Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[bbymc]

Aw I hope you had a nice evening with Kaiden Karen!!

 

[bbymc]

morning girls. Hows everyone today?

I'm still choked with the cold. Its getting better but the cough is lingering so my muscles still hurt like hell!

How's the nursery comin along today Laura?

My friend just put up pics on fb of her new wee baby boy. Archie James is his name. So cute. She had a section so should get home today. I never thought about it but she says she can't wait to get home cos of how loud the labour ward is! Lol. Can't be very easy tryin to sleep next to other crying babies while listening to women labouring! . Here's hoping I'm not in there long! Lol x

 

[arlene]

Aww Emma that's lovely your friend had a wee boy! I loved the name Archie, it's John's middle name, but he wasn't keen on it at all! Lol.

I managed to get an ok sleep last night. I'm the same though, I keep waking up choked! I need to nip down to tesco for stuff to make some easter nest cakes for my team at work as I finish up on Tuesday!! Eeek!! Xx

 

[Kaybee]

We didn't really do anything. He was so hyper cause he conked out for an hour just before dinner

I didn't sleep very well. Just thinking about how much I am going to miss him when I am in hospital

Arlene you looking forward to finishing work?

Laura, did you get something tasty made for dinner last night?

 

[lj2245]

Gammon Steaks and pineapple lol. Was hoping the pineapple would get things moving but this baby is SO stubborn! Just lots more contractions, more plug and nothing else!! Can't wait to see the MW tomorrow so I can beg for a sweep lol.

My SPD is unbearable now. I cannot get any significant sleep at all because of the pain. I went to bed at 8:30 last night and fell asleep right away but woke ever 20-30 mins until I finally got up at 9:30 this morning. My ears are starting to hurt an unbearable amount too Usually they are sore because I have to sleep on my sides (a side effect of my arthritis) but they are all swollen and bruised feeling now. It's horrible. I'm hoping the MW takes pity on me! I doubt she will right enough, she's a misery!

You must be so excited now Karen. Your last day as a Mum of 1! What time is Kaiden off to your Mums? Did you get your legs shaved?

Stephen loves the name Archie and I like it but not enough to name the baby that, to Stephen's sadness.

I've been avoiding the nursery. Not sure if I've done the right thing. The walls are looking great but he's so messy! There is plaster all over the floorboards and doors/doorframes All that glossing! I'll need to sand them down and start again. I'm glad we ripped off the skirting because that would have been a nightmare. New skirting will be here on Tuesday but we need to paint the walls and ceiling and sort the doors/doorframes before we can put it up. Then we need to order a carpet and then build all the furniture.

It's never going to be done in time! If I wasn't in agony I'd be crossing my legs and hoping the baby stays in as long as possible!

 

[Kaybee]

Mmm gammon. Dave was on about getting some gammon the other day cause we havent had it in ages.

I hope you get a sweep tomorrow and a decent sleep. We are all having a crappy time.

I am fuzz free, or as fuzz free as I can get had to do it myself dave should get home about 530 then we will have dinner and take Kaiden up to MIL.

Thats a shame about the nursery. At least you dont need it ready for baby to go in right away. Still a pain though.

 

[bbymc]

Aww Laura. Sounds like you're having an awful time! You'd have a good case for a sweep if i was your MW so fingers crossed you get one! Don't see why she wouldn't give one since she'll see the pain you're in!

Sounds like the nursery's gettin there slowly. If it doesnt get done in time it won't matter that much really since Alex will be in his Moses basket for a wee while. Hopefully long enough for you to get finished.

Aw Karen. It'll be tough without kaiden around at hospital but hopefully you'll to rest and kaiden will be all excited when he visits to meet his new baby brother i hope everything goes well for you. I can't wait to see pics!

arelene, thats good you got a better sleep. Thinkin about Easter, you've got me thinkin. I'm gona make Easter nests like i used to with the kids at work lol. Pass some time lol.

Cherry- happy 38 weeks to us! Fingers crossed we don't have too long to wait now!

 

[bbymc]

good effort with the defuzz Karen! Lol. Not a clue how I'm gona manage to do mine when i need to!

 

[arlene]

Karen, I can't wait to finish up!! Feel so shattered!! Ended up having a wee nap for an hour before we went to the cinema last night, something I very very rarely did before being pregnant unless I had been out the night before!!I made some Easter Egg Nest cakes for my team this afternoon, gonna take them in on tuesday for my last day. I've attached a pic.

Laura, I just noticed what your ticker says for 37 weeks

"No mommy, that's not another baby up your butt, just me locking into position for birth"

That's exactly how I feel today!!!! Feeling loads of pressure in my bum like I need to go or pass wind, but then I end up almost constipated! Sorry for TMI!! Lol.

Everyone keeps asking if I'm nervous about it being so close but in all honesty, I'm not!! Really I just want to meet him already!! Lol xx

 

[lj2245]

I fell back asleep again at 11 and (apart from waking to change sides on the couch) have only just woken again and only because the dog licked me. Having some more pineapple.

Have become so desperate I have been begging Stephen for a cup of semen Rejected the sex idea when he brought that up as I don't want to be a 'pity lay' haha.

I started getting the baby in the bum feeling last week too

I wish I weren't so tired or grumpy. I want to be glowing and nesting!! How are you people even able to make it to the kitchen never mind make cakes?

Stephen's Dad is about having a heart attack in the nursery. He's been trying to do the 2nd skim on the ceiling (to cover minging artexy ceiling that was there before) and he sounds like a tennis player with all his grunting. I feel so bad for him, putting plaster on a ceiling must be excruciating!

I don't feel bad enough to help though.

 

[Kaybee]

Oh jeez, I actually have no energy. I need to go upstairs and pack mine, baby's and Kaiden's bags and pee and I just don't think I can.

Me & Kaiden are not long back from lunch with my mum and her OH. I am stuffed which is making me more sleepy. I wold manage a cake though if anyone would care to bring me one

@ Stephen's dad sounding like a tennis player. There is no way I could plaster a ceiling....I can't even paint one

Laura shall we all sign a petition for you to get a sweep from your MW tomorrow. I hope you do.

Eeeeeee by this time tomorrow I should hopefully have had my baby....that's crazy

 

[Kaybee]

Oh, a lady I work with her DIL, also called Karen, was due the same day as me and has had her baby today. She had another girl

 

[lj2245]

EVERYONE is having babies just now! It's crazy. I know about 20 people who have either just had a baby or are expecting in the next couple of months. My FIL and his wife are expecting 3 grandchildren in April! 1 is mine and the other 2 are his wife's children's babies! Crazy.

 

[Cherrybump]

BB- yay for being 38 weeks lol. Im being to think il just get to my due date over go over few days lol.

Arlene those cakes look super yummy! lol

My sleep is weird right now. Ill wake up and toss and turn in a very light sleep feel like i cant switch off. Or ill lay awake for an hour or so some nights are ok can sleep right through without getting up for the loo lol. But i feel like im back in first trimester again i had been awake for 2 hours and felt like i needed to nap :S.

the guy above me is starting to piss me right off!.. He's so heavy footed and yells at the game he's playing.dropping things to the floor or throwing them on the floor. I just banged up to get the guy to stop and he had the cheek to bang back down then it went quite for few mins then he jumped on my ceiling :S he needs shot like. I hope when paige arrives and she is crying i hope it loud enough to piss the wanker off lol.

Oooh i hope you get your sweep hun. I so want mines to but i have to wait it out until my next app lol unless paige comes early

Im starting to feel heavier down there when i walk and im sick of needing to poop all the time lol sometimes i get this pressure down there like she's trying to get her way out lol.

Im off to Ryans mums for a roast soon. Yum! xxx

 

[bbymc]

lol. I had a right wee giggle at your last post there Laura lol. Bugger the cup of semen idea tho lol. Stick with the pineapple! Lol.

Its quite depressing reading about all you guys making soLol.ort of progress. Lol. I'm feeling nowt except exhausted and emotional lol! I just want things to get going! Lol.

The only reason I'm gona attempt to make Easter nests is to pass some time and act as a distraction lol. I prob won't even eat any since chocolate gives me horrendous heartburn lol.

Well after having a proper conversation with my cousin on Thursday about not touching our stuff we've came home today to find she's been at it again. I just lost it and became a total crying mess lol. So Ryan's talking to her tonight. I think he's finally realised how stressed she's made me and that she really is just blatantly ignoring us and showing zero respect.

 

[lj2245]

Ugh it doesn't sound like she's going to change. It's like she thinks you'll just keep letting her away with it. She obviously realises you are a kind person and is taking advantage.

The pineapple has just given me heartburn, nothing else.

Progress? Are you kidding me? I'd kill to be in your shoes. Lol. When I had Shaun I plodded along nicely then woke up one day with contractions and knew instantly that was it. None of this weeks of guessing and pain and gunk coming out of me. When I think about the ridiculous things I've been trying to get my labour to progress from prodromal to real, I fear for my sanity!

Stephen's Dad has finished the plastering and has left to go home already. He couldn't get out the door fast enough! He was supposed to be staying tonight and I have bought 10 pork chops for dinner lol. Looks like Tess will be getting some pork tonight, lucky dog! Lol.

 

[Cherrybump]

I dont think pineapple works much for anyone lol. I had pineapple for few days and nothing really happen much. I get on of cramps but nothing else.

Oooooh what is it you use to make those chocolate nests lol.

Think Arlene has start some baking going of in here lol xx

 

[bbymc]

Well, yeah Laura. I suppose if I had nothing then one day it all just started I'd be happy. But right now I feel like I'm always going to be pregnant. Lol. Why'd your FIL rush away? Did you not ask him to stay for tea again? He was prob knackered!

Yeah I don't think my cousin will change. It's a shame cos she's managed to alienate herself from most of her family and everyone was kinda feeling like living with us would help her learn. We're really trying to help her but there is only so much I can take! Everyone else has given up on her and if we chuck her out, she'll not really have anywhere else to go and we will have given up on her too. But we've tried to be fair and gave her clear guidance about what we expect and nothing seems to be changing. I've gotta put myself first now. So this is it. We are going to very explicit in telling her she's out if she doesn't change. If she doesn't heed that, then more fool her! I'm done with it!

Christine, to make the nests you just melt chocolate and add broken up shredded wheat cereal, put in cakes and add wee mini eggs on top

 

[Kaybee]

I have so many friends on FB either expecting a baby or recently had one. There must be a baby boom

Well I've made a start to the packing. Just stopped for a wee rest. Going to get a coffee and and a wee snack. I am so thirsty. Think it must of been the bacon in my all day breakfast.

for the plastering being finished. He's probably away home to recover after doing the ceiling

I'm not making any progress either Emma. I would probably go over if I wasn't getting an ELCS and you'd probably have your baby before me

Christine I am so glad I don't have anyone living above me. What an inconsiderate ratbag.

 

[lj2245]

He left before we asked him to do anything else I think

You've been more patient than I would have been. I'd have made the last warning the final one!

I'm starving. Beginning to regret getting the pork chops, I have no energy to cook lol. Need to peel, parboil and roast potatoes too I would be happy with mash but Stephen hates it.
