Feeling tired. Working ft with the 2 kiddos is pretty exhausting.

Had my 30w scan on Tuesday. Placenta has moved which is fab.

 

[cutelou101]

Wow 12 weeks rach! I had to read it twice too! Come round so quick. How's the bloating now?

Great news about the placenta jo. Only 10 weeks to go now! Just looked at your summer pics on fb, looks like the kids have been having a fab time!

Back home now. No signal in Wales 3G wise. Had a great time, both little man and dog enjoyed the beaches and lucked out for once with the British weather. Attempting to try potty training now while I'm off.

 

[goddess25]

You guys have had great weather over there.

I am 31w tomorrow, just posted a bump pic from last night on my journal.

We have had a great time so far this summer, I have a tonne more pics that I want to put on but they are on DH computer so might do that this weekend.

We need to start toilet training Livi too..I dont think it will take very long for her. We just need the time to do it.

 

[cutelou101]

Yeah is just having the time. I knew if I didn't do it now, it wouldn't be till Christmas. He's doing great at home no underwear. 3 days no accidents, just gotta work out how to introduce pants as that's when we get accidents. Might try just shorts to start as looser.

Love the bump pic jo, looks like you've been out and about loads. The kids look so cute!

 

[goddess25]

Long weekend its fabulous. Its 8 am still in bed. No sound from Livis room. Euan started getting a cold yesterday and I can hear him coughing in his room.

Bought a toddler bed yesterday and new furniture for livis room. Also bought a car seat, baby bath and moses baskst for baby. Felt a bit wierd buying it. Need a few more bits but we are doing ok. Still have no names for either gender. Have 6 more weeks at work and then will get lots of gender neutral clothes sorted out.

On vacation last 2 weeks of august. Not going away as can't afford it. Will do lots of dsy trips and wjll be really nice havinv that time together as a family before baby gets here.

Sounds like Foley is doing really well. Hope you get the pants issue sorted out.

 

[cutelou101]

Looks like its all starting to come together jo. I'm sure 6 weeks will go fast. The 2 weeks as family be lovely for you, day trips are great, get to keep your own bed then too!

8am sounds lovely, keep getting 7am, which not bad but prefer closer to 8!

It's going ok, started going ok, he can hold for 2 to 3 hours and have managed morning out no accidents and pee in travel potty. Having about one accident a day to none. But he's def on the way. Off to a kids festival on Friday with my mum, first full day out.

 

[goddess25]

Have fun at the festival. We need to get on potty training with Livi. This weekend she is getting a proper bedroom, built a toy box for her room on Saturday, we have new drawers and a new bed. Washed all the linen for her quilt and pillow etc. She is going to be so tiny in it.

After she gets used to her new bed, will start tacking potty training with a vengeance in amongst some day trips.

 

[kanga]

Well done on the potty training with fo. We are yet to tackle it, going to wait until after our holiday.

C currently kicking off in bed. He went down over an hour ago. I've Been in and out like a yoyo (so is prob all my fault actually)

Not long Jo! Sounds like you're getting well prepared. Placenta still behaving?

Afm, totally exhausted. Feeling depressed about it.

 

[goddess25]

Approximately 7w till I hope baby comes out. My parents arrive 7w tomorrow and then it will be operation eviction if he/she is still in me at that time. Its a bit scary. Had quite a bit of bleeding last week after having Sex with DH for the first time in 12w since we found out about the placenta previa. MW reckoned it was an irritated cervix so have told DH not doing it again until we are actively trying to get baby out.

Sorry to hear your so tired Rach. Just read about your bedtime exploits with C and putting all his toys to bed. Very very cute.

 

[cutelou101]

wow! 7 weeks Jo! its coming so quickly now. hopefully he/she will make a timely appearance for your parents arriving. Sounds like Livi is getting a lovely room. Sorry to hear about the bleeding, must of been scary. Sounds like a good plan to me!

Rach sorry to hear your feeling so exhasted. hoping it passes soon. Saw C cute teddys post last night too, bless him.

Thanks guys, starting to feel more relaxed about it in 3rd week now. managed 6 hours out with all 3 wees in the potty. however, he had major poo accident with the child minder today. least i missed that one!! Hope the two full days out on friday and next wednesday go ok!

 

[goddess25]

It sounds like he is doing great, well done Foley.

Its getting a bit scary now..I saw a newborn the other day and even though i have 2 kids you so forget the size and how needy they are in a different way.

 

[cutelou101]

I know, I hold my friends and it's so strange how you forget. I'm sure it will all come flooding back jo once he/she arrives.

Hope Euan is feeling better! Poor mite xx

 

[goddess25]

much better thanks. On vacation this week so just having fun with the family despite 2 childrens attitudes...

just stopping on quickly to see how you are all doing.

34w preggo tomorrow, been discharged by gestational diabetes people and baby measuring on track for dates. took hubby today to discuss home birth with the midwife...he isn't really keen but he isn't sure why.

 

[cutelou101]

Great news you've been discharged. Can't believe you've not got long left! Is he worried about being away from hospital? How far away are you? Know that was my dh worry

Sounds like your having fun on vacation

Last few days of mine, foley staying at my mums this weekend as have induction and work to do. Will miss him

 

[kanga]

I'm planning hb too Jo, how far from hospital are you? I just don't want to go to the hospital again and have to deal will all their scaremongering at every turn.

16 w now. Got an appt with the specialist today, i think it's to talk about the pe last time and retained placenta. Wol see what she says about my planned home birth. Probably that I'm 'not suitable' !

 

[goddess25]

I don't think they can preclude you for HB at this stage based on what happened last time, its better to take things as they happen. If you develop PE again then obviously that is different and you can be transported to hospital if you retain any placenta.

So pleased to read that you are 16w...fantastic. Can't believe its moving that fast.

I am only about 10m drive from my local hospital.

 

[goddess25]

Lou we are having a lovely time on vacation but omg I had forgotten how brutal it is being home with the kids. I love them dearly but lets just say I am not looking forward to mat leave with 3 kids at home as I was before.

 

[hb1]

Thank goodness I didn't miss the birth! And go Rach!

Hey peeps how's things?

Work good - had nice time off with Ollie in summer hols - between me, oh and my mum we covered enough so he's only in holiday club for 10 days in total - he's been to the zoo 7 times, a few castles, round to friends or nana and gramps or nanny (oh's mum), farm parks and shopping - he has had a fab time I think and his speech is coming on - I think he will need help with certain sounds though - f's and t's and g's.

 

[goddess25]

Nice to hear from you Helen. Sounds like you have had a lovely summer. Has O been referred to speech therApy if your worried about certain sounds?

 

[kanga]

Sounds like Oliver's doing great. Are you getting back into the work swing now! It's certainly autumn here, and I'm loving all the toddler groups starting again.

Just returned from holiday n Vegas where we had a great time. V little for children there though and the time diff was a killer.

Almost 19 weeks now. Got my 20 week scan next Thursday. Panicking about birth and having lots if flashbacks to last time.

Your turn very soon Jo! Howare these final weeks treating you? Xxxx
