Checked my bp while we got our groceries and it was great so I will bring up the swelling at the Dr tomorrow. I've been feeling fine and baby is moving great. I just wish this dang swelling would go down. My feet feel ridiculous!

My dr said swelling is "normal" and "ok" as long as you don't have a headache and blurred vision with it. Just try to keep you're feet elevated as much as possible.

Did my nst today. Took baby a Little longer to pass her bpp today. Dh brought dd to lunch and when they got home I was sleeping. Dh was like what are you doing? I was like ahhh sleeping? Then he asks why? I'd like to see him at almost 35 weeks pregnant.

Ugh. Anyways. My feet are killing me. They are swelled, but not too bad. I think it has to do with the extra weight and poor shoe support since I live in my flip flops.

I finally got batteries for baby's swing (which was brand new from dd, she never used it) and it doesn't work!! I'm a little irritated, and hoping dh can fix it. I did manage to get all of dd's presents wrapped last night. I'm feeling like things are getting done and checked of my to do list.

Well that's my daily random rambling. how's everybody else?

 

[sassy_mom]

Sitting with DD watching some tv and finishing up some crocheting. I would love nothing more than to go lay down and sleep but DH is with FIL and it is too late for DD to lay down with me so we are just hanging out in front of the tv.

I am seriously counting down the days now. So ready for her to be here. I've gotten to the point where bending, sitting, leaning, any of that is nearly impossible.

I am so unprepared for Christmas. I seriously need to get DD's presents situated. Ugh! I still feel so overwhelmed with trying to finish up baby things and presents and ..... it just gives me a headache thinking about it all. I think I am over thinking it. I just feel like we aren't ready but I know things are fine.

 

[Kaiecee]

I really need to get stuff done too the stomached flu has made me late in stuff I wanted done this week

I also have this sick feeling that baby will be coming sooner than I think hopefully that's just my paranoia!

Hi ladies, been a bit busy the past 2 or so days and haven't been on, so glad to know most of you had a good thanksgiving and seem to be getting things in order for baby. I guess judging by all the aches, pains and complaints its safe to say we're getting close to D-Day!!

AFM, DH and i went to look at tiles on Friday and walked around a little too much, also they were using a really strong cleaning agent on the floors while we were there, so i got all dizzy and just about passed out, luckily DH was there to hold me up but i had to get down onto my knees on the floor and then sit in a chair for a few minutes before i was able to make it to lie down in the car. I was fine after lying down for a bit tho and i love the tiles we got

My friend is organizing some extra help to speed up the work on the house, don't know what i'd do without her. She really understands that we want to get set up before baby gets here so another set of workmen should be working with the current ones starting tomorrow to get it all done in half the time (hopefully). I'll definitely have to try and post some pics for you ladies, but at the moment there's not a lot to see.

 

[sassy_mom]

Everyone swears I won't make it to my due date. I'm really not sure why they say that. Wishful thinking on their part I think. I have the feeling she will be late. But who knows! DH told me last night he gave me 3 weeks.

Little J- is it in your arches and into your heel? If so its a form of plantar fasciitis (I was a dancer!) and it often stems from tight calf muscles. Plus our feet are having to compensate for more weight and a change in center of gravity. Mine kill me throughout the day! I keep a tennis ball under my desk at work and roll my feet on it to massage it. You can also stand in the ball with it under the site spots to help. Usually it's from tissue tightening up and "sticks" to itself so the massage helps loosen it. I hope that helps!!!

Yes it is! THanks ill try that!! My calve muscles cramp up alot when im sleeping too, even tho i drink plenty of water, i will just extend my leg and WHAM CRAMP! my calve/s will get hard as a rock! and i have to wake hubby up to rub it to get it to calm down bc its hard for me to reach. His grandpa said to sleep with Soap at the foot of my bed? apparently it works for him with his leg cramps?

Also, the other night off and on i had this wierd feeling at the top of my belly like i couldnt breath bc somthing was pushing on my diaphragm or pushing up restricting me from taking in deep breaths, it kinda hurt! but it only lasted that day off an on, and ive been fine ever since.... very odd

 

[jrowenj]

Hi ladies

Gosh we are definitely getting near, hope you ladies who have been feeling poorly over the weekend are feeling better now.

Sassy - glad the BP is ok. Like you say get the swelling checked out tomorrow. I've had to remove my rings now as cannot get them off

AJ - gosh, glad your DH was there to look after you. What a lovely friend as well.

Afm it's been quite a busy weekend and I've managed to keep myself busy and not really think too much about baby measuring a lot ahead and c section. My niece stayed Friday night and she was so cute when DH went to work, she was like 'ill look after the mum to be and bump, don't worry' She is only four she slept next to me all night with her hand on my tummy wrapped up in one of baby's blankets.

Saturday I did a bit too much and had the major nesting bug but I achieved a lot! Defrosted freezer, cleaned kitchen draws and cupboards all out, sorted out a cupboard full of stuff (DH's junk), packed (well nearly finished) hospital bag, washed and ironed all the bed linen in the house and more of baby's clothes from the shower. Phew! The list is smaller now but itching to get it all sorted but am shattered!

Aruppe - how was your shower?

 

[brieri1]

Had my baby shower yesterday. It was wonderful. And Lilah dropped over the last few days, I can once again feel her tush below my ribs. I can't believe how close we are all getting, with a baby already here of our little group. We have come on an incredible journey together.

 

[gingermango]

Woe we're doing really well to be this close to the end and we havent had any premmies yet!!

So after spending last weekend in hospital on a drip my hand is still bruised and sore then I had really bad toothache and the dentist has had to start root canal treatment grr, roll on January cos things can only get better lol

Im sure I heard movement is supposed to slow down near the end but this one is still just as active lol so Ill probably go over its just my luck!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi ginger

Sorry to hear about your bruised hand. How are you?

Not sure if you've seen but Betheney had a gorgeous baby boy earlier this week. They induced her early due to pre eclampsia. X

Aww no I missed that!! I had 40 pages to catch up on so skipped some I shall have a search for her journal and catch up!

Im ok plodding along

 

[DittyByrd]

DH and I are under the weather. Laid low today and feeling better. Thinking all the time spent with family over the Thanksgiving holiday gave everyone the opportunity to spread their germs!

Yesterday I got more of the nursery organized. I am starting to really feel the pressure to get it done. I may be wrong, but I feel like this baby might come a bit early. My mom was 3 weeks early with me. Of course, by saying that I have guaranteed I will be overdue!

 

[duckytwins]

I would love to go early too! I was three weeks late!! but the boys were born 4 weeks early. I wonder what my chances of going into labor early are??

Sorry to hear so many if us aren't feeling well.

I've been on the couch most of the day, watching the boys decorate the house, watching Christmas movies and listening to Christmas music. I made a big roast chicken dinner and I'm thinking about some pumpkin cheesecake a little later! I can't believe the weekend is over. I'd rather have DH and the boys home for another few days.

 

[BabyHopeful2]

I hope everyone starts feeling a little better.

I leave tomorrow to travel to my job interview. It's 6.5 hr drive one way, so DH and I are staying the night before interview and the night after there. Wish me luck!

 

[sassy_mom]

Sending lots of good luck your way Babyhopeful2!!!!

Jrowen hope you feel better soon!!! Being sick is no fun and being sick while big and pregnant has to be worse.
