Open to all elderberry grads and anyone who fits the berry criteria: over 30, pregnant with #1 after trying for a loooong time, and nervous as hell. Come on in for handholding and nub theory!

Let's start a bunny style list then? I'm interested to see all your due dates and pink or blue...

Can I add myself to the grads fb group? Or is that tempting fate before Wednesday? I'm on the other fb group so what so I need to do?

I have not got out of bed all day except for one bowl of porridge this morning and multiple wees V fed up with the breathing, general aches and pains plus a headache and two nosebleeds. Feel awful and exhausted but can't sleep. Am about to drag myself to the supermarket (debating if I can get away with going in my PJs under my coat Grin) and attempt to make some food.
How many more days of this?? Thank goodness DH is home in the morning

Oh dear merk you really are suffering. Wish I could suggest something to make it go away. Did you get your blood results back yet?

Report
CatsCantFlyFast · 06/12/2013 18:22

No, getting the results on Wed. I had a weird half dream this afternoon while dozing that I was feeling ill because I was in labour... Was a bit Shock when I woke up until I realised it was a dream!

BlindKitty · 06/12/2013 18:55

Oh not surprised! Damn dreams! I thought I'd felt the baby the other night but now I think it was just a dream!

It won't be long now. Is your 12 wk scan pic on fb? I need to have a gender guess pre your scan

Got our Xmas sexing scan 22nd (wishing I'd brought it forward now grr). You'll have to just guess, I'm afraid! I guess boy!

Morning all

Quite enjoying the novelty of a hangover-free morning after a wedding party! Found a dress in the back of the wardrobe in the end that just about stretched so even managed to look halfway decent.

How is everyone? Merk you poor thing, are you feeling any better? Is Mr Merk back with you yet? I've had a couple of weird dreams where I had the babies, in one of them I had them and then forgot I'd had them, and then felt guilty for not feeding them for too long!

We're going to get the Christmas tree today, I'm a scrooge and maintain that it's too early but Mr Boom seems to be in a festive mood this year! Anyone want to take bets on how long it'll be before Boomdog II eats/wees on it?

I also liked the hangover free after parties as well as the ability to see what really goes on when the whole world is pissed!!

Aww you guuuuys Grin

To make up for being all sophisticated last night, I've just completely stacked it while walking the dogs. Mis-stepped on a wonky bit of pavement under slippy leaves and lost my balance, Boomdogs were pulling and I ended up skinning both knees and an elbow, ripping my jeans and finally landing on my bottom in a puddle! Made worse by the woman who saw it all and basically laughed as she went past (I think it was meant to be a sympathetic smile but it didn't make me feel better!) shook me up enough to cause a few tears, although didn't land hard enough to do any real damage and luckily Rh positive so don't have to go and get anti d. Will have to be extra careful from now on..

Hope all of you at the Big Berry Bonanza are having a great time, off to get ready for work!
