January Jellybeans 2013!...

I agree kaicee, no way a person can work at his/her best so many hours and days in a row, that's just crazy.

I'm sure he'll get it sorted, their excuse is well we'll pay you the overtime but it's not the point, he doesn't want the overtime, he needs the time off. He'll get it sorted, will speak to his boss tonight and also get his leave sorted and also shift over Xmas.

 

[La Mere]

I hope it gets all sorted out, Sonia. I remember when Rayven was born, my husband had found someone who would work his shift the day she was actually born, he called in and let them know what was going on and they still pointed him for "missing" his shift. (they worked on a point system, so many points you get written up, so many write ups you get fired, type thing if I remember correctly). I was so furious with his supervisor and the HR person when he told me that.

Melly- I am sorry more people haven't RSVP'd for your DS's party. Maybe you could try giving them a call? I hope you hear from them and your DS has a great birthday!

Here's a couple of bump pics. There are a few more on my journal. 34+2. What do you girls think? Does it look like baby has dropped?

I think he'd happily take it unpaid to be honest, but they just make me laugh as one minutes it's you must use your leave up before the year ends (end of jan), then it's no leave before christmas and then it's something else.

Idiots!

Totally right that companies need to be more supportive of new dads. Thanks for listening as always ladies.

Melly - sorry to hear that about your son's party, could you maybe have a quick ring a round to follow up those who haven't rsvp'd? X

Hopefully I'll see most of them tomorrow at the school gates, I just wish they had the courtesy to reply.

 

[Soniamillie01]

I hope they let you know melly. I'll come and get stuck in the soft play area if you like lol x

Elf is on .... love this movie!

La Mere yes it does look like your bump has dropped.

Sorry Sonia! I know what you are going through. DH's hours are all over the place! Hopefully we'll both get through it.

 

[La Mere]

Thanks, Sassy. I thought maybe it was just in my head

 

[sassy_mom]

So last night I had the weirdest feeling ... I swore I felt the baby's head bumping right INSIDE my pelvis. It was the strangest thing ever.

???

DH just told me that his work is wanting to do a Christmas party and it is at a really fancy place .... so I went dress hunting online. Thinking of maybe doing something like this?

That's really cute.

I was invited to a party with some of DH's friends. Around here it's common to have ugly sweater get-togethers. I may need to be creative.

 

[La Mere]

Sassy I love that dress! If I had the money, I would buy one myself!

Hey ladies!! I wasn't on yesterday as I had my little shower with the church ladies which was wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised by all the gifts they gave me. There were 5 ladies and we had brunch and chatted for a while, then they gave me my presents I got a little bit of everything diapers, clothes, toys, organic lotion and wash. One of the ladies made me a diaper cake which had blankets, rattles, teethers, thermometer, nail clippers pacifiers etc. I honestly didn't expect them to get me things and had said I was excited to just hang out with the girls.

Today I spent a while in the baby's room organizing my new stuff did a load of laundry and have one baby load of laundry left. Basically only have to sanitize toys and pacifiers and figure out the swing (which I think was broken in our move. ) dh has to shampoo the rugs and I have a few things left to buy. I may go pick them up tomorrow if I have time after my nst and before dd gets out of school.

I'm nervous about my nst, I'm hoping my fluid level hasn't gotten any lower.
As far as bd'ing I too have been on pelvic rest since 23 weeks and if dr doesn't take me off, I'll be taking myself off at 37weeks.

Well now that I'm caught up and have rambled I'm heading to bed.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

We still dont have sex and i dnt even care lol...

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Ugh! My pregnancy brain is messing with me big time. On my preview post I wrote " If I wasn't too attractive to that man" What I meant was "If I wasn't soo attracted to that men" Psh, God knows I don't feel "Too Attractive to him" right now! Hahahaha.

I'm seriously getting to that 'sweet' place where I really just want my baby here, not in tummy anymore. We just went out and I waddle so much and have to go so slow, I feel like I have to pee so bad, I'm always HOT HOT HOT, sleepy and for some reason my hormones were on Rage Mode today... I just felt like fighting with somebody haha, thankfully hubby wasn't the one to fight with.

Glad everything looks ok Darkstar, I was wondering if I would get a text at some point from you saying you were in labour!

Sonia im so so sorry you're having a rough time with DH's work and also you finishing up at work, just the stress you dont need right. Dont even worry about your replacement, he couldnt be as nice as you hopefully DH's schedule works out soon.

Melly, how rude of those people not to bother replying to DS's invite! I would be pissed too!

Beautiful LOW bump La Mere!!

Cutest dress Sassy!! Get it!

Snow, so glad you had a nice shower, I was given a baby cake too on the weekend! It's such a great idea and always has practical stuff!

Boo to being at work and so tired today

Is anyone doing hypnobirthing? I've been watching some videos online and downloaded some relaxation music to play during the birth. I sort of did it with my first birth unintentionally.. I found when I was having contractions I found a method of meditating and tuning everything else out to cope with the pain so I'm really interested in practising it prebirth this time so I can do it this time around. OH is very supportive as he has an interest in meditation (he used to be a monk lol).

sassy

[darkstar]
