January Jellybeans 2013!...

I am panicky too about remembering how to do things, like do I need to put a vest under its all in one for sleeping?

I have a midwife appointment tomorrow, don't think it will be more than a quick measure and maybe the Doppler too.

 

[darkstar]

I have trouble remembering too, my youngest is almost 13!

Random: Just watched "The Raven". It was preeeetty darn good. Somewhat gory, but it went perfect with the rest of the movie. Gotta love John Cusack.

Heartburn is horrible. Ugh, I could do without any day!

I'll have no problem packing a changing bag as Meg is still in nappies - I'll just need a bigger bag I think to fit 2 lots of cloth nappies.

I'm excited about putting our tree up but that's mixed with a bit of dread as it'll be our 1st Christmas with a todder/tree combination.

Melly - good luck at the appointment tomorrow. Hope it's nice and routine.
We always used a short sleeved vest under a babygrow for Meg and she was a May baby so we'll use at least that this time around.

Thanks span, ds was a winter baby too, it was only 6 years ago but seems a lifetime ago!

as for the heartburn, I got some Rennies which are ok, but also got gaviscon duel action tabs and they are fantastic, it says to take 2-4 but I find just 1 is enough

Christmas will be so different this year - may end up getting induced right around Xmas day. So I'm already in full swing: listening to xmas music at work and trying to finish all my gift shopping.

I'm the same. Gaviscon works for me, but I only need to take 1 too.

One of my favourite films is "Away we go" and it always leaves me with a tear in my eye. I watched it tonight and oh boy, I sobbed all the way through it. DH thought it was hilarious! Definitely meant more now I am pregnant.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

ugh dont even get me started on heartburn! i bought a huge bottle of tums and need to go get another now... I literally pop those things like candy.. every 2 hrs in the middle of the night... if im cleaning the house and bending over im popping them in my mouth too... its horrible... all my friends that are pregnant are saying their heartburn isnt bad but I just dont understand how!? They complain of having to go pee all the time, but i guess because she is sitting so high this is why, i really dont pee a lot.

 

[AJThomas]

Ugh, this little boy needs to hurry up and drop, I'm tired of all the awkward positions I have to try just to be able to breathe. Of course as soon as I find one that works he moves or I get a horrid cramp on that side and have to move again.

I can totally relate! I cant breathe and i dont think its possible for my skin to stretch anymore...i dnt have stretchmarks yet but i dnt think my skin has anywhere else to go! Its very painful... Im crying about it to hubby right now lol...im so pathetic, but it really does hurt and im super uncomfortable!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Hubby bought me a Forever Lazy thingy hahaha!! I look like a blue pregnant teletubby! LOL He said I could wear it at the hospital to walk around while I'm in labor. It's really not a bad idea hahahaha.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

[DeedeeBeester]

Hi Ladies

Hope everyone is ok? Snow - haven't seen Betheney online for a few days but know it was Eva's birthday this weekend so perhaps she has been busy, hope she is ok.

I had my baby shower today and it was so much fun. I will post some pics in a second. There were about 24 of us I guess and my mum hosted as her house, and laid on the most amazing lunch - lasagna, chilli, jacket potatoes, wedges, home made bread, salad, pickie bits and an amazing cake, bless her. A friend of mine arranged the games and we had some fun, simply games ... Feed the baby - which is a baby face which when blindfolded you had to put a sticker on, on the babies mouth - I won! We then played named baby animals which was so hilarious in terms of wrong guesses - we had pingu for penguin which I loved! We then did the traditional guess the weight, date etc and they all thought I would be early, the earliest Dec 15! My friend bought these tiny plastic babies which are frozen in ice and then served in drinks and you have to what for 'your waters to break'. Was very funny.

I feel very spoilt and definitely have a very spoilt bump. It is so heart warming to have so many lovely friends and family who share in your excitement, I feel very blessed xx

Sonia, so glad you had a wonderful time.

Hubby took a picture of me this morning. I look extremely massively BIG! Like triplets big! I seriously don't know how I'm going to grow anymore! So much for dr saying I wasn't going to get all that much bigger LOL

Take in consideration when comparing that my boobs aren't small boobs hahahahahaha I'm going shopping for some cups DDD soon because DD just isn't cutting it anymore lol

DeeDee, you look great, honey!

I just saw a video on baby center about common questions first time parents have at their first newborn appointment. It was presented by a pediatrician.

One question was "Does my baby need a vitamin?" and the doctor said it would need vitamin D supplementation if it were EBF. This sounds strange to me and this is the first time I have heard anything like this. I thought breast milk contained everything a baby needs and supplementation just rubs me the wrong way.

BF moms???

Ditty, my dd never needed any supplements and even though she ended up being born in the hospital she never got any vit. d or k shots and no one said anything about it. As long as you are getting enough of your vitamins and minerals in your diet you baby will get everything it needs from your breast milk. But typically, we don't get enough of it in our diets nowadays, so its important for you to get lots of sun and eats foods high in both D and K.

Lol i could so use oe of those right now lol

I might look silly, but I put it on to "try it" and I'm still using it hahaha It's comfy!! It has a zipper on the back hahahahahaa hubby just went... "ooooh, easy access!! " hahahaha

hehehe "easy access"! sounds like something my hubby would say.

I'm still enjoying mine LOL

This entire pregnancy I have not had the heartburn/breathing issues. I keep having hip/pelvic issues. Last night DH was reading a book to our bean. At the end, DH asked why I had my arm over my eyes. It was to prevent him from seeing the pain b/c LO just kept hitting my left hip and making sharp pains. But DH was so excited to read to him that I didn't want to ruin the moment.

It brings tears of joy to my eyes to see how excited DH is for our first child - 'my son' he keeps saying. We saw a little girl at the store yesterday, she was just singing loudly off key in the aisle. And he was so starry eyed at how cute she was and if our son was gunna be like that in the store some day.

 

[CharlieO]

Deedee - what a lovely surprise.

Melly - Rennie's are fine, I checked with my GP and the pharmacist and she made me laugh by saying they'd be closing down if they weren't pregnant safe as it's pregnant women who buy them more than anyone else!

Span - you're not far from me, I am in Horsham x

OMG Sonia, you're about 20 mins from me! I'm in Burgess Hill!

 

[Little J]

am i the only one obssessed with feeling the baby through my stomach!? I can feel where he is and if its his back/leg etc.! then if i hold down i feel him change position etc. Its so cool!

Hubby gets mad at me bc he thinks i might be poking him in the eye?

When i felt him i had hubby feel, and he thought it was so crazy he could feel the actual baby through my belly and feel the body part. SO COOL! I cant get enough!
