Got little bouncey chair his mum bought us to cant wait to meet this little pudding now xxx

 

[lj2245]

Yeah we went up by Loch Lomond too. I just enjoyed the peace without the phone ringing constantly!!

Stephen has just left for work so I can get on with the painting now We went out to order a carpet this morning. We thought it would be so easy but I can't decide between 2. One is the same as what I have in my room and in Shaun's room but is cream (it's black in my room and bright red in Shaun's) and it's lovely in the bedrooms and would be ok but I fell in love with this other one she showed us with such a deep pile! It's the same as the one we have in the hall and stairs and is a similar colour so I'm thinking it might look better going in from the hall but because it's double the price of the other one, Stephen isn't keen. He doesn't think we need such a deep pile in a room that will only be used as a nursery. I can see his point but I keep looking at the samples and wishing we could have the dear one lol!!

That's a shame you couldn't get comfy when you were away Cheryl. I was the same in London. We're going away or the weekend next week and that's what I'm worried about. It'll be lovely to get away but I just know I won't sleep well.

That's good you've managed to get started on some stuff Laura. We were the same when we were choosing our flooring and we went for the dearer one so that it would last longer. The finish is great so we're chuffed. It's never easy to decide though!!

Well our scan was totally rubbish tonight! Baby was in the same position as usual and wouldn't budge! Except this time it kept putting its arm over its face so we never got any good pics at all. Only 3 in total. All featuring a chubby little arm! Lol

aww Arlene I tnink it would be worthwhile thinking about finishing a couple of weeks earlier. Your health is important too

Boo for uncomfy beds. Ive been in my own bed the last few nights, I usually end up in with Kaiden, and its been fab.....although we have had kaiden in with us it was because his bedroom window was getting replaced but even though thats all finished he is still managing to sneak in with us the monkey.

I am looking forward to joining you ladies on mat leave. I have one more week left I am glad to report that my sickness is back to mornings again but my throat is still efin sore

Dont think the nesting has hit me yet. We sorted out the kitchen a bit last night because we finally got a new cabinet up but thats about it!

I did manage to cut my toe nails this morning....that was quite an achievement. Going to wait until nearer my elcs date to do my legs etc. Thank goodness its not sunny outside so I can keep my legs covered

 

[Kaybee]

Surely baby is bigger than an melon....feels like he is massive

Surely baby is bigger than an melon....feels like he is massive

Yeah...that doesn't look much like a honeydew in the picture either lol. Mine is def bigger, he's practically bursting out!

I shaved my legs in the bath last night and the blood was pouring down my legs when I got out!! I haven't cut myself shaving in about 18 years hahah

On a happy note, considering I do nothing much but moan, one of the good things about me being pregnant is I don't have any problems reaching my toes! I am usually really bendy and can touch my toes normally but pregnancy just makes my ligaments like bubble gum! I can still bend over double and grab a whole foot in each hand without bending my knees. It also means it's easier for me to do things like tie laces, put socks on and so on lol.

So I have that and the thicker hair. 2 things that are improved in pregnancy. The rest has gone to buggery!

I feel like i am about to burst. Although the nurse at my scan yesterday said 'you are very neat for 35 weeks'. I could of hit her!

 

[Kaybee]

laura your poor legs! I said to dave he will have to shave my legs for me and he said he will give it a go. Dont think i will ask him to do my bikini area though and when i was pg with kaiden he wouldnt paint my toe nails for me cause he hates the smell. So dave can do my legs i will somehow make a shambles of my bikini area and get my mum to paint my toe nails.

I am struggling to think of any pregnancy positives apart from the baby at the end of course. I guess my hair is a bit thicker but the ends are really dry and is in dire need of a cut. My skin is starting to dry out now too.

EDIT dave hates the smell of nail polish, not my feet! Wellhe has never said anything about my feet anyway

 

[lj2245]

Haha I didn't even think of feet until I saw your edit

Stephen would make an arse of it if I asked him to paint my toe nails or shave my legs. I won't even let him paint the nursery!

You still do your bikini line? Oh you put me to shame! I figure if I can't see it any more, I can ignore it I tend to have disastrous results whenever I try and do anything there anyway, shaving and waxing leaves me with a terrible ingrown hair rash. I got stuff called ingrow go by skin doctors which is amazing for it but you can't use it in pregnancy because of the chemicals in it.

You wanted to hit her? I swear I would hump the leg of anyone who even suggested I was looking neat. All I get is 'how long have you got to go?' then when I tell them they go 'God, you look like you're about to burst!!'. People look at me nervously in the supermarket like they're scared I'm about to go into labour any second.

 

[Kaybee]

Err no I havent done my bikini line, or legs since december i just want them done before going in to hospital.

I cant use wax either as it makes my skin soo itchy on my legs with dryness and ingrown hairs I daren't try it anywhere else. I have an eplilator with a shaving head bit on it that i use for bikini.

Haha it just goes to show people can never say the right thing to a pregnant lady! I got it all.the.time. with kaiden as well how neat I was and it made me really paranoid that there was something wrong. At least this time with having the weekly scans I know baby is measuring ok so i guess i should take it as a compliment. Even if i feel huge and cant possible get any bigger without my ribs breaking

 

[lj2245]

Does it cut the hair or epilate? I wouldn't go near my bikini line with my epilator. They can go on about how painless it is on the adverts all they want but is it hell!

I might have to buy a ladytrimmer. I can't go in to hospital like chewbacca. They won't see the baby until he's right out at this rate.

December is nothing. I haven't touched my bikini line since my wedding/honeymoon in July! I came back and found out I was pregnant then had the MS then I couldn't see it any more I'll need to park myself infront of a mirror or something.

I got the huge thing with Shaun too but I honestly don't feel that big this time! Maybe it's because I was overweight to begin with this time and wasn't with Shaun but sometimes I forget I have a bump...like when I'm sitting down. I don't think I look too big in the mirror either. Huh. I can't wait for my scan on the 13th to find out what baby is weighing but I'd swear he was a lot smaller than Shaun was, as big as he feels. I'm not too confident in believing what they say at the scan though because I had a scan with Shaun at 38 weeks (I can't remember why) and they said he was going to be an 8lb baby!!

 

[Kaybee]

The shaving head just shaves/cuts...no way i would epilate down there or under my arms for that matter. It had been a while since i had done it before i had a go in december lol. I think i have only done it twice since i found out i was pregnant. I will for sure be parking in front of a mirror and hopefully see some of what i am doing

I asked at one of my scans what they thought baby's weight is and she said that you would think with all the equipment they have they would be good at that but she says they are pretty rubbish at guessing weights

 

[lj2245]

I don't think they can see fat properly on the scans. I am going to take what they tell me on the 13th with a pinch of salt and at most at least I'll know if baby is expected to be big, normal or small.

 

[lj2245]

I just ordered a wardrobe, chest of drawers, toy box and rugs online for the nursery. They are being delivered on Monday They cost £350 aswell....Stephen is going to kill me. They will be lying about the hall for ages getting in the way!

Oh well, I got them on 3 months interest free credit lol.

 

[Kaybee]

£350 for all that sounds like a bargain.

I came home with 5 bin bags full of baby clothes and bedding stuff etc the other day. My mum had kindly washed and dried it all for us but we have no where sorted out for it to go so after dave had a hairy fit about all the stuff we put it up in the attic. Mum has said that she has a spare chest of drawers so she going to get that dropped off for us soon. Hopefully it will be the first week of my leave and i can start nesting....and telling dave where to put stuff
