[JFG]

Thanks merristems you're right I should relax as much as possible now while I can and baby will come when good and ready! May treat myself to a pampering treat this week like a massage or something x

 

[BeautifulD]

Oh my god!!! Fj!!! We litterally swapped due dates, I had archie on hers and she's going to have her sweet rainbow on archies how bizzare! Xx

 

[A1983]

Yeah it will be soon JFG-FJ was saying just the same this week with regards to stopping and starting and look at her now But I know, every day you want it to be 'the' day!! *hugs* x

 

[merristems]

impatient!
Just did a momoth trek around shops! Totally frazzled now! I got a changing mat and cute cotton Blanket on sale in boots and a nighty for me! Exciting! Got some muslins too theyre lovely and soft im feeling fairly together now phew!
How are you all ladies any more rumblings??!

 

[A1983]

Ohhh I love a baby shop merri! Any excuse I have EVERYTHING...but still had to get some Milton steriliser from sainsburys today as it's baby related ;-)

No signs of baby coming my end. .been swimming today (...more floating around with oh!), food shop then more cleaning/nesting!

 

[merristems]

Teehee, i know i kept looking at teething rings and thinking i must get some of those! Yeah right like in 4 months time!! Aww swimmining is sooo nice isnt it i try and go weekly if i can!

 

[A1983]

Yeah it is lovely-takes the weight off too! See ive bought a raspberry teether dummy from amazon-it looks really good-pop it in freezer and its a sensory dummy too...do I need it yet-of course not! I also bought a 3:1 breast pad by lansiloh-pop it in freezer for pain and engorgement and microwave for flow...oh and a little love pillow for when he's on his play mat! Car seat in car ready and everything washed and ironed! I could go on ha ha! I have been on maternity leave for 7 weeks now though ;-)

 

[merristems]

Oh tell me about it! I have washed all baby stuff twice now!! Its all folded tidy but every now and then i take it all out and look at how cute it all is! in some ways being on maternity is great in others i waste so much time thinking about doing things and not actually doing them! This week is a right off due to heat. Tomorrow is a day of searching for cheaper car insurance booo!

 

[A1983]

Ohh I went onto 'compare the market' as my usual low car insurance shot up due to the pesky men!! I'm with Allianz now, was with Tesco where the renewal quote was almost £500 more than Allianz!

Tomorrow im interview prepping-I absolutely hate interviews and my mind goes blank so im going to do lots of notes so I can prompt myself, hopefully, and give me more confidence! Give me a pen and paper and im absolutely fine! Anyway job not needed til next spring but that time will come and the NHS can be tricky if they already have ppl lined up-so may need to apply for a few and in advance so I have time on my side. Anyway im rabbiting-my insecurities re interviews coming out!! I'm also having a panic about birth tonight-im thinking about HOW this baby is going to go from my tum to my arms....arrgghhh!!

 

[merristems]

Good tip i will try them cheers xx
Youre keen arent you? Do you have a job interview lined up or are you just being super keen? I hate interviews i am rubbish at bigging myself up i hate having all the focuss directly on me!
Try not to worry about the birth hun that baby wiill come out one way or another, we just have to surrender ourselves to it and accept it as it comes.

Traumatic birth story to follow!

xxx

 

[mackjess]

Oh yay for getting to meet your little GIRL! and boo that it was a traumatic birth. I am sure you and baby are recovering wonderfully now though, rest up dear!

 

[monro84]

Congrats FJ sorry about the trama though.

I had my stitch out Mon and it was painful but got through it had increased BH mon evening but nothing yesterday. Today I woke up and felt like he dropped he is still hanging all out on my right side lol but he feels lower and my hip is hurting more now. I have had bouts of nausa on and off sometimes even when I am eating I have to quit. I almost got sick last night when we were out with some of Dh's clients eating but I held it. I had been feeling more hungry but right now fighting nausa again ugh. I have been cramping all day some worse then others I don't think they are contractions however I have had a sore back. Sleeping is becoming more painful and I had a tiny bit of mucusy discharge this morning however we dtd last night but I don't think it was leftovers b/c I got up to pee about 5 times last night. I have a feeling he will be here by the end of next week but I also thought that he would be here before the stitch came out . He is poking alot more now not realy kicking but poking his foot out my left side.

 

[Dollybird]

Woohoo congrats fj!! look forward to hearing all about it! Although I'm sorry it was traumatic!
No rumblings my end ladies although I've been nesting like a maniac all day - I swear u could eat your dinner off any surface in my house including the bins they're that clean! Lol. Think I've overdone thins though my back is agony dafty that I am.. But I just couldn't not clean!! If u know wat I mean?
Had a traipse round mothercare myself this evening too. I don't need anything just can't help myself!
Got myself booked in for some "induction reflexology" next Tuesday so if bubs not here by then, then I'm hoping it helps push things on! I'm so sore and miserable! I wanna meet my wee boy!
Hope eveyone else is doing well! Xxx
