January Jellybeans 2013!...

[ARuppe716]

We are doing thanksgiving with my in laws who will probably insist I stay seated the entire day. It's nice but I also like to get around!! But we're seeing some family thy we haven't seen in awhile so I'm sure everyone will want to talk babies and bump. The i will be the crazy prego at the mall on Friday!! But I'll be wearing my new Xmas shirt that says "tis the season to be pregnant" hahah!!

 

[sassy_mom]

Don't know about you ladies but I am stalking Betheney's journal like a hawk!

I have to head out for my appt. in an hour and I really don't want to go. I'm tired and would much rather be sitting here hanging out with DD and crocheting than driving all over crazy town. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that this visit is smooth sailing. I seriously might throw a fit if I have to wait again as long as I have been the last few times.

Show them the wrath of the pregnancy hormones! Hahaha. Hope it all goes well and doesn't get down to that. Smooth sailing ! Haha.

Wow! Been away for a few days, just logged on & read Betheney's journal! Can't believe we have out first jellybean!

 

[BlossomJ]

Just realised there's no way I'm ever going to catch up on what I've missed..... Anything else crazy happen while I've been away?

Hope everyone is doing well. Think I'll have to make an effort to check in more now we're nearing the end, or goodness knows what'll happen while I'm away. It's getting very exciting!

I feel the same most days when i come on here and im on here everyday lol

Hope baby is doing well, will have to check the journal! God this all seems so real now!

Sonia, how did they tell you to store your expressed milk? Ie in what?

Is this common practise at your hospital then, my midwife hasn't said anything? When do they recommend you start?

We were talking about leakage and she was like oh collect it up, from 36 weeks and store in freezer in the syringe with date marked on. Not sure if it's common but she was bang on it when we were talking about the leakage. X

 

[Soniamillie01]

I seem to have loads to catch up on everyday and try to get in everyday lol!
I missed like a week and it took me about 4 hours to catch up.

Think the thread will definitely take off as all near the end of this journey x

Congratulations to Betheney and her family. Hope you and your jellybean are doing ok.

It is a shame that BF rates aren't picking up. My sis gave up pretty quickly with her 1st and barely even bothered with her 2nd. I aimed for 6 months with Meg and we made it to 13 months before a combination of preggo hormones and dropping to one feed a day brought things to a nice conclusion. I just hope things go well again this time around. Meg had a little feed shortly after the birth but was then too sleepy to latch for about 24 hours so the MW's had me hand expressing colostrum into syringes to give to her. I didn't do anything before the birth but would get beads of colostrum if i squeezed. Same this time. I know that people with GD are often encouraged to start expressing in the last few weeks so they have some stored ready for baby as it'd help regulate their blood sugars. X

It's going to be crazy!... and there could potentially be several people in labour at the same time as each other!

Hope Betheney & baby are doing OK. Can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl!

We spoke ages ago about pairing up with another jan jelly bean who we could update if in labour and cannot get online. Not sure if people wanted to do it or not, what do you ladies think? I know some are planning to update if they can but may be nice knowing you can update one person who will update the thread? Would need to be someone who isn't near the others due date I guess? And in the same country perhaps for txts etc?

Dh took this tonight as he thought I looked particularly round!

[Nikkilewis14]

[DeedeeBeester]

I'd like to do this as I'm not sure I'll have Internet access at the hospital. Any other UK girls in addition to Melly & Sonia want to buddy up? I guess if there's an odd number someone just get's two buddies

 

[La Mere]

I'd love to buddy up with someone. DeeDee and I talked about it, but we are due about 2 days apart I'd love to be able to send a quick text so all you girls could be updated!

Melly, lovely bump! dog's tail!

 

[Soniamillie01]

I'm happy to update UK ladies by txt so happy to exchange numbers with melly and you blossom if you like?
