Wendy (swissmiss) thinks im going to pop @ 37 weeks according to a dream she had .... so lets wait and see if theres any truth in it lol!! I hope so!!

 

[Poloma]

Yay for Vicky! and gorgeous lil Ava xXx

Had a quietish day, doing the usual housework and looking after two toddlers!
Got horrible period type pain in the lower part of my bump at the mo (started about 1/2 hour ago) really hurts
And baby is pretty active too, had a bout of the hiccups earlier which always makes me chuckle! as my belly wobbles!
Think I might go for a nice warm bath and see if that helps ease the pain xXx

Hope everyone has had a good day xXx

 

[Pyrrhic]

Rafwife at your panic in the tub!! bet you felt like a plonger!! lol

Yep Even moreso when OH rushed upstairs, so I had to make up some excuse about how I just wanted to know if he needed the hot water.

We started painting LOs nursery tonight, and ordered the cot too.

congratulations to vicky on the birth of ava she is stunning

You're all too busy! I've only been gone a day and there are pages or posts again! How am I to keep up?

To business...
PP - I eat my dinner on my ball often, it's the right height for using at the coffee table in front of the TV! lol I can't fit a plate on my lap anymore, unless I want my dinner all over my bump instead of in my mouth! Glad you like your new hospital.
Donna - sorry about your piles!!
Donna & angelmouse - I had blue hair once too, not all of it but the ends. I loved it! But it's a nightmare to maintain as it washes out in about 3 washes.
rafwife - I don't get shooting pains down my bump but when she pushes it wrecks my cervix and pelvis. I'm certain she just likes to stretch out with toes in my stomach and between my ribs and head pushing down hard! I'm jealous of your lovely sleep, mine is better these days but I think my pelvis is on the stretch again as my hip pain is coming back.
Tyff - So glad you enjoyed your baby shower, it sounds fab!
Vicky - hello you! I hope you're going to keep watch over us Dec mum's now, like a fairy godmother! lol
Lou -

So about me! lol

DH and my Dad spent all yesterday hanging wallpaper in our room. DH is finishing it off now and I've been sanding skirting boards. Going to buy the paint for the walls tomorrow. Hopefully come next weekend we can have the cot round from my parents' at last and then we'll be rather more ready for baby to arrive!

I'm feeling pretty grumpy and tired though. Getting braxton hicks a lot every evening now and LO is still booting me all over. My stretchmarks are stinging like hell and all my clothes hurt them. It seems to stretch them just to sit down! I even have them along my knicker line! Baby is trapping my bowels so I keep getting quite a bit of discomfort. On the plus side I've not felt sick for a couple of days and I am still on leave! Huzzah! Tomorrow is my 36 week MW appointment in the morning then antenatal in the evening. In between I need to shop for paint and start undercoating the woodwork. That's if I'm not just napping anyway!

Hope you've all had nice weekends.

PP glad you like your new hospital. And oo someone had a dream about you popping at 37 weeks. I wonder if its a premonition
Donna- oh the joys of pregnancy lol, hope they get better soon
rafwife- You make me laugh about the bath thing . Had me really excited for you until i got to the bit about it only being herbal esscenses lol he he
Tyff- im glad you had a good baby shower. What did you get??
UV- hey hun :wave:. that swinging crib sounds lvely i wish i had one of those now
peanutbean- Bloody hell woman you don;t stop lol. try not to over do your self . Sorry that you are so uncomfortable hunni, i hope baby moves soon so you can have a good clear out, i was like that really clogged up until about a week ago and then the heavens opend lol. Hope you feel better soon

And ive got a question for all of you. Do any of you find if you sit down for to long, you get really sharp pains in the rib area and it doesn't go until you stand up and walk around for a bit?? And do your boobs ever get like shooting pains in them. Cos both of these things are happening to me and ouch it hurts

Heather I have recently had some shooting pains in my boobs and wondered if they were growing again. I'd forgotten though so I guess it passed! I get painful ribs from LO's feet but no other reason that I can think of... We're all wrecks! lol

[PeanutBean]

Sorry Nemo, no idea! I've not used it, nor raspberry leaf tea.

 

[Aidan's Mummy]

Wow thanks Heather! I spent like 15 minutes solid googling and found nothing! lol My mum was induced at 37 weeks cuz of preeclampsia and i was 7lbs 6oz so I'm hoping Isabelle doesn't follow suit on the size so I wanted to see how much more babies grow in the last few weeks!!! x x
