[sparklez]

JOkerette I love this idea, it's been lovely finding out more about everyone

Name: Sparklez (Judi)
Due date: Jan 24th
Age: 26
Location:Near Manchester, UK
SO details: husband of 11 mth, we've been together for 8 years
Other children: none
Profession: complicated!! 1 do some 1:1 support in schools for children with speech difficulties and one girl with epilepsy, I also work as a home tutor for children with autism and aspergers and for some families I supervise their home programs.
Other fun facts: Lifelong veggie, loving being pregnant now everyone knows, have been waiting ages to be ready and now so happy to be here (sorry bit soppy, I'm supper emotional, cried today at a book that was a bit sad)

Oh and i think someone mentioned about carriers....we have tried pretty much every carrier out there and here are my tops. For when they are wee little, the Moby Wrap, is the best-hands down. Once they get to be about 15-18lbs the Ergo was THE BEST. It was the only one that didn't hurt me because the weight is evenlly distrubted. We tried a ton others. Eventually they start hurting-the crotch carriers, after about 12lbs your shoulders WILL hurt.

We got an ellaroo maija off ebay arrived today and I'm super excited!! want to get a moby too though, keeping an eye out for bargains

 

[Jokerette]

Junebugs- I've been sticking with 25lbs or less . But try not to worry too much about the dog, like you said, you were just helping her along

Junebugs- was great at 11 weeks, and then got sick unexpectedly over the weekend, though nowhere as miserable at 9-10 weeks! so not as bad thankfully!
Sparklez- indeed! omg, you got me thinking! i am 5ft 2 inches too, and a big baby would not be much fun...I love your button!

Oh no please don't say that I got excited when my MS finally eased quite a bit at start of week 8. . . Now you are telling me it will be worse @ 9&10? I could barely handle it before And I have a lot of checking out to do on my last week of work next week and we are going to visit my Fiances sister/mom this weekend don't wanna be sick hole time since my week starts on Thursdays

Hi Ladies,

Well been away for some time as I was hospitalized for a bacterial lung infection but am home and doing much better and bub has been perfect despite everything.
Had a scan this morning which put me a week and a half further along than previously thought which means I am now due 2 Feb.
Just taking it easy now as I cracked a few ribs with all the coughing but my 3 1/2 yr old is doing a wonderful job of spoiling Mummy.
I look forward to catching up on everything I missed.

You poor thing

 

[becstar]

Wow!

Scan this morning was great. The baby didn't want to move despite prods, coughs, bounces and jiggles and then just before the end it went crazy! The sonographer put me forward by 5 days so my due date is now 27th Jan (not sure that's actually possible but there you go...) I am sticking in here because I think I'm a Feb due mummy, still, and I like you all!

They took 3 attempts to get blood from me - ouch!

 

[becstar]

PS Can anyone see a nub? Not sure what I'm looking for.

Wow Becstar, that is so precious. What a beautiful pic 2 more sleeps until I see my beautiful baby again

 

[swanxxsong]

Ah Jokerette, that sounds lovely! That’s one of my favorite Bill Murray movies… hilarious! And from what I’ve seen, it’s beautiful up there. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!! I’m not jealous at all.

Sorry Junebugs, I have no idea the limitations on weight lifting and such. I’d say 100 pounds would definitely be too much, however like you said, you didn’t lift the dog off its feet so it’s difficult for me to interpret how much ‘weight’ you were really pulling, versus how much he moved on his own. I know that if I overdo anything, baby informs me as I feel crappy and crampy when I am. I was at the barn on Saturday and although I didn’t lift anything (or ride), I started feeling it when it was time for me to leave. Between the heat and the waddling around taking horses for walks and cool baths, my body knew when to call it quits.

Glad you had a good appointment, Tiger, and that everything is going well! And holy weight loss! :O That’s impressive!

Congrats on becoming an olive, Geogem! And don’t say that – like you said, progress is progress. I love watching everyone’s tickers change, because it’s fun. I’m not a stalker at all, no no no.

Oh no, RJ2, sorry to hear of the infection but glad you’re doing better, and that the baby is fine too! Rest up and hope you’re feeling recovered soon!

Aw Becstar, love the pic! Beautiful! And sorry, I know zippo about nubs so I’m no help there. =(

SCAN TOMORROW! EEEE I cannot wait. 7:30am needs to hurry up already… and I never in my life expected those words to come out of my mouth. ROFL.

Where’s my scan twin(s)?
