Put our cot up today in our bedroom ... It's starting to deal more real now if that makes any sense x

 

[x_Rainbow_x]

It's so exciting isn't it. We got Moses basket out n washed it yesterday n all his clothes. Seems weird looking at it and to think we're gunna have a baby in there soon

:-D
Xxx

Well I've been on this strict diet for 2 weeks now, and so far my numbers are sitting pretty good really, so I'm hoping things don't change up too much as the hormones change!!

We get possession of our new house on Thursday!! So excited! We're moving in on Sunday, then I have midwife tues, scan and obstetrician on wed, then diabetes clinic on Fri. Whew!

Monster was 9lb10oz. I'm not worried about a big baby for my sake, more that if this baby looks big in scans then the ob will probably pout pressure on to induce or something purelyncos the GD, which I won't stand for. But I am not looking forward to the strength it'll take to stand up for myself either, so hoping this bub is smaller, and earlier than Monster was!!!

I'm sorting out baby's clothes today! I keep buying him stuff and forgetting what I have brought so I really need to see what I have got x

I am sorting baby stuff today too! Well this is going to sound kind of funny but we moved our bed into the living room/dining room area. It actually looks pretty cute But it feels silly to have a 2 bedroom apartment and our bedroom is the (carpeted) dining room. The reason being that the two bedrooms have windows facing a really busy street and it is SO loud when you open the windows, and also people smoke cigarettes out on that street 24/7. So I am not sure what we are going to do with the 2 extra rooms but I will figure something out. Maybe a crafting room
I feel like I don't have enough baby stuff but I don't know what else I need??? Does anyone else feel like that?

Also I ordered my duffle bag for my hospital bag, and I have started packing LO's diaper bag. I want to start washing baby clothes/blankets next weekend

Sounds like you have a busy week! Well at least that will make time go by faster and you will be closer to meeting your LO
I do not want to be induced either! I will push not to be

Can I ask a personal question? Has anyone's d/c changed?

Spoiler

a few days ago my bump became extremely heavy n I noticed my doc changed, not only did it get heavier it became snot like, mix of creamy n clear. There's no itching or odor, nothing.

I spoilered as some May choose not to read my problem lol

You are talking about discharge right? Yes mine changed, and I started getting a lot more. Sometimes I run to bathroom because I worry my water broke lol It was like once I hit my third trimester (maybe a few weeks into it) it changed thicker and creamier and I started getting a lot more. Hope this helps! I think it's normal!

 

[WanaBaba]

Sorry I can't remember how to do a spoiler but just wanted to say that mine has changed too, there's so much of it!

 

[Buttons_01]

Same here! .. Also no itch or odour. Must just be something that happens .. Hormones! Haha

 

[ChristiansMum]

One week till my driving test and nerves have kicked in! I really NEED to pass. I'm sorry I keep mentioning it but only my DH, my driving instructor and you lovely ladies know I have it. I keep trying to tell myself to not think about it but I can't get it out my head!!x

 

[x_Rainbow_x]

Had my growth scan today.... Omg I'm terrified lol! He's 4lb3 ATM... They think hel be around 8lb. Far cry from my diddly 6lb3 lol. But he's healthy happy, and gorgeous lol.

 

[LoveCakes]

That's great Tracie, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Good luck Christian's Mum with your driving test!

I realised I only have 7 1/2 weeks of work left eeeeek. There are only 3 in my dept and one of the others is retiring this year. They're not covering my maternity so I'm trying to sort as much stuff as possible before I go. Plus the one remaining guy is on holiday for 2 weeks before I finish. Poor thing, he will be very busy! I work for the NHS so the chances of them replacing the retiree before I come back next year are slim. I feel a bit bad though I wouldn't change it for the world.

I feel ya on the work thing. I am telling myself NOT to stress about it because it's not my job to worry about it, it's my boss's! I am the head teacher in the toddler classroom and there isn't really anyone to fill my position yet... And I am going on my maternity leave when everyone goes on their vacations lol. Ahhh Ohhh well! We will be off of work with our LO's and loving it

 

[addy1]

I have about 3 weeks left, as our school year is ending at the end of the month. I am looking so forward to spending the last few weeks of this pregnancy at home. I am exhausted by the end of the day, and feel I do not have much energy for my own kids. Looking forward to some quality time with my girls!!

Hope everyone is feeling well!!

 

[clynn11]

Tracie- it sounds like we're in the same boat!!! Lol. My midwife is estimating Zuri to be about 4lb10oz right now!! Said she wouldn't be surprised if she was 8 1/2 to 9 lbs!! AHHHH.

 

[WanaBaba]

Had the sweetest little dream last night that my baby girl was born naturally before my scheduled section and I was breast feeding her and her little face was just perfect! Woke up feeling all emotional and excited! (Although a bit scared about the part where she comes early!)

I just can not wait to meet her! These weeks are flying by but yet it still feels like time is going too slow, if that makes sense?!

ETA.. so crazy to think I joined this thread when I was around 4 weeks pregnant and now I only have 6.5 weeks left until I meet my baby! It's amazing how far we've all came ladies. I'm starting to feel emotional now..damn hormones haha x

Tell me your as scared as me!! I'm pooping my pants lol

 

[Klara0412]

Hi everyone, long time no speak! I am glad to hear everyone is doing well

tracy and clynn, I am also measuring ahead (2 weeks, 99th percentile, eek) and the doctors have told me to prepare for a big baby! Unfortunately for me we are registered at a midwife run birthing centre with no pain relief (except homeopathy and positive thinking), eek!

I am also a teacher and snowed under. I am handing over to the next teacher at the moment and trying to grt my reports written. But I go on maternity leave at 34 weeks on 18th June, hooray!

We haven't got too long to go now ladies!

 

[clynn11]

Yupp i'm pretty petrified but have heard multiple stories of them estimating a big baby and the baby coming out like 7 1/2 lbs so i'm trying not to get too freaked out!! Lol!
