Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[Kaybee]

Eek 19 weeks today and am starting to feel more flutters am still sick although it is just back to first thing in the morning so much better. Got the flu jab yesterday so my arm is a bit tender today. Dh says his was sore for a couple of days after getting it so was expecting it

How are you all getting on? Mil is taking us out for dinner tonight so no cooking or dishes

We are having chinese, paid for by my Dad so awesome here too I haven't heard anything about my flu jab yet. I had swine flu 2 years ago, so I still need to get it?

I got myself a tub of Ben & Jerrys Phish Food so I can go up to bed and watch rubbish films Football Manager 2013 is out today so Stephen will be engrossed in that, so I will get peace and quiet. Cannot wait!

My wee yin hasn't been as active the past week, I only feel him/her a couple of times a day now. I don't know if it's because my uterus has grown and it has more room but the heartbeat is just fine so I'm not going to worry about it. I'm done worrying!! I'm just going to try and chill out and enjoy it now. I always said I would be fine after 16 weeks and I'm determined that I will be lol!

Hey we had Chinese too it was yummy, I'm trying not to worry either but I still haven't felt anything but my bump is growing. Xx

 

[Cherrybump]

Lol im not having any fast food tonight. Still not defo any defiant movement yet but thats ok. My bumo hasnt growen to much yet either lol. Stil the same as i was last week.xxx

 

[Kaybee]

LJ I think you will still need the flu jab - just give your doctors surgery a phone.

I'd say its just in the last week I've felt more movements. I remember when I was pregnant with Kaiden that it was around the same time I felt him but because he was my first I wasn't sure.

What's everyone up to this weekend? I'm hoping for a lazy one after a busy one last weekend.

Spending the day in bed Mainly because I am still scraping wallpaper off my living room walls and it's depressing in there lol.

 

[Kaybee]

I HATE scraping wallpaper - I feel for you. If I had the chance to stay in bed I would its freezing here.

 

[lj2245]

It has taken me over a week to do 1 and a half walls. It's horrendous. Good news is I pulled at a bit of the hall wallpaper and it looks like it's going to come off easily

Freezing here too. Brr!

 

[Kaybee]

Oh boy, you've got the hall to do too I quite like painting & DIY stuff, not gloss paint, but I don't like the clean up. Its nice when its all finished though and you put the room back together again. We've been in rented places for a while now so haven't been able to do any. The place we are in now is all white...I keep thinking it would be nice to do a couple of rooms with just one wall with colour...will maybe ask the landlord and see what they say.

 

[lj2245]

The living room, hall and nursery It will take forever lol. The nursery currently has woodchip so I'm not looking forward to that. All the woodwork in the house is a strange browny yellow colour so we will need to sand it all down and paint it all white. It's a tough job but it will be worth it

 

[bbymc]

Hey.
I got the flu jag a few weeks ago. Still think you need to get it Laura. That must have been horrendous having swine flu!

Is anyone else getting the whooping cough vaccine? I'm gona get it as its rife just now and I never had it when I was wee.

We were at the midwife today. Everything is progressing well and baby's heartbeat is strong and healthy. So relieved! We bought the Moses basket, nursery decor and cot bedding yesterday. Can't wait to move into the house and sort the nursery now! Anyone else got their midwife appt soon?

I'm still sick. Gona go back to the docs and get back on the tablets as its getting back to what I was like before. Total nightmare!

Anyone else thinking about how you're gona do up the nursery? Xx

 

[lj2245]

I have no idea what to do with the nursery. We might strip it down and get it plastered then wait until baby is born before we decide for definite, as baby will be in our room for the first 6 months. Well, that's the idea. Shaun was 9lb 11oz when he was born and only fit in his crib until he was 3 months old so we had no choice but to move him to his cot!! He was sooo long. He's still quite tall for his age lol.

I phoned the doc today and got an appointment for my flu jab. It's 2 weeks today. When I had swine flu it was Xmas time 2010, and I had bought Stephen a boxing day VIP ticket for the Man U vs Sunderland game at Old Trafford. It was an all day thing, with unlimited drinks, a 4 course meal, VIP seats for the match and a meet and greet with the players. Stephen loves Man U and also loves Craig Gordon, who played for Sunderland at the time, so it was an ideal match. It cost me a fortune and because it started at 10am on boxing day, we had to drive down on Xmas day. I was ill but thought I had a cold. Stephen's best pal and brother came with us. On Boxing day I felt even worse and the 3 boys got steaming drunk while I sipped fresh orange. I couldn't eat my meal and felt worse as the day went on. When it was over, I went to bed in the hotel and the boys went out in Manchester. They found a 24 hour pub and were still drinking at 9am. Needless to say, I had to drive us home and I have never felt so ill in my life. When we got home I went to bed and didn't get out of it again for 2 weeks lol. It took months to recover and it was because of the swine flu that I suffered for over a year with my arthritis. I only went back into remission with that in April this year. I dread getting the flu again because I know it can totally set me back and cause my immune system to start attacking my body again. So yeah....I definitely need the flu jab lol!!

 

[bbymc]

God Laura that sounds horrendous. I hd normal flu about 5 years ago. I was so ill I was hospitalised and genuinely thought I was gona die. After that I've paid for the jag every year. Now I work for social services though, I get it free. I'd be paranoid if I didn't get it.

Shaun was a big boy then. Bet you're hoping for a smaller baby this time round? Lol xx

 

[lj2245]

Yes, if only so I don't need to spend so much on clothes! Shaun was lovely though, all chubby cheeky and blonde hair. I loved his wee thighs to bits lol.

 

[bbymc]

Haha yeah, there is something super cute about chubby babies. Awww, I can't wait til all ours are born so we can all see what they look like! Lol xx

 

[lj2245]

Well my wee Shaun is unwell. Got sent home from school yesterday and has been up all night with a temperature and a sore throat. Poor wee soul is tucked up in my bed now sipping water and watching Spongebob. He won't eat so I'm going to make some pancakes to try and tempt him! He's already passed up the porridge and omelette I made him (trying to think of soft food!!) and he loves them so time to bring out the big guns! He loves pancakes with honey.

 

[arlene]

Hope he's feeling better soon Laura. I feel like I could eat all day today, just constantly feel peckish and want to pick at things! Just had some soup and a yoghurt so hopefully that will fill me up for a while!

I'm booked in to get my flu jab on friday. Hoping it'll help as I feel all blocked up and my nose bleeds everytime I blow it!

Anyone else been having crazy dreams? I've always had odd dreams and occasionally wake up crying, last night I dreamt my 17yr old neice had cancer and we were going to her funeral except she hadn't died yet so it was more like a goodbye service and ahe was totally at peace with it all. Then I went outside and saw her coffin but couldn't understand how she'd died so quickly! And the night before last, John had to wake me cos I was in hysterics dreaming I'd gone to my nana's house for the first time since she passed away in July (I still haven't actually been yet) and had a massive breakdown! It's actually left me quite upset and missing her the last few days Anyone else's subconscious doing crazy things? Xx

 

[lj2245]

I've been having strange dreams, yeah. I'm getting very uncomfortable now though so wake up about 20 times a night so haven't had a proper dream in a while, just loads of strange wee ones lol.

 

[Cherrybump]

Im defo getting whooping cough hun. Had the flu jag dont think ive ever at the flu though lol x

 

[lj2245]

You would definitely know if you'd had it
