Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[arlene]

Karen that's good news about your bp. I was gonna say Laura, send Shaun out to make snowmen lol. The snow has just started in East Edinburgh again. I'm a bit worried, I have the docs at three and am supposed be coming back to work but I have to go up a massive hill to get there, then do the same after work to get home And there's no way I could walk back down to work, my pelvis was really sore trying to walk in from the car park this morning and my appointment is to get a skin tag removed from my leg so not sure how sore it'll be. Xx

 

[Cherrybump]

Ouch i think your better phoning in a saying you cant get back in. Or if you there now maybe just say to them you dont think you can make it back as your pretty sore and the snow is just to much to walk in. I hate this weather *just realize i spelt that wrong before lol* Glad my doctors is right next to me so when i go out tomorrow i dont have to go to far. x

It hasn't stopped snowing here. It's been on constantly since about 10pm last night. Shaun has his first swimming club tonight and I doubt we will be able to go as it's 10 miles away in Lanark. We were supposed to be going out with Stephen's Mum for dinner then to Tesco for shopping so don't have anything in!! Eek!!

I'm so tired and sore today. We were meant to be wallpapering but because Shaun has been off we haven't been able to. That and the fact I'm stuck on the couch! My pelvis has never been so sore.

Shaun has broken his wee toe so he's wanting to go out and build a snowman but it's too sore to wear his snowboots. He bent it right back in soft play on Saturday and it's black and blue now! I said when it's nearer dinner time he can go out in his trainers and just have a nice warm bath afterwards.

I was thinking a cafe might be good. It's a pity we all live so far apart as we could have taken turns hosting at our houses. I don't suppose anyone fancies the drive to mine? Lol.

 

[arlene]

I brought the car to work this morning so it's driving it up the hill that's worrying me. If it's bad I don't want to have to come down to work again after the docs app and then drive back up the hill to get home again when the traffic is building up. xx

 

[Kaybee]

Eyesight back to normal now

My mum said that there are loads of those little ride on machines at DSW and Kaiden just wanted to go on them all!

Its weird you guys having so much snow. If there is snow falling its usually here

Emma thats good your MW appt went well.

A soft play would probably be the best bet. I cant see you guys all wanting to travel up to mine either.

Poor Shaun and his toe. That sounds painful! Do you think you are sore today after us being stuck in that booth yesterday?

 

[bbymc]

Sounds like you need a chill out day Laura. I wonder why your pelvis is so bad today! Sounds like the snow's been a blessing to you. Its forcing you to take it easy lol. Poor wee shaun! I almost broke my toe at softplay once. Is it strapped to his other toes? Suppose its good he wants to go out in the snow. Means his toe must not be too sore. The doc said how long it'll take to heal?

I was thinking we could just take it in turns to host at our.houses. Problem for me is that i don't drive so Ryan would have to come with me. Not sure i fancy gettin a bus or train with a newborn lol. Xx

 

[lj2245]

I think it was the driving more than anything! Then when I got home I slept 3 hours on the couch and that's never a good thing for my pelvis.

I think there's an hour and a half between us! I'd need to book a hotel and stay over

Glad your eyesight is back to normal. DO you think it was the contacts? I find I'm getting irritated skin and hives at things that didn't bother me a couple of weeks ago!

Arlene, we are snowed in because there's a big hill right outside my house and we can't get up it! If you don't get a running start you've no chance

Can't believe your midwife came to you Emma, that was so nice of her Mine wouldn't bother lol!

 

[bbymc]

there did used to be a softplay place in south queensferry. Duno if its still there though.

Glad your eyes are ok now Karen.

 

[bbymc]

i know. I couldn't believe my luck!
Talking of eyes, i have noticed that my eyes seem to sting and water a fair bit now. I just i had a cold or something but its maybe pregnancy related. Who knows.

Haven't taken him to the doc, he did it on Sat and we can't get out now lol. He's out in the snow now though so it can't be that bad!

I didn't drive when I had Shaun and getting on buses was a nightmare! I lived in Glasgow City Centre and if one bus already had a pram or wheelchair you'd have to wait on the next one. Sometimes you would be there for hours!

 

[bbymc]

its the same here. Its stupid cos i can actually drive. Its my car too lol. But i have severe driving anxiety. Always have since my cousin Christopher died in a car accident with his 3 best mates when i was 16. He was 17. Thats why we've chosen Christopher as a potential middle name for baby. So i can't drive anywhere. I freak out and can't function. Its horrendous and pretty dangerous! I hate it though. I'd love to drive and have freedom! Xx

 

[arlene]

Well maybe we could meet somewhere like Livingston Centre? There's a costa and starbucks we could take over lol, or a massive food court. That way anyone needing the OH to drive could come and the boys could have a wander round the shops? Xx

 

[lj2245]

Can you not get some kind of hypnotherapy or something to help you? If you can drive again you'll definitely feel the benefits when you have the baby. Sorry to hear about your cousin

 

[bbymc]

Livingston centre could be a good option.

Yeah, I'm gona see about hypnotherapy. I need to do something. It has gotten worse over time so if I don't do something, I might end up not even able to be a passenger. I've tried to combat it a few times by going out and sitting in the car, then working up to driving round the block, then to somewhere near, like my parents. But in the end something happens and I panic. Or if I don't, I get to wherever I'm going and spend the whole time I'm there freaking out knowing that I need to drive home again.

 

[lj2245]

Livingston might be a bit of a trek for Karen. It's only a 30 min drive for me so that would make it further for her.

 

[arlene]

We can try and find somewhere a bit more central for everyone then.

I've just been totally blubbing at the Freinds For Life Award from last nights Crufts!! Such a sucker for doggies!! Xx

 

[bbymc]

i think somewhere with a food court might be best cos then there will be lost of space. Maybe there's somewhere in dunfermline? Or fife in general. Thats closer to Karen is it not? And not too far for everyone else.

 

[lj2245]

Dunfermline is 1hr 10 mins from me lol! It's a bit of a nightmare because Karen and I are at complete opposite ends of the country I think she's 1hr 45 from me!

I had a look on the Frankie and Benny's website and they say they have been nominated for this year's Baby Friendly awards. Maybe they have a big massive table we could all sit round lol!! Babies will be too small for highchairs right enough. I thought soft play because I thought it would be ideal to get them out of their car seats and onto a space to stretch out!

 

[CherylC3]

Hey ladies I cud do Livingston think its about 45 mins from me... When are u ladies thinking of?xxx

 

[bbymc]

Yeah, it's tricky. I reckon somewhere we can get the babies out is def better. Gym tots in south queensferry might be an option but I think it might be shut down. Maybe there's a mother and baby group we could invade lol.

There's plenty of places in Edinburgh but again that might be too far for Karen.
