  • Hello Ladies!

    Congrats to the new arrivals! ML and Nikki! Beautiful names and babies!

    Speak soon! Hopefully when there will be more news from you lot!!! :T

    Am I horrid for not taking any vitamins? :o I took pregnacare during the first 12 weeks but the doctor then told me they're dressed up in fancy packaging to make you feel you should buy them, and as I am not anemic (my iron count was 15 - apparently v good for someone who doesn't eat red meat at all :confused:) they're not necessary.

    Lizziebell...I think you should buy a 207 :D It's a gorgeous car, I loooove it, so so big in comparison to the Aygo too, almost felt like driving a bus being in something so comparatively massive!!

    OH has managed to talk me out of getting an extra scan, said we can find out at 20 weeks & I'm being wasteful :( & we should save the money to get a 4d scan, though I'm not 100% sure as I kinda want the surprise of finding out what baby looks like at birth?! (do I sound mental?!) Still, trying to wangle one from family friend who works in the hospital who did me one at 13 weeks...so who knows, I might get a little freebie :D

    Ooooh Always, I love that bouncer it's brilliant, would love lovely in my minimalist house...lalala wonders off to contemplate buying...:rolleyes:

    Had to do the most gross thing today, in Leeds there's a bin man strike and today's 3 weeks since they were last emptied, so I had to put the bags into the car and drive them to the tip :eek: Still feel sick from it now - just eaten a pack of mini digestives, first thing I've been able to even try and eat since!! Might sue the council for the trauma :p

    OH is taking me out tonight, I've gotta decide where to but not sure what I wanna eat...suggestions please? :)

    I hope they dont change the dates, i like that we have so similar dates hehe.

    We're having our 4d scan after the 20 week scan, not to sure when to have it yet though. Dont want to have it to early, but dont want to have to wait, im very impatient hehe.
  • Hubby has just told me about a new MRSA test that he has to give every patient from now on. He said i will have to have it as having a section. It's a swab from your......... perineum :eek:
    I feel sorry for him having to do that, When his field is not naughty bits. He said you have to have it done a couple of days before any op. I am hoping this is just his place of work and not the hospital i will be going to.
    What's wrong with the normal nose swab test.
    This is my signature!

    Elasti- I had that before surgery last year, it was done at the pre-op assessment but it was 'self administered' IYKWIM!! Don't think I would have been comfortable if someone else had done it! This was in addition to nose swab test

    Home at last! :D The bus journey was awful, it was hot and sticky and smelly. And some woman bought her dog on and put him in the section were you put shopping and then the dog wouldn't get out the shopping bit when she wanted to get off. She was stood there pulling his lead and his face was smacking against the metal bar and she was yelling (in a high pitched voice :confused:) "GET OUT, COME ON ITS TIME TO GET OUT"
    After about 10 mins of this she lifted him out lol. I was thinking 'why couldn't she of done that after he didn't budge the first time' :rotfl:

    Then another woman got her little trolley stuck under the bus which held it up. But im home, at last :D

    I had to do this for an op i had, not from my perineum though :p I dont know why but that word makes me smile :)
    I had to rub a cotton bud up my nose and another on my groin. Maybe now MRSA chooses to live on the perineum :rotfl:
