2010 Bumps & Flushes & Dimples

[MrsMils]

Caught up on posts now...

Claire - have they said anything at work today? They have a duty to respond to requests legally, I think its within 28 days, but would have to check. If they are being like this with you then just do the minimum, don't go above and beyond to make it easy for them etc.

Moggy - pleased you're feeling a little better today, hope your mum being there is helping . If she's in Norwich in the next couple of weeks, get her to pop into Blooming Marvellous, their closing down sale gets better, today I bought a cardigan, feeding top and a vet top, all for £12!!

Costgang, glad they are keeping an eye on you, please don't google - it never makes you feel better!!!

Lia - what car are you planning to get then? How exciting!

Brig - not long now, the days will fly by and I'm sure once you're on leave you'll feel a bit better, I know how much it helped me.

Car service has cleared me out, brakes needed doing, so £450 out of the account today. Grrr. Def a reason to consider staying as a one car household Ann!

Moggy - Hope you're feeling better today hun...and that mum is making sure you have pleanty of rest

Costgang - Sorry about the scan.....like the others have said...if they we're concered thay would have got you back sooner for a scan or done some tests. Massive

Ann - I also feel that ive been lucky this pregnancy..the only thing that gets me is tiredness...but that comes from running after a 14 month sold who wakes up at 5.30 past 4 days

Brig - Being on Mat leave and having time to relax does make you feel better.....i know how you feel...im just looking forward to losing some weight and wearing non stretchy jeans Oh...and i love it when LO has hiccups...it always makes me smile...dont get them as much as when i carried Jac though...

Lydia - Gutted about the car bills ....i love having a car but the cost of running the damn things are far too expensive.

Pip - I'm getting a fair bit of BH this time too....especially when i'm walking somewhere...weird It feels like heaven when i take my bra off at night

Yas - You ok??

Cant really do anything legally with work as i only requested my manager to finish early. I have an annual leave book but cant prove when i requested it. I wanted to finish next wednesday but there's something mega urgent to get done thurs afternoon.....so i'm going to ask for a decision tomorrow and offer to work the thursday afternoon in return to get the following week off. I pretty much know my manager is doing what he can but also looking after his own ar*e (has to justify to senior manager!), and if i dont get a result i will go to the doctor and get signed off and he knows it.
Trying not to stress about it as am already tired.

I'm thinking of making a fortune and inventing the pregnancy mirror...it makes you look gorgeous and sexy no matter what size you are

[Fish&Chips]

He he Claire! I would buy that!

 

[pinkandfluffy]

Put me down for a pregnancy mirror

 

[Jetters]

And me!!! I don't even have a mirror in my flat- I have one at head height for doing my hair and that's it. It drives Garry barmy. I get a right shock though when I catch myself in changing room mirrors or windows etc though...

 

[costgang]

Hi ladies :flower

Costgang - Good luck wiht the house move...make sure you have enough rest and dont over do it

It's really quiet in here today? Are you all ok?
Yas...you feeling better?
Moggy.....weird you not being on....has moglet decided to make an appearance?

Still no definite answer in work if i can finish next week..verbally its likely but not on paper When i get asked tomorrow how i am......usual morning question.....i'm going to say i'm exhausted and running on empty...which is true....with the hope he does somethign about it. Will see....
There's been a small thunderstrom here.......Jac is sleeping and hubby is at work...so was aall alonea nd cr@pping myself glad its over now,

Ugh!! Selfish post but I am so annoyed right now...pregnancy hormones I'm sure...but anyway here is my little blurb.

I had a MW meeting today at 2pm. Yesterday at work I found out the girl that was suppose to teach for me this afternoon was sick so I called ALL our replacements and nobody could come in and teach for me SOOOO I made all the changes required to the schedule so I could leave at 1pm, come home eat and head to the MW at 2pm.
So that's what I did today...I get to the MW's office and the door is locked with a note on the door for a Tina saying she was at a birth and didn't have her local number so couldn't call. Well why the hell didn't she call me!?? she has my number!? I mean I know that's how it is with Midwives...when there's a baby being born they have to be there...but it would have been nice to get a cancellation call. So anyway I called from my cellphone and said I was supposed to have a meeting at 2pm but noone is there so to call me back with a new time and I gave them the times I was available.

Like I said....so annoying!!

Sorry I didn't catch up on the posts. I have been really cranky the last few days.
Hope everyone is well.

Good luck with the move costgang, I hope it all goes smoothly and you get settled in quickly, make sure you take it easy!!

Hi Claire! I can't believe we're 33 weeks, it finally feels like I'm getting somewhere! Glad you survived the storm - thats when I make the dog cuddle up on the sofa with me - not that she'll protect me from the lightning, but it makes me feel better!!

I hope you get the answer you want tomorrow morning, don't just be honest about how exhausted you are, exaggerate, it can't hurt!

I'm hoping Moggy is just chilling out and spending time with her Mum, but even better if Moglet has decided to put in an appearance!

I've had an admin day and got lots sorted. Off to have bloods checked for iron levels in the morning, here's hoping they can take the blood a bit easier this time!!

 

[Jetters]

I'm having a really tough time with my hands/pregnancy woes etc at the moment, and to top it off have had a horrible fall out with bloody Garry but will catch up with you all asap xxxx

 

[penguin77]

Lydia - I know what you mean ... it feels like that BFP was yesterday but it was last xmas
I hope i get some sort of decision tomorrow....either way...the longer he keeps me hanging the more determined i am to get signed off by docs. I'm knackered now...especially when it comes to wednesday after doing 3 days of work and Jac.....

Hope your blood draw is easy hun.......OMG another thunder storm ...lets hope tis a one off
PIllow at the ready...

Oh...ive texted moggy and had no reponse yet.

Must have been a one off...

Forgot...had a funny moment in work today. A friend came up to me and said that a girl i know had asked her if i was pregnant

I can belive it...... if i was around 20 weeks maybe....but it's been so obvious for ages.....and i see her and say hi all the time....

I'm not sure if i should feel insulted ..she probably thought i was getting fat LOL

[penguin77]

Moggy is ok...no sign of moglet..

[Fish&Chips]

to Yas, Claire & Brigitte. Blimen swollen hands, MWs and work!

Costgang good luck with the move hun!

Moggy, hope Moglet does join us all soon.

P&F and all you other lovely ladies x

 

[pinkandfluffy]

Costgang - good luck with the move get your feet up as often as you can!

Claire - that is really pants about work.......def make sure they are aware how much you are struggling they should be making it easier for you I feel pretty lucky with my lot now, my team were so good at trying to take work off me to help me finish my handover. Would definitely be tempted to make them aware you can just get signed off if they don't pull their finger out............

Brigitte that is rotten too - it is just courtesy to call and I would be cross too

Yas hun sending you hugs we are here when you can get on - hope you feel better soon - on all fronts!!!!

Happy 33 weeks (just over and just under!) to lots of you lol!!! It does seem like yesterday since the BFP.......mental.

I have had a lovely day with DH he had an interview over near a shopping outlet so dropped me off there and met me back for lunch. He has treated me to a lovely charm bracelet which I love, and is now working hard with his dad to finish more DIY in the house

Glad moggy is okay too though I'm sure moglet will be the first to appear of them all!!!!!

Evening all!

 

[penguin77]

Brig - Awww.....sorry you had a rotten day hun....

Hi ladies,

Glad Moggy is okay and is just taking it easy.

MamaBird, can't blame you for being annoyed. I know it is nothing major, but last week the MW didn't call the centre at all to let us know she wasn't going to show up for swimming. I know they can be busy, but at least a phone call, don't you think?

MrsMils, good luck with the bloods tomorrow.

Jetters, . Hope you sort things out. We are here for you if you need us.

Claire, good luck for tomorrow, but do what you have to to get some rest if they won't let you.

F&C,

P&F, sounds like you had a lovely day. Did you drive at all today?

Costgang, good luck with the move and take it easy.

As for us: We also need to get packed up now as we are moving next Friday. Following Monday we will get a phone line installed as there was never one in the house although there have previously been tenants in there. I mean, come on, who doesn't have a phone line these days? And the annoying thing is that you can't order the broadband until you have an active phone line. And from ordering the broadband to the actual connection, it can take anything up to 15 days. So I might be offline for over 2 weeks. By the time I come back on, lots of you will have already had their babies.
