You have got "quiet" in there Jennifer... could work over the armchair maybe? (although I'm a teacher and thinking of book corners at school! Ha!)

OH wasn't keen when I tried that one!

I wasn't convinced myself! Ha! It's a shame there's no r, because then you could have relax...
I think if I could have any words at all I would have something like "Lose yourself" by the books, and maybe "snuggle" or something over the chair? You haven't got those letters but you may have others to make similar sentiments.

Oh dear, I'm glad I don't have the mood swings and hormonal tears. I haven't snapped at hubbie at all and the only time I cried and couldn't stop the odd tear for a while was when I realised I had a 90% chance of being made redundant, the bosses were being nasty about it and the stress of the short application deadline all got to me at work. I reckon pre-pregnancy it might have happened but I might at least have been able to stop, or been less worried as at least I could apply for other jobs.


Good luck to Kerri and Nickit. I hope you are both coping well and have the support you need. :grouphug:


We went shopping today and even though we're only buying 'essentials' it has added up to hundreds and there's still a few things to go! Even though we've bought sale items, no-frills and no furniture or pram yet it's still about £400 for vests, blankets, sheets, babygrows, sterilisers, bottles, mittens, wipes, swaddle blanket, grow bag, pram suit, etc. Whatever you do ladies, don't add up every penny you've spent as you'll realise that even though most things are only a tenner it's still a fortune. Then there's the NCT classes and all the maternity clothes, which really add up. When I also get the nursery furniture, pram, car seat, baby bath, bouncer, gym mat, monitor, reusable nappies, tens machine, etc, it will explain why we might not afford a foreign holiday this year. :eek:


I saw Dirty Dancing at the theatre last night. It was really good and I had a great time, although my PGP meant I was in serious pain in the seat by the end of the evening. However I recommend the show as it was fun and very well done. I don't think it was that girlie either, but my hubbie could not be convinced of that and refused to go. :rotfl: Oh well, like I minded a girlie night out. :T

Think I need to join this thread I lurk so much - as wanting to know the news from the ladies in labour!
Feeling more confident to join now Ive had my 20 week scan this week... I have got to go back as scanner could not see all parts of heart (due to wriggling) but everything else seemed fine and she has told me not to worry!


So - please could I be added?
Sophias mum - Due 30th May - Team Yellow


Thanks

I don't wanna post a new list until the labouring ladies make their announcements but I've added you to the last list, so when the new lists are posted you'll already be on them

Glad your scan went well and you're feeling more confident

Just checking in to see if we had any news!

Challenge for you all while we all keep popping in. .. Our nursery is having alphabet letters on the wall. I'm using a full set on one wall and have spelt out dream for above the cot, change for the chest we've got the changing mat on and play for the space we've left for toys. Challenge is we've also got an armchair in the room which has a small bookcase next to it. . But I can't think of the right word! Letters I have left are:
J I q f o x u I z v e w b o k o t I s. Best I can do is sit or book!

I can't make any others either, but have you tried an anagram cracking site? You can put all the letters you have in there and it'll give you all the word possibilities.


AFM I've come down with DH's cold So now MiniZee needs to wait til I can breathe again, nevermind breathe through the contractions!

Thomas Andrew was born last night at 19:26 weighing 6lbs 9ozs (36+6)

The more observant of you will notice that's a boy's name...never have I been so shocked to be shown someone's testicles! Lol

We're absolutely besotted with our little man, DH was absolutely gutted to have to leave us but he can come back 10-8 tomorrow so not to bad

Will write up full story once home but knackered now lol x

Hope you manage to get some rest.
