Caro we originally said to them dont worry we shall wait until baby is older etc But it has taken us so long just to get the kitchen here, so to wait another few months would probably turn into years!!!!! I did think of this though but in all honesty, I'd rather get it out of the way now!
The old kitchen really is bad - it is damp, falling apart, I swear it is from the 50s LOL!! And bodged together so bases of cupboards are falling through etc..really not hygienic either. Ugh - cannot wait until we have a place of our own!!!!

Hey ladies...havent read back but everyone is well.

I am pampering myself and get a spa pedicure...hoping the hit some of those pressure points for labor. lol. do feel a bit bad cause I didnt shave my legs. haha

 

[smeej]

Any UK insomniac ladies still wide awake?
I've been in bed for about 3 hours now without a hint of sleep and don't see it happening any time soon
Well at least the clocks have changed so it's one less hour to toss and turn!

 

[smeej]

Jakes- what a nightmare for you not good timing!! Just hope it all gets sorted sooner rather than later xx

cottles- that sounds promising ! Fxd ! X

reeds- pedi sounds blissful! X

 

[MissFox]

Jakes sounds like a nightmare!!!

Reeds- I could really go for a pedi too- DOn't worry about the nonshaved legs though- I've done that to them PLENTY of times. Sometimes I think it makes the massage feel better LOL

Well, we packed a 6x12ft trailer PACKED as well as the bed of our pickup AND the bed of my mom's pickup and brought it out to the cabin today. Two of the greatest ladies "the hippie ladies" showed up and brought some boxes and busted out packing for a couple hours! It was amazing and so wonderful of them! We have a mostly empty house but still probably have to fill both of our beds again and that should be all of it. My mom is coming back tomorrow for that and then Tuesday she'll be back to help me clean the house (I'm hoping to get all of it done on Monday though)

I'm really feeling a lot better about getting out of this house on time.

Now 4am and I still can't sleep

This really is doing my head in as it's been getting worse the last few weeks !
I wonder if the Docs would be able to prescribe anything to help that is safe? I
am getting desperate !

 

[CaseyBaby718]

I feel like i haven't been on here in forever!! ANOTHER baby born?!?! Fantastic! Congrats Luv!

I went to see my god parents for the day yesterday and today. It was such a relaxing and awesome time. I even got some baby stuff! yey!

They also gave me an unused recliner (mostly new!) So I don't have to get a rocker. It matches our leather couch too!

Its been a great weekend so far. Now if only my hip pain would let me sleep at night!!

 

[bernina]

Jakes, sorry for all you're dealing with, what a nightmare!! In the end though you'll look back and it will be worth it for the nice new kitchen.

Smeej, I would ask your dr if you have an appt soon if there is anything they can give. If you don't have an appt then I would phone the mw or dr and see if they can prescribe you something over the phone. You definitely want to be as rested as you can going into labor.

MissFox, so glad you had the ladies to help out, sounds like you guys all accomplished a lot today.

Had shooting pains in my lower back several times today that lasted for a good 20 or 30 minutes along with cramping and just the general feeling of very bad period pains. Found myself wishing I could take Motrin. Don't think it's the start of anything, no plug has been lost and well the pain isn't that bad, just very very uncomfortable and lots of pressure in new places.

The compression stockings seem to be working. Was on my feet a lot tonight at the basketball game (which we won!) and they feel really good. Haven't taken them off yet, just about to head up to bed now, but really happy for them not to feel tight and achey like they normally do. If these things work I will be living in them and stocking up on more pairs.

Sorry if I've missed any posts, will catch up properly tomorrow. Exhausted and heading to bed now.

 

[smeej]

Thanks bernina- I will try get an apt Monday with doc ( yes I'm still awake lol )

glad the stockings seem to be doing the trick and that you had a fun, winning night out! X

 

[MissFox]

Smeej- I know it might not work so well but I would really try some chamomile tea. With the early pregnancy insomnia it was the only thing that worked! I had chamomile with lavender and it was amazing!
Thanks Bernina! We did get a lot done and it feels so good!

 

[smeej]

Thanks miss fox - I'll try anything at this point ! X

 

[Soulshaken]

smeej I totally relate to the pregnancy insomnia... seems like a struggle to get to bed before 2 a.m. every night and then when I FINALLY get settled in, little man decides that he wants to practice rolls and stretches and then I really can't sleep!

 

[CottlestonPie]

Morning ladies! The pains and tightenings from the past 24hrs seem to have gradually stopped. Only happening now when I lie in certain positions... So I guess Toby was teasing me! Oh well...

I'm going back to bed. If the clocks hadbnt gone forward it'd only be 6:45...

 

[chocojen]

Morning!

Happy Birthday Cottleson.

Hope you are all having a good weekend? We went to a wedding reception last night and there were loads of pregnant women there but I was by far the most pregnant! I didnt dance as my feet barely fit in my shoes whenn we left for the party and I didnt want them to swell any further! It was funny watching all the drunk people!

Not sure what we are doing today, I do have lots of housework to get done and today it is cloudy so I think it is a good opportunity to do it while I dont want to be outside. OH is still in bed, he had a few beers last night so dont ex[ect him to move anytime soon!

[gertrude]

morning ladies couldn't get on here last night so missed you all!

I seem to be peeing out all the excess water which is a bit alarming! Massive wee's everytime i go! Was hoping to see feet look better this morning which they do but not as much as i hoped for!

Also feel a bit flat today not entirely sure why tbh which sucks!

 

[CottlestonPie]

Thanks Jen xx

I'm totally lost for things to do today... DF is keeping himself busy making a squirrel/bird feeder for the garden and I'm incredibly bored!
Housework it is then!

 

[CottlestonPie]

Gertrude... Do you think flatter could mean bubs has dropped some more?

I was thinking about getting some of those socks but not sure... Tenner seems a bit steep if they don't work too well. Might just try drinking bucketloads more. (My legs were v chunky before the swelling so I'm not sure they'd even fit!)

 

[loopy82]

Yay! LO is full term! Now if she'd only turn the right way round...

Happy Birthday Cottleston!

Smeej, I hope you finally got some sleep.

Glad the move is going well Miss Fox.

Haven't had too much swelling so far but glad you've found something that works Bernina.

I've still got a load of housework to do as well Jen, just glad I've still got the energy to do it, long may it last!

Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday x

 

[gertrude]

nah I mean flat as in a bit down - pickle is still as high as ever and making no effort to change this

getting quite a few shooting pains though whilst I'm sat on my sofa, not sure what that is but I can feel pickle where they always are (right up high) *sigh*

 

[JakesMummy]

Thanks girls had my stress head on last night!! I slept most of te night but Jake kept waking up and wandering into our room - such a pain as it gets squashed if he does - it's kingsize but what with bump and dean sleeping like a starfish and sounding like an asthmatic pneumatic drill, needless to say, it gets old after a while!
Thinking if finding a national trust park to walk around with Jake and play football. The perks of havinga boy (!)
