Hey girls, yesterday i mentioned i had a sore belly. I had it all night and have woken up this morning and it really hurts! We were going to go out but it's that bad that i've decided to stay in. Its all in my lower abdomen and my down there is rock hard. It kind of feels like i've done 1000 sit ups or something.

I've done a bit of reading and it looks like its probably just my uterus stretching, but i'm tempted to go down to the hospital and get checked out.

Do you think its normal? X

 

[cranberry987]

Ive no idea tbh. I'd call Nhs direct and see what they say. I'm sure it's nothing tho

 

[Tizy]

I would get it checked just to be on the safe side Jade. Like Helen said its probably nothing, uterus stretches of somic, but maybe best speak to a professional anyway. It'll give you some reassurance as well. Keep us posted Xxx

Jayne -

Adam's clothes were amazing! The one that we had shut down 3 weeks before I found out I was expecting Tegan, we've had a few hand me downs from my cousins and they wash so well!

Jade - Tegan had a rock hard belly the other night, she woke up screaming with it, it was a combination of trapped wind and holding in her pee (for some reason, don't know why she did it!) But get it checked out hope it's all ok.


In other news..... WE'RE MOVING!

When we moved in here I was 22 weeks pregnant. This time I'll be 18 weeks, so we move a week on Monday Gives us 2 weeks to get this place straightened after we move and get it all clean for the landlord. We picked the 15th because I get paid on the 12th and have the 13th, 15th 16th and 17th as days off! And we'll have 3 nights of both of us there to help settle Tegan in to the new environment.

I can't wait! So this week it's packing, the following week moving and settling in, and then the following week I have my scan I'm loving August....

Hope everyone's OH's behave themselves this weekend, if Luke starts to get stressy with moving he will be getting a slap (I slapped him a few month back when he was yelling at Tegan at silly AM and swearing at her, he went and told his mum the next morning and she slapped his other cheek )

Jayne, sorry DH is being such an ass. Nick does the same sort of things. Complains that we haven't seen each other, then goes to his mom's to work on stuff in her garage or some craziness like that. Hasn't done it in a while though, because I've kept him busy with baby stuff! lol

Helen, hope you get a little rest over the weekend. I agree that maybe you can fake a headache and at least get out of going clubbing. Oh, and eating right before I go to bed seems to be helping. I still wake up nauseous, but I can eat without actually puking. So that's at least an improvement. Figure I'll know for sure if I have GD in 4 weeks at my next check-up, but I'm not going to worry too much about it til then. If the doctor was worried I guess they'd have me checking myself like you said.

Jade, sorry you're hurting! I haven't really had anything like that exactly. I was having horrible gas/constipation pains for a while there that really worried me. May be something like that. Not sure though. If it persists and you're really worried about it, though, definitely get it checked out.

Leigh, congrats on the house!!! That's so exciting! I don't envy the actual moving, but it'll be great to have a bigger place for baby! Cracked me up about Luke's mom slapping him, too! Good mother-in-law!

Cooked breakfast this morning, and then did a bunch of laundry and cleaning. Now we're about to go shopping, but my feet are already killing me from all the cleaning. Ugghh! Sometimes pregnancy sucks! Who would think that doing a little cleaning would wear you out so much that all you wanna do is put your feet up??? Oh well, I'm gonna shop anyway, and then dinner tonight out with some friends we've not seen in a while. Have a great day everybody!

 

[Rees]

Enjoy shopping Amy Glad the eating before bed seems to be working!

MIL can occasionally be good, we do agree on a lot of things, we used to be friends before she set me up with Luke (Met her volunteering at a young person's charity and we got on well!)

We just went through all the clothes of ours stored in Tegan's room and I looked at a few of her vests, the ones she was in this time last year look tiny! Found a newborn vest which was too big when she was first born and it's really dinky!

Got rid of 3 bags of my clothes, bin bags too! 1 is going to charity the other 2 were useless and have been chucked! Quite theraputic, had to be so ruthless though It hurts to see some of my lovely tops going to charity but I've not worn them in over 2 years and won't wear them after I've had this baby as they're more "going out" tops and I'm quite into wearing comfy mummy clothes these days

2 weekends left here, hopefully they will be quiet ones, but I doubt it as the summer season is in full swing and the idiots will be in the club around the corner

Evening all. Hope everyone is well.

Jayne hope you're feeling better, men are so annoying and unsympathetic at times. Rest assured you're not the only one with an awkward other half! As much as we love them they can be pains in the arse!!! x Oh and I'd be interested to see what boys stuff you might have x

Helen, have agreat time at your friends hen, you'll know when its time to come home, you'll be tired and fed up that everyone else is 'nicely sauced' and your not! Lol. x

Jade, hope your feeling better too, mothers instinct will tell you if you feel there is a serious problem, otherwise just rest up and speak to your midwife on monday. x

Leigh!! Woooo hoooo congrats on the house. I so excited for you, I've had such fun doing Roscoe's nursery, and you guys will have the whole house to get just how you want it! Lovely. X

Amy, hello, has it cooled down yet over there? Its raining here today and much cooler! Hope you get some nice things shopping

I've been out with my friend this aft, we met for a coffee and then, walked round the shops, being all silly an quite sarcastic about the 'general public' we weren't being mean, just silly an I doubt anyone noticed tbh. The letters arrived for Roscoe's room and i painted them and put them up, as a surprise for Mark when he gets home.

Also been a bit naughty and bought, penny sweets, crisps and houmous AND Ben and Jerry's Phish Food for our film this evening!!!!!! Well I doubt I'll get through all of that, but it is nice to have some treats again!

Over and Out! Xxx

 

[Rees]

Your treats sound yummy

We're being naughty and having pudding - chocolate cake and custard, mmmmmmm!

I'm really looking forward to moving, my brother works in a paint factory, so I'll be doing some "you know you're my favourite brother" antics and buying him baccy over the next few weeks He did say that they might have some pink paint they need to get rid of, but he's not said anything about it since! Something about investors and crap And I can do it all by myself as it's "nature paint" and not made with any harmful chemicals Which is nice....

I saw briefly the pic of Roscoe's name on my phone and it looks so cute

 

[xheartsx]

Hi ladies. Still have a really sore belly, but i have my midwife appt on Monday so i will just hold out until then. I just felt a few little kicks so i know she's ok

Leigh, congratulations on house moving! I bet you are super excited!!

Han, eat until you can't breathe! I was so bad when i was away, so i am trying to detox. I weighed myself yesterday and they told me i put on 20lbs. I was mortified. I didn't want to put on that much at this stage!

Hope everybody is ok this evening! I just watched the lovely bones. Good film! Not sure what to watch next really!

xx

 

[pink sparkle]

Morning ladies!

Luke's friend decided to show up unannounced last night and asked him out for a few drinks! So Luke went, never mind we'd made plans to sort out crap in the front room! *sigh*

I ended up sorting out a load of magazine's and found the pages from the local paper when I entered Tegs into the baby of the year comp last year, she was a finalist but didn't win. Didn't enter her this year, but my youngest godson and goddaughter are in it so I'll be naturally voting for them! My goddaughter was a finalist a few years back but she didn't win either - it does help when my parents and grandparents know SO many people we can nab their paper

I got the weekly email from the American company that does my my facebook pregnancy ticker and there was a link to a blog by a bigger mama Looks quite interesting.

I especially like this one: https://wellroundedmama.blogspot.com/2009/03/importance-of-blood-pressure-cuff-size.html all about the importance of the correct blood pressure cuff.

When pregnant with Tegan an unknown midwife to me took my BP with a standard cuff and my reading was rather high, I told her I needed the larger cuff and she didn't listen, my BP reading was really high, she tried with a bigger one and got a high reading because I was getting stressed with it all. Because of that, slight protein in my wee and puffy fingers and feet and it being my due date I was sent to hospital with pre-eclampsia, the pre-eclampsia I didn't have!

Moral of my little tale - make sure they use the right cuff!


Jade - how do you feel today? Any better?

I'm off to work later So don't want to go starting to hate work, doesn't help that Tegs woke up before 7 today when it's been 9 all week! And Luke kept snoring and hogging the duvet and I peed 5 times in the night He's sat now wrapped up in the spare duvet! It's not cold and he's not that tired, just being an idiot

Hope you all have a good day, we'll be watching the Community Shield match later before I go to work as Luke is a City fan, should be an interesting match!

 

[cranberry987]

i love that blog, have a look at the rest of it, some good stuff there

hen do was ok but i was ready to come home after the meal. was starving! Had two olives for starter, a tiny triangle of tortilla and green salad and it cost me £18.... they didnt do veg, just a massive plate of chips, and the rest of the starter meze was all fried crap which i refuse to put into my body. was starving when i got home so bought a cheese and pickle box from the garage on the way home, v classy stuffing that into my face as im driving!

Had a hypo yday after lunch as i had no carbs - again, £13 for a chicken salad (literally chicken and salad leaves) and had sat in the hot tub for an hour (was 37degrees apparently which is fine). Had to chug some OJ and I felt really odd, kept unpacking my handbag looking for something then getting confused and forgetting what i was looking for.

so it was ok but the food was terrible and i spent bloody £65 on the day. thats without any drink ofc. no one was really that pissed after the meal so i didnt feel too left out.

After we left the restaurant we were acosted by some german tourists asking about hen do's. they said we didnt have hardly any clothes on a) we all had cardis etc on and b) its august! it was hardly a rowdy hen do tbh so they chose a crap party to ask. i saw them later outside the duke which is a jazz bar and they were asking people about the jazz scene in bristol, talking to the locals is obviously their thing

slept well last night but up early. been on ebay buying 3-6 stuff. i reckon its better to get stuff now rather than when im on maternity pay and were skint, that way i can buy nice boden stuff. bought a gingerbread cot bumper ex display for £20 and a sophie la giraffe which ive heard are amazing for teething.

also for those who are thinking of using slings, have a look for a local sling meet, thats a place where people share all their slings so you can try em out. im thinking about getting a mei tai but need to check how newborns fit in them. will go to the next meet and have a look at ppl wearing them i spose.

have to visit the BIL/SIL today for nieces bday party. its only us going so i dont see how its a party really. dont want to go! They were going to have a bbq which is fine, but now its raining...

 

[Rees]

sounds like you had such a shit day

Hopefully your niece's party won't be too bad, especially if it's not many of you there.

Luke wants to do a BBQ for his brother's birthday in a few weeks time, I hate it, I can't eat any of it Nor do I want to risk Luke undercooking it all! Trying to talk him out of it, or hopefully he'll do it when I'm at work, plus they will be drinking and I can't stand that They become proper twats when they're both drinking!

Defo a good idea to start buying the bigger stuff now Can't wait until I find out what baby is

 

[sunshine623]

Hi ladies! Hope everyone has had a good weekend so far!

Hi Han! It has been a little cooler this weekend, but really just because it's been kinda cloudy. But compared to what it has been, 85 degrees isn't too bad! lol

Helen, that menu sounds awful! At our parties, my friends and I usually at least have a big platter of veggies to go with all the other crap food. Glad the others weren't too drunk for you to enjoy it, though!

We're up getting ready to go to church with my parents. I wish we could find a good church that we both like, but it's so hard. Plus we've gotten out of the habit of getting up on Sundays so it's hard to make myself get out of bed. My parents always want us to go with them, but their preacher is horrible! He seriously acts like he sits at the right hand of God and the rest of us are all gonna burn in Hell! So it's pretty much the same sermon every Sunday, and poor Nick needs toothpicks to keep his eyes open! lol The preacher also always seems to go on about how bad tattoos are, and since Nick's covered in them, he starts feeling bad and uncomfortable. Ugghhh, my parents better love me for going this morning! lol They're taking us to lunch after, so I guess that's at least good.

 

[pink sparkle]

Hi everyone...im so tired..been sitting at the computer uploading to ebay..grrr taking ages...and ive got lots and lots and lots more to add. Going to do a little every few days i think otherwise i will end up getting confused when it comes to posting etc lol!

Had a rotten nights sleep, really bad heartburn, really painful boobys too hot pokers through the nips....well thats what it felt like anyway. Im 28 weeks today yay 12 to go ..cannot believe how fast this is going.

Gonna put a few more pics on fb of clothes..so easy to upload there x

 

[Rees]

Wow it's been quiet in here today!

I'm sat at work, bored out of my mind. Every sunday when I come in to take over something's always happening that I need to sort out, getting annoyed with it now

Hope church wasn't too bad today Amy!

Jayne - good luck with ebay, we'll be doing similar if this is a boy with the mountain of girls clothes we have!

 

[pink sparkle]

We could have swapped! hehe

Im so bored...where is everyone? x

 

[Rees]

I'm so bored in work it's unbelievable!

I swear, the people I work with don't know how to get rid of an empty loo roll holder!

Ridiculous!

Had a powercut which lost the tills briefly and takes an age to get it back up and running

 

[sunshine623]

Church was actually nice today. The preacher was a lot more humble than usual, and talked about things we all need to improve on, not just the congregation. Then lunch with mom and dad was good, and we showed them the pack-n-play we're wanting. They're planning on buying it for us, but we started looking more and I think the one I really want now is about twice the price I had originally thought. It vibrates, too, and since we're gonna use that instead of a bassinet, the vibration may be pretty useful. Guess I'll be looking up reviews to see if it's really worth the extra cost.

Leigh, sounds like Nick would fit right in where you work! lol He can never remember to change the roll!

 

[sunshine623]

How long are we papayas? I was thinking I had already been one for 2 weeks. Seems like baby's growing a lot right now, so maybe they just ran out of fruits?? lol
