Hello all. Blimey (trying to continue the old fashion swearing), I've missed lots of chat!
onion!! I love the name change. And you so should run some classes or write a book. Your lists are amazing and now DIY advice! I don't know what I'd do without my baby stuff spreadsheet, based on your other list. Hope ringlet is doing ok and the baby rice is helping.
dildals a massive congrats on having Bella home! Such good news. And it's so lovely to see you worrying about normal parent things, rather than having to deal with the hospital hell.
keep eek at your nct friend. Hope they are ok. I like onion's tip of buying miniatures of smellies for the hospital bag and may start to stock up.
shazz I can indeed confirm that the Croydon Ikea sells veggie filth dogs. Although Mr G is normally in such a strop by that point, that I'm rarely allowed one. What did you think of the last nct? I found it more useful than the previous one, but was so pleased that you picked the teacher up on her sweeping gender biased statements. It was beginning to miff me right off (some more OF swearing..)
sweetie, noks, fairy and buzzie I'm with you on being massively uncomfortable at night and feeling like I need to piss like a race horse, but only being able to squeeze out a few drops! What is that about?! I have lost the ability to tell if I need to pee or not?
noks I was starting to feel a bit pukey in nct when we had label up the squashed innards of a preggo. Lucky I just have to do the giving birth bit and not watch... Hope Mr N is behaving after his beating talking to. I had a rant last night about 'the shit all over the house', which appears to have had zilch affect on the piles of papers and dirty mugs everywhere.
sweetie OMG the knitted Olympins are awesome! When we've all had our babies, we should get your mum to do knitted versions of them.
buzz did I say congrats on the scan?? I hope you feel a little comforted and have found your baby box, which must be a happy/sad moment. Can't believe your scan was only half an hour - mine was a good hour! My tummy was rather sore. Do you have any more scans now? We have the growth one a week on Monday, eek.
rasp congrats on ET and I have frostie envy! Hope the 2ww is going smoothly. After my successful FET, I spent the first few days sprawled in bed, eating chocolate - it was easter- and watching box sets (Gossip Girl much to my shame...)
crisps where do you get hold of Geordie Shore?? I'm off work today with a migraine (boo) and now feel well enough to indulge in some trash tv...
I have the glucose tolerance test on thurs. Not looking forward to it as it involves fasting, going sans gaviscon and drinking lucozade. If I don't puke, I'll be pleased. Have to have the test cos of my Dad's type 2 diabetes and really hope it's negative as can't do without my choccie biscuits and cheese cake.
Talking of which and all the talk of snacks on here, I made the mistake of weighing myself at the weekend. At 27 weeks I've put on 2 fecking stone! Am hoping it's all boobs and bump, but know it's all on my thighs and arse and certainly not the 2lb baby. Does anyone know if you keep piling it on in the 3rd trimester? I think in theory you're only meant to put on 2 stone throughout the whole pregnancy?!
