Huge congrats Baby, what a beautiful photo

Finished for maternity leave today! Woohoo! The girls at work were so lovely and generous. Lots of pressies to open and a gift card to NEXT which will pretty much pay for 90% of my 0-3 month clothes

Wow Noo! How nice of them!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Yey Noo, what a relief! Aren't your colleagues so thoughtful x

So what do you have planned now you're not in work?

 

[Noo]

So what do you have planned now you're not in work?

We are going to the Lake District on Monday for a week... Then I think I'll be home for a week then off to my mum's down in Banbury for a few days.

 

[Toms Mummy]

Ooh, I love the lakes ..... I hope the sun shines for you x

 

[Noo]

Ooh, I love the lakes ..... I hope the sun shines for you x

It'll rain... a lot... It always does when we go! I don't think we've been yet where it hasn't poured down or thunderstorms. It simply wouldn't be the same in sunshine!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Haha i know what you mean! But when the sun does come out its extra special! X

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Noo, so glad that your co-workers gave you such a nice send off. Also, enjoy your week at the lake, that will be so lovely.

Jealous that you are done work, today being here seems like a huge pain. Keep telling myself that I only have 13 days left, which honestly isn't very long at all. I also know it will be worth it in the end to have more time off with Isla and it is also making time go much more quickly for me. I will be off for almost a year as well so I shouldn't complain. Just feeling very tired today.

Not long Mrs Eddie until you can have a few lie ins before baby comes

On the flip side, I have been a sahm for a few yrs now but with the odd freelance job thrown in and I am finding time is going sooooo slowly. I feel like I've got no small milestones to count down to, like finishing work I have a midwife app tomorrow which I've been counting down to since my 20 week scan! I'm hoping the next one won't be so far away!

 

[baby1wanted]

Bet you're looking forward to a good rest Mrs Eddie! It'll be here soon
Hope the mw appointment goes well Toms and that times starts to fly for you soon!

I made it to second tri!!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Yey bab y1!!.... Hows the sickness holing up?

 

[baby1wanted]

MUCH better! Still nauseous on and off but have stopped being sick. Getting more energy back as well - did a 24 hour on call at the hospital Sat day / night, there's absolutely no way I could have done that a couple of weeks ago.
And it is so wonderful to be able to eat properly again!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Yey! Go 2nd tri!....

 

[annio84]

hi ladies, will do proper post/catch up when i can but just wanted to let you know, my yellow bump turned out to be... pink! Grace Elizabeth arrived at 21:21 on friday, 9lbs 12 and perfectly healthy. She's just amazing!

 

[Toms Mummy]

Congratulations Annio x Can't wait to hear more and see pics

If you're low risk then your next appt won't be until 34 weeks in the UK unless you have a midwife who does primip apps for multips. I got a 31 week appt but I'm high risk.

Oooh exciting!

Has anyone got any tips for backache? I'm in bloody agony. Staying in a caravan isn't helping much but already using heat packs, pillows and last night resorted to co-codamol (15/500 - only took one!) which took the edge off it but I don't like the effect on my bowels of codeine when I'm also taking iron tablets its utterly miserable. I'm wearing a bump support brace but I just cannot get comfortable whether sitting, standing, laying...
