Beach Bump Graduates!

[Hann12]

I tell you what I'd better not go into labour after the wedding we are going to! I'll only be 37.5 weeks and I won't have packed my bag yet I doubt lol!! I'm almost 100% sure I will be past my dd so I'm not worried. I'm actually aiming for 14th may (due date is 9th), going to have a sweep on 13th - last time I went into labour the day after the sweep so that's my plan!!

Caz - hope tonight is relaxing! So good that Neel is taking his mum out and you don't have to be a part of it! Rubbish tv tonight though unfortunately

Maria - hope M came came home and you are having a nice day!

I did my 40 min workout DVD this morning followed by a 25 minute cycle! His are a tad achy now but I feel healthier!
Off to homebase this afternoon, fun!

 

[caz_hills]

Blimey Han - very active! Ajay is napping but I planned to do some exercse but can't be bothered, too tired! x

 

[Hann12]

It's actually making me feel more awake if I exercise. I wouldn't be bothered if I hadn't done it first thing though!!

 

[caz_hills]

I know, I'm the same - if I do it first thing I feel great but I think I've missed today's window

 

[melissasbump]

Hann, wow impressed with your exercise! I can barely make it upstairs!

Caz lovely to get an evening to yourself, enjoy!

Simmy, hope you and Paul are having a nice day!

Maria, likewise hope you got to go out!

AFM, Guests have just gone and it wasnt bad at all, actually quite enjoyable.
My back is killing me now though. H slept for 2 1/2 hours this afternoon too which was immense for him! Will probably end up going to bed later now though as a result.

Been waiting all day for an update from my April bump buddy, we buddied up because we are both having sections, although she is waiting to have one imminently due to all sorts of issues she is nearly 37 weeks now though, but they are holding out as her hospital doesnt have any SCBU beds available. Well just had her update and she in a right state apparently, in hospital on morphine as shes in so much pain. poor girl bless her!

 

[Hann12]

You're a tad further on than me though Mel lol!
That's exciting but also scary for your friend - hopefully they'll find her a space soon. I have to say that's a real worry for me that I could turn up and they have no rooms for me! I remember being in the assessment area and a woman had been waiting in the waiting room in labour for 2 hours and by the time they saw her she was fully dilated and pushing!!

 

[LittleSpy]

Oh no, poor girl! She's had such rough time! Makes all my whining about having a head/chest cold seem so stupid.

 

[LittleSpy]

Hann -- you are putting me to shame, too. I had planned on cycling (stationary) all through this pregnancy and as soon as I started bleeding at 9 weeks, I stopped! I even stopped taking the stairs at work this week with being sick. It's only 2 flights! Such a blob. Thankfully (um, or not), being sick has helped me lose a pound this week since I've seen no point in eating junk food I can't taste.

 

[caz_hills]

Ah Julie you're not a blob! I am sure you look lovely!

Ajay went to bed at 7.15 so I'm hoping he will sleep through and give me a good nights sleep. Neel is out with my Mum, Dad and sister for Mothers Day. I don't think he's got me anything which in some ways is quite funny but a little sad in another way. But he is making me some lovely food tomorrow so that should be nice. I'm in my PJ's, watching 'the big reunion' on catch-up already - it's only half eight! x

 

[Hann12]

Julie I only started exercising in the past 2 weeks because I feel huge, I figured its not too late. I bet you look great anyway!

Caz - hope you have a nice night, I've spent mine updating Annabelles photo website with the past 3 months of photos!

Went shopping this afternoon and got this gorgeous dress for Annabelle for gregs brothers wedding - the website doesn't do it justice but you get the idea:

If the link works!

 

[Hann12]

Happy Mother's Day girls! Hope you are all having a nice morning (ours was an early start!)
Did anyone get anything nice?
I got a bunch of flowers (Lily's which apparently Annabelle chose which is sweet but they are my MILs favourite flowers not mine!) and slightly irked because he sent her roses and Lily's so while mine were probably £6 he spent £25 on her. I know I should just be grateful but I am a bit annoyed
Am I being stupid?!

 

[Blue_bear]

6am start here, don't feel too bad though as went to bed at 8.15 lol.

Hann, i think i would be annoyed too actually.

I got a card and a mug. However, both say mum not mummy....

Ive got to go and find some flowers for my mum this morning. Left it a bit late! Dad said not to worry but i feel like i should. Its his bday on Tuesday too and i have no idea what to get him!

 

[Hann12]

Okay i blame pregnancy hormones but I couldn't hold it in! I just cried and cried and he said he thought he had done well and that he was also getting me a mirror for the toilet which I pointed out was a house item that we were getting anyway so not a special present. I'm so upset because this is the 3rd year I've been left disappointed, two years ago i didn't get a mummy to be card, last year I just got a card (while he got his mum a framed photo of Annabelle), both years I've been in years saying that I'd just like him to put some thought into it and it doesn't need to be expensive so I kind of thought this year he might have done more but he didn't even get Annabelle to draw in the card and I just got a bunch of his mums favourite flowers. I can't stop crying so I've left the house to go for a walk. To be honest I don't feel like walking either but I couldn't stay in the house. Maybe I'm being ungrateful as I'm sure there are some people waking up to nothing but I can't help it. Just so disappointed and feel like its another year let down

 

[melissasbump]

oh Hann, so sorry you are upset, but i can understand why! Greg needs a kick up the backside sometimes for just being so damn thoughtless! A mirror for the toilet? WTF? Seriously i wish i could shout at him sometimes for you!!
i hope you are feeling a bit better now anyway.

Georgie, glad your night went ok, love the fb pic of Josh just out of the bath!

So my day has got off to a rather nice start, a lay in then lovely flowers, yankee candle, a little teddy, a lovely card and a yummy breakfast of croissants, american pancakes, maple syrup and crispy baacon. Alan has also bought some lovely fresh seabass to cook for tea, a real treat!

 

[caz_hills]

Glad try slept ok Georgie. And I'm sure your mum wot mind if the flowers are late

Han I'm so sorry Greg has upset you again hugs. It is a bit insensitive of him to get you his mums fave flowers. And he could have made an effort with the card too..... You know that I'm with you on the mil worries and nightmares. Maybe just ask him for today to be all about the three of you and start the day again and hopefully he can make it up to you?

I don't know why but I'm not bothered that Neel has done quite little. Well he thinks he has done loads as he is cooking me lots of food but I've told him that I'd rather hit be together the three of us than have him cooking for hours on end but its sweet. Ajay made a card at nursery which is lovely but Neel didn't get me one extra. I've got no present either. But for some reason I'm not bothered.... Don't know why?! And I got up with Ajay!!!!! But he did yesterday.

 

[caz_hills]

Mel I am so jealous of your lovely brunch - I saw the photo onfacebook! Save some for me x

 

[Hann12]

Thank you for your lovely messages, I'm sure some of it was pregnsncy hormones and some just that feeling if hurt that he didn't do more. Ended up having it out anyway he understands. I think he genuinely was proud if himself for the card and flowers, but he sees why I thought he might do something more special. We've agreed to drop it now and forget it. It definitely makes me sad still because its yet another day ruined and I hate that I always end up in tears on Mother's Day but I know there's nothing I can do except accept the fact that its happened and wait another year and see if its any better. I know it's silly as its only a day but I do think its important to make a bit of a fuss of ea h other on mothers/fathers day because we both do so much for the family in different ways and I think that should be acknowledged.
We have friends coming over at 2pm so I just have to forget about it now. Hopefully seeing them will take my mind off it all.
Sorry for the downer posts

 

[caz_hills]

Ah Han - just came on to see if you had updated as I was worried about you. Glad you've sorted it and hopefully your friends coming over will help you feel happier today. Hopefully next year he will go all out and really spoil you!

[Hann12]

Thanks caz, I couldn't do much else but forget about it although just on Skype to mil and she showed me her flowers that Greg sent her - a big bunch of yellow and pink roses (yellow roses being MY favourite) so I am annoyed again but just having to swallow it as I said I would drop it earlier.
It was nice to see my friends though at least

Hope everyone else has had a nice day

 

[Doodlepants]

I would be upset too Hann- I don't think it's a hormonal thing- hopefully he's got the message and next Mother's day will be better

Mel that breakfast sounds yummy!!!

Did you get the flowers Georgie? I'm sure your Mum won't mind if you didn't.

That's sweet that you got a card from Ajay Caz. I think men act differently on Mother's day- some like to do a lot (Martyn to making up for working 'till one by doing the dishwasher and putting the laundry on) and I think others buy things (and if you're super lucky they do both I think!), it sounds like Neel is trying to treat you with the cooking which is sweet.

We popped over to my Parents' today which was nice- quiet, but nice. Although my Dad is a real feeder so I'm now stuffed and feel like fasting for the next week! I'm hoping that drinking lots of water will flush it all out quickly as I had quite a bit of chocolate today so I'm hoping I won't pay for it with a stomach ache later!
