PAL Spring 2011 babies - Welcome Mason, Iris, Lily, Isaac, Luca & Dominic !!!!

[Mrmojo1971]

Amy & Pip - good luck with your scans today !

Deb - thinking of you and your dad and hoping everything is ok.

AFM - off to the hospital for my booking in appointment - not looking forward to the bloods and if I end up with the one who was training last time and made a real mess of both of my arms I think I'll ask for someone else !

 

[debgreasby]

In the spirit of positivity I bought baby badger a "Little Roo" rattle from Tescos!

 

[Tulip]

Good work Deb!

Min - That mood is totally normal. I had phases where I just Hated People and didnt want to be part of society! x

 

[SmileyShazza]

Amy sorry to hear about your friend hope you are ok and the scan goes well today

Good luck to pip for her scan today as well

Debs so sorry that you are having such a terrible week. I hope that everything is ok with your dad and things start improving for you a bit soon.

Not too bad here, just had a lady in from Occupational Health to do a risk assessment on me for work. Was really interesting and am glad she came in – also means that I will not have to do a really crap piece of work anymore as it involves going up and down step ladders

Watched “Cherry has a baby” last night which I Sky +’d the other night, cried at most of the programme – blooming hormones!

 

[Tulip]

I watched that yesterday too - I sooooo hope I get an experience like the lady in the pool

Also watched The Incubator on 4OD, which was excellent apart from the stupid machine narrating. Bawled my eyes out the whole way through.

 

[Charliemarina]

Morning ladies im 8 weeks today but am feeling crap....tired sick and just crap lol

Debs hunny, i praying ur dads results come back innocent, im sure they will huns and YAY for the rattle

girls i keep having horrid dreams some of which i DONT want to go back to sleep after for fear of having more, i remember it with my daughter but i never had them every night like i am now, i even woke for my LO the other night and woke from a bad dream was happy i woke actually but wen i went bk to sleep it carried on was very VERY odd, cant wait for hormones to die down a bit its making me not want to sleep, waking up sweating terribly after them

 

[Vickieh1981]

Vic you're looking hot, I'd never guess you were a mummy of five xx

Awww that's sweet thanks. I look bloody miserable in that picture though lol.

Morning girls, hope you are all ok.

Amy, so sorry about your friend, big

AFM please someone give me the strength to get through today.

My dad goes to the hospital for his results. They found a shadow on his lung during an x ray ... please let it be something innocent.

Had a text from my best mate .. in brief, she's not keeping the baby. I'm absolutely devastated and don't know if our friendship can survive this.

1 more sleep till scan .. i was feeling ok yesterday, but today the negativity has hit me full force Need to keep busy but i'm totally exhausted.

to all.

I'm really sorry hun. It's too much at once isn't it? I hope it's nothing for your dad. I'm sorry your friend is doing this - for what it's worth I couldn't be friends with someone who aborted a healthy baby either.

Am looking forward to seeing pics of your gorgeous little baby tomorrow.

can you add me for 27th may please, my first scan will be in about a week ill update wen i know xxx

Justsaid it on the due list thread but am really really thrilled for you.

Good luck to those with scans!

Vickie- you do not look like you have 5 wee ones! What is your secret!

AFM- tired with a bit of a headache this morning. Acu this afternoon and possibly Aquanatal this afternoon. I slopped out of Yoga yesterday for several reasons- but mostly tired and being lazy- did some at home though. Worrying as I am not sure what is going on inside, if I am hurting babba or something But I wont start classes till next week- 15 weeks by then Probably the same for aquanatal too - wait to 15 weeks! arrggghh

Have a wedding to go to tomorrow and feel rather plump and not really attractive. Been in a really foul foul mood since yesterday and cant help but wonder if this is normal. Not really in the mood to talk to others and be social and certainly not in the mood to celebrate a wedding. Just want to hide away Anyone else feel this way? Is this normal?

Thanks hun. I worked really hard to lose 6 stone after having Jessica. I have to be a bridesmaid 4 months after baby is due as well so I need to not pig out too much. That said I am already 9lb up at 15 weeks.

ooo i just realised i move up a box tomorrow yay

It''s so exciting isn't it? Mine wont go up again till 17.5 now.

Amy & Pip - good luck with your scans today !

Hope your appt goes well hun.

 

[Minimin]

Thanks Tulip-
Really having to focus on being normal and not moody at the moment
Gonna look into that incubator one now- think maybe I need a good bawl too.

On a good note- tried on two dress' from when I was thin and both fit- coering bumpage nicely so I dont have to 'borrow' dress' or wear things to 'flatter' my new shape... dress' from 2007 when I was thin! Whooohhhoooooooo (Have put on weight even before babba! so nice to know I still fit!)

Debs- nice positivity hun! Not long to go now

Hi SmileyShazza :wave: how ya doing?

No way 6 stone- thats something to be proud of. I am sure after this babba is born you will be back to shape no time. Remember to share those secrets

Good luck with your booking in appt.

Have stalked Bumble B, her scan also went to plan on Tuesday and she has been put forward 2 days, so will be 13w tomorrow! Congratulations Hayley!

 

[prgirl_cesca]

FFS there is still slight brown spotting when I wipe after the loo. When is this likely to stop?! They couldn't see a cause for the bleed on the scan so I have no idea whats going on.

Vickie- Wont let me see pics
booo! Off to Acu- Have a good afternoon.

That birth was amazing! She was so calm, relaxed and seemed to be in the least amount of pain I've ever seen on a birth on TV. I immediately thought of you when I saw it It even made me consider the option of a possible water birth which I was totally sure I didn't want before.

Hi SmileyShazza :wave: how ya doing?

Hey hun, am doing ok thanks looking forward to joining you in second tri in a few days

Have been a little worried that according to my scales I have only put on 1.5lbs so far. I've probably just lost weight during first tri due to my sickness and appetite being a bit messed up but keep worrying that it is because the baby isn't growing or something am probably being overly paranoid but can't help it

How are you?

Yah to being in 2nd tri

Am good thanks! Dont worry about the weight. I think wee one is still sooo tiny. I bet MS has been a big factor. Watch out second tri- I bet you will notice the difference soon. I am feeling much much better. Some Constipation and some sinus issues but I have had that before pregnancy so I cant imagine there is much I can do about it other than suffer Need to get some prune juice in though

Vicky - your weight loss is amazing! You look absolutely fantastic!!!!! You haven't really had 5 children, have you? Please say no otherwise I'll really be put to shame lol

Deb, I'm so sorry you're going through such a difficult time I hope you and your friend can work things out with each other. I can imagine that if she's your friend she won't have made such a decision lightly. Maybe she's still not entirely sure?
I also have my fingers crossed for your Dad that the lung issue is nothing or just something small they can sort out relatively easy.

Amy, I started a good trend at my last scan and I hope the same goes for today as mine went very well this morning Our little froggy's growth since last time was pretty much exactly average so we're well pleased with that. The little heart was also beating away nice and lively . I can't wait until we see proper movements, limbs and all!

 

[Mrmojo1971]

Cesca, hope it stops soon.

Pip - glad your scan went well !

My booking in went better than expected - I found out that I qualify for a nuchal scan on the NHS at my hospital due to my age (38). No-one told me before and I'd booked one at Babybond for £169, which then got cancelled due to staffing issues. And I got someone who could take blood this time too !

Dating/ nuchal scan now booked for 21/10

 

[MissMaternal]

Vickie, wow you look so amazing! You're one pretty lady!

I NEED TO RANT LADIES!!! i am such a mess at the minute.
It's my day off today and i wanted to go and see Freya. So i drove down to the burial ground. I got there and there was an attendant on the gate. I didnt know i was meant to stop, so i didnt (normally you just drive straight in) and then she appeared at my window waving her arms going "woah stop stop!" So i did, and she said there was a big service happening today so i would need to park over the other side, between some cones. I then had to reverse back (embarrassing in itself - reversing is not my strong point) and when i got to the other parking area, there was no space. So i tried to reverse back out, but there was trees either side of me so i got stuck and couldnt get out! Then the woman was staring at me from a distance, waving at me telling me to move the cones out of the way. In the end i got out of the space, and then thought "fuck it". I was in a really bad mood by then, so i just left. I just wanted to shout at the woman "I JUST WANT TO VISIT MY DAUGHTER AND I CAN'T BECAUSE THERE'S NO FUCKING SPACE AND YOU MADE ME FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT YOU STUPID OLD MARE!! grrrr!!! I spent the way home in floods of tears and now i can't stop crying because i feel guilty that i went there and then didn't even get to visit Freya.

Anyway... i'm going to Pizza Express and the theatre with my mum tonight, so that's something to look forward to! RANT OVER! Thanks ladies! xxx

Dating/ nuchal scan now booked for 21/10

My brain is in total meltdown today - it's actually the 18th October not the 21st !

Not my worst mistake yet today though.

Midwife (looking at the notes I've filled in ) : 'So you have a daughter who's 11, is this birthweight right ?'

Me : 'Yes'

Midwife (surprised) '13 lbs 14oz ??'

Ermmmmmmm Should have been 7lb 14oz

Apparently she wondered how I'd managed a normal delivery and lived to tell the tale !
