Bonfire Babies!! **DRMGDLOOoooooo**

[mrsbeanbump]

how exciting Donna!!!! in 22w I'll have my twinies!! lol
When you were saying you booked it my first thought was your MIL, lol, and then see she's joining you but yay for not staying or travelling with you!!

chelsie, you going to get some bloods done at GP to check? Happy first day of Civilian life hope you are enjoying it so far!!

I'm just mega stressed at the minute...need to see GP again tomorrow as my fit for work note runs out tomorrow. woke at 330 this morning and could not get back to sleep, just kept thinking about work..boo!!! thing is I got a low future potential score which is making me the most mad (ok I got a 2/4 score) but before they knew I was preggo with D, I got like a 30% payrise and got put on an in house management course (which is recognition in itself to get to go as not many on my team have been) and now I have D and twinies I'm not talented anymore!! and the guy covering my friends maternity leave gets to stay in the team and I am getting made redundant!! and come to find out last week he was promoted to manage more people....grrr... (trying not to think about it!!)

so thats me, D is still at nursery 4 days a week, and at the end of this month taking him down to 3 days. starting to really feel the effects this pregnancy is going to have on me. Getting pains in my stomach just walking to the end of the road, and my tailbone hurts most of the time!!!

Right so off to try to have a nap now, I've got nothing done today and have been quite miserable today. and I have no idea what to make for tea so I can feel like I'm a good housewife when dh gets home!!

Hi girls, hope the preggos are doing well? Chelsea god luck hun and hope you enjoyed your first day of civi life How exciting Donna! Im jel, need a holiday Home birth plans I feel I have left too late, I can get a pool off a friends friend £50 delivered but the mw I booked in with today in new hospital said I had to have it ok'd from comm mw who I am not seeing until the 6th!! argh! Don't know whether to just go for the pool as apart from anaemia my preg is low risk, did something happen with anaemia with you or just your spd I cant remember?

I too am eventually feeling the effects of pregnancy and life with a toddler. I am so exhausted, she is so much hard work, a very independent, bossy, spirited child lol and also the insomnia has kicked in too so yawn! Not long to go though, doesn't seem real still xxxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Gemma - dont stand for them sayin they'll discuss it on the 6th - you could have your boy by then!!!Phone up and ask to spk to the home birth co-ordinator or whomever is in charge. Explain about your decision and state that you are having a homebirth and you'll need a home birthing kit and that you will phone them when you need midwife support... at home!!

In my area they weren't happy with Hb below 10 but also said (nod nod wink wink as long as u are aymptomatic of course and not hugely anaemic, I was 9.6) that if you phoned in labour then they would attend. I took spatone -oral liquid iron supplement - bought from Holland and Barratt, as tablets are rubbish for absorption, only a tiny percentage of the iron is utilised by the body.

I never got my home birth cos lazy bones would not shift lol -3 attempts at sweeps and nothing, in for induction 14 days late

In hindsight wish I'd waited longer and just got monitored more closely and not had the induction at all, but then they would still have refused to deliver at home if he was over 14days late.

Whatever you decide, it will work out for the best I am sure xxxx all the best xxx it is so soon now, exciting!! and exhausting

 

[GossipGirly]

Two gonna ring them in morning, me and San have chatted some more and he is on board and found a pool from a friends friend so hopefully should be fine, will update tomorrow xx

Hello ladies!

Donna that is fab news about your hol, and so nice to go back to where you were married! We are planning to go back to Vegas for my 30th, I cannot wait to re-vist our hotel!

Only 15 weeks until our holiday, by which point I will be 26 weeks pregnant, mental!! I cant remember how big I was at 26 weeks last time, must dig out some photos.

Can you girls remember how much weight you put on initially? I have gained half a stone in this trimester and I am not happy about it, but equally too shattered to ever do anything! I dont have £5+ a week to spend on an exercise class and I am not motivated enough to do anything at home!

We had our scan last night, it was SO amazing to see the baby and make me actually feel pregnant! Called my sisters on the way home and told both of them who were very excited and surprisingly said they hadn't guessed, I was convinced they had!!

Chelsie - hope things are going well for you now you're a civi, how was the move?

Liz - I really hope everything gets sorted with your work, it def sounds like they're not being fair in regards to you and D and the twinnies. Have you got any names?

Gemma - you will have to keep me updated on what it is like having two little people to look after!!

[wannabubba#4]

Nat - I gained loads of weight first tri with Dawson lol, and second and third but was baby number 4 and I was immobile for most of it. My SIL came to Rhodes for our wedding when she was 30weeks preggers, she was really fit thoughout her pregnancy and had a ball, apart from obvious bump you would never been able to know she was pregnant.

We are not able to go back to the same hotel as when we got married (too expensive for 6 ), but same area at least and we weren't married in the hotel so it will still be lovely to go back Think I will give wandering past it a miss incase I draw too many comparisons with this years lol.

[mrsbeanbump]

I'm sooo jealous Gemma!!! I wish I could have a homebirth with a pool but that was quickly crushed by the midwife/consultants!! But a doula I know has made a comment on facebook saying it is possible, but I think I just need to be in hospital and just be a pain in their backsides at hospital until they let me get in the pool... we will see!! Watching OBEM at the minute and saw the section and how they pull the baby out and I"m just like I so don't want a section....but I guess we will see when the time comes! Trying to keep an open mind!

Nat, I've put on 1 1/2 stone so far which I'm hoping is good for twins. Read in my twins book that by the 24th week of twin preggo I should gain double the weight as a singleton mother (lucky me!!) so they say between 24 and 30lbs, at 21w almost 22w I've put on 22lbs.

So, yesterday was probably the best day I've had in a really long time. I've been thinking all the things that have been happening recently are all down to fate, having twins, in the process of getting made redundant... well anyways, dh sent me an email yesterday that he can apply for a job in the states, he ticks most of the boxes and thinks he would have a good shot at getting the job. It would be from september ish this year for at least 3 years with 1 year and a bit in florida panhandle and then 2 years in california. Its a bit scary to think about moving, and with just buying a house we would have to rent it out, but really this would be the only time I could see us doing this type of thing before the kids start school... Dylan would have 2 ready made playmates to move with him and there are going to be about 12 people or families doing this so hopefully he might have a playmate that is with us for the 3+ years if dh gets chosen. I just think it is fate as only the other day dh was saying how he would enjoy driving in the states... and if I didn't have all this mess with work I might not be so eager. But the prospect of starting over for a while, and in the states where my mother can more easily visit would be fantastic, and I could start extreme couponing!!! (has anyone watched this show on realtime?? they buy like $800 worth of groceries for like $10 or something silly!!) I'm so excited at just the prospect, dh thinks I'm getting my hopes up, but I think its just what I need to think about at the moment. Wouldn't find out til about March time if he got it.

Well I need to get motivated and stop spending my time on the sofa laying down, even though I've got no sleep atm I just feel I need to be a bit productive during the day! And the babies are kicking like mad, its not the nice experience from first time around, this time I feel I'm just getting beat up!! rofl! xx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Good Luck for you and your hubby Liz -that sounds perfect for you guys, really hope it all works out for you. When will you find out? Hopefully soon, so you can plan and get organised for the move.

Gemma - hows u hun? that boy still keeping you awake at night? The new pics of you all on fbook are gorgeous -you look so well being pregnant, you have the perfect pregnancy bump and Libby is so adorable. She is so big for her age, isn't she? She reminds me so much of my daughter at the same age, she was tall too and a bit of a baldy lol -she was 2 before I could get a tiny wee pony tail on top of her head lol -and my boys have all been right hairy monsters lol. You all look so happy, and rightly so!!!

Hi to everyone else hope all mums bumps babies tots are well

My week has been crap - cant even go into the ins and outs cos its too raw but have been fighting and crying all week Am totally exhausted from not sleeping well and feeling like my world is falling apart - have been off work on hols which is probably a blessing lol but not such a good holiday - back tomorow night and will be good to focus on something else I guess.

Anyway hope all are good and sending love to all xxx

 

[GossipGirly]

Oh Donna I do hope your ok?
Thankyou, we decided to take the good camera out for some shots and Libby was happy to play ball and smile haha. Yes she is very tall and can now open all the door handles, which is fun! We are eventually getting a decent amount of hair, can almost get a pony tail in the back, hopefully by the summer lol. Sleep is not to bad, I have good nights and bad nights. It's a vicious circle of I nap when she naps tho so I have to battle through haha x

 

[nb1984]

Oh Donna is everything ok? I really hope things are better and that work was the distraction you needed.

Liz your job offers for hubby sound fab, really hope you get good news on them soon!

Gemma do you think you will make your due date or do you feel like he'll come early?

xxx

 

[GossipGirly]

I just dont know anymore, its very painful now but he seems comfy, my waters broke with libby a week today so we shall see x

 

[wannabubba#4]

Hi Ladies thought I would just pop in and see how all are doing

Nat, what has your hubby done? Omg! Poor you (and him I s'pose lol)
My poor sil is in similar circumstnaces, I feel so bad that we cant help her out cos she is in London - her partner has been in plaster for past 4 weeks (at least another 2 to go, maybe longer as its tendon injury and surgery) she has an 18 week baby, a 3 and 6 year old and works fulltime; and OH is not allowed to even weight bear. She is about ready to kill him now lol!!
And hows ur bump coming along? Nearly half way already -time is going fast

And Liz -wow third tri - you okay hun? Been awful quiet! Hope ur not too stressed about work and impending twindom / tripledom including Dylan? You will be fab and so will all your babies, we mums have a super ability to cope

Gemma - how are Oakley and Lib doing ?, loved the most recent pics with her cuddling him - so cute!!

Chelsie- hows you babe? Are you working at all? Or just enjoying ur gorgeous Macie?

Nina - hows working mum life suiting you? Nice to be back in the world of adults for a while isn't it? Even though I feel so priviledged to be doing only 2 shiftys a week, its nice to go to work ( and makes me appreciate my time with dodge even more i guess too)

I have been working loads of extras the past few weeks though, so not such a happy bunny this past wee while lol -stupid car failed its MOT -over £800 and gales damage to roof ( but wear n tear according to insurers lol) - around 2k. Fun fun fun, but its only money and we cant take it with us, I s'pose

My dils wife was diagnosed with cancer last year and has just been told that the chemo is not working, waiting on a hospice bed now -so sad! So moto for today -live life for today, dont worry about the silly little things xxxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Hey all, hope all umps and babies doing well

My week so far is crappy, hubby made redundant yday and dad in laws wife died today crappy few days, whats next? These things normally come in threes

[GossipGirly]

Hi all, hope your all well xx

 

[MilitaryMummy]

Hello ladies, hope all mums, toddlers, babies and bumps are well?

Sorry i have been so distant for so long....
Lots of things changing and happening and complications but all is on the up and up lol.
Me and stuart are well and truely over and done with and am about to see a solicitor due to him keep letting macie down and then making stupid demands lol.
I'm completely happy now tho (although still broody) lol. and found myself a new man.... still in the early days but we shall see lol.

love to all
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Glad to hear that you've met someone who makes you happy Chelsie
Hope all gets sorted amicably as poss with you and hubby xxxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Dont know if anyone ever comes in here or not now but felt the need to vent lol

Period was 6 days late this month, unheard of for me so I really was starting to think I was preggers.Was sure I had metallic taste in my mouth, sore boobies, swollen abdo, was feeling nauseous and even my finger nails have grown significantly ( lol I am a chronic hail biter and have grown nails in 2 weeks haha) Now thinking symptoms were psychosomatic lol - am crazy!!!!

Anyway hubby thought it was funny; I presumed he'd be worried, mad, annoyed, any other emotion than funny lol!!!! I was terrified it was positive but ectopic - should probably add here, I still have my IUD insitu. Or positive but I would lose it on removal of coil
Done a test second day late - bfn obviously; done another test 5 days late still bfn -started spotting a few days ago but hardly anything and then last night the witch got me And now after all the worry , I am sad!! And broody lol!! Never even crossed my mind until this last week , now I am googling birth risks aged 39/40 lol, Hoping the feeling passes cos I know my pelvis would be terrible again and my little monkey is such a handful so I kind of know its silly to want something I can never get
Maybe I am perimenopausal and too late for me anyways!!!

No more babies ever! Sad days (even though its what I thought I wanted)
Anyhoo love to all xxx

 

[mrsbeanbump]

lol Donna!!!

ok first of all...good reaction by dh!! he showed his cards and it seems like he wouldn't really mind if you added to your brood!! I personally don't think you are too old! If you are fertile then by all means take full advantage!! There are so many women nowadays waiting until late 30's to get started. what a scare for you!! but it brought the true emotions to the table and I guess you'll have to explore them now!! Do you really want to be done? What implications will there be to the family if you added another? I think the biggest stage is going from 2 to 3 children in terms of car/holidays/days out that once you're past 3 kids well the more the merrier lol!! coming from an only child home I can't wait for my children to all grow up together...and if they get another sibling (or two) well its only a better support system later in life when they all grow up!!

I so hope my kids stay close... I see dh with his sisters and it is just like we've been excluded... He has 4 sisters and they are at a different place in life to us and they just don't understand having a family yet. I'm hoping we will get closer as they grow up and mature. Even dh's mum doesn't refer to his sistters as aunties!! she says aunties but then she doesn't say..take it to aunty R... she just says take it to R?? does that make sense!?

Well anyways...I'm hardly on bnb anymore but I get email updates and I couldn't help but feel for you Donna!! And I love playing words with you, your so challenging!! lol xxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Thanks Liz xx

Has given me something to think about, DH said yday he was kind of sad that I wsn't pregnant, but then ' it wasn't on the cards in the first place so just wasn't meant to be; but wouldn't it have been funny if I had been lol'

Really dont know how I feel yet, need a few weeks to get over the initial excitement lol

Hope all is well with you, dh and ur gorgeous Dylan Mason and Olivia Take care, and I enjoy the words too lol - exciting lives us mummies lead haha xx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Just before we announce next week (if we do, haven't even decided that I will officially announce lol) .....

And in case anyone ever checks in, or still gets notifications (Liz) lol....


Check out my new ticker!!!
Woop so excited, but a bit apprehensive haha
