Hi all,

Jodie, bless your OH. At least team is still the team to be on

And everyone else it looks like nesting has kicked in for a few of us. My flat is looking pristine. Although it's only because I'm bored stupid. I've just finished my 3rd week of annual leave before my maternity kicks in and I've never cleaned/hoovered/bleached/black bagged/washed up/filled my wheely bin so much. Poor Ali Cat doesn't know what's hit her. Everytime she settles down for one of her 30 naps a day I move her to hoover or dust.

It can only be a good thing though. Being this upright must be sending bambino down into position.

its that nesting getting us now im supposed to be having a lazy day, already had the bleach out and got the washer on 4/5 is nothing really but i know he has and can be lower!...i get like scratching sharp pains at my cervix area...whats that about? dont remember that! how are you today? xx

Haha, I've just been scrubbing the whole kitchen. DH thinks I've lost it as I'm running about like a mad woman I've also got the girls in the garden now doing some digging ready to plant some flowers. They love it!

I've been having a few of those scratching pains too. I think it's the baby's head sinking lower maybe???!

Hope you have a nice day Stef

Get well soon tjw... Only 12 days to go now

im startng to get really scared about giving birth

 

[CharlieKeys]

Mothercabbage - yay for him moving head down!! And don't you just hate the fact they can move in and out! I'd rather them just be one or the other

Proudmummy - well can I have my energy back please I've literally just been in bed all day watching TV and playing with Stephen! Plus I still want to clean as this place seems to get filthy OVERNIGHT - but he won't even let me leave the room - not even to get him a bottle or to get a drink or to pee Starting to get on my nerves today

tjw - ahh not nice It's gotta be hard having to look after Ruby too! Just keep drinking that cranberry juice (even if it's topped up with soda water or lemonade) it does work even if you hate the taste lol

Moomin - ahh I know! Can't believe I have less than two weeks! Scaaaaaaarry!!! Is everyone pretty much ready now??

I just realised this morning that as much as I'm wishing he'd just come now that this could actually be our last - we've always said we'll have a third but that depends on where we're living, money, our two boys etc and to think this could be my last pregnancy really got to me last night And i felt guilty for not enjoying the last few weeks.... but then still having said that I would like him to say hello now!

What's everyone been up to today?

 

[mothercabbage]

this is also my last pregnancy,despite what OH says!...so im trying to enjoy it but im wishing the weeks away! xx

Does baking count as nesting? I'm making brownies for breakfast

 

[eandc123]

I wish I could make brownies. I make amazing cakes and a mean apple crumble But I can't seem to grasp brownies or flapjacks unless its from a packet

 

[CharlieKeys]

Send some brownies this way pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase

 

[tjw]

This is my last pregnancy too, I've asked to be sterilised when they do the section. I'm happy with two, plus my step daughter. Grae agrees that three children is enough for us too. We're really lucky as were told in late November that pcos had rendered me infertile, and yet 3rd December we found out our Harrison was on the way! lol.

Me too lol

 

[AuntBug]

I don't know if you ladies have Ghiradelli cocoa powder across the pond, but I use the recipe on the can, and they're great every time! Easy peasy too, only takes about 30 minutes. I had 2 for breakfast

 

[moomin_troll]

i wanted to make a cheesecake today but never got round to it, and i eat all that myself lol

i no this is my last baby, so if i could get sterilised i would, even tho nhs wont do it because of my age

Amy Winehouse died today... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowb...y-Winehouse-dead--Found-dead-London-flat.html

As with all talented people, she was plagued with darkness and her own demons. Really hope she's at peace now.

 

[moomin_troll]

i think im the only person who doesnt care :/ u play with fire ur going to get burnt.
total waste of life and she did it to herself. i just feel sorry for her parents

 

[krockwell]

Not the only person...

 

[Stef]

I cant say I was surprised to hear that winehouse is dead to be honest, nor do i care much, feel sorry for her family but I agree it was all brought on by herself.

Im shattered today. Had a lovely lunch with my friend then went into town with the hubby and I dont know what came over me but I allowed hubby to buy a new xbox 360 with kinect and various other bits. His old xbox was giving up and came up with open tray error the majority of the time. So tonight I will no doubt be a xbox window.

This baby will be my last baby too. To say it was all planned i find myself in state of panic some days that very soon I will have two children. Seems a scary thought some days.

well tomorrow I am going to pack my hospital bag, at last and then write a list of what I still need for my bag etc.

Xx

 

[CharlieKeys]

I heard about it too... you can't miss it with hundreds of FB statuses going on about 'is amy winehouse dead' and 'wino has died' etc! She did bring it on herself and that's what happens if you mess with drink and drugs - even if she hadn't taken anything, it was probably still related to that, maybe her heart just couldn't stand it anymore. I feel sorry for her family! 27 is so young!

Ooh Stef - you've been spoiling your OH! Hope he realises how lucky he is

oooh moomin - now you've got me wanting a chocolate cheesecake!!!!

 

[moomin_troll]
