Aw sath it's not fair at all, you see all the teenagers in town with their kids, smoking and drinking and it totally breaks your heart but at least you know WHEN you have your babies you will be the best mum and they will be truly wanted and loved I hope a good cry made you feel a little better xx
The dog walking is meant to cheer you up I'd be useless I'd be taking them all home.

I will do a bump pic, but I don't really have much of a bump at all now all the bloat has gone

I still haven't told work or many friends yet, so just as well my bump isn't that big

Sath have you got anything nice planned for the weekend or is oh away?

 

[SATH]

Aw mrs d thanks hun x I know the dog walking was supposed to relax me dont know if i can go back to that rescue it was too upsetting. I prefer animals to people most the time! Nothing planned tomorrow then Sun taking mum to Birmingham airport hoping we can go to Bullring after I need retail therapy. Hope the open day tomorrow is productive. When you going to tell everyone. How bout a gender cake? You get scanner to write down sex give to cake maker then when you cut in to cake pink or blue love-it

 

[MrsDuck]

I was at Wolverhampton Uni so I either used to go to the bullring or to merry hill for a bit of retail therapy I love it, I miss not having big shops. I think we will do a January sale trip to go proper shopping haha

I'm quite liking everyone not knowing so until work find out either through the grapevine or it's so obvious then I'm not going to say anything. If anyone asks me then I'll admit it, but until then. I think I'm still nervous in case something goes wrong

Aw that sounds cute about the cake

Are you looking to buy anything in particular or just see what takes your fancy?

 

[SATH]

Wolves uni bit different to where you are now! I would be like that too I wouldnt announce just wait for people to see. Want a pretty blouse oh and thermals ready for Canada - sexy!!

 

[baileybubs]

Aw hopefully the retail therapy helps you Sath. And a good cry is sometimes what we need to pick ourselves back up and get that positivity back, if you didn't have a cry there'd be summat wrong with you though coz no one can stay positive all the time, you aren't a robot Hun! And usually at these times when people are at their low points or aren't expecting it that's when these little miracles occur!

Mrs d everything will be fine with this little duckling Hun, you are through the dreaded first tri now, I know that the remainder of pregnancy isn't always plain sailing but the riskiest part is over. Aw I was massive by the time I had my 12 week scan coz I remember people joking that it could be twins! Mind you I'm a short arse with average legs lol, it's my torso that's short so baby had no room to go but out wards!
Eurgh i hope they don't mess up your carpet tomorrow! Where will you be? Are you putting in an offer on this new place or waiting to see if anyone takes an interest in yours?

Cupcake how's Zach doing with his feeding? Is he still a hungry baby lol! Did you ever make it to that sensory class? I didnt go back to mine daft as it sounds I felt out of place coz all the other women seemed to have a lot more money than me. Silly that isn't it? Are Zachs jabs due soon cupcake? They start at 8 weeks don't they?

Espero how's things Hun? Any sign of O yet?

Cheryl how's Leo? And how's things with you and dh? Will you deffo not be my ttc buddy anymore?

Everyone else hope you are all well!

Afm me and Emilia took a trip to the reebok stadium today and went to Next. I got my nephew a little dungaree outfit which I will send tomorrow (still not seen him but it's hard to get up there plus I'm afraid of the Manchester ring roads and one way systems!!). Plus I bought a new hat for Emilia (she doesn't like it but that's coz it was indoors when I tried it on, I'm sure she'll be fine when it's freezing out!) I also got her 2 Christmas pudding sleep suits and a little outfit with a red tutu and tights that say "my first Christmas 2013". It was £20 for that outfit which is probably a waste as she will likely only wear it once lol, but you've gotta do these things haven't you?

 

[MrsDuck]

I know wolverhampton was a bit of a culture shock haha
When are you off to Canada? I know you've told me lots of times
Oooh sexy thermals m&s ones are really good

Thanks bailey xx
I've only got a short body so I thought I'd be huge, but not yet
We will just go to the farm shop to get veggies or something. Yup we've put an offer in but they said come back when we have a buyer for our house
Oooh you've been shopping too, I think her hat is cute and how can anyone resist a Christmas outfit haha

 

[cupcake1981]

Oh bailey those outfits for Emilia sound cute. I think they might be the same babie grows I bought Zach by the sound of it. I got him the elf outfit to, which he'll wear everyday at Xmas I'll wash and dry it every night lol! He is now on 7 oz per feed as he's just been so hungry this week, he's on colief now to, that's a pain to use isn't it. Dr gave us gaviscon at the 6 week check to but not felt the need for it yet.

His jabs are the 4th. Any tips on coping with the after effects will be appreciated, I already have the calpol waiting!

We bought him a swing yesterday, and my new sling arrived today to. Sold my moby today on gumtree and have someone coming to look at his bouncer tomorrow, and I'm going to replace it with one he hopefully liked. Does Emilia like hers?

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw sounds like he enjoys his food
I bet you aren't looking forward to a grizzly baby after his jabs poor thing
Are you going out to try your new sling tomorrow?
Well done on selling the bits you don't want

 

[MrsDuck]

My 14 week bump (almost)

 

[cupcake1981]

Aw look at that bump, I was huge from about then onwards. My sister is 18 weeks and I still look more preg than her at 7 weeks PP!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw

It's bigger now (in the evening) than during the day

 

[SATH]

Thats a cute little bump mrs d, reckon my muffin bump might challenge you

Bailey the outfits sound too cute cant wait to see a pic of Millie moo in them.

Cupcake your little elf is going to look fab. Cant believe Zach is coming up for his jabs its flying by. Well done on selling the stuff. What sling have you gone for. I love those baby swings I want one, I reckon I know a cat who would like it!

Espero hope you've caught that egg.

What you up to Cheryl?

Well i've downed a bottle of wine. Had fight with oh, he's gone out with his mates so I've told to stop out oops. He gets mad when I get upset and it all spirals. Got Ed Sheeran on the ipod in bed with my book and wine!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw sath your shit day has turned into a shit evening too I hope tomorrow is a better day xxx

 

[baileybubs]

Aw Sath what a poop day Hun I hope tomorrow brings a much better day all round for you. I can't remember what you said you were up to tomorrow but I hope it's just chilling and taking it easy, pj days always make me feel better.

Cupcake the only tip really is just lots of cuddles after they have it, have something for a distraction, like a toy or something bright and sparkly for him to look at. To be honest the first ones were the easiest, they get over it quickly when they are that young. But he may then be fussy at night so just give him calpol to prevent a temperature and lots of snuggles and he should be fine. Emilia wasn't too bad after hers, no more so than some other nights with the colic!
I just hope Emilia grows into the clothes I got her for Christmas, Next sizes are a bit big! I got the 6-9 month sleep suits (bearing in mind she will be 9 months by then!!) and they look huuuuuuge! But then with the stuff from asda they are 6-9 month and she will outgrow them soon! Stupid! The outfit I got for my nephew was "up to one month" and it would probably just fit Emilia now!

Mrs d that's a lovely bump!! Yay! Do you wear lots of baggy tops to hide it? My tummy looks bigger than that now haha!

Grrr theres some kids just walked past my house shouting and laughing at the top of their voices, taking their time!! I nearly shouted out the window but that would kind of stepped on my point about being quiet! I hope it's not too noisey where we are moving to. I know it's near a main road but it's a tiny cul de sac (only 3 houses) that's set back from the main road so in theory should be quiet.

 

[MrsDuck]

Ive been wearing trouser suits and non tight tops and I don't really look pregnant, I've been avoiding dresses as for some reason they emphasise my bump and I look huge

Sath is having a bit of retail therapy tomorrow

What selfish buggers. Hopefully your new place will be much quieter

I've just ordered the bounty offer mamas and papas travel system, I know it's early but it was too big a discount to resist

 

[cupcake1981]

Mrs d I was like bailey was wearing stuff to accentuate my bump as soon as we were telling people, my bump was like yours!

 

[baileybubs]

Yay for ordering the pram mrs d! That's a bargain!

How is everyone today?

 

[cupcake1981]

Hey bailey! Hubby did the night feed so in the words of Tong the Tiger, I'm feeling grrrrrreat! I am also however, bored. Hubby's just off to footy, my rents, my bf and my sister are all busy and I'm at home for the 3rd day in a row. Cabin fever much?

How are you?

 

[baileybubs]

Oh dear the cabin fever has already started!! You'll be like me then and dying to do something soon! I love Emilia but it's nice to be something other than a mum sometimes! People usually suggest joining groups but that didn't work for us, maybe go to a farmers market or some retail therapy? I don't know if Emilia is like Zach but she loves being out in the pram.

I'm at work later, looking forward to it. Hope Emilia is as good for my mum as she was last time!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw cupcake cabin fever you poor thing, go to the shops

I hope work is ok bailey, I bet you are looking forward to being out haha

Well our open viewing went well, the forecast was rain but instead it's glorious sunshine without a cloud in the sky the agent called to say he has been promised an offer on Monday from a couple who have a buyer in place on their own house with a completion date beginning of December so please keep your fingers crossed for us that it is a decent offer xxx

Hubby is off to check the boat and make sure all is safe for this hurricane over the next couple of days so I'm bored too, I might go visit my nan
