January Jelly Beans 2014!

[hakunamatata]

Wow!!

I took infant and adult CPR and first aid in January. And I know Live just took it too. Hope it all comes back to me if I ever need to use it.

vtjess I'm watching cars with my little guy right now. I'm almost embarrassed to say this but got a little teary at one point, hormones must be going wild!!!

Oh my hormones were on overdrive earlier.... trying to find a dress for a semi formal function on Saturday and no where had anything in store.. all online ordering BUT I didnt have time to order I was sobbing... though was quickly restored when I did find a dress and had to change it for a whole dress size smaller

PS - I cried at that film when Im not pregrant

 

[Megan252]

That makes me feel so much better...cause when I said "at one point" I really meant at several points. That's exciting you found something a size smaller! That's always a good thing!!

I got emotional watching a recent episode of the Office!! Angela was practically homeless and Oscar offers her a place to stay. Then she holds his hand.

My hubby taught CPR as well and keeps promising to teach me but he still hasn't done it yet, though I did go with him to teach once. Luckily I haven't needed it and he is usually around but I'd still like to learn officially.

I hope your little guy is enjoying it! I know mine does. I can understand your homones making you cry. I was watching something with the hubby the other day and I started crying and he was looking at me like I was crazy. Can't remember what it was though. But sad/sappy things make me cry when I'm NOT hormonal.

hi can i join to! Im due around 12th january 2014! Had 2 previous miscarriages one in august 12 and a 13 week loss in january 2013 which almost cost me my life to.

For those of you who this is baby number 2 or more...at what point did you need to purchase maternity clothes? It's so early still but I keep seeing really nice things on sale and I am so tempted.

Yes I have my 2nd instalment next Tues. its for work that I need it but its definitely good to have with having little one's around. Although at work, adrenaline kicks in and you just get on with it (ive done broken arms, noses, knocked out teeth- lots of blood) and been fine but when Em fell face first outside at nursery, split her lips, teeth through her tongue, i cried my eyes out! im a panic when it cones to Em xx

I'm the same way with my son. Whenever he's hurt, it's all I can do not to cry! Luckily my husband is the calm one and knows what to do! All I can do is stand there in shock and try not to cry myself.

I'm definitely not the one to ask for this one. There were some pre-pregnancy clothes I was able to wear right up until I gave birth. I only gained about 10 lbs with my son and probably could have gotten away without Maternity clothes. But I wanted to wear them so others would KNOW I was pregnant! I got maternity clothes for christmas and started wearing them then...which would have made me about 5 months along. But like I said, I'm not sure I actually "needed" them at that point though while most of my pants fit, they were a little tight and pushed against my belly so the maternity pants were just more comfortable!

Back in February I was carrying Ani down the stairs. I was so tired, and I missed one of the stairs in front of me. I fell and dropped her. She tumbled down about 6-8 stairs and landed on her back. She was crying immediately - that part was actually good because she never lost consciousness. A small voice remembered in 1st aid that a crying baby was a good sign. Her poor face was bloody. I picked her up (not smart if she had broken something but I instinctively did it) and called 911. EMT's came and assessed her, thought she was okay but brought us to the hospital just to be sure. She was monitored for 4 hours, and they were confident that she would be okay, however I had to check on her every few hours to make sure she woke up in case there was a concussion. She ended up with a lacerated upper gum because her lower teeth had just come in. Her upper lip swelled up and she looked like a duck. Then it scabbed and she looked like Hitler with a tiny scab mustache.

I felt SO awful. I was so scared. Worst day of my life. But the EMT's, doctors, and nurses really helped my baby, and helped me hold it together.

What do you do for work?

 

[live_in_hope]

Im a Nursery Nurse in a school (im a Teaching Assistant really but as Im working with the youngest in the school, what we call the Foundation Stage, or 4+'s then Im a nursery nurse as Im trained in Early Years Education. So having paediatric first Aid is part of my job and my F.aid expired whilst on maternity leave last year so im renewing it, not by choice mind you. xx

Hi!

I've just found out today that I'm expecting a January jellybean. No idea when exactly but I suspect I'm about 5/6 weeks which would give me a due date of about the 12th?

Eat some activia yogurt and prunes

Sorry about the crappy evening. Or rather your crap free evening

 

[live_in_hope]

thanks! Ill be going to bed with a smile on my face now! Hubby and my sister have just ordered a pizza and are drinking wine! Im off to bed in a grump! Lol. The cheeky buggers! Xx

 

[Megan252]

Welcome Laura! Congrats!

Agree with Hakuna on the activia and prunes (gross, i hate prunes). It really works!

Oh my gosh Hakuna that must have been so scary. Glad you and your little lady were fine. I remember when my guy was really little I slipped down the bottom two stairs in the middle of the night. I didn't actually fall but my heart was in my throat!

I'm trying to remember when I started wearing maternity clothes the first time around...it must have been around 18 weeks maybe? I tried to use the bella band for as long as I could. I do remember when I finally gave in and bought maternity pants I was SO much more comfortable. I have a feeling this time around I'll be in them a lot sooner. My pants are already too tight
