January Jellybeans 2013!...

Kaiecee - yum yum!

I never really thought about circumcision. I don't think it's as common in the UK unless it's for cultural or religious reasons & I don't really know the pros & cons.... My dad recently mentioned out of the blue that he was circumcised... just laughed, changed the subject & tried to put that picture out of my head!

Is it something you've decided about?

 

[La Mere]

La Mere - Enjoy the film. Hope you have tissues! In relation to your question about killing the thread, I don't think you should worry... Think it just depends what everyone is doing & whether they've gone offline. Sometimes I mean to post a reply, but then by the time I get a chance (what with DS & appointments etc) everything has moved on!

Thank you, Blossom! you girls have made me feel better.

 

[Lilahbear]

I just realised that I don't think I have posted a bump picture on here. So here one is - 27 weeks & 4 days. Please excuse the grubby mirror!

 

[La Mere]

If we have a boy, we will have him curcumcised. A lot of people would probably think me a horrible mom for wanting to have my boy curcumcised.

Adorable bump, Lilah!

We are circumcising. Daddy's call on that one.

curcumcising is actually a very sensitive subject. Alot of people think its cruel... But hubby is curcumcised and says he doesn't remember a thing about it.

I think that in the long run it has more benefits... when Dr explained it hubby was determined to yes and yes, and yes. He also is circumcised so haha

 

[Lillian33]

Definitely feel that too LaMere - especially being in a completely different time zone!!!

Such lovely bumps Sassy, La Mere and Lilah, I love seeing us all grow

Big for your angel Melly.

Sonia I think you will definitely have to wait until closer to your xmas party to decide, you might be feeling amazing (fingers crossed) and go with no problems at all.

Deedee thanks for that scrumptious picture and Kaiecee for sharing all the treats youre backing, so delicious I want lunch now and it's only 10.40am - plus I have my GTT test today so no food for me waaaa!! I can dream though ha ha!

Nearly the weekend woohoo!! xxx

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Ooops, sorry Lillian. How awful on a day you can't eat!

 

[DittyByrd]

I am laying here on the sofa relaxing after an active day and I feel like my heart rate is up. It's not the first time I have noticed my strong pulses and heart rate. My resting HR is 96 bpm. I have no symptoms of preeclampsia. From what I read, this increase in HR is secondary to increased circulating blood volume.

Just curious, do you know what your resting HRs are?

 

[BlossomJ]

I just checked mine Ditty & it's 78. Not really sure what it should be though? I know my last blood pressure check was 108 over 50, but again I don't know what that means!

 

[BlossomJ]

Ditty -I just read that your resting heart rate typically increases between 10-20 bpm during pregnancy, so I don't think yours is too much of a worry x

 

[sassy_mom]

Whew! Just caught up ... I go away for an appointment and I miss 6 pages.

Doctors appt went really good. They did check me as I've been having watery discharge and for the last two days I've been very crampy but they said all was fine. She measured and said it was perfect. She also my glucose test was fine and my blood work looked great. Then she tried to get the heartbeat and Chloe kept rolling away from the machine. We did finally get to hear it but she was fighting the doctor. They did make sure I was resting enough and drinking water as they have me on a preterm labor watch because of all the braxton hicks I've been having. I think my blood pressure was at a good level. She didn't really tell me but I heard something over 70. lol! So I know that part is good. I'm so glad everything is going along good.

Betheney - DH loved hearing about all you told me about Australia. He thought is was crazy that there is Elvis memorabilia in your steak houses. He couldn't believe that Fosters really isn't as Australian as they play on the commercials. lol!

Kaicee seriously with all this cooking I'm coming to your house. I bet the donuts were delicious!!! I'm glad they worked out after all that time. I'm off to eat some delicious cilantro lime chicken tacos and fideo. Sooooo hungry!

 

[Kaiecee]

With my first 2 boys dad wasn't circumcised so I left it up to him so we didn't now dh isn't circumcised but I did look into it and I was watching ricki lake so what one dr. Said was if people knew exactly how to take care of an intact penis then he will have no more problems than a circumcised one so I think we're going with no circumcised just like daddy but I don't think doing it is bad either it's just a choice but I have a hard time watching my kids get vaccinated I couldn't watch that being done and again it's just my choice not saying that if u decided to do it it's wrong

 

[Lillian33]

Ooops, sorry Lillian. How awful on a day you can't eat!

Ha ha dont be silly, im happy just looking at this point, give me another hour and ill be chewing on the chairs at the hospital ha ha ha!

 

[Betheney]

La Mere - Thanks for your earlier compliments on my bump pics!!

As for people not replying once you post, i honestly think it's just coincidence. I have never avoided a specific persons posts. I do avoid certain topics though, i avoid the ones that i disagree with and don't have anything positive to say. I don't want to cause conflict or an argument, especially in a thread where we're all going to be hanging around for a while, it's just better to keep the peace and keep my opinions to myself. I also feel alot of the time i come across as a know it all because i have already done this once before, so even sometimes when i know i could probably reply i think "oh they don't want to hear me say yet AGAIN how i did with Eva" so i randomly avoid some convos just so i don't come across as a know it all, all the time. But i don't choose a specific persons or anything just if i've already posted alot that day i think "oh they don't want to know what i have to say, i've talked too much already" lol. You also have to remember with all of us in different countries alot of the topics don't apply. I couldn't really join the topic about 'The debate' in the US the other day, or various health care topics from different countries. Quite alot of topics come up that don't really apply to me because i live in Australia.

In the early thread days i found no one commented on my bump pics or even "thanked" them. I was paranoid for weeks that you all hated me. Now i get lots of lovely compliments and i realise i was probably just being a bit paranoid.

I didn't even see you asking about circumcision, so didn't avoid that topic intentionally, although TBH i probably would have. lol
