Due In May :)

[Hann12]

I feel like that too, restless and fed up! Doesn't help that I'm also trying to entertain DD and have no energy for that! She's just bashed her head on my bump straight on the baby's bum and it hurt! She loves lying on me with her head on the baby but its started being really unconfortable for me now the baby is bigger and I have less water. Still only an hour and 45 minutes before hopefully my DH will be home to help put her to bed.
I'm so glad that I have help now until the baby is born as I'm struggling! I know some of it is my back but some of it is general tiredness and fed up. It's not very fair on DD for me to be in a grump all the time. She still appears to want to be near me all the time though which amazes me as I must be so boring as I can't play with her like I used to!

Aww your little one sounds like she just loves her mum. Maybe she knows it won't be long until she won't have you all to herself. Hope your OH is back soon to help! I want mine back too and I'll get round him to pamper me hehe. Kinda feel like being all whiney!

There's some mega hailstones coming down outside! Seriously the weather has been either lovely and sunny or rainy/hailstones...can't make its mind up.

 

[Hann12]

ha ha I feel like being whiney and needy tonight too!! Mine had better text me soon and tell me he is on his way - it takes an hour minimum to get home.

I know what you mean about the weather, its not actually raining here but its nasty and cold looking. We had a bit of sun during this afternoon but its still chilly. Didn't bother putting the washing on the line as I'm not fast enough to dash out and get it in again!!

 

[Jary]

My OH rang to say he should be back before 6. I know it's not long but it got me down I feel a bit calmer now...got stretched out on sofa with body pillow underneath one side of me so I avoid lying on my side but I'm not flat on my back either. Being on my side makes the pain in my pelvis worse and I've done good today to not aggravate it.

Think I may try get OH to massage my feet as they've got really dry!

Holy the peeing at night is relentless Mason is soooo low that its like I have to pee every 5 mins Than Carter (3.5) comes in at about 645 ish if our stupid cat doesn't wake me up first he's a whole other story lol. the hip pain is relentless my poor hubby I have to toss and turn so much at night good thing hes a heavy sleeper. I find the exhaustion hits me about 9 or 10 in the morning and its even worse if I get lazy on breakfast and my sugars are too high (GD) than it feels like i'm the walking dead and that lasts about an hour or so ugh. Carter hasn't napped since he was two but he will let me nap if I let him play skylanders haha I don't like to let him play during the day he normally plays with daddy when he gets home from work but desperate times call for desperate measures!!

 

[Hann12]

I'd take 6! Mine has gone quiet which means he probably won't be back until 7/7.30 which means I have to put DD to bed alone which is a nightmare now as I struggle to lift her without my back killing.
Sorry feeling very whiney today!!

 

[Hann12]

Pink - I know what you mean about the toilet trips, I'm going every hour minimum! The ridiculous thing is that I don't even know how engaged I am so I might not even have an engaged baby! And yes I'm with you in the toddler getting up and being in the go early - mine is normally up between 6.15-6.45. Thankfully she does still nap for 1-2.5 hours a day!

 

[pinktiara]

Doc said he was so engaged she couldnt move his head at all suuuuper haha no wonder I gotta pee all the time thank god I only have till the 8th. Its totally every hour and I try to ignore it but than you get the pain lol and they say pregnancy is a wonderful experience um for who ??

 

[Hann12]

I see the doctor on tues so will find out then. I feel like you are describing but my bumps not dropped yet so it can't be fully engaged for me

 

[pinktiara]

Ya I dropped weeks ago super awesome when it sticks out the bottom of my shirt hahaha

 

[Hann12]

Lol yes mines started to do that but still think its got more to drop!

 

[Jary]

My bump sticks out the bottom of nearly every top I wear lol

OH still isn't back! He better not be too much longer!

 

[Hann12]

Mines not either Jary and bedtime rapidly approaching arghhh!

 

[pinktiara]

Its only 1030 am on friday here ugh haha

 

[Jary]

He rang again to say he still has stuff to finish off at work. Honestly his company takes the p**, he's supposed to finish early on a Friday.

Ah Hann, you're so zen. I just want the baby out for so many reasons. Like, we can't swim for 6 weeks after. All of our pools are only open may 27-sept 1, so if she's a week late as opposed to a week early, ill miss 2 more weeks of pool time! I know, I know. Terribly selfish of me.
Funny about Henry. DH and I are considering Rose as the middle name And a coWorker randomly told him not to use rose as a middle name as he knew a girl with that name and she was a terrible person. How random?
We went with the medela double electric pump. Not sure if I'm really going to need all that power as I don't plan on leaving LO for more than an hour or two for 6 months of so. But our insurance covered it, so I went with it. My bf teacher said I probably only really need a $30 hand pump from toys r us.
All of this peeing and pressure does feel like a uti sometimes. I would hate to be an elephant!
Been having terrible wrist pain. Went to the orthopedic doc today and he gave me a massive needle of cortisone. Hurts more now than before. He called it pregnancy tendinitis. Boo! I'm falling apart! I need this baby out.
What actually makes your water break? Is it the baby stretching it out?

 

[Jary]

Funny about names...we thought of Connor as a boys name but everyone we spoke to said when they met a child named Connor they were all horrible children!

Don't know what makes waters break...I imagine it does just thin out due to the pressure from baby's head, but some baby's can be born still in the waters!

 

[Hann12]

I had to have my waters broken at 10cm so no idea on the whole waters thing! It's def a mystery!

I'm not really chilled, I do want to meet the baby badly but I'm just trying to be realistic to avoid disappointment. It's hard though especially when I'm in so much pain and tired etc. Not all roses here lol!

It's funny how people give opinions on names! I'd never do it in case they went with it and then they always knew that I didn't like it. Sass - I like Rose! Our girls name is now Rosa may - so I have to hold out until may to have the baby not that I'll have a problem doing that!

 

[mathgenius33]

Don't listen to people who say the met horrible people with the names you like. You can prove them wrong by naming your baby that so they meet a nice person with that name. As a teacher I would never be able to think of a name. I even had a kind of rude student last semester with the name we chose for our daughter, but that didn't stop me. I also had 2 other students this year with that name who were very nice. Anyway, that's pretty messed up for people to judge.

 

[Jary]

Well, not to worry as we like Samuel for a boy. Only problem is that's the only name we've both agreed on and so if we have a boy and decide the name doesn't suit him, he'll be called Wriggles McNicol for his first few days of life! I did think about the name Brandon again, but I don't think OH is keen on that one.

I tried sleeping in bed last night and managed about 3 hours in one position but after that i woke up and needed to vacate to the sofa! It's like as soon as I touch the mattress my hips shout at me! It's a good mattress so I don't know why it doesn't agree with my body but not long and soon even tho we won't be be sleeping much I will be able to at least get some comfort!
