I've been having more BH too, feels like they are getting a little stronger too. All good exercise for the uterus! :)
 
TexMel, if its any reassurance!! :haha: I just moved my younger kid OUT of the nursery, but all his stuff is still in that bedroom. His bed, blankets, pillows, and clothes are in the other room now, but there's piles and piles of stuff left to go through. Then I have to wash walls, paint, sort through baby stuff, BUY baby stuff, and have a baby. And I'm 33 weeks. :haha: I don't figure I'll go before 38 weeks, and so long as I have the bassinet and car seat, none of the rest REALLY matters as I can do it after she's born... but yikes. So much to do, so little time! My husband is dragging his feet too ... I'm pretty sure I can handle all of it by myself, but it'll take so much longer if I have to. WHATEVER! At least I'm not just sitting on my butt all day, I guess... baby prep keeps me somewhat active. :winkwink:

I at least got the baby clothes that my sister gave me sorted into drawers in the nursery today, all except for the smallest ones, which I want to wash first. I will wash everything 3mos and bigger when we're much closer to needing it, so that it stays "fresh" lol. I HATE washing laundry right now (front loaders machines, its so hard for me to get stuff out of them!) ... but maybe if there are tiny little outfits to motivate me, I'll be happier to do it. :haha:
 
Had midwife today. bump measured 31cm i'm 30 weeks. I asked her about cord previa and explained the consultant mentioned it but didn't write anything about it in my notes, midwife said it was nothing to worry about as the cord moves. So it's not what I thought it was. She asked me if I have had any ichiness and I told her I had on my belly straight she said that would be the area we would be concerned about so she's done a blood test to check my liver function and said if it comes back with anything then we'll talk about it more. Apart from that it went pretty well.
 
That sounds like a good appointment overall, Steph! Measuring on track, and it sounds like the chord previa is not a problem :thumbup: Hopefully your blood test comes back good!
 
first good one in a while, hoping that the fact bump is on track means baby is growing well, find out on the 28th.
thank you hopefully it won't be too long before I hear back
 
Steph sounds like a good appointment :thumbup: hope all is well at your scan on the 28th
 
Morning everyone its my birthday today so i thought id say hiiii while its not all doom and gloom with me lmao xx
 
Happy Birthday :cake: hope you have a nice day and your little lady is nice to mummy :hugs:
 
Aley I've been having BH contractions since before 20 weeks. I got them early with my first too. They are just a lot stronger now.:wacko:

Texmel I also am working up until I actually go into labor. I sit at a desk all day though so its not very straining. I did the same thing with DS I worked the day before he was born. He came at 38 weeks 3 days.

Steph that is great news! So glad baby is measuring right on track:happydance:

I also don't have everything ready for baby and we are not having a shower. A girlfriend of mine offered to help organize one but I just feel like its asking to much from our friends and family. Since DS will be two on Friday so we just had one for him 2 years ago and DS's birthday party is Saturday so our friends and family will be coming with gifts for him. We have a lot of stuff we need already because they are the same gender and very close in age. Of course we will still need diapers and such though...

I'm going to start getting serious about getting the baby clothes washed, carseat, bassinet, and stuff ready in October. This month I've just been putting a lot of my energy into organizing my son's 2nd birthday party.

oh and Aley I have a front loader, stacked washer and dryer and its a pain !! I totally understand :haha:

I will update after my appointment on if baby is measuring on track. Thanks for the well wishes :hugs:
 
Happy birthday Cat!!! :cake:

Mimzy, we aren't having a shower either. My SIL offered to throw me one, but I just don't know many people who would come to one anymore, as I quit working 6.5 years ago and all of my friends have moved out of town. Anyway, after Parker was born people still brought over baby gifts for him, so you may get similar. He got things for Christmas, even though he was all of 3 weeks old. :rofl: But it worked out well that way!

The washer/dryer... I usually have to make my kids unload them, because it about kills me to get into them. :blush: We bought them in February just before I got pregnant, and I did NOT foresee my belly to be a problem. Fortunately its a short term problem, and since this is the LAST BABY, I only have to suffer for a couple more months before I can get back to absolutely loving my laundry machines :rofl:

I threw some baby clothes in last night. Forgot to check them over for stains... the downside of second hand clothes I guess!! So I'll fold those ones up today and set any with stains aside so that I know to attempt to treat them and wash them again :haha:
 
Happy birthday cat and so glad appt went well Steph.

I'm lucky my two year old loves helping mummy with laundry so my bending is minimised.
 
:blush: How can I deal with constipation? Ciruelax doesn't work anymore. :nope:
 
I'm freaking out right now. My husband just found out that his department is getting outsourced. He is getting laid off in the next couple of months.

Worst. Timing. Ever. :sad2:
 
Tex, that's horrible :hugs: That is terrible timing!! I hope he can find a new job easily!
 
Texmel I know easier said than done but TRY and not stress. Things will work out some way or another they always find a way too :hugs:

AFM: had my midwife appointment today and everything went great. I'm now measuring 34.. so one week ahead even! I'm so thrilled baby must of had a growth spurt :happydance: Oh and I gained 2lbs in 2 weeks which I'm okay with because I'm trying to stick to the 1lb/week guidelines. :thumbup:
