Welcome Green!

Mum2b hope the $ comes through soon!

Hollywood I know what you mean and I've got my pedi booked for Friday night at 7pm so my toes will look good whilst on holiday. I can't reach mine any longer either

Lollip0p I had my glucose test yesterday and it wasn't bad at all but I'm in the states and they only took 2 vials of blood.

Nice outfit mumma!

Lovely name LilFooshfoosh!

afm had my glucose test yesterday and it wasn't bad at all I was even allowed a water chaser. I have only gained 10lbs with this pregnancy and hadn't gained any weight since my last visit but showed significant growth. Dr also said I am to get another u/s prior to EDD to see just how big the baby is getting as I'm measuring about 1 1/2 weeks bigger but no need to worry he says so I'm not.

I have 2 days until Holiday with my family in Wyoming!!!

Yey MrsP for not having to go back untill 36 weeks and getting a 4d pic of beans face

Im really really craving a mcdonalds for tea, really fancy dipping fries into mcflurry might have to send OH out for one!

 

[Kelly9]

Lliena, I love macdonalds fries dipped in their vanilla soft serve! yum!

I just read like 5 pages so can't remember pretty much anything.

4 names are fine.

Boo for your hip grant mess up mum, still wish we got something like that in canada, I guess good mat leave is worth not having it.

 

[moggymay]

how long do you get in Canada?

 

[Kelly9]

we get a full year of mat leave, most employers will cover your full pay I believe for the first 6 weeks till you get your first government mat leave check, so then you claim that for the remainder of your year but it's a percentage of your salary up to a maximum but some employers do top up, so when my hubby takes parental leave he'll get a cheque from the gov then a top up from work and pay less taxes due to his parental status so he ends up making a bit more then if he stayed working! I'll see if I can find a good site the explains it.

 

[Kelly9]

Ok so maternity pays benefits for the first 15 weeks of mat leave then once that ends parental leave pays benefits for the remaining 35 weeks, mat leave/parental leave only covers 55% of your income up to $457 a week so something like 43000 a year. We also have universal child tax benefit which gives every family regardless of income 100 bucks a month for each kid up till age 6 to help with childcare costs. There is also canada child tax benefit which is a monthly payout till the child or children are 18 and it assigned based on income. So we do have some services that help for sure.

How are we all x

 

[Kelly9]

mumma you might have missed the time limit for one day delivery. A lot of companies will do it but if you order after a certain time on the day it doesn't go through till the following day.

Moggy canada is pretty great. Where are you from?

 

[mordino]

Hey Ladies!

Hope you are doing well!

Had my 28 week growth scan this morning and everything is looking great with the baby but was told it is a big baby. 3lbs 2oz! I am 29 weeks today. I found out the results of my glucose test and I don't have gestational diabetes. I was relieved after my scan!

Now, I can relax a bit and start thinking of names!

 

[Melissa_M]

I had my scan today too and baby is measuring about 2lbs 11oz, so you beat me!!!

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

apparently the computer system cannot tell the difference between 4's and 5's... even so I am still fuming, I managed to track down the MW this morning and get another form... but that is not the point

Glad everyone is doing well

 

[holywoodmum]
