January Jellybeans 2013!...

[Kaiecee]

Doing my hair tomorrow or the next day also I'm suppose to get a meeting to explain my gd but I'm a little worried since I haven't been able to stop eating Halloween candy

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Oh carpal tunnel how I've missed thee.

Mine started yesterday afternoon. It was so random, It kinda starts like sting, like a bug bit me and then just goes all over my wrist and part of my arm. I hope it only takes a couple of days to get rid of it like it did last time. It's not as bad but it's there...

Sonia - When will DH hear back about the assessment?

Hi blossom. Sorry about the heart burn and hip pain.
Thanks for asking re DH - the guy who done the driving assessment said it went well and would give the manager a nudge to get back him by the weekend. He called them yesterday and the HR lady said she would give him a nudge too so to me it sounds as though he's not good at getting back to people and is busy. DH has ruled it out now saying he failed the assessment, I just think the guys busy (well hoping too). He'd be disappointed if he doesn't get it and is starting to get really down about it. X

Fingers crossed for your DH Sonia, hope he gets his good news soon & cheers up xxx

Hi ladies.

Hope everyone is well. Thanks for the secret Santa info, can't wait - and thanks for organising it ladies.

Well my sister is here for a few days and is wearing me out! Yesterday we swam, we shopped then we went to a park with a zoo and we must have walked ten miles as we walked there and back plus around it, last night I was shattered to say the least! Baby wasn't too appreciative of it either and today we're off to the natural history museum in London, I must remember that I am nearly 8 months pregnant!

On that note a friend of mine txt me last night to say oh my god you're having a baby next month! If he is early of course, but that is crazy! Crazy in a good way!

Hope everyone is ok x

 

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks Lillian x

 

[Lauren021406]

I've decided since they were threatening to keep me at my last nst I am voting before I go next week that way I don't have to deal with social services to check myself out and go maybe baby will feel like cooperating tho and not give me anymore drama.

 

[Little J]

I have a shower on sunday! Its Hubby's family side, im super excited!

I hate how i cant sleep well at all... i guess its been like this for months now, but goodness..... when i finally get into a deep sleep, BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP time to get up for work!

I cant believe its NOVEMBER!!!!! January is just around the corner!!

 

[jrowenj]

Day 5 without power. Power company saod it could be out til nov 11th. : (

 

[duckytwins]

My shower is on Sunday! I woke up with a cold this morning, so I'm hoping it passes in the next two days. I don't feel pretty enough to buy a new outfit for it, so I'm just going to try to squeeze into something I already have.

I had to buy the dress for my cousin's wedding yesterday - I'm her Matron of Honor. I hated buying such a big size and it bummed me out. I won't be pg during her wedding, but I also don't know what size I'll be, so I had to buy bigger so it can be taken in if it needs to.

Anyone else a new week today?! 31 weeks

 

[BlossomJ]

Sonia - Really hope he gets it! I don't think you he can read anything into the fact that they haven't got back to him - I once got a job when they were over two weeks late deciding & notifying people. Hope he's ok

I'm not looking forward to getting back into my profession after this baby. I took a break after DS but do want to go back at some point. It's a very tough job market at the moment & I can see how people get down about job hunting

Jaime - That's no fun Hope they're just setting your expectations low & actually manage to get it back on quicker!

 

[ARuppe716]

Hi ladies!! So I've had 4 nights in a dark cold house and am now getting a cold if we still don't have power tonight I'm going to sleep at my parents house- they just got theirs last night. Any suggestions for what to take or do to relieve a sore throat and congestion? I've managed to not get sick at all up until this point and am dreading feeling miserable!

Warm water/tea with honey.

 

[BlossomJ]

Little J & Ducky - Hope you both have a fab time! I'm sure you'll look great Ducky

ARuppe - steam will help with the congestion, so maybe sit over a bowl/sink of very hot water with a towel over your head? and hot lemon & honey to drink? I'm not sure about what medication is safe I'm afraid Get well!

I actually had it before getting pregnant with dd and it flared really bad while I was prego with her. And this pregnancy I've had tingling and numbness in one of my arms/hands which I just realized was carpal tunnel and yesterday my left hand was so bad I could barely move it. I couldn't find my wrist brace so sent dh for another. My hands are swelled too, I'll probably pack away my rings as I don't want my grams ring cut off I can barely get them off now. I'm also having pain and swelling in my feet. I guess I was spoiled having "only" gd with dd because this pregnancy hasn't been as lovely as my last. Ready.for.delivery.

 

[DittyByrd]

hi ladies...just checking in..still without power there sayin we wont get it back until WEdnesday hope everyone is doing well!

Ick. Can you go someplace to get a shower and a hot meal?

 

[DittyByrd]

So the showers this weekend:
DittyByrd, DeeDee, Little J, and Ducky? Anyone else? HOW EXCITING!!!!

 

[DittyByrd]

Here's the list of Pregnancy Safe OTC meds for colds that my OBs office gave me:
Benadryl, Chlor-trimeton, Dextromethorphan, Dimetapp, Guaifenesin, Robittussin, Nasal Saline Drops, Cough Drops, Tylenol

Sometimes an anti-histamine can help with congestion:
Alavert, Allegra, Claritin, Chlor-trimeton, Tavist, Triaminic, Zyrtec

Maybe one of those can help? I agree hot tea with honey really helps with a sore throat. Stay hydrated and take it easy.

I got some good news last night, my eldest brother will be home for the Christmas holidays (he lives in the Turks and Caicos islands) and he'll be here until Jan 6, so hopefully baby isn't overdue and he can get to meet his uncle before he goes back. If not he won't get to meet him until maybe Easter or July.

Some not so good news is that hubby now has my cold, but at least he's not pregnant so he can take medication for it and he doesn't have the added pregnancy discomforts to deal with.
