Whats wrong with twinkle?
I know the "issue" with baa baa but we still sing it at all our groups :cool: although we now have to add on the end thank you said the master, thank you said the dame and thank you said the little boy who lives down the lane - can't forget manners now!!

Well hun, I think that's awesome. I hope you get nice and rested up, have some fun and stick the middle finger up at nasty work!

Trouble is I miss the children, oh flip, that made me cry again!

Dunno about other mums and singing to crying babies, didn't matter about the words, when I forgot them I would fill them in with all sorts of rubbish as it is the tone of voice that matters. Used to have my older kids in stitches.

Oh I think I know.. it mentions a 'traveler' in the 'dark'.....
Jane Taylor wrote the lyrics in 1806.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky you keep,
While you thro' my window peep,
And you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

I'm overweight anyway (apparently not too much for the hospital to worry about) but my belly is definately bigger. I don't really look pregnant yet just like I've got fatter but it does feel firmer than a fatty belly if you know what I mean. Can't weight til I look pregnant so people will see it's not just that I've eaten too many pies.

I'm overweight but have a proper bump, have done for a while, and get asked by strangers alot when my baby is due, then get the 'omg your bump is huge' when i tell them how far I am, this has made me quite paranoid tbh.
I've not put weight on anywhere else though, if anything i've lost it or just stayed the same.
I was the same with DS, just looked like I had a beachball shoved up my top
Might get the camera out and take a pic

They will be there when you go back! Surely you can visit them?

a question ladies...not pregnancy related, but children related:-

do you (those that already have children) have a favourite nursery rhyme book? was watching something on telly last night that was talking about nursery rhymes and i am going to need to refresh my knowledge for those nights when i am trying to get bubs to sleep.

any suggestions welcome

Not a book but a CD. It has the rhymes in English and then Spanish :cool:. I think I might love it a bit more than Poppy! :D.

Traveller in the dark?

There are stars, it's gonna be dark!

Me too I usually end up going "blah blah blah go to sleep u little swine"

and I refuse to sing anything other than black sheep- Sheep and therefore their wool comes in 2 colours black or white fact! in the old days black wool was rarer and more expensive hence the song if you are offended by it then you have a very small mind and need to get a life IMHO :cool:

a few years ago an old friend who I hadn't seen in ages patted my belly and said 'Oh I see we have another bun in the oven!' To which I replyed 'no... I'm just fat....' :embarasse
