from bonfire babies ttc to july bumps due!!

[nb1984]

nb - brilliant news!!! yay!!!!!

Okay I now predict you lil bundle of joy will arrive, on 18 th July - enough time to get settled but not TOO long to get too impatient waiting haha.

Fabulous news, so happy for you both - and the best thing is.. you'll be 9 months preggers and can watch everyone else do the hard work, and you can just supervise lol

xx

Scratch that idea lol - i forgot the your friend goes home on your EDD, so you'll have to move on 12th July and have bubs on my birthday - 13th July lol or even better have baby on 10th and still be in hospital whilst everyone else does the hard work and still bring baby home to your new house lol

Oh bugger I forgot about her!! I have been thinking now that I wanted to go overdue a few days, I tell you what I will be praying for a move date of the 12th, the volcano to erupt on the 15th so she can't fly and me have the baby on the 18th!!

Sorry, I am sure that none of these plans will be very good for anyone else!!

[wannabubba#4]

lol

I' m not taking to the skies any time soon ,so that's fine with me lol..

xx

 

[nb1984]

haha well as long as we don't mess up any pregnant people's plans I am happy with this idea!

One week left at work, eek!

Going for noodles at a local place with some of the girls today, and then have a few lunches spread out over next week, I am hoping it will go fast but I know it won't!!!

Hubby is out tonight to watch the England game so Buster and I are going to my Mum's for dinner, BBQ time! Tomorrow my little sister is out celebrating her birthday, which is on Monday, so I am going to pop along to that for a while, and then Sunday a nice chilled day, hoping the sun will shine and I can sit in the garden but I don't think it looks that fab.

I had seriously strong BH last night, even just wriggling on the sofa was so uncomfortable! Then I got up to the loo and discovered walking really eased it off, should have done that sooner really.

Packages delivered yesterday were my tens machine! And some Humphreys Corner 4 little canvas plaques to go on the wall, still waiting on a few other bits I have ordered this week, and now we know we are moving I can order a wardrobe for the nursery, very exciting!

The changing unit my sister gave us comes from Ikea so I am going to see if they still do a similar design, failing that get something plain and white that will match the Humphreys Corner cotbed we have. We were browsing sofas and things on line last night, I just want to exchange now and then start measuring up for all the things we need!!! EEkk!!

Have attached some pics of the new house! xx

 

[wannabubba#4]

nb -your new house looks gorgeous, I am so jealous -ours is tiny in comparison lol.

I have just had a lovely massage at the community midwife unit and also whilst there I got to speak to one of the team leaders for the home birth team- yay!! she was absolutely lovely, had to tell me of all the horrid things that can go wrong/ reasons why I'd be blue lighted to hopsital etc but otherwise it went really well. She is going to come and visit me at home next Friday and drop off my G&A etc. She did say that they are incredibly busy in mid -end July and therefore she asked if I would mind going into the CMU if it was needed at the time, for instance if they had a couple of ladies labouring in the unit, then they would struggle to send someone out to me. Which I can totally understand, and although I know that everyone is entitled to a home birth with a mw present; I really dont mind going in if that happens -at least she asked me and didn't just say you' ll HAVE to come in, which would have pi**ed me off lol

So I am happy with that lol -need to phone my house insurers and tell them that I'll be storing equinox and oxygen though lol- never even thought of that!!!

And also, she looked at my previous labour history and said oh well we'll not expect a call from you until at least 40 weeks so i'll put you in the book from 39 just incase lol but I doubt it - oh well I can still hope /wish for 38 -39 weeks haha. Any time after 37w+3d little baby cos the G&A will be there then lol.

Only worrying thing is -she said if I phone through the night, my call gets put thorugh to the main hospital and they triage over the phone; if they think my delivery is imminent and no time to arrange the home birth team then they'll send a 999 ambulance. The paramedics then will refuse to cut the cord etc, and will transfer me to the main hospital (even if the birth was straight forward and uncomplicated) to complete third stage labour - I so hope that isn't the case -I'd technically be able to leave again within 6 hours but still -I know what hospitals are like and I know I could end up hours on hours waiting on stupid red tape things like a doc to sign the dsicharge papers etc.

FX'd when the time comes, all goes to plan then lol- although what's the chances ??? lol-at the end of the day, once I have my lil bubs in my arms I s'pose I'll be happy.

Rambled on a bit there didn't I -sorry!!!!!

Nb -yay - 1 more week at work to go
Justm -hope your last day went well
MM- when do you stop for maternity leave??
MrsBB -hope you and Dylan are both well and that he did put on weight at last check.

Hugs to everyone ,it's getting closer!!!!!

 

[mrsbeanbump]

nb- love the bump pics & glad to hear your moving!!! does it all seem a bit surreal now that the plans are now being finalised!? Hope you've got lots of friends and family nearby that you can call on to help you move as the last thing you should be doing is stressing about moving house! You don't want to get high bp as then you might be sat in hospital waiting for baby to arrive so they can monitor you! saw mini shopolic not out til sep!! bit of a tease on that! I did see the movie and thought it was quite cute, but it had been a while since I read the book so I might not have remembered what should have happened from the book. I hate watching a movie straight after reading a book because always tend to be dissapointed as books are almost always better. I started a chapter in Jane Greens 'love verb' last night and seems to be good start. I've not read any tasmania perry or louise bagshaw, will look them up, if you're willing to post them i'm more than happy to send you postage on paypal? are they quite girly reads? I'm into easy reading at the minute, I go back and forth between girly books like jane green/sopie kinsella and crime novels...

As for couple dynamics... its been quite hard on hubby so far, in the beginning in hospital he could only visit 9am-9pm and then had to go home, so that was for about the first week and then he was allowed to stay in the second time in hospital which made it nicer, but he feels a bit left out at the minute as I'm the one doing the feeding etc. Its a strain in the beginning but we've got good teamwork and hubby changes him after I've fed him. We've probably had a bit more couple time as Dylan was in nicu a couple times and its quite nice not having bump in the way anymore during a nice cuddle! It does change dynamic but its a good change and as long as your a good team you'll be fine and the craziness will soon settle into routine

I've not got a wipe warmer, didn't even know they made them! we've stuck to using cotton wool so far which seems to be working quite well. Although I am very stocked up on wipes when that time comes. Dylan has also changed nappy size now! yay! he's moved from micro/size 0 to size 1's now!!! and when he was weighed yesterday he weighed 2.68kg, about 5lb13. Almost at birthweight now!!

about your braxton hicks, I thought i was having braxton hicks when I was actually in labour! you dont have any pain with them do you? or is it just tightening of the bump?

I've been looking at a swing and like this one, what you guys think? https://www.boots.com/en/Graco-Swing-bounce-deimos_1035536/
its a swing and a bouncer! but hubby wants me to look for something on ebay...

went to my first nct coffee morning thing today, 3 other ladies from antenatal classes were going too and then there were 3 other people there. It was quite nice but ended up sitting with ladies from class (who were all suprised when i turned up with Dylan, as I was supposed to be last to give birth! lol) looking forward to going again and its quite nice too as it's only once a month so not too overwhelming.

Well I think we're in for the rest of the day watching football... so maybe will talk later, hopefully I'll be taking a nap soon though! xxx

 

[mrsbeanbump]

wanna- glad you got to talk to the community midwife team and that your in the book at least and they know you exist!! hope you don't have to get paramedics out!

nb love the new house photos! i'm jealous too!

[nb1984]

Evening ladies!

Well I am a football widow tonight but I went to my Mums and she cooked me dinner and Buster came with me so at least he has had a nice evening out! I hate leaving him when he has been on his own all day so we try not too!

MrsBB - We are very lucky that both our families are around, and we have friends falling over themselves to help us, my Mum is an absolute superstar with things like this so I know she will be over all the time helping me to pack when i finish work next week. It feels so odd, and now I am quite sad that I might not bring the baby home here, this is the first house we bought together and you might have seen my facebook photo album of all the work we have done. We live in a village and all our friends are just up and down the road and it has just been so much fun over the last 3 years, we got married here, conceived here, I just always thought the baby would live here for a while too, god listen to me, I am crying now!! Silly hormones!!!

I think my dislike of the Shopaholic movie was that I absolutely love the characters of her parents in the books, and of Suze and I felt all of that was lost a bit, but then you can't really cram 4 books into one movie!

Don't worry about postage at all! I can send things for free from work so take advantage of my last week! Drop me your address on my facebook inbox and I will bring them in on Monday, but they are very easy reading, I am the same with liking chick lit and crime novels, I love Harlen Coben! But that might be a bit heavy going for now!

Thanks for the advice on the couple dynamics, I cannot wait for a lovely cuddle that doesn't hurt my bump! We are really strong, I don't mean to sound cheesy when I say he is my best friend and I am a bit worried about us becoming disconnected so I think we just need to take care not to get too overwhelmed with visitors and take things at our own pace. We are lucky to have family close by but it's going to be a lot of people wanting to come by too!

Last night some of my BH were painful, but on the whole it was just bump tightening and has stopped now but I will bear that in mind! My tens machine came yesterday so I am looking forward to whacking that on if I get any tomorrow to see how I like it.

I really like that swing, is the perfect height for keeping Dylan off the floor! That is great news he is almost back to birth weight, well done Dylan, and you for all that good feeding you are doing!

Wana - thank yoU! I am just so excited that the baby will have it's own room and not just a corner of our spare room!

I am glad your massage went well, and I will be keeping everything crossed that all goes to plan for you in regards to your home birth and none of these blue lights rushing you in anywhere!!
I wouldn't have considered telling my home insurers anything either!

I am 36 weeks today, yay!! The baby is back to giving me some serious poking on the right side and so I think I was either wrong about it turning around or it has switched back!!

Well I am off to watch Greys Anatomy and Private Practice and for a cuddle with the dog, can't believe England drew again!! I suppose Wednesday will be more interesting now!

Justmarried - I hope today was a good day and not too difficult saying goodbye! Did you get anything nice from your pupils?

Have a fab weekend ladies, lots of love to all! xxx

 

[justmarried24]

Phew, think I've managed to catch up with most of the goings on!!
What a mega mad and busy week!!!!

Had such a fab weekend last weekend having the mummy to be massage, lovely food and just relaxing with our friends (we went away with another couple who we have known since school, so its totally relaxed when were together which I love!). It suddenly dawned on me on Sunday evening that it was my last week at work - SCARY!
Well, went to work on Monday and I have had the most emotional week of my life so far (well definitely takes a draw with the week leading up til our wedding)! I have came home with so many presents from my form class and other pupils that I teach. We wont have to buy ANY clothes for about 6 months!! I have been totally overwhelmed by their kindness. I have received cards from parents and students wishing us both good luck with the baby!
So, Friday finally came around and I only actually blubbed 5 times (well 7 really if you count the 2 times to and from work in the car on my own! lol!) Was so emotional at the end of the day, I couldnt even say proper goodbyes......so silly because I am going back and also because I am leaving for something wonderful!! But still, I suppose work is a major part of my life!!
Oh, I went to midwife yday too....baby is great. She is 3/5ths engaged which midwife said could mean anyday now, or also 5 weeks! Lol! So unpredictable this labour malark!! Haha!
Last but not least I had the most amazing baby shower at home last night. My close friends and family are so so so amazing....we had so much fun and baby girl is totally ruined! I was so emotional and overwhelmed!! God, these bloody hormones! Haha!

So, today I am relaxing!!! I'm off to a hen do (meal only) tonight and Andrew is at work (trying to get us extra pennies for when Im off!) so I am going to chill out and then take my time getting ready for tonight!!

Wanna - how exciting for your home birth!!!! Woohoo!!! I am sure things will go to plan, and if not, like you say, as soon as you have your little bubba, you will be overjoyed!!!! Eeee I cannot believe that we will all have our babies soon! And that MrsBB already has the gorgeous Dylan!!!!

MrsBB - hows things going??? Are you still in shock that you have your baby? Saw on your FB that the realisation of a year off work had set in....I guess that was a shock with you giving birth early!! What are the first few days at home like? Difficult, scary???

NB - WOW!! Your new home is fabulous!! It's amazing!! I bet you are so excited! I am so so happy for you that it is all happening, and fingers crossed that bubs can wait until you're a little bit sorted!!! I know what you mean about emotional attachment to an area or a home. Our first home was on the same estate as my family home and I loved having my mum around the corner and loved the fact that I knew all of the neighbours!! When I started teaching at the local sec school we decided that I needed a bit of space from the kids and the parents of the kids that I teach, as I would see them everywhere I went! So we moved house and to a diff area 18 months ago. It is still hard and strange at times, but we have made this our home now, and it is our family home so that means a lot too! We still own the other house and our friends rent it from us, so we can still pop and be reminded of our fab memories!! I'm hoping that once our family starts properly we will get to know people in our new area a bit better....

MM - how long til you finish work??

Right well after my war and peace entry I am going to leave it there! sorry if Ive missed any important announcements or forgot to say hello to anyone!
I am going to have a nice bath and chill out! Might go for a little walk later as Ive been having BH and a walk def helps!!

Have a fabulous weekend lovely ladies, bumps and Dylan!!
xxxxxxx

 

[mrsbeanbump]

Hope everyone's had a lovely weekend! only Nb left this week with work then we're all off on maternity leave! justm, bet your glad you've finished work now and can have some relaxing time before baby arrives!

Its been a busy couple weeks and we're just settling into home life. Have kept visitors away for now and its been a really enjoyable couple days since we've been home from hospital. Dylan has been a star, he's not been crying loads and he's been sleeping for good stretches of time which has given hubby and I time to spend together and time to spend tidying up the house etc. I'm a bit sad thinking he'll be going back to work next monday, he's got an extra week of holiday this week so hopefully we'll go out and do something fun as a family this week! One thing I didn't realize is how much time it takes now to leave the house! Dylan is quite unpredictable with his feeding at the moment, he can go anywhere from 30 mins to 4 hours between feeds, even when I think he's had a good feed, he might want another one soon after! but breastfeeding is going really well at the minute. I'm quite tempted to express and bottle feed sometimes but I'm really scared he'll lose interest in the breast if he gets ebm in bottle.

I'm just really besotted at the moment. Have more love for hubby if that is possible and hearts all full up with dylan too! life with baby is just amazing. Today I saw really preggo lady and felt a bit sad that I should still be pregnant, but on reflection I think I was just a bit sentimental at what a wonderful experience having a baby is and I've had mine now and when you see other people about to go through it too its really special.

nb- your bound to be more emotional now, and moving is a significant life change! and so isn't having a baby! I love packing/moving! I've moved quite a bit in my life but we've lived in the house we're in now for the last five years! Its about time we moved, hubby is in RAF and getting promoted this year so watch this space as we might be moving in the next 6 months, but then again he could get posted on same base so might not move. and when you have baby... feel free to not answer the door or phone! people will understand, its been extra nice since we've kept everyone away and its been just the three of us. Make sure to get some time just the three of you!

Justm- how was your hen dinner? anything exciting planned for your first week of mat leave?

Wanna- how was your weekend?

Well just watching a bit of tv now, dylan fast asleep on my chest (I'm so in love). We're registering his birth tomorrow and then registering him at GP's and sending off child benefit paperwork.. One of the good things to come of this early arrival is that I think he'll be getting his child trust voucher... Then have to go get the car some new shocks (under warranty.. yay!!) so another busy day but we've had a really nice slow relaxing weekend. I love being a family!!

love to you all mummies and bumps!! its almost July, your all in last box!! I bet Donna is next.... no pressure! xxx

 

[nb1984]

Evening ladies!

I am so tired tonight, thinking I might crash soon ready for my last week at work, eek I can't believe it!

Justmarried - I am glad your spa weekend was fab and that you enjoyed your baby shower, I saw your pics on facebook and your little lady got so many lovely bits!

I see my midwife on Wednesday so I am excited to see if I am engaged at all, even though as you say it unlikely means anything is imminent!

Thanks for the reassurance on moving etc, I am so nervous about it yet excited at the same time. I really wanted to get Buster settled in the new place before the baby came along, or at least be in our house long enough that he got used to the baby before moving but I don't think either of those plans are going to work out, fingers crossed he will be ok.

MrsBB - Reading all about what you have been up too with your new little family makes me so excited, and I love the thought of you posting with a teeny baby on your chest! I am totally with you on the BF/bottle issue. I know hubby is going to want to be involved in feeding really early on but I am worried it will ruin it for me, I guess the time will just feel right for us.

Aww don't feel sad about missing your pregnant bump, my heartburn has been awful this weekend and my back hurts and I would love to be cuddled up with a little one right now! I am sure it won't be long until you get to enjoy it all again

I think I need to be a bit stronger and just not answer the phone to anyone! Hubby will be very good at telling people to just leave us be, so I just need to rely on him a bit more and not worry about upsetting people. He is self employed so really can only take a week off work, then I will be needing my Mum and sisters!

Wana - I hope you had a good weekend! I have sent a few more bump pics off to Steph so hoping to get those back, I love the ones you posted in her thread of the Dad holding the baby in his hand, I am def going to try and re-create that too and get in touch with her, she is brilliant!

Right ladies, have a happy Sunday evening, I cannot believe tomorrow is my last Monday morning for a whole year, this is absolute madness!

Nat xxx

 

[justmarried24]

Morning ladies!!
Well, to start with MrsBB - I have just cried reading your lovely post....especially the bit about having so much love for your hubby and for Dylan....how beautiful!! Cannot wait to be the 3 of us in our little family! So amazing!!
I am planning on doing NOTHING at all today! I am going to sit in the garden, read some chick lit (reading The Perfect Man by Sheila O'Flannagan at the min), might take some bump photos to send to Steph after my shower. But I just plan on relaxing! Health Visitor is coming tomorrow so making the most of lazy day today!
NB - my hearrburn is bad too, and keep getting lower back pain. Do you drink milk for the heartburn? I find it really helps, but only short term! I am the same as you about not opening the door thing, I am gonna discuss this with hubby tonight and make this part of his job.....to ask people to give us some space as a family before people visit - good idea MrsBB!
Wanna - hope you have had a nice weekend and you're feeling good!
It's sooo excting that we're on the last box! NB - bet you cannot wait for Friday! It's a surreal experience tho knowing you dont have to work for a year!!! Strange but great too!!
Well, I am off to sit in the garden!!
Lots and lots of love and hugs to all mummies to be, bumps and Dylan
xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Yay for maternity leave Justm -must bring everything closer in your mind now.
Have a lovely day sitting in your garden relaxing - hope the weather is nice for you; it's a bit grey here -mega cloudy, but still warm. I cannot really complain though cos the pasy 4 or 5 days have been gorgeous. Our kids stop for their summer hols end of this week (well the youngest has til next Thurs -he's not going to be happy to know his big bro and sis are off lol ) and it will just be typical if the weather turns now!!!
AND definitley get those pics to Steph, baby could arrive anytime and you'll have lost your chance!!

nb - last week at work woohoo -you must be ready for it by now ,I get knackered doing nothing these days haha, nevermind going to work lol. Have a lovely week ,bet you get spoiled rotten -good for you!!

MrsBB -I am getting increasingly jealous of you as the days go by lol -I want my baby now haha -well anytime after tomorrow I should say really
How's little Dylan sleeping? And still gaining weight I hope !

Militarymummy -how's things with you? Haven't heard from you in a while, hope all is well.

Well ,I am off to do a bit of tidying, after a weekend with a house full of kids, water fights in the garden and muddy footprints lol -keep thinking too, baby could come any time after tomorrow (bloody wishful thinking I know, I am just so sore with the spd these past few days) and I would have mw's in the house -so it NEEDS to be tidy. The kids are now banned from making a mess lol -their friends parents can put up with them all for the next few weeks instead.

ttfn ladies -have a good day whatever you are up to xx

 

[nb1984]

Morning!

My god it feels so odd, but then also not, that I won't be here soon! I have rushed so much to get everything finished that I am at a bit of a loss today!

I have a new girl starting tomorrow who is a student to do some data input for us so that will keep me busy tomorrow morning to train her on the system etc.

I was due to go to Bristol tomorrow to see a client but thankfully have managed to get someone else to go to save me the drive.

Justmarried - Glad you are making the most of your maternity leave, you have the perfect weather! I cannot wait to start now! Hopefully our little ones will engage soon and relieve the heartburn! I hadn't tried drinking milk but I am going to give that a try tonight, it seems to be worse in the evenings for me?

Wana - I am hoping my last week will fly by, I am out on Wednesday morning for the midwife, got lunch with my manager on Thursday and then lunch with everyone from work on Friday so lots to look forward too!

I know how you feel about the tidying, I cannot wait to rip our house to bits and clear out all the rubbish we don't need/use. I am hoping to make a big pile of things to sell on ebay, or perhaps Mum and I will squeeze in another car boot sale before the baby comes!

Anyway ladies better crack on, enjoy that feeling of not dreading a Monday morning!!

xxx

 

[mrsbeanbump]

ooo car boot!! theres a car boot in our village on saturday, lets see if I can get my act together by then! I've got piles of stuff in our entryway that is for car boot and I need to clear it asap as it was/is supposed to be 'buggy parking zone'. I still have more to clear out too, but I'm going to do some on ebay and some in boot sale. but when I do ebay I get so mad at all the fees they take off you! But I'll get more money that way than from car boot.

Its really nice weather here today, been a bit crap at the weekend but i've still managed to get some laundry done! I think i've only got about 2 more loads to do before I've finished it! Registered Dylans birth this morning! no going back now on the name! and then I've sent off my child benefit paperwork and popped into the surgery to register him there.

Thanks for all the love you guys have been sending my way lately. Dylans been doing really well. He sleeps for about 3-4 hours at night before waking us up. I've been setting my alarm on my phone for 4 hourly feeds at night but he seems to wake me up just before for a feed and bf'ing is going really well at the moment and it doesn't take him too long to get full up on milk! so after 10-20 minutes we're back to sleep. He's fast asleep again now, wrapped up in a little blanket on my chest again! I really can't put him down! Hubby weighed himself with dylan today and then without and he wreckons dylan weighs 7lbs now so we'll see on wednesday when health visitor comes.

good luck with the cleaning wanna! hubby had given me permission to get a cleaner for all the stuff I wanted done before baby came, but as I can now get around easier I think the offered expired! but his folks did come over and cleaned a lot of the house the first time we were in hospital.

justm-not really read any sheila o'flanagan but heard of the name... any good?
I drank milk for heartburn, and then I also bought some little tablets 'rennie' I think they were called and they were chewable and those helped.

nb-yay for last monday at work for a year! glad you got someone to cover your customer visit... but training someone is my least favourite thing to do so I wouldn't enjoy doing that tomorrow!

so... football, I've found myself to quite enjoy the world cup, which suprised myself, but its been on while we were in hospital so started watching then, plus I think it helps i'm in a sweepstake at work and the winner gets £270! and I'm not doing too bad on that, plus I also find it easy to block out as well so hubby is happy watching and I could easily watch or fall asleep!

well think we're off for a walk, need to keep the dog happy as think he's been feeling really left out lately. He's licked dylan a couple times and likes to sit near him but think he's a bit depressed at the minute so going to try to cheer him up and make sure he still gets some attention as before now he was our baby!

[justmarried24]

I wish I had some energy to have a huge sort out! We have totally gutted our house over the last 18 months, so I think I am all tidied and sorted out! The garage is a bit of a mess, but I tend not to go in there so think I've leave that to hubby! I have our box of 'paperwork' i.e post and bills that need filed away to sort, but apart from that I think I'm as sorted as I can be at the min!

I love a good car boot, havent done one in a long time tho!! Might have to have one soon! I have just taken some bump piccies to send to Steph - I'll try and attach the 'before' shots on here to show you! Hehe!

NB - the milk really helps me, and mine is def worse at night! I get up 2 or 3 times in the night to have a little drink of milk. It has eased off over the last couple of weeks, but even tho she's a bit engaged, it still comes and goes! Love that I dont have a foot in my ribs anymore tho! That is a definite bonus!! Hehe! I bet this week flies by!! Mine did last week! And you sound like you're gonna have a nice week, especially Wed, Thurs and Friday!!

Wanna - happy cleaning! I hope the nesting instinct kicks in soon!!! Everything is sorted as far as it can be, just need to give the house (mainly the floors downstairs) a good clean! There is some ironing to do, but Ill do that when hubby is watching match tonight!

MrsBB - Sheila O'Flanagan is great. I love her! She is Irish and her books are nice easy reading, with some giggles and some tears at times! I also love Sophie Kinsella, Jill Mansell, Carole Matthews, Adele Parks and Marian Keyes! I am such a big reader! I go through at least a book a week usually!! That's great about Dylan sleeping for 4 hours at a time! Its lovely to hear a successful BF story, hope I have a smooth time with it too as I really want to give a go! Gosh, just reading about Dylan gets me SO excited! Sounds like youre loving it and that things are going really well! Ooooh registering his birth - WOW! Another milestone!!!

Well, Im off to have an ice lolly and hang some more washing out! Even though I said I would do nothing, I thought I might as well take advantage of the fab weather!!

Love and hugs

[justmarried24]

Here are some of the 'before' piccies that I have sent to Steph!
Excited to see what she can do!

[justmarried24]

Tried to add a few more but they're not working!
Never mind! Hopefully Steph will upload the ones she manages to do!
xxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

Aww they are lovely already, even without the magic editing from Steph -cant wait to see what the finished article will look like too xx xx

Haven't managed to get any cleaning done -I have tried to get up ,but it's too sore!!! I have a docs appt this afternoon to get more painkillers ( really reluctantly as its getting so close to delivery and I dont want baby to have any breathing probs etc) but the paracetemol alone are just not doing it just now and I cant just sit here for the next 4 weeks

The thought of getting up to make some lunch is bad enough, nevermind cleaning floors and out cupboards - I'll need to put the kids to work when they get home haha

xx

 

[justmarried24]

Thanks Donna! Took your advice and took them now as you never know when little lady might arrive!!
Poor you being in pain. What types of painkillers will doc give you? Hope they help sweetie.
Def like the idea of getting the kids to sort the cleaning! Good plan!
Hope the pain eases off hun

Only codeine (cocodamol) but I hate taking them but I NEED to get on top of this or how the hell will I even get into my birthing pool?? lol -so needs must.

I try and only take one with a paracetemol, and only at bedtime to try and help me sleep but for the past few weeks have been resorting to paracetemol only, as codeine can cause breathing probs with newborns (in much higher doses ,I should add but still -very reluctant to take them) but typically I have ran out just when I really need them.
