***January Jellybeans***~ 35 BABY GIRLS & 23 BABY BOYS BORN ~***

[millward329]

I think our hormones are kicking in again ladies.....at least we have each other to understand. I have serious baby brain at the moment, like in the early weeks. I have to keep checking to make sure I know what I'm doing, have everything and not leaving things in random places. Hope everyone has a good day today

 

[beccybobeccy]

Lets all agree that there is no such thing as too trivial on this thread. Everyone should feel free to discuss the big and the small irks... !!

I feel that the Jellybean mummas are all genuine. I have to believe that. Why would I believe otherwise? We have to assume this otherwise whats the point.

Hopefully people are clever enough to report these things to an admin when things take a different turn.

LittleMrs - Your OH doesn't need to worry. They realised he was genuine and the Mods backed him up (if its the guy I think it it is)
I hope he's not put off posting. As far as I'm concerned he has as much right to be here as anyone.

Hey Ladies

Yey to Sar for your results and Naomi that ur hubby will be home on Xmas! I got bruised bum bone feeling from about 20 weeks - 25 weeks if I sat down too long, but havent had it lately. Its to do with your centre of gravity shifting so all the weight goes on your coxic (sp).

Well I had a massive cry when hubby got home yday about my parents leaving and then about this damn holiday in feb and he said he will try and get it sorted, but who knows. Anyway, now all our visitors have left its back to being on my own so trying to get used to that again. I have quite a bit to do to keep me busy but my motivation seems to have gone out the window!

It must be so difficult for you to be so far from family but by the sounds of it you have a very supportive husband which must make things a bit easier. I hope you get the holiday sorted.

Well I had a massive cry when hubby got home yday about my parents leaving and then about this damn holiday in feb and he said he will try and get it sorted, but who knows.

Fingers crossed that everything will be okay



There has been a lot of drama in 3rd Tri forum today... love a bit of drama but its all a bit much really. It's much calmer here xxx

Thanks Beccy, I am def crossing my fingers!

Whats the drama? I always miss it as I am so far behind UK. There seems to have been a lot of drama over there lately, not good

The jist I got was that some guy had joined and was being very "perfect OH".... then "his wife" joined... and a few of the forum members started recieving PM's from both of them being completely inappropriate.

It was all a bit odd....and a bit scary... the threads are "I'm gonna be a daddy"... and then the one where he seems to have been outed was "Top bloke and nice girl". They've been locked now though.

lately things have been turning a bit nasty very quickly... must be all the hormones flying around...

Oh my god that is a bit scary that there are people that are not genuine on this forum. You put all your trust into people on here and then some weirdo's come along and abuse that trust!

I just wanted to say thank you to the lovely ladies who commented on my fb status today and especially Naomi for sending me a message asking how I was now feeling. Its nice to know that people care.

I didnt post in here about feeling ill as there are lots of ladies in here with complications, and problems and also 1 lady having her twins so early. I felt as if my problems today were just trivial compared to some of the things being posted in here, and didnt want to add any more negative thoughts.

The last few weeks I feel like Ive done nothing but moan and whinge about being/feeling ill and it isnt fair on you all. Sorry ladies x

You are welcome hun. I think it's nice that we can all support each other as I feel that even family don't seem to understand how I feel and get fed up with my moaning. It's nice to have other people who are going through the same pains and discomfort and we can sympathise with each other.

Wow... first day back at work and look at all I missed!

Don't have the numb bum bone (coccyx), but when I'm on my feet for a long time, I get a numb pubic bone- but painful at the same time, if you can imagine.

As for posting things on here vs facebook.... don't worry about what you post, especially here. At least on this thread you have a lovely bunch of women who want to help and who are going through similar things. I don't know about the rest of you, but I post WAY more on this thread than I post anywhere else, especially facebook. Here I know you can sympathize, or at least try to be sympathetic. Many of my friends on facebook just wouldn't get it and/or DO NOT want to hear it.

Work was ok today, but I had to remind myself to sneak into the breakroom and grab a snack every hour or so to make sure I kept my energy up (I'm on my feet all day at work, so it's not like I can just sit down and relax).

For some reason, I'm in a foul mood tonight. There's no good reason... I'm not mad at anything in particular... just pi$$y. I wonder if it's because my back hurts... or just over exhausted from going back to work after a week and a half... or if my LO is pi$$y from being in the brace for 12 hours straight today... or if I'm hungry... or what. All I know is I want it to go away so I don't slip up and take it out on somebody. OH is asleep right now, and I want nothing more than just to wake him up and make him rub my back and snuggle me and stay awake until I can fall asleep too... but I know that wouldn't be fair.

Thanks for listening to my rant again... I Feel like I may be complaining too much... hopefully I find more good stuff to write about too so I'm not just bringing negativity to this thread.

Aww thats what we are all here for. I think everybody is getting a bit fed up with being pregnant now so at least we have got a place to vent.

I think our hormones are kicking in again ladies.....at least we have each other to understand. I have serious baby brain at the moment, like in the early weeks.

I have baby brain too. I forget to get the meat out of the freezer almost every day so have to go shopping to get something else for dinner! It's driving me mad. Memory like a sieve!!


I looked at my belly in the mirror this morning and it is hanging down so low now! It really looks as though it has dropped but, I don't feel as though it has engaged. Really strange.

Hi Ladies, I have posted pics of my baby shower here if you'd like to take a look: https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-third-trimester/460443-my-baby-shower.html#post7721993

 

[LittleMrs]

I'm off for a meal tonight to celebrate my Dad's 55th. He's become such a sweetie since he found out he's going to have a grandaughter. He's spent years complaining he doesn't have any sons and another girl comes along and he can barely contain his excitement! So much for trusting what your parents say. He's been so lovely, coming around to fix things and being overly concerned about everything - he's never been your typical over-protective dad and I as a teen I could've sworn he didn't really care - who knew that all I needed to do was get pregnant! Lol. Should be lovely though - OH and my dad get on great - my dad has no sons and OH lost his dad when he was 18. Plus there'll be food. And to top it off it's Friday AND I've only got 55 more das until due date - 5 days until my next set milestone. Plus I had a good observation at school.

It's a good day, ladies. Hoping to finish it by falling into a deep deep sleep, last night was none too productive on the sleep front. If I get a good sleep it'll be perfect today. I'm hoping everyone else also has a good day - got my fingers crossed tightly. xx

 

[millward329]

Sounds good Tracy and well done on the obs : )

 

[blessed]

So I had a maternity 'lingerie' photo shoot about 2 weeks ago and got my pictures in... I struggled with even wanting to do it (I mean, it's so easy to cross that fine line of tasteful half naked modeling with disgusting half naked modeling... especially when you're preggo!) but I'm actually fairly pleased with them! Just thought I would share with my fellow Jellybeans!

I was 30 weeks along at the time

Beautiful! OH and I are trying to figure out time to do it. He's a professional photographer as well, and I'm not too bad at makeup. It's wardrobe I'm worried about. I'm not sure whether to do a tasteful artistic nude or something grecian or lingerie or what. (don't worry, I won't post any nude pics on here. lol) Congrats!

 

[blessed]

Thanks!

I would wait as long as possible! I wish my bump was bigger for my pictures but thats okay... my belly is still not much different than it was 2 weeks ago anyway!

I would love to see your pictures Disney! I bet they will be gorgeous! Plus you'll be taking them while looking at hubby so they'll have that extra 'pizazz' to them

 

[sar35]

Blessed your photo's are gorgeous! My little man likes to push out on the right side. Went out on my own today for the first time in 2weeks felt odd but I have coffee with a pg friend so that was nice, gotta get used to MIL not being here after tomorrow!
So how do we do the multi quote thing?

 

[blessed]

Thanks Sar! Your LO likes to stick out right, while mine prefers the left.. lol! She actually lays transverse a lot too... ouch! I bet it was nice having some time with another preggo friend! That's always good! In our neighborhood girls are popping out babies left and right.... at the end of October, 2 girls each had a baby... beginning of November another woman had twins... and just 3 nights ago that same woman's sister had a baby boy! There's definitely something in the water around here....

I don't think we've had a conclusion on the multi-quote question... but I think I might have figured it out!

There's a little button in our Message box that says Wrap Quote on it.... when you click on it the quote tags come up..... after the word QUOTE you would put the "=" and the name of the person who said the quote.... It worked in one of my last posts, but it could have been beginners luck... lol

 

[Disneydancr]

Sar... I know someone else already answered your question, but I'll reiterate it. Down on the bottom of each person's message, there are 2 purple boxes. Quote and thanks. In between them are 2 other links. one is QR, which is quick reply. the other looks like this: "+ If you click on the quotation mark/plus symbol, it will save your intention to quote it, without taking you to the reply screen. You can do this with as many messages as you'd like, even if they're on different pages. When you finally click "Post Reply" at the bottom of the page, it will include all of the messages you have quoted.

Hopefully I didn't confuse you more, as my explanations always tend to be lengthy.

Thanks Naomi, it can be hard at times but generally its all fine! I feel like my bump has dropped too and I'm def getting a more 'heavy' feeling lower down, but I don't think she's engaged yet. Mentioned it to doc this morn and she said its prob coz shes head down now

I'm off for a meal tonight to celebrate my Dad's 55th. He's become such a sweetie since he found out he's going to have a grandaughter.

Wowzers Blessed, love your pics! Like ur journal buddies, I like the 3rd one, but they are all gorgeous! I was thinking of having some photos done and have contacted a local photographer but lately I've been thinking I can't be bothered, so not sure if I'm going to go ahead with it.

So how do we do the multi quote thing?

Sar if you look at the quote button next to someones post, there's a little + to the right of it, press that on every post you want to quote and then on the last one press quote.

 

[hodbert]

Disney gave a far better explanation than me!!

 

[Disneydancr]

hodbert, do you have unlimited text? since we're in the same timezone, I wonder if we should be text buddies in case of emergencies. I have a text buddy, but she seldom posts on this thread, unfortunately. My cell doesn't have internet either, so I have no way of posting on here unless I'm at home.

Hey Disney

Not sure about unlimited texts as it comes out of hubbys wage before we see it, but am happy to be text buddies! My bump buddy's been AWOL for months on here now too! I'll PM you.

 

[Char.due.jan]

Can I be added to the list?

I'm Charlotte, 17, from the UK.. I'm 29 weeks tomorrow and due on the 29th January with a baby boy

 

[jms895]

Evening ladies, how are you all? TFI Friday!

 

[Jolene]

LittleMrs, I'm glad you had such a great day, sleep tight

Welcome Charlotte

 

[Jolene]

I'm in my 2nd last box of my ticker I just realised, how cool is that! I used to look at those 2 last boxes and think I was never going to get there
