talk about timing!!!!! but i think that's a good thing, she gets the vast majority of it after her lo arrived!

 

[EmyDra]

Congrats again Lauz, it's tough going having two wee ones isn't it? But all worth it! Hope you're recovering well.
Poor Claire that sounds awful, as if giving birth wasn't bad enough. I have to say that Maeve's birth in the Ulster was so positive, I had an amazing midwife who even stayed on after her shift ended 'cause I begged her not to leave! It was a water birth with minimum intervention even though I swore that I'd take the strong drugs this time and the water did nothing for me last time. My experience giving birth to Odhrán in the Ulster wasn't great at all and a lot of that was down to two awful midwives. It seems to be the luck of the draw whether you get a good midwife or not.
Congrats EmyDra on your win, you should do the lottery in case you're on a roll!
So we are settling in well in our new house, still lots of junk in boxes but the extra space is fantastic. Finally got broadband so it's good to get back here and to resume my Christmas shopping!

Cool stalkings!!!

Claire said I could say that she had a baby girl, born weighing 6lbs14oz - called Matilda

I just love the name! I'll hopfully be seeing them on Tuesday. She contined to lose weight so they had a few visits from the health visitor at home but think she's gaining now

Nice to see you again Jenny :wave:

Yes that was us! You missed a whole drama about 2 minutes later where the wee man cracked his face off the floor. Cue many tears and lots of crying :/ He was far too excited about the bunnys and hamsters

There was no getting me in my old clothes at 32 weeks (in face, its still a no-goer!) so you're doing well

 

[holywoodmum]

can you believe this time next week xmas will be over?! Still feeling massively unprepared, then it'll probably all pass in a great anti-climax, and bleh.
Maybe I'll get my xmas bfp to cheer me up!

 

[NuKe]

i hope so holywood!!

im ridiculously excited for xmas!! started my "big" shop list today... this hosting xmas thing is going to be stupidly expensive! thank GOD the inlaws are bringing the ham and my folks bought the turkey!

 

[tiggertea]

I thought I had loads of stuff pre-bought for Xmas dinner etc... My 'still to get' list says otherwise...

 

[EmyDra]

My contribution to Christmas dinner at my parents = half eaten tin of Roses.

 

[NuKe]

 

[holywoodmum]

We'll be at my folks for Xmas. They do the shopping but DH cooks... That's as far as our contribution goes. Apart from providing cute children who believe in santa

 

[EmyDra]

Hoping you have got number 3 snuggled up in there holywoodmum

 

[Loui1001]

I'm cooking this year too and my 'still to get' list is massive

 

[xpinkpandax]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a still to get list! Makes me feel alot better rather than hearing 'oh I've been finished since September' lol I'm never organised and always leave things til the last minute, but I least now I feel a bit normal and not the only one!
