January Jellybeans 2013!...

Have you ladies packed your hospital bags yet? I was planning on that being my 34 week milestone (not sure why 34 weeks, just a number in my head).

For the most part yes, except nappies! The lady who is running our antenatal classes said most women have time to pack it in the early stages of labour???!!!! Thought that was a little odd!
 
I still haven't even moved towards packing my hospital bag yet. I'm starting to wonder if I ever will. :haha::haha: I don't have a diaper bag yet so maybe if I went and got one, I would want to put stuff in it and that would set me in the right direction. :haha: I don't go into the nursery very often because my FIL is using the room right now. If I have baby stuff, I just toss it in the crib and leave. :haha: Maybe I'll get around to it. :shrug:
 
I had the weirdest dream last night. I was ready for labor, so when we arrived at the hospital Dr. told me I was having quadruplets LOL I told them I didn't know, that I thought it was just one baby boy. So the nurses started making a big fuss over me now knowing, and called the news!!!!!!! I was running up and down the hospital's halls trying to get away from the reporters that wanted to talk to the mom that didn't know she was having quadruplets!

OMG! Girls, I was just checking the forecast on weather underground for my area. Starting Friday night and into Saturday morning the temps are dropping dramatically!!! The highest temp I've seen so far for midday highs for the next 10 days is 45 at 11 am on Saturday and it just goes down from there!!! It looks like it might go up a little bit from next Tuesday on, but not by much only into the 50's.. :cry: can I fly south for the winter?

We just got about 16" of snow last night! Not lovin the weather here in CT :(

Oh, Ducky that sucks... I'm originally from South Texas so I'm not really use to any kind of real cold or snow... I'm just being a total wimp, I think.

In the uk, it actually says in my pregnancy notes to pack at 34 weeks. I'm going on maternity leave at 34 and a half weeks so I will pack it then
 
Hi Ladies

Wow you've all been very busy, it's taken me ages to catch up!
So so so so so sorry to still have been AWOL, have just been so busy with work, home, trying to help DH work wise and catching up with friends etc.

Hope everyone is well?

US ladies - hope you are ok and get your power back on where it is still out soon. Keep safe

Bags - semi packed but do need to do it!

Grooming - note to self: need to defluff!

Breathing - nightmare! Especially after eating, it becomes so uncomfortable!

Showers - glad to hear you ladies have had lovely showers. Mine is next weekend and looking forward to seeing friends and family.

Sorry if I've missed anything and hope everyone is doing ok now that we get closer!

Well, for me things have been pretty crazy! Work is still really busy as have been recruiting for my replacement and trying to plan a hand over etc. DH has had some joy on the work front, he's been for three interviews and has been offered all three jobs :) he starts one he went for today that he wasn't really too interested in but they called him within 15 mins of the interviewing ending and offered him a managerial role so he is very pleased! It is nights but we'll cope I'm sure.

Baby wise all is ok, I think. Have a growth scan tomorrow at 32 weeks so should know if he has moved to head down or not. Ohhh had my first antenatal class this week and it was really good. DH came along and I think he really enjoyed it. It covered phsiology of labour, states of labour and what to look out for in each stage and pain relief. Next week it when things don't go to plan and the final week is caring for your baby. It was a really small class, 4 mums and 3 dads and there was supposed to be 28 of us! Had midwife at 30+2 and was measuring 32 so think we'll be ahead again tomorrow. Keen to see if his tummy measurement is still higher than average and will be asking consultant about possibly they causes other than larger baby (and mum) if this is the case.

Sorry again for being AWOL, hope to keep up now x
 
Your classes sound great Sonia, wish we had something like that here!

Glad to hear you are doing ok! I know you will be glad when things slow down a bit. So excited for your DH! I hope he will be much happier with this job.
 
I only have 3 weeks left at work, and as I'm part time and need to take a days leave too as ds's school is shutting for the police commissioners election (grrr), it means I only have 8 days left!!!!!!
 
So lovely to hear from you Sonia :hugs: What amazing news for DH - well done to him :)

Hope you're not getting too stressed at work, try to remain as relaxed as possible! Yay for a growth scan :happydance:

I believe that since the early stages of labor are similar to period cramps and the contractions are irregular. I wouldn't wait that long to have a bag packed, however, I would prefer to just top it off with toiletries when the time comes.

My bag and baby's are just about done. I plan on adding a few snacks to mine and a couple diapers to baby's. I just need to pick them up, but if I don't get them before it's time I'll survive. :haha:

Come to NZ and stay with me!! We dont have the hot hot 100 degree fahrenheit temps that im used to back home in Australia so it's perfect for a preggers woman/new mum!!

Its 70's and 80's here. :thumbup: BUT I grew up in the northeast so I know all about snow and cold. :rofl:

I bought travel size toiletries so that it's all ready and so I can throw them out when I leave the hospital. :thumbup:


So exhausted today. This cold is kicking my butt!! Dh took dd to the circus and instead of napping I went grocery shopping. Non-stress test first thing in the morning and hopefully a very low key weekend. :thumbup:
 
I'm starting my bag this weekend! I won't get my diaper bag until the shower- mommy bought it for me:) so I have to wait to pack a few things for a couple weeks still. I bought travel toiletries so they will already be packed. I figure enough will be on my brain that toothpaste will be the last thing I think of!! I also bought my first pack of newborn diapers and some wipes... Felt very weird putting them in my shopping cart!
 
My next order of business is having hubby put the nursury together and then....my hospital bag..and babies bag! Oh im so excited! Unfortunately my bedding is on back order til nov30th!!!
 
Nothing better than waking up at 2:45 am drenched in sweat and needing some Tums!! Oh, the joys of pregnancy :)
 
I lied... My night did get more fun. Had sudden severe stomach cramps and had to run to the bathroom and had diarrhea! (sorry tmi)... That was so bizarre because I've felt fine and feel ok now. I hope I can fall back asleep so I'm not a zombie at work!
