I'm FXing its she's not quite that size MC, but I guess you never know No I won't be doing much today, and you have a nice rest too x

Coral, Hope it rains over the school for you I know what you mean, I'm just glad I don't have to take Jessica, Its all go with her dancing and Majorettes, seems to be something every blooming weekend! Luckily her trainer is good about taking her, although I do miss going and being there for her. Have you had a look at that book? I probably made a huge mistake saying about the funny pictures in front of the kids, I bet they have been on a mission to look x

Howdy!

Tink you must be exhausted by now, bet u can't wait to get your body back! Only 3 sleeps til Lily is here Im going to guess 8lbs exactly even though they said you were 8lbs at your last scan.

Yeah MC this is my first baby, im 24 but will be 25 by the time baby arrives x

Avenue Q is a very recent musical which is pretty much real life, it touches on racism, homophobia, homelessness, marriage, one night stands, prostitution but makes it funny.

Here's some youtube links...

Schadenfreude

Everyone's a little bit racist

The Internet is for porn

oh yeh... there's puppets....

Jenny, I think you and Coral will be the closest with guesses, I'm thinking smaller rather than bigger! Hope your ok honey! I think 25 is a great age to have a bubba x

PC, thanks for the info, It certainly looks funny! Might have to have a nice evening out after Lily is here x

Yes tink read most of the book, and Ryan has been looking in it but I'm not bothered. It is very informative although I got a bit scared when I read that she recommends cosleeping to make bf easier. I made that mistake before and really want baby to sleep in her own bed this time. I know it's going to be very exhausting the first few weeks.

Heard from our Phoebles this morning, she's still preggo, but bumpkins defo wants out She's tired, in a lot of pain, and has got an upset tum. She's also busy getting everything ready for the babies arrival, and her furniture arrived so they are getting it all set up today She sends loving regards for all Ding Dongs and promises to post soon. x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Anyone else having trouble with posts? i posted two that said i must wait 20 seconds before posting again, then it told me my post would have to be checked by the mods?

 

[puppycat]

testing

 

[puppycat]

worked fine for me Tink.

It's absolutely lashing it with rain here - joyous.

I'll try and post this again, this is the 4th time now, why wont it post for heavens sake?!:

Coral, yeah I wasn't massive on that section either. My plan with mine was to feed laying down in bed, maybe doze a bit whilst feeding. Then I'd sit up and wind them and put them back to bed. I co-slept with my first, and regretted it massively, he wouldn't sleep on his own at all. So really, I say ignore that section, she know's her BF stuff but the sleeping stuff is way too relaxed if you want a bubba you can actually put down on their own. I also quite like G. Ford who she slates Whilst I think her routine's ARE too rigid, using them as a guide and aiming for similar timings etc really helped mine to settle x

You might see my eldest today Coral, he's going to the fete with DH dad. Please excuse the state of him he sat in his PJ's all morning, then got up 1 min before DH's dad was coming to get dressed. He went out wearing a creased tee, and hair all dorky, with crusty bits of esterdays hair gel in it x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Oh my days, tell you why it wouldn't post my original message, its cause I put the name in of a controversial baby book writer, I just did a test post with her name in it how ridiculous?!?! must have been some bother over her before Anyhow, it was G.Ford if you want to look up who I mean, it posted when I shorted her name

 

[coral11680]

Ooo that's funny I don't know who u are talking about but will have a looky up.

I wing say jello if I see franklyn he will think I'm some crazy pregnant woman

I'm going there at 1.30 ish that's when they are supposed to be on?

 

[poppy666]

Just watching OBEM USA on catch up - I don't like the nurse in with the black girl - so negative

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Oh yeah, I watched it too we never commented on it here did we? It does really highlight how different the US birth experience is to in the UK for me. I know the natural birthing couple were a bit OTT but it was like natural birth like that was weird? Also how everyone was in bed, not encouraged to sit, walk or get on all fours. Also here the midwife just grabs a sterile birth pack, gloves and apron for the delivery, and gets another midwife in the room to assist. It seems like over there a doc comes in looking like a surgeon with a sterile trolley of surgical instruments! Is there really any need with a normal straight forward birth? x

 

[puppycat]

I'm just not getting anything from this already, it's just sterile and hospitaly and bleurgh. Sorry USA ladies but this isn't anywhere near as emotional as the UK version, it does seem like they have an awful lot of intervention by default :S

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

I also can't get my head round the amount of wood in that hospital, wood must be such a bugger to clean x

 

[puppycat]

lol my favourite line so far...

'Tasha's a little worried about the size of her baby so I said well you just gotta watch who you reproduce with. Big daddies, big babies.'

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Yes PC, I felt the same to be honest. Its like you go in, put a gown on, get meds, wait for a bit, put your legs in stirrups, get a surgeon deliver your baby with lots of scary equipment, and get given a baby once they have sterilised it first Sorry too sounding negative, its just such a shame, is it always like an minor op over there?! x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

I'll tell my DH PC, he's average height and slim. He will like being called a 'Big Daddy who made a big baby' x
