Double figures tri invaders 2012!

Ooh DisneyLeanne we're due the same day

It was so scary wasn't it MarchBean, I was sobbing away it was so just frightening that poor couple!

Oh we are! H&H 9 months to you.

OBEM was traumatic to say the least! I had my heart in my mouth, poor baby.

Fantastic news Feeble.

Thats fantastic news feeble. Will be lovely to get settled in before baby comes.
We've been trying to get moved too - Really not enough space in a 2 bed flat for 2 adults and 5 kids... Currently 356th on the list. We'll be able to buy before we get moved. Private renting a decent 3 bed house in the area we need to be for kids schools is currently £1400 a month. At least. Reeeeally not do-able for us.

Feeble that's awesome! So happy for you!

that is crap!

Its a human rights issue to keep people in those conditions they really need to sort it out!!

have you spoken to a housing lawyer? they might be able to find a loophole where its illegal for you to stay there etc so you can move?

we only got housed because we became homeless... So excited though

just went and found out we move in March, which is fine, its a bit far away but they have to completely gut the house (i just went up there, its a state) so we are going to have a fully new kitted out house to live in!! Yay!

really pleased... i could do with moving sooner, but i would rather move into a newly done house than one that is 'passable'

Just spoke to a right PRICK at the housing office, gave him some grief though so i hope he has a terrible day

Yeah, spoke to EVERYBODY!! lol Because Edward died here too and the kids find that hard, we've had letters fighting our corner from Dr's, Social workers, Health visitors, Midwives, even the police that were assigned to us (routine with SID at home). Have loads of grounds to be moved on but at the end of the day they have too few properties and too many people waiting!! Every day they allow 'new claims' to be put on the list too who are apparently priority as they've come into the country and have no home at all so we move down lower. Grrrr. It's that benefit stuff again. We pay our rent and council tax and it seems to be those who don't even try to who are helped.

Rant over Sorry!

Our housing association swaps to a new one in March tho so hoping they'll be more helpful. Just gonna bombard them with calls and letters and e-mails til they're so sick of me they move us to shut me up. Sound a good plan? lol

 

[feeble]

definitely give them hell! thats how we got into temporary, i was a thorn in their side and i said if they didnt house us, i would move into my van and use their council bathroom n toliet to wash in bathe my children and empty my chemical loo

loool

they properly, properly got moving!!

 

[nicola ttc]

So, does anyone else feel a bit wierd at this stage?

I spent the whole of first tri worrying about m/c and getting to the big 12 weeks so then i got there and didn't really feel as relieved as i thought i would.
Now had the scan, which was lovely, but still feels a bit surreal. Symptoms like tiredness and sickness have all pretty much gone, which is good at this point, and have seen bubs in there but still doesn't feel real yet. Maybe it will when i start feeling baby kick properly (can feel him/her moving occasionally already)

Just feel like i'm constantly waiting for the next milestone to be able to relax/enjoy this pregnancy, then get there and theres just another one for me to reach!!

Don't know if this is because of what happened last time or not. Don't really remember feeling like this before - but then, haven't actively ttc before and been so completely obsessed by it!

How are you other ladies feeling?

you're my idol.

I feel exactly the same. Each milestone is sort of tinted with worry...

i think when i get past 24 weeks and have a scan... i will start to think of it as 'real'

Maybe we're just steeling ourselves because of the past.
We'll have a virtual party with wine smilies when we're past 24 weeks and all is well with our lo's then.

make mine a spiced rum and coke smilie...

mmmmm spiced rum n coke (in homer simpson voice)

Nicola, I definitely feel weird at this stage too! Not sick anymore, don't really feel pregnant at the moment other than back pain which comes and goes, especially at night.

So, just got back from my 12 wk u/s! Baby was very uncooperative, wouldn't move to where they needed for measurements, etc. I think it was trying to sleep, was all cuddled up and looked agitated when they kept trying to get it to move haha. They ended up saying its a LAZY baby! Total opposite of my first, whch wouldn't stop moving during 12 wk scan. Couldn't get any good shots to guess gender, but I did get the due date moved up to Aug 21 from Aug 24, so yay me! Excited about that one!

 

[08marchbean]

my simptoms are fading aswell, no more sore boobs sickness has really died down sometimes gone. but i still get really tired, think i will be happier after my scan next week then it will feel a bit more real. i keep thinking what if im not actually pregnant

 

[FloridaGirl21]

I'd love to join too..


FloridaGirl21 - Due September 4th

 

[08marchbean]

where did everone go?! i had to search for the thread.

hows everyone going? anyone had any more scans etc? iv got mine tomoro!

 

[nicola ttc]

Had a bit of a hectic weekend - Biggest girl off to germany exchange trip, younger girl at cub camp (and the boys just being boys)
Finally told our parents this weekend.
My mums a bit worried as this will be my 4th c-section. They're happy for us though.

I'm hungry ALL the time at the moment. Bump feels huge already too. As i don't usuall show til 16 weeks or so, it's a bit of a shock!! There's deffo only one in there though.

How is everyone else?

 

[nicola ttc]

Ooh march bean, scan tomorrow!! How exciting.

 

[08marchbean]

I know im looking forward to it but a little aprehensive!

I think i am starting to 'spread' already aswell, and last time i didnt show at all till about 20 weeks or so. We have a running joke that its twins as i keep dreaming about 2 babies! but there are no twins in either families so i doubt it! haha.

Sounds a busy time nicola! glad your parents are happy for you! We are going to tell after the scan i think.

 

[nicola ttc]

We told our parents and our best friends know but don't know that i want to make it 'public knowledge' yet.
I'm sure it will be soon anyway bearing in mind the rate my bump is growing at!!

 

[feeble]

I want to keep my bundle quiet for as long as possible, we had some proper minging reactions from people when the baby died, so for their sakes we will just keep it quiet until we are quite sure.
