35 weeks today ARGGGGGGHHHHH! Antenatal was all about BF last night and i learnt some new stuff like Biological Nurtuting which i found interesting. OH was bored tho lol Made it all seem very real tho talking about the life source you are for the LO! Had some major mad panics in my head about not being ready!!!!

Sending wishes for good sleeps! xxxx

Hi ladies

We've had loads of snow tonight, hoping son's school is shut tomorrow lol cos I don't want to go out in it and don't trust him not to fall over in it on his own! Only 3 weeks til they break up now

I've also been nesting which is worrying - I haven't done that one before! Maybe it's a good sign but baby has to stay put for another 2 weeks if I'm going to get my homebirth.

Hope everyone is well and staying warm x x x

 

[hodbert]

Hey everyone, hope u r all well. Had a much better sleep last night so yey. Hubby back to work today after Thanksgiving time off so alone again, boo! Got too used to him being around. That and the elephants upstairs are driving me mad again! Trying to console myself by watching Beauty and the Beast Also finished the rug for my nursery but its far too small really and looks a bit silly. Oh well!

 

[Mom 2B]

Oh im sure it looks fabulous. I love making things for my kids. I crochet but only know one pattern for a blanket. I have given them as gifts to my neices and nephews and made my daughter one. Ive been working on one for my boy since I found out he had a penis at 20 weeks but my daughter gota hold of my hook and lost it for about 3 weeks. I was really worried that I wouldn't get it done in time but its already half done now and with cutting back smoking im going to use crocheting to help keep my hands busy. i also recently found a baby hat and booties pattern that i think im going to try out.

 

[Jolene]

Hodbert, post a pic of the rug. I'm dying to see it. I wanted to make it too but I'm not going to have time Why don't you just keep going and make it bigger if it's too small?

Off to my appointment

 

[naomicourt]

Morning ladies. Well I had a rubbish sleep. Woke up at half four and couldn't get back to sleep.

Woke up to snow this morning! Only about an inch so far though so not too bad.

Well done on making a rug Lisa please send us a pic so we can see it.

Has everybody finished their nursery now?

Hope your appointment goes well Jolene.

xx

 

[sar35]

morning ladies, got lots of posts to catch up on!
to those that need them... hope you all got snow if you wanted it, sorry some of you still struggling with sleep!

 

[millward329]

Had a good baby shower last night, bean was well spoilt. A little overwhelmed by the end though. Slept on and off as feeling ill with a high temp, aches and shivers. Should I be worried? Taken paracetamol and made a bed in front of TV. Feeling sorry for myself and want my body back!

 

[jms895]

Tonnes and tonnes of snow again here

 

[emilyp83]

Morning!

I really need to start coming on here more often to keep up with the speed you ladies chat at!

Well done to everyone who has stopped or is stopping smoking. I had a really hard time and still had a few crafty ones up until July if I was really stressed out but they started making me feel sick so it got easy to stop altogether. Feel so much less guilt ridden now!

Everyone seems to be nesting but I'm really not at the moment. I'm gonna try and move a cupboard back into the nursery out of our other spare room today so I can start organising things a bit.

OH is no better and has now rung me to say he has to go to Shropshire for 4 days on a course. Great idea since I'm having all these problems and baby could come early. He'd be at least 3.5 hours away or goodness knows how long if it was rush hour! Starting to wonder if there's any way to sort this out and I've already tried everything. He seems so desperate to find a reason to leave me (ie that I'm cheating on him etc), I wonder if thats a good enough reason in itself and he just doesn't want to admit it and wants to find a way for it to be my fault that it didn't work out. Its killing me but I need to focus on keeping this baby safe and baking for as long as possible. I obviously can't rely on him.

Anyway, sorry for ranting on, its just nice to get it out. It really helps just reading about everyone else on here to keep me positive. Also I'm 33 weeks today so baby is cooking well!

Can't wait to see some piccies of people's nurseries and rugs etc, I'm just not that creative!

Thanks for the snow Jade Woke up to a blanket of snow this morning and it hasnt stopped snowing yet Snowman building I think later

I think Phoebe remembers the snow from last year she was only 3 months old but her face when we opened the back door was a picture. She was so excited and practically jumping out of her daddy's arms. Carried her down the garden to the car and she was in hysterics at the sounds our feet were making. She wanted to get down and walk but she has only been walking since beginning of October and I didnt want her to fall over in the snow

Hope everyone managed to get some sleep last night, have a lovely day today ladies.

Jade - Hope you manage to get to the dentist.

Susie - Keep wrapped up warm and take it easy. Hope your feeling better soon

 

[sar35]

no snow here, only rain Im starving, cant stop eating!!

 

[Jolene]

Thanks Naomi, my appointment went well. Mackenzie now weighs 2.6kg (5.7lb)! Doc estimates she will weigh about 3.6kg (7.9lb) when she's born as they are supposed to gain about 200g a week but she's gained 500g in 2 weeks.

My hubby is going away this weekend (only about a 3hr flight away) but the doc confirmed that it's fine for him to go as she won't make her grand entrance quite yet, lol.

Emily, sorry to hear about your OH!

Susie, I hope you feel better soon Glad you got spoilt at your baby shower.

 

[hodbert]

Hey ladies! Well it's 5am here and after a terrible night's sleep O have finally given up the ghost and got up. Will go back to bed in a while and try again, but for some reason my back is really aching and my bump is really heavy so I just cannot get comfy.

Hodbert, post a pic of the rug. I'm dying to see it. I wanted to make it too but I'm not going to have time Why don't you just keep going and make it bigger if it's too small?

Off to my appointment

Hey Jolene, will post a pic a bit later (its still dark atm), but it's really not very impressive. I would make it bigger, but I've already done that once - it was the size of a placemat - and to be honest I just cant be bothered! It take ages to do, I think I've spent about 30 hours on it so far!

Morning ladies. Well I had a rubbish sleep. Woke up at half four and couldn't get back to sleep.

I'm with you on the sleep Naomi, but at least I don't have LO to look after Aww I'm gutted I'm missing the snow, I missed the load in January you guys had too typical!

Had a good baby shower last night, bean was well spoilt. A little overwhelmed by the end though. Slept on and off as feeling ill with a high temp, aches and shivers. Should I be worried? Taken paracetamol and made a bed in front of TV. Feeling sorry for myself and want my body back!

Glad you had a good shower Millward! I had mine at 24 weeks when I was last home in UK, feels like forever away now! Hope u feel better soon though.

Morning!

Hey Emily - rant away that's what we're here for! Sorry things aren't any better with your OH, I can't imagine how tough it must be for you. Congrats on 33 weeks though! And you're not alone with the nesting, mine has just not kicked in at all, I've gone the other way, motivating myself is a bitch!!!

Has everyone seen the december dreamers are up to 19 babies now?? It's not even december yet - those LO's don't want to hold on!! I'm hoping I pop early as really dont want bubs to be born too close to xmas, but we all know she'll be an awkward so-and-so and wait until the latest possible time and I'll just be fat and miserable for xmas! Anyway, to you all!

 

[Mom 2B]

Good morning everyone!

Still no snow here. Its 9 degrees celsius already today so it looks like its going to be a nice day to take my little one out.
I'm getting really mad at my hospital. My dr faxed my u/s request yesterday at 10:30am and it clearly says they want my in this week. They told me if I didn't hear from the hospital within 2 hours to start calling them. I called atleast 30 times yesterday and got the machine every time. I woke up early today to start calling and still only get the machine. Why can't they just answer the phone or call me back. I have a feeling they will only be able to take me thursday morning and thats they day of the christmas party for the playgroup I take my Lo to every week. I really dont want to miss it, and Santa will be there too! I just wish they would answer the damn phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, we had the visitors. They came on Monday and did observations all day, but they didn't see me Today they were still in but, when the kids couldn't make it in, they decided that they'd seen enough to make a decision. And they decided we're..............outstanding! Woop woop. Unfortunately that'll be fast-track academy status coming up then.

Morning!

I really need to start coming on here more often to keep up with the speed you ladies chat at!

Emily Sorry things are going badly with OH - maybe he's just freaking out and doesn't know how to cope with it.

 

[jms895]

Wow been out all day and its still coming thick and fast! Over a foot now I cant believe the amount of snow!

Everyone ok? x

 

[millward329]

Yay for no more visitors Tracy and outstanding is amazing, well done to you and the team!
JMS how come you guys are getting so much snow? We've only had a little dusting in Lancaster so far....you think it's heading this way?

Feeling slightly better now after sleeping on the sofa most of the day....going to try for a bit without the paracetamol and see if the temperature has eased off.

 

[jojo-m]

we have had lots of snow here too! Its been great, roads aren't too bad, OH been getting about for work but we have nearly a foot of snow in the garden! its fab, I've had Corey out up to my friends and they've been running around mad in the snow, hubby about to take him sledging which I wanted to do but only had 4 hours sleep last night so far too tired!

Sorry for not replying to everyones posts there was just too many! Bit of good news, I hear my molesting midwife is off for a few weeks so I should be safe at my appointment next tues! x

 

[blessed]

There's no way we will be getting snow anytime soon here in Texas... lol... I was out in my flip flops just the other day!
