Caro where are you? We ended up going to a garden centre which has a lovely outside play area and a cafe so we sat and had a drink while little Isla played on the slide etc. It was lovely but I am tired now! Think I need a nap! I was going to get some of my sewing project done but I may put that on hold til next week when I am a bit quieter.
Bernina I think it is crazy that you guys dont get longer off, I dont know how I would manage if I was still working.

I'm near brighton! so just down the coast , we saw a little glimmer of sun this afternoon but not all that much, the clouds seem glued in the way

Sounds like you had a lovely afternoon! I spent mine in Asda and managed to spend £60 but they didn't have the shower curtains I wanted for my home birth, grrr! So this little man had better wait now until I've found another source to protect the floors!

Hope all is ok gem...did you go get checked out again? xx

 

[CottlestonPie]

Aw man... I would sooo love a day trip to Brighton this spring/summer. Must try and talk DF into it. He's never been there.

 

[caro103]

Never been there and you're only in Kent wow! yep you should def do a day trip , though prob on the train or something, I always hate getting grid locked in traffic when the weather is nice! x

 

[smeej]

thanks to everyone for their support and advice....i think i've just resolved to wait to see what happens - and make a decision when the time comes, and hope and pray that everything goes well regardless

No sunshine here in Cambs today - still grey and overcast with a real chill in the air!

Hey rainbow,

So glad Ben is doing so well! However can't believe you want to give birth again!!!! LOL!!

Also, do you mind if I ask how you are combining feeding? Ie; breast , expressed and formula?

Ideally - if all goes ok , that's what i would like to do

The weather here is wonderful today! I am loving it...70 and sunny

NST was fine. Had BH the whole time again and Gunner didn't want to stay on the monitor. I really can't wait to see what he is estimated to be on the scan monday. It will have been 2 weeks and at the last scan he was 7lbs 4oz...and I finally gained some wight 2lbs since monday. LOL So now I am up 9lbs. WOOHOOO

I know, its shocking!! He doesn't get out much bless him
It'd definitely be by train. DF is a motorbiker... he gets sooo antsy in a car when theres traffic about that he cant just squeeze through!

Bubs keeps headbutting my laptop. Think that means I need to get off my bum and do some housework. Doh!

 

[MissFox]

I just lost some of my plug- not a bunch but a gob for sure!

 

[bernina]

That's awesome MissFox!!!! When is your next appt again (pregnancy brain, sorry!)?

 

[JazzyCat]

Yay Miss. Fox!!! Sounds like you are ready!!

My NST went well yesterday! Have to keep going twice a week on top of other appointments... But I guess it's good they are keeping a close eye on my LO. Midwife said we've got a good sized baby already! Fluid level is at low end of normal but They will keep an eye on it and I will keep drinking water like a fish... Blood pressure was normal which was a huge relief. Still trace protein in urine so just keeping vigilant for any additional preecclampsia symptoms. Eager to get to Monday and full-term status!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Yay Sam!!

 

[MissFox]

Not until next wednesday. I had one yesterday but she didn't check me. Getting some EPO tonight to see if it helps things along...

 

[DanaBump]

sam- one of my friends lost her plug 2 weeks before she delivered. getting close!!

 

[MissFox]

It definitely wasn't all of it- but it was unlike discharge I've had before. Like EWW MY LADYBITS JUST BLEW ITS... wait- it doesn't have a nose!!! PLUG!
I also almost got into the shower with my jammies on.

 

[JazzyCat]

My mom lost her plug the day of... Only way she knew she was in labor. Went to doc and was 9 cm with her first baby. She said she didn't even feel contractions until they broke her water then it got bad. I'm asking them not to break my water in my birth plan... Seems to me it will break when it's ready!

 

[chocojen]

Caro, I love Brighton me and nick often go for a weekend there. I love the Jazz Club Casa Blance and going shopping in the lanes. Glad you saw some sunshine today.

Sam woohoo how exciting.....things are happening

Smeej sorry you are having a rough time

Rainbow, but you are a mummy again now....pleased you had such a positive experiene in birth. Just remember how uncomfortable the last few weeks were!

Had a cuddle today with a 3 week old little man whose mummy is from my aqua natal group. As soon as I held him, my little fella started kicking like crazy! It was so funny. I cant wait to meet my little fella now xxx

 

[caro103]

yay MissFox, lets hope its not long for you now!

Choco, aww your bubba was prob jealous! hehe.

im doing all three expressing BF and formula, he feeds every two hours so feeds kinda merge into one lol

i express about 3 times a day , breast feed a few times then tend to formula during night and when out

but generally just do whatever we want at the time, we did the same with alex and it suited us well xxxxxx

 

[DanaBump]

rainbow- thank you for the info, i'd really love to combo feed and wasn't really sure how to do it. i'm finding out i should be a little less picky and just do what suits our family. nice to know someone else who knows what they're doing, is doing the same thing. i just always thought formula would fill her belly more and would love to do that at night in hopes she sleeps better. again, nice to know i can do that with no harm.
