Somnium

Wow this thread sure moves fast, I would have popped back sooner had I known.

Jennynoo - thanks for the welcome I will be 5 weeks tomorrow, still early days but feeling good so far.

Evansangel - Congrats on BFP, am also due beginning of March, 1st according to FF.

Thanks to everyone else for the warm welcome :hello:

Going to Windsor later to have a mooch round, hoping to find a nice comfy dress to wear. I know am not far in yet but for last week or so am finding everything so uncomfy around my tummy. Was bloated from IVF and it went for a while but has come back again and can't be doing with it when am not at work.

Morning all!

Somnium, you'll get used to it - no leaving the computer for more than an hour unless you have a few to spare catching up....

Elle, I'm so excited for you. It must feel almost unreal to have him so close to coming home!

Good luck Tara, labour vibes for late tonight or tomorrow.

Lovely husband (back to being lovely husband!) has been up for an hour and already accomplished most of his list. He's flying through it to get as much done as possible. Wonderful man that he is.

Bellyfrog is misbehaving atrociously - just stretched in such a way that the skin of my belly got trapped between her little foot and the desk. Then she paused for a second while I rubbed it, waited till I settled back down and did it again!

I got up this morning from lying on my right side, and my whole belly was completely flat on that side and there was an eerily clear view of baby's body through my skin. Nothing detailed, but shoulder bulge, arm, drawn up knees, little foot ... I'm mildly repulsed, to be perfectly honest, although I do love knowing she has all the appropriate parts in all the right places.

And with that, a swift punch to the bladder. Surely she shouldn't have the room for that any more!

I'm adding my list for today again because it's easier to find further on:

white laundry
move box from computer room to kitchen as soon as the rubbish is gone out
find flatpacked changing table and the changing mat
clean bathroom/area round computer
find a meantime home for books to give away
find home for the DVDs on the desk
sort through papers

Ooh, welcome Somnium. Sorry, I think I missed you yesterday but huge congratulations to you. This thread does move fast!

I know what you mean about trousers feeling tighter. Nothing worse than being pregnant and your waistband cutting in. It makes you feel so yuck. Hope you find something on your shopping trip. Summer vests and leggings or three quarter length linen trousers and vests are my staple wardrobe at the moment! I have no proper smart trousers or any jeans that fit me now!

Plan for today is finish post holiday washing, do pre-work ironing, do some gardening and blitz the kitchen. My step sister is staying Friday night too, so need to clear out the baby's room a bit to fit the sofa bed down...have bought quite a lot and it's all just been dumped in there in its packaging for now .

Anyone else growing their own veggies? Mine are looking great (if I do say so myself). We have tomatoes, beans, courgettes, rocket and spinach and it's come on loads while we were away.

Morning, OH off with very excited kids. It's Bens actual birthday on Friday but we thought it best to do the day out now so they've gone to a funpark with friends. Think OH was as excited as the kids!

Still no news from Mrs Moc, hope your ok! X

Somnimum, Gemma & EA – congrats to you all!!
Pookie – great scan pictures, you must be excited.
MM – great news about Dylan. Will be wonderful to have him home with you.
GISI – glad you had a nice holiday, it’s nice to get away and relax and forget about work!
Hello/hugs to everyone else, especially Harley. I was very busy yesterday, but popped on a few times to keep up to date. Didn’t meant to ignore everyone else, but couldn’t not reply to BC’s posts when I had a spare second!
Carpet fitters came and so we now have carpets again! And the living room etc is all painted and papered, so spent the day moving all the furniture and stuff back into place, so it’s looking nice. It’s the kitchen and garden to tackle next.
Today I have parents coming for dinner. They were meant to come last Sunday for Father’s Day, but I cancelled them as the house wasn’t finished and I had the cold. OH is visiting MIL, but I am just staying home to do cooking and washing etc. Off for a shower now!

I'm catching up - got to the end of page 85 and you're all talking about someone coming back to join us. I've not read the other thread but I'm going to hazard a guess at EA cos she was testing yesterday...... gonna catch up then check the TTC thread.

It's like a whodunnit, isn't it? I was being a detective all round the place last night - I started off in the Parent thread wondering if someone was having a speedy second, and then a couple of random threads before realising that the TTC thread was a logical place to go.

Glamazon

I thought of a speedy second but then remembered EA was testing so knew it must be her!

Congrats EA hunny - am so glad you are back with us.

Well been to 3 car boots today and local BHF furniture charity shop - MIL and FIL had seen a gorgeous wardrobe with top-box for £50 like the one they paid £400 for but it had gone. Gutted but will be keeping an eye out there now! Got another bag of baby clothes - 10 items for £1.50 and a 'Book of Firsts' for 50p.

GISI - glad u had a nice holiday! Wish I was going aboard, oh well, it's supposed to be really warm this week so will be in work for 8am so I can leave at 4pm.

Think the sleep problems are starting - I hardly got any sleep last night, too hot and kept getting cramp in my left calf!

Right, I must find Job Description for this interview tomorrow

Massive congrats to EA, welcome back! Lots of *healthy little heart vibes* to your little bean.

Great news about Rhys, the scaryness will go away after the first week Elle!

DH, DS2 and I went to the car boot and I got this for £3 in a box only used a couple of times. DS2 got two RC daleks and a cyber man, brand new in the box for £6 But now we need to get batteries :rolleyes:

I have a pain in my bump today, started last night on the lower right side about the size of a fist and today it is up the whole right side. Don't know if it is the way I've been sleeping or what. A good number of BH while we were walking about too, had to stop for them. So I'm doing nothing else today.
