped growing! Also I think a boy is meant to mean no sickness and sickness means a girl, not the other way round....I wasn't sick with DS so???? Well done telling your boss, brilliant outcome Smile

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 15/05/2013 20:33

Oh she'll I better get the blue paint in!! Ha!! Love old wives tales!

Blackholes I hope you're smiling and having a lovely tea x

Aoifebelle · 15/05/2013 21:05

black holes you had better update the girls before heading your for grub. We are on tenterhooks. Settling down to 24 hours in a&e. Anyone want to take a bet on how long it will take me to blub?

LuckySocks13 · 15/05/2013 21:24

A and E??? You ok Aoife? ((()))

DIYandEatCake · 15/05/2013 21:26

That's what I was about to say then realised it's a tv programme! Watching the apprentice here, can't stand hospitals!

LuckySocks13 · 15/05/2013 21:28

oh thank goodness!

IBelieveInPink · 15/05/2013 21:32

Jeez that's what I thought too! We don't need any more a&e dramas ladies!!!

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 15/05/2013 21:33

God I was just thinking the same! Phew!

Talking of hospital programmes, I found we had 4od on our tv with a whole series of one born every minute, watched 3 in a row on Sunday, cried solidly for nearly 3 hours (happy tears...I think!)

Aoifebelle · 15/05/2013 21:41

Oops sorry for the false alarm. You daft mares.

The 1st ever GBT Pregnancy Workout DVD Review Post;

10min pilates American (so she's stupidly happily to be working out, the loon), has a small section for postnatal workout. I haven't enjoyed this, it swings between too easy & far too uncomfortable but it's cheap & does the job.

prenatal fitness fix American, recorded in her living room & she's very annoying. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who wasn't active before pg, she does lots of squats/dips etc & doesn't seem to spend any time explaining proper form....I'm also relatively fit but haven't been able to complete this workout since 14/15wks, so was a waste of money.

Yplan hilariously dated, think it's an early 90's video transfer. Easy, has three separate sections for each trimester & none of them are too taxing (most reassuring when you're terrified of bringing on a bleed).

Rosemary Conley Not a pregnancy dvd, but it's not too strenuous & there is a decent chair workout section (which makes you feel like a Nana!) for when you're too fat to touch your toes, I used this one loads in the 3rd trimester with DS & getting back in shape after him.
It's £3! What's not to love (also late 90's, lots of cheesy music; M People, Steps etc)

Blackholes, hope to hear your update soon (with any luck I've cross-posted)!

Janie, brill outcome re.telling boss!

We're still having sexy times over here, although we have to stop when I can feel my bump dweller kicking about...it's just weird.

DS is (almost) 17 months & just awesome. mostly. Today he was a teething demon from hell, but I think it's more me being knackered from being pregnant then him being a little mister.

BlackholesAndRevelations · 15/05/2013 22:05

Everything's ok!! Had abdominal scan and saw little tiny heart pulsing away in tiny blob. Feels real now! Thank you so much for all the positive vibes. Will reply to everyone properly tomorrow xxx

Ps- my lucky socks had Santa on them, for a lucky christmas baby! Grin xxx

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 15/05/2013 22:10

Good work blackholes!!! Brilliant news Smile and well done to the lucky socks again woohoo all round!!!

jmf294 · 15/05/2013 22:13

Yeah!!! Great news Blackholes.

I have a scan and harmony test at 10am tomorrow at FMC.
Just hoping that this run of good news can continue.

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 15/05/2013 22:16

Best of luck tomorrow jmf, got everything crossed for you.

BumpKitty · 15/05/2013 22:29

Yey blackholes so happy for you (and of course you aren't greedy wanting 3!) so when is your little Christmas pudding due? Christmas babies are magical - ooh I've gone a bit over emotional Grin

janie well done - now fx the bugger does what he says he will!

jmf have you chosen the socks yet?

aoife a ha ha ha - maybe time to break out the maternity clothes? You'll end up with a chafed fanny like janie if you're not careful Grin

gbt I love your reviews but I have no intention of moving my fat arse anywhere, could you review a range of other antenatal goods I might enjoy?!

Pentagon · 15/05/2013 22:50

woohoo blackholes wonderful news! Congratulations! Sounds like both you and jmf have lovely families - I would love to have 3 too but let me have this one first (fingers crossed everything goes well) and see how I cope with 2. jmf my DH has type 1 diabetes - he's had it since he was 8 - so I know it's not easy...your DS is a hero indeed! All the best for the scan and harmony test tomorrow!

Janie, well done you!! Courage really pays off sometimes. I hope your boss sorts it out soon and doesn't give you any more stress!

Aoife you crack me up!

aaaahhhh, exercise....I should really start doing some but feeling too stressed about everything at the moment (but it would help with the stress, wouldn't it?) I think I'll wait for my midwife appointment on Friday and then see how I feel...

andadietcoke · 16/05/2013 07:03

Congratulations blackholes definitely relax a bit now Grin

Good luck today jmf!!!

Ahhh, exercise. Yep, meant to do that. Promised I'd start at 12w, then 20w... My mc started just after a nice long swim in Tunisia so that's put me off, and my stroppy cervix cervical ectropion would be irritated by it now. I'll try and go swimming this weekend.

Happy Thursday everyone Grin

Aoifebelle · 16/05/2013 07:05

Excellent news blackbirds that bit of reassurance that something is in there is fab.

jmf try and enjoy your scan today. It really is magical. Oh and they even warm the jelly!

Janie well done on the work front. You go momma tiger.

IBelieveInPink · 16/05/2013 07:12

Jmf - good luck today, will be thinking of you! :)

Bakingtins · 16/05/2013 07:16

Congratulations Blackholes so pleased for you.

Good luck jmf

Janie you are awesome!

pumpkinsweetie · 16/05/2013 07:16

Congratulations Blackholes Thanks, yay Smile
Jmf goodluck for today with your scan!
