Due In May :)

[Sass827]

Sounds scary! I try to get lots of protein n fiber in the morning. Hope you feel better soon!

 

[Hann12]

Me too Sass, hard though sometimes as protein tends to take longer to make/cook. I can never be bothered at breakfast time!

I keep sneezing today!

 

[prolifer]

Had a headache for two days now ugh lol Doesn't help that my little girl coughed all night but I am doing my best to make her as comfy as I can. Doctor today methinks.

I had a dream last night about me holding my baby, a tiny head of dark, soft hair was all I could see but it was so precious! I wanna see my bubba!

 

[Sass827]

Hann - I'm loving these https://jimmydean.com/products/delights-turkey-sausage-muffin.aspx

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Can't sleep , blocked nose, feel sick, cough, need to pee every 30 mins, sore neck muscles, feel crampy and feel like bump is heavy (is this normal?) and supposed to be up in 5 hours for uni! This is crap ! Can't wait to feel normal to actually enjoy being pregnant! How is everyone else doing? Xx

 

[Powell130]

I think I'll try peanut butter toast in the mornings! Those Jimmy Dean Delights are pretty good too

Went grocery shopping for Thanksgiving sides to take to both sides of the family. Making jalapeno popper dip, pumpkin dip && strawberry cheesecake fruit salad. All recipes thanks to Pinterest!

Anyone in else is the US gettin' really excited for all the food Thursday?! lol

 

[Sass827]

Can you put a humidifier in your room Stevens mommy? And maybe a heating pad for your neck?

 

[Sass827]

Yes, I'm ready to put on another 5 lbs this next few days. And I started a baby hoard on pinterest too. Stinking love that site!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

No heatpads handy in the house, took paracetomal but they don't seem to work anymore lol! Think its just one or those nights! Great fun lol x

Put rice in a sock & tie off the end and put it in the microwave

We got our first "baby item" tonight. We got a 448 count pack of wipes for $12.and some change. We decided that everytime we go to Walmart or a similar store that we're going to buy some diapers or wipes (until we find out gender, then I'm going crazy haha)

 

[Hann12]

I wish we had a bug thanksgiving dinner on Thursday! I can't wait for Xmas dinner. Mmm turkey and little sausages in bacon and lots of gravy!!

Stevensmummy - hope you got some sleep, it's horrible feeling bad and not sleeping

 

[Jary]

I'll be late for my Xmas dinner because im working! Luckily it's only till 15:45 and FX'd they let us go early. I don't mind, next year I will be off because its baby's first Xmas and I can't miss that!

Can't wait for it tho Hann, I know how you feel it's just so lovely and yummy! Next year I will be at my mums for Xmas and she and my gran make epic Xmas dinners Boxing Day is usually a curry made from the left over meat (we usually have 3 kinds)


Gosh, just made myself so so excited for next year! I know baby wont understand at that point that Xmas means presents but they'll have so much fun ripping the paper and playing with the boxes, etc.

Anyone going to dress baby up? I may do so I can show the photos to boyfriends/girlfriends when they are older. Lol I'm mean but they'll be so cute!

And speaking of Xmas has anyone finished shopping? I've not even started. Don't know what to get anyone this year. Suppose we've had a lot on our minds

 

[nearlythere38]

Im still not feeling any movements i don't think. I would have thought i would by now with this being my third. Midwife tomorrow so will finally be able to hear bubs heartbeat

 

[Hann12]

Jary I will probably get a babygrow in a Santa type pattern then put them in either a smart boy outfit or pretty dress for the day. I had a load of pretty dresses for my DD's first Xmas but she was really sick and didn't wear any it was so sad. Really hope she's well this year!
I might do Xmas dinner at mine for the first time next year, I really want to. We wod invite everyone and see who can come. On Boxing Day we normally do turkey chips and beans but this year I'll be at my inlaws so will be having a full on turkey dinner again I think. My inlaws are pretty restricted in diet as in they are typical northerners (no offence anyone!) who only eat meat and 2 veg dinners. Makes things a pain when cooking for them! When we go to theirs we basically have a roast of a different kind every night so I am bored of roasts by the time we leave!! They also eat bread and butter with every meal which is not normal for me anyway! My DH doesn't do that.

Nearlythere - I've only felt the odd flutters, I've had a day or two when there's been lots but then I go for days of barely a thing. I thought I'd feel more by now too. I keep checking the hb with the Doppler and its loud and fast so I assume everything's okay. Perhaps we just have chilled out babies that aren't moving much!

 

[Jary]

Lol how far north are they? I'm originally from Co Durham and we love our roast dinners but we do vary! Anything that's comfort food like ham and pease pudding goes down a treat mmmmm

They are from the Wirral - across the mersey from Liverpool. I know its not that far north but they are so stuck in their ways. They won't try anything 'different' - my DH's dad won't touch pasta, pizza, curry, Asian food, in fact anything thatisn't traditional British. My MIL is slightly better but anything that has a slight spice to it she won't touch.
So we eat roast dinners, sausage and mash, cottage pie/shepherds pie, stew etc. They eat fish but only if its covered in breadcrumbs or batter.
I love variety in my food so its very boring eating with them!

I just got a 40% off dreamgenii code and bought 2 snuggle pod swaddling blankets - yay!

 

[Jary]

I do like variety but I am missing home cooked roast dinners as down south my OHs parents are a bit more health orientated. Not like everything healthy but the roast dinners just don't compare to my family's

Cause I'm feeling poorly comfort food would be just perfect right about now!

I'm thinking of getting one of those soup makers. I love home made soup and those little machines do all the work! Last year OHs mum had home grown all her veg and made fab soup for the colder weather.

I love those swaddling blankets! My mum would wrap me up tightly like that so I'd look like a little bug ^_^ I think I'll get one for baby

We've gotten a few random things so far, but this is the first year I've ever done ANY Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving lol We got lucky at Walmart the other day. I got a fleece throw blanket that was marked down to $5 from $7 but it rang up $2.88! I went back the next day and bought 5 of them lol so that is helping with a few people cuz I'm going to make some bath bombs & hand scrubs from recipes I found on Pinterest, so those 5 are going to be really cheap, probably around $25 for all of them! Plus the left over bombs and scrubs I'll give to the girls at work

 

[Jary]

I like to get silly things for OH at Xmas so I had thought of funny dad-to-be gifts. I always get him an Xbox game but I think he's got the ones he wants. Might get him something practical too, like waterproof walking shoes as he complains about getting wet feet whenever it rains!

Have the UK ladies read about that poor week old baby that died of a dog bite? poor little thing, even if a dog has always been friendly I'd never let one get too close to a newborn. Just surprised it was a jack Russell and not a staffie as they are always blaming them for being vicious. Our dog is a staffie and he's the softest wimp ever! Yet so so loving but I would still never leave him with a baby.

Can't imagine how the parents are feeling.
