If your still reading this try and keep what ever you mopped the waters up with the midwife will want to check that they are clear :-)

sending quick and easy labor vibes SJ,

:j:j:j:j:j
will be thinking of you!!

Somnium

Woah you ladies have been busy posters lol.

SJ - Oooh so exciting your waters have gone, lots of easy labour vibes for ya hun xx Its mad, OH doesnt like enchiladas either! In fact cooking wise Id say he likes his food pretty plain and simple, so makes my life pretty boring. Hope lil one take after me and not her dad! Glad you likey the cookies thanks for the recipe and intresting about the bacon and the mustard, both me and OH hate mustard too so not worth buying IMO, usually have regular bacon or ham about so should be able to make without going to the shops Sorry to hear about your Grandad, hope he is well and home again soon x

CAFC - woah you got that house sorted fast, am mega jelous (but in a nice way!) yeay for nursery and puppy coming home, he's a mega cutie Oh and planning walks is so not sad I dont walk H atm cos of my SPD, I wouldnt be able to walk fast enough and would struggle to get his poop! But looking forward to taking him and bubs out after

Glam - think its fab all you new mummies still lurk I have the slightly older version of that monitor and love it (yes me and OH have it out already and use it as an intercom lol) it does everything you listed for the 150 except the timer (tho it may have that too will have to go read), and it is green with pretty stars which is why I liked it lol. Hope your back here in a year too, might see you then if Im as lucky as all the docs say and this PG has given me the kick I need to concieve naturally Eek at the 3 kids already too!!! Am lucky as my OH has already started all the things he cant wait to do, although I now how nervous he is he is also keen bless. He said not to batch cook too as he will take care of cooking when bubs arrives till I get into a routine. Also he is home from 3pm ish so will be handy And he already does the house work, lucky me

Choccy - what did you have at F&Bs? Glad you had a fab time

Twinkles - new rules state that all yummy recipes must be shared hehe, especially if you say ther easy so come on fess up carrot cake recipe please?
OH and Im a to do list person as well otherwise I forget/put it off!

Agutka - did you give in to the gateaux? My BMI is 30 (well was at booking in, before was nearer 26!) and no GTT or extra scan for me!

Kindof - was only weighed at booking in too, but due to the IVF my booking in I was almost 11 weeks and had already gained over a stone by then (think it had something to do with falling off the diet wagon once pg hehe). The rest of my weight gain has been a lil slower thank godness but have gained around 2 1/2 to 3 stone eek! Oh and I wouldnt worry about your BMI atm as that wont account for bubs.

Gym - yeay for date for wedding So very fab. Both dresses are fab but think I like the 2nd best

Muso - yeay for 25 weeks, boo for reappearance of sickness Hope you have a fab day today, never been to wagmamas so cant comment on the food! Your doing really well getting organised too

32b - boo to your OH too, I suppose I really shouldnt moan at mine now hearing yours and Glams tales!

Right, need to give OH a poke he's still asleep and the dog wants a walk! I want breakfast too but dont think I can wait, we had planned bacon sarnies Mmmm. No other plans but think will possibly go see in laws at some point.

SJ Good luck dont worry too much about not starting contractions straight away ,
with DS I went to hosp as soon as waters went (4am) went to get checked and I was having very mild contractions I coudn't feel them but they could see on monitor ,I went home till 7pm then went back to hosp and still managed to have my water birth I wanted at 7am the next day

Kindof your BMI is now right, not before? There's no way from pics your BMI was 34.6 pre Elliot! Duh, just re-read and you already said it was! I've not been weighed since booking in either, though having bathroom scales right by the loo means I check all too often

On monitor talk, I was talking to SJ about this the other day - we've got a retro one that was given to us that we'll use and some promised as a gift, that I'm trying to politely ask them not to get us, think our retro ones will be fine

Yeah thats my BMI now-ish lol I am ok with it though cos I feel like I am all bump, so I am not too concerned about any weight gain.

I plan on rejoining slimming world as soon as I can once beany is here.

FYI for people wanting to BF, I read yesterday that if you are planning on exercising (once we are allowed) that you shoudlnt do it before nursing as it can make milk taste bitter, so nurse first

You are all making me want to bake!!! I got the ingrediants in a while ago to make gingerbread men, I might have a bash at it this week

Awww CAFC your dog is lush!!!

Gymfiend - are you going for a water birth? I am hoping too, but at the hospital, there is only one birthing pool so its first come first served. SJ I know you are having a home birth in a pool, what are you planning on wearing?

I know you Glam lol

Gynfiend - babybean loves RLT as well, he totally kicks me lol ysy for wedding date

SJ - I hope your grandad is ok

Glam thats a good idea, I just presuymed OH would know what to do, I will be doing most feeds cos I am hoping to BF, but I do want to express so OH can do a few bottles (which he does want to do) he wants to bath him and stuff but we havent talked about it really lol

We used to share cooking but he seems to think I am going to cook for him for 11 months while I am on mat leave, I cant let him get out of cooking or he wont start again, he does housework now

On the MW front, Ive only ever seen MW's and Ive seen them loads

Muso I am jelaous of your lunch today, I would go for wagamamas, we live 30 mins drive away from our "local" wagamamas so I dont get to have them often, I get Chicken Tama Rice every time lol I love it

Yay for getting most of the nursery set up, Toys R Us had a Hauck travel cot down from 60 to 30 we got it but I dontknow if they still have it?

SJ EEK for your waters breaking!!!!!! Have you filled the pool!!!!!!!!!! OH says good luck (as do I of course lol) xxx

well I need to plan the weeks meals I am going try and maily use stuff from the freezere and cupboards cos weve had too many takeaways this weekend and we are trying to only spend £140 a month on food total (we had been doing ok spending less than £30 a week)

Congratulations IHF Have just caught up lol
Hope all is going well with bubs, I'm loving it even when i'm exhausted at 4 am and up at 6am.

Here's a pic of Aiden hope it works I'm useless at links lol

kindofagilr

Awww three he is gorgeous!!!!

Somnium

32b - Aiden is so cute Glad your enjoying being a Mummy

Kindof - like you Im hoping for a waterbirth and our hospital only has the one birth pool! Also just found out last week over the next month and a bit the labour ward is having all its rooms refitted, so hope the pool room is out of action when I need it. Plan on using one of the home from home rooms that has a bath if it is, fingers crossed! the excercise thing was never mentioned at our BF work shop, intresting tho cos we were told its really hard to make bad milk even if you have a bad diet!

twinkles - just seen your recipe thanks x
