Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[Kaybee]

It depends on how much you want the house. If someone else bought the house for what he's looking for, would you regret not offering that? If you definitely would, I'd just offer it and secure yourself the house.

If you wouldn't be too bothered about someone else buying the house, then don't offer more than what you think the house is worth.

I was going to say this too.

I just found the baby's heartbeat using the Doppler was just about to go to sleep when I thought I would give it a try again was lovely hearing it Stephen got to listen too which was amazing for him because he's never heard a fetal heart rate before

 

[bbymc]

Aw that's awesome lj. Bet Stephen was chuffed!!

Yeah, that's my thinking with the house. The guy is getting a report done on the conditions of the roof and and estimate of repair costs so I think we will wait to see that and then reoffer the full house value. We know that's happening on Monday so probably make our final offer on Tuesday xx

Bbymc aw I thot the guy wud bit ur hand off for any offer the way the market is the now. X

Lj thts great Hun wot dopplar u got?xx

 

[Kaybee]

How exciting lj. I thought about getting a doppler but think I would get a bit obsessive with one.

Well after making it back to work yesterday I had to phone in sick today. I was sick this morning but also woke up with a horrendous red sore swollen eye. Just been to the doc as a few months ago I got a cold sore on my eyelid and was worried it was the same. Doc thinks its a stye as no sign of a rash so just to keep bathing it and go back if a rash appears or it doesn't improve. I just need to hibernate I think

 

[bbymc]

Aww kaybee, you seem to be having such a tough time! I hope it eases off soon so you don't suffer the whole time! I ha a style once. Was only small but it was so painful! I got drops though. Would the doc not give you any?

I'm gonna start back at work next week. I really dunno how I'll cope cos I have had lots of good days but then also, some horrendous days in the last 2 weeks. If its like that, there will be days that I'll definitely struggle to go in! I'm looking forward to going back though and hopefully I'll be fine. I'll probably be exhausted, but I can just go to bed mega early lol xx

 

[CherylC3]

Aw ladies u are so lucky to be off I'm so ill and I start at 2 and nd to go to Sally's or stock then get some food I'm so sick today. Xx

 

[lj2245]

I had my booking appt this morning. Was booooooring! She did go on about my weight though, as if I didn't already know I was overweight lol.

Went to see a house today with my Dad. It's perfect for us all, 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Just need to work out if we can afford it! It would help if I had a job!

Your eye sounds painful KB! Have you to bathe it in salt water?

 

[bbymc]

God, lj, that house sounds HUGE!! Lol!

That's a shame you need to work Cheryl! Hopefully you're near the end of your sicky time and you'll be full of energy in the 2nd trimester! Xx

 

[lj2245]

I am full of beans today! Currently gutting out my kitchen cupboards. Then I'm off to tesco.

Just had a dodgy scam phone call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft, saying I had critical errors on my computer system. Indian accent and sounded like it was from a busy call centre. I told her she could get knotted as I knew it was a scam. Microsoft don't call people regarding their computers lol. I called Microsoft to report it and apparently it happens all the time! What usually happens is the victim is asked to allow online access to their computer and then the scammer tells them they have critical errors and can fix it for a fee, then ask for credit or debit card details. I cannot believe anyone would fall for that!

Saying that, My Dad totally would.

If you get a call, tell them to beat it lol!

Anyway, how are you all today?

 

[Kaybee]

Aww lj glad to hear that someone has some energy. I'm just my usual miserable self with a sore eye. Did make it in to work today but time is going sloooow.

We have had a few of those calls although its always DH that gets them he usually tries to wind them up a bit. A few months ago though my MIL fell for this and think she was conned out of £ 70 or something and then had to pay to get someont to check/fix her computer. DH was mad at her for falling for it but she just believed the guy on the phone

 

[bbymc]

God. Some poor people will get totally ripped off with that! Just as well you knew it was a scam! I usually get sucked in until they ask for details and then I tell them to piss off lol.

I'm not feeling too bad today. My abdominal muscles are quite achey today. Not sure how a baby bump starts to grow but it feels like my upper abdomen (like under my boobs) is sticking out a bit more than usual. It feels weird. I hope it's normal lol. Xx

 

[lj2245]

Yeah lol mine is the same. It's your uterus pushing all your insides up You should start to feel the top of your uterus above your pubic bone soon. It's like having a melon inside you lol.

Your poor MIL. Did she report it? I don't know how these people can sleep at night.

 

[Kaybee]

I am getting a decent size bump going now. I will try take a pic to show you guys over the weekend

Yeah she reported it to the police and the bank as she was worried about them having her bank details so had to get her cards cancelled too. Think because it was a credit card they were looking into refunding her but not sure if that happened or not. I don't like to mention it to her as she feels so bad about it all.

 

[lj2245]

Poor soul Someone used my stolen bank card to buy loads of stuff from Asda online and the bank refunded my money so she should have got it back.

Looking forward to seeing your photo

 

[bbymc]

If its bank of Scotland, they are good at repaying money that's been taken through fraud. Someone took £700 out my account and they repaid it within an hour of me reporting it. That's still a shame for your MIL though. Must be hard to tell people you fell for the scam!

Thanks lj, that's good to know its normal. I just thought it was a bit weird cos I don't have any bump or anything. I can't feel anything when I feel my belly. Dunno what it's meant to feel like right enough lol.

I'm looking forward to seein ur pic kaybee. I took one at 4 weeks and one at 5 weeks. Wanted to do one every week but then morning sickness kicked in and I could barely get out of bed let alone take pics of my belly lol. I plan to take one on Monday though when I'm twelve weeks to compare lol xx

 

[lj2245]

I can just about feel it the past day or so but I've been getting terrible cramps so I guess it's getting ready to do something lol. I'm carrying a lot more weight this time than I was with Shaun so I guess it will be a lot harder to feel than it was last time.

I started to feel sick again over the past hour or so. Had to postpone my trip to Tesco. Damn. That's what I get for saying I was feeling good!!

It was Bank of Scotland who refunded me too

 

[bbymc]

I feel like someone has been punching my abdomen all night. Talk about achey!! How are you all? Xx

 

[lj2245]

Me too lol! I have stretchy pains like someone has ripped up my muscles down the sides.

 

[bbymc]

Lol, mine has died down a bit now. Thank goodness. Just away up town with my mum to try and get some new bras and trousers. Been everywhere in Edinburgh except princes st in attempt to find maternity stuff so fingers crossed we have success today. Otherwise I have no idea what I'm wearing to work next week lol. You to your next scan date yet? Mine is on Tuesday. Can't bloody wait lol xx
