January Jellybeans 2013!...

[AJThomas]

At the end of the day we love our DHs to bits, I just think we're at the stage where we're over the peeing, nausea, discomfort, leg cramps etc. And just generally miserable. This too shall pass.

 

[darkstar]

I just spent 5 hours walking around with my Mother shopping and buying groceries and running errands. Got heaps more stuff for the baby.. think I'm almost done now and just need to start thinking about stuff for the hospital bag etc. Oh boy am I am sore though, my feet feel like they're going to drop off and I started having a few braxton hicks.now I have an hours rest before we drive back into town for our first antenatal class. It will interesting.. I haven't been to an antenatal class for 16 years 0.0

 

[Lillian33]

Hey girls! Have fun at antenatal class darkstar! We start next week!

Betheney, such good news, glad today's testing went well! Rest up though

Nikki I'm so sorry you've been so sick that sucks.

Els, rest up & keep baking that LO!

Brieri, so glad the first part of your move went well.

Got a beautiful gift in the mail today for my 30th, a gorgeous Mimco nappy bag, another thing off the list!!

xxxxx

 

[Betheney]

It's a new day here and it went crap. lol

So I left hospital last night

Had another routine check up this morning, doctor asked if i've felt much movement, i said "no not really but i've only been awake an hour and i have been really busy trying to get here so could quite easily have just not noticed" and she's like "oh no no no, i'll send you to hospital for monitoring" so i spent all day in fucking hospital!!!!

i got home about 5pm.... so my whole day was gone and i was pretty upset as i haven't had a full day with Eva since Monday and i really wanted to go out for lunch and just spoil her at a play centre because she's in daycare tomorrow as i have more fetal monitoring at the hospital.

So i'm a little sad at the moment

 

[Soniamillie01]

Betheney - sorry to hear that you had to go back for more monitoring, hope baby is ok?

Sorry to still be AWOL, I just can't seem to find the time to get online at the moment, work is less busy but I now have my 12 yr old sister here for half term, which is lovely don't get me wrong but I just want to curl up and hibernate! He doesn't live near me so is lovely to see her. I start my ante natal appointments next week and have another growth scan next Friday so a busy week all in all baby wise. I now have like two appointments a week so the next few weeks are going to fly by I know it.

Strange question but does any body else still feel really like not ready/not pregnant? On the one hand I know we are ready I.e if he arrived early we'd be ok, but then on the other hand I sometimes don't feel pregnant and then he kicks and I'm like oh hello you just weird. Maybe it's just me x

 

[BlossomJ]

Nikki - Get well

Betheny - Hope you get to spend some quality time with DD soon. You've had a pretty rotten week & deserve a nice day doing what you want!

Sonia - I'm a bit the same as regards not feeling ready or even pregnant some days. I'm sure you feel it more so as you're so busy! I think it's just that we have other things on our mind & the baby isn't our main focus. I think that's the difference for me compared to last time around with DS anyway.

I'm hoping that towards the very end it'll become more of a reality & that she doesn't turn up before then! But I guess when the more regular appointments kick in it will also be brought to the front of our minds.

For me I'm starting to get a little worried that I won't bond with the new baby as well as with DS as I feel so differently this time. It sounds really awful, but I can't imagine loving it as much. Is that weird or something other second time mums worry about too?

 

[duckytwins]

I can't really answer on the topic of second baby since our first and second came at the same time. I can only imagine as soon as you see baby, you can't help but give it as much love as you can!! Then everything falls into place.

Lillian, is it your birthday??? Happy birthday!!


Betheney, I'm sorry you are so angry about being in the hospital, but in the end, it's better to be safe than sorry, I suppose. Do what you can to help this LO along and it will all work itself out.


AFM, it's 515am and I woke up about an hour ago with terrible hip pain and heartburn. Instead of trying to fight it and lay here, upset that I can't fall back asleep, I decided to prop myself up and see if I could tire myself out. The boys went trick or treating for Halloween and had a blast! Alex went as Harry Potter (I've always thought he looks like a blond Harry) and Jonathan was Superman. I stayed to give out candy and DH took them out.


My shower is scheduled for this Sunday and I'm pretty excited. I'm not one for being the center of attention (in fact, at our wedding, during our first dance, I told DH everyone was looking at me and I didn't like it... Ummm, they were SUPPOSED to be!!! Lol). But I am looking forward to seeing friends and family!


I also have a prett bad sore throat and woke up stuffy. I hope I'm not getting sick


I guess I'll try to get back to sleep for a little while. Sorry for the novel.

 

[BlossomJ]

Hope you manage to get back to sleep Ducky. Glad your boys had a great time

 

[BlossomJ]

Sonia - When will DH hear back about the assessment?

 

[CharlieO]

Soooo last night i felt like i was getting full blown contractions...every 5 minutes..everytime i got the sensation i felt i needed to go #2 and nothing came..,this continued for two hrs...finally i had movement ( to say the least) and i was backed up then alllllllll grossness broke loose but after going #2 a few more times the feeling of the contractions stopped and i got some sleep...

So i woke up and just felt exhausted, sick, tightenings and heavy pressure...i got sick, tried to eat, got sick again, then tried to go to the store and got sick again and continued to get the tightenings..

Long story short the obs office wanted me to go in! So i did the non stress test and ultrasound and baby girl was fine but because im dehydrated from the nausea and vomiting i was getting braxton hicks....its been a long day i need some sleep!

I think we had the same night, only my midwife said it just sounded like a bug and said i didn't need to go in. And whilst i feel tired and thirsty today, I feel much better and bump isn't hardening every 5 mins. I hope you feel better today, and get the rest you need. It was not a fun experience. x x x

 

[Betheney]

those all night braxton hicks do suck.

When i was in hospital it was like 9 hours of braxton hicks from every 4 to every 8 minutes. Had them all last night too. More every 10 minutes tho.

Apparently i just get lots of braxton hicks. As soon as i eat breakfast in the morning they stop.

The heart burn or indigestion or chest pain or whatever it is, is HORRIFIC!!!

 

[Little J]

Blossom- Im curious to see which one of us pops first too! I CANT WAIT to meet my little guy

East Coast ladies- glad everyone is safe, and hope your loved ones are safe as well as long as houses etc.

Hard telling who will have their baby first with all this contraction drama going on.

DD has been extremely mouthy lately which just stresses me out beyond anything. So today I kept her home from school (she's 4) took her tv an toys away making her practice writing her letters and cleaning her room and have told her that not everybody gets things handed to them and today she's going to learn that, if she wants to eat she'll earn it. I honestly don't think I was this sassy as a teenager it's so irritating. I'm hoping maybe she'll have a little bit of an attitude adjustment before baby comes.

 

[DittyByrd]

I had a rude awakening last night, too. Fell asleep for not more than 10 minutes and woke up with reflux of dinner that was actually choking me, like I inhaled water. I started coughing a lot, which then lead to me vomiting up everything from earlier in the evening. Fun times!

 

[La Mere]

Oh, it seems we all had a rough night last night!!! I was awake most of the night, tossing and turning, running to the bathroom to go #2 and dealing with what seemed almost constant BH! I am so exhausted this morning, stupid headache and a ton of work to do around here today when all I wanna do is Sorry for the complaining... Oh and I just realized I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

I, for the first time in a long time, didn't wake up to pee last night. How I managed, I don't know, but I guess I was more tired than other nights since I deep cleaned yesterday. But man oh man when hubby got up for work I felt like I was going to burst!!! I got up saying: "Uh, Uh... Uh..." just as hubby decided to stand in front of me to hold me and kiss me good morning. I ran him over like I was in a football game hahaha and just managed to mumble: "Peeeeee, sorry!!!! " It was awful, I really thought I wasn't going to make it.

 

[Lilahbear]

Yay, my GTT came back normal. First blood test result was 4.5 and second was 7.7 which I have been told is within the normal range. Am so relieved.

Sorry to hear so many of you are having a hard time. I dont know if I have had any BH yet. If I am rushing about I sometimes get a pain in the middle of my belly, but its similar to when the baby is in an awkward position, but that's it. The lack if energy is what affecting me. I was trying to explain to dh that this isn't normal tiredness, but I don't think he gets it.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Oh, and hubby took our Christmas tree out of our storage room! ! He said I could start decorating in november... so, haha. I'm so ready! But I think I'll have to wait 'til after this weekend's travel for baby shower, but i'm so excited!!!!

 

[snowangel187]

Usually when I get really irritated or angry I clean. I was pretty irritated this morning and have probably gone overboard as I've finished the following in the last 3 hours. Swept the whole house, mopped all floors, vacuumed rugs, put clean dishes away, cleaned out refrigerator, took out trash, washed a load of laundry, folded a 2nd load, ironed all of dh's dress shirts and managed to iron my knee in the process. still a little pissed and ironing my leg didn't help that any, but am sitting and icing my knee at the moment trying to catch my breath. I know cleaning like a crazy woman doesn't help my situation other then the house is almost caught up, BUT neither does sitting and being angry. I really want to do more, but am trying to talk myself into being "satisfied" and allowing my body to rest. Pretty sure I'll at least load the dirty dishes in the dishwasher once the floors dry.

Dh always enjoys when I'm super pissed, because I spring clean. So maybe he will at least order take out when he gets home and sees all I've done and wasn't suppose to do.

 

[sassy_mom]

I clean too when I'm angry!

31 weeks today!!! 9 weeks to go!!!

I am fighting with BH today. UGH UGH UGH! I really need to mop. My kitchen floor is making me insane but I just can't bring myself to get it done with these BH going on. If DH knew I was having them he wouldn't let me do anything but sit and drink water. Except I have to go and get something to make for dinner and I have to drop him off something for dinner at work. This is just not my day!

LaMere I was tossing and turning all night too! I know how you feel. These last few nights it seems like that is all I do.

I don't know about you ladies but I've hit that "yep I'm done" stage. Come on 9 weeks.
