Blob how far is nottingham from Manchester? Don't think its that far? Maybe we could do a meet in Manchester with Asher and Lilia and maybe optical if she can make it over around Christmas?

 

[Boony]

Blob if your going to be in nottingham then it might be easier for people to travel to you since you'd already have traveled so far. I know what its like travelling from scotland i used to live in elgin and travelling 500 miles to grimsby to get home was awful, i certainly didn't want to travel any further once i'd got there! lol. I know that becs is in norfolk with isn't too far from nottingham and i am in lincoln which isn't too far not too sure about anyone else though?

 

[Louise3512uk]

My parents live in Retford which is close to Lincoln, if I'm up there I'll definately come and meet you x

I think manchester is probably a couple of hours away?

 

[FirstBean]

Teeny- I am feeling okay just always tired and have a had a poorly Ollie the past few days which has made me feel even more tired. I think my pregnancy is going slow I just want to get to 12weeks and then will hopefully start to feel normal again.

 

[Emzywemzy]

lol maybe not then! My geography is terrible, I thought it wasn't that far! On the map it looked about as far as stoke, which is only 45 mins to 1 hour in the car! lol Well I don't drive, so can't go tooo far, but if I can make it on a train then I will.

 

[Emzywemzy]

Teeny, I'm ok thanks! Still pretty sick, although I *think* it's starting to let up as I'm getting a longer stretch without being sick on most days! Today's been pretty bad though, but the 2 days before than have been better days! I have my scan next Friday... when's yours teeny and FB?

 

[Emzywemzy]

Actually, looking at the map again, it's a bit further over than stoke, so prob much further! lol I have no idea how far things are as I don't drive lol

Nottingham is a bit far for me on the train, just had a look and its 2.5 hours and £50 to get there! So I wouldn't be able to do that around Christmas

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Teeny, I'm ok thanks! Still pretty sick, although I *think* it's starting to let up as I'm getting a longer stretch without being sick on most days! Today's been pretty bad though, but the 2 days before than have been better days! I have my scan next Friday... when's yours teeny and FB?

Mine is next Thursday and I will be 12w4d. I am kind of excited, but nervous all at the same time. x

 

[Emzywemzy]

Me too Teeny! I can't wait til I don't have to keep it a secret any more though! My colleagues must think I have some kind of awful disease to be off as long as I have ha ha!

 

[FirstBean]

I am still waiting for my letter to come through with my scan date only had my booking appt on Monday and she said it usually takes 2 weeks from then to get a scan date.

Hey Ladies - Ive been pretty rubbish at posting this week (Sorry) felt rubbish, Olivia has had a chest infection, the cats on tranquilisers and the dog needs a major op so have kind of felt abit poo - dealing with it now though

YM - I have been posting on FB but wanted to say here too how brave you are being and how well you are dealing with everything when I am sure inside it must of fely like you were falling apart. I am so so happy that Pippa is doing better and now you have this diagnosis they can at least plan for her future care. I think about you all lots as I am sure everyone else. Lots of Love and Hugs to you. xxxxx

Teeny/Emzy - Cant wait to hear your "official announcements" - Enjoy your scans next week and FB hope yours comes through soon. xx

GG - loved the welly pic - I cant bloody get any to fit Olivia as she is still a 3 1/2. Where did you get yours from ? xx

Teeny - I hope you and DH can have a good sit down and chat. It prob is mostly down to hormones. I am very argumentative at the moment and for no good reason either !! xx

Emzy - Loved the wet play pics and glad to hear that you are starting to feel better. Hopefully it will dissapear after 12weeks for good. xx

Optical/Becs - good to see you both on here again. Just shows how close we have all become as when somone goes missing we notice the hole they leave (so to speak) !! xx

Boony - We are well overdue an Alyssa update and pics xx

LBB - How is James doing with the PEG now? Have things settled for you all ? xx

I hope I haven't missed anything else (I blame baby brain !) AFM - I had my 1st consultant review today and heard babys HB for the 1st time !! Consultant has said that he really doesnt want me to have an elective csec and wants to go for a VBAC - I bruised really badly with my csec and then it burst. He told me today that this was because I lost alot of blood and then when they stapled me it caused a build up of pressure. Thats why it burst open as there was so much pressure underneath kind of makes sense but I was kinda peeved that they didnt tell me this at the time. Im kind of glad they have made the decision for me aswell though. So just 11 days until we find out or !!! xx

 

[Louise3512uk]

Oh wow Laura only 11 days! That's crazy how fast it's all going! Sorry to hear you have a house full of poorly people/pets, never nice x

 

[opticalillus5]

I'm not too far from Nottingham Sarah.. And i'm DEF up for a mancs meet. Louise - i'll make sure i've always got the teabags in just incase you're in s. kirkby

Hey laura - just shows how long it's been since i've been on cos i didn't know you were expecting again! Congrats !!!!!


Today/tonight I have drunk waaaaaaay too much coffee. I feel really dizzy. It's not nice, and it's making it hard for me to type. I'm such a dumbass.

So glad to hear pippa is getting better

So, both of the girls are getting baptised on the 27th Nov. I know emma's a little old at 6, but I never had her baptised so we're getting them both done at the same time. We can't afford a party, so we're just having a few sarnies and cakes at home afterwards for family and friends - we're not inviting many. Can't wait till tomorrow though cos we're going dress shopping for them both. I'm hoping it's not raining so we can go to York, but if it is then we'll head to Meadowhall in Sheffield instead

Holly has eaten so much today!

Breakfast: 2 slices of toast with peanut butter, beaker of milk
Lunch: cheese roll, tomato wedges, cucumber slices, organix puff things and a banana
Snack: 2 biscottis and 1/2 an Apple sliced into wedges
Dinner: 2 sausages, mash, veggies and gravy

What have the other stars had to eat today?

 

[Louise3512uk]

Lilia had a beaker of milk and a weetabix for brekkie, a beef sandwich with apple wedges and grapes for lunch, and cottage pie with cauliflower and broccoli and a yoghurt for tea then her bedtime milk. She hasn't had any snacks today as she got up late.. She has also started eating less at mealtimes which I put down to snacks so am trying to cut them back a bit! I think I can safely say her appetite is back to normal! Good though because looking at her I think she lost a bit of weight when she was poorly x

 

[_LauraK1982_]

Breakfast : 1x slice of toast and a banana
Snack : 4x cocktail sausages and some cheese squares (to keep her quiet while I was at the job centre !!!)
Lunch : Peanut butter sandwich, cucumber, tomato, 2x cheese biscuits and grapes
Snack : a digestive
Dinner : Tuna pasta bake and 2x yoghurts

I think Olivia eats quite alot and shes still small (Shes now 20lbs). xx

Opti have a great time dress shopping tomorrow are you going to try and get similar dresses for the two of them?

Asher - are you feeling better now after your horrendous sinus issues?

Took JJ to get his first shoes today he loved crawling around the shop. As soon as we went to take the first shoes pic he got really upset to be honest the assistant faffed for too long so he got fed up waiting and wanting to crawl again. So no first pic for us love the shoes though !
