nikki
how r u and baby? hope ur feeling better

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Contractions slowed down thankfully, just resting with my legs raised because theyre so swollen all of a sudden... I have my appointment tomorrow morning at 9am, so will update everything...

 

[Soniamillie01]

Dh is back at work tomorrow too after being off since the Thursday before Christmas, he so wanted baby to come today so he didn't have to go back tomorrow! Hopefully he'll only have to be there a day or two before he starts his paternity leave!!!!

Sonia, did your dh get his paternity leave sorted?

Sort of, he doesn't qualify for statutory paternity leave as needed to be there for 26 weeks I think, so they are allowing him to take it as holiday as he has two weeks which needs using up. So as soon as baby decides it's time he'll go on leave.

Hopefully neither of us and our dh's will have long to wait x

 

[Cailidgh]

keepig you in my thoughts nikki. hop that swelling sods off!

 

[brieri1]

I would check my cervix, but I have no idea what to feel for. How do you tell what's going on up there?

 

[Nikkilewis14]

I appreciate it ladies, u keep me going lol.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Congratulations Lauren!!! He is beautiful!

HAPPY NEW YEARS LADIES!!

After 3 days of crazy nut cleaning I officially ran out of places to clean. Hubby and I just finished soaping down the rug. I even decided we needed new curtains for the living room and had to get them. I'm now relaxing a second before I go start new years lunch/dinner. I've also been out shopping the last couple of days, I was out walking/shopping for about 6 hours sunday and 4 and something yesterday. Hubby complains too much... he says I'm too slow while waddling... lol.

Holy nesting batman! picked up toys, vacuumed, cleaned living room, cleaned fire place, Changed sheets and made king sized bed, moved glider back into living room, got dirty laundry out of bedroom. Now I'm resting before putting up swing and bassinet. Im resting now while my hubby cleans the window seals The seals are crap where we live and winter time means mildew *yuck!* So he has the bleach spray out and Im in another room

 

[Kaiecee]

same here deedee dh always tells me im too slow and i remind him i'm carrying a human inside me lol

 

[Kaiecee]

[darkstar]

Here is the stuff I used that I am glad I packed:
My own toiletries
Socks and slippers. Keep in mind, your feet are likely to swell significantly after being on fluids for your c-section.
Comfy yoga pants/pajama pants.
Hairband and hairties.
Laptop/Phone.
Comfortable heavier blanket to feel like you're sleeping at home.
SNACKS

I packed everything for me and baby in one duffle bag and kept it light. I honestly wore the gown the first 2 days because of the bleeding anyway. I didn't find myself wanting for anything except that my adapter for my laptop died and I couldn't use it while I was in the hospital!!!

Thanks I was wondering I know I'm brining. My own pillow and I think I have enough clothes but like u ill probably be in the gown for a day or 2 and I'm bring a portable DVD player to watch some movies when baby is sleeping and dh is gone to rest at home what kind of snack did u being ?

I think that DH was hoping not to have to go back to work too, but he is back in on Thursday (the 2nd of Jan is a public holiday in Scotland). He should get two weeks paternity leave and was hoping originally to take some annual leave on top of that, but he has changed jobs since I got pregnant and January in his new job is the busiest time of the year. It is going to be so strange when he goes back to work on Thursday and I'm not getting up to go to work as well! I'm going to really miss him.

I've been on leave since dec 13 and it feels really odd to not be going back to work tomorrow like most people I know, very odd.

Gosh so it does! It's odd how one says today and one days tomorrow! My friend just called me and is convinced he will be here tomorrow.

I'm feelin really sicky tonight, which I hope isn't this bug that has been going around as a few of my friends and family have had it. Baby has been really fidgety today which makes me wonder if he has moved. I know it's quite unlikely at this stage with limited space but boy did it hurt! I normally can feel what I can only describe as two fists in my lower uterus and when I bend forward I can really feel them, that feeling has completely gone now and having alot of movements up top which haven't had for a while. Who knows!

How are you enjoying time with your son?

It has certainly been a strange time of year to go on maternity leave. I worked until the 20th Dec, so for me it's just felt like I'm on Xmas holidays as I have technically been on annual leave. Official maternity leave starts on Thursday!
