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

[emilyp83]

Used to live near Belper but have come home to York now to be closer to mum and dad.

 

[LittleMrs]

Can understand that, it's one of the reasons I've stayed here; to be close to family.

We've just put up the cot in the baby's room and started organising where things go. Particularly good because it means the big piles of baby stuff that are cluttering up practically every room can now be moved so I can start tidying properly instead of just moving things in and out of rooms.

 

[emilyp83]

Well I don't think the cot will be happening today Just spoke to him and his new xbox game has come so he wants to play on that when he gets home. I dont think I can wait much longer but there's no way I can do it myself. I've done the cot top changer and that was enough to start my pains again!! I'm useless at the moment!!

 

[LittleMrs]

I'm so thankful that our xbox has gone now. I couldn't have coped with doing all the housework because 'i forgot' or 'i didn't have time' (both codes for 'i spent the day on the xbox') plus having to prepare for the baby and eventually taking care of the baby, the house and the OH while working full time! I would have snapped. Much respect to all the xbox widows in the world. If only Microsoft knew the direct impact that they've had on disrupting domestic life (they'd prob think they'd done a good job lol).

Emily I get excited about leaky nipples too, I quite like the sticky patches on my pj top as it happens mostly at night : )

 

[hodbert]

Hey Girls! Finally did get off to sleep, but well after midnight and was of course up a million times to pee!!! Have sent hubby out for a maccys breakfast for me this morn to compensate

Looks like none of us are sleeping much! I been tossing and turning lots, I slept a few hours just to have horrid vivid nightmares. Where are all the sexual dreams I used to have with my son? I was looking forward to that part of pg. Sure beats the nightmares, I wake up so upset and terrified!

On a good note I booked an holiday yesterday. I've been itching to book a ski hol but ladies on here reminded me it's madness trying to ski with such a new baby so settled on feurtoventura in may for a week. We can all enjoy that even baby will be able to go in the pool and she will have had immunisations by then. Much more sensible ;-) x

Ooh exciting about booking ur hol, sounds lovely! As we are in USA most of our hols are used up going back to UK for visits so feels like we havent had a proper hol in forever!

Feeling a little worried - I've been needing to pee like 3x more than normal and my bump has seemed to move down pretty much overnight. Starting to panic about early labour - I'm just panicking, aren't I? It'll be fine?

I've been peeing LOADS lately, even more than I already was! I've seen quite a few ppl comment around 34/35 weeks that their bumps have dropped (not sure how far along u r but u cant be far off that), so don't worry

My hubby ordered Balck Ops ages ago buthas to get it sent over from UK as his xbox is from there so its taken ages to arrive. He has literally just walked in with it, thats him done for the rest of the day!

Disney I'm confused. It could be baby brain or the mere one and a half hours sleep I got last night but I can't think what I posted to you. I don't know much about thanksgiving and have never been to the states actually though would love to. Happy Thanksgiving to all you Americans though x

Millward, I think Disney may have been asking me?

Anyway, off to chow down on my mcmuffin, hope u r all good! xxx

lol millward... sorry, i meant hodbert. Guess it was MY baby brain

LittleMrs - dont worry, my bump has dropped too and it doesn't seem to have moved anything on any further. Just means I now wee all the time!

Is it weird of me to be very excited over the fact my nipples leaked a bit this morning! I even rang OH to tell him!

Not at all weird. I remember when mine started leaking. I was so excited!

 

[beccybobeccy]

Hope everyone is well... have been out and about quite a bit so have just been lurking mostly...

Yesterday I made the mistake of trying to start Christmas shopping... After about an hour I'd had enough. My bump was dragging, my pelvis was falling apart and my patience was wafer thin...

and after 3 hours all I ended up with was some nighties for me for labour from Primark!!

I then came home and did the majority online!! Why I didn't do that to begin with I don't know!!!

Basically if I can't buy a present online from now on I'm just not getting it!!
Hope all is well!! How's your Xmas prep going? I'm also buying all present for birthdays in Jan and Feb so don't have to worry about it for when Falcon is here.

Mine aren't leaking!! Should I be worried? xx

 

[Jolene]

Don't worry Beccy, mine didn't with my first and I had more than enough milk when he was born. This time round it started leaking at 20 odd weeks.

Hodbert, I pity you. Call of Duty should never be allowed into a home, lol. My DH gets together with a whole lot of guys and they link their PC's up and play LAN. My son is now into it too

What the heck is it with these boys and THAT game!!

I just don't get it...I swear OH is going to figure out a way to play and hold baby at the same time... lol

 

[hodbert]

Lol well he works hard all week and I don't work and its his only time with his mates in the UK, so I don't begrudge it too much. Plus the time difference means he generally plays it when I'm sleeping (he gets up mega early), so it doesnt affect me too much. Besides, I have you ladies!

Disney - not being from the UK we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but are having a couple over, one of which is American, to celebrate. I'm looking forward to it, it being our first, and probably last as we should be home next year. Is there any traditions I should be aware of?

 

[LittleMrs]

Hodbert - if you get a recipe for pumpkin pie can I have it? Lol. I tried to make one but all the ones I can find ask for canned pumpkin puree or pumpkin pie spice mix and (as you know) we don't get either of those in the UK.

Nope, don't worry! Different people start at different times, I've read. People were actually astonished as this is my first pregnancy and I started around 21 weeks or so... (I know, the number keeps changing, but I don't remember exactly)

I don't think there's any traditions, per se, to be aware of... but be careful to have any and all ingredients/snacks/drinks/napkins etc. before Thursday, as many stores close early or do not open at all that day! Also, there are great sales (at department stores especially) the day after Thanksgiving where you can find some great bargains, and stores will open as early as 4am that day, but it's not called "Black Friday" for nothing. I wouldn't go NEAR a mall that day, as it becomes an absolute madhouse!

Hodbert - if you get a recipe for pumpkin pie can I have it? Lol. I tried to make one but all the ones I can find ask for canned pumpkin puree or pumpkin pie spice mix and (as you know) we don't get either of those in the UK.

Let me get a great recipe for you- I've been known to make a great pumpkin pie... just don't really have the energy to dig the recipe up at the mo'. also, I saw your earlier post about not knowing how to post a ticker, so I'll put together a set of instructions with pictures to help you and any other lady having trouble out... again a bit later. for now, I don't know if it helps, but click on one of our tickers, and copy your code. Then come back here, click user CP, edit signature, and paste your code in that box. should work. let me know if you need more help.


I am still feeling a bit ill today, but loads better than earlier this week. I think I'm going to try and venture a trip to the store... hopefully I can make the walk there and back. It shouldn't be too bad, even though I walk there due to no car, since it's only half a block away and I have a personal shopping cart so I don't have to carry the groceries that distance; the worst part will be getting the groceries up 2 flights of stairs (we live on the 3rd floor of our complex that doesn't have an elevator). Wish me luck!

 

[LittleMrs]

Did i do it?

 

[Disneydancr]

it didn't show, but make sure that at the bottom when you reply, "show your signature" is checked. try again.

 

[LittleMrs]

Tada!!!!

 

[Disneydancr]

see? there you go!

 

[Jolene]

Oh well done LittleMrs. I see you got it right
