Emsbet, Bellola and Cheetara, thank you for the due date wishes! Can't believe this day's finally arrived - I've been fully expecting to go over my due date as that's what happens with most first babies, but it's a milestone nevertheless. Oh, and it means I will definitely have a baby by the end of next week! :T :eek:

Kittycat, your OH's attempt at being diplomatic made me laugh! :rotfl:

BB, B&Q have a bank holiday offer on where if you spend more than £100 you get 20% off, so if you need other DIY stuff too, today might be a good day to stock up Happy painting!

Emsbet, yay for kicks and punches! :j

Cheetara, very wise words re. ice cream

Rjh, I swear by Bhs for towels - they're really good quality and last for ages. They're a bit more expensive, but worth it. My local store has lots of reduced bathroom stuff at the moment, so there may well be bargains to be had. Having said that, I've been pleasantly surprised by the quality of Primark towels. I had very low expectations when I first tried them, but they're actually pretty good (and cheap!).

Miss Money, hope you're feeling better this morning ((hugs))

Apologies if I've missed anyone out, can I blame baby brain?...

It's amazing to not have to get up and go to work! Have still been up since 6 though as OH has gone out for the day. Have scrubbed the kitchen from top to bottom, cleaned the living room and vacuumed the downstairs. Now just had a cupcake and catching up on a bit of Jeremy Kyle. Can't wait for maternity leave when I can do this every day!

I can definitely recommend maternity leave - assuming you're not in too much pain, it really is an unbeatable combination of nesting, cake and crap TV! :T

Nutella - happy due date
emsbet- glad you are feeling little one kicking

My back has been really hurting again kept me awake and now im up it feels like someone has elctrodes near my kidneys and i want to curl up and cry! someone mentioned it could be getting ready for labour, I really hope so 'cos this pain isn't good!! last 2 pregnancies I had horrific period pain and I "knew" i was going into labour!
so i went to the fridge this morning to do breakfast, to find there was a scraping of butter left. oh hadnt bought anymore :mad: so gave the kids that on their ham toasties and I had to resort to melting down an easter egg and having choccy spread on my toast, as there was no jam or butter or cereal to eat!!! oh then came downstairs and asked "wheres my breakfast?!" the cheek of it. told him to fiond his own mish mash of rubbish to eat! hahaha.
hope everyone is ok xxxx

For those of you having nightmares, have a look at this. My Mum just sent it to me.

Miss_Money

i wish i had a big cuddly furry "thing" to do that to me when I have nightmares! although possibly not a big cat, 'cos it would try and eat me!

Morning all
Happy due date Nutella "has anything started yet."
RJH we got some asda towels, like their version of finest that are very soft and fluffy. Primark are very decent too, we've had a lot from there.
Ikkle I've heard of this sheep and the giraffe. Where do you get sheep from?
Emsbet glad LO is really active after your worries the other day
Hugs for your back Miss Money hope you can rest a bit after your rough night.
BB hope you enjoy your painting and choosing paint colours.
Had a bit of a rough night here with hip pain then heartburn about 5, think was the late dinner. The cat decided to sneak upstairs and plonk herself on my belly at some ungodly hour and spent most of the night there. Obv OH isn't as comfy lol. OH said "I heard you crying and groaning in the night, but I couldn't help because I was asleep" haha what can you say to that? Still OH has gone to make toast so will laze in bed watching some tv for a bit ooh LO must have heard there is food coming he's started wriggling about. So his father's son!

That is the cutest thing think I'll have to share that. Thank for sharing SM

Miss_Money

omg. the oh has just declared he is buying this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Baby-Manual-Conception-Haynes-Workshop/dp/1844257592 seriously, what goes off inside his head i have no idea! he's told me he needs it incase i'm not here... i responded if he needs a manual i'm not overly confident in leaving the baby with him alone at all!!!!!

sexymouse

Miss Money they sell that manual in Halfords - it's actually quite good - it's basically just a way of making it appeal to men, as it's a Haynes Manual. It gave me something to do whilst I was waiting for Moon to finish looking at nothing in particular one time whilst we were in there together. Think of it like a pregnancy book for men.

Sexymouse, that's soooo cute! Thanks for sharing

LMM, nothing exciting happening yet ('will let you know when it does' ), just the usual Braxton Hicks and the odd bit of random pelvic pain. Going food shopping in a bit as walking should do me good - oh, and because we've run out of white bread and cake! :eek: Yes, I did eat the last bits of toast in the middle of the night as predicted...

Meant to say thank you to everyone who commented on my situation with my overexcited friend - good to know it's not just me overreacting. Emsbet, thank you so much for sharing your own experience, it's definitely helped me see things from my friend's perspective and I will try to be patient with her. But I definitely won't text her when I'm in labour - she'll have to wait until baby's here!
