Due In May :)

[nearlythere38]

Jary i had visits with both my boys, they brought me their red books and just gave some bits of info. Personally i think its a way of seeing which families may need extra support after birth x

Sass - I know it seems ages but it will go fast and before you know it your baby will be here it is better to think you'll go over though unfortunately and if you don't that's great but 80% of first timers are overdue

 

[Jary]

Well I'm in my final week of work! Feels like its going to drag lol. I'm on nights tonight and tomorrow then working long days Easter weekend. Still don't know if I'm having a baby shower...some of the girls at work were on about organising one but tbh I don't see it happening. But nevermind

OH and I went a to a couple of wedding fairs yesterday. One was at highcliffe castle which is in Christchurch and its an incredible venue. Expensive to hire but then again it is a CASTLE lol. The grounds are great as we would like an Alice in wonderland style tea party in the evening and have the tables for the meals decorated in that style too

Anyone feeling lots of hiccoughs? Baby gets them at least once a day lol.

I decided to buy a maternity bra and it looked a bigger fit than my others but its so uncomfortable because its slightly small so gonna have to go up bust and cup I think!

 

[Sass827]

Lucky duck jary! It probably will drag, but at least it's your last!
I'm getting lots of hiccups too. Luckily they don't last too long as they make me need to pee.
Nursing bras are really helping me as I've gone up in size 4 times or so. My current bra is a bit too big, but I hear that's what will need for engorgement time.

 

[Hann12]

That's right Sass, you def need some space!

Yay Jary, short week too so that's brilliant!

My DD is full if cold again and barely slept over night. She just did the shortest nap too so I'm exhausted. I'm not feeling well either. I'm going to go to bed at 7pm with her. Not even interested about eating today. Wish I could sleep all afternoon but its not to be. I am going to resort to sticking the TV on for her which I hate doing but needs must. Oh and mil arrives again at 4pm. Just what I need!! She's of no help either just an imposition I could do without. Better go as DD has started crying, again!

New baby alert (not mine, a friend of mines)

Her baby shower was yesterday got she into a wreck earlier and hit her stomach on the stearing wheel which threw her into labor and she just had an emergency c-section. She was due April 13th! Baby Sarah Ann was 6 lbs 7 oz

 

[Jary]

So cute! Glad to know mummy and baby are doing well

Happy 33 weeks due date buddies! Getting my whooping cough vaccine tomorrow!

 

[nearlythere38]

happy 33 weeks

 

[Hann12]

Happy 33 weeks!

Jary - only 2 days to go!

 

[Sass827]

Happy 33 ladies! We're almost there!

Good to see everyone is doing so well. As I'm sure all of yours are, my baby is growing so fast and we're very proud of her. She surpassed the 5 pound mark already! She's jabbing me a lot, and even though it hurts sometimes I love every minute of it.

Those of you on maternity leave are lucky. I still have over 5 weeks to go. I get paid on a salary for the semester, so I don't feel right about ending early when I'm still feeling pretty active. Luckily if needed I already have colleagues lined up to take over the rest of the semester. This week is the 2nd round of midterms for my students, so I won't be on my feet as much. My feet have really been killing me lately. I've always had bad feet to begin with, which is why I'm a swimmer and not a runner. Pregnancy doesn't help that situation.

Powell, congratulations to your friend who had a baby. I'm glad everything went okay even though she was a little early.

 

[Jary]

Hann I will be so pleased when it reaches 20:15 on Sunday! Last night was busy as we were down by an RN and a HCA so I'm hoping that tonight will be better! Felt so tired I wasn't sure I'd make it through my shift!

 

[Hann12]

I know the feeling on tired, I'm exhausted and got my Nct BF class tonight. It's worth it though

 

[Powell130]

Happy 33 weeks due date buddies!

[Sass827]

If I stand in the same spot without moving, after a long time, my feet turn purple! It's crazy!

 

[Jary]

Lol sass that sounds uncomfortable!

Speaking of uncomfortable, my back really played up on my nightshift. Feel so achey! My arm feels a bit dead too from the whooping cough vaccine I had today, but at least now baby is covered for the first few weeks after he or she is born

 

[mathgenius33]

Does anyone have any ideas about the whole feet thing? I have to stand up most of the time while I'm teaching and by the end of the day they hurt so bad. It's only getting worse too.

 

[Hann12]

I have to sit on the floor with DD for loads of her activities and my feet have started to get pins and needles/numb. Not really sure what can be done about it apart from moving and changing positions.

Jary - hope the arms not too bad, mine was really sore but only bad for 2-3 days.

Can't believe I'm nearly 34 weeks. Really need to get my act together and get some stuff for the baby and sort my bag out. I've just been too busy to focus on it but DH is off for a week from tomorrow so I really should get things sorted!

 

[Jary]

Did the UK ladies watch OBEM tonight? So so sad :'(

Also, my OH nearly just fainted lol. I think it was a combo of KFC, a long day at work with barely anything to eat and watching OBEM. Bless him.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Have you sorted your bag yet Jary? I have baby's bag sorted but haven't done mine yet! Need to get that done this weekend!

How's everyone?

We've had a lovely holiday but it's great to be back home X
