from bonfire babies ttc to july bumps due!!

[mrsbeanbump]

hi all... bfeeding still going well. Bit of a pain at night as I'm getting really tired but I'm getting through. During the day its a lot easier! Went to a boot sale this morning and got a couple wooden toys for Dylan and a weaning book!

I posted somewhere else but you should all check out sainsburys this weekend! really good deals on baby stuff, it was half price lasinoh (usually £10) and half price sudacrem and other nappies /wipes etc. We didn't buy any nappies as we have so many already but I'm really tempted now to go order some more stuff online. I've never shopped for groceries online but thinking if I order just baby stuff and some drink they can't really mess that up and I could get £10 off £50 shop if new customer...

well its LOVELY weather out. Going to do some cleaning while Dylan is sleeping and then maybe put up our paddling pool that I got 1/2 price at argos!

Lori it does sound like contractions!! yay so exciting!! Glad your hubby is not drinking! they all should probably stop drinking now just in case so you don't end up like me driving myself to the hospital 8cm dilated because hubby had been drinking only 6 hours before the journey to hospital!!
Donna- take it easy today... sorry your getting so bored! the end is near!!
nat- did you like greys anatomy last night! we watch here too, so excited for the finale next week, wonder who's going to get killed off! hubby watched preview for next week in slow mo to try to suss it out! Do you have a baby gap near you? I love the baby gap trousers, got some while we were visiting fam in U.S. Enjoying your first day of mat leave? even though its a saturday!

Dylans just over 3 weeks now and every morning I can tell he's been growing in the night, I still have a little tiny baby, but he's starting to outgrow some of his clothes already!! (the clothes he's outgrowing are like 'tiny baby' clothes and he's now in 'newborn' clothes but still!)

love to all have a fab day! xx

 

[justmarried24]

Liz - did the pains come and go for you too? It is a strange feeling and I am starting to think they are maybe just really strong BH?? I have an ache in the bottom of my back too! I dont want to get excited, but I do hope they are the start of something!! Keep knicker checking to see if I have a proper "show". My discharge (sorry if TMI!) has been think and more mucous like for the past few days now, but no tinge of brown or red like all the books say!
Hubby has just left for the races, he is convinced I am going to go into full blown labour while he's out! I mean, it would be something off a film if he had to jump in a taxi from the racecourse to the hospital in his smart waistcoat ensemble! Hehe! Tried to tell him all will be fine!! Still not drinking tho, just incase!!

Well, I have had a burst of energy and did 3 loads of washing this morning. Waiting on the 3rd load drying so I can crack on and try to get it ironed! Energy burst is starting to fade a bit now, so might have a little snooze while I wait for M&S, then I might tackle the ironing!

xxxx

 

[mrsbeanbump]

it came and went for a while which is why I was convinced up until my bloody 'show' that they were just bh! The tightening is what the midwife felt when I was at hospital and is the contraction(I think!), thats when your having the pain too right when its really tight on the stomach? like you can't feel baby's position because its just one big heavy balloon? (by balloon I mean smooth)

I think your having contractions but my one baby doesn't make me an expert... Donna, what you think?

But just take it easy and try not to think about it! as impossible as that sounds. I think I had contractions for weeks and they just didn't get 'intense' every 3-5 minutes until just before labour.

remember... dont think about it! and it might come on quicker! xxx

 

[justmarried24]

Yeah really really tight. Like baby is pushing to come out of my bump! Its a very strange feeling!! My tummy goes solid when I have one!! I'll keep an eye on how many "contractions" I have and Ill now panic until they are close!
Yeah Im just trying to get on with things, my friend is coming round now to sit in the garden for a bit (me in the shade due to how warm it is!!) before we go for pub tea later! It is so warm today! Temperature in my kitchen is 25!! And its quite shaded! Poor dog cant get comfortable! Bless him!
M&S men are here assembling wardrobe so I will EVENTUALLY post piccies of the finished nursery once they are done!! How exciting!!!
Hope everyone is having a nice day!

[nb1984]

Hello!

Thank you for the new look tip, I went there today and got two maxi dresses! One plain black and the other a sort of tie dye pattern, sounds hideous and 90's but I promise it isn't!!

Mum and I then went for a coffee which was nice, she was suggesting girls names for me as she is just desperate to know what we decided! I wish I could think of a few more girls names that I like but nothing is coming to me...any suggestions? Has to sound ok with Bourner!

First day of mat leave has been very nice, haven't done much since this morning but sit with my feet in cold water! Hubby and I are going forna BBQ at my parents tonight and then he is having all the boys over to watch football tomorrow.

Lori this is all very exciting!! My hubby is going light on the beers now just incase! I hope it does turn inti something for you, I think I am right to say it's a full moon tonight!

Liz sorry to hear you're tired but it does seem like you are doing a fab job with the feeding, I hope I have your dedication when I am knackered!!

Donna sorry to rub in how hot it is here but it's nuts, I am so hot and uncomfortable and vie had two showers today!!

Anyway, better go and get ready to go out, still trying to decide if I should use some clary sage or not!!xxx

Hello Ladies

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

Bit of a TMI post this one - sorry lol

I spent a lot of yday in the bath, lots of time with my heat pack and muchous painkillers and felt a bit better (although also a bit drunk ); so managed to persuade my DH to DTD haha -he dooesn't normally need presuading lol but recently with my pain being so bad, he wont come near me. Anyway, upshot was NOTHING!!! -So my lil baby is not quite finished cooking yet I think. Previous pregnancy (the weeks before baby popped) , I was up half the night after DTD due to immense BH pain -really sore, is it?/ isn't it? 'real' labour type pain? but last night NADA!!! :nope

Didn't expect it to put me into actual labour (could hope though!!) but thought if things were getting closer, then I'd have some kind of reaction but nope - disappointing really -although I got the best night's sleep I have had in ages lol

Liz -it is really tiring during the first few weeks, days roll into nights and sometimes I felt I was a milking machine, but it will get easier
Hope you had a better sleep last night x

Lori - back to knicker spotting haha - kind of reminiscent of first few weeks in first tri. At least it sounds like you are gearing up for something -I know it shouldn't take too much to get me going this time being number 4 but ANY sign that I am nearing the end would be nice lol Dont want to dash your hopes but I had weeks of cramps /increasing BH before my first was born -not quite as early as you though, but from about 37 w+ I had several false starts, where I was about to go to /or phone hospital and then it all stopped. BH and contractions are the same thing really -only once labour is established, the contractions become so much more intense and regular. All labours are different though, just read some of the birth stories and some ppl have it so much easier than others -look at Liz lol 8cm before she reached the hospital haha - thats' the way to do it!!

Nat -any word on on your bloods? -if not can only think ; no news is good news' and and has the itching stopped?? Glad to see baby is continuing to grow well from your last fundal height.

Has any spoken to their mw about membrane sweeps? I mentioned it on Fri -and was told 40w + earliest; I want baby fully cooked but it's annoying when I keep reading about others gettting them at 38w etc - so my first sweep will be 14th July lol, if he's not here by then UNLESS I get a consultant appt -as I am sure the doc can either do or authorize it sooner. Although going by my ovulation /probably conception date I had my EDD worked out as the 14th July (LMP had 20th July; scan had 13th July) anyway so maybe baby just needs more cooking and is better staying where he is lol.

Have a fabbie day ladies,bumps n Dylan -how is he and everyone coping with the heat??? We aren't getting it but for everyone else enjoy lol

xx xx

 

[nb1984]

Hey!

Well not a lot has happened for me today in terms of making me think I might go into labour soon! I have had a relaxing day just chilling in my mums garden with a book while hubby had friends over to watch the very depressing England game!

Lori - are you still having the same pains etc?

Donna - sorry to hear that your 'doing the deed' didn't help anything happen, but good that you slept well! We didn't today as hubby said he wanted to watch the football haha! Maybe I can convince him tonight

It's a full moon so make sure you go and howl at it or something like that...!

Mum and I are off to ikea tomorrow to get a wardrobe for the baby now it will have it's own room, yay!

Re the house it turns out they didn't get the right permission to do an extension so they are having to take out an insurance policy while they make the correct application so it's held up our exchange last week, fingers crossed it will all be sorted by Tuesday at the latest as it's all so frustrating now and I know that our buyers are concerned it's not all going smoothly.

Right I am off to cook a burger on the BBQ as I'm really hungry today, going to brave the clary sage later and see if it does anything!

Happy Sunday all, no work tomorrow, yipeeeeeee!xxxx

 

[justmarried24]

Hey girls!!

Just popping by really quickly as we are busy sorting out little lady's room as I have washed more of her clothes today and sorted the wardrobe! I promise to add piccies tomorrow once its all done! It looks so lovely!

Cannot believe England are out of the World Cup - terrible! We're getting a takeaway tonight, my suggestion to cheer hubby up as he is gutted! Deary me!!

Donna - sorry to hear DTD didnt work like you hoped! Maybe trying it again might?? Hehe! I am scared to DTD even tho it might start labour....were both worried, even tho we know it cant harm baby! Stupid I know!!

Having more pains again today, coming and going. I honestly dont think they are the start of anyting major, probs just by body preparing itself....just hope it gets a move on to the real thing sooner rather than later! Hehe!

Nat - I have a HUGE list of girls names on the computer somewhere...I will copy the names over tomorrow! Our current fave is Evie Grace or Grace Elizabeth! Also LOVE Isabella Grace or Annabella Jane!! I have about 20 on the list as there are so many we both like! Gonna be soooo difficult to decide...I am HOPING she just "looks" like a certain name....lots of people say you just "know"! So hopefully that will happen!!!!

Liz - hope Dylan and you are good and that you've enjoyed the nice weather this weekend!

I havent spoken to midwife about membrane sweep, although I am there on Friday when I am 38 + 1 so I am going to speak to her then....hoping they might do one on due date! But I know someone who didnt get one til 10 days over!! Hopefully my midwife will sympathise that my feet are HUGE and I'm not really sleeping!!!

Love and hugs peeps

xxxxxxx

 

[nb1984]

Oh yes please!! Your girls names list would be fab!! For a boy we like either Leo Edward or Olly Edward, I think I like Leo more but not sure!!

For a girl we luke Ruby Alice, that's my middle name & Edward is hubbys middle name. I LOVE the name Isabella too but my cousins little girl is called that and although I don't see her more than once every few years I feel like it might be frowned on! Silly I know.

Donna I forgot to say that I have never asked about a sweep either but I will do on Wednesday and see what the policy is! My midwife is quite old school though so I have a feeling she might say no until I'm overdue.

Lori have your pains been all like period cramps? I just got a shooting stab in my 'lady bits!' that made me jump up out the chair!! Look forward to seeing your nursery pics

[wannabubba#4]

Hi ladies -

Well we have had a lovely relaxing day doing nothing, and my spd feels not too bad too, so may even persuade DH for some loving later -dont think it will do anything baby-wise lol -but god I've missed it recently lol - and he was so pleased when I wasn't in agony today; and infact got my best night's sleep in weeks haha.

Nat - I hope the house sale gets sorted out soon. And yay for more baby shopping tomorrow, have fun. And let me know if the clary sage does anything at all -may be worth getting some. So far today I have had 3 cups RLT and a whole pineapple lol -been bouncing on my ball, and the only way I can get upstairs is to crawl - so plenty of on all-fours action haha; gonna jump DH later too and see if the combo of all these helps haha

Lori - WOW, If I were you I;d definitley be jumping DH -your body sounds as though its gearing up nicely for baby coming, maybe a litle help from DH will be the thing to kick it all off haha -take his mind of the footie too.
Oh and please post nursery pics- cant wait to see what you've done for your lil princess xx

Evie and Grace were both on my girls list too, but if we had a girl I'd have loved to have called her Sienna Lillie; also LOVE Willow but we wanted Lillie as a middle name, after DH 's gran who recently passed and that would be too many ' L' s lol. Oh and also love Harlowe too. Boys name I haven't found so easy - well not true, I had a HUGE list but DH vetoed lots of them haha. At the moment we have Dawson, Callan, Calvin, Ethan, Lachlan on a kind of short list but nothing definite. Middle name will be David (after DH) unless we choose Dawson (cos this means son of David lol) , in which case he'll be Dawson John (after DH's grampa ). My daughter is really fighting for Dawson, she wants to call him DJ lol -which I love too so this could swing it haha. I LOVE Cole -but DH doesn't!

It's been a funny day today weather wise, whilst everyone else is having the hottest day of the year haha - it was raining all morning ,then got really warm but really windy -got three loads of washing dried (saddo me I know, excited about changing the beds lol) - now its really muggy and clammy and absolutely stoating down -feels like thunder type weather -that would be cool; I just love a thunder storm. Needs to be dark though ,to appreciate the lightning.

Anyway, I am off to chase my son to bed, he's playing up a bit cos his bro and sis are off school now and he still has a few days left lol -I should make them go to school , for telling him so haha

xx

 

[nb1984]

Thank you so much! I have left the ones that I like the most for you, and that I think sound fab with your middle and last name...x

Savannah Grace Bennett
Scarlett Grace Bennett
Isabella Jane Bennett
Ava Jane Bennett
Summer Grace Bennett
Annabella Jane Bennett
Millie Jane Bennett
Evie Grace Bennett
Amelia Jane Bennett
Harriet Grace Bennett
Elise Grace Bennett
Ruby Grace Bennett
Keira Grace Bennett
Grace Elizabeth Bennett
Olivia Grace Bennett

Ooh this is so hard, then I went and put in bold my favourites, I think my top 2 would be Millie Jane Bennett and Grace Elizabeth Bennett, that sounds really lovely! I have another cousin called Grace so that's off too for me haha!

My cramps have really worn off today, I had some last night when walking up the stairs but then nothing so rubbing in the clary sage did nothing! I am off to the cash and carry and Ikea with Mum today so hopefully all that walking will do something?!

Mine make my tummy go solid too, but more around the bottom near my pelvis than at the top, its like something is pulling me from both sides! I haven't had anything go into my lower back, yours sound a lot more intense than mine, yay!! Go you!!

Donna - I'm glad to hear your spd has been better, very good news! Clearly doing the deed works well for ya! Sorry to hear your weather is not too fab, it was boiling here yesterday, hotter than Bermuda apparently!! Even with the air con blasting last night sleeping was not too fun, poor hubby is shattered for work today, they are saying we might have some showers today so it should cool it down a little for tonight. I tried to sit in the sun and read a book yesterday but it was just too warm! My hubby works outside and tans SO easily so I look very pasty next to him!

Well ladies, some of this for you all! Apart from you Liz You can have this instead!

Morning Ladies

Well, spoke too soon haha - terrible night with spd, and need to go to my son's school today for sports day -there are two entrances, the first one has about 15 steps and second one has a steep hill. Joys!!! Oh well, sitting about isn't going to make this lil guy come out to see us I s'pose.

Nat -I know how you feel about feeling pasty next to DH -my hubby tans really well too lol; I tend to go a shade of pink then white again haha -typical scottish skin ...and freckles yuk?? Luckily for me he doesn't work outside haha and his shifts at the moment are menaing he has missed out on any sunshine we have had during the week. Poor soul haha...NOT!! When we were in Turkey a few year ago, he kept getting approached by the Turks and being spoken to in their language -they were convinced he was a local haha -whereas they spot me as a Scot a mile off haha.
Have fun shopping today.

Lori- lots of lovely names on your lists -it's really mush harder than you'd imagine pre-pregnancy isn't it? lol Such a huge decision giving someone a name they will have forever. With my other three babies I had names picked (boy and girl) by now; in fact by about 6/7 month I am sure haha -I think we are finding it harder this time due to knowing the sex already -which should make it easier really lol -but it hasn't been at all.


I am so jealous of everyone having holidays just now - my sis is off to London on Thurs, other sis Turkey on Saturday, other sis Spain the following week and most of all my dad - he is booking up to go to Rhodes next week. We got married in Rhodes 2 years ago, and I had been looking at wedding / honeymoon pics and just finished saying to DH how much I wanted to go back, then dad dropped in to say they were gonna book up. Boo!!! I want to go too. And cheek of them all, planning hols and I am about to pop haha

Hope you had a nice w/end with DH and Dylan, Liz -and have a great week -will be strange not having hubby around at first xx xx

Chelsie -last week at work, sure it will fly by and congrats on reaching 37 weeks too now, that's us all 'term' now lol -although most of my mw's are old school too and still adamant term is 40 weeks and not 3 weeks before, and that's that haha

Hope you are still enjoying the nice weather, looks dry here at least -better stay that way or I'll miss out on Ben's sports day
Love n hugs to all mums, bumps n Dylan xxxx

 

[justmarried24]

Well ladies I have had the most restless night yet! At about 9.45 last night I started getting really really bad pains that made me jump and my tummy was solid! Hubby and I decided to go for a walk and see if the pains calmed down. I felt like I was about to poop myself too, and I lost all control of my bladder....was just peeing constantly....on the toilet, then in a pad as couldnt help it! Was awful!!!
After the walk, the pains subsided a bit, but the big pain was coming every 10 mins or so, so we rang mat ward. Spoke to a lovely midwife who said it does sound like the start of labour but as my waters or my show hadnt appeared not to panic. Hubby was running me a bath at the time I was on the phone and she said to see if that helped. Well it did, so by about 12ish we managed to get me comfortable in bed. Pains still on and off all night, didnt get much sleep. They are still there today, but are more managable! I can honestly see me being in the SLOWEST labour ever if they keep coming and going! Haha!!!!
Oh, and probs TMI, but I also woke up with two HUGE stains on the pillows (like and orangey yellow colour) whihc I think is book leakage but its the most Ive had so far!! Had little bit but this was loads!! Wonder if that means anything??

Phew!! Ive just ran myself a warm bath and that will hopefully help a bit this morning!

Donna - sorry SPD is playing up again chic....not long now for bubs tho!! Then the pain will hopefully go! It is mega hard choosing a name! Especially when there are so many lovely ones!! I am the same about holidays at the moment!! My bro has just come back from Greece and he is off to Rhodes in 10 days!!! He better not miss little lady being born! Hehe! We plan on hopefully having a holiday when little lady is about 10 months ish before I go back to work....so that will be something to look forward to!

Nat - sorry I didnt reply to FB email...not long after I sent you the list the "pains" started!! I think Ruby Marie Bourner is nice, or Ruby Isabella?? I know its your cousins little girl, but using Isabella in the middle is ok. I love Ruby but our neighbours 2 year old is called it and they will probs play together so it would be Ruby and Ruby! Haha!
Walking may well move things on today!! Have a nice day!

Well Im off for my bath and then going to occupy myself by doing some more sorting out and taking piccies, so I will be back later girls!!

Love and hugs to all
xxxxxxxx

 

[wannabubba#4]

OMG Lori -sounding really promising now -this type of event occurred to me a couple of times right before baby arrived -think you're gonna be next now for sure

Cant believe our pregnancy journey is almost over haha -been counting down the days all month lol and cannot wait to meet my new baby; but now it feels like the end is nigh, it is kind of sad too. Prob cos it's my last time to experience it all too -the rest of you will be back on here in 2/3 yrs time, bump buddies with number 2 haha

Oh well boohoo, silly preggy hormones at work again; making me a bit emotional!! Bet I cry at school again today (and Wed) if my lil boy Ben wins anything -or even if he doesn't haha.

Keep us updated Lori -if you can; different for me, planning a home birth but I have already instructed DH to keep the lines of communication open on here when I am in labour haha. I am sure that will be the lastthinng on his mind at the time though, or better be haha -he'll prob be too busy playing PS3 lol

Have a good day ladies xxx

 

[mrsbeanbump]

well just spent 20 minutes on the phone trying to request a child tax credit claim pack, I was waiting forEVER! what a pain, and the thing is the phone call will probably cost more than what we're entitled to!

rant over... first day without hubby! its going well, dylan just having a snooze! he sleeps a lot! feeds every 3-4 hours and then sometimes stays awake for 30mins to an hour afterwards just staring! Dog sleeping on floor beside him its so cute! my small tempermental dog I think is becoming quite protective of his little brother!

Lori- yay yay yay! bet your well excited now! I like esme and evie best, and grace! I've always wanted to put Grace in little girls name, but I'm sure by the time if/when we have little girl I'll have a new favourite name! I like Keira too! its such a difficult decision, we only decided on Dylan as we thought he 'looked' like a Dylan and even then we didn't decide for like a day! wanted to be 100%!

Nat- have fun at ikea! hope you get something real cute! sorry your house is being held up, wow its really soon isn't it!

Donna- If I were you I'd get a wheel chair and go up the steep bit to the school!! hehe, but as you said moving around will probably get things going faster than staying still. hope you have a fab time!

Well, I've had a productive weekend of internet shopping! Just waiting for it all to come through now! I bought a babybjorn babysitter chair, a bumboo seat, babybjorn carrier (my third carrier now, think i'm obsessed!), a gro company blind, a mirror for the car to see lo in his chair, and a baby bag. Had fab deals on blooming marvelous, bumboo seat only £20! Now I'm trying to decide if I should go get dressed to go outside today as I'd like to go to sainsburys to stock up on some more baby wipes but tbh I've already got loads and I have trouble resisting a bargain!! I think I should just stay in the house and get things done. I didn't get the chance to 'nest' and I've got loads of stuff to get rid of. Didn't make it to the boot sale to sell (went to buy though hehe), I think I need to make two piles of stuff worth money to put on ebay and another pile of stuff just to send to charity shop or something. We'll see if I get any of that done today!

Can't believe July starts on Thursday, then you can all say you'll have your babies 'this month!' except Lori might be a June baby too! never thought I'd be one! hehe

Well can't wait for you all to experience the same thing! It still gets me a bit emotional thinking about it as it was so lovely!

And I'm really jealous you all can dtd!!! I really want to but had stitches, which I think have healed, but I was thinking of waiting til 6 weeks like they say too... but I'm not sure if I can wait that long!!

well off to be productive while dylan is still sleeping! xxx

 

[justmarried24]

Hey girls....

Well still getting pains on and off but I have managed to occupy myself all morning sorting and ironing (bedding of all things??!!) Think I might actually be nesting now, despite thinking that I had already done it! Haha! Think last night might have made me panic and think "Crap, Im not ready!!" Even though I know theres never a perfect time!!!

Liz - we have a bumbo too, they look really cool! Cant wait to use it!! Glad day one without hubby is going well....sounds like your dog is smitten with Dylan! Hope our dog is the same!! I think I might need to pop to Sainsburys tonight to check out the bargains!!

Donna - emotions are a pain arent they! Mine have been up and down the past few days!! I bet watching your children do things (whether they win or lose) makes you feel emotional without the preggy hormones!! And as you say the end is nigh for us all, which is so exciting but also very emotional!!

Nat - hope you manage to get some bits and bobs when your out and that walking is making things move! We only need one more thing now - a nursing chair for the nursery! Due to the delay of the wardrobe we needed to wait and see how big of a chair we could get! There is a small gap that we could fit one in and Ive seen one in Ikea for £89 so we need to pop there at some point!

Right Ive taken piccies so going to upload them now! Fingers crossed they work!!

Oh, and it is SO SO hot here today!! Poor dog is dying with this heat!!

xxxxx

 

[justmarried24]

Here we go..... little lady's nursery! Love going in and just staring at it!!
xxxxxxx

 

[justmarried24]

Oh, I forgot one!

[wannabubba#4]

Oh Lori your nursery is lovely - well done!!

I'd have loved a nursing chair but just dont have the room for one anywhere.

Just been to sports day -freezing cold but at least the rain stayed off until right at the end, and I was already in the car. My elder kids came to spectate so I left them to collect their lil bro and I went to the car, save getting crushed in the mass exodus lol and just got to the car as it started pouring down haha. Ben came third in his flat race -we all cheered and he glowered at us, wanted to come first obviously lol.

Nat -hope you had fun shopping
Liz -glad you and Dylan are getting on so well, sounds like the perfect baby

xx
