January Jellybeans 2013!...

[duckytwins]

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!

Good luck! All my crossables are crossed!

Hope those of you not feeling well feel better soon!

I keep feeling so tired but I'm frustrated I can't get everything done I want to do. My to-do list is a mile long.

LIttle J- Glad to help with your feet! I would also do some basic calf stretches throughout the day to keep them loose and then right before bed. And have DH massage them out It isn't always comfortable but it's working miracles for me! When I start getting more cramps I have my hubby dig in a little and they immediately give me some relief!

The shower was great! I am overwhelmed by the amount of family and friends that came out to celebrate with us. We got some fantastic things including our travel system, high chair, and all of our bedding! Also each person was asked to bring a favorite childhood book for the baby to help build his library, some of the books have beautiful inscriptions of childhood memories in them that made me tear up to read. My mom did a great job putting everything together- we had a monster theme (same as our bedding) with bright colors and the games included a design your own bib contest that was judged by dh's two best guy friends who were there and sippy cups filled with candy and you had to guess the amount. It was so nice to see so many people from different places in our lives all together in one room. Some family we hadn't even seen since our wedding! Now we have our work cut out for us to put everything away and sort. I can't wait to wash sheets and clothes and start to figure out what we still need. I have been holding back on buying things because of the shower and now I can go full force! Hopefully some of my friends will post pictures online so I can share some with you ladies!

After a nice long weekend with family and friends I really don't want to go back to work tomorrow!! But I'm in the final stretch and counting down my last four weeks! woohoo!

Is anybody else overheating like crazy? I feel like sticking my head in the freezer.

 

[duckytwins]

YES! I am almost constantly sweating! It's like in the 30s F over night and I sleep with the ceiling fan on, the window cracked open and just a knit blanket. I thought I was going to die at my Aunt's house on Thanksgiving, it was soooo hot!

 

[ARuppe716]

Me!! Im always hot!!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Im always cold lol

 

[Kaiecee]

Good luck on job interview

I'm always hot it was even snowing a little here and I was dying of heat expecially since dh likes it hot and wants to cuddle it kills me it's rare I sleep with blankets

 

[sassy_mom]

I'm with Nikki ... I am always cold! I have been this entire pregnancy. With DD, I sweated like a pig but this one ... noooooo FREEZING! Everybody said oh at least when it is cold you'll feel good. Nope now I'm just more cold.

 

[darkstar]

I've been getting hot flashes. I said to DH that if I wasn't pregnant I would think I was menopausal It's coming into summer here so it's only going to get worse too

 

[Lillian33]

Oh gosh Snow YES, always hot - and it's not even proper summer here yet!!

Babyhopeful, best of luck for your interview, how exciting

I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow Sassy and all your swelling has gone

Aruppe, so glad you had a nice shower, I saw a lovely pic of you and some friends on Facebook already

Sonia your neice sounds too cute for words, bless her for looking after you!

Found out today that my work colleague is throwing me a very small baby shower with just a few people it will just be at work and nothing big but I think it's very sweet of her since I dont have many friends here yet

Rest up ladies, there are still a few of you not feeling the best - Jrow, hope your tummy improves by morning. Sending you all

[Nikkilewis14]

Def freezing even more now too! Since it was so freaking cold out today! It was snowing yesterday!! I hate the heat up and a heated blanket on and hubby was looking at me like i was crazy...even when we first found out id always be cold and it was almost summertime!

DH is packing for a work trip... He will be gone until Saturday. It's always weird when he's away and I think he's nervous that something will happen while he's away. I assured him that it's still too early and if something were to happen his work would understand and send him home. I think he may be near some of you UK ladies... He's flying over and staying somewhere near Manchester. Fingers crossed he has a safe trip and baby stays right where he is this week!!

 

[snowangel187]

I think Santa is bringing me a new camera for Christmas but "he" is undecided on what to get. Anybody have suggestions? What do you have and the pros and cons?

 

[Soniamillie01]

Aruppe - Manchester is lovely, amazing for shopping. It's quite a way from me and is in the north west of the country, I'm in the south closer to London. I'm sure baby will stay all snug inside your tummy until he gets home and hopefully for a little longer afterwards x wishing him a safe trip x

 

[BlossomJ]

Ginger - Good to hear from you

Aruppe - Glad you had a great time & looking forward to some pics

Babyhopeful2 - Hope it goes great! Will be thinking of you

I'm near Manchester The weather here is grim at the moment, so make sure he has an umbrella!

Hopefully the week will fly by & he'll be back before you know it

 

[ARuppe716]

Thank you ladies! Ill pass on to him about the weather!

Snow- I just bought a Lumix camera and like it very much so far! Its smaller like a compact but with a larger interchangeable lens that takes photos like an slr without the huge price tag...

 

[span]

Sorry so many of you are struggling. I'm not doing too badly so far, though I'm getting less sleep each night through peeing and general discomfort. Only 2 days left at work now though so that'll make things easier.

MW wednesday - can't believe I'm nearly 34 weeks already!

 

[duckytwins]

Oh! My cough has gotten worse and it's very hard to breathe. My chest, throat and belly all hurt from all the coughing. DH had to call the on call dr this morning because I can't stop coughing. I'm so worried if I'm having trouble breathing, so is baby!!
