[pops23]

Bump looks lovely and happy 32 weeks!

Thanks re nursery, I'm so chuffed with it!

Going to order tumble dryer tomorrow and once that comes will wask all of baby's clothes, done cot quilt and bumper and moses basket bits but may end up doing them again

Such a good idea re filling the freezer with meals, I'm going to get on the case in the last few weeks I think!

Sarah - she is out of line, don't be afraid to say so, Logan belongs to you and Neil, and Neil can bond with him however he wants! My hubby loves star wars so would want t do the same xxx

Ally, she is actually more his friend than mine. Its a couple that he has known for a good few years now, I only met them when I moved to Sunderland to be with Neil. Her partner is lovely, such a nice bloke but she is the same with him. So under the thumb its unreal, she mummies him fair bad sometimes.

Were lucky in the sense that we dont really have a great deal of people up here that would be bashing down our doors to see Logan, the majority of our friends and family live elsewhere and not just a 5 min trip away but I can see ourselves having to be very firm with her, and I fully intend to be. Its a huge event for us having a baby, especially as Logan is a surprise so its going to take some time for us to adjust as a family and id really rather do that alone.

Supposed to be seeing her tonight so I think I will try and mention about the stuff to her, say that were trying to sort things now so we could really do with having it here and ready to set up.

Pops, the very second I hear anything criticizing the way in which Neil chooses to spend time with Logan when hes here come from her and ill likely flip. Like I say, its such a petty thing for me to bring up on here regarding the Star Wars thing but its the only real way I could get across what she is like with some things. Im not a fan of Star Wars but if it means that our son is spending time with his daddy, then im very very happy with that!

I was like that yesterday Ally! I started out marching my way through town, as time went by, the waddling set in and then by the time I was on my way home I was at a snails pace walking like id pooped myself! Good times lol

You have every right to be proud of that nursery! It looks amazing

Also, thought I would be brave and post a bump pic from today...im huuuuuuuge lol!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Pops your nursery is so lovely I was going to do the girls room up but think I'll wait until we are in our new place and they have a bedroom each!

Sarah, you don't look huge at all!

 

[Sarahcake]

To be fair, and I am by far my own worst critic, your right, in that particular picture I dont actually look as big as I am which is odd! I was huge in comparrison to the 37-38 week ladies however at ante natal class this week!

 

[Scally]

Sarah- lovely bump picture! you are not huge at all!

Its strange how she is more his friend than yours, by the way you were talking i thought she was clingy to you and jealous of him!

[kellie_w]

Wow Sarah, I don't really know what to say about your friend, I'm kind of lost for words! Just find it weird that she will give you bits when she sees fit, how she assumes that she will be having Logan overnight and the star wars thing is just plain bizarre! I can def see that you or Neil will flip eventually at her if she carries on like this. Your bump is so lovely Sarah, well done for being brave! It looks just like mine, only I'm not brave enough to post a bare picture of mine! has your belly button popped yet? Mine keeps popping out then next day it back in again!

Lauryn, your bump is lovely also! And I still don't think your bmi is justified, you look so small!

Time, get your bump picture on!

Ally, stop doing these long walks lady! You are amazing that you can still do 5 miles but need to slow down soon! If you ever get stuck, I'll come and pick you up!

 

[Sarahcake]

Thank you I feel it though haha!

Yeah I guess I do give off that kinda feeling dont I, but nope, she was his friend first and is in fact, really clingy to him. She refers to him as a brother rather than a friend, I think this is why she feels like she can have more input on things than she actually will be having.

Just saw your post Kellie! Yeah one of us is going to loose it very shortly with her...Neil is the type that will rant on about her to me, but not actually say anything! That will be left to me, hes a big wuss really!

Aww thank you I couldnt not post a bump pic after you ladies we so brave! You guys look fantastic! I had to take a bare bump one as the top I was wearing you couldnt really see it properly! My belly button is kinda half in, half out and its really strange!! I dislike belly buttons at the best of times but im really freaked out by mine now! One side of it sticks out, the other side is its normal innie-ness (totally a word) if I lay down though and laugh or something the whole thing just pops out and bobs around!! Really strange!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Thanks Kellie

Ally you're crazy walking 5 miles! I wouldn't do that whilst not pregnant, never mind a few weeks away from being full term!

 

[Scally]

I would freak out totally if my belly button popped, I hate belly buttons and if it stuck out I'd have to put a plaster or something over it!

I am 34 weeks today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This week has gone so fast!

x

 

[ttc_lolly]

that's so funny! Mine hasn't popped, didn't last time either. It just stretches really big!

Happy 34 weeks Ally! 3 weeks until full term!

I have awoken today to leaky nipples. Fantastic! Best of all... Haven't bought any breast pads yet I've got to take Amber to her ballet lesson soon, so going to have to stick some cotton wool pads down there and hope for the best!

 

[Scally]

Haha! Oh dear about leaky nipples! You got a boots or anything near? Time to invest in some i think!

I had a little wave of panic this morning, I saw that i had 42 days left, so thought probably about 35 with c section, and i just got a little nervous and panicky about it all! I am so desperate to meet her, but as it gets closer I cant keep in denial about the birth and coping with two! lol

x

 

[kellie_w]

Happy 34 weeks ally! Feel a bit disappointed that with your c section you will be out of hospital before I go in, was really hoping to be in with you!

I keep getting that panicky feeling. So much is going to change again, going to need eyes everywhere! I'm still worried about nights, being stuck in with the bad weather, pnd...

Oh no to leaky nipples Lauryn! Hope the cotton wool works! X

 

[Scally]

You never know Kellie you might go into labour early, or they might schedule my c section later!

I keep thinking I have done this before so know what to do but then I add a toddler into the mix and panic again! lol. I cant see me getting out of the house with two, but really want to try to as Izzy always needs that fresh air! But the weather will suck! Do you have many family and friends around you Kellie?

x

 

[kellie_w]

That's exactly how I feel, I will need to get out the house so the snow fills me with dread. Like izzy, Luke has to get out or else go insane! I planned to keep all his garden toys out so I could bundle him up and just throw him out there to play but our cats have decided to start pooing everywhere again now it's getting colder so that's out the window. I found the first time difficult, having a baby wasnt as easy as I thought but I did get through it and will again. I don't have many friends, the ones I do have either have no children or older children or work. I am really shy too and struggle in group situations so I failed at baby groups when trying to make new friends! The ones round here were far too clingy. I see my mum mainly, every afternoon nearly during the week. she is amazing and we look after each other. What about you ally? Have you met many people since moving here? X

 

[pops23]

Happy 34 weeks ally!

Boo to leaky nipples, mine don't look as if anything could ever come out of them! He he! Xxx

 

[Scally]

Kellie- I have finally made a friend here but it has taken so long, my family live in Clacton but i dont see them from one month to the next! Lovely how you get to see your mum alot, hopefully she can help lots! I struggled with Izzy, she was such a high needs baby i hope this one isnt the same! The groups round here are nice, but few and far between! I have just started going to another one but i am only brave enough as i go with other people!
You are very welcome to play dates here if the weather permits, i am sure the road from Colchester should be good most of the time seeing as its such a main route! I am sure Izzy and Luke will keep themselves amused! We should definitely meet before the babies come but trying to think where, as Izzy isnt very good in the play centres on her own she wants me to go with her which means we'd get no chance to talk! lol

[Sarahcake]

34 weeks ally!! Wow! It's about now that the panic is setting in for me too! What If I'm terrible at this, what if lack of sleep gets the better of me, what if I don't feed him enough etc! Seems really wierd but I want him here with all my heart, but I can't picture him actually being here, in our home yet! Think it may be because we have nothing baby wise put up right now. I hope I can cope! But then, I say that and I've got some right dodgy characters on my Facebook that have like 3 kids at my age who seem to be doing ok so I'm sure ill be fine lol

 

[Scally]

Haha! You will cope Sarah! I keep thinking that when i see people with loads of kids and think if they can do it I can!

We need to keep this thread going after the babies are here so we can come on and write everything and anything!

x

 

[Sarahcake]

Definitely agree with that! I'm going to need somewhere to type my crap as I'm night feeding for the 8billionth time that evenin haha!

Every time I see this thread title I just think omg, we all joined when we were what? 16-17 weeks ish as we had about a months wait until our 20 week scans! I'm literally amazed at how fast pregnancy has gone by for me, I pictured myself bein pregnant forever yet here I am, 4 weeks from being term! Eek!

 

[Scally]

It did seem so far away when we started talking on this thread, my god the 20 week scan seemed so far away! It feels like i have been pregnant forever, but in another way its gone so fast!

I think this time i can be more honest with you guys on here, i struggled so much with Izzy but there was nobody or nowhere i could turn to to let off steam or to tell people how it really is, if that makes sense, you are so worried about people judging that you pretend everything is great! lol

You know my SIL and my friend had their babies on the same day (now just over 2 weeks old) they are having such different times of it, my SIL's baby only wakes once a night for a feed, my friend's baby wont sleep at all in the moses basket and sleeps on them all night, has colic and is feeding all the time. Its amazing how different babies can be!
