[carolyn_s]

thanks hun, haha tell me about it - i think she (and gillian my birthing partner) are as excited as me hehe xx

 

[Lliena]

omg good luck carolyn Looks like Abby going to her grandmas could be a blessing!

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

Got my bits all crossed for you Carolyn! Food and rest are a great idea! I hope things progress quickly and aren't dragged out.

 

[philly1982]

Keep us posted carolyn, hope all goes well for you!

Eoz that cake looks lush.......


Wow, i'm pooped! Had an appointment at hospital for 9.45 didn't leave till 2.30pm! I mentioned that i hadn't felt bub move that much this morning so i was packed off to be put on the trace machine. Was waiting for an hour to be seen then was on for over an hour as they wasn't to keen on his hb. After a while bub got hickcups!!! lol.
Had a scan as well and bub looks fine but the amnio fluid has increased again. My mw thinks that they may induce me at 36 weeks as i'm starting to struggle.

Then we went to fetch the pram today and hadn't ordered the colour we wanted! So came away with only the pram and car seat! I'm hoping they can get it in for next week but they cannot promise anything. I nearly ripped their heads off in the shop as they kept trying to palm a different colour off to us! gits!!!

Just going to have a little snooze before we go to cinema, dreaming of my pic n mix already!

[Kelly9]

Wow lots going on!

Carolyn good luck.
Eoz thats mean posting something like that on here and I can't have anything with that much sugar! lol. Looks so good!
Melissa I think you sent AB your heat wave! Its over 30 degrees here! On the plus side we have a severe thunderstorm watch which would be great at clearing up some of the heat! I'm going swimming tonight!

 

[Baby France]

Hi everyone!

God lots has been going on!

Lliena your photos are great!

eoz That cake looks fantastic and yummy....my mouths watering (if only I could cook!)

Mercy Hope you're feeling better, hormones are such a cow. I've been especially hormonal this time round! Even broke Kev's Xbox in the beginning because he wasn't helping me around the house...he was washing up at the time?!?! Thats when we knew I was pregnant LOL!

Carolyn How exciting! I hope you are ok and coping well!!

Flutterbaby Wishing your mum gets better soon and fingers crossed bubs listens and waits till shes better!

Some lovely things that people have bought too, I can't wait for my changing bag to come!

AFM glossed the kitchen today and gutted the bathroom! Shattered now though and am off to bed! Another busy day tomorrow with about 6 visits and visitors to get through, if I have them all now I can relax in the next couple of weeks (I hope).

Oh and my sister had her dating scan today, everything seems ok and she's been told she's due on the same day she had her little boy this year?!?! How uncanny is that!

Hope everyone and bumps are ok!

Night, Lou x

 

[MrsP]

I think it is only by chance! Once was before he got in the bath he did a mini pee, then stood up walked off and while I was singing and dancing like a loon that he'd done a pee pee in his potty - he did both on the floor in front of me!

The second time, he was having naked bum time and he sat on it and just weed. He was watching tv at the time and think it was the fact he was sat on it when it came. He does fill his nappy by crouching though IYKWIM? It has been more like luck but was just wondering when people made the decision to start on the potty? We took him off his dummy about 3 weeks ago, we thought it'd be harder to do when the baby comes so?

Lou x

The book we have suggests that your toddler needs to be able to dress and undress themselves, follow simple instructions, and be able to tell you when they need to wee and poo... Charlotte is there on the first two, nowhere near on the third... We're going to wait, don't want to try and fail iykwim!!

Wouldn't it be 7 babies born in 6 pregnancies? But wow congrats to ladymama and hope! I guess the august crew is starting to make it's appearance!

Hugs to everyone who needs it!

I on the other hand had a great day! Did my first maternity ward shift and got to bath one new born and cuddle and feed another, made me all teary eyed and really wanting my baby in my arms now. Even though I got home after horrendous traffic and a ridiculously hot car to find I had nice swollen legs (first time for that) I was still happy cause i still smell like milk and babies!

Mrs P there will be photo evidence! I think I will work on it mon or tue coming (my next days off)

Sounds great - and good practice!!

Well DH away for this stag do, C and I alone for the weekend, I'm a little dubious, I know I'm going to be shattered by the time she's in bed - early nights for me I think!!

Sure you'll be ok hon, is mum on hand if you need a rest or a hand?

Morning ladies, Im ok had no more leaking and bubs is moving around ok so I think everythings fine. Got some pics back from Mumma they are fab:

Well as we are doing bump pics here are mine x

Im back

Ive been given a maternity band - sexy. I have to go back on monday and see a specific dr regarding a sweep/induction...but the midwife said considering i was in obvious pain and have abby to think about too (and im measuring a week ahead) that she thinks the dr will def consider an induction!! scary... tadpole could be here next week!!!!

Anyway, still sitting here in agony so Abbys Granny is on her way to come and get her for a night or 2. Dont want her to go but its not fair that i cant play with her and i cant lift her or anything atm. If i get too sore over the weekend i have to phone them and they will organise stronger painkillers.... never a dull moment... x

Well least they have a plan of action for you and sounds like they are listening which is good. Hope you had a comfortable night x

Hi all.

WELL.... I had a FULL BLOWN, emotional meltdown last night! Hubby was on Duty in the Barracks last night, which involves keeping a check on the guys drinking in the bar! he usually pops in for a few mins at a time then checks back in the house with me!
But last night a few of his mates were in there so he stopped for a cuppa
(he isnt allowed to drink on duty) and spent an hour at a time down there!

This would never normally bother me! but last night he left his phone at home! and I (in my hormonal irrational state) decided taht this was CLEARLY the most selfish thing in the entire world and when he walked back in i went mad at him! Seriously the bar is like 2-3 mins walk from our house so even if anything had of happened to me its not far to send someone to get him lol!


But that was it! once I started crying I couldnt stop! i got myself in a right state about everything that has bothered me in the last few months! it all just came pouring out! THEN i cried about the pains I am gettting, THEN i cried about bump dropping THEN I went on and on! POOR mat just sat there not knowng what to do with me!

After about an hour I calmed down, and decided I had in fact been an orrational Twit and said Sorry to mat! lol. the poor man has been on eggshells since! but who can blame him! haha! I think I needed it tho! i feel better about everything today!

Baby isnt moving as much these days, and I am harrassing the poor thing with freezing drinks and ordding bits of it to make him or her wriggle haha!
Just gotten back from a lovely mums and tots session and one of the girls brought in an IMMENSE home made choc fudge cake! JUST what the doctor ordered

I'm going for a few drinks (soft drinks of course) with my girls tonight while Mat stays at home! I think It'll do great for cheering me up!

Hope we're all well x x Nik x x

Oh we all need to do it sometimes. I think it is good for them to cop it and then they get the full gist of frustration rather than them thinking we are feeling sorry for them selves.

Sounds like you had a lovely evening last night and just what you needed

Good luck hunny.

Hey girls look what I just made mmm mmmmm

Malteser cheesecake

See, I told you you were the cake master!

Wow, 5 babies born! Congrats to all the August mummies and sending to you all.

Could you put me down as a pink bump please?

Whats your due date and I'll add you to the list x

Keep us posted carolyn, hope all goes well for you!

Glad everything is ok with baby. When will they confirm if they will induce you?

to the pram, how annoying you should release some hormone on them

AFM - Busy day yesterday, doing a few jobs. Gardening, washing, sorting normal crap. Painter finished so now more decorating for the Piggott's for a while. Nursery is painted so just need to sort that and house everything, hope to do that today and shall of course provide some pics later.

Busy day today, off to see if we cant find some new carpet and arrange that to be fitted and need a few finishing touches for my newly painted bedroom, just a couple of pics and bedside lamps.

Then home to get remainder of baby things down from the loft, including my double pram which I need to wash but aside of that work out how the bloody thing works so I know what I am doing.

Work Si to the bone and then have a BBQ for tea and chill in the garden for whatever time we get left in the day.

Then tomorrow, finish off what ever we dont get done today x

 

[Kelly9]

Mrsp You'll the thrilled to know I officially started my hospital bag... well baby's portion of it anyway, got 10 diapers packed 3 sleepers in different sizes, some mitts and a tuque and some breast pads for myself. Thats it, but it's a start! Will still post photo evidence once it is done.

37 Weeks for me! Full term!!!!!!!! Still don't think I'll be in labour for a couple more weeks.

Woop Woop for full term hunny x x and YEY for packing the hospital bag!

Mrs P sounds like a busy day ahead for you!!! Hope its a lovely one x x


AFM,
Well. I went for drinks with the girls last night, We have a couple of bars within the barracks so we just stayed inside the camp. We had such a fab night! Lots of alcohol consumed on their parts ( including my share) , and They were making me do shots of orange juice instead hahaha!

I managed to last all night, and strolled in at about 2am lol!
they all went on to one of the girls houses for more drinking but I think I was at my sleep deprived limit hahaha! JUST what I needed none the less!

When I went to bed last night I have stabbing pain at the top of my bump that was radiating downwards every 5-6 mins or so! started to get a bit concerned, as My bump was going like a rock!! But after about an hour i managed to get comfy enough to fall asleep! woke up maybe 3-4 times later in the night with the same! but its come to nothin, so i guess its those good old BH's again testing me haha!

Still in my PJ's now curled up with a nice cuppa tea! and contemplating making poached egg on toast for brekkie! Yum yum!

Have a lovely morning everyone x

[philly1982]

Morning gang.

MrsP they have till monday to find me one, if not Mart is going up to sort them out. At least he put the pram up yesterday, it looks so cute! Just really want bub in there now!

As for being induced i will hopefully get my date a week wednesday. Gona sit down with the allthe docs and mw's and see what plan we can come up with. Although is it normal to suddenly become nervous???

hwm, good luck with the car hunt. We are going to look at one later today. I doubt if it will come to anything as they are asking abit too much for it. we'll see though.

Was late coming back from Twilight last night. Great film. Mart treated me to the posh seats so i was surrounded by my sweeties, nachos, Celebrations and muffins! (you get those 3 free). Didn't get back in till 12.30! Dirty stop out! lol

Stopped in bed till 10am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woke up at 9 but couldn't be arsed to roll out so i just lay there watching the birds....

Just doing some washing then it's off to Argos for a loo roll holder! Yay!!!! I'm living the dream folks! lol

Enjoy your saturday all

xxx

 

[Jetters]

Philly don't know how you managed a late showing! I watched it yesterday at 430 and was shattered after when we got home

 

[mummaofthree]
