Beautiful weather here too, although ive only been out in it to hang out the washing :-( xx
 
Jakes Mummy we are really close I live in Wallington it is a beautiful day today - even have my washing out. Where are you having your baby?
 
Gem, glad Mom is able to be with you as much as possible. Hope you're doing well today.

happy, sorry that your appt yesterday was such a waste, really awful when they don't have their act together.

Abz, I totally agree, weeks 35-36 were really hard, but seem to have turned a corner once I hit 37 and have more energy and swelling has lessened overall on feet (still there, but doesn't act up as bad).

Thanks Dana, yep it's an antibiotic that can prevent blindness caused by certain STDs. It's rare to have any problems but the government requires it non the less because it's so easy to prevent. It's kind of a clear ointment really and can blur babies vision more than it already is. Dana is totally right, they really can't focus on anything but apparently when held at breast level they are able to get a general focus on your face and anyone elses who is that same distance away. Not really a huge issue of course, but if they can wait an hour then I think I'll have them do it.

My little one is pretty quiet these days during the day but moves around a bit in the early evening, especially after I have a treat. Everyone at work keeps saying how much I've dropped (so much so that people actually stop me and make me turn sideways for them) but I don't really feel any different. I keep hearing people say that when baby drops it feels like a head between your legs and you have to sit differently, that's definitely not the case for me.

Managed to shave legs this morning but lady area will have to wait until I have more time in the morning. I manage to keep the sides neat and tidy but could use a nice close trim on the main attraction. Also need to paint my toenails!

Cottleston, that's awesome about the bonus from work, lucky girl!!

Terrible weather here today, rain and since it's right around freezing we're supposed to be getting an icy mix later today. I want spring!!!
 
Bernina I want spring too!!! We got lucky yesterday- actually made it into the mid/high 50s which was AMAZING for getting the rest of the sheetrock out of the cabin. The sky is VERY grey here now and it was raining most of the night.
DH came into bed around 1am and decided to play with Rosie (pretty normal- it's "their" time) but we couldn't get her to move. We spent until 2am trying- switching sides drinking cold drinks and nothing would work. I called the Dr office and they said to go in. We went in and after a couple minutes on the monitor Rosie started to move- they had to keep us a little long too because she still wasn't moving "enough"
I think one reason why I freaked out and didn't give it much more time at home was because I was feeling crampy, nauseous, and felt on FIRE. Then when I got up to go to the bathroom I was FREEZING! Back and forth.
I was showing some small contractions on the monitors every few minutes and had 2 big ones but nothing to be concerned about. I have an appointment with my MW this afternoon and I'm hoping that goes well.
 
MissFox, glad all is well with Rosie. I had a scare like that yesterday morning, could not get her to budge. Normally I poke at the top of my bump and imagine tickling her toes or run my hand over my belly button where the skin is thin and she'll give a little nudge or something, but I couldn't get a thing! Finally when I got into work and had some sugary oatmeal she finally started wriggling a bit.

Glad you were able to take advantage of the nicer weather yesterday. Sounds like the cabin is coming along well.
 
Thanks Reeds- I'm really hoping for progress lol. Although if DH was right a couple nights ago we should have progress. I'm hoping I start to feel better today too I'm feeling like i'm going to be stuck in bed all day but have so much to do.

YEY!!!! Congrats Kenny!!!! :happydance:
 
It has been gorgeous here today too, I sat in the garden for a bit and read my book and I actually caught the sun on my face!!! I had to go inside after a short time though as I got too hot!!!!
 
I know, totally jealous of the sunny weather. It's going to be quite cool this entire week! Guess we won't be using the new patio furniture anytime soon.

Sorry Tmi, but when I have been to the loo, a couple of times I have had green discharge. Have rung com midwifes as mine on hols and they said not to worry as it's prob a bit of my show. I asked if I should just pop to the nurse and get her to check for thrush but she said no it's not thrush. When I had a show with Holly it looked nothing like this?? More like a jellyfish (sorry again) on the tissue, and not green.

Hun, does it seem like discharge or could it be stained waters? When my waters went with number 1 (albeit in a huge gush, not leaking) the waters being this colour was the meconium in the amniotic fluid.

Besides that, if you are worried I'd ignore what she said and go to get checked anyway :thumbup:

I think it's too thick to be waters sort of too mucusy. Have had really funny period type pains though today, so think I will go tomorrow if it carries on. Thanks xx
 
Good idea on going tomorrow to get it checked cola, always better safe than sorry and who knows they may examine you and find out you're dilated and effaced :)
 
Woohooo, that'd be great. Am thinking this one may be early, but Holly was 10 days late. Maybe wishfull thinking x
 
And we aren't even in April yet!!!!


Babybefore30 - I am having LO AT Epsom Hospital - although St Helier has a good womens centre at the back now, but Epsom is a 2 minute drive so chose there - I delivered my first there and they are fantastic.
I often drive through Wallington - usually on my way to shop in Purley Way : D

Just read something that made a little sense, apparently it is fairly normal to have a lightly green tinged mucus plug due to a very small amount of oxidised blood when it formed. That unless it is accompanied with symptoms of an infection (the biggest one of course being smell), then chances are that is what it is.

Have to be honest though, I don't know if it is curiosity or just me being a worrying sort whilst pregnant, I'd still be tempted to have it checked :blush:
 
Got back from my appt with my midwife and DH didn't go with as he is sick (still- been almost a week). I was all alone and totally forgot to ask all the questions I normally do so IDK what my BP was or if there was +protein or anything lol.
She attempted to do a sweep but said my cervix wasn't open enough on the inside- but it is open on the outside. UGH! Poor DH did it wrong lol. She's having me come back Tuesday to try again in hopes of getting Rosie out before we move 1+hr from the hospital out horrible roads b/c if it keeps storming like it has been then she could very well be born in the car if a tree is down.
Oh- and today's weight gain puts me at 20lbs so far. Which is great because that's where I was at 2 weeks ago :happydance:
