Lovely lovely baby Powell! He looks quite snug and content

Aww beautiful Powell x

Lovely photos Powell!

I think all the 'guessing' of weight is pretty hit and miss regardless of which charts you use. Besides there's not a lot you can do about it if your baby is measuring big or small, you get what you get! I have no idea with this one but I kind of think that's a good thing as sometimes it just makes us worry more!

How is everyone today?

We have our 4D scan on Friday and I'm so excited, I can't wait to see my little man in 4D We're also off for a romantic break away as it's hubby's birthday tomorrow and mine next Thursday so we usually do something the weekend in between. We'll be leaving early Friday morning and coming back around 5/6pm Saturday MIL is having the kids so it will be lovely for hubby and I to spend some time alone before little man arrives x

It's so true my first measured off the charts for the first two years of his life now he's evened out and is tall and skinny. The dr I had with him actually told me to feed him less as a baby um no!

That's terrible pink! That's like making a baby diet! They all roughly even out eventually. Some children literally are bigger boned than others, my niece is 8 weeks younger than my daughter but is much much bigger in every way. She looks huge in comparison but then her mum is a bigger lady and her dad is 6ft 5 and a bit large too! As long as they roughly follow the curve once they are born for the first few years its not an issue.

Missmummy - very exciting about the scan! I haven't got a 4D booked this time around. Part of me wants one but part of me just thinks I'd rather wait to see what he or she looks like. It doesn't feel like a long wait anymore.
30 weeks tomorrow!

You're going to fall in love! I keep staring at the pics and watching the videos from ours. It's so amazing watching him in there

I already put "like" on your picture, Powell. I hope you can win the contest.

Has anyone else gotten a chance to see their baby blink in the ultrasound? It was a really cool thing to see her open her eyes for a split second.

Urgh, my OH is getting far too stressed out at work.

He was crying this morning so I got up and sat with him to try and get him to see that he shouldn't get upset because he and his colleague are working over capacity to help the company make money. It's the managers and other departments that are total idiots. They are doing the work of 4 people and both doing 10 hour days 5 days a week. It isn't healthy but their concerns fall on deaf ears.

I really hoped I wouldn't see him like this again; when he moved near me he got a job that really was emotionally draining and I could understand why he got so upset although it was so hard to see every morning. This job I know he and his colleague work their bloody arses off and he's feeling guilt if he leaves ON TIME or at least earlier than he has been doing lately. He's thinking about it all the time and he keeps thinking that when he has his paternity leave they will try to call him back in early because they are stupid and haven't prepared for when both him and his colleague will be away at the same time. Then he worries when he goes back it'll be him on his own as his colleague is taking over his wife's mat leave and therefore he won't get to spend time with his new baby.

*sigh* sorry for the rant, it's just i thought I'd seen the back of crying, sad James. I'm so angry at this company because they simply do not care about their employees. It's not just James that's feeling the stress, it's everyone. So it's the owners fault when the company falls (and it will) heck they don't even know which couriers their own company uses!!

 

[Sass827]

I'm so sorry Jary! What happens if he doesn't go in if they call while he is on his paternity leave? that sounds like a really sucky situation!

 

[Jary]

Well the dispatch office won't have anyone covering. I think now they are only just starting to realise that they have a problem on their hands. James is looking for another job but its a question of whether he'll find one before his paternity leave.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

They should not call him on paternity leave hun and if they do he does NOT have to go in! He is entitled to those 2 weeks off, it's not your OH's fault they don't have cover! Sorry they are upsetting him so much X

 

[Jary]

I know they shouldn't, but they are the kind of company that will.

James won't go in. He knows he's entitled to it so he'll make the most of it!

In other news my juicy cravings are back! Went shopping and I just went straight for the fruit instead of cakes like I normally do. Baby's womb order for the day!

3 hour glucose test 8:00AM on the 5th :/

Jary - I'm sorry DH is having such a rough time at work. My hubs went through that a couple of months ago and it broke my heart to see him so stressed out and frustrated.

Powell - I have mine tomorrow morning at 8:30. I haven't changed my diet at all this week so hopefully it doesn't affect the result too much. My doctor didn't say I had to do anything differently... just fast after 8 pm tonight. Luckily, my hubs is off work tomorrow so he gets to sit at the lab with me for 3 1/2 hours. Fingers crossed I pass!
