Holidays sound lush Claire, so jealous!
can't give you much advice on going back to work as i chickened out! can't believe i haven't been to work in 3 years now..goes so fast! but the friends that have, have said its easier than they thought it would be Gotta say though there are days i'd love to be at work!

Mrs- the reason I started buying stuff early is all about positive thinking. I refused to believe there would be anything wrong with the baby or that I would miscarry and I figured if it came to the point that that happened then I would deal with it then, but I couldn't live my pregnancy wondering when the "ok" time would be to buy things. For example I have a friend that lost her child at 28 weeks, she delivered and the baby lived about a week and because of a chomosomal abnormality they had to pull life support. At some point in her pregnancy she was told, you're "safe", but there never really is a safe time... 5 weeks or 25 weeks or 40 weeks, things happen. So I enjoyed myself by buying things early.

As for going back to work I'm so jealous of you guys!!! I hate hate hate being back to work full time and I'm completely exhausted

ahh yeah Kendra must be tough didn't realise how bad the situation is in the US for working mothers until i saw a programme on bringing babies into the office. It was an experiment in a UK office to see if it could work as it had worked in the US.

what's everyone up to then for the weekend? still lovely and warm here but apparently it's not to last much longer
Think i am going to enjoy a vino in the sunshine and then watch the opening ceromony of the olympics. Think i will be watching it alone though as my oh is not into it!

 

[Flowerbaby]

Hi girls,

Im quite busy this weekend, (apart from tonight) DH has gone out with the boys tonight as DS is at his grandads, and tomorrow night Poppy is going to stay over at her grandparents so that i can have a night with DH and his DS without going too bed too early, so we gona get a takeaway and watch a scarey movie and have quite a few beers me thinks! Then on sunday have got a family lunch too attend and a family bbq on the evening! trying too get around all DH's family this weekend before DS goes back too Abu Dhabi on tuesday

When are you going too the olympics Rach? Ive just remembered the opening ceremony is on! Must go and watch some of it!

 

[30mummyof1]

I sold my tickets hun, as my friend couldn't make it and decided i'd probably see more at home than in cheap ticket seats!
Have a lovely weekend x

Ha Claire yes I am a blueberry now! Though according to babycentre it’s a grape which to me is a hell of a jump!

You know what Kendra, that totally makes sense! We really shouldn’t be so superstitious! You are right, I mean, heaven forbid if something happened, it’s early days and we would keep trying for a rainbow baby so it’s not like it’s a waste of money. I too know someone, though not a friend as such and she lost her baby at over 7 months. How do you get over something like that? I really feel for you being back at work Kendra, us Brits don’t know we’re born with our maternity leave.

Rach, I also saw that programme! It was brill, but I have to say it really wouldn’t work for contact centre staff. I do that crappy job and there’s no way I could jiggle a baby around on my knee whilst talking to a customer like a couple of those ladies did. Though depending on the job it’s a great idea! My DH didn’t like the idea of the opening ceremony at all, but we ended up watching the whole lot and didn’t get to bed til 1am and I had to be up at 7am as I was on overtime today I must say I am very proud of our country after watching it last night, I felt very patriotic and had a few tears in my eyes (pregnancy hormones?!) It’s not something we’ll see again in our life time Did you watch any of it Claire? Rach FYI the Gymnastics starts tomorrow, I'm going to record it.

I picked up my pregnancy journal from the mail depot yesterday and I love it!

Oh and BTW, following on from the discussion of buying things early, MIL found a moses basket in TK Maxx the other day, only £18!! Cheap as chips. So she bought it! I've told her to keep it at hers for now though. Can't wait to see it x

 

[30mummyof1]

Yes we both watched it and were so impressed! It's been driving me mad all the people on facebook and such like moaning about the Olympics, i think we should just be proud and get into it, it's only on for 2wks for godsake! Yep watched a bit of gymnastics earlier, but looking forward to the women's the most..think that's Monday.

No pretty sure it wouldn't have worked for me in my previous job as an accountant! but on site nurseries i think would be a very good idea.

 

[MrsPTTC]

The women's is on today Hun, am watching it right now on sky interactive, you just choose the sport, apparently it's on all day! I saw a recap of the GB men's last night, we have done so well! We're in the team final & qualified at position no 3 or 4, the last time we were in the final was in the 1920's! x

 

[30mummyof1]

Yep watching it that way too hun! it's great isn't it that you can choose what you want to watch as otherwise its usually bloody rowing or cycling..boring! Looking forward to the athletics and diving too

 

[deafgal01]

Finally home from camp as of Sunday night. I was out all day yesterday so didn't get a chance to sneak online. How are all of you?

I haven't watched anything of the Olympics. I want to. Only trouble is I don't have cable so I'd have to chase up any events I wanted to see online I guess.

 

[30mummyof1]

dg good thanks, had a lovely day at the seaside yesterday with my friend and the boys. Today just chilling as its raining..again!

 

[MrsPTTC]

I'm fine thanks DG, how are you? Rach I know where is our summer?! DG you need to watch the opening ceremony on the net though it probably won't mean as much to you as us Brits as you always get more excited on your home turf!

1 more sleep!!!! x

 

[30mummyof1]

Yes i agree mrsp, it's rubbish isn't it. I got a nice bit of colour last week but it's going to be gone by the end of this week i think! dam

can't wait to see pics hun, so excited for you. Update us as soon as you can

 

[MrsPTTC]

Just waiting to go in, next in line & I'm crapping myself! x

 

[30mummyof1]

[MrsPTTC]
