2014 January Rainbows

[george83]

She's beautiful markswife and certainly looks like she's making good progress, I hope she keeps doing well. It must be very weird for you reading all these stories knowing you already have your baby

 

[JohnsonGirl]

Wow markswife she looks amazing! So tiny and cute!!
Loving the bumps ladies. I'll do one at the end of the week.

 

[Megan252]

Hayley looks great Markswife! So glad to hear our first little rainbow is doing so well. Thanks for updating us and posting the pics.

Hi to everyone!! Loving all the bumps pics, you guys looks fantastic.

I am feeling giant and tired, lol. I started to have really crazy dreams at night that are keeping me from sleeping well. Last night I kept dreaming that my son was wandering around alone. I'd shoot up in bed and then it would take a few minutes to get back to reality and realize that he was sleeping.....this happened about 10 times, ugh. How's everyone else's sleep??

I'm sleeping about 5 hours a night which is making turn into a real bitch, I do take a 3 hour nap before work but not helping at all my poor hubby is getting it bad I swear if by the end we don't end in divorce court it'll be a miracle I'm really bad right now

 

[Young414]

ugh! Sleeping is a nightmare but honestly, I constantly toss and turn and the tossing and turning causes round ligament pain everytime, which wakes me up even more. I've slept through the whole night once in about 3 weeks.. driving me wacko!

 

[Lyndzo]

I've been having trouble falling asleep at night lately. Yesterday I napped 3 magical hours in the afternoon, it was amazing. But then couldn't sleep until 2am. Baby sure likes to wiggle around late night and then be quiet most of the morning. I guess she's being active while I sleep lately. Once I'm asleep I'm so asleep I don't feel it. Hopefully that's common!

 

[Young414]

Lyndzo- same for me. Question though, when she wiggles at night, do you feel like you are crushing her? Sounds strange, I know. But, for example, when I lie down on my side, I turn enough so that tummy is touching the bed/pillows/blanket. but I lean a little more to that side. All of a sudden, between me and the bed is wiggling..almost like i'm crushing her...sounds insane...maybe i'm just paranoid, but i'm fearful that I am putting too much pressure on the tummy and she is being crushed...anybody else? lol

 

[xxemmyxx]

I'm having trouble sleeping too, I fall asleep straight away but wake up often in the night to wee, my OH's snoring keeps me from falling back to sleep but if I do I always wake up at 4am and can't get back to sleep then until my alarm goes off at 6.30 am, it's killing me!! I'm no good at napping either now I'm pregnant!

Young I totally have that same feeling, I constantly feel like if I lie too far on my side and he kicks that I am squashing him, but not lying far enough over on my side hurts my hips. I also wake up in the night with pain somewhere, either my hips or my bump if I have been lying in a position that obviously isn't good cus my body wakes me up, then I worry and can't sleep. I have also been getting cramp in my leg a few times and I scream it hurts so much and OH has to rub my leg to get it to stop and then I have really woken us both up!

And to top it all off two nights in a row an alarm has been going off outside the flat from 4am to 7am non stop!!! It's not a car alarm I have no idea what it is!?

On a positive note I had my 28week growth scan and everything is perfect. I had a lovely sonographer who didn't once mention my bmi or make a fuss about doing the scan. It was quick and easy and he is measuring 50th percentile for every measurement so he is growing perfectly. He weighs 2lbs11ozs

 

[Young414]

Oh emmy! That's so Exciting! Glad your little bean is growing perfectly!!!

Glad to hear that I am not alone in the baby squashing lol

That car alarm (or whatever it is) is awful! I can't imagine! I mean, geesh, we already have a hard enough time sleeping! Let's add loud noises to the mix..

My DH doesn't snore (thankfully), but he is definitely a flopper! he flips and flops and flips and flops all night..he's a fish I tell ya!

oh and LEG CRAMPS!! They are just sent from the devil! So painful! I thought I was just being a baby when I cried out in pain...sorry to hear, but glad to hear also that it's as painful for everyone else as it is for me!!

AND! 30 weeks! YAY for me! 28 weeks YAY EMMY!

 

[Young414]

AND! A very happy 2 weeks to Miss Hayley Judith!! You keep growing and improving Little One! We are all rooting for you!

 

[xxemmyxx]

Thanks young, happy 30 weeks! Wowzers your in the 30's now, it's getting so close!

Ohhhhh the leg cramps! They hurt soooooo bad. I cry and scream and there is no relief until it has been rubbed! So your not over reacting!

The alarm is so annoying, I'm going out investigating in my dressing gown and slippers if it continues tonight! I can't report it to anyone until I know where it is coming from!

Lol sorry about your floppy OH my OH last night woke up in his sleep and slapped me on my leg!! I shot up thinking something was wrong but he was half asleep and must have been dreaming! He had no idea what I was talking about when I told him this morning

Happy 2 weeks baby Hayley!

 

[Lucy529]

Young happy 30 weeks !!!!

Emmy happy 28 weeks to you !!!

Little Hayley happy 2 weeks keep growing baby girl

I'm glad I'm not the only one with sleep problems LOL sorry ladies young LOL on your hubby the fish, it's funny but not, mine snores and we have our pup in bed and he snores too so between lapping my hubby to get him to stop and pushing my pup towards him I don't even know when I finally fall asleep usually after 1am and up by 5:30
Emmy my hubby has hit me in his sleep too one time he bruised my jaw, he had no clue but did remember dreaming he was in a fight with some guys he then hit my eye which didn't turn into a black eye but hurt like heck LOL
I feel the same way about squishing baby he wiggles around to but usually when I lay on my left side I doubt we're squishing them

 

[Young414]

Omgosh!! Ladies, TMI ALERT!

I get out of the shower, dry off, look down, and nipple discharge. Oh my! First it was yellow, then clear. Which I googled and they said it was normal. So hopefully it is! I have to say, it was a major shocker!!! Anyways, Im slightly excited about it since I was afraid that one of my breasts wouldn't "work". That's why my mother couldn't breast feed. So hopefully this is a good sign. Not a guarantee they'll both work, but fx'd.

 

[Lucy529]

Young I hope your breasts work mine haven't grown much and I really doubt I would be able to bf even if I could.

 

[xxemmyxx]

Young is that the first time yours have done that? Mine ave been doing t since 16 weeks!! It still scares me now.

 

[Young414]

Lucy- Thanks!

Emmy- Yeah. It's the first time. It was kinda like a "HAPPY 30 WEEKS!" surprise. lol It was so shocking. I mean, I knew it'd eventually happen, but gosh, when it actually does..it's interesting. lol
I remember when you said yours started and i had kinda been on the lookout ever since. Which is part of the reason I posted about it...You are not alone! lol

 

[Lucy529]

Morning ladies :wave: I'm off to the specialist to see how my lo is doing he had a quiet day yesterday but is already awake now and was at 3am these babies are preparing us for the real thing LOL

Will update when I get back ooh and we get to pick up the crib today if we get back early

 

[Young414]

Morning Lucy!! Good luck today!! Let us know how everything goes!

 

[Megan252]

Good luck today Lucy! Sorry to hear everyone is also having sleep troubles. You'd think we'd get a break considering sleep will be a thing of the past once baby gets here!

Young - I haven't had that yet! I think at this far along when I was pregnant with my son I had already....maybe it's coming soon? I remember it was a bit unnerving and exciting at the same time.

I'm starting to get really tired again, like first trimester tired. It's hard to stay up past about 9 these days. No exciting news from me though, baby is still a little kicking machine, although it's more dragging his feet/hands around. I love it

 

[JohnsonGirl]

Hmmm, got the new look B&B and I'm not that into the new colour scheme!!
Young- boob discharge seems normal for everyone but I've not had any either yet- kinda want some now!!!
Lucy- hope your appointment went ok today.
Hi Megan, Emmy and Lyndzo, hope you're all ok. I'm not getting much sleep either. I'm either uncomfortable or needing to pee! Luckily my hubby doesn't bash me in the night though lol.
30 weeks today. Starting to struggle at work. I'm so tired! Can't wait for the weekend!!!
