    Hi everyone,

    Glad to hear there are older ladies on here too, I was starting to feel a bit past it! Damn the housing market for meaning I was 32 when we first bought a place.... and needing the first year to spend on repairs!

    Hope Apricot and Sequeena feel better soon! I had a night like that on Weds, brought on by eating too many sugary things me thinks, but it did make me realise 'what if' this starts happening regularly. All my best laid plans would dissapear, all the things I want to still achieve in the next 17 weeks.

    So on that basis, is anyone interested in setting up some 'Bucket Lists'?
    We would support eachother in gettings things done!

    MY BUCKET LIST:
    ============

    See 2 movies back to back at cinema and enjoy all by myself
    Paint dining room
    Have a picnic at least once with a lovely selection of food
    Finish bathroom
    Go away with friends for one night somewhere nice
    See a sunrise with OH one morning
    Enjoy at least 2 meals out with OH

    Claireloo what time is your scan tomorrow? Mine isn't until late so I wont be able to report back till prob gone 6ish.

    Hi Doglover - its 1.20pm. Will be in work in the morning and then gonna try and skive off for the rest of the afternoon :rotfl:There's no one else in the office and part of me thinks I should go back in to man the office but then again, I'm entitled to my time off and its not my fault the boss has given everyone else holiday at the same time ;) I mean the hospital will probably be running late anyway....

    My poor sister is only 8.5 weeks pg and has been in hospital with severe MS for 3 days this week. She's home now but still feels so rotten. It goes to show how lucky I've been with lack of symptoms even if I did panic there would be nothing there at the 12 week scan LOL.

    Oh and since we're confessing our ages I will be the big 3-0 next Saturday :eek: Lovely OH is whisking me away to the south of france for a week (was meant to be a surprise but he let it slip a couple of days ago doh) and I will be treating myself to a glass of champers on my birthday. :D

    Sounds like a lovely trip - OH has no time left to take off before paternity leave in July, otherwise trip to South of France might be on my bucket list :o You will have a lovely time and the weather will be fab - what a way to remember your 30th!

    Good luck for those with scans tomorrow - don't forget to post the pics!

    sparkle there are lots of things that I want to do before July although I haven't actually sat down and made a list yet. Good idea though!

    It's so hard choosing a name......I had imagined that once we knew we were having a girl a name would just jump out at us. We have a few names that we agree on but nothing that I love!

    clairloo, sorry i somehow missed what u wrote.
    what a kind OH, have a wonderful 30th. it sounds a fab place to go. i'm 30 in sep !!! tbh i'm not worried about how old i get, but i find it mad how quick the time has gone. been with hubby since 19 and it doesn't feel like 10 years. i just want life to slow down a bit so can enjoy it even more.

    Well my little boy is even more poorly. His rash has got worse. i know this sounds awful but i've asked doc to phone again as i simple can't remember what he said about if the rash got worse. i know he said if it goes purple about hospital. Oh i really do hate being so forgetful. MY little one has been so clingy and tearful. but he's had a fab 3 hours sleep so hopefully that will do him some good.

    he is currently eating dora fromage frais. it is the only thing he wants to eat, i don't mind at least he is eating. and he's watching fireman sam so he is very content. just wish i could do more for him. He is being a trooper tho, he has to take the most gross medicine ever, yet he does and still give a smile afterwards. this bit of being a mummy is so hard, u just want to take the illness away and make them better.

    Evening all.

    Hope you are all well!

    I just did a spot of shopping (yes I know, not v MSE!) and I found this. I got so excited I ordered it for hubby - going to stash it for a fathers day present for him ;)

    I forgot who asked (sorry baby brain) but type 1 diabetes is the worst :( if I have it I will be injecting myself daily for the rest of my life :eek: either in the stomach or the thigh. I remember from childhood that my father did it in his thigh. Yuck.

    Braxton hicks galore here! Thomas is going mental too! 22 weeks today, baby will be viable before I know it and I will have to go into the big pregnancy thread *hangs onto this thread tightly* :rotfl:

    22 week bump. It's bigger than it looks because my OH took the picture lying down
