Thanks Ditty... I get so nervous taking anything since they all have different strengths and dosages. And I think I read somewhere that only certain types of cough drops are ok? I took two regular strength Tylenol and have my tea and feel a little better at least. I think part of the problem is just grumpiness at our power situation!! I've been ok until now but this morning I just woke up so sick of this!! I just want to cook something in my own house, turn the heat on for my poor cat, and not have to use the restroom with a dim flashlight!!

I've been really sick these last past weeks getting tired of it now

Have fun all u ladies with ur baby showers can't wait to see ur pics

I'm still waiting on the nurse to call me to book me for my flu shot since dr. Wanted me to get one and dh should too but hates needles we will she what happens with that one lol!

And the nurse for my diabetes was suppose to call me this week for all the info I will need they said if after the diet they give me if its still too highy sugar then they will put me on insuline I hope it doesn't come to that

I hope you girls get your power back, my sister is in the same state, but with a little baby who is 2 months. Praying every day for your electricity to go back.

I feel like I have a million things to do before I leave for Houston for baby shower. We leave today around 6pm. 4 hours drive just to get there, but I'm excited it's with hubby and not MIL. He makes it much more fun.

I've also felt a difference in some of Matthew's movements. He still kicks a bunch, but some of the things I've been feeling are movements, rolls and positioning. Today early in the morning I had a proper bump on the right side of tummy, don't know if it was his head, his hand, butt or what; but it was beyond bizarre, yet cool, to see and feel a part of his body with my tummy and hands.

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.

That's so nice that your brother will be there to meet the baby. One of my brothers lives in Australia and I don't know when we will next see him. He didn't get to meet our other brothers baby till she was nearly one year old and that was sad.

ladies without power..... what are you doing with your freezer and refrigerator items!? what a headache!! I get all outta shape when the power goes out for an hour, i cant imagine days!

 

[ARuppe716]

We cleaned out the freezer yesterday... Everything in the fridge will have to go too! It's such a pain but I guess it's a good opportunity to clean it all out thoroughly! I can't imagine what people with babies are doing. We have people in our condo complex who are elderly or who have small children!!

Need to put my feet up for a minute before making dinner! It's been a busy day & I now have annoying BH.

I went with DS to a Country Park for a walk this morning, got back, made lunch, played, did two loads of laundry, cleaned the bathroom, cleaned the kitchen then bagged up a load of clothes that I won't fit into for a while.... Just when I was about to collapse into the sofa, I find DS has removed his nappy & wee'd all over the sofa! So I then had to change him, strip all the cushions, chuck the covers in the washer & disinfect the what wasn't washable!

DH is working late tonight & I'm so tempted just to give DS fish fingers & beans & order takeaway for me!

My sister had a gas stove. She is thanking for it right now! She heats water in it for showers, mostly for baby Sofia. She has been only breastfeeding, thank God, which makes it a lot easier! She is mainly complaining about being cold.

That's when you hope you have a gas fireplace too!
Growing up we had power outage for 3 days and luckily we had a gas stove/ fireplace - but of course the fan doesn't work so you have to sit RIGHT next to it.....
Can't even imagine.... Maybe time to get out the camping stove?

Mr dr told me to use menthol crystals, not sure if you have them over the pond? You dissolve them in hot water and breathe thm in with a towel over your head. It's very strong stuff but works a treat!

I have a lop sided bump too. Baby is head down with his body on my right, and so his/her bum sticks out to the right of my bump. They were laughing at it today at work as it looked really wonky!

Lauren, Jrow & Aruppe, my thoughts are with you all & I really hope you guys get your power back soon, big hugs xx

DeeDee & Ducky, have fun at your showers how exciting!!!

Blossom, definitely give yourself a night off cooking, what a day!!

AJ that is such good news about your brother! I'm in a different country to all mine so who knows when they'll all meet their grandson/nephew!

Hope everyone is is feeling well!!!

Thanks for all the love from all of you to the Jersey ladies!! It looks like I'm camping out at my parents house this weekend.

Just had my 30 week appt and everything looks good. She said his heartbeat sounded great and he is back to being head down after his shenanigans last appt of having flipped on me. Maybe now he won't head butt me in the ribs!!

I really feel it for you ladies that are without power, that happens a lot here in Jamaica but at least we don't need the heating and most people have gas stoves anyway so it just means we have to use lamps and no tv, phones, etc. Often it means we don't have water for a while too but i guess all that happens so often that it's not such a big deal when it happens in a hurricane People just know they have to store water if they don't have a tank. Praying you ladies get power back soon, i can just imagine how miserable the cold is!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Hubby is coming home early and i still need to pack lol thankfuly its just the one night!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

omgggg so much to do with the shower this weekend, i am going insane!!!

 

[AJThomas]

this lil boy has me drooling at all kinda weird things: ice (cant get enough!) dishwashing soap, bath soap, shampoo, baking soda, bleach; thankfully i haven't had any urges to eat any but boy do they smell good! i just stand there taking it in and drooling

Last year, when we had that freak snow storm in October, we lost power for a week. It was so cold, our fish froze We had to stay at my parents' house for the week. It was my parents, my sister, brother in law and their two kids, me, DH and our two kids. It was miserable! As soon as the power came back on, I high-tailed it home and turned every light on in the house!!! I know what you girls are going through and I hope it comes back on soon.
