Oh no turtlemoose! I noticed you weren't on the list but assumed that you didn't want to go as I didn't remember seeing you saying you wanted to I'm sorry! Do you want to go on now? I know it's ridiculously late!

Lol emsbet don't worry, seems a bit daft to do it now - it'll throw loads of other numbers out, and anyway (listen bump!) It is supposed to be hurrying up and coming soon

I think my temperature regulation has gone on the blink. I've had all my windows open at work and 2 fans on. The poor kids were complaining it was too cold all afternoon.
Bah, they just need to man up in my opinion!

haha turtle, I don't understand the fascination with grown men and ps3's?! Call of Duty, Modern Warfare......I dunno.
He only goes on it when I'm not here, in the bath or on the laptop so I can't complain! Just don't get it, my 15 year old nephew comes round to play it with him, OH is 31! Saddo's!

Although he says the same about facebook......he hates it and I check it a few times a day, same thing I suppose!

Well mrsbryan I am partial to the odd game myself (in fact I must confess all our consoles are technically mine!) But i like a wide range of games and like to play with others.....not just race a car round and round and round and round and oh crash! Start again! :rotfl:

I prefer old school Amiga.

We're getting a kitty on Saturday and I'm meeting one of my friends if we're both upto it.

Haven't read back properly but will do soon, hope your all well?

One of my cousins had FHS and I was looking at heart pillows for baby, not sure whether to order one or not though? Any one got any idea's/info on them x

ladymorticia yay for kitty don't know if you've seen earlier on the thread but theres a few of us with bump-loving cats. Mine loves to drape herself across the bottom of it and purr, in return she gets pummelled in the back/belly - I think its like a massage chair for her!

My cats are really not sure about all the baby stuff that seems to be appearing in the house... :rotfl: They are in for a shock, bless 'em.

I have been having SERIOUS braxton hicks all avo...to the point where they're actually a bit painful and make me stop what I'm doing to breathe! When I was being monitored on tues I had two that registered high enough on the scale for the midwife to say they were labour level...! :eek:

Don't come yet baby, I'm not quite ready for you...!

Evening all! Just watched the Parent Trap Tonight special on childcare costs - scary stuff! I'm lucky that my Mum has volunteered to look after Bean for a couple of days a week, but I'm sure that I'm going to have to pay her something as it's not very fair to expect her to look after him for nothing. I want to stay at home for as long as possible before he's old enough to go to school, so I'm hoping that if the new scheme of 2-year-olds going to nursery for so many hours per week for free takes off, that this will mean that I can send him to nursery when he's 2 for a couple of days a week, provided I can still afford to pay for the petrol for supply teaching by that point. I know it's a long way off, but I can't help but worry about these things. I've even been considering the possibility of becoming a childminder myself, but I know that they earn a pittance, so not sure if all of the Ofsted and paperwork etc involved would be worth it. Moon doesn't earn a huge amount as he works in retail for a small family business, so not sure how we will afford for me to work too if we do have to pay for childcare. Is anyone else who currently works considering giving up work completely when their child is born?

Had the first day of a 2-day course today at a 5* hotel, and met some other lovely supply teachers. It was nice to meet other supply teachers as usually when you're in a school, you never see each other, so it can be rather an isolating job. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, and the course leader said that we may finish a bit earlier tomorrow too, so I plan to have a quick wander around the shops whilst I'm there afterwards, as the hotel have given us free carparking.

All this talk of bump measuring has got me really excited for my next midwife appointment, as it'll be the first time I've been measured, so I'm intrigued to know how Bean is on the charts - everyone keeps on telling me how tiny I look for nearly 6 months, but I hope this isn't a bad thing. I think my uterus must be quite high up though, as I'm feeling some of the kicks under my ribs already (23wks + 4), and it may explain the heartburn if my tummy has been squashed up for a while. He's certainly a jumping Bean. lol

Just been looking at that list to see when everyone is due, and noticed that fluffnutter's due date says 2011! lol Muffin must be well overdue by now - no wonder you want her out!

Well I'm off to put my feet up and watch Maternity Ward.

Hugs to all who need or want them, and labour vibes where appropriate.
