Uk SMOG Wannabes ~ February

[Sunset]

Hi all,

Had my scan this morning and saw my lovely little bean with its flickering heart happily nestled into the right place

Liking this alot! i didnt know you were going for a scan, so happy it went well and you got to see the heartbeat very reassuring!

It was so reassuring. I was so convinced there wouldnt be anything there, it kept me awake last night. Now i can relax for the next 6 weeks as these last 6 weeks have been a bit stressful with cramps, backache, blood tests etc. Now to just enjoy being pg!

The pic of your ds1 wired up in hosp always breaks my heart... so sad to see someone so young go through so much. What a little star!

Congratulations on your scan deaks!

Sunset I get induced on the 5th - no braxton hicks at all now!

Basically my son was given the all clear in hospital at his birth. At 6 weeks dh dropped him (bad daddy!) so we took him to a&e where we told he had concussion. Then the peads said 'did you know your son has a heart murmur?' that's when we found out. We stayed in for obs and had a xray and ECG can't remember what else - was a horrid time as they was another baby on the childrens ward they were fighting to stabiles to get into air ambulance to London. Seems like weeks after that he had the valve scan and was signed off. Ds2 had a murmur at birth too but it went quiker - again due to his size at birth. Think dave will be a average size so hopefully no murmur. Also he is still growing. Not sure at what point in my pregnancy ds1 stopped growing - maybe 34 weeks or even before that?

EEk, the 5th Maybe, so soon. Can't wait to meet your little man!

Deaks- thanks for asking, I am in complete denial if I am being honest! Because there is a very very slim chance this is still a girl I'm not believing boy until it is confirmed at 20 weeks. I should probably just start coming to terms with it now as I'm sure it is the same as with babymad and charlie who thought they saw boy bits and they were right....(boo )

[Lavenderlime]

Thinking of you Charlie.

Just popping in as super tired DP and I went to see the Lion King and it was soo good. Loved it. Had a great day but lots of time spent in the car, trains and tubes. Was lovely having a grown up day too.

Will catch up a bit tomo.

Night x

Charlie - hugs... Congratulations on your boy... hope you are doing ok...

Deaks - yay for seeing bubba on your scan. Its the most reassuring thing

babymad - the mother-daughter relationship is the thing I'm most sad about missing out on.

I agree swaying is rubbish!! Look at us... we were boy-heavy before we started and we are still boy heavy. When we had DS1 I said to DH we'll probably end up with 3 boys. Ha look at us now! Must be pyschic! I wonder how many children we would have to have before getting a girl... maybe 10 or 20 (they do say it is like flipping a coin)?

I am soooooooo tired today - couldn't sleep. It was 38 degrees yesterday and last night it didn't go below 26. blerrrrrr.... it was still 33 at 9.30pm. I don't like the hot weather!!!!! The boys slept terribly too which means highly irrational grumpy children :P Roll on autumn!

DH and I have been talking more about moving back to the UK. I grew up in Surrey but I've lived in Manchester, Wales and Kent. We're trying to pick somewhere new to move to. Surrey is way too pricey!!!! Want to stay south to be near family. Its very hard picking an area!!!!! We'll probably move at the start of 2013. Am quite excited to be going back to England again.

Right - I'm on pancake duty. After swimming lessons we often have pancakes as a treat...

[Kell]

Deaks aww so glad you saw lil bean!

Lavender the lion king is brilliant! I went with my sister and mum a couple of years back, when ds2 is old enough I'll take him as he is obsessed with it!
I like going to the theatre but oh won't go coz he's miserable! Lol a friend of mine was in the Andrew Lloyd webber find a Dorothy tv programme, she got to the final 4/5 and ended up with a main role in we will rock you! She's now in work shops for the spice girls show lmao! I haven't seen her in a while but I imagine she's probably baby spice.

I'm feeling very tired at the moment, keep needing to nap in the afternoons! Not good as I have tooio much college work to do!

Hope all you girls are doing ok, Im not sure of I ever actually expected swaying to really work, had I started I may have really believed in it, but I'm kinda on the fence with it all! I'm so sorry that it's the end of a dream for a few, I wish it were as simple as taking a pill to stop the aching. I feel bad and wish I could swap places with all of you for you to be happy.

I've finally spoke to my hairdresser about doing my hair! It's like I grow a new grey hair everyday now I am worried about my eyes but not as much as being grey lol, also found out I've put on about 10lbs which I'm not happy about! It's oh's 30th in December so I want the baby weight gone by then!

Hi all, Was my mum's b'day yest and my SIL visited. Tried to get on-line and couldn't

Wanted to wish Z a great scan! Your pic's are FAB!!! Did you get ur confirmation of GIRL??? See on Fb ur keeping them all guessing, good for u, kinna wish I had.

Sad to hear about the poorly babies, we don't always know till they are here and I admire all u mummies who have had poorly babies and those kiddies who still need hosp care. My ds1 had gromets in and adeniods out and I thought that was hard! You guys have had tougher moments than that. HUGS xx

Babymad, that sound awful!!!! Can't imagine. Are u normally ok when not pg? or have mild asthma genrally?

My babies are moving less, well still moving but I don't feel it as much. Was a bit worried yest, but keep reminding myself that they are bigger now, prob sleep more and it's hard to keep track of who moved, now they are bigger it's not as easy to say ahh that was twin 1/2 as they are now transverse and cephalic. Ds2 calls them 'cheeky' and 'chunky' as twin 1 (cheeky) used to kick ALL the time, twin 2 (chunky) is the bigger twin, by very little tho. Chunky will have a complex b4 it's even out!!

Have a good sunday xx

[Babymad]

Oh hun you must feel awful and annoyed !! I have 3 out of four with asthma although techniquely dd has not yet been diagnosed as she is too young but has had oral steroids twice, been admitted once and frequently has to use a blue inhaler, I find it very frustrating as people assume I smoke around them and its my fault, i have never smoked

DH is much better now but he was unwell for 5 weeks and I begged him to go back to the doctors, glad he listened and went back !!

Bless ya having 3 with it! Its no fun at all. Pleased your DH is on the mend, men do seem to take ages to go to the docs about anything!!

[Babymad]

Hi Girls.....

Deaks ~ So pleased your scan went well what have people guessed? Sorry Im no use with the ramzi theory!

Sunset ~ Your little man looks like he's taken it all in his stride on your pic and teddy seems to be keeping him calm My DS2 was born with a heart murmur. Really pleased your DS is doing well now

Kell ~ I can't wait to lose the baby weight already too!

Pinga ~ Great that you might be coming back to England, I have always wanted to move to Oz but never been able to convince my DH to get the ball rolling!

Inglewood ~ LOL at Chunky and Cheeky...so sweet

Charlie ~ Been worried about you x Hope you are ok xx

Indigo ~ Hugs hun, its over yet though hun x

The weather has been lovely here this week-end and I am so fed up that we haven't been able to enjoy it.
I've had an awful few days, I've got a flu bug so feel dreadful Thats why I must be coughing so much, got a fever too and my head feels like its going to explode...along with not being able to breath I felt like topping myself yest!!
I am so tired as I haven't slept at all for the last three nights as I spend all night coughing and unable to breath.
DH is in a lot of pain from his nose op and DS3 is at the walk in centre as he's complaining that his ear hurts......!!
Hoping we will all be healthier soon! Sorry for moaning...really feeling sorry for myself today
I don't normally suffer with Asthma Inglewood, it came on in my last pg and was rushed to hosp as I was having an attack and didn't realise! Very strange how it just comes on, hoping it eases soon.

Ok off for a lay down.....

Hi to anyone i missed xxx
