Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[lj2245]

Haha so you did! I forgot about that. We have ditched the spag bol because I really have no energy to cook. I'm having a baked potato and stephen is having a pizza. I'm not in a pizza mood. What I really want is a huge bowl of dressed salad!! I think I might be a bit dehydrated after my nap lol.

Sometimes it's best to just let them get wet eh? Hehe. Shaun always heads right for the mud whenever we go out. He's the same at school too. I have to wash his coat every couple of days because he gets it so filthy! There's nothing better than going out in the rain sometimes, jumping in puddles then coming home to get into pjs and have some hot chocolate and cuddles

 

[Kaybee]

Yeah I dont think he even noticed how horrid it was he scoffed a hot choc at his nanny's in about 10 seconds!

I am aching tonight. Lower back, hips, pelvis and my ribs on one side. Got a hot water bottle on the go

Kaiden had a really late nap so who knows when I will get to bed tonight

 

[lj2245]

9 days to go though! And today is almost over It must be so exciting knowing when it's going to happen! Technically I could still have up to 5 weeks and 4 days if they have to induce Depressing

 

[Kaybee]

I was going to add that I have 9 days to go but then thought you guys will be sick of me of I start giving y'all a countdown every day

It is weird knowing. Really must get more things sorted out

 

[lj2245]

I wish I knew, it would be so much easier to plan!

What happens if you go into labour before then? It's only 4 days before your due date so it's a realistic possibility!

 

[Kaybee]

I think if it happens before then I just phone Ninewells and tell them and I think they would take me in. My sisters friend had an ELCS booked and labour started a few days before and she got taken in right away. In some ways I would like to go early but it would be a worry about getting Kaiden looked after as everyone works so FX he stays put until the 25th. Kaiden was 16 days late after (failed) induction, and I know everyone pregnancy is meant to be different but I don't think I will go early.

 

[lj2245]

Did they not want to book you in a week or 2 earlier just incase?

I'm still getting these random BHs. Baby doesn't seem so low now though

 

[bbymc]

well i had a Chinese tonight. Pizza yesterday. So unhealthy! I've been so hungry the last few days tho. I've shocked myself at how much I've been able to eat lol.

I never even thought of afterpains! God. Why do we have to go thru so much? Lol.

Can't believe its only 9 days Karen! I wish it was me! Its so exciting! x

 

[arlene]

Aww Karen, it's getting so close! 8 days now!! I never thought about after pains either!!

Concert went well last night. We have a break between Christmas and Easter usually so it was nice to catch up with a couple of friends. Rehearsals for our Spring concerts start on the 18th of april with concerts on the 23rd and 24th of May but I'm not aure I'm going to do them. James will be 4-5 weeks at most and I'd need to go to rehearsals every thursday starting when I'm 40+1. I just don't think I'll have the energy for it or want to leave him when he's so little!! Xx

 

[Kaybee]

I was glad I was given my ELCS date a week early as I think if I waited until my actual consultant appointment the date would of been nearer my due date. I was expecting it to be maybe 7 days early

I can't really remember after pains - just the contractions when BF but to be honest the first week or so is kind of a blur with exhaustion

Whats everyone up to today? Its miserable here again. My mum & her OH came up this morning and took Kaiden & Duke for a walk up the hermitage and then came back for me and we went for an all day breakfast. Yuuum! Me and K are now snuggled up on the sofa under a blanket

I was telling (moaning to) Dave about my aches and pains last night and Kaiden says 'mummy you need your hot water bottle' - he is such a sweetie. Also tells me this morning that his little brother is going to pop out

 

[bbymc]

Aww kaiden's lookin after you. Sweetie pie!

its glorious sunshine here today. Very warm too shame i agreed to go sit in the pub and watch the cup final! I'd rather be chilling with the dogs in the garden

I'm not as sore today will suffer after sitting on a crap bar stool for 90 mins tho!

 

[arlene]

Aww that's so cute Kaiden is looking after you!

I went to the Jack and Jill Market in Grangemouth today with my mum, MIL, my brother and his girlfriend. I got a mothercare travel cot for our livingroom for £15 and MIL bought us a mamas and papas bouncy chair for £20, the rrp was £80!! It doesn't vibrate or swing but it's very cute. My bro and his gf have decided they want to buy us a play mat/gym type thing as well. What's everyone else up to today? Xx

 

[Kaybee]

Oh well glad some of us are getting some sunshine. Its been nasty here all day.

I will be watching the F1 later when Dave gets home. Someone on my FB mentioned it earlier but I dont know if it was the race or qualifying results. I dont like watching it when I know what happens

Sounds like you got some bargains Arlene

 

[Cherrybump]

Hey ladies,

It is pretty sunny and warm to day uh lol I was at mums waiting for the sunday lunch to be made but my dad thought hey why dont i fix this drawer and take hours doing it lol.

Still getting few period pains here and there to. I'm now 37 weeks and a watermelon lol whoo xxx

Glad the concert went well Arlene

 

[Kaybee]

Eeeeeeee a week today

Got the painter back today to finish off so hope tomorrow to get cot down from attic and move our bedroom around to fit it in. Aim to pack mine and baby's bag this week too was thinking of getting a hair appt on Friday after my last scan but really dont know if I can face it. Got doc appt later today to hopefully get something for this heartburn.

 

[bbymc]

how's everyone today?

Ryan got a fair bit diy done over the weekend so only a few tiny bits to do now and we're all set to relax and enjoy baby when s/he decides to arrive.

Gona book myself in for a last min haircut this week so its shorter and more manageable for baby comin. It seems to have grown rapidly since I've been pregnant! Lol x

 

[bbymc]

lol. Thats funny we both mentioned our hair there. I submitted that reply before i saw your post lol

can't believe its only a week. You must be so excited! I packed my bag weeks ago lol. Your just getting yours packed now? Lol. I must be keen! You just putting the wee man in a cot straight away? No Moses basket or anythin? He'll look so tiny in it! x

 

[lj2245]

Hehe, I had my bag packed early with Shaun and packed it and repacked it so many times it was ridculous! I haven't done mine yet this time either. I have everything assembled in the general area of the bag and have washed it all but have yet to iron it and actually put it all in the correct bags. I did sort my changing bag when Stephen and Shaun were putting nappies on Baby Tad

I desperately want my hair cut too but I have been plagued with morning sickness and heartburn the past couple of days and have barely been able to move! I have also had really bad BHs still. I hope it's a sign things are happening but I just know I'm going to go overdue.

Do you think my midwife will give me a sweep when I see her a week today? I doubt she will but I plan on begging her anyway lol!

A week! Oh Karen. It's going so quickly! It seems like 5 mins ago we said 9 days. How come 2 days have gone since then? Lol!

I'd have put Alex right into a cot if I'd had room for one in my bedroom. As it goes I just have room for a moses basket. I put Shaun in a crib and it was the biggest waste of money ever because he grew out of it within 2 months. I had thought this baby would be big too so didn't want to waste the money!

 

[Kaybee]

that's funny both thinking about our hair. It reminds me when I went in for induction I became good pals with the girl in the next bed. Due dates the same, both in for induction on the monday and both only just get taken to labour & delivery on the Thurs! Anyway, the Thurs morning we were both out with the ghd's straightening our hair for the pictures we would get done with our new babies......should of seen the state of my hair by the time I looked at it later the next day And after all that I only got pics of just Kaiden

We will just use the carrycot bit from the pram and put that in the cot - that's what we did with Kaiden. No doubt he will end up in the bed with us too

I hope you've either got a massive bed or a skinny husband

I have thousands of photos of Shaun and everyone else with Shaun and didn't think there were any of me at all until I was looking through the memory box Shaun's Gran left him. There's a couple of photos of me in there the day Shaun was born and I look TERRIBLE! lol. I do look really young though
