January Jellybeans 2013!...

Dh woke me up at 5:30am now can't go back to sleep

 

[mellywelly]

We went out to a restaurant for dinner tonight as it's dh's birthday on Tuesday. I was soooo uncomfortable, I find it really hard to sit up as its really painful on my foo, I have to spread my legs and lean forward to not hurt. Felt a bit strange though sitting like that in public

I'm sorry Melly Do you think the bone is splitting? I hope not

Can that actually happen? I'm trying not to freak out now!

 

[mellywelly]

Hope you were able to enjoy the meal a little melly?

It's just dawned on me that they will let me go up to 10 days over which puts me at 12 Jan, that's like 5/6 weeks away! Are they having a joke? The thought of going that long is not pleasant - I'm shattered, feel huge, am ratty, can't sleep, am eating like a horse and that's just for starts! I'm definitely going to be trying all old wives' tales!

Yes I did enjoy it, although I couldn't eat anywhere near as much as normal and had really bad crampy wind all night

I can only go 10 days over too which puts me jan 10th. My sweep is booked for 2nd jan, but going to see if they will bring it forward to 31st dec to give me a better chance. Have they offered you a sweep?

 

[Soniamillie01]

No not as yet. Have midwife next Friday so will see if she mentions it or not. I'm going to start with the old wives' tails - have my gym ball out and will be bouncing on that this afternoon, pineapple all chunked up to pick at, hot curry for tea and hubby thinks he may get some hot sex. For note, we'll be trying the order above - hot sex is a last resort for me

I hate going out for dinner at the moment as feel that I just don't enjoy it at all, especially as I cannot enjoy all the nice food. If we're going to eat out I tend to ask if we can go for lunch which is when I can eat more and then don't eat dinner as still full.

Did you manage to move your son's party?

I'm waiting to get to 37 weeks proper before I start trying to speed things up. Then again maybe I should hold off on that since I want the house ready first. I plan to do some walking tho, they say stairs are especially good at helping effacement so I'll give it a go.

 

[Soniamillie01]

I'll mainly wait till 37 weeks which is Wednesday next week for me.

Still haven't decided whether to go to my work Christmas lunch on Thursday, it's a 3 hr journey, by train across London so have to tackle the underground as well. Part of me thinks no don't go but the other part of me really wants to go.

Hospital bag wise - how many bags are you ladies packing? Don't get me wrong I haven't packed excessively, well I don't think so but have my bits in one - toiletries, clothes, baby milk (in case milk doesn't come in), nappies etc and my clothes. I was then planning on a smaller bag for little man's clothes and then a bag for hubby. Sounds like I'm moving in though

 

[ARuppe716]

I'm packing one small suitcase for myself with toiletries, etc. Then I have out diaper bag with some clothes and whatnot for baby. Not sure what dh is doing... I may or may not let him pack things in with my stuff!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

I will have my own, hubby has his own, and baby has hers plus a boppy pillow, and our pillows..

 

[els1022]

Ladies, make sure you leave most of your bags in the car if you're just going to be assessed for labor! I feel so bad for the couples who come in with their hands full toting bags, pillows, etc just to be sent home a few hours later. DH or someone else can run out to the car if needed.

I'm almost ready for Christmas! I got almost everything bought and everything from Santa wrapped and hidden. Was up past midnight doing it though. Then DS woke up crying at about 530 because his boo boos hurt. His crying woke up daddy. Daddy had to take his bandaids off which made him start screaming. Then his screaming woke up brother, who started coughing so badly he couldn't get back to sleep. It was crazy around here this morning!

I had the absolute worst backache last night and cried until DH came in to rub it. Still having BH and the baby seems to get the hiccups once or twice a day.

Hope you feel better today and get some rest.

 

[DittyByrd]

I'm "nursing" my DH through a man cold and frankly feeling tired of all the whining. He didn't sleep well last night - boo hoo - wonder what that feels like for months on end.

Put the tree up this morning. Decorating will take forever as I am winded from just separating the branches. But I couldn't imagine not having a tree at Christmas. It just wouldn't be right.

 

[brieri1]

I wish I could sleep. I wake up like 4 times a night, every night, to pee and drink water. I've never been so thirsty in my life! I just keep reminding myself that 5 more days and I can safely birth her... So I'll probably start trying things, lol. Nothing big, just sex, nipple stimulation and spicy food. And probably more exercise.

I can be ur bump buddy! Its good because ull def have ur baby before me and i can update others for u...

I thought the same think with the swing and bouncer!! I also have a rock n play sleeper...i feel like getting a bouncer will be too much now...grrr..
