Well annoyed today as went to docs for a scan and then results as doc thought my fundal measurement was quite big, and when we got there they said the girl who booked us in for scan had done it wrong and so we cldnt have it today. It's like the 3rd or 4th time our appointment has been wrong for whatever reason and nobody contacted us yet again. It's just so annoying as I don't have a car to get there and train/bus would take over an hour so hubby takes time off work for nothing! Grr!!!

You poor thing! That is so annoying especially as your husband has to take the time off work! Lets hope they get it right next time.

My fundal measurement was too big too so I might have to have a growth scan soon. So scared I'm cooking a 10lber!! lol

Good evening ladies How is everyone today?

I am tired. Been stripping the paper off the walls in the spare room, ready for painting. It will be LO's nursery when she moves out of our room.

Hodbert, I can't believe they messed up your scan appointment! I would be so mad!

Jojo and Jolene!! 3r tri for us as of tomorrow! Wow.. 2nd tri has flown by! I hope to be there with you all the way to the end of our journeys!

I had been told that it does fly by after 30 weeks. I'm just not looking forward to the tiredness, or the aches and pains.. but it will all be worth it!

When did you ladies have your first fundal measurement taken? I have not had my bump measured yet I'm hoping midwife does it at my next meeting on Tues..

[hodbert]

I know I was fuming, but apart from venting my preg hormones all over the doctor when it really wasnt her fault, what can you do? And naomi - I know what you mean about the big baby! I'm only 4ft10 and *was* quite slim so I'm freaking out! Hubby was 9lb when he was born so the chances are a good thing....epidural here I come!

 

[jms895]

Ahhh just got home! So knackered been out since 6am
Car knackered again as OH's van, both clutches gone how much bad luck? It doesnt rain it pours for me

 

[Disneydancr]

I had it measured on my 28 week appointment so you should get it measured on your next appointment.

Oh no poor you. I think I am going to op for a c-section this time as I had an emergency one last time so may go a bit smoother if I have an elective.

Wow I has so much reading to catch up on after not being on for a few days. Basically I can't remember who I need to reply to so gonna cover it all by saying BOO for the bad news posts (wrong appts, cramp etc.,) and YAY for the good ones (birthday parties and nursery making etc.,)!! Lol!!!

My news today is that we had a 'stay and play' morning in our class where we invite the parents or grown ups who look after the children to stay and watch what we do everyday! Its always lovely to see the parents get so involved with what the children are doing and usually knackering, however being pregnant and managing kids and parents!!! Well, that's another kettle of fish altogether!!! Lol! I tried to stick to the routine of literacy first thing then independent play, then snack and then playing then phonics but it all goes a bit pear shaped when youv got an audience of about 15 parents watching your every move! And the kids just wanna be with their grown up all the time. Had a lovely morning tho if very tiring! If that wasn't enough I then had to do PE this afternoon so I am now asleep on my feet hehe!

I sorted all bean's stuff out at the weekend that we have been given or I've bought and he has so many clothes! More than his daddy anyway. Not me.....lol! He has been an active little monkey too, keeping me awake in the night after I get up to pee. And I'm even starting to feel him move around when I am active now, usually its when I sit down that I notice him most but walking round asda today he was kicking away! When I come to think of it I was in the biscuit aisle at the time.......

Is any one else having a baby shower thrown for them? I know for us uk girls its seen as a very american thing to do but my friends want to do it for me bless them.

Sending lots of mummy shaped hugs to you all xxxx

 

[beccybobeccy]

I would love a baby shower... I'm just gonna keep hinting and hope someone pays attention lol!!

 

[Faff&Fidget]

Smiffy! lol @ LO having a wriggle in the biscuit isle.. maybe he recognises it hehehee.. Mind you, I can't talk. I have a thing for biscuits at the minute too. In fact i'd love some now but don't want to end up with heartburn at bed time!
Oooh baby shower! I think my sister is planning one for me too. I have no idea what happens at these. But I will be making fairy cakes and thinking of some daft baby related games that we can all have a giggle about.
I bet you are counting down the days til your maternity leave starts, bless you.

Oooh i've just realised, I have a 4D scan booked for next Tues. Crikey! I had forgotten all about it.. Pregnancy brain strikes again!

I am having a baby shower thrown for me but am Canadian so it is the norm. I just posted nursery piccies in my journal if anyone is interested!

I had a baby shower when I was about 24 weeks, as I was home on UK for a visit so it was only time I could see my friends to do it. It is an American thing really but I have such a good time! We opened prezzies, had food and the girls had bought a couple of game books with various games in so we played a few of those.

I know I was fuming, but apart from venting my preg hormones all over the doctor when it really wasnt her fault, what can you do? And naomi - I know what you mean about the big baby!

Oh no poor you. I think I am going to op for a c-section this time as I had an emergency one last time so may go a bit smoother if I have an elective.

I was thinking of electing for a c-section, mainly due to the fact that we r in US and hoping to return home with baby as early as poss so it would help us plan better, in the end though I decided that wasnt really a good enough reason so am going to try the natural (with drugs!) route! I don't do pain v well!

 

[sar35]

i may have some sort of shower when I leave work next week but that'll be it really

 

[Jolene]

3 Trimester Today!!!!!!!!! Congrats to Faff and Jojo too! I am so excited to be 27 weeks I don't know what to do with myself, lol.

I think it's strange NOT to have a baby shower. Over here it is the norm but it is supposed to be a surprise. My SIL is organising mine. I know because she's taking me to a baby store over here to do a registry - I can't wait!

I've been getting leg cramps which wake me in the early morning and the heartburn and indigestion has been annoying

 

[hodbert]

I can't sleep got indigestion and cant breathe. Poop.

 

[sar35]

happy 3rd tri

 

[jojo-m]

YAY congrats to you too Jolene and Faff 3 months left!!! (whidh still sounds ages - lets say 13 weeks)

I didn't get a shower first time round so very much doubt I'd get one this time, infact none of friends or family ever had a shower, guess it is classed as American here! Mind you I know so many pregnant friends we would be at 'showers' every week at the moment!

Doing my first bank shift today in 6 months but its on a maternity ward so although its busy its not back breaking like general nursing ward so quite looking forward to it!

[Jolene]

Shame Hodbert Hope you eventually got some sleep!

Jojo - what is a bank shift? What do you get to do in the maternity ward. I also want to play with newborns, lol.
