Hopeful, I know what you mean by girlie girls, theres a whole load her in San Diego!

Lisa yeah its in 3d as well as 2d.

Lucky, wow that was harsh of your hubby, take out pizza is very good tho Its our date night tomorrow too, got childcare and everything lol.

 

[hopefulmama]

mummy- haha i can't even handle california chicks normally, let alone now i am sure.. i always notice girls in cali love to hug every time they see each other and say "hella" a lot. It's a completely different breed of girls there.

 

[lisaf]

lol...do I dare admit i use the world hella?
But I am NOT one of those girlie girls who freakin squeal every time they see each other and are all huggy, lol.

 

[hopefulmama]

lisa oh no!! don't tell me you're one of those hella's! I think it's the worst in san fran, that's where i really hear it a lot. You redeem yourself for not being one of those squealy huggy fruit loops. Whats with that? I don't understand where it comes from.

 

[lisaf]

I was raised up in San Jose... the 'hella' thing is a bay area thing, lol... I know its considered annoying by most people, but it actually one of the only regional things that we have that is so unique, so I'm oddly proud of it
I do not know whats up with the squealing thing.. but omg, its SO much worse when its in an enclosed space... and so freakin obnoxious (or dare I say its 'hella obnoxious'? )

 

[hopefulmama]

Ya my best friend lives in Hillsborough outside of SF and whenever we go to the city, i wish I could walk around with ear plugs. I went to San jose once and had dinner and drinks on Santana row (i think thats what it is called), that was even worse haha. What I do like about right there is the Half Moon Bay Ritz Carlton, it's beautiful right on the cliff on the water.

 

[luckyme225]

hopeful- I'm the same, I was joking with my friend the other day that I'll have to have a co-ed baby shower since barely any of my friends are girls.

The pizza was good. I had 4 pieces and some cheesy bread haha.

 

[lisaf]

Ah yes, Santana Row... that was built right around the time I moved away, but so neat that you've been somewhere I know, lol.
I do think the San Jose girls are bad... BUT I think the farther south you go, the worse it is! Maybe its because I now live in a college town but its pretty bad here!
And all the girls are the same type of person.. its so boring.
The only social life is bars/drinking which just isn't my thing.

 

[hopefulmama]

lucky- i am sooo jealous, i LOVE cheesy bread!!!!

lisa- ya i went there once, i would have to assume you're right with the farther south the more annoying they get.

 

[luckyme225]

The best part was dipping the cheesy bread in garlic sauce lol.

 

[hopefulmama]

my varicose vein is really bothering me today, its on my right leg in the calf/behind knee.. this pregnancy is really irritating it. I never had cellulite, spider veins or varicose veins (the worst) till I took the birth control Yaz, after yrs of being on it they discovered all these problems with it, even tho they still sell it. Well i was one of those unluckies who got the side effects. I also was flying internationally a lot, which didn't help. Now i have to wear a compression stocking and take a low dose aspirin a day. Now that i am pregnant they wont treat it with saline til after I have the baby. Super annoying.

 

[hopefulmama]

lucky the best part is ALWAYS the garlic dipping sauce!!!

 

[BizyBee]

Stopping by to say hi!

 

[hopefulmama]

Hi bizy!!

 

[MilosMommy7]

Im so sorry may

24/7 I hope that things progress ok hun thinking of you xxx

Inge, great news about the house, fingers crossed Least its a start!!

Milos great bump!!! I thought mine was coming along nicely but wow you're is ace lol With my coat zipped up now its soooooo noticable lol People started patting it congratulating me arghhhhhh

My work proper wound me up today! I called in as I was at the hospital (which is near by) and I thought it would spare me making a separate journey on Monday to do my return to work forms. They were fine with that, as I was leaving they said oh I think we have changed your shifts next week (not sure when they were planning to tell me this!). I had a look, they had me working on Monday, which is my contracted day off. They also changed all my shifts to afternoons, so starting at 1.30pm or 2pm finishing around 5pm. This is no good because it means Im sat home all day not earning while Joshua is in free education, then going out to work and paying childcare for after school care which is about 80% of my weekly wage. Ive told them no way is that fair, they tried a stupid stunt like this with me before and it didnt work in their favour then, and it wont now lol They have backed down and given me my normal round back, I dont understand why they tried to take me off it! Roll on March lol Ive spoken to HR she said I can take all my remaining annual leave prior to my maternity leave (normally you can only have 3 weeks off at once). So going to work out how many weeks I have left (4 weeks I think) I'll probably take most of April as Mat leave, 4 weeks for annual leave so I should be able to finish first week of March wooppeeee!!!

i'm was surprised since i didnt start to really show with DS until 19 or 20w. i know they say you may show sooner, but this was a lot sooner. hahah. i feel so fat now lmao

 

[MilosMommy7]

on another note, i have an appt on tuesday. hopefully we take a peak at baby, or i can atleast schedule my gender scan. i cant wait!

 

[Wiggler]

Cheesy bread with garlic dipping sauce, that sounds delish! I'm hungry now!


Midwife appointment today in 4 hours! YAY! I can't remember if they are taking bloods again today or not, if they do I really hope its not the trainee taking it again, she was a bit rough with the needle last time.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Wiggler real shame you had problems with your HV Mine was lovely. I do know how scary it is when the social services coming banging on the door though. Joshua bumped his head once, he was just learning to move and was shuffling around then from no where, feet dug in the floor and he did a huge back jump back it would have been mega cute and a huge milestone if he hadnt have landed on the TV stand So I took him to the hospital who said I had over reacted and he was fine and we were discharged with a pamphlet on head injuries. Anyway about 12 hours later he started being fiercely sick and just clingy and clammy so no doctors I just went stright back to hospital where he had mild concusion and was admitted. He was perfectly fine, but Id not been home a few hours when 2 policemen and 2 social workers knocked on my door. The hospital had documented 2 separate head injuries, 2 separate hospital visits, even though children always get a 24 hour window to be brought back and skip the waiting time if things get worse, he had been booked in twice. So of course they wanted answers as to how he sustained 2 head injuries. Once they heard the full truths nothing more said, but it was the scariest thing in my entire life.

Mummy so excited to see the results of this guranteed gender scan lol

Milos Im at clinic on Tuesday too I'll hear baby but wont be getting to take a peek this time I should have been there this week but dates all got jumbled at the start lol

Wiggler, you'll probably get offered the Downs test today. I dont think we have more bloods taken at 16 weeks (unless you want the downs test). Tell me if we do so I can brace myself for Tuesday ha ha You'll get to hear baby on the doppler though yay!!!

I tried to take a bump picture today. Im going to post it because I have plucked up the courage to take it lol, but its a bit close and I dont have a mirror to take one of my reflection lolol I didnt do bump pictures bump anything with Joshua just cried and cried about getting fat so its a huge thing for me to do this lol (even though I am still crying about getting fat lol)

 

[Inge]

gary needs to have the MOT done on the car by end of the month! He's left it late hasnt he?
He has a folder he has all his car documents in but his damn mother has moved it and she's not home til 3pm and gary doesnt get back til 10pm and I have to pick my brother up from school and go to my mums with him so we cant ask her til tonight! She'll say she doesnt know where it is as with everything she loses! Times like these really make me wish we had our own place as things wouldnt be messed with then. She doesnt take no for an answer so if we say to leave something she'll do it anyway
And he's lost my hat I need to wear in the kitchen for work tomorow

 

[new_to_ttc]

He doesnt need any documents for his MOT hun. Its all computerised now, so even if you have it done early the new certificate will have the extra days added on to match the date of the last certificate (I do make sense in my head honest!) Hope it passes!!! If its not due tll end of month he has plenty of time
