Hope that chart is right girls, you might want to all check it... Angel, it's not so easy huh?!

Hi all - ok so ive noticed that you having a few problems with the chrts! it must be sooo much hard work!! - im correct BTW.

Anyhow, im a bit of an excel geek and think i have come up with a way in which excel will just give us our updated 'days left', 'how far gone we are' etc automatically. It still needs a bit of working on, which as the spreadsheet is in work i can only finish on Monday - so if everyone would please let me know there date of LMP (as this is used as a calculation to work out due date) - if your due date has been changed or isnt exactly 40weeks before your LMP let me know and i will work out when your LMP would of been based on that date. I hope this all makes sense!

It might not work yet, but i have done it with my own dates and it seems OK - i could then email it to yyou all so you all have your own record as it will automatically update daily and anyone can then post a chart!

How does this sound for everyone? If it even makes sense hehe!

Love kirsten xxx

LOL at you being an Excel geek!! I work with some of them, funny lot ahahaha

Good plan though Kirsten, it'll be an easy job then - my LMP was Thurs 25 October

Sezzy well done on doing the chart. Its a nightmare with all the colour codes isn't it!

Kirsten thanks for offering to do an excel chart. Can't give you my proper LMP as my cycles are long and irrugular but i think based on ovulation if I count 14 days back then it would have been Sat 10th Nov. Should give you a due date of 15th Aug, just adjust it if not as due date is based on my dating scan.

Sezzy thanks for doing chart

Kirsten think mine was 1st of nov should give due date of 7 of august thank you

Hi girls, how are you all?

Just polished off a tea of chicken stuffed with mozarella and wrapped in Parma ham (which is ok if it's cooked apparently), sweet potato mash, green beans and a creamy pepper sauce, washed down with a triple-chunk Bounty... mm-mmm! My DH is really spoiling me tonight!!

how are your weekends going?

xx

Hi girlies.
Back form a lush weekend away and am very tired.
So this afternoon dh has gone to watch rugby and i am going to be lazy and chill out on the sofa for the rest of the day!
My week off is over and i am back to work tomorrow so i am not impressed but i only have 6 more weeks to work then i get 9 months off so i can't complain.
Me and dh popped to mothercare a while ago and ordered or nursery furniture!
We went for Westbury cotbed,wardrobe and changing drawer so it will be here within 5 days.
We are debating on whether we need the tallboy but i think we are going to go for that aswell.

Angel- Naughty little man being breech but there is still plenty of time for him to turn isn't there?
And oh my god 10lb 7oz that'll bring tears to your eyes!

Babyno5- Hope you are ok after your fall?
Also do you find that the iron tablets give you diarrhoea i am getting it about 3 times a day and am a bit sick of it now!

Kate- I wouldn't worry about breech until the last minute.
My little man was breech against my back for my midwife the other day and for my scan he was head to maternal right or so they put it.
They have a good old move around in there but i think most tend to turn in the end.

Sezzy- This was our last break away just the 2 of us!
But my MIL lives on the Isle of Wight so we can have a break there if we need it soon after he comes.
And oh my god woman 36G they are ones to be proud of shame we don't get to keep these porn boobs forever isn't it!
Sounds like you are giving up work about the same time as me i can't wait either but am a little nervous about leaving for so long but i suppose we won't care when the babies come will we!

Kirsten- Hark at the computer whizz i don't know what the hell that all means and how you will do it as i am so not good with computer's.
But my LMP was 19th October.

Right then i'm knackered hence the short and sweet's but is anyone getting slightly scared about the amount of time we have left and more to the point how much there is too get with such little money!
It never seems like we have enough to cover everything even though we are really fortunate and have had family buy a lot.
Me and dh have tried to plan and sort out the finances but it all seems to be such an underestimation!

Hope all the rest of the gang is ok and sorry if i haven't mentioned you but i hope you are ok?
Lots of love.
Amy. xxx

amy- yes unfortunately i know exactly where you are coming from with the iron tabs, despite my Dr warning me that they'd make me constipated! Oh and i am still way behind all of you with buying baby stuff, all we have is one babygrow!!!!

Hi ladies, just a quickie as trying to get all packed up ready to go to Center Parcs tomorrow.
No sign of chicken pox yet so fingers crossed although Ben is very grumpy today, he's hit the tantrums big time recently.

Had my 4d scan today, little madam just wasn't co-operating, she was breech and bent double with her legs up covering her face and feet on her head lol. So we went for a walk and some chocolate and juice and she'd still not moved much so off we went again for lunch. She'd moved a bit and we got a couple of pic's but she still had arms and legs everywhere!!! she did lots of yawning which was cute and she's the image of Ben, looking at his 4d scan you'd think they were the same baby. But the main thing is she's healthy and we got to see her girl bits lol. Will post the best 2 pic's in a mo, also posted a bump pic yesterday.

Back next weekend, have a good week everyone x x x

Babyno5- I have heard that the iron makes you constipated but i have the other problem trust me to be different!

Kate- Sounds like your little one behaved as well as mine did.
Like you said though the main point of the scan is to see what they are up to in there and we did.
Even pics of arms legs and feet are brilliant to look at.
One of mine pics he is tucked up facing away in a ball but it is lush cause i can see his whole little body!

Off for a nice bath now girls and dh home soon so we are going to beg out for the evening before my week off is well and truly over!
Love Amy. xxxxx

just testing ticker

Kate - I'm a bit late here but have a fab hol!! Glad Ben stayed well. Will you be hoping he gets the pox once the hol is done though? It's so much easier when they're little. My sister's 18month old just got it and it hardly bothered her, whereas my sister and I got it when she was 15 and I was 17 and it was the worst!

Amy and Kate, your scans sound fab even though your babies were playing up bless them. Am so jealous! But as we're not finding out the séx of the baby, it kinda doesn't make much sense having a 3D scan.

Hi Babyno5, how's the SPD? And how are you doing with positions for getting bubs in the right position?

HI to the rest of you who haven't been on since my last long (VEEEERRRRY long!) post/ Hope you are all well

AS for me, I had a real taste of what's to come last night - two lots of two hours sleep and that was it. I had a really big meeting on today, plus Beanie was being really really active, plus I had a late lunch/early tea at 3:30pm which meant I woke up at 3:30am absolutely starving hungry. So all in all, I had two two hour sleeps, as I said. Sleepwalked my way through the big client meeting/presentation today. TWice the client asked me questions that I just didn't understand and my boss had to bail me out. Not so good.

Ah well, that's over with now anyway! And I then planned my workload for the 6 weeks and 3 days I have left in work - it is going to fly by as I'm really busy.

I'll do the chart now - hope you are all well.

xx
