Not too bad, it's their job to try and wind me up and my job not to let them

finished marking one set of books, realised I had two sets left then realised, wrong again, it's actually three sets. And i've only got tomorrow night. Oh well. I'll just have to work very late tomorrow night. 6 weeks and 4 days to Xmas and mat leave (not that I'm counting).

Hodbert - things are definitely starting to sink in! I need to start essentials shopping too but I'm waiting until after the shower!

Abstersmum- that is just the craziest thing... Can you write a complaint letter?? Your LO is strong and will get through this! Praying for your strength!

 

[iprettii]

I have a 28wk appointment on wednesday and i'm extremely nervous because i'm sure they'll be taking blood, and doing the glucose and protein test. I'm nervous because it seems like so many negative things are surrounding me.

My girlfriend was pregnant she should have been maybe 19 wks and last thursday her water broke and friday morning she gave birth to a stillborn baby boy Then my co worker has high levels of protein and things aren't looking so great right now for her LO.

I just hope and pray that all is well with my LO

Smiffy, sounds like you had an eventful day.....so get the feeling I was in bed at 8:30pm! I just feel so much bigger now even though I can't have grown so much in one week. I think the rest has highlighted it because we began to feel half normal again so going back to four year olds is suddenly very tiring. I had a class like yours last year, not so mental this year but more cheeky and some that I can't take my eyes off. Spent a lot of time walking around yesterday dealing with social behaviours. It's ironic but I came away just feeling glad that no one had bitten another one and I didn't have to explain to a parent that their kid had got hurt! Going to attempt some actual teaching today : )
Little Mrs, good luck with those books and liking the sentiment that it is your job not to let them wind you up....how true those words are or we would be nervous wrecks by now.
Ipretii...I had gtt and 28 week appt last week, it's not so bad. They would have told you if you were going to have gtt so will probably just be the routine bloods. We all know someone who has experience losing a baby but try not to worry, so far so good huh?
Have a good day everyone, Susie : )

wow 4 pages since this morning! We're getting chattier and chattier every day! I think it's all the excitement of getting closer to January!

lovealittle1- yay!

Abstermum- is there any way you can change midwives?!?!? you were going through something scary, and she seemed to just make you even more scared and upset. Would you want her there when you're going through labor? And how dare ANY doctor tell you to research anything on Google???? The internet isn't regulated based on accurate facts! you could get the wrong advice. What crap!

Smiffy- I'm having my LO stick her feet and keep them right under my ribs too! She doesn't kick hard enough to hurt me, but she IS keeping me from slouching while I sit because if I slump over at all, I have a hard boney leg or knee digging into my ribs! It's wonderful to be able to prod my bump and feel different body parts now though!

iprettii- Don't worry!!!! I'm sure everything will be fine. Have you been feeling your LO move about and kick at all? If so, don't worry about still birthing. Plus, your baby is viable now, unlike your friends'. Just know that the testing your doc is doing is to make sure that both you and baby are healthy as possible- approach the appointment as a good thing!


Halloween was fun! I went trick or treating with my 6 year old God-Daughter in her neighborhood and she looked adorable as a pirate. I did scary makeup- didn't really incorporate my bump, as I couldn't find the supplies to do what I wanted.
Bittersweet story though: My OH works at an amusement park out here which hosts a Halloween special event all through October, so he had to work late... he didn't see me while I was getting ready for trick-or-treating. He finally got off of work around 1230 and was going to the bar to celebrate with the rest of the cast and crew a great end of the season. I was invited; he told me to meet him there. When he saw my makeup he hated it! He said I did a really great job with it (especially since it only took me 5 minutes) but he couldn't stand seeing me like that. He said if it was anyone else, he could just keep it in his mind that it was fake, but since it was me, he couldn't kiss me or even look at me when I was looking so beat up. I think it was really sweet.
The bitter part? I couldn't stand that he couldn't kiss me or look at me so I went into the bathroom to wash my face- and all I had to use were hard paper towels and hand soap. I woke up this morning with my face COVERED in an EXTREMELY ITCHY rash that still hasn't gone away. Any suggestions?

Absersmum you poor thing that is awful! Midwives really annoy me at times! They have no tact at all.
I really hope everything goes ok and baby stays put until full term. Lots of hugs. xxx

Hodbert have fun shopping. It's so exciting getting all of the essentials for baby and like you say, it makes it feel so more real. Make sure you stock up on lots of nappies! I used to change Eloise about 8-10 times a day!

I had a great time Halloween. Eloise really enjoyed getting all the sweets and chocolate and everyone cooed and ahhed at how cute she looked, bless her.

Well I am really struggling to sleep now. It doesn't seem fair that we can't catch up on sleep before baby arrives, I really don't want to prepare myself for sleepless nights, I just want to sleep! Lol

I can't believe it is November already and that some of us will be having our babies next month!!!! Really not long to go now. How exciting! I can't wait for updates and pictures of our babies to start coming through.

Hope you are all well.

Sorry Disney I'm not sure what you could use on your face. The only cream I can think of for itchy skin is E45.

Hi Sar, how you feeling today hun? Hope jellybean is behaving and not causing you any more problems or worry Fingers crossed you have no more problems.

Big up to the teachers and others that are still working, im gutted I started my maternity leave when I did as I would of been signed off sick and would of got full pay! never mind, its done now and work have Ofsted in this week so thats a bonus that im not there.
I got a letter from the tax man saying id underpaid my tax by £340 so ive got to pay that back by april next year and its got to come out my wages, i told them im on mat leave and they said i can start paying for it when i go back but the repayments will be higher then! Why cant they owe me money
I have text buddies now so if i go in hospital again i can stay in contact with you all

LittleMrs, I don't know how you do it! I would have smacked him in his mouth and then probably gotten locked up. What grade is this? I can handle naughty children but not rude children.

Disney, you looked awful! I'm surprised you didn't scare your little god-daughter away, lol. But well done on the make up. I hope the rash clears up soon

iprettii, sorry to hear about your friend That's really sad! But just remember that you're now 28wks and all is well so far, I'm sure your appointment is going to go so well. All the best luv

Smiffy, looks like you got really spoilt at your baby shower, lucky girl. I like the idea they had for everyone to design a bib/vest. That's really special. Were there any good ones?

Sar, I'm glad you're home and hope bubs bakes a little longer!

Not sure how it translates to grades. I teach 11-16 yr olds. This kid was 12/13. He's an exception, though I do tend to work with the kids who have learning problems and they can be a bit more aggressive through frustration or other problems at home. Having said that, some are lovely, no matter what their learning difficulty - looking forward to tomorrow, I have my weakest but my best class, they're all just so gorgeous, sweet and enthusiastic. Love 'em.

Morning Jellybeans... Hope everyone is doing well...

Had MW yesterday and they referred me to the physio for SPD... There is a massive waiting list though so it might be a month or two before I hear anything!! lol! I'll be ready to pop by then!!

What a waste of time! She gave me some tips mainly involving keeping my legs together... (not sure what she was trying to imply ) Everything else was good though, baby is head down and am measuring 30 weeks...

Agggh just noticed that my fruit has changed on my ticker!! 'sciting it is!

Xmas is SO close! I can't wait! I'm starting my Mat Leave then too!!
I want a ticker that counts down to mat leave... any idea where I get one?

 

[beccybobeccy]

I've done it... lol
eeeeeeeeeek! 6 weeks, 6 days!!!

 

[Jolene]

I wish there were more teachers out there like you LittleMrs. I homeschool my son because he has ADD and the teachers just don't have enough time and patience to cater for his needs over here. But I could definitely not do it with a class full, lol.

Beccy, I thought keeping your legs together was the advice you give to someone before they fall pregnant Hope you can get your appointment soon! Good Luck! Yay to maternity leave, another exciting countdown.

I have decided to school my son a bit into the hols this year so that we have more time with baby after she is born. My DH is also getting just over a month off from the 3rd Jan (the day my caesar is booked for) so we're going to have a really awesome family bonding time Can't wait!

Hello Fellow Jellybeans!!!

So as I have said I am 30 weeks today - can't quite believe it really! Really hope the time goes quickly now until baby arrives.

So anyways I was looking back at the due date list on the first page of this thread and I still think it's so wierd that so many ladies due on the 11th January are expecting girlies!

So here is a message to to everyone below that is due on the 11th like me...

Happy 30 Week Day!

Hi Beccy,

Sorry to hear you have SPD and that you might be waiting such a long time for an appointment I have it too and am lucky enough to have got an appointment this Thursday morning (They only recieved the referal yesterday from my midwife!) So if you like I will let you know what they say/any excersises they give me so that I can share the knowledge! lol Did your midwife give you a leaflet with advice on how to cope in the meantime? I found that very helpful...

Sez x x x

Hi Ladies and Jellybeans

Happy 30 weeks to everyone hitting 30 weeks today

Having a bit of a bad day today, SPD is really playing up and in quite a bit of pain with my hips, groin and lower back. Feeling very down and emotional today as well

Jellybean hasnt been very active today either but Im putting that down to the fact that I havent done anything but sleep. My belly feels really empty as if there isnt a baby in there if I put my hands on my bump or wiggly it about baby gives me a swift kick so I know she is still in there. How much sleep would you class as excessive during the day?
I took my daughter to nursery at 8:30 this morning was back for 8:50 and back in bed asleep by 9. Slept till OH (he works from home) came in and woke me up for something to eat at 12:30. By 1:30 I was shattered and falling asleep. Went back to sleep for another 3 hours. Ive had 6 1/2 hours sleep today and im still tired, refusing to go back to bed as Ive got to go get my daughter soon and if I sleep now I wont sleep properly tonight.

 

[LittleMrs]

mum2be - anemia? My OH is really prone to feeling knackered all the time, I pump him full of broccoli for a few days and he usually perks up. I'd say if you need the sleep you need the sleep. I used to have a day once a month were I'd sleep over half the day before I was even pregnant.

Jolene - sorry to hear they're not catering for your son. ADD is fine as long as the class doesn't have 30 or so in it - sometimes they shove so many kids in a class it's so difficult to cater for all of the different needs, not fair to the kids. Also, ADD gets such a bad rep - every kid that doesn't behave they stick an ADD label on them and it gives the kids who actually have ADD a bad name that they don't deserve - thank god there are mums like you in the world who care about their kids and their education.

My bean isn't kicking much either, she just seems to be rolling. Do you think she's running out of space?

Naomi - I'm not sleeping well either. Sucks.

 

[blessed]

I was worried about LO not kicking as much either... doctor said she's just getting big! The kicks started back up again.. and then I'll have a quiet day here and there. Have you guys started doing your kick counts??

 

[sar35]

mw told me to drink a really icy cold drink that should wake baby up
