[godivalocks]

not sure what it is with the cheese cant get enough of it my self, i had a nice breakfast gonna do me chicken now didnt realise the time lol x

I'm normally like that with cheese. It's a staple in this house, lol.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I showed OH the scan pics today.

I know I said that I wasn't going to tell him because he's going to tell everyone (which I know he will, and as soon as I told him he was chomping at the bit to do so), but he was so eager that I couldn't keep it from him.

Of course, when he found out it was a boy, he got this huge grin on his face and it stayed on his face. I can't help but wonder if it would have been that big if it was a girl, because I knew he really wanted a boy even if he said it didn't matter. Of course, he immediately said we can try for a girl...at this point I think he'd just like the 'trying' part, if you know what I mean.

But he was so happy for the moment, in a place where he's really unhappy, that it made me teary-eyed . He'd rather be home with me, and I know he wishes he could have been at the scan with me.

He started asking about the classes that I should take, saying how he wish he could be there. I wish he could, too. I'll feel awkward in those classes by myself. I don't know how these classes work, but maybe he'll be able to go to one or two before it's born.

Actually, I'm not quite sure when I should start taking them. I'm hoping they will mention that at my next OB appointment. If they don't, I guess I'll have to ask.

Anyone gone to these before? And what do they typically consist of?

 

[geogem]

Hi ladies,
you ladies sure do talk when i'm not here!!

Godiva - I never went to any of these classes with my first so I dont know what or when you would do at these. Is soo sad that you OH cant be there with you, chin up - just remember he will be there at the most important time - when you really need him!!

Well we are not doing a nursery as we only have threee bedrooms and already have a boy and a girl here so we have made room in our bedroom and will be having bubs in with us for a while until we figure out the sleeping arrangements. Both of them were getting a bit obsessed with having a boy as if it is a girl they would have had to swap rooms due to space and they really dont want that. So we thought we'd take the focus off the rooms to stgart with so if it is a girl they wont resent it - want them to be happy either way if you know what I mean!!

Still no test results!! been nearly 2 weeks now!! Had a day off work today as I felt so drained and tired as well as having a really bad headache!! butit was nice to spend a day at home with hubby and be able to pick the kids up from school myself!!

Oh and my new sofa finally arrived today and its gorgeous!! looks really nice in the room!!

all this talk about boy/girl has got me thinking, I think I would really like a girl!! although I kinda think its a boy but as I already have a boy and I know I have stepdaughters but it is not the same. i'd like to have one of my own!! But i suppose i am in the same noat as a lot of people with this is my only chance as this will be number 6 between us but our only one together, but also the last one. We agreed we would have one more that we could call ours but that would be it, I'm starting to wonder if that was a good idea coz if this one is a boy - i think i'd wanna try again!!
Dont get me wrong I would be happy with either sex but dont think I could be fully contented without a daughter.

maybe it is coming from an all girl family!! my dad was glutton for punishement - dont think he got a week off without someone getting pms!!

anyway babbled on a bit now!! will go to bed me thinks!!

ttfn!!

 

[NikiJJones]

I agree about the wanting a daughter thing. The women in my family are so close knit. My Mum and my Granny are very close, and I am with my Mum, and though I know I'd adore a little boy if I had one, it is the lifelong close relationship with a daughter I long for. Does that make sense? I guess it is just speaking from experience of my own life and relationships.

I'm with you on the cheese thing! I could just eat it till it came out of my ears!! Mind you: I've always been a cheese-lover, so being PG has just made this more extreme. The biggest pain will be when we are in Paris over Easter, and I won't be able to eat any of the lovely soft French cheeses!!! Grrrrrrr!!!!

I survived parents' evening. Very tired this morning, but last night was OK. All the mums just wanted to talk babies with me, which was lovely. Had to sort of squeeze in the info on their kids progress!!!

I feel for you, I go to a Spanish evening class for just 2hrs a week & I can never be bothered with that or the homework!!

Just think though, it'll be worth it when you get yr qualification, and you've not got long to go now

 

[SJK]

Hi girls

hope your all well !

Has anyone had diahhrea , sorry tmi, dont know whether to worry or not

 

[Twiglet]

I've only got 6 months of uni left too and cannot wait for it to be over! I lack the motivation to do my dissertation and its actually really boring now...cant wait for it to be may and that to be over with. Then only June to get through and voila I am finally a graduate and can forget education forever

SJK I've not had any problems with diahorreia but my friend did when she was pregnant, she went to her doctors, she had an infection but they pretty much had it sorted within the week, she said its quite common in pregnancy and they recommend keeping your fluids up and going to see the doctor if it gets severe...hope this helps.

 

[shelleylu]

Hey girls,

Just a quick one as Im trying to limit the PC still!

Im super tired all the time too. Cant do anything anymore without having to have a nap afterwards! I went to college this morning and was falling asleep on the way home!!

SJK- my tummy is fine, but my DS has it bad if that helps???!!!!! Sorry hun xx

Hope everyone is well. Niki - glad you got through your night last night. I dont know how you done it!!

[SJK]

thanks girlies, I think its passed, I hope xx

 

[godivalocks]

SJK--I used to have the runs on and off, but this was in the first tri. I noticed it coincided with some of my most miserable ms days, so I think it was the product of the hormones coursing through my body.

I hear all you ladies on the tiredness. I am definitely feeling better since the ms seemed to pass a few weeks ago, but I've noticed that I will still be tired. I'm not nearly as bad as first tri, though, as far as tiredness goes (I felt like a narcoleptic during first tri...could fall asleep anywhere, anytime).

 

[Twiglet]

I'm training to be a teacher, am in my final year thankfully not planning to go into teaching for a few years but there is plently that I can do in that time instead. The dissertation is just not going...seriously why did they invent these long things? lol.

 

[Sarah+]

Godivalocks - I'm booked into prenatal classes at 30 weeks. They told me any earlier than this and you might forget bits, and any later and if the baby comes early, well, too late! Ours a 4 x 2hrs covering everything from birth options, a hospital tour, breastfeeding and caring for the baby. Sounds like a lot for four classes actually...

I'll stick my hand up for the cheese club too. I had to stop buying blocks of cheese and switch to cheese slices .... it was disappearing at an embarrsing rate

Glad you survived your day Niki. That's quite a schedule. I used to hate parent-teacher, as we'd only get two types of parents along: the parents of angles who just wanted to hear how lovely their children were (fair enough!) and the other end of the spectrum... who get the leter sent home that their attendance is required!


Hope you're feeling better Shelley Congrats about the job

I just heard that a massive nursery shop down the road is having a sale... off I toddle...
