congrats on team blue kindofagilr. We seem to be having a run of boys.

I hate having colds when you can't take anything strong for them. I was going to aquanatal tomorrow but i can't see i will be well enough. Hubby wanted a roast dinner tonight but he may have to lump it.

Mil is doing my head in a bit, she for some strange reason thinks we are going to call the baby william so she keeps calling him bill all the time. How is bill? ive knitted bill some booties and jumpers. When is your next scan to see bill etc hubby got so fed up he told her last night stop calling him bill that is not his name and he won't be called william either. So we will see if she carrys on or not. I think it goes back to her telling us that the name we were thinking of was going to hubbys brothers choice if they had had a boy for some reason she thinks it's not fair that we want to call him that when they wanted it. how can i say this any more clearer to her? THEY HAD A GIRL! and we didn't know they had choosen it!
It will not stop us having that name it is tough. So there.

Gymfriend were you seeing the consultant yesterday too? Did that go ok?

I'm looking forward to my next MW appointment in 2 weeks (25 weeks). Not only as I can get my HiPG form!!

OMG don't apologise! I think it's great that you know so much! And that you are so willing to share / help others.

I agree though, it's really good to be informed. I personally want to do the best I possibly can for my baby (as does everyone else on here, like you say) and I believe the best way to do that is by taking other people's advice and help and looking at different ways of doing things.

On a totally different note, I'm just eating my tea, slow cooker turkey joint casserole with dumplings :drool: I love my new slow cooker!!

Totally agree with SJ here

Also SJ can I have the recepie for your turkey casserole please

Agukta - Let it all out xxx

SJ - OH is like that, if he has coffee later than 2pm he is up for hours at night, me I can drink coffee till I go to bed and still sleep lol

Aless - OH is driven mad with my snoring lol, nothing I can do about it lol

EA - ohhh let me know what they say lol cos I will be 26 weeks too lol, I cannot wait for new Moon

CSh - Aww I am pleased everything is going fab xxx

Gymfiend - caffine they say 200mg which is 2 cups??? well that what my info says from midwife I dunno lol is it so hard for them to keep info the same lol

EA - I dont undeerstand the entitledto site either lol

MERFE

afternoon

hope everyone scans went well today.

csh he is lovely, looks really peaceful in that pic.

Well I've had a sleep this morning and feel loads better but was nearly late to pick DS up from school. Gonna have a bath in a minute then pick DD up from school. Then all i have to do is cook dinner and go to work. Its such a miserable day outside, I hope it clears up a bit, I dont mind it being cold but hate it when its so wet.

I wasn't there so i don't know but i don't think she said anything back to him. I have got them coming over for dinner at the weekend so we will see if she mentions it again.

MW did me a MatB1 at my last apt 30 weeks but it wasn't really for me as i am a sahm but hubby will use it to prove i am pg to get pat leave.

EA - you should get your MATB1 at your next appt as you have to turn it in by 25wks to work. You won't get HiPG 'til you're at least 24 weeks though, so not til the appt after next .

kindofagilr
