***January Jellybeans***~ 35 BABY GIRLS & 23 BABY BOYS BORN ~***

[Jolene]

Is anyone finding it difficult to eat? I don't mean due to our stomachs being squished by the tiddly ones, I mean due to the fact that its hard to get close to the table!! Every day I spill something down me. Every day. Its terrible! OH suggested I bought myself a bib..
x x

I was thinking the same thing, lol. Nothing falls back on the plate anymore, lol.

I had a shocking nights sleep! If you can call it thats. Finally went off around 1am and woke up at 5am needing a pee and cant breathe with myu cold, plus my nose streaming

Up now drinking tea

On a mega shopping trip today too but at least we are going for Turkey Xmas dinner too

Hope you feel better soon

I got my midwife apt again today, that 3 weeks went quick it's so bizarre not enjoying them but my midwife is such a perv! If she puts Doppler on my pubes again to listen heartbeat I will have to say something! I been measuring my bump around at biggest point and only grown an inch in last 6 weeks. Though I feel bigger - weird! Oh well wish me luck or one of the other midwives lol x

Wow Jojo, we're quite in sync aren't we. I also went to see my Ob/gyn today after 3 wks since the last visit. Sorry to hear your mw is such a perv, lol. Can't you request someone else?

Hodbert, I can't wait to be able to post the pics of the nursery. I am so close to finished yet so far. I can't to see an update of yours either.

Baby measured 2.1kg today. I really like my doctor but am so disappointed as he never gives me nice scan pics anymore. I want to go for a 4D scan but really can't afford it And if I want one I have to go soon, they only do them here until 34 weeks.

Good morning everyone. I'm in a very positive mood today! I've made it to 31 weeks which feels loads better now. Not nearly as worried as if baby had come at 26/27 weeks. It almost feels like I'm on the home straight now.

Babyis very happy today as well and stupidly active. Bump has decided that hooking feet under my ribs and pushing outwards is good fun but its killing me.

I'm thinking I might do some baking today as well, I need to make some snacks to keep me away from the ice cream and chocolate!!

Also, I think I'll make a start on the cot stuff today as well. OH is working late this week so I don't think he'll get time to do anything. I could at least try to get the cot top changer and the undercot storage drawer bit done myself.

oh my goodness I completely understand Hodbert!! I have to sit back in a reclining position or my lungs are useless....

Jms you poor thing, not a good time to have a cold, no wonder your not sleeping. Hope you feel better soon x

hi and welcome over here to newbies!

have i done a multi quote?

 

[sar35]

yay , just got to put replies in

 

[sar35]

jms hope you feel better soon
jojo hope you got to see another midwife or at least the one you do see stays away from your pubes!

Im bored out of my mind, I done all the tidying yesterday so nothing left for me to do today was meant to be meeting a friend but she has just split with her hubby and forgot, so its planned for next week now.
I know I would of been off work regardless of whether I took mat leave but sometimes I wish I could go back!. I feel like a prisoner, cant go out far, unless someone is with me, my highlight of today is picking my sil up from work and going shopping...whoo hoo!
Dont know if there are any such groups for pg women like there are mum and baby groups.

 

[LadyBelle]

Thanks for the welcome ladies! Today I have discovered LO can kick in about 17 different spots at once...lol. Hope everyone is doing well today.

Just want to mention about the birthing balls - I purchased one and it was very inexpensive and apparantly if you bounce on them while pregnant the baby will get used to the movement and then when baby comes if you bounce on them holding baby they will recognize the movement and fall asleep. Happy Tuesday JJ's

Ooo 7 weeks are you ready? I still have about 9 weeks and I too think it feels like forever! I can't wait but I am so NOT prepared

 

[Mom 2B]

I only have 8-9 weeks left depending on when they do my c-section. The 18th or the 25th. In some ways im ready. but others Im not. I have clothes mostly washed up. Got some diapers and other stuff. No name yet. but i think im almost ready!!!

 

[LadyBelle]

Mom 2B, I wish I were as prepared as you I haven't even bought anything We also don't have a definitive name either!

 

[pinkie77]

Hi JJ's! Hope everyone is well

I didn't have a good weekend, ended up in hospital after a show and with very strong bh that were close together - turned out I'd just been overdoing things though and madam has settled down again now. Gave us all a scare though and the good thing is that my kids are helping out more - for now anyway!

I'm practically ready now, just got cot sheets and a changing mat to buy. Oh and the new stuff to wash (done the second hand stuff as I've been given it) and I'm under orders to pack a bag too 'just in case'. Apparently my mum couldn't find the big box I've been putting all my bits in

That just leaves the christmas shopping to take care of......................

 

[LadyBelle]

Glad all is better Pinkie! Oh, I forgot about Christmas shopping

 

[sar35]

oh Pinkie I know how you feel, hope you get to cook your baby a bit longer and make the most of the help x

I think the NCT have one - I'm sure I've seen mum and bump groups advertised. x

 

[rcbrown08]

Thanks!

I would wait as long as possible! I wish my bump was bigger for my pictures but thats okay... my belly is still not much different than it was 2 weeks ago anyway!

I would love to see your pictures Disney! I bet they will be gorgeous! Plus you'll be taking them while looking at hubby so they'll have that extra 'pizazz' to them

Love the pics, Blessed! You have a beautiful bump!

 

[pinkie77]

Thanks ladies, I think I've just got to remember I'm 7 months pregnant lol. I expect I'll still be waiting in mid January for madam to make her grand entrance! It was just a big shock all around really.

 

[Mom 2B]

Mom 2B, I wish I were as prepared as you I haven't even bought anything We also don't have a definitive name either!

Well you still have time to get ready and buy stuff. Are you havfing a shower? My mom said my aunt was goign to throw me a shower this month but |i have not heard anything more about it so im not counting on it...although it would be nice as everyting I already own was all pink. All my clothes tath I bought were unisex except for a few items and the rest were given to me...although after washing it I realized its mostly 3-6 months and i dont have alot of 0-3 months and only have like 3-4 newborn things.

As for christmas....im done shopping. I told everyone (adults) taht they will get pictures of the kids in Feb or March and im only buying for my daughter, 2 nephews and 1 neice. My daughter is getting a new big girl room all done up in disney princess's and im almost done. I still have towrap my neice and nephews presents thou.

I knew money was giong to be tight this year with a baby due 2-3 weeks after christmas so i got a good head start this year. And boy am i glad i did as ive been off work for the last month with no moneey coming in from my sick leave until today. And i only got $100 for 1 week. Im going to have to save every penny to make sure I have some cash saved up for when my prince gets here.

good luck everyone with christmas shopping and preparing for baby!!!!

 

[rcbrown08]

First one on here! How does it compare to yours?

Its very low again! And the stretchies are from last time

Fingers crossed no more this time YET!

Cute bump and you do seem to be carrying very low. I wish my belly would drop...seems like the first step towards meeting the little one. I am so ready to have this baby!
