[Mommabrown]

Woohoo Conundrum! Welcome to team pink!!!

Oh kealz194 i swear once we were on the count down it seemed like forever for the u/s to get there! Can't wait to hear what you are having either!!

Doggylover it was hard they were crying and not wanting to go back but they know i love them and that it is up to them to tell the judge the truth of the matter and then he will decide what is best.

 

[Mommabrown]

Bitsy Sarah, sorry i know nothing about platlets either


Mommabrown so glad you got to see your children this weekend, do you have any idea when the hearing will be? i so hope it all gets sorted before xmas for you.



AFM, Had a nice day visiting a friend with my LO. Got home and had tea and a desert of pancakes and oh my! have eaten way too many! Fit to burst but no doubt in an hour or so il be chumping chocolate, im so bad right now!
Mums having DS overnight on wed, picking him up about lunchtime and dropping him back the following afternoon so a bit of a break for me and OH, we are gonna go and see skyfall and maybe blitz some of the xmas shopping. The most important thing will be a lay in though!

Yes on the 26th of this month. Two long weeks....

Oh I was this way last night just eating eating eating. I hope you and OH have a great break way from DS and wonderful date night!!! Sounds like you have it all figured out!

 

[melissasbump]

Mommabrown lol yes got it figured out but not in the way OH would like lol! When we have a break i like to make the most of it and get stuff done thats not easy to do with DS but OH has other ideas...

 

[doggylover]

Conundrum congrats on !!! And glad to hear that LO is healthy and happy in there!

Melissa sounds like you will have a great day/night on Wednesday- a nice relaxed day with oh

Mommabrown you know your kids will tell the truth, and judges can see through any lines that a kid has been fed. Hopefully I'm 2 weeks your family will be back together.

Weirdly...my butt muscles are really sore today! When we were walking the dogs I felt like my butt was about to give way!! So random!

 

[Mommabrown]

Oh doggylover i am sorry your butt muscles are sore! Crazy that they are hurting!

I feel bad i cooked a roast with potatoes and carrots and have actually started eating before Dh and Ds have even came home!

 

[kealz194]

Aw I feel your pain doggylover, my thigh muscles killed yesterday! For no reason! Hope ou feel better, maybe a hot soak in the bath!?
I don't blame you mommabrown if your hungry your hungry! I'm not feeling at all well today so my oh said he would cook! Took so long I was actually sick from hunger, and the bile (sorry tmi) burnt my throat so when I did finally eat I didn't enjoy it at my throat hurts now so I say eat when you need to lol!!! They can have it warmed up! an I'm sure they won't mind x

 

[Conundrum]

@kealz194: Thank you very much, and I wish you all of the luck in the world. I know from my own experience I was a nervous wreck of anticipation the last week. It makes it worth it though. Good luck and I hope you receive whatever gender you are wanting.

Mommabrown: Thank you very much, I appreciate it . I hope you week goes well and you enjoy your downtime.

Doggylover: Thank you! I do hope your muscles work themselves out, weired cramping is always fun, lol.

 

[Mommabrown]

Oh kealz sorry your not feeling well. I just recently got an appetite back and i am hungry before i know it. I hope you get to feeling better.

 

[doggylover]

Oh doggylover i am sorry your butt muscles are sore!

thank you! Not something I ever thought I'd be talking about with other people! Oh pregnancy! And I was sooo hungry when I got home today.luckily dh was home before me and had made dinner AND lunch for tomorrow. It was great!

Kealz that sounds awful sorry you are having a miserable day.

 

[ukgirl23]

omg doggylover I laughed so hard at ''pram porn!'' I do enjoy a bit of pram porn myself LOL xx

After my afternoon nap I got asked by a friend to pick her little girl up from school, I usually dont mind but it's becoming very often now. She said she was just going to look at a car but she was gone for 3 hours!!! I had to walk 3 kids home from school and OH goes to work at 4 so I was alone with 3 children all 6 and under trashing my once tidy flat and arguing over someone cheating at snakes and ladders until they lost the dice... :/ And to top it off I needed a poo but I knew as soon as I sat on the toilet her mum would knock on the door. I had cramps for aaaages lol.

 

[ReadytoMum]

conundrum: Congrats on team pink!! I've only got 3 weeks left to go now before DH and I get to find out!!

ukgirl: Sorry you keep getting stuck helping out with childcare. That's not cool. Like you said, it's no big deal once and a while, but if it's becoming a regular habit maybe you'll have to talk to her about it. You're supposed to be trying to take it easy... and that's got to be hard enough with your own two LO's let alone someone else's too!!

doggylover: Pram porn? bahahaha I love you ladies. I haven't really started looking at buggies yet, because I know it's going to be an involved process and I just don't have the time to start right now, because once I start, I won't want to stop until I've decided!

mommabrown: I'm so glad you got to visit with your kids, and I'm so hopeful for you that after the 26th things will be back to the way they should be. Hang in there lady.

kealz: sorry to hear you're not feeling well! My day started off pretty yucky too. I got sick this morning, but thankfully it was before breakfast so nothing to come up but bile. Not sure what set it off either... it was pretty random.

melissabump: Sounds like a lovely short-break coming up! I say give-er on the Christmas shopping! I started mine today, and I'm about half done! I hate dealing with malls (and the people in them!) in Decemeber... so I always try to get done early.

Hope everyone is doing ok today!

 

[doggylover]

Lol, honestly I just google pictures of all different prams all the time! I prefer three wheelers it has to be said

Readytomum I have been checking out prams for years...it all started when I was collecting a little one from school in 2008 and saw a mum with a three wheeled quinny. Have been in love with them ever since! Until I saw the my3 and it was like the quinny plus some for me....cue heavy breathing!!! But when I got my BFP I did spend some serious time just making sure that it really was the right type of pram for us, some serious research on kiddicare and which? was done!

I know this makes me a huge weirdo

 

[ukgirl23]

@doggylover!! LOL I like the big pump up wheels for rough terrain, totally does it for me!

Readytomum, thank you! yeah my OH tells me all the time to say no but I didn't want her little girl to be sitting alone in school waiting for her mum for hours after everyone had gone home. It's really tiring looking after other people's kids, you can't tell them off as much as you can your own lol. Trying to tell her nicely 15 times not to throw to dice was becoming exhausting You would think being pregnant she would give me a break!! guess again! If she asks me again I'll have a word I guess xx

 

[Bjs2005]

Conundrum, congrats on team pink!!!

Mommabrown, that's great you got to see your kids! I couldn't imagine having to be away from them for so long. Hopefully time will fly until the 26 and they will come home to their momma!

As for strollers, I am torn on what to get. There are two I really like, one is a complete travel system with the stroller, car seat and base. The other is a three wheeled one that is really great for jogging. I want both!

Afm, I didn't have to go into work today and absolutely loved it. Besides my full time job I do some side independent contract work for a company that is all done from my home computer. I spent the day working on assignments for them and still had the freedom to do other things at home if needed. I loved it! I could definitely work from home full time, too bad I can't find a job that will pay as much as a go to work type job...maybe one day...

 

[doggylover]

Bjs very jealous of your working from home day! Sounds lovely! My dh works one day a week from home and I get so mad that I have to get up early and he doesn't

Ukgirl I am also all about the all terrain wheels...luckily the my3 has all 3 like that!

 

[kealz194]

Ooh I love kiddiecare doggylover! They are such good value as well! Injustice bought a group 123 carseat for Paige for £30 and its brilliant! Last till she is 11! That kind of car seat is £60+ everywhere else! I was like that with everything! I knew everything I wanted from ages ago as worked in mothercare I knew all the best products that I wanted lol!!!
Weird question, my belly is hurting and my belly button is so sore even just to touch it, feels like someone is sticking their finger in way too far! Does anyone else have this? X

 

[Mommabrown]

Hey Kealz I was feeling this last week. When i gave my OB a call he said it is just uterus growing and it actually went away after a few days.

Doggy lover DH and I can't agree on any strollers and it is driving me nuts. Usually when looking he tells me what he also like since he does push it too but nope nothing. He won't even budge.

Well Ex husbands family is doing everything they can to be snoopy! They all keep friend requesting me on FB and you would think since we haven't talked in 8 years that they would get the idea i don't want to be friends with them. So i push not now and don't know them. Ha Ha idiots!

 

[kealz194]

Thanks momma brown! I'm glad I'm not the only one! It's horrible! Doesn't help that I'm feeling rough too, cannot shake this blasted head ache!!! I hope you get your kiddies back soon mommabrown, I couldn't imagine not having my Paige with me! Fxed for you xxxxx

 

[Mommabrown]

Thank you! It is definitely hard...he never wanted them and now he is doing this...oh well i am very positive we have a great chance of getting them back.

It does hurt even when you move or bend over oh i am glad that it does go away! These pregnancy headaches are the worst! I hope you get to feeling better!

Hello Ladies,

Just caught up on all the activity and overall it looks like everyone is doing ok

So excited to read all the gender reveals that have happened and the ones that are coming up soon!!!!
Its funny that girls are still dominating the April thread but Boys far outrank the girls for november scans lol.

After the initial surprise of team blue here (mostly because I had sone all the decorating in my head for a girl ), and am beyond excited for my little man . My mom came to the appointment (first grandbaby) and she was really hoping girl... she asked the tech 3 times if she was sure lol and the tech said: I've been doing this for 32 years and I am 100% sure lol. Since my mom only raised girls, she has no clue about boys and thats why she wanted a girl. Now that we know, she is extreamly excited and already went shopping

As for Strollers/Prams... We have been looking for a while too and we love the 3 wheel strollers that have the inflatable wheels. That way it can be used on and off road (we think lol). Maybe someone has experience with this one but we love the Babytrend Expedition travel system?? It's cheap compared to the brand names ($180 for stroller, carseat and base), so now i'm unsure if that means it will be no good
