January Jellybeans 2013!...

[BlossomJ]

Darkstar - (sorry, that's maybe a little mean of me!) Hope you make it!

Melly - Exciting! What are you planning on doing with your time?

Sonia - Don't get pulled into helping carry things/set them up as part of an office move - I'm sure you know your limitations, but just wanted to say be careful what you do. Wouldn't want you finishing work & then being laid up with a bad back.... or going into labour from straining with something! (that's how my mum had me!).

Aruppe - Glad you had a good chat with your boss, you know what you're doing & feel better as a result. I'm sorry you don't get to take longer off work afterwards

Nikki - Love the nursery & the tree

As for me... We didn't manage to exchange contracts. Everything was in place but then our vendor's solicitor couldn't get hold of the solicitor for the house their clients are buying & wouldn't let them exchange with us until it can all happen at once DH decided to gamble & give notice on our rental place anyway, So now we could be homeless come January if it doesn't go through!!!

I'm sure it won't come to that hun, can you pick up with the solicitors on Monday?

I've already been told I am not to lift a thing, I'm just to bark orders at people. I'm sure I can do that pretty easily

 

[Lillian33]

Oh darn it, so sorry about the house Blossom, but you still have time right, everything crossed for you that it works out also for DS, poor love going flying over the boxes! Keep positive, things will work out

Woohoo for finishing work Melly! I still have til xmas eve (but low stress job so all good!) And Sonia, make sure barking orders is all you do when you guys move offices!

Aruppe, so glad you feel better and amazing that you got a surprise shower!

Feel better AJ

Happy weekend everyone!!!!!!!!!

Well girls, that's it!!!!! I've finished work I'm happy to be able to rest, but I'm going to miss it soooo much. Typically today was a very stressful day and we were all frazzled !!!!

Deedee, I've had strong period type pains in the past few weeks, but bump didn't go hard, so didn't think it was BH, maybe just something stretching?

Yay I finished work today too. Soooo happy
They also gave me a surprise baby shower. If any of u r on Facebook I put up photos of all the presents I got. They gave me so many things!!!!!

Hopefully we'll get it all wrapped up on Monday. I'm just a worrier & although I'm confident that our vendor wants everything to go ahead, the people they are buying from are an unknown quantity to me & I'm afraid I tend to plan for the worst!

Lillian - DS is ok now We had lots of fun later on today & he wore himself out so much that he ended up asking to go to bed about 10mins before I was going to get him ready!

 

[sassy_mom]

Brieri - I have the same thing when I wake up in the morning. Charlie Horse .... don't stretch too hard but if you do, flex your foot back up towards your shin ... it will make it go away. Just try and be careful. I know I have to be really careful when stretching because they are painful.

Blossom hoping everything goes through on Monday and you get things sorted.

I was running errands for nearly 5 hours today and I am exhausted!!! DD was an angel today! She helped me do stuff in the stores and gather up things and was so well behaved despite being dragged all over town and time got away from us and we couldn't eat lunch until nearly 3!!!! She is an awesome kiddo!

On a wonderfully happy note, I sent my secret santa. I'm hoping it is well liked. I haven't been this nervous in awhile. I am now stalking my mailbox waiting for my secret santa as I am super excited about doing this. Thanks La Mere for bringing the idea up and for the ladies that helped her organize it!! I'm so glad we did this!!

 

[duckytwins]

Grrr, I just spend all kinds of time replying, then my laptop freaked out and shut down!!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

I got my Doppler back today which I had lent to a friend who has just found out she is expecting, she's 9 weeks. Baby hasn't turned I don't think as heartbeat is in my upper tummy, so think he is still breech x

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Anyone else super swollen down there?! Its kinda painful, pressure wise?



Sorry to hear blossom! Our first home we went in on didnt work out either, long story, but the second house took months for them to agree with us on prie, but its ours now !

 

[Soniamillie01]

I've felt swollen down there, especially recently, my midwife said it's increased blood flow to the area ?

 

[Lillian33]

Yes to swelling down there! And the pressure too! Imagine what its going to feel like when the baby is coming down and through

Sassy your DD sounds like an angel, bless her for being such a good wee thing!

[Lillian33]

Anyone up for a new round of bump pics?! Here's me from this morning 34 + 2 (excuse the finger over part of the lens ha ha! xxx

 

[La Mere]

DeeDee- I've had the same kind of cramping, but alternating chills and hot.flashes. I am pretty sure it is a combination of baby dropping, steretching muscules and BH. I also need to make sure I am drinking enough.

Ducky- you look great, all bump!


I can't remember who asked about being swollen and feeling kind of a painful pressure down there. I think it was Nikki.. darn pregnancy brain. But I have it too and its really uncomfortable sometimes. My mw last pregnancy told me that is was due to increased blood flow and baby turning/dropping.

yay for the girls who are already on mat leave and for those going on it soon.

Brieri- I hope you get the job and I am sorry you got sick afterwards.

Sassy- you are most welcome! I am glad you girls are enjoying it! I am excited as well!

Lillian- you look fabulous, Lillian! What a cute little bump you have!

Sorry if I have missed anyone! Hope all of you lovely ladies are doing well/better!

I am still more than 2 hours away from finishing a 12 hour shift. This is my last 12hr shift before baby comes. Next week I have two 10hr shifts and then I taper down to a few shorter shifts. Done with work on 12/19!

Trying to sit as much as possible but I feel the aches in my ankles and shins.

My foof is a little swollen but not too painful.

 

[Kaiecee]

Wow went away for not even 2 days and it takes me and hours to get throw all the messages

Ducky love ur bump pick

I went shopping with dh got almost everything going back to in laws around the 10th to finding the rest cuz the 11th is my bday and dh is taking me out

La mere
Don't feel bad at all cuz of what u did as a got for the last 12 years I worked at a fast food chain and had the best insurgence and bonus's I went to school for hairdressing but my job in the fast food industry paid me more with better perks I was a head manager and did my job well but for the next couple years I plan to be a sahm I didn't get that chance with my boys and would love to do it for Riley and whatever other kids god will bless me with


On another note everytime I go shopping my tummy gets Rock hard and really hurts and nothing gets rid of it and end up cutting my shopping short

ovaries!! Isn't it odd that we're supposed to be the moody ones with all the hormone surges but quite often it's the opposite! Hope he wises up soon and stops being such a grump

I've been meaning to post one but can't seem to get around to it. Found a minute! Please forgive the mess in the background! DD loves pulling DH's motorcycle books out so she can "read" them.

 

[sassy_mom]

I finally got to get a haircut today!! I feel awesome ... toes painted and a haircut ... I feel like almost a new woman.

I was also able to get a comfy pajama set and big granny undies and little toiletries for my hospital bag!
