hiya just a quickie as have had a couple of days off work so mega much to catch up on today!!

Munchkin's birthday was fab - took her down to this indoor play area thing in romford and she loved the space to crawl up and around in - launching herself down slides!! No fear at all!! Dont' know who was more knackered by the end of it tho!! and my dad visited for a couple of days which was lovely but hard work having rellies to stay!!!

Can't believe she's one though- that time has gone so quickly!! Will post some piccies on msn when I have a sec, promise!
Just a few catch ups

Ellie - so pleased that all seems ok with bubba from your scan! Hurrah!! you can relax now and 'enjoy' your pregnancy!!!

Ange - yes, 2 stone in a day!! I put on 4 stone last time I was pregnant No idea why - this time I've only put on about 8lbs whereas first time round by this point I'd put just over a stone! Feeling much less fat this time round!! just goes to show that you really don't have much control over weight gain!

jenni - sorry to hear about your splints and cherie poor you having injections and iron tabs. at least it'll get rid of the migraines!by the way, iron tabs can really bung you up, so lots of prunes, water, fibre, etc to keep you going!!!!

Lisa - pumps don't hurt at all once you get used to them. You need to perservere with them though - first few times you only get a few drips out while your body gets used to it. After a while you get a decent amount of milk out. I'm not sure if the electric ones are worth the extra money though - I had a hand-held one and my friends with electric ones seemed to have the same problems!!! It also feels really stupid first few times, putting this thing up to your boobs - you really do feel like a cow. Ha ha the NCT catalogue sells these "express shirts" have a look

it really made me laugh. AS IF anybody in their right mind would sit at home in front of the TV looking like that and not feel a complete idiot???

RJ sorry you are having your dog rehomed but it's probably for the best with a baby on the way. My mum's got a border collie and they need so much exercise and stimulation otherwise they go mad. Hers is as bonkers as I don't know what....

anyway best go, bit of a marathon post
love
Loocy xx

lisa hope you feel better soon sweetie.

a wee tip for those who keep losing long posts, it's happened to me a fair few times and dh suggested typing it in word processor then paste it on the thread, not actually done it that way yet, but must be a bit less frustrating than losing everything.

where is everyone today, hope you are all well and have a nice weekend, i only have to work tomorrw then off for a week, woohoo

Hi ladies

Sorry no personals today as not feeling very well, got splitting sore head!

OMG Jenni I see what you mean about black poo!!! Disgusting and scary!!!

Quick question...

Is it unlucky to have your pram in the house before baby is born? I am in process of ordering mine and wasnt sure if I should deliver it to my house or my mums????

Just ordered my pram and it got it delivered to my Mums just to be on the safe side

good morning ladies!! hope you an bumps are well!

dh is at work this morning till 12 so me and dd are just slobbing it on the sofa watching pepper pig and dora the explorer hahaha

well poppy went to our friends yesterday we were all very upset except dd but i dont thin she really nknew what was going on she thinks poppy has gone on holiday haha. got up this morning and house felt very diffrent without her dh gonna get rid of her bed and toys today cu i cant bring myself to do it (wet blanket i know lol)

I've got a scan tomorrow at 2.10 to check the level of my waters (low waters was one of the problems i had with dd) apparently they are now gonna scan me every 4 weeks jjust to keep an eye. im not complaining its always lovely to see stanley .

cherie- i think the whole pram thing is superstision so i think it depends on how supersticious you are. me and dh had the debate of storing stuff at my nans but then thought stanley is having mainley ellie-may's stuff so technicly its already been in the house. what pram did you ordered? have the tablets and injectins started working for you yet?

ange/nik- dh has twisted my arm and we are joining you in the Silvercross 3d gang. we went to look again yesterday spent ages wiht each pram (who would of thought this decision woud be so hard lol) and decided it is the better pram. only down side is maybe not having as much boot space but as dh pointed out when you go food shopping you dont have to take the pushchair you could take the car seat and put it on those special thinkgs on top of the trolley of you can take baby out and usse a carrrier thing. it made sense. will be getting mine febuary.

lisa- hope you feeling better today

hope all of you have had a good weekend willc atch up again tomorrow

racharl-jade

my god ive just read back my post and my spelling is terrible. note to myself to read before i click the post now button.

morning all, had a lovely long lie this morning, dh still in bed!!! it was my fil's 50th bday party last night so didn't get home until 1am, dh was too drunk to come to bed so god knows what time that was. had a really nice time, even though i did no drinking or dancing, my bump got alot of attention from all the inlaws and they are all confinced i am having a girl!! (they all just have a feeling).

rach-jade yay to joined the 3d club, it is a fab pram, what colour did you get? have a good scan tomorrow.

cherie, hope your feeling better soon (((hugs))) it is meant to be bad luck to have your pram in house but i don't care about stuff like that i reguarly walk under ladders ect, so i have my pram in the house, did you get the 3d? what colour?

happy birthday ali
hope your having a lovely day honey and getting spoilt rotten

Hello girls!

Happy birthday Ali! Hope its been a good one

Ive been pain-free and problem-free all weekend, and feel wonderful for it!

Happy Birthday Ali hope you had a great day!

Rachael - I ordered the silvercross 3d pram system, its definately the nicest one I have seen. Im still getting headaches and feeling tired all the time but dr said it will probably take a couple of weeks to get my levels back to normal. Hope your scan goes well tomorrow.

Nic - Yeah I got the 3d in jet black from Mothercare, seem to be alot of us getting the same

Jenni - Glad to hear your feeling better

If anyone is ordering anything from Mothercare I found a couple of codes online to get a discount...

10% off a minimum spend of £120 code - AF8
£15 off minimum spend of £100 code - HX7

Im not sure when these expire but I used the top one to order my pram yesterday (which was already on sale) and saved a further £25!!
