Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[mackjess]

dolly our dog food for our big dog is kept in the pantry in a lidded trash can to keep it fresh. yesterday I thought I'd feed the dogs on one of my pee breaks so they wouldn't wake dh up begging on father's day. his bin was almost empty, and I get dizzy easy if I bend over, so I squatted next to it and I could reach the bottom with his bowl and it worked great, but I couldn't get up. the bin was flimsy since it was empty, and I didn't want to use a shelf to pull up, envisioned being buried in soup cans, etc, afraid if I tipped backwards it'd hurt my tailbone. I had to do a duck walk out of the pantry to get to a counter and pull myself up. the fridge handle helped too. my ego was a bit hurt cause I used to do squats and dead lifts a lot in workouts, up until August and my first bfp. I thought my legs were stronger than they are! dh said I had to wake him up for help and so he could laugh at me next time that happens.

giy, amjon, bd and fj are gonna have us rolling in babies the next week or so. it's going to be a busy thread! I can't wait.

afm, no changes. baby is either breech or sideways, I don't think he's head down yet. might have my section scheduled after my scan on Friday. no other changes or signs he'll be here early. which is good, dh is gone all this week on his last business trip for awhile.

also, I'm getting hotter when I sleep. even with the air turned very cool I still have the ceiling fan and a floor fan blowing on me. last night I went to sleep with just a thin tank top on, and woke up shirtless in the middle of the night.lol. not sure what happened there.

Happy anniversary merri!!

I must admit I had a little giggle about your bath incident too dolly. Must habe been scary at the time though

Giy I hope they keep upping a knotch, its so frustrating when they do that! When I was induced with dd1 they spent a week giving me pessaries, I'd had enough so they sent me home for the afternoon. .. in the way home contractions got going so had a bath and once they were 5mins apart I went back. As soon as my foot touched those hospital grounds they stopped dead. F.R.U.S.T.R.A.T.I.N.G!!!! I had her the next day though thankfully.

Theres no way I could sit in a cinema I struggle sitting up right on my comfy sofa! Shame as dh really wants to see man of steal, he loves superman!!

Jess I hope lo turns for you, I'm also super hot at night. I never have covers on now!

 

[BeautifulD]

I swear little dude was trying to turn earlier, he was going nuts for a while and I could feel his head in my left side..... needless to say he's back to normal position now

 

[amjon]

Hi ladies! Haven't been in here in the longest time! The boys are going to be delivered on Wednesday now. Baby A still has his bottom plastered to my cervix, so unless that changes between now and Wednesday we'll be having a C-section.

 

[merristems]

my feet are super fat

 

[BeautifulD]

Awww good luck for Wednesday amjon!

Wednesday will be a busy day

[girlinyork]

My waters have gone. Off to hospital. I'm so excited/nervous

 

[BeautifulD]

Eeeeeeee you failed to mention that little nugget in your journal!!

Very exciting! Whats the plan? Xx

 

[merristems]

Reeeeeeeeee giy woop woop!

Cor thats the first time ive had swelling im hoping its partly the heat and partly because i was sat down all day and skippy was a bit squished into my lap. Feet are still alittle swollen and my little toe hurts, rings dont fit now either f***! I dont feel ill though so do i need to mention to mw? I havent had to call about anything so far!

Monro - GL at appointment! That stitch has done well!

Dolly - oh it's nice to be pampered! Mmmm Maccy's and frappe - sounds delicious! I'm sorry about the bath incident

MJ - poor you! It's rubbish feeling so helpless and not being able to do things as easily! GL at scan on Friday. Hubby says I'm like a furnace at night too.

Merri - I wanna see Man of Steel, we'll see! Happy anniversary! Hope you had a lovely time. Soz about far feet if you've got an appt then mention it to MW. If you get blurred vision or headaches then give the community MWs a ring.

A1983 - you are not big! You're beautiful - people say the stupidest stuff and should mind their own beeswax!

Amjon - GL with section! How exciting!

GIY - squeeeeeak!

AFM - been up, been down! Hormones etc! Been bouncing on my ball a lot and pottering about the house sorting out baby stuff. 38 weeks - I'm terrified of having a big baby
Got a bit of leaky boobs. Keep knicker/bowl checking for the mucus plug - I need to get a life!

 

[girlinyork]

My boobs leaked for the first time yesterday FJ

Midwives say one way or another she will be here today

 

[flapjack10]

Yay GIY! so exciting!

This isn't the first time they've leaked, but maybe I'll give them a bit of stimulation to try to get things going!

Giy good luck!! Can't wait to read your birth story!!
Merri I'm a swollen balloon also! Not worn my rings since 27 weeks and had to buy new shoes.. I have cankles! Lol. As long as bp ok and no blurred vision or pain in stomach (under ribs) then all well. Mw told me that with pre eclampsia te swelling the look for is sudden as usually in the face. But it's always worth getting your own mw to check (we've established that my mw is an idiot lol).
Aw jess poor u! U sound just like me.. Moving about whilst preggo is hard! I even have a hard time getting out the car! Haha.
Fj hope things happen for u soon!!... Happy bouncing!!
Amjon good luck with c section!
Hope everyone else doing grand?? Including those lovely new babies!
Afm.. Nothing new.. I'm shattered. So uncomfy at night it's unreal and hardly sleeping. Can't believe I've for another 5 whole weeks till my due date..
Xxx

 

[flapjack10]

I know Dolly, I've got two weeks, but it may aswell be two years. It feels so hard and far away!

[BeautifulD]

Dolly those five weeks will fly by I felt the same last week, I actually cried at the thought of three more weeks of feeling like this and another whole week before I was bavk to the hospital. To be fair, the week has flown!

An exciting day!! Im gonna have my finger on tge refresh button all day

 

[girlinyork]

I want to take the opportunity to say - I love epidurals so much

 

[merristems]
