Sorry so many of you are feeling unwell.

Today is my v-day - yay!

Popped into estate agents this afternoon to see how things were going with the references - my boyfriends has come back fine and they are waiting for one bit of info to come back regarding me. I then had a missed call from the reference people who upon ringing them back couldn't work out why I had even been called. Apparently the only thing on my file is that my landlord is ringing or needs to be rung at 11am tomorrow (forgot which) so hopefully we will find out sometime tomorrow where we stand.

Today we picked up some colour charts and sat down to decide what colours to paint different rooms. We quickly made decisions and agreed on all the colours without the need for compromise.

I haven't felt Bean much today but had a listen on the doppler and eventually found the heartbeat and heard plenty of kicks. I just wish I could feel them all!

I am getting quite a few cramps at the moment and some pain in my pelvis which although isn't as bad as it was when we were on holiday it is driving me insane!!

hi may i join, im due 23rd with 2nd baby....

 

[Jolene]

How are you Jolene?

Hi hun, I'm feeling worse today and had a really bad night so I have made an appointment with my GP. Hope he can give me something to sort it out that is safe for baby. My obs says once I get the script I must call him to check that the meds are OK, so I feel I'm in good hands.

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone and I hope all the other ladies get well soon!

Welcome Peachypoo Do you know baby's gender yet?

Happy V day snowy willow"!

Welcome over Peachypoo!

 

[naomicourt]

OMG!! I have just realised that I only have 96 days left until baby is due!!!

 

[Natsku]

Oh hope all you ill people get better soon.

Had a midwife appointment yesterday, heartbeat sounded much clearer to me this time which was nice but my hemoglobin has gone down even more since last month despite me taking iron supplements. Has this happened to anyone else?

Also found out when my ante natal classes will be but they're only in Finnish so thats not so good, I'm hoping my OH will come with me and translate the bits I don't understand.

Happy V-Day Snowy-Willow

Happy V day snowy willow. Hiya peachy poo.

 

[rcbrown08]

congrats on all the recent scans ladies and so pleased to hear about all the healthy 's!! We go for our private scan on Monday and I am sooooo excited!! Any suggestions on whether to get 3d/4d or just stick with 2d? I am worried we may see too much with 3d/4d especially since we are staying

I have the same question, lovealittle. Staying team yellow but want 3D/4D scan, would be so disappointed though if we accidentally saw boy/girl bits during...decisions, decisions...

rcbrown - we had our private 3d/4d yesterday and I let the tech know before hand that we did not want to see gender and she advised us that she cannot 100% guarantee that we will not see anything but she will do her best not to go there and in all her years she has never spolied the suprise for anyone and I am happy to say that she didn't spoil it for us either! The 3d/4d is absolutely amazing and I am so happy we decided to do it!!! I say go for it!!

Thanks lovealittle! So glad things went well for you. I think we will go ahead and get the scan booked...can't wait!!!

 

[blessed]

Ooo antenatal classes... is it time to sign up for those??

 

[jojo-m]

Yay v day at last! X

 

[Jolene]

V-Day has arrived

Congrats on yours too, jojo - Now it's the 3 week count down to the 3rd Trimester!!!!!!!

 

[mum2be2011]

congrats to all the ladies what have reached V day. I will be joining you tomorrow

Sorry not been around much LO isnt very well at the moment and we have had OH's mum and step dad staying with us this weekend, LO had a fantastic weekend getting loads of attention, shame she was so grizzly on Sunday.

Bit pissed off at the moment as we have been planning LO's 1st birthday 'party' in Bristol (as OH's family live there) and we have had an email this morning from OH's dad saying that he is renting the house out and that not only can we not stay there but we now have no where to have LO's party. We were planning on going to the aquarium during the day and then doing food back at OH's dads house. What makes me laugh is the fact he didnt have the guts to phone OH and also the fact this has been arranged now for weeks. Grrr family sometimes.

Sorry for the rant ladies

[Rosykk]

[Peachypoo]

How are you Jolene?

Hi hun, I'm feeling worse today and had a really bad night so I have made an appointment with my GP. Hope he can give me something to sort it out that is safe for baby. My obs says once I get the script I must call him to check that the meds are OK, so I feel I'm in good hands.

Welcome Peachypoo Do you know baby's gender yet?

no team yellow at the mo,.... but really want to find out....

 

[Neko]

I almost forgot that I've reached V-Day. I was too busy at Disney World last week to think about it.

 

[LittleMrs]

Ooo antenatal classes... is it time to sign up for those??

Yup, nearly, but I'm a little vexed as all the classes in our area seem to be monday - friday during work hours. I know I'm allowed to take the time off work but I'd really rather go outside of work hours. It's not very fair to assume that all mums-to-be stay at home. Especially when the father-to-be classes are on a Saturday. Think there's a few assumptions being made there.

Sorry for the rant - I really wanted to go to the classes and I'm disappointed that my choices are upset everyone at work or don't go.
