December Mums

Haha! I never wear heels but I do struggle to lace my walking boots when I walk the dogs now, have to set up a kitchen chair with a dog towel underfoot as I can't get them on standing up.

I've not asked my DH to cut my toenails, though he has offered, because he is NOT allowed near my feet ever!! I did them yesterday myself, baby just has to be a bit squashed for a short time! I tend to miss bits though and find them catching and have to go back to them. It's extremely annoying!

Well done on your bag Donna! Everyone is sooo far ahead of me in everything...

Uh oh.
What did he do to your feet to be given this decree?
Now you have me rather curious!
Or do you just have very sensitive feet?
Inquiring minds want to know!

 

[Tiff]

I'm afraid to think of what my feet look like at the moment. I try to do the best I can, but it's just really hard to move to a comfy position to do it!

Got a cheap pj set and robe yesterday for the hospital. Don't want my nice stuff getting ruined! Getting closer to getting it done, which is nice.

Argh! All this talk about hospital bags!
This suddenly seems like a very very important task!
I'm 33 weeks today.
I guess it's best to have it ready, eh?
Or... is leaving it until the last minute a good way to tempt the gods into a timely delivery, rather than a Dec.25 labour or a 47-week gestation (which I have no doubt they currently have planned for me)? I am deliberating over throwing myself a Dec.21 due date party to see if that will irk said gods into action on time, too. There's nothing like a houseload of people and a huge spread of food to bring on contractions!
One must be clever and devious about these things!
By the way, have any Canadians out there seen maternity pads? I've only found heavy flow menstrual products, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place? I didn't know about the risk of infection with the plastic-y brands like always. I don't know what an alternative here is.

I got a package of Tena pads... it's the best that I could find. They're for people with urinary problems, but I'm hoping because they're larger it won't be so bad. I figure if the nurses scold me for having them then they can very well tell me exactly that I SHOULD get... as opposed to leaving it like a mystery.

Haha! I'm generally pretty sensitive to tickling, I hate it a lot, it makes me cry. But feet! He can't even sit near them without them being somehow tickled by a stray corner of shirt or a fold in the settee fabric. Very very sensitive! I can hardly touch them myself!

It's pretty cold here too Bambikate but I've not been outside. I washed up while DH took the dogs today.

Welcome back Sophie, you better?

Lou you've been so productive! You put me to shame. We've watched Merlin and are about to watch Casualty. I made cake and washed up. Mostly I've just sat about watching 80s number 1s on TMF!

 

[momandpeanut]

Hi all,

Hope everyone is well this evening !

Ive had a miserable day dont know why i just woke up crying and havnt been able to snap out of it !

My OH has been fantastic he cooked a wonderful roast beef and yorkies and we had chocolate cake and cream for pudding , so im well and truly stuffed !!

 

[PeanutBean]

m&p, sorry you are feeling blue. I've been feeling a bit blue this evening. I think the hormones are still temperamental when it comes to mood. But we've not long now!

 

[momandpeanut]

Hi PB , i carnt believe we are getting so close !! These dam hormones are a nightmare i hate feeling down for no apparent reason !!

Did you have a good last day at work ??

 

[PeanutBean]

Yeah I didn't do much work though! Had a nice meal out after. It was all kind of understated but that's ok as it's not like I've energy for more excitement! Been feeling weird over the weekend, it's going to take some getting used to! Last week I worked Sat and two nights and have a total of 6 events to attend for work. This week, I've got antenatal tomorrow, aquanatal on Wed and might see a pal for lunch on Fri! Bit of a change!

Sorry you're feeling blue though. It's such an emotional rollercoaster! I hope the hormones from breastfeeding turn out to be a bit more settled!

 

[momandpeanut]

Glad you had a good last day !

Im sure when i get up tomorrow i will feel completely fine again! just one of those days

I havnt got another antenatal appt until im 36 weeks but we do start our antenatal classes on an evening next tuesday !

I might go to see my cousin tomorrow depends if i fancy the train in the morning !!
