good morning ladies! I'm feeling much better today. Thanks for all the hugs yesterday. I'm so jealous of all you ladies talking about snow. We don't get any of that here in Southern California. Finally got some good sleep last night... lots of weird dreams though. oh well. At least I didn't wake up til almost 4 for my first pee and then slept again until almost 8. woohoo!

 

[blessed]

I think my nesting is starting to kick in! FINALLY!

 

[jms895]

Aww would love to meet you , Gemma, Phoebe and Ben Racheal, have fun!

Yeah it would be really nice to meet up. Caine and Ben are similar ages and Hayley and your little boy are due exactly a week apart. Have you ever managed to meet up with Gemma?

Will have to arrange something when everyone is settled and sorted.

No never met would love to tho and we are not that far! xx

Wowzers Regina! Wish I looked that bloody good! I'll have to give the underwear thing a whirl, although may have to do some forestry work first

Tell me about it - I can't even shave my legs.

Am in so much discomfort this evening. Swear I have a head way down in my crotch but a backside still under my ribs. Still getting heartburn all the time but the number of times I have to get up to pee during the night has doubled - it was easily once an hr last night.

So IM back from my appt. it didn't go well at all. My belly is measureinng 28. I have however gained 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks but apparently not in the belly. I have to go for an u/s sometime this week (have not booked it yet as the phone is busy) So its looking like im going to have another tiny IUGR baby. I was really hoping that my baby would keep growing this time. I jsut hope this one is healthy and weighs at least the same as my little girl if not more. Send me some fat baby dust ladies!!!!!

 

[blessed]

Mom2B - prayin for ya!

I was trying to find a good smiley for 'fat baby' but this is the best I got....

Hahahaha, funny you mentioned that. I shaved my legs yesterday and after doing one leg I was so exhausted I really considered leaving the other leg for another day but that would have just been weird

I am also feeling so uncomfortable. She is also head down with her feet constantly in my ribs

I'm going for my check up tomorrow so I'll get to see my little Mackenzie and find out how much weight she has gained

 

[Jolene]

Laura, I hope the little one keeps gaining. Is there anything they can give you?

Blessed,you're hilarious. Where on earth did you find that?

 

[blessed]

lol... I was searching through the smileys and its the very last one!

Yay for your appointment tomorrow! Seeing your LO will make the uncomfortableness go away... for the time being... hehe

 

[Mom 2B]

The only thing they can do is put me on bedrest again and hope that baby gains weight. With my daughter i was on bedrest for almost 7 weeks and she only gained approx 13 oz. but it was not hospital bedrest so i probably cheated more than i should have. They told me to spend most of the day in bed or the couch, which i did but i also did go out and do a little shopping atleast once a week. Im not wanting bedrest again because i dont have someone to take care of my Lo while i lay around doing nothing. The only thing really that i can do is totally quit smoking and its not guaranteed. I have cut back since being PG but quitting was just to hard with work and my Lo and my mothers health issues. I am determined to cut back even more now but im still not sure i can completely quit.
all they will do is monitor me with growth u/s's and bedrest. If baby shows no signs of distress they will let me go until full term. but if fluid is low or heart rate slows or kicks slow they will take him out. He will grow better onthe outside anyways as long as he is healthy and lungs are developed. I really want to keep him in but if hes not going to grow and is healthy enough i will let them take him out early so he can catch up.
I might not be on here as much during the day now becuase i usually go on when im downstairs having a smoke and im going to try not to smoke as much. And im even thinking about smoking only outside now so ill want to smoke less and stay warm. My Lo will not let me be on the laptop while upstairs so i might only be on at night after shes in bed. But ill try to get on.

 

[jms895]

Thinking of you Mom2be and hope all is ok with LO xx

 

[naomicourt]

glad you got snow Rachael, we were promised it but not got it today, we did yesterday... im still hopefull, went to Sainsburys and its manic in there, im stocked up now.
Naomi you are full term now so your baby can come at anytime wowee...
We get our date for section next tues cant believe its neary here! My OH said 'but you've still got 9months left' lol bless him
I bought some non alchoholic mulled wine last christmas from M&S and I really fancy some but its got bits in it, and no use by date.. do you think its meant to have bits in it? Do you think its still in date? We've got some alchoholic stuff that we must of got last year too and that sell by date is 2012, im not gonna drink that obviously but wondered why the non alchoholic stuff didnt have a date!

Not quite full term, will be by Sunday though! I can't believe how quick it is going now.

Has anyone else looked when the dates for full moons are in January? I noticed the other day that there is one on the 19th January, so fingers crossed it might start things off for my due date (22nd).

Yes I have been keeping an eye on the moon chart lol. The next one is on 21st December so we may have a few births around that time.

Oooh full moons

Naomi you are full term in 6 days

I have been soooo busy today even cleaning windows NEsting again

I predict baby will come between 38 and 39 weeks for me!

I know! Wahoo!

I have been nesting today too. I really hope there is not long for us now. I can't wait to start reading birth stories!

Hi ladies

I had a terrible nights sleep My brain would not shut off. 34 weeks today Have a fav Monday everyone.

Boo for no sleep but, yay for 34 weeks!!

good morning ladies! I'm feeling much better today. Thanks for all the hugs yesterday. I'm so jealous of all you ladies talking about snow. We don't get any of that here in Southern California.

Glad you are feeling better today hun. I'm not sure if I want the snow now actually as looking at the news it is causing ao many problems accross the country it looks a bit scary.

Wowzers Regina! Wish I looked that bloody good! I'll have to give the underwear thing a whirl, although may have to do some forestry work first

Tell me about it - I can't even shave my legs.

I can feel a head down below too. Feels so strange doesn't it and heartburn every evening! I am getting through so much Gaviscon!

So IM back from my appt. it didn't go well at all. My belly is measureinng 28. I have however gained 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks but apparently not in the belly. I have to go for an u/s sometime this week (have not booked it yet as the phone is busy) So its looking like im going to have another tiny IUGR baby. I was really hoping that my baby would keep growing this time. I jsut hope this one is healthy and weighs at least the same as my little girl if not more. Send me some fat baby dust ladies!!!!!

Aww, lets hope LO gains some weight soon. I don't mean to be rude but, wouldn't giving up smoking help baby to gain some more weight?

 

[Mom 2B]

yes quitting will help and as of tomorrow im working really hard to do just that. its a lot harder than i thought it would be. I always told OH that when i get pg id just quit cold turkey....but its harder than i thought. I tried with my daughter ad was doing really good until some test results came back for Trisomy 18 with a 1 in 50 chance of having it. I went crazy for a whole weekend worrying and smoked alot. but did cut back again after i foundout shes was fine.

OH and everyone else i know basically thinks smoking is not a big deal. everyone i know smoked while pregnant and NONE of them has small babies. So Oh has not been helpful with me wanting to quit for this baby...although now he says he wants to quit too. now that we know how tiny my little girl was and that its looking like my boy will be the same....now he wants to help me quit. Its hard to quit when your partner wont quit smoking inthe house or aroundyou and will not tell friends they can not smoke around me. In the end thou...it is my choice and im making sure everyone knows there is no more smoking around me or they can all go away!!!

 

[LittleMrs]

Naomi - my first major braxton hicks were the last full moon, so painful they woke me up! I'll be 37 weeks on December 16th so I'm reckoning 21st will be about it for me then. If I remember rightly, lots of other jellybeans experienced bad BH that night too. Numbers will be shooting up. How exciting/petrifying.

Laura I found that only smoking outside the house helped - I'd get into my PJs early in the evening and snuggle up with a book, no way I wanted to get changed back into my normal clothes to go and stand outside in the freezing cold. Nearly a year since I quit now. Woop woop. Having said that, I got to a year before and then failed miserably but this time I've got a better reason to stay quit.

 

[Disneydancr]

good for you mom 2b. I went through similar things when I found out I was pregnant. I didn't quit til almost 20 weeks! OH isn't smoking around me though...although he just goes outside so he still reeks of it when he comes back in. I've gotten used to it now though. hold strong, and if your/his friends won't stop smoking around you, take it upon yourself to go somewhere else. Carrot sticks help too to take away the hand-to-mouth fixation thing. feel free to pm me if you want to talk about it more.

Well done hun, that would be a great achievement if you did give up, for yourself as well as for your son and daughter.

 

[jms895]

I quit when I found out I was preg and I have not had a drag in 7 months I am so proud of myself. With Caine tho I had a crafty one every so often and felt guilty the whole time I really regret it! I know how hard it is!
