Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[Kaybee]

6 days!!!!!!!

We are all getting near to meeting our babies how exciting!

Oh that's brilliant At my 35 week appointment Alex's head was completely free! Did she say he was fully engaged or so many 5ths? Fingers crossed you don't have long to wait

I can't believe I forgot to say but I sorted things out with my Dad. I was thinking about it over the weekend and decided I would go over to his flat and confront him and allow him the chance to apologise, for Shaun's sake. I think Shaun has lost enough recently and doesn't deserve to lose another grandparent. Long story short, I did confront him and told him what I thought about his behaviour and he has apologised. He has also promised me the money to pay the credit card, which he should be giving me tomorrow. Hurrah! My sister has been begging me to sort things out with him because she has been the one he's been bombarding with phone calls over the past 4 weeks so I have told her things will be changing from now on and she has agreed to speak to him more often and do things for him that don't require her to be here (such as phoning people for him). Hopefully things will be better now but if not he's been told he's on his own

It has just hit me how tired I am today. Shaun woke up at 4am after having a nightmare and it took until 6 for us to get back to sleep so I am exhausted. I might try to squeeze in a quick nap before 3! Then it's busy busy busy for the rest of the night.

Laura thats great news that your dad has apologised. I know that it means a lot to you. I really hope that things change and your sister does help out etc. Maybe you will just have to be firm with them if they start to slip at all. Really pleased for you and Shaun though.

Go and enjoy some zzzzz. I have no chance of a nap with two 3 year old boys here.

Laura i noticed you said you checked your cervix. There is a group on facebook and they were talking about checking their cervix themselves to lol. I tried what one of them said yesterday and couldnt find or feel whatever im meant to hahaha. I guess its little further back or something :s dont really know what im looking forward. I know her head is 2/5th engaged lol.

I also noticed when i went to bed last night that the top of my bump usually really hard but it like shifted down lol so im hoping that shes moving down lol also having little pain (or could me lightying crotch) every so often down in the area and kind of shoot little down my right leg :S. ive now nicked the sofa and nothing has happened since.

Anyways glad you managed to fixed things with your dad hun.

Oooo Arlene brillant news he's engaged lol. xxx

 

[arlene]

She didn't say how far just that he's engaged now and his head is fixed? So I'm assuming that means he's going in the right direction! Lol. She also said she can't see any reason I shouldn't be able to have a water birth at the Simpson Centre as I've kept really well throughout and have no swelling or anything. Just hoping he stays put til at least after the first weekend in April as that's when we're away to Nottingham for the hockey finals and I don't want to miss it!!

That's great you've sorted things with your dad Laura. Hopefully the chat with your sister has worked as well and she'll realise you can't be expected to do it all on your own with the two boys to look after!!

 

[arlene]

Morning girls. How are you all?

I had such a bad sleep last night Woke up at least 4 or 5 times and my right hip was so sore when turning over or getting up to the loo. Thankfully I'm on holiday today so can rest.

What are you all up to today? Xx

 

[lj2245]

Hey I was out late last night with Shaun's first confession so by the time I got home I was knackered but then I started getting proper, painful contractions They stopped after a couple of hours and were totally irregular so I knew it wasn't properly time but I didn't have anything like that with Shaun!

This wee baby is trouble I knew it!

Any plans other than rest, Arlene?

 

[arlene]

Aww Laura, maybe a sign!! How did his confession go? Did you go for a meal as well? Xx

 

[lj2245]

We were going to go to Nandos first but I ended up stuck on the phone for 2 hours trying to sort something for my Dad that my sister messed up lol! At least she tried to do something though.

Ended up getting Shaun some sushi and went to his Papa's house to meet up with his Dad and his family, then to Chapel, then there was a wee party with a magician afterwards. It didn't finish until 9:30 and it took us an hour to get home in the snow so I have a tired wee boy today!

He did us all very proud though, remembered everything he had to say and did it no problem at all.

 

[arlene]

Aww that's brilliant Laura, you must be so proud of him!!

I was supposed to be going for lunch with my mum and John's mum but the weather out my mums way is really bad, she's in Blackridge. So we've decided to put it off til next week. I might still nip out to livingston and have a wee look at the cot we want before I order it online. Gonna try and get some joggies for kicking about the house after the birth.

You guys doing much today? Xx

 

[lj2245]

Asda have brilliant ones for £5 a pair lol. I have 2 pairs ready to go!

 

[arlene]

I got two pairs from tesco in a size 20 and they were still rather tight in the legs! Gonna try sports dirext and get some guys pairs instead! Big and comfy! Lol. Trying to get the motivation to move though. Currently still sitting in my jammies watching greys anatomy xx

 

[Kaybee]

You must be so proud of Shuan, Laura

These ranitidine tablets are amazing! Again no heartburn last night - although was sick again this morning. Just likely 5 more mornings of being sick though

I will probably be doing some more washing of baby stuff and that's about it. Snowing here again today so not planning on going out anywhere.

 

[lj2245]

Excellent I've been lucky this time and have only had HB a couple of times.

I'm so bored being stuck in the house! I just build my changing unit It's looking lovely. It's a Babies R Us Shoreditch one with Mamas and Papas white baskets. I'm going to gut out the car when Shaun is in his Tae Kwon Do class and fit the car seat. We were supposed to be getting our new car on the 8th April but they have delayed it for a month due to production delay lol!

 

[lj2245]

Ok...so I've just been to the toilet and when I wiped there was a tiny bit of a show. Trying not to go into too much detail incase any of you are eating

It wasn't anything significant...just a little streaky bit.

I didn't get this with Shaun. I just went into labour. This is all totally new to me, I feel like a first time mum again

 

[arlene]

Eeek Laura!! Keep us posted!!!

I ended up feeling like a whale when I tried joggies on in sports direct found some black jammies in primark that have cuffs at the bottom and are proper stretchy so got 2 for hospital. Got some stretchy t-shirts for lounging and a decent toilet bag.

Not sure if it's cos I had a crap sleep last night but I think the irrational rattiness is creeping in. Our male dog is being really clingy and keeps getting under my feet. I end up I keep shouting at him and then feel guilty and upset after! Xx

 

[lj2245]

I feel sooooooo nauseous!

 

[bbymc]

Laura... Glad you've sorted things with your dad! Fingers crossed your sis steps up and helps out! Bet you were so proud of wee Shaun last night!

Contractions and a show I'm jealous! Lol. Fingers crossed something gets moving for you!! So exciting!

Arelene, that's great James is engaged. Fingers crossed its not too long for you either!

Karen, glad your heartburn has gone! Mine is horrendous!

I've been feeling soooo ill today! Didn't sleep at all last night as my cough was so bad. I think I've pulled every muscle cos of it! I'm struggling to eat and I've obviously got a temperature! Total balls!! Being pregnant is hard enough, never mind this too! been on paracetamol all day to help me feel a bit better but I'm not convinced its doing anythin.

To top it off my cousin who lives with us has been telling other family a load of lies about stuff that's been happening. Making me out to be totally unreasonable! I'm raging!

 

[CherylC3]

Oh Laura is baby coming? I'm booked in for a section on the 9th of April due to frank breech and a low lying placenta.

Hope u ladies are well..x

 

[Cherrybump]

I was going to get those black jammie button to but i thought nah ive already got old ones i could use lol xx
