January Jellybeans 2013!...

[darkstar]

I spoke to my midwife. It's increased CM and a lot of BH. If there is any increase I go into hospital so just monitoring at this stage. It wasn't urine because (TMI here) but once it dried in my underwear it hardened. Thanks for the positive thoughts everyone. Still having a lot of braxton hicks but resting and drinking plenty of water.. will see what tomorrow is like.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Glad you're ok hun and it's not your waters leaking. Feet up and rest for you xx

 

[BlossomJ]

Glad it's nothing to worry about Darkstar.

Thanks for the support ladies. Good to know it's not just me that feels a bit 'all over the place'. I just feel so silly! I had to change the channel during Rise of the Planet of the Apes as I cried 5 times in the first 40 minutes - that's not normal! I always cry at the end of Gladiator though

Please pray we exchange on this house on Monday. It will make me feel soooo much better! I know we probably will, but after two purchases falling through, I'm nervous

The end of Gladiator makes me cry too! Oh but I love some Russell Crowe. Whew!

Hoping everything works out wonderfully for you on Monday! Fingers Crossed!!!!!!!

I barely slept last night and was up at 6:30 after trying all night to sleep. My hips and pelvis were hurting too bad to really sleep. DH didn't sleep good either so we got up and cooked breakfast before his meeting. Apparently after the meeting they asked him to work because he is still gone.

I crashed on the couch while DD was watching some cartoons ... I just woke back up and she had covered me up with her blanket! She is such a sweetie!!! I think I am feeling a little less like a zombie so hopefully I can get up and get moving. We are hoping to take DD to the Christmas parade here in town today.

Is anyone else always hungry now? I ate breakfast and feel like I didn't eat anything. I always seem to be able to eat a lot. I haven't been overeating this whole pregnancy and at times couldn't eat a whole bunch because she was so high up, but now I feel like a bear who just came out of hibernation. FOOD!

I'm having a ton of trouble with sleep too. My sleeping schedule is totally off. I took a nap yesterday from about 1:30 until 4 when my husband decided to wake me up. Then, I was up until 2 AM this morning and woke up for the day around 8. I feel incredibly exhausted.

I'm actually less hungry now than I was a couple months ago before she dropped. Its probably the lack of sleep, though.

Its weird, way back when I found out I was having a baby girl, at like 22 weeks, I was perfectly content to have her in my body forever so she'd be cozy and protected and well taken care of at all times. Its crazy how much that has changed. I can't wait to get this kid. Everything is so difficult now that she's so big from tying my shoes to breathing to just walking around for a bit. And forget physical intimacy with my husband, every time I do that, she braces herself against my hips and ribs, which really hurts, like its an earthquake.

 

[darkstar]

I'm eating more than OH at the moment. Everything revolves around my next meal!

 

[sassy_mom]

I definitely miss the intimacy. My hips and pelvis ache so much that even the thought of him being near me puts the idea out of my head! The urge is there but between the pain and constant tiredness, it rarely ever happens. Sounds like what happens after the baby already. I would love to go out for a date night before baby gets here. Just a nice dinner out would be wonderful but with his schedule I just don't see that happening.

 

[sassy_mom]

I keep thinking of all the delicious food I could be eating right now. A buffet would be great!

 

[La Mere]

Darkstar- so glad its not your waters leaking! keep your feet up and take it easy!

Sassy- I am sorry your DH's schedule is so messy right now. I hope it evens out before Chloe is born! oh a buffet sounds so good... A chinese buffet sounds even better!

Hi ladies! My mom, sister and bff had a surprise shower for me last night. It was fun, first they had my mom pass on the 'crown of motherhood' then we played games, ate and chatted a bit. I got primarily pampers and wipes since we have way too much other stuff already, and my bff bought us a crib mattress so all knick knacks for baby are now covered, I just have a few things I want for myself such as some Depends, stool softener, snacks,etc.

As for intimacy, I've suddenly gotten my mojo back but it's so hard because baby gets into all kinds of weird positions and then I'm stiff and achy all over. We have to just try and keep it fairly short before he has time to make me all crampy.

 

[La Mere]

Haha, I know what you girls mean about intimacy.. We still do it practically every night. Talk about a WORKOUT!!! maybe that's why I am so tired.... it really is a lot of work and its so hard to get the closeness that I want with my big belly in the way.. And then if it takes to long for us to orgasm.. I get sore down there.

 

[mellywelly]

Mine has rusted over

 

[Soniamillie01]

Every night? Gosh, I'd be asleep at my desk all day!

DH and I are never in bed together at the moment what with him working nights so I'm glad I've lost my mojo as I'd feel bad. As it is when we do it's just too uncomfortable, only certain positions are ok and then I'm huffing and puffing . . . Sounds attractive doesn't it? Lol. I prefer just to keep DH happy when he is here and quite happy for him to rub my back afterwards

 

[sassy_mom]

I know what you mean Sonia ... DH comes in from work at about 7ish and I am just waking up and he sometimes tries .... But other than that, there is no time where we can be together.

My belly stays in the way and my hips ache so much that (sorry if this is tmi) doggy style seems to be the only position that is manageable for both of us. I can say this, after baby is born and things get back to somewhat normal ... the first time we are able to get back to it will probably send fireworks so high those of you across the pond will see it! It will be nice to have that closeness again.

 

[Soniamillie01]

I'm right with you hun x

 

[BabyHopeful2]

A week ago I was pretty comfortable (~35 weeks) and didn't feel a rush to get the kiddo out. But now I am so uncomfortable. Naps are essential.

Intimacy: Wow every day! thumbs up to you. I just don't feel intimate right now and it's so uncomfortable. I feel bad that DH has to basically beg and then I give in. Hopefully my mojo will come back b/c I don't want it to always be like this.

OH is bringing me sushi after the birth. I have been craving sushi bad, I used to eat it for lunch three days a week. I told him its good motivation for me in labour, I can think of the sushi!

 

[BlossomJ]

Sassy - Sorry you're not seeing DH very much & that he's having to put so many hours in. I really hope his schedule is better by the time the baby arrives hun Glad you've got a wonderful little lady looking after you!

La Mere - I don't know how you manage it... good for you!

Melly -

I don't really see that much of DH at the moment & when we're together we're both normally exhausted & really not up for anything like that at all We sat & played scrabble last night like a couple of pensioners
We maybe manage to dtd every other week at best, but I have to say it's great when it actually happens. Don't know if it's due to increased blood flow in pregnancy, but our best sex ever (well for me anyway ) has been while I've been pregnant!
