Hey Mitf - how lovely to hear from you. Glad to hear you are feeling well - and on maternity leave
I'm basking in the glow of a sunday morning when you know you cleared up before going to bed.... happy days. We had 11 people for dinner last night, this eating for two is getting really out of control ho ho ho ho.... no, seriously, our last entertaining before Little Miss comes along, so I feel like we've banked lots of favours in coming weeks/ months. And we cooked too much so our freezer will be well stocked up too!
Juniper - not sure if it's too late, but if you search on the Delia Smith (co.uk) website, she does a wonderful oven cooked risotto that is the simplest thing in the world to cook and no slaving at all.
Leabie - hope the MS is getting better
Paula - god, that's the same reaction mine had about shaving. Anyone would think I was sporting some sort of neanderthal bush normally ..honestly!
Lise - feeling for you. I have really got backache now, which I'm trying to seeing as one of the 7 signs of early labour rather than just another bloody pregnancy symptom bingo that I can check off. I'm only really comfortable in the bath... usually fantasising about a glass or four of shiraz.... Big belly rubs to everyone else, sorry can't flick back to the old thread very easily.
AFM nothing really to report. Kicking is very very strong but less regular. My lavender wheat bag is a lifesaver for my back. I'm now doubled to twice weekly yoga and weekly massage, and its helping me keep some sanity and frankly its not like I've got anything better to spend my money on. DH has decided to go on a health kick, its quite funny given that an archeologist would probably identify me as a pygmy hippo than any form of human at the moment. I'm looking forward to eating leftovers for the next hundred years... hope you are all well and hope you have lovely sundays x
Still here - had a lovely morning at a friends house then went home quickly before acupuncture and found an email saying a woman in my mums to be group had her baby two weeks early (the second person in the group to go early, the first was 4 weeks early!!). Well nasty old me had a very bad reaction and was so cross and upset I just wanted to kick something and have a cry. This woman also went through IVF so you'd think i'd be a bit more compassionate, nope, not green eyed monster Lise. Luckily I had acupuncture so went and whinged to my acupuncturist who was very lovely and did a few things to help calm and relax me. I know it's not even my due date yet but i'm so over it emotionally, i'm really irritable, restless, cranky, lethargic and just plain awful really, I don't know how DH is putting up with me, poor thing. I want to do stuff but say no to everything he suggests. I got cross at him on Saturday for going to hockey and a boys night out, even though he didn't drink at all. I hate being at home by myself but can't be bothered socialising. Oh so contrary.
So apologies but i'm not going to do any persies - you'd probably rather I didn't share my crankiness with you all so until I have something nice to say I just won't say anything other than to say hope you're all doing better than me
mitf great to hear from you. Hope you dont go over as 40 weeks is long enough to wait. Enjoy your retail therapy over the next two weeks. lise im sure we can all understand where you are coming from. As happy as you are for the other mother, its totally normal to feel the ITS NOT FAIR!! I can see myself in your shoes. I already hate socialising let alone when ill be a week or two from giving birth. Let it all out, be as cranky as you like. You're allowed to!! Fingers crossed things happen this week!! Sending you millions of labout vibes. LondonMiss everyone has told me how wonderful of an idea it is to have meals in the freezer for those first few weeks but i cant see myself at home in the kitchen cooking hundreds of meals in one go. Hard enough to cook one decent thing these days. Lucky you!
Had my obs appointment this morning and my GTT results came back all good. Perfect sugar levels, blood count good, blood pressure good and the lil heartbeat was racing away nicely. To say i am happy happy happy is an understatement! Due to my PCOS i was sure i would have Gestational Diabetes but nope! Doc basically told me to keep doing what im doing as its all looking great.
HI Ladies,
Looks like I will be able to join you - I just got my 2nd beta at 18 dpo which was 1800 (!!!). I am a tad scared it's twins (we only had one embryo put back this FET) but of course I won't know until we have the ultrasound. It will take me a while to get my head around all of this, but I look forward to sharing this experience with you

hello all. This not having a laptop is driving me totally bonkers!
I had a funny little scare the other night: contractions, diarohea (godness that is a stupid word to try and spell - YKWIM anyway) and back pain. Turns out it just a reaction to watching Rupert Penry Jones in Spooks and then R Pattinson in the first twilight film... and nothing since.....
Right off for my 36 week check up/ prod/ poke now. More later! x
ho ho ho ho.... no, seriously, our last entertaining before Little Miss comes along, so I feel like we've banked lots of favours in coming weeks/ months. And we cooked too much so our freezer will be well stocked up too!
