consider yourself stalked lea!

So sorry to all the ladies with swelling! The last time I was in the hospital the nurse insisted that I was swollen and I had to explain to her that my hands just look that way- out of the 20lbs I've gained I swear my hands have gotten fatter (one of the first things that usually do when I gain/loose weight) and so have my feet. Not so hard to understand right?? lol. She just wouldn't believe me when I said that my hands were their normal size. Up side to this is my mom told me today that I'm looking skinny (I can only assume she means my back looks thinner because my belly does not! haha)

I'm watching my little brother while my mom, her bf and DH work on the cabin- it's almost ready to start moving things into! SO EXCITING! We're hoping to get moved out of the house by the 26th and all moved ito the new place.

Miss Rosie has been moving all around all day!!! My hips are so sore so it's nice ot take it easy.

 

[camishantel]

yeah my grandma told me my butt looks thinner.. lol... but I have lost a lot of weight in this pregnancy...

Caro I will try and send some of the sun your way, it was lovely here today but it rained overnight last night. I do love living so close to the beach although by back is killing this evening probably to do with my new centre of gravity! Just had a long bath some paracetamol and am off to bed. Great news on the cabin sam you will have to post some pics. Rainbow I will check out that link tomorrow. Hope you had a better day today. X

This should work - I have serious baby brain and cannot work things out today

Here is my 35+4 wk pic

a joke my dad sent me i thought was hilarious.

Should children witness childbirth? Good question.

Here's your answer.

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could See while he helped deliver the baby...
Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed And pushed and after a little while, Connor was born.

The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry.
The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed..
Kathleen quickly responded, 'He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place.....smack his ass again!'

Lol Dana xD Nice joke

Ahh I need to stop buying baby clothes... I seriously have nowhere to put anymore yet everytime I go out I buy at least one little thing.
Theyre all just so cute though! :3

 

[JakesMummy]

I know what you mean with the clothes Gem!!! As long as they aren't all Newborn size as they outgrow them in a couple of weeks!! I got quite a few dresses for Summer (thats if we have a decent one!) and got them in 3-6 months..I figure she may be our last and she's a girl, so she'll be spoilt for a few months!!

Ebay is so handy for small outfits as you know they won;t have been worn that much and most go for 99p or so. I usually get Next or Monsoon etc

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Dana that is a great joke!

I know Gem I have a hard time not buying too but now I just buy stuff in bigger sizes to justify it...LOL but I am still getting a bit carried away and still have another baby shower at the end of this month. Oh my.

 

[lilgemsy]

Ive got alot of newborn and 0-3 months and a few bits in 3-6 months.
Never actually tried ebay... I should really lol. Would probably save alot of money!

 

[DanaBump]

i bought quite a few things in 0-3 but that'll last til 12 lbs so i'm hoping she lasts a bit in that. only one outfit in newborn tho. if i do buy now, i'll buy in 3-6 or 6-9. gotta love the ever present excuse to shop!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

It's so hard to resist baby shopping, isn't it Gem? I swear it takes every ounce of my strength to resist spending money I don't have. Half the time, I resist the urge of even going out by reminding myself of what gas prices look like, lol.

I still need to get a few things that I thought I had. Good thing I get paid this week. I had a baby bathtub and my mom gave me a second one. I gave the second one to my niece who is due in August only to discover that the one we already had is missing the plug. So now I need a new baby bathtub. I also need pump replacement parts, a few more towels, baby shampoo. I don't need overly expensive things, thankfully, but I know going out to get what I do need will result in $300 overspent on things I don't need.

 

[camishantel]

I still have so much to get.. I really need to make a list lol... I am just so tired the last few days...

 

[MissFox]

We still have a few things that we need to get but for the most part I am not allowed to buy any clothes until size 9m- and even then depending on how much my friends continues to give us! Maybe the occasional too cute for her not to wear it outfit, lol.

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Ladies are any of you having round ligament pain again?? That is the only thing I can think of that it is. I have the worst pain at the bottom of my bump where I use to feel the RL pain.

 

[camishantel]

36 week bump.... I am having lots of pains in the bottom of my bump too I just thought it is because he has dropped and is engaging?? I should have taken pics of the front of my bump before now because it has narrowed out and changed and I am getting little to no movement but when I do it is the first time I have been getting movement in the middle of my tummy instead of to the left of my tummy

 

[MissFox]

ME ME ME but my RLP never went away
