Squidge I felt the same lol! I really wanted to ask but I know it will be worth it. What makes it worse is DH seems to get the same train home from work as the sonographer we've had 3 times! He said he's always tempted to ask her when he sees her lol!!

I thought I'd show you my cool valentines present that arrived today..

I love it!! DH is good at picking presents I love lol.
Has anybody got any fun plans for valentines / the weekend?
I think were going to get Chinese food tonight. And tomorrow Jesse is home from Disneyland! He's been gone for a whole week and the house has been so quiet! I can't wait til he's home x
 
I love it Boothh!

I asked DH what he wanted for dinner & he too is wanting proper curry! No Indian take away near us but it looks like one might be opening soon! Anyhow uncooked a lamb curry last night & I've made raita, tomato & onion salad and bought poppadums & mango chutney ! Should be easy to do tonight now! Gonna get some pud from shop! I might have a glass of cava too :)
 
Boothh, that is brilliant!

I have a feeling it's a boy as when she asked me what Joshua wanted and I said girl i saw a look flash across her face which kinda said 'hope he's not disappointed' but we shall see, maybe she was trying to hide excitement, who knows!

We haven't got any plans tonight, i may have to get something when i go into town for my opticians appointment later from Waitrose!

Have a nice day/evening everyone :)
 
I love your dh's gift, super sweet! We don't do valentines, we always end up in a fight somehow so we skip it and will do something tomorrow! I did request a back rub if he felt the need to give me something :winkwink:

I kind of think were having a girl because she was asking us what we already have and we said two boys and she was like 'the surprise will definitely be worth it' so I dunno haha 16 weeks to go!
 
I love the T-shirt Boothh :flower:

We don't celebrate valentines, mainly because we don't feel we need 1 day pushed by card companies to say that we love one another and because (sensitive so I'm spoilering it)

8 years ago today my best friend had her son stillborn at 40+2, every year the first thing I do the moment my eyes open is text her and it feels wrong to celebrate the day. She is the bestest friend anyone could ask for and is more like my sister than a friend so it's very close to my heart and we were pregnant at the same time, my daughter arrived just under 2 months later :cry:
 
Hey everyone!!! Happy Valentine's day!! Wouldn't it be neat to have your v-day on V-day? Ha, I'm sure some of you are celebrating both v-days today :).. anyway..
Today hubby left for work like usual and I slept in like usual and when I woke up I found the sweetest card out on the kitchen counter.. it made me cry like sobbing uncontrollably lol... he means the world to me!!!
Today we are grilling filet steaks, I just put them in marinade! I'm also making a squash/tomato/potato cheese bake, salt and vinegar potato slices, parmesan baked green beans, and red lobster Cheddar biscuits!! I wanted to do salad too but we will already have a lot of food!! I'm also making homemade chocolate chunk cookies and we will eat them warm with ice cream on top!! I can't wait!! I going to get all dolled up for when hubby comes home.. hair makeup, freshly shaved, sexy dress (if I can fit into it again lol) and I'm going to clean the house nice today!! I can't wait for him to get home!!! I better get busy! Have a great day y'all!!!!!
 
Wow those home cooked meals sound delicious ladies! And nice to hear your traditions and non traditions :)

I'm literally on :cloud9: today for three huge reasons, it is my V-day today! It feels very special to have it on valentines day and super excited to have passed viability.. although honestly I really can't believe it, I can tell she's getting bigger though hehe.
AND me and my OH celebrated last night because I thought I'd be working tonight (too ill, boo :( ), he took me to a romantic hotel and proposed! It was so right and we both wept.
So I'm just stunned, full of love for my little girl and her daddy who I can now call my fiance :happydance:

Hope everyone has a beautiful day whether you celebrate or not! (We don't always)
 
We don't make a big deal out of it, I do nice stuff for DH all the time! Not just on valentines day, I mean I bought him spiderman bed sheets, an attack on Titan Tshirt and some pop tarts :haha: hardly romantic gifts. It's only abit of fun really, it does make me laugh to see the people that argue every other day of the year on Facebook taking pics of their cheap flowers lol. But I don't like it when people get all preachy about NOT celebrating, as if it makes their relationship somehow superior. Me and DH actually are the strongest couple I know. Of course we argue and annoy each other but we never argue about anything other than who hasn't cleaned the house or whatever. I wonder if the people that get snippy about it I've their mums Mother's Day cards cus that's just another made up holiday isn't it :shrug: rant over haha! I hope everybody has a good day anyway whether it's a happy valentines day or just a happy Friday ;)

Congrats mummafrog x
 
Gah so I was at the hospital twice last week and twice this week.. Now I have to go back on Tuesday because I have 'a severe vitamin D deficiency so we want to manage you differently' thought I would get some peace but no!
 
Well today is my V-Day on V-Day!! And DH and I was supposed to go into the City for a baby moon, but baby had other ideas. I couldn't get to sleep because I was having these horrible cramps. Finally at 3:30am I gave up and called the emergency line for my OB and got in touch with a doctor that said to some into the hospital immediately. Well DH works 3rd shift and I didn't want to call and wake my parents so I dug my car out of the snow and drove in by myself.

Apparently I was dehydrated and having severe contractions. Baby and I stayed in the hospital for about 6 hours for fluids an observation. My mom and hubs came up to join me about 6:30 and 8 respectively.

I am now on bed rest with instruction to drink as much water as I possibly can. So much for going away this weekend :( at least I am still in the JUNE birth club. June is so much nicer to have a baby in than February at 24 weeks..

Congrats Mummafrog!! That was such a romantic proposal. I'm so happy for you and all the good things happening in your life right now. And yes, it really is a relief to get past V-day. I didn't even realize what it was until this thread.
 
Congratulations Mummafrog! No wonder you're on :cloud9:!

'How do you uncook a curry?' That was my first thought when I read that. When I thought about it, I decided maybe that it was that you'd prepped it all to cook tonight? Is that right?

Sassy - glad to hear the professional have everything under control for you. V scary though, and a shame you missed out on your trip away. Tell bubs the weather is NOT good, so he/she is better off staying put for a few more months! (can't see now I'm replying, where you live, so maybe the weather is ok where you are, but it certainly isn't where I am!)

For Valentines Day we are just having a M&S 'dine in for 2' meal, which OH bought yesterday. He was telling me about his choices though, saying that he looked at the starters and there was breaded camembert, which he decided I couldn't have, antipasti style cured meats, which he'd heard me say were a no-no, some seafood thing, which he wasn't sure about (though he knew I've eaten prawns, but obviously was unsure of the other components) so he settled on the crab, which he nervously asked if this was ok when I got home! We don't celebrate V-day particularly, but I usually push for a meal out at some other time. And whoever said about the cheap flowers pics on FB, I completely agree! I just looked and saw a sort of relative had posted a pic of what look like £2.99 flowers from the supermarket. This is by no ways me being judgmental in any way, as I actually rate supermarket flowers and the cheaper ones are fine for just brightening up the home, but to actually post a picture of them I felt was a bit weird! (But then I don't get the whole FB thing anyway, and only look in from time to time on my Mum's account!)
 
How have I not known this section of bnb existed. I guess I've just never scrolled down enough. Hope I'm not too late to join you all. I'm due June 3rd! :flower:

A little about me. DH and I have been married for 7 years, TTC for 2 years before our :bfp: in September!!! We were pregnant with twins but sadly after seeing the heart beats both twice we lost baby a on October 31st. I've had quite an eventful pregnancy, with complications of spotting and cramping after losing baby a. We thought I was in the clear and I went back to work for 3 weeks before I started having contractions and had bleeding at 19w6d. I was put in the hospital for a few hours. 4 days later at my follow-up I was referred to a MFM specialist for shortened cervix. That appointment went so well I had my ultrasound and was admitted before meeting the Dr. :dohh:

So I was in the hospital for a week. I can't have the cerclage because of contractions but I have an extremely short cervix. It was 7mm on admission and is now sitting at 11mm or 1.1 cm. I had a cervical pessary put in place, use Prometrium suppositories, and take Procardia to keep the contractions at bay. At my last Dr visit they said things seem to be progressing well but I'm still at risk of Ellie coming early. (Oh yes btw it's a girl and we've named her Ellie! Still debating on her middle name.) He said it could be this week or 2 months from now. As a precaution I've had the steroid injections to mature her lungs already.

So an eventful pregnancy bot hopefully I've given you the highlights, and in future discussions you'll understand my craziness! :wacko:
As a side note to add to the craziness my niece (4) and nephew (7) have lived with us since last April and we are in the process of adopting our niece (homestudy is a week from today)! And we will be getting guardianship of our nephew (court on Thursday)! So we've definetely got our hands full. A year a go I was still getting used to having a dog, now I have 2 kids and a 3rd on the way! :wacko:
 
Congrats mummafrog! That's awesome.

It's our wedding anniversary today, so we are going out to dinner :) kinda wish it was v day as that would be awesome, but I'll take 23 weeks!!

OMG. I'm glad that you and baby are okay!! V-day is a nice milestone but I can't imagine giving birth right now!

Anyway, hope hubby is going to serve you dinner in bed for Valentine's Day!
