TTC grads - the one where the old temp buddies come home to roost!!!!

[rainbowdays]

The old thread was getting impossibly slow on my computer, so decided that it was time to create a new one with hopefully Rah and Ready joining us, and with a whole new due date list.....

so MrsM, Momwi - come and start the list and hopefully Rah and Ready will come here now too!!!!!

I am so excited that the temp buddies are back together again, can you tell?!?!?!?

Greedy - huge congrats on your finally being able to get officially excited about your sisters pregnancy. Did you get to see her scan pics yet? How is she? Shame you have your holiday booked for a potential arrival date!

I think that fb has killed mn!!!! I have tried asking honey and someone-else to be my friend, but finding it difficult to locate the rest of you.....

rainbow - i am julie jones in london with a pic of the 5 of us on my profile if you want to be my friend!! i dont have many on FB!
how are you feeling, i saw that af had arrived. i know you said you wanted a small gap this time too which is huge pressure isnt it? how long will you keep trying do you think? kind of hard to stop when you have started i would think?!

wow that was lots of info about me wasnt it..............i feel naked!

hi ladies

i have added 2 more of you (i think) (i hope) h and f?! i have put who i an anyway in a message.

hope everyones ok x

Hi all,

FB has killed it i think! I have got Chooster, Greedy, Iamamummy, Fettle - you've just added me whilst i typed this! Got Scorpio too.......i think i have asked honeyapple. Can someone do me a favour - you can suggest people for your friends, if you have people i dont, please can you suggest them to me?!

Thanks

Greedy - fabulous news about your sis!!!

Have to say that perhaps FB has been the end of this thread.....or else you are all off having fun somewhere else?

Hi - I'm here!!! Just been really busy - too busy for FB too . Just mad busy with work as got some big deadlines looming...

Hope FB doesn't kill off our thread - come on girls stick with us here

i will stick with this thread dont worry! where is everyone though?

Hi all, I am here too. I will not leave here, it feels like home here with you all.

Greedy - yep af came again. I am giving it this month definitely, but I have agreed with dh that we will rethink if it does not happen this time. Partly becasue I need to be preg by this month if I am going to be able to claim maternity benefit, without having to go back to work for months on end. I also am a little sad that the age gap will not be as close as I would have liked. It is a tough decision, but I am really of course waiting for you to join us on the other thread in ttc

Of course we are all waiting for Ready and Rah to join us too.... they must be here soon. I think it is time I went stalking them again, fancy coming with me to look for them greedy!!!

yeah, whats happened to ready hey? and bodders and seaside and cityangel again! pah! these people with lives! i dont know!!

Yes i too have wondered about Ready, she must be 20ish weeks now? Goodness!

rainbow, i hope oyu get your BFP this month, i wanted my October baby but thats not meant to be, still am hoping for an 09 baby but not holding out much hope, i guess im lucky that im a lazy SAHM so have no real pressure.

Greedy - we all know you will be there at one point on ttc#4!

Greedy - Fab news about your sister! Now you can officially get excited and start counting down the days until you become Auntie Greedy!

Rainbow - good luck for this month!

Hi everyone else! You've all clearly gone Facebook bonkers on here!

Chooster - you asked ages ago how Isla's talking is coming on...so I shall spout on proudly about it! She sang happy birthday to me yesterday (it WAS my birthday!) well, only the first line, but anyway... I don't really know how she knew it - I guess she had heard Nelly singing it and has been to a few parties now so has heard it there... I'm pretty sure she can say a lot more than Nelly could at this age. She knows most of the colours now, and generally gets them right. She also occasionally says something that sounds a bit like "bluddyell". Not sure what that could be

Crossed with you all there! No peer pressure to get on with No4 then Greedy!!

hey there bodders! i asked about islas talking too! what a little clever clogs you have there then! i think marcy is as thick as shit!!!!!!! obviously i love her dearly, but i dont think she is the smartest of babies!!!! ellis and kiki are both really smart (well, i think so anyway!) but marcy has obviously inherited her daddy's brains!!!

he would kill me if he saw me writing that! especially as its not true! (about him, not marcy........she really IS thick!!)

hello all

I still here. Poor toby really poorly still. He is fast asleep ok my lap currently. Hasn't done that since I stopped breast feeding. Luckily have tv remote in reach but heating is off and I'm freezing!

Bodders good to see you. Was going to email you to check you ok! How work going? Isla sounds very advanced with her talking. Toby says nothing! Generally get the idea of what he wants but no real words. Except maybe ball! Sure it will come with time!

Rainbow sorry to hear things not working out as you would like. Fingers crossed for this month.

Chooster. Poor you with work. Can't imagine banking industry best to be in at moment. Any more idea if redundancy on the cards?

No news on my interview yet. Not given up hope but not sure I want to go back yet. Especially with a snuggly boy on my lap!!!

Think rah and ready ok. Will tell them you asking after them.

Xxx

Hi Fettle! Hope Toby is feeling better soon, but then again, those poorly cuddles are quite nice aren't they! Glad to hear all is well with Ready and Rah,...even I had a quick snoop around for them last night!

Greedy - PMSL over your comments on poor Marcy! She'll be fine - she'll just come out in fluent sentences rather than going through all that painful one-word-repeated-endlessly at you until you work out WTF they are on about

Aw, poor Toby, whats up with him?? Although you obviously dont want him to be ill there is something nice anout snuggling up during the day with them. Hope he gets better soon .

Wow, Isla is a right little chatterbox! Theo and Marcy will be fighting for the title of dimmest baby on this thread I'm afraid . He still only says about half a dozen words and just squeaks and points til he gets what he wants the rest of the time. Not like Isla who is already singing .

Hope it all works out for you this month rainbow - do you think you could be happy if you stuck with 3 LO's or will you also feel like you would like another?

Good luck with the job fettle - when should you hear? It will feel strange to go back but its such a great job for having kids that it was definately worth going for. Fingers crossed

How is everyone else doing? Here things are great. Busy but great... The kids are doing well and DH and I are getting on really well after a slightly dodgy spell. Work is not exactly motivating though but it's not really bothering me. I'm still not sure about redundancy fettle. They are slowly working their way down the new company and its all people at my bosses boss level now who are re-applying for their jobs. It wont be long before it gets to my level although there are so many of us the lower down it gets that I dont know how they are going to manage the cut backs.

Anyway, speaking of work better go and do some - got loads of deadlines coming up - Grrrrr

Hi girls... have quickly skimmed through whats been happening...

Rainbow hope this is your month, are you sure you will be stopping at 4, by the sounds of it you and Scorpio could go more?!

scorpio sorry to see your news but I'm sure it will happen fairly quickly. Hope you are okay

greedy glad all is going well with your sister, very exciting to be an aunty! and I'm sure Marcy is not thick.... I think maybe they must get a bit lazier the further down the sibling run they are as the older ones do more for them! Hope you are okay and work is going well

Fettle sorry to hear Toby is poorly - hope he is on the mend soon... and great to see you trying to go back to work, good luck with the job hunting or that you get news of your interview soon!

Iam how is your job going and the pregnancy, when are you due ?

MrsMc hope all is well with you and the sickness has gone away for good...we are not in Spain this year as we have managed to rent out until December - which is great as save some money, although have booked to go away to Palma in the summer staying at a friend's apartment!

babylove hope little one is settling down into a routine and you are enjoying her..

Ready hope all is well with you - you should be in the lovely stage of pregnancy now.... come back soon

Rah saw that you are nearly at the 24 week mark and you are having a little girl - wonderful news! What is your due date ?

Chooster / honey - helloow - oops Bodkin too - hope all is well with you all....

Must have forgotten someone, can't think who... oh

Seaside how are you - any news for baby no. 2 for you ???

anyone else....? butter brain at the mo so apologies if I have missed anyone to say hello too...!

Well I am due to go in for my c-sec in one weeks time, can't wait to find out what it is, how much it weighs etc etc....
Anyway I must go - I haven't stopped all day and I want to chill out and watch mistressesfrom last night then get to bed ( was trying to be in bed by 10 tonight!!!)

Must dash will let you know next week... x

Hi Minxi - wow one week to go and you sound so calm!!!. Good luck with it all - can't wait to know what you are having either!! love a good birth story me!!

Greedy - realised I didnt' comment on poor old thickie Marcy - I'm sure she's not - bet she's laughing at you from inside and having full on conversations with her toys when you're not watching!! WAs it somenoe on here or someone in real life who told me about a toddler who as far as their parents were concerned didn't walk, but they then discovered that as soon as they left the room, she got up and walked around!!! They caught her at in through a crack in the door I think! Amazing, if it is true!

Toby just has another virus I think - GP said his rash was a non-descript viral rash - looks much worse than in sounds!! I took him in yesterday as he looked to be getting conjunctivitis again, but I was either wrong or the eye drops work instanteously as his eyes are perfectly clear again this morning. He was sick at bedtime on top of everything else as well as falling asleep on me again when we got back from the school run, so definitely very poorly! Hate seeing him like that, but I did secretly enjoy watching telly this afternoon being unable to move!!! He was very sweet!

Chooster - very pleased to hear that all is going well in the Chooster household. Is he still going to anger management? Toby is definitely with Theo on the grunting and pointing method of communication. He obviously understands loads and does everything that we ask of him mostly, but just doesn't seem interested in trying to form proper words yet. I'm sure it will come in time.

Right - trying to have an early night. Being woken twice last night was a bit of shock! Not sure how I'm going to cope when DH moves away, he currently nearly always goes to DD when she wakes up which is nearly every night, but I get Toby, who up until last nigt hadn't woken for as long as I can remember! I need my sleep!!!

DH ordering me to sleep - best go!!

hi ladies

minxi - wow 1 week to go!! cant wait to hear your birth story!!!

hows everyone else? just bumping us quickly as we are going off the chart!

feeling pretty peed off this morning, been working all week and its payday today, just checked the bank and i have not been paid - what a great impression that gives me of my new employer eh?!

we are off to dp sisters soon. should be slightly awkward as she did not even awknowledge ds 1st birthday! no card, pressie or even a phone call and its not been mentioned since, i am fuming!

have good weekends everyone!! xx

1 cipriani cocktail
1 pint of cobra
2 glasses of red wine
1 glass of rose wine
2 glasses of white wine
2 more cocktails called something fancy!

do you think that was too much alcohol last night?
do you think that is the reason i am feeling like complete crap today and was still pissed when i got up at 11am?
do you think my dh is fantastic for looking after the kids today while i feel like a pile of poo? i think i owe him big time!

hope everyone is feeling better than me today and having lovely weekends

Oooh Greeds, talk about mixing your drinks! Well done DH . Take it you had a good night out?

Maybe a tad excessive greeds but good on your dh. He certainly deserves some credit. I'm not sure mine would have been so understanding but then I'm so unsympathetic when he's hung over!!! I can't criticize though as I'm having a very strong rum and coke while waiting for dh and dd to get back from a swimming and pizza party. Quite late in my opinion but no doubt fun! Dh will want to watch the recorded rugby when he gets back but he's off tom eve for 4 nights and I want a nice eve!

Bodders keep meaning to ask. Do u fancy meeting up again? Not sure when but I'll email u if I remember!!

Come back and post everyone I miss you!! Can u tell the rum is working!!!
Xxx

ooh crossed with u chooster. Hope u ok?
