Hiya Folks, still here waiting!!! It was my due date yesterday so I'm now officially overdue, although only a day so can't moan just yet.
Had my midwife appointment on Tuesday and cos she's really kind and nice she gave me a sweep which seems to have done some good cos I've lost loads of my plug, can't be much more to come away after what came away yesterday afternoon and last night. Just hoping that this is the start of things for me.
Lynne, that pedicure sounds really really nice, nearest I've got to pampering myself is having a go with my foot spa ONCE!!!!!!! Will they start you off early due to the SPD or will they make you go full term?
Hannah, 14 weeks will fly, I know if doesn't sound and feel like it will but before you know it you'll be in single figures. Are you planning on going back to work after the baby?
Vicki, I think the last few weeks when your handing over your work are the worst as you've not technically got anything to do cos you've handed it all over. I think that getting out in late pregnancy is the way forward, fill your diary up with as much as you can and the days will fly by. You woulnd't believe how much I've done in the later stages, even yesterday and today I've got full days planned.
Did I tell you that we bought a new car? Can't remember if I did or not, just reminded me when I saw that Vicki's new car (well PJ's) hadn't arrived yet.
Right best get off and watch Peppa Pig!!!! LOL.

howdy all
Wow Lynne - pedicure sounds amazing - never do stuff like that - had nails done a few times and legs waxed but thats as far as my beauty regime goes. Might look into it tho cos my feet suck and have dead skin on - yummy!! Def starting to wind down now - getting tired when get home from work again. Not so bad at weekends even when we are busy but work seems to knacker me out - think cos worry about stuff and also have nothing to do sometimes so get sleepy.
Any news from Clager yet - come out little bubs we want to say helloooo.
Hannah - your time left at work will wizz by - mine has can't belive only 5 1/2 weeks left and 2 of those i'm on holiday - woohoooooo. Hopeing that can relax more in final two weeks but not looking hopeful as will stillbe handing over jobs as no-one to replace me yet - agggggggggggg. Really wanted it dorted beore i went on hol so that could chill out and trouble shoot in two weeks back and mayb sneek off if tired.
We still have to get a baby monitor - can anyone reccomend one cos there are sooo many - all very confusing.
Well, i'm off to see girls aloud on friday night at Newmarket Nights race thingy - soooooo excited cos i love them (sad i know). Will be nice to get out and dfo something diferent before BW arives - yippeeeee. Have a busy weekend actually, have my g-dads 80th party on sunday too - so shall be driving back from Kent so PJ and my mum and dad can have a drink - will hopefully be in PJ's new car tho so uber cool. Can't belive his fliping car isn't here yet - it's been AGES - bloody volvo people!!!!!!!!
right, lunch nearly over now so i'm off.
hugs to all - hope to hear some news son Claire.

Anyhow - best get off to make some dinner for the husband and to try to write a liast of what we need to pack for the mini break to brum - how hard is it to remember everything when you have kids?! Different world completelty!!!

good afternoon all, it was nice to hear from you clagger, that you were ok tell me about the pevis problem that is what i have been like since 28 weeks some times i cant lift my legs to walk, as the weight in my pelvis maybe i am having a 14lb'er better not?????
clagger how much weight have you put on since you are at final stages now?
well vicky your body will be telling you soon to calm down and the luxury pedicure is brill, the hot wax that you dip your feet in in fantastic its like getting a manicure and you dip your hand in the wax then the glove goes on and then it peels off and leaving you a nice layer of new skin, your feet will fee; like walking on air.
hopw everyone is doing fine and dandy, will catch up with you all soon
lynne 35 +6
whoop whoop better go soon as bum cant take anymore lol xxx

14/7/08 13:41
right, have had a catch up now - phew. at least not as many posts as i was expecting - not just me being a busy bee then.
clagger - come out baby stringer - show yourself. we want to meet you -keep eating the curry and pineapple and drink raspberry tea stuff. sure we will hear from cat the moment you text her. wonder what colour it will be - sooooo exciting not knowing (tho would drive me potty not knowing myself). garden sounds lovely - we have nearly finished ours. must be the nesting thang - must get everything looking perfect hehe.
hoya han - glad all ok at scan hon - did you resist the urger to find out. sure steve is very excited really - men just don't like waiting in hospitals. working from home sounds good - wish i could do that - still only 6 weeeks untill mat leave and 2 of those i'm on hol.
lynne - not long to go now - count down is on. your growth scan didn't sounds very helpful - bit like our last scan for this study we are taking part in - they wouldn't tel us any measurements as they were 'for study purpouses' but did say they would tel us if anything wrong and all was fine. nice to have a little look at baby again tho. luxary pedicure sounds lovely - would love that - what do they do to make skan all smoth again? my feet are horrid cos so hot get swetty at work and smell evil. my work shoes are manky too but can't be othered to replace them for just a few weeks - have promised myself that when mat leave starts i will have pedicure or somehting to sort feet out cos won't be wearing horrid shoes all day.
hiya ruth - how i little emily?? is she stil being a good baby. do you think the sma is helping her to sleep through?? sounds like a good mix to do both. how is weight***chers going - sure you will be back to pre-wedding size in no time.
and cat - how are you hon - how is that naughty puppy doing - running you ragged i bet - sure they are worse than babies - at least babies wear nappies and you don't hav to let them outside evey 5 minutes.
well, has been a busy few weeks for us - don't seem to have had a sit down at all. weekends have been filled with getting garden finished - now patio all done and just a few plants fo pop in around it. water butt fun all finished - omg that was amusing. rainded soooo much we had to get a bigger butt after ours filled up in 1 day and overflowed all over the garage wall - eekkkkkk. then had bbq this weekend with loads of peeps round so was cooking and preparing all week for that - this weekend have family party for my grandads 80th and off to se frieds new house, then off on hol on 16th july - ahhhh 2 weeks of sitting and relaxing hoorah.
ooo have got the nappies too sooo exciting. they are sooo cute - went for tots bots bamboo ones - love them.
work gone bananas - have started to hand jobs over but pretty stressful cos poor peeps don't know what they are doing. getting majorly panicy re leaving that going to leave everyone in the lurch and they won't know what to do - aggggggggggggggggg still othing i can do about it - i've got to leave at some point. and have written an huge great folder with instructions on all my jobs and getting peeps to do them as i would but they haven't got anyone to replace me yt so can't hand all of jobs over - eeekkkkkk
right, it's lunch time so i'm off to scoff my sarine - speak soon

Morning folks, came on to see what you'd all been upto, but nada!!!!!!
Only 2 days to go for me, not got any signs at all yet, although my pelvis is agony today can hardly walk properly.
I took Tom to the theatre yesterday to see the Milkshake Live My 1st Concert Show, he was transfixed, bless him, it was lovely to watch his face. So glad I got the chance to see him as I wasn't going to go at first was going to let him go with my fried and her hubby.
Might not get back on now, or should I say, you guys won't be on before I have this bubs so probably speak to you afterwards.
I'll be texting Catherine anyway so I'm sure she'll update you before I do.
See ya soon frieds.

hey clagger, and too all my cyber chicks sorry not been on for a little while i am doing my best cant face my computer and my hips, pubic bone , groin to mention a few but it all aches down there, i was away at growth scan today and it is like fort knox (spelling) i asked if i was on par with the week i am at and she would not tell me whats that all about, i asked if she could give a weight she said they dont like giving weights??????? as not acurate!!!!
i do have my clinic appointmet tomorrow so it will be kept until that one but for god sake it is my baby and my body all the boxes are circled normal so i am guessing i am measuring for 34 weeks, but talk about blood from stone!
well i also have physio on friday so might have the crutches coming, my left buttock was in agony tonight and taylor was rubbing it bless! she phoned my mum and said that i had a sore bum and my mum panicked as taylor knows my mums telephone number off by heart and called her, my mum was like shere is your mum taylor thinking i was in the loo with a sore bum, at least the baby's head has went down quite a bit now so hoping this is all the pain but i am getting a lot of pressure at my bum (bowel) and when i go to toilet nothing there so it mut be the pressure, what am i like taylor asked if she could do anything i said cut my leg off and she no as i would not be able to walk and when isla comes out my bum will be better lol lol she does not no the half of it????
so clagger one week to go the mega countdown is on, i am going to pack my case tonight, well most of it still to get a few things.
well i will be checking in everyday to see if our clagger has went good luck clagger and hi to all my other chicks xxxxx

Where is everyone, don't think anyone apart from myself and Hannah have been on in about a week. What you all playing at!!!!!! LOL
Only a week left for me now, not convinced now that it woll come early at all, I'm now expecting it to be a late one.
Well, just cleaned my room carpet, it was absolutely minging.!!! Can't believe how dirty it's got in the year that it's been down and we don't allow shoes in either so it just shows you how dirt can creap in without you even knowign it. I'm a filthy cow...w.ell I was, not anymore.
Finished my garden off today as well, planted my pots up and cleaned down the patio area....so all done, and if I do say so myself it looks blo0dy lovely!!!! Even feeded and weeded the lawn.... Do you think I'm talking this "nesting" period to a whole new level!?!?!?!? LMAO.
Right, enough talking to myself the'll be taking me away soon.......what with my "pretend frieds"!!!!!

Eyup Folks. I'm still with bump, only 13 days left though now, can't wait I'm totally ready now. It can come anytime after Saturday cos I'm having my waxing done tomorrow and my hair done on Saturday so after that I'm happy to go with it.....not that the baby's bothered if my eyebrows need waxing though!!!!!! It's Darren's mums birthday tomorrow so it would suprise me if it came tomorrow, we lost his mum 7 years ago so it would be a lovely gift if it did arrive.....I'd even sacrifice my hair and waxing for it!!!!!! LOL.
Glad that the scan went well Hannah, it is a strange feeling know that this will be the last time you see your baby until it's born. Did you resist temptation to find out what it was and are you still on yellow??? Yes I'm the yellow bump. I haven't the foggiest what colour it is as this pregnancy has been so different from the one that I had with Tom but I don't have any of the "girl" symptoms either so it will certainly be a suprise. Don't worry about the size of the bump, mine fluctuated ever time I went to my MW appointment, I'd grow and be 2 weeks in front and then the next time I went I'd be on target so it all depends on the babys growth spurts. I think it only becomes a concern when your measuring significantly different everytime you get measured.
Ruth, I did the same thing with Tom and I bottle and breast fed combined, it was great for us and he hasn't done bad on it, although the HV's don't like the thought of it. I think that you have to do whats right for you and your family and not what is PC at the time.
I can't believe how fast all these pregnancies are going, it seems to be flying, especially since Hannah is the back marker and she's over half way now.
Lynne, was you early with Taylor, is there a chance that this baby could be early? Have you had any twinges yet?
Vikki, glad to hear that you going well, you'll soon be finished at work and chill out. Sounds like your well organised anyway. Are you planning on breast or bottle feeding?
Right, just going to jump in the bath as we are going out for an Indian this evening.....going to start going through the "Help the baby along" menu.
Speak soon frieds.

Hey Frieds!
Hey Han! am so pleased your scan went well. Sounds like all is fine with your little bubs. yay! Dont worry about him not being too excited hun - Chris was the same - he was just sat grumping the whole time as my scan was the 1st week of Jan - a really important time of the year for accountants - apparently - and he was just clock watching so before we went in for the scan we had a right snap at each others - so it sort of spoiled the moment really! Lol!!!! He had to go back to work you see - sort of a bit of a let down after he dropped me off at home - just say alone with the pics. Ah well eh - just really please bubs is doing fine hun!
All is well here. went ot my 1st WWatchers class this morning. Weighed in at 14 stone and half a lb! My goal is wedding day weight of 10stone 2lb - have a long way to go then!!! Haha! Will give you all a weekly update on how i go.
Ooooh - she's just woken and is bawling the house down......will speak laters frieds...

where is every one
well, we been for scan, and everything is fine *** src="http://my.bounty.com/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif" alt="" /> plus all blood results show as low risk so really pleased with that........ little one kept crossing arms infront of face, plus legs were crossed and kept moving but they managed to check everything.. they have only marked me at messuring just over 19 weeks though ( am 20+1) but said nothing to worry about and due date wont change just its smaller at min.... just hope that means my sil's predication of 10lb baby is well out lol... cant beleive thats prob last time i see litle one until ive got baby in arms....... dh was getting annoyed how long they kept us waiting *** src="http://my.bounty.com/smiley/msn/sad_smile.gif" alt="" /> so he didnt show his excitment as much as i would have hoped, but suppose not all men show emitions ? any one else other half like that at times ??
well my boss said to work from home this afternoon so nicely chilling on settee, cant beleive the weather, it was lovely earlier so hung washing out next minute thundering and bouncing down so got soaked bringing it all back in.........
hope every one is well..... due dates are drawing nearer...... cant beleive how time is flying !!!

29/6/08 12:33
Howdy folks,
Ah Ruth - sounds like you are doing really well - sma seems to be doing the trick and allowing you to get some sleep so thats good. 6 weeks already - my time has flown by. She must be getting bigger by the minute. Ah soooooo cute. Sure the weight will fall off you hon - with all the breast feeding and wizzing about keeping her happy it will be gone in no time - weight watchers will help too and you will be a yummy mummy in no time. I'm still pretty pooped - glad it's not just me thuink work has a lot to do with it - and trying to keep house tidy and finish garden. Bonus is that it's keeping my weight down. Look exactly like i used to but with a huge bowling ball strapped to my tummy. Think i weight about 71kg still but will weight myself tom.
Hiya Han - how are you feling. How are the headaches have they settled down yet?? Did you have a good weekend
hope you got a nice anniversary prezzie. It's our on Wednesday and as it's our 3rd (leather) have bought PJ a really lovely leather cufflink and tidy box to put all his bit and bobs in the clutter up the bedside table. Left him plenty of hints about a new Radley bag so hopefully he got them and my wish of a summer collection bag will come true - i have a few already but they are always winter colletion as my bday in Oct/or get them for xmas. Hiya to Lynne Clag and Cat - where have you naughtly lot gone to? How are you feeling Lynne - not long now hon and then it will all be over. Try and get as much rest as you can.
Clagger - wow must be soooo nearly d-day now. Hope you are feeling well. can't wait to hear of some news from you. Want to see if it's going to be an alli for BW or another little girl.
And Cat - how is that naughty puppy doing??? Is he running you ragged yet - just wait for it. Have you sorted him out some trainng classes??? def get some sorted - he may look angellic now but give him a few months and he will be testing you to the limit. PJ is at training with Bentley now - he loves it but he's being a sod at the mo eating his toys and bed - got him a new bed yesterday and went out for 3 hrs in the evening - when got back - NO bed anymore - so no bed for him!!!! Think it may be our doing cos we let him chew his toys so now anything made of fabric he destroys. How are the girls - will have to check out photos on facebook. Hope you are all keeping well.
Well we had our 1st NCT class on Thurs - was hilarious. Everyone was scared and nervous but all relxaed in the end. We are def the youngest there but that doesn't matter. Had to do some relaxed breathing and some 'taylor sitting' to stretch pubic symphasis and pelvic floor exercise. Then talked about perineal massage -NO WAY AM I DOING THAT OMG i would just die. am such a prude i know but i don't care sounds like the most hideous thing in the world - and using olive oil - what, am i marinating myself??? Must be a better way.
Got moses basket yesterday so now have most of stuff except baby gym, monitor and sling thang for PJ to take BW out with the dog - he really want to be able to take him for a dog walk and leave me to have some rest bless him. OOO and need to buy the nappies - think we are still set on tots bots re-usable. wish me luck. What else might we need?? Any ideas welcome cos sure we have forgotten some vital piece of equipment.
right, i'm off to put the washing out and hoover.

Ruth doesnt sound like you done bad though, 3 stone gone since day before birth.... just before i got caught i was just under 11 stone ( my aim was to be ten - so that will be my goal after) at min ive only added 4lb but heard most comes in second half
so we see.... but think after christmas it will serious dieting lol (no point before hehe) but i wish you all the luck hun x xsounds like you have the feeds sussed
Take care x x
Hiya Frieds, thought it was about time we all moved over from TTC as we've now all got our BFP's and it's not right been in TTC anymore.
Hope you all find me over here, cos I'm on my own at the mo and I can just imagine you all still over in TTC without me. Boo,hoo.
Well, 24wks today for me, can't believe that I finish work in 5 weeks, can't wait!!!! The week I finish we are going away to my Dad's caravan on the East Coast for the week so it'll be nice to chill out and a chance to get my feet up for a few days whilst Darren runs around after Tom.
Ruth, I think you should tell Chris' mum that you don't think it's a good idea to come up that week and that you're heads will be all over the place and it's a special time for Chris and yourself. You don't know how you'll feel when you go into labour and would feel embarassed if they were there. Could you suggest to them that they come up and "help out" with the baby once you've had her. This way you get to have a bit of a helping hand and they get to see their new grandaughter as well. Ask them if they want to come up for about 4 days.
Be honest with them, they won't mind the honesty. I'm sure they would feel better knowing that you were happy.
Hope you all find me soon.
