Congrats on the new weeks ladies x

Acorn - sorry to hear about your little one hope she starts to feel better soon x

I'm sorry your daughter is still sick, acorn. I always hate seeing little ones ill. I can understand your plight with a small kid. My son has always been on the 5th percentile for weight as well. He seems to just follow that line though so our doctor hasn't been worried. But I'm sure if he were sick and loosing weight they wouldn't be happy either. So I hope she starts getting better soon!! Congrats on passing your GD test. That's always good news.

I have no idea the position of my little guy either. He still seems to move and flip around alot so I'm sure even if he is head down right now he can still turn. I'm going to have a growth scan in a few weeks so I'll find out for sure then. I hope your little guy ends up heads down so you won't have any issues during labor.

Acorn,

Acorn hope your dd feels better soon. It's awful seeing your child ill. My ds is very slight of build too so if he doesn't eat I'm sure it would be a big concern. When he was younger he was in hospital two days with a gastro type bug,he couldn't even keep water down and he was so listless and just laid there. It was distressing. Luckily I think children are pretty resilient and bounce back

Jess, hope you don't have any more episodes. I don't know what it is but since I hit 3rd tri I feel like more smells are bothering me again and making me feel sick and like gagging.

Is anyone else struggling with mornings? This week I've just not felt well at all when I wake up. I've had headache most days for about 3 weeks and have been feeling sick and just generally urgh. Sometimes I feel bit better as the day goes on but it's a struggle. I found it hard to eat yesterday cos I felt that sick.

On a plus note it's another new week for me! these weeks keep rolling by x

Hope everyone is doing ok

Well been to meet my diabetic consultant and she seems lovely. She is happy with my blood glucose levels so far and not putting me on medication yet as they seem quite stable except when I try something different but got to try otherwise I would never know if I can or cant eat it. I asked about being induced and she said if normal sized baby will induce between 38 and 40 weeks and wont let me go over 40 weeks but if I have a bigger baby like peanut is and/or on medication then big posibility they will induce me before 38 wks to reduce any risk of her getting stuck or other complications during birth so she could be here by christmas but final desicion on that is upto my gynae consultant so will be asking what he thinks a week on Tuesday when I next see him. I have a scan same day so looking forward to seeing peanut again.

OHs Mum took me and we were both sat watching my belly as peanut was moving around and kicking she definitely getting active. Some days more than others

Happy 29 weeks Del !!!!!

Acorn hope you lo gets better soon

Wrighty glad your getting an idea of when you might give birth I'm going to ask today when is the latest they will let me go we might end up being induced the same day

Afm even though I'm on bed rest am still only getting about 5-6 hours of sleep a night. My hubby goes to bed at 10 and I stay up until 1-2 am sometimes later then up by 5:30 where I move to the couch and lounge ll day

On a good note I'm going to learn how to crochet I'm so excited I have an u/s today to check Ivan again so stopping by the store to pick up my starting supplies so excited . My hubby said he'll check my progress when he gets home LOL he's trying to motivate me to keep me occupied

 

[vtjess423]

Happy 29 weeks, Del! Sorry you've been struggling lately! I hope you start to feel better. It takes me a bit longer to get out of bed in the mornings as I just want to sleep more but once I'm up, I usually feel fine despite this cold I've been nursing for over a week now. Ugh. Colds stink! LOL

Glad everything is looking good for you wrighty! I hope you keep it up and can stay off the meds.

Good luck with learning ot crochet, Lucy. It can be fun. I learned how to crochet in middle school and got pretty good for a while, though I never completed a project. I ended up getting side tracked by other things at the time. I tried to pick it back up a few years ago and even started making a blanket. But again I never finished it. I still have all the stuff though so maybe I should pick it up again. I seem to get these itches to do something creative and then I just end up dropping it for no real reason. I think I'm just a slacker. LOL I'd love to be more creative so I should just pick something and stick with it for a while - at least until I'm complete something.

 

[Delamere19]

Thanks for all your congrats everyone!

Great news that you might be able to find out your date for giving birth Wrighty. Also nuts how close it is!

I would love to crochet. I did once learn how to knit (kind of!) My mum tired to show me but she really struggled as I'm left handed so it all looked backward to her

Just been for a walk in the park to blow away the cobwebs. Its a lovely autumn day here but I have to say 20 mins is enough for me atm. I'm pooped when I get home. Just sat down with a warm drink and I'm thinking of watching a xmas film and looking for gift ideas. DS is happy playing with his play doh at the minute so trying to take advantage. He's truely obsessed with the stuff at the mo!

Thanks ladies

Del - I know could be meeting my little girl very soon exciting but all so very nervous lol need to get a few things sorted now ready just incase i do go earlier lol xx

Jess - Thanks me too. I seem to be doing well with the diet and they dont seem cncerned with the odd high result which is only when im trying something new which isnt actually that often x

Lucy - Yes we could be induced same day Fingers crosed Ivan gets to stay in as long as possible x

 

[Lucy529]

Jess I learned how to make scarfs using those loom things a long time ago couldn't do one if I tried now. I looked on you tube and found some easy ones, my hubby said I will be more motivated bc it's for our son even looked at some booties but one thing at a time LOL

Del glad you got out for a bit, I take full advantage of my drs apts. LOL yay !!! that your able to relax a bit while your son is occupied hope it lasts

@Del, I've definitely been more tired lately, sleeping in a bit. Yesterday was my birthday, so I rewarded myself by coming home and taking a nap. Woke up 2 hrs later! I've been sleeping through the night okay, usually getting up once to take some TUMS and get the acid back down, but I can still make it til about 6:30 without peeing as long as I go right before bed. Headaches in the morning as well, nothing too severe, just enough to make me feel like a lump.
@Lucy, I hope you enjoy crocheting, I LOVE to knit and have only been doing it just over 2 years and have made a TON of stuff. If you're not already on Ravelry.com, I highly suggest it. Tons of free patterns and lot of examples. I'm in the middle of making a toy for out little one now- I had hoped that I would finish it around the time we found out the gender, so that I could switch to a sweater or something once we knew, but that was 10 weeks ago and I'm still not done with the blasted toy! It's a stuffed log (her room is forest themed) and I'm making all the little critters as finger puppets to go inside. The log was a free form pattern, which was MUCH slower than a repeated pattern because I had to really pay attention to what I was doing instead of just mindlessly following directions. So far she has a little squirrel and bunny to live inside. Still need to do: Mouse, Raccoon, and Fox. Feel like there was another one, but it escapes me at the moment... prego brain. If you go on Ravelry, you can find me there as neuronerd. I have nice turquoise yarn to start a little cardigan as soon as my animals are done.

Wrighty once they give you dates your like "oh crap, am I ready ?" LOL at least that was my reaction. I keep thinking of how this is going to change my relationship with my hubs, we're so excited but I'm also a bit scared bc now there will be a little human depending on me but I'm totally in amazement (still) that there's a baby in my tummy LOL

I still think it's someone else's tape being played on the monitor, you would think after all these u/s and now getting them twice a week I would be over it but nope maybe once he's here at home it will hit me that he's mine

 

[Lucy529]

Melann thanks will def check out the site. I'm so excited to get it started and with all my free time I might be able to get things done

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY !!!!!

Strange to think instead of 9 weeks could meet peanut in 7- weeks im so excited and a little nervous. We are not ready although we do have most the stuff for peanut i need things for hospital bag and we still need to sort peanuts wardrobes out and wash her clothes lol sure we can get it done in the time we have lol but really doesnt seem that long lol

Happy Belated Birthday Melann

 

[Delamere19]

Belated Happy Birthday Melann!!

We still have jobs to do. It's hard cos OH works Mon to Fri so it's weekends. I think cos he's tired he feels a bit like I'm nagging but I'm starting to feel like I am really wanting to start sorting things. It doesn't help that we have just found a few damp patches in our bedroom. We had these issues last year but we got some insulating paper and it made such a difference with the room feeling warmer but alas the damp seems to be returning. Luckily we rent so the landlord will be paying but it's just another thing that needs sorting out. Maybe it's the nesting but I feel like it all gets on top of me sometimes and I want to put a rocket up my OH!
