Due In May :)

[Sass827]

Congrats Bella! So exciting!
I feel for your friend Hann. I hope LO comes soon. A friend told me she was examined one day and not dialated at all, then her water broke that night and she had her baby the next day. So, I guess it goes both ways.
Afm, group b strep test today. Hoping it goes ok. I'd also love to hear baby is engaged, but not counting on it.

 

[Hann12]

Good luck sass - really hope it's starting to engage!
Yes labour def works both ways, we just have no idea over here if we are dilated or effaced or anything as they don't examine you so in a way it's good as you don't think about it so much but also bad as you kind of want to know things are progressing!!

Lovely pics Miss Mummy Moo! Wish my OH would do some of me and bump!

Car insurance is proper driving me crazy. Hate waiting till Saturday to get my car but looks like ill be waiting longer at this rate. Insurers have now said there's an issue with their emailing system so I have to wait till that's resolved which is who knows when!

How's everyone doing? 36+1 for me today! So glad it's the weekend too and back to our normal routine on Monday. Got a biggish family gathering tomorrow at our house but thankfully no plans for Sunday. Been to see an amazing physio which has been great as she's released a lot of tension in my muscles, had some lovely crunching noises and feelings coming from my back and bum - was that kind of pain that really hurts but is also so satisfying!! She thinks the baby is engaged again anyway.
Anyway hope you are all okay and have a nice weekend lined up! Only between 2-8 babyless weekends for us all!!

Doing good over here. Enjoying the nice weather today. It was storming yesterday but should be nice all weekend plus it's hubs' 3 day weekend which I'm happy about! 35w3d today. Took 4 of our dogs to get fixed yesterday so I've been playing nurse for them. I feel bad for the females, they seem like they're in pain but I can't give them pain meds cuz they haven't ate yet so I'm just trying to love on em and try to get them to eat a little so I can give them their meds. Bout to go fix a bacon wrapped steak and chili cheese fries for lunch lol yumm. Haven't heard from the doc about my GBS test, but I also didn't ask if they'd call to give me the results or if I'd find out at my next NST on Tuesday.

 

[Jary]

Ouch Hann well at least it was a good kind of pain and has helped

Aww poor doggies Powell! It's always sad when they have had stuff done at the vets and they look all pitiful.

Food sounds tasty. We can't decide what to have for tea tonight lol

Got a gift for my co worker as her baby shower is tomorrow just a soft blanket by bean sprout with a giraffe on the front and some cute little baby washcloths....even bought some for our baby!

Wriggles has been extra wriggly today and can't seem to decide which side is more comfy lol. And I seem to be outgrowing my maternity tops! The one I had on today doesn't go all the way underneath my bump so the bottom of it was sticking out. Felt a bit embarrassed! Lol

 

[Powell130]

So far I've managed to not have to wear maternity clothes BUT my regular long tanks are starting to get a little short hehe it feels weird when the bottom of my bump starts hanging out

 

[Jary]

Hehe I said to OHs mum I felt like my uncle John....he has a really big belly and can never find tops big enough to go completely over his belly so it does hang down a bit!

And wow I really hope baby settles down soon! Starting to make my belly ache! You'd think I'd had an expresso or something!

 

[Powell130]

haha that's funny!

Mine has been having really active days lately too, starting to get a little painful lol

 

[Sass827]

Happy you're feeling better Hann!
My maternity tops are getting too short too Jary. It's unbelievable.
Poor pups Powell. Are they very old? Maybe you can lure them to eat with peanut butter?
I am swollen like crazy tonight. Not sure if ts from two very long days on the road or if its just how pregnancy is for me. My ankles are gross to look at.

 

[Jary]

Sass my ankles wouldn't really get swollen but my valves in particular looked proper man-ish haha! Thankfully since I've finished work I don't get it so bad. Have defo put weight on my thighs tho because my jeans are getting too tight

Awful night! Kept waking up in pain with my ribs and hips and baby (who is usually quiet at night) was having a good squirming session!

Any of the UK ladies know where to get good baby cotbed sets? Every one I see is so crazy expensive! Surely there's somewhere that has them at good prices??

 

[nearlythere38]

Jary i bought a custom made crib set from ebay, the seller is called gorgeousbabybaby and its really lovely and was only £30 for a five piece set. She also does cot and cotbed sizes, think u have to inbox her. But was very happy with it when it arrived x

 

[pinktiara]

Cant believe I only have just over 3 weeks to go omg!!!

 

[Jary]

Thanks nearly! I've seen some really lovely ones but the prices are unbelievable!

Enjoyed my colleagues baby shower, I didn't win any games but was nice to catch up with the work gang! She's given me a gift as wasn't sure if she'd see me (but probs will if my baby shower goes ahead) so waiting for OH to finish playing Halo before I open it lol.

Eep pink! So close now! How are you feeling about it all?

 

[pinktiara]

Im excited kind of nervous about knowing whats going to happen with my c section this time but thats only natural and really its all so quick I wont have been in labor all day this time lol

 

[MissMummyMoo]

They are really expensive Jary! We got ours from the Olive and Henri range in Babies R Us. I have no idea where you can really get them from other than Mothercare, Babies R Us and Mamas and Papas.

It will fly over Pink!! Are you all set and ready?

How's everyone else?

Can't believe this is the last weekend that we will be a family of 4 this time next week I hope to be home with baby x

 

[Sass827]

I've found really good prices on stuff on amazon. But toys r us does price match too.

 

[Powell130]

Happy you're feeling better Hann!

2 of them are 11 months, 1 is a year and a half, the other is 7. The younger 3 are eating and everything now and I was able to give them their meds yesterday but the older one still hasn't really eaten but i managed to get her to eat 2 treats yesterday so I went ahead and gave her meds. They said no "people food" for 48 hours so the PB would have been a no-no unfortunately. BUT I think the reason the oldest one is taking longer to come around is 1. her age and 2. she was apparently barely pregnant with 12 pups! So not only did she get fixed, she also had an abortion. She's moving around and back to normal acting, just wont really eat, but at least she's drinking water.

 

[Jary]

I'm sure you'll be fine pink! It'll be all over before you know it and baby will be there in your arms

Miss mummy moo I love olive and Henri! That's the Moses basket design, and I really wanted the set for the cotbed but so expensive! More expensive than adult bed sets!

And had another bad night. Had more sleep than the night before but this pain is really getting me down can't wait till d-day.
