    Thanks girls, your right Tine about a death of someone not family bringing out feelings and memories of losing a loved one. It's made me think of my mum (will be 6 months since losing her at end of the month)
    She has 3 lads,one is my age, and I just know the way they are feeling right now. So sad.
    Im a mixed bag of emotions I guess today as although I am sad at losing a friend, Im looking forward to my 12week scan tommorow. Im due back at work next week when the kids go back to school and was planning on taking my scan pic in and telling everyone my news. Don't feel I can now, it wouldn't be right would it.
    love my little man he is amazing :j

    I might wait a week or two before telling everyone - a couple of days after the funeral... I told a very good friend at her dads funeral because I knew she'd be happy that there was some good news... And it gave people something else to focus on but I only told them because I knew they'd like the fact there was something positive...
    Most people would probably have been upset if they'd known I'd told her that day.
    Once the funeral is out of the way then leave it a couple of days for normal life to resume and tell everyone :) They'll probably love having something positive to focus on :)

    The mattress we had that sunk was the expensive one from mothercare (8 years ago), with the coolmax and springs and removable cover, so maybe it is false economy. :rolleyes:

    We will be going for a cot bed and a middle of the road mattress. It will be going in the kids room and hopefully baby will stay in the crib till near enough 6 months in our room. We haven't got space for anything else.

    Do Ikea still do the room planner? The kids room is going to need some serious jiggery to fit 3 of them in there. Off to look and make plans and start a savings fund for it.

    Morning all,

    Sorry to hear your news Helen, ((hugs)).

    We had a couple of rescue dogs years ago, one never relaxed and was always snappy and the other was a dream but both were deserving cases....as they all are!!

    Can anyone help me with this, Im due 18th May, Ive hols and lieu days starting 25/26th Apr(depends on if i work this Sun) but Ive had enough!!. Im customer facing and just feel like hiding away so I dont have to deal with anyone but thats boring and not really fair to my work who are paying me and getting no sales in return!!!. Should I ask to start my ML early or should I just grin and bear it, I know it doesnt seem long to wait but 9-6, 6 days a week is now exhausting!! - any thoughts please ......

    Well guys, I made it past 35 weeks with the twins! Pretty amazed have done so after they are known to come early! Almost hitting 36 weeks! :eek:

    Have been reading but not been posting, been too stressful here. The house is all clean (had the inlaws visiting) and now have carpets in the whole house after diying for 4 years. We have moved up into our new loft BUT wour ensuite isn't finished yet. It is painted and tiled and plumbing all in place - we just need the fixtures (toilet, shower and sink putting in) and doors putting on and then builders need to finish outside. We didn't get all painting done either as physically impossible so still have all of landing and stairs etc to do but will have to be extra careful due to carpets. So been very stressful, many late nights moving things ready for carpets. :confused:

    Pregnancy wise, not been too great. Rang labour ward the other day as I have had swollen hands and feet but my feet really swelled up and became paranoid after reading about pre-eclampsia but I have no further symptoms and I have been told to rest (rest? What is that?) :confused:. My nights are terrible - the twins mound of inside me and I end up in agony - seems only to happen in the night for about 5 mins or so, several times. Got my 36 week scan on Monday so they will know more about the twins positions and can give more advice on the birth options.:o
    Proud mother of twin boys - double the trouble and twice the pleasure! :T
  • Helen, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I think people would still love to see your scan pics next week- it will give them something happy to focus.

    My OH's Nan sadly died this weekend. They weren't close but his Mum still wanted to talk about Bubs as it gave her something positive to focus on. I guess you just have to gauge how people are feeling.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p
