my ginger 3 legged guy just slept right at my face all morning :) he worries any time i'm here during the day and if i'm in bed i can almost hear him asking if i'm ok heehee! yes i am the crazy cat lady :) he's going to be most put out come november

kjh5 · 21/08/2013 13:03

Thanks for the advice everyone > cold bottle of fizzy water has sorted me out!

Reading all the cat advice with great interest. We have. 12-week-old kitten - a tabby crossed with a lot if fluff. He is unbearably cute and delightful but I'm a but worried about how he'll react if when we have a baby in the flat. He doesn't really come into the bedrooms at the moment. Maye I should reinforce that now while he is still little. Although was planning on smuggling him to bed with me this weekend when DH is away!

IBelieveInPink · 21/08/2013 13:40

Kjh - while he is still little I would suggest not letting him have bedroom as his 'territory'. This is the mistake we have made, which was never a problem before, but is going to be very hard to undo now! It will be far easier on you in the future if you can set the rules up now.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 21/08/2013 14:42

I'm no better off! SaggyDog sleeps in our room, often on the bed. I am about to commence his training. He will henceforth be sleeping on the landing. I wish he would adopt one of the dcs really, but he is 100% my dog! Confused

kjh5 Celebrating your nausea! Thinking of sniffing raw sewage so I can convince myself I feel preggo queasy!

Incessant ginger snaps worked for me with the DCs, also the wee cans of spray mineral water you can get in Boots. They were amazing.

Haha! Kat that sounds an awesome way to induce nausea - slightly better than tea's raw sewage suggestion! Am determined to feel grateful for every vomit. The nausea actually disappeared for a whole 48 hours so I am relieved it is back, even if it has returned with a vengeance!

Thanks for the advice Pink kitten stays in the living room most of the time and only really ventures into the bedroom if he follows us in so hopefully it won't be too much of a problem later on! But he is used to having attention and people to play with him 24/7. His nose is going to be right out of joint next April fingers crossed

Fucking hell Kat!

Haven't got time to catch up right now but just wanted to say a massive thank you for all the good vibes. So kind. We saw a lovely little 8week bean with a lovely heartbeat! The guy that did the scan was amazing, he described the little baby as 'this little miracle' and then said that he feels that way everytime he scans a baby!

Am off out now but just had to let you know

pumpkinsweetie · 21/08/2013 17:41

Yay sleepSmile congrats on your little bean, and that sonographer is right, all babies are miraclesSmile

Yay sleep that's such brilliant news! So pleased for you!

However kat that's grim. Is Branston pickle a secret fetish of yours or is this a pg craving??

Glad to hear that most of us are crazy cat ladies.

Organising our big family weekend and one of the activities I've suggested is mountain biking...Only afterwards did I realise that's prob not very pg friendly. My pg denial was obviously working over time!! really really hoping that no-one goes for that idea now...

BumpKitty · 21/08/2013 18:36

Yay sleep that's fantastic! Hold on to how positive you feel right now.

kat mmmm pickle, but not on its own and not half a jar! My heartburn has ramped up just thinking about it.

Well today has been a bit stressful. Took a call from someone threatening suicide at work then rushed back home to pick up DD from the childminder's to find she had scratched a child's face and drawn blood and kicked the childminder - I had to sign an incident report :( she really isn't this naughty usually. She has just fallen asleep in her dinner and I've put her to bed, now waiting for DH to get home so I can go to yoga and relax!

Bump you've had a day and a half, I hope yoga helps with the tension.

I spent this afternoon on the sofa watching one born on catch up, cried for about 3 hours. With every baby that was born I started to think 'that'll never be me'. I've been so positifrickintive recently so I really don't know where all the negafrickintivity came from :( maybe a day at home alone wasn't the best idea afterall hmm

kjh5 · 21/08/2013 18:45

YAY!!! sleep awesome news :) hope you are loving the happy buzz right now xx

I'm loving all the happy scan news - Rock is yours tomorrow? Keeping Fx that everything goes really well for you xx

Kat I scoffed an entire packet of ginger biscuits AND a giant bag if kettle crisps this afternoon Blush

bump hope your day gets better x

I am obsessed with pasta at the moment. Off home to make the yummy ottolenghi pasta dish with peas and Greek yoghurt and chilli pine nuts. The peas definitely make it healthy, right?

BirdsDoIt · 21/08/2013 19:06

janie watch bake-off as an antidote! Hope you managed to get some nice sleep this morning.

Apologies! I dropped off the last fred & haven't really been back on MN since.

Congrats to every new BFP, and congrats Sleep on the scan.

Kat, I'd have to worry about you getting excited by a tomato. Kettle chips on the other hand...
Birds, if it's got pasta AND peas in it, I'd call it a salad. That makes it healthy! Also, Yottam Ottolenghi looks fabulous so anything with his name on it must be good for you.

Bump, hope yoga relaxes you, sounds like a stressful day.

As a recently popped thread member I'd just like to say how bloody wonderful the lot of you are, it's so nice to have a place like this to talk about pregnancy/babies (and everything else!), even better that the lot of you are so nice. Thanks & Cake for everyone!!

sleepcrisis · 21/08/2013 20:33

Thanks guys. Feeling really good right now but also shattered from all the weeks of worry.

Good luck tommorrow Rock! Will be thinking of you.

Re food - carbs are absolutely the only way to get through the first few weeks. It's jacket potatoes here and little else. Although the addition of branston would really make it better! Why didn't I think of that! First pg I was hooked on pickles and used to drink the vinegar at the end of every jar. I was also drinking gaviscon from the bottle, I wonder why!

Am off on a long weekend with no technology, so I won't be around til middle of next week. Have good weekend everyone.

PoppySeedBun · 21/08/2013 20:39

Hello everyone - can I join?
I'm 5+2 after MMC at 9 wks (but really stopped at 6) in April. Been TTC for 3 yrs and on Clomid since Feb.
Its been so helpful reading this thread this evening. I'm much less excited than last time, and don't want to tell anyone until I get much further down the line. Haven't even told my doc yet or made any appointments. Don't want to think EDD at all. Going to try and take the good advice to just take it one week at a time - I like the idea of marking the milestones on the Pregnacare tablets though.

Pixielady83 · 21/08/2013 20:55

Brilliant news sleep Smile what a relief for you.

Hope you're feeling ok about tomorrow rock lots of luck.

Welcome poppy and all the best for your pregnancy. There are some lovely ladies and wonderful support on here Smile

I am absolutely shattered today. Wondering if I've been too optimistic about upcoming scan and if it's actually better not to be positive but to expect the worst because then you're more prepared? Hmm Hips are hurting all the time now and it's getting me down a bit, it feels very early to be sore and it's only going to get worse I suppose. I need to go back to the chiropractor but it feels hard because I really associate it with the MMC and part of me worries that the chiro affected the pregnancy last time (I know that's silly, but you know..)

JanieLovesLuckySocks · 21/08/2013 20:58

Hi Gary!! great to see/hear from you! hope you and your scrummy little guy are doing well! x

s;eep, have a lovely holiday x
