Curvy ladies

[Rees]

As for the classes, I found the internet to be better than the NHS ones! They ended up cancelling the one about baby care like bottles, nappies and feeding etc... The most useful one!

Shan't be going this time around, I know what can go wrong and what can go right, I wish I'd done the NCT ones the last time though

MrsB - at least they finally started to talk to you more about it! Are you glad that you asked?

If I get gestational diabetes they can gladly induce me at 38 weeks! I'll be so fed up of being pregnant by then

Roll on December when I'll start with the curries, walks, rasperry leaf tea etc... None of it works mind, but it's fun to try!

I'm so bored at work it's unbelievable, just want to snooze!

Had a massive row with luke earlier, left home at lunch, went back to take him a bit of shopping and then went to my mum's to watch the grand prix and then straight from my mum's to the station to come to work

He's been stressing, over money, his responsibilies etc... (What does he expect, he's a stay at home dad with a poorly pregnant missus!) I'm just so fucking cheesed off with him it's unreal.

I came into work and I felt so shitty, I felt like walking out, quitting and stepping out in front of a bus or something, I've told him time and time again to stop going on. All morning I felt like shit, been feeling sick for most of the morning and he goes on at me for not doing anything. He's not the one who spent the last 2 days doing 13+ hour days on 5 hours sleep! I've still not properly got over the chicken pox either

It's pants. I hate men. They should be like male seahorses and be the ones who carry and nourish the babies to term and then give birth!

sorry hes being a massive twat. they really dont realise how tiring it is. i didnt before i got preg, i thought it was just get preg, grow a bump, how wrong i was.

hugs

 

[cranberry987]

bought my cot!
and mattress. Wasnt planning on spending that much but the cheaper one was only £20 less. Also MIL is paying so screw it Can pick it up thursday from the store.

cot is on offer now and its def the one we want, been looking at it for months so may as well get it tbh.

 

[pink sparkle]

Just read through everything i missed and cant remember a thing now...blooming baby brain!

Helen - the cot is gorgeous! Love the transfers and saw that post on facebook did think wtf!!!

Rach - i hope the kebab has helped and that you have a good clear out (of wind lol) x

Helen i would get cot blankets as well as growbags as when its really cold sometimes you need extra and you can always use them in the pram too not sure whats on your list though, dont panic though you still have plenty of time x

Han - the nursery is gorgeous, will be even nicer when complete, my friend carried huge from around 12 weeks (honest to god she was massive) but once she got to around 26 weeks she seemed to slow down a lot and shes now 35 weeks and not much bigger (baby is growing fine though) you could find that your bump growth slows down a lil bit so i wouldnt worry. Holly was a good size i dont know how true it is but the old wives always say that your boys are bigger than your girls...fingers crossed not too much bigger in your case x

Mrs B - i agree that they wouldnt do it unless necessary and Rees im with you on completely having enough of being pregnant by then lol!

My cousin didnt have gd but they induced her anyways because of the shoulder thing with her last big baby. At two weeks early he weighed over 9lb ended up having to have a c-section and they still struggled to get him out as he was in a really akward position...apparently he would never have been born naturally...my cousin gave it her very best though and im sure that she was just glad to have him here safe and sound. They detected a kidney problem (also part of reason for inducing) and hes in icu being monitored...I hear they are happy with his progress so far though x

A few of my friends had gd and three of the babies had to spend a few days in icu because of blood sugar issues (one didnt was completely fine). Does this only happen if your blood sugars are not ok or can it happen even if yours are fine?

Tired today...trying to think of more baby girls names without too many L sounds and without 'ie'/ey sound at the end...not having much luck though x

 

[cranberry987]

If your blood sugars aren't controlled then baby gets too much insulin in it's body. Then when it's cut off from your high supply of sugar its blood sugar crashes.

As long as it's controlled most ppl just need to feed baby and that's gonna happen anyway really whatever.

Leigh, sorry he's being such an ass. I never realized how tired women get when they're pregnant either. I was like Helen and just thought you get big and that's that. How wrong was I??? lol Men will just never have any idea what we've gone through.

Jayne and Leigh, I think I'd probably right there with you about getting induced at 38 weeks. Since I found out my due date, I've been hoping baby would come at about 38 1/2 or 39 weeks. I'm due the 27th or 28th of Nov, and our big Thanksgiving holiday is the 24th. I'm already off that week due to the holiday, so I've always kinda hoped he'll come around the 18th. Then I'd have an extra week at home with him and be out of the hospital and be home by Thanksgiving. I know it's selfish and crazy sounding, but it's just a little early, so it's not too bad to hope for! lol

Helen, I love the baby bed! White is so pretty and universal. If we hadn't been given one, we would probably have gotten a white one, too.

We thought we'd go ahead and buy our stroller, but I think we'll just wait now and see what we get at the baby shower. We've set a date for it (Oct 16), and I'm already getting excited even though it's 2.5 months away! lol Can't wait to see all the wonderful baby stuff we get!

My mum and step dad are flying this morning for the first time...theyre in the 60's and 70's. I couldnt sleep, dont help that i live close to the airport and this morning the planes have kept me awake and i couldnt get back to sleep! God i hope that the are ok, i hope my mum hasnt freaked out on boarding! I feel like their mum as im so nervous for them hehe x

Sunshine wish we had baby showers over here being on baby no3 i dont even expect to really get many gifts x

Morning girls.

How is everyone today. I'm in a bit of a mood tbh! Marks on a day off today and I was just trying to tell him a few things this morning, so that he didn't get confused with jobs today and he said that in the mornings he just likes to get up and not get bombarded with things to do! I only told him that he couldn't use the salami for his lunch becuase we're having it on pizza!! God knows how he'll cope with a screaming baby first thing in the morning!!

Helen, your cot is lovely! Really like it. I didn't realise how expensive cot matresses were! I still need to get one of them!

Rach, sorry darlin, I didn't mean to alarm you, its just the way it came accross. I'm sure its just wind pains like you say....sorry again.

Leigh, ugh I'm with you, men can be so annoying at times! Hope you feel better soon.

Jayne, have a lovely time with your mum and dad, its lovely when relatives come to stay (as long as its not for too long!). Jayne girly names I liked were: Teala, Lacey, Ava, Tabitha, Freya, Noa, Lani, Talulah.....a few suggestions for you.

Hi Mrs B. Hope your well.

Amy, so nice you get a baby shower, I doubt I'll get one, they're not so common over here! I'll drop hints to my friends but I doubt they'll get them!

At work today, its so warm as well, muggy and rainy!

Han Xxx

Morning girls,

another hot one here, I hate it.

Helen, Im jealous of your mattress Ours is £25 brand new. Its just a basic one like what Pete has for the other 2 when they were both born. What was the link you posted as when I click on it it just takes me to my 23 week page at Emmas Diary. x

Amy, I think Id hate a baby shower. We dont really have them over here but Id be mortified with the fuss lol.

Han, Its ok lol. I had Fybogel last night and one this morning. *EDIT* Thank GODS for fybogel, I feel fine now

We saw a static van across the road being hit by a car last night with 2 idiots in, neither of us got the bloody number plate in time and didnt think there'd been damage done but the poor bloke has been out this morning sorting his tyre and broken light. Feel bad but not a lot we can do.

Jayne, Im with Han, I love Tabitha and Talulah but Pete wouldnt go with either when I suggested them! Theyre cute names.

x

 

[pink sparkle]

Talulah is lovely but a friend has a a Talulah who's 9 months ...all the best names are taken lol!

I got my last cot mattress from babies r us were on sale at half price it was sprung one think it was about £70.00 which was a bargain, ds still using it now on cotbed.

My mum and dad have gone to dublin not staying with me ....thank god lol! x

Just had to call the fire brigade stupid kids id bet set fire to a fence and bushes over the park...really annoys me as little kids play over there and could get hurt, the fire was really going for it...its a shame its happened really lived here three years and never had any problems caused by the park before.

Ive just come over really tired x

 

[Cherrybinky]

*tired too*

annoyed with Asda as their fresh coleslaw veg packet AND med salad was out of stock. I mean WTF this is a large supermarket and they have no salad? Why didnt they just send me a substitute? CROSS!

 

[pink sparkle]

Ive not long been in asda you would have thought it was xmas eve it was bloody packed does my head in ...once this baby arrives on line shopping it is...only thing that puts me off is do they check the date on yogurts etc that would drive me mad if they sent stuff that went out of date in a couple of days.

 

[cranberry987]

Hiya

some non L/non ie girls names... hmm, erika, paula, astrid, april, agnes, anora, comfort, darla are the ones i had on my baby names app which i liked. actually, do you think i could get away with calling a boy astrid? that name

Han - sorry your dh is being a div, write a note next time and stick it on his head

rach - weird that the emmas diary link didnt come up, it was just a list of stuff to buy for a baby. if you googled it im sure youd find it or something similar, but i bet youve got most things anyway!

I wouldnt like a girly pukey baby shower, but id like it if it was like a hen night type thing. also id like the presents

and amen to fybogel, totally agree, magical stuff. i usually carry on for a few days as theres generally a reason you got blocked up in the first place and it takes a while to go through sometimes.

I didnt think the mattress would be so mch tbh. I wanted a sprung one rather than foam and the cheaper one was £90 so I thought screw it, £20 aint much. Would have been different story if itd been me paying, ebay cotbed and shredded newspapers

Jayne, how exciting for your parents to go away flying for the first time, bet they come back with magical stories of teeny weeny packets of nuts!

Someone suggested I try the m&p sola as I was having a bit of a headspin over prams and it ticks all our boxes! Went into the shop and its actually rly nice - folds flat with seat on, ok shopping basket, not too wobbly. Think Ill get one off ebay as theres one in Newport for £100 BO or £60 bid atm. Its pink and black and Id prefer the green one tho, so will have a think. Im sure theres plenty on there tho. The only thing is obv you dont get any guarantee. Going to look at it and the babystyle oyster on sunday in cheltenham. theres a big pram shop which has loads of makes apparently

Also bought two toys with crinkly noises and bits to nom on (£12 for both, reduced). Had a look at proper boys clothes but I didnt rly like anything. Looked in m&p and mothercare. need to find somewhere more my style I think.

Someone in my home birthing group lost her twins last week, she was 19w and due same day as me really sad. they think it might have been an infection and there was some weirdness with the bags they were in, they had their own bag each and one shared. horrible for her to have to go through it. Read her post this morning and made me really sad

 

[cranberry987]

urgh, online shopping is a great idea but rly annoys me. if you order stuff for a recipe theres always one thing they miss, like turmeric - as if they run out of bloody turmeric. then you have to find alllll the stuff from the recipe and send it back with the driver.

 

[pink sparkle]

Helen sorry to hear about the lady from your homebirth group..really sad x

I spoke to my mum she didnt seem like she 'enjoyed' moaned that by the time her tea was cool enough to drink they were landing only took 45 minutes hehe said it will take some persuasion (sorry if wrong!) to get her to come somewhere like spain or cyprus! Dad was completely cool about it didnt even bother him...bless hes like 78!

Helen have you had a look at H&M for boys clothes they do some nice quirky things and prices are quite reasonable x

 

[cranberry987]

thanks ill have a look.

tell your mum that on a flight to spain she'll have time for two cups of tea!

 

[Cherrybinky]

I have pram dilemma again

We got our Silver Cross pram second hand (the shop where my Mum works). I loved it at first and now I feel bad because I begged Mum to get it and she paid for it and now I keep seeing lovely new modern prams and wish I had one. Mum got upset and said we can sell it if we dont want it but everyone keeps telling me how unique and nice it is. I love it as a buggy and it can also be used when baby is a newborn as it lays down but also had the upright carry cot style too.

I know baby wont care what shes in but I keep thinking people will stare because Ive got an older pram.

[pink sparkle]

Aww hunni you have to do what makes you feel happy, i kinda feel the same as my pram from ds is not modern and trendy anymore...its the bebeconfort loola..i just wont sell it as they sell for pennies and i couldnt part with it for £50.00. Im just trying to look at it like six months down the line i will buy a lightweight summer pushchair and that can be super modern and even pink if i want cos the loola is great for the winter weather. My double side by side is pants too only got it cos it was £100.00 new dont plan on using it much but wont feel great pushing it! xxx

 

[pink sparkle]

I think ppl will look at you pushing it but only because its so unique now i dont think anyone would think anything negative of it, you might get all the older ladies telling you they had one just like it hehe...my mum always harps on about how much better they were in her day x

 

[cranberry987]

have a think about whether it does what you want it to. I know you dont drive, so will it be good for on the bus? Will you be able to lift it up curbs etc? what other things do you want it to do.

I dont think you need to worry about people thinking youve got an old pram, im sure theyll think its lovely and retro, but if its just a pain in the arse to use then Id sell it and give mum the money back, or put it towards a newer one. You bought it so theres someone else who will
