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

Button Jessie's c-section has been postponed till tomorrow, as not enough SCBU staff can get into work! So it's another day inside for babygirl to cook...
 
Today OH and I will be trying to sort out the house (on the inside). Got a lot of tidying to do, need to take down half of the wallpaper in the bedroom because our house is very old and we get condensation on the walls - last year I attempted to insulate the room by putting up wallpaper. Backfire - it got wet and went mouldy so we're going to take the mouldy bit down before bean arrives and buy a de-humidifier. This should make it safe for bean, right? To be honest, her room is the best room in the house but the baby nazis say bean has to sleep in with us for 6 months so we're tying the best we can. Eventually I'll have to pay for someone to come and sort it but we just haven't got the money at the moment.
For those of you who haven't seen my ranting on facebook, the snow has knocked down a piece of our guttering and fascias - more household expense. We'r covered by the insurance but we've got £250 excess to pay and we'll lose our 3 yrs no claims bonus. Boo snow.
In more upbeat news I went to the midwife's this morning (what a hike). Bean is fine, head down, dropping but not engaged yet (she said something about head dipping into pelvic bowl - or something like that, not quite sure), her HB is fine, my BP is fine, she weighed me and even that is fine. Bump is measuring 36 weeks and am 35 today (but my ticker said 34+6 this morning, boo dodgy ticker).
Leanne, have you heard anything more from Sam - is she out of hospital yet?
Lisa, my bet is on you to be one of the next Jellybeans to pop - within the next 5, I reckon.
 
Tracey that just reminded me that sam has texted me. She was still in last night when she texted on meds to try and sort bp. She said her bean is all ok but she is ticking all the boxes for pre eclampsia. They are keeping her in to keep monitoring her. She sends her love to sar and to buttonjessie too as I gave her a mini update via text.

Been feeling dizzy the past hour or so, even sitting down. Not sure if its poorly related or bean related. Really want to go in to work tomorrow but not sure how Im gonna feel and I need to let them know by 3 if I am or not! Grrrr xxxx
 
Just posted this in 3rd tri forum but thought I would put it here too!

Just watching Daybreak and they mentioned a website where you can personalise a message from santa. You can make one for a toddler, a child or a grown up!

Its https://www.portablenorthpole.tv

It gives you the option to buy the videos and sign up for membership but you don't have to to get the free messages!

I've sent one to my mum and my other half and they are really sweet!!

Thought I would share this with everyone especially for those of you with little ones already!

xxxx

Thanks for the link. That is so good! I just did one for my Daughter and her little face when she saw him have her picture in his book! She looked so cute. :D
 
Been in bed since 10.30pm and its now after midnight and still no sleep, despite being absolutely shattered. I just cant myself into a position where I am comfy and can breathe. Am sooooo tired tho :( Not to mention I've already been up to loo 5 times!

Shame Lisa, you've really got it bad :( I hope you get to catch up on some zzzzzzzzzzzzz's during the day :hugs: I hope you're the next to announce your bean :baby:

Jolene I hope so but there doesnt seem to be any signs as yet! Bought some pineapple yday as my first attempt with the eviction, so will give that a try, but I'm not holding my breath! Am back awake at 5.30am, aching all over with a cracking headache to match! Not cold or flu related, just generally knackered! This pregnancy lark is getting old now :haha: Naomi, how u doing with it all now?

Boo for the guttering LittleMrs and well done for getting to the midwife, given the weather over there! And I would love to go within the next 5, but I don't think its gonna happen :brat:

Sorry you're feeling so poo smiffy, esp at this stage in pregnancy, it's hard enough as it is! It's prob because you've stopped that its come on ten-fold too, you're body's finally having chance to look after itself!
 
I've just posted this on facebook but I am now officially on mat leave! Signed myself off for tomorrow and then mat leave starts on monday! Can't quite believe it really and sad I've missed the last few days with my little treasures (notice how not being with them turns them from little monkeys into treasures lol)!

Glad your daughter liked the message naomi!! The one for the 'one I love' is quite a lovely one too!!!

Right am gonna have some dinner and more pills me thinks. Then gonna spend the afternoon on a wrap-a-thon with christmas tunes on! Yay!

XXXX
 
Well my little man is well and truly spoilt now...have been visiting work today for them to give me their gifts. A whole box full, don't think I'll have to buy anything for ages. My favourite outfit was A Hungry Caterpillar dungaree set. Lots of nappies, wipes, lotions etc.

Did some work there too (assessments to fill in) and the children were so cute. Lots of hugs and smiles - definately treasures when you don't have them all day. They thought it was so funny when I told them about the naughty baby kicking Miss Millward's tummy!

Regards for Sam and ButtonJessie, we are all hoping it goes well for them x

I hope they're wrong but if they're not then that puts Sam in the next 5 too, probably.

Lisa - I'm almost certain, next 5, you'll see. What do I win if I'm right? There's a long list of things for eviction (think I'll be trying most, if not all, once I hit 37 weeks). List currently is:
Spicy food;
Pineapple;
Hot bath;
Bouncing on exercise ball;
Sex;
Long walk.

There's also castor oil but that sounds a bit gross - RLT can apparently help you along if you're about to pop anyway but there's a chance it does nothing and it's just coincidence.
 
already posted this on fb, but: Yesterday's appointment went reasonably well... Madison is kinda cramped at the moment, so we didn't get any good pictures, but she's very active and healthy. She's measuring 4 pounds 10 ounces and her size is right on point for 33 weeks! I just have to focus on gaining weight- I've only gained a pound in the last 3 weeks.

Poor OH is sick with a nasty cold. I hope I don't catch it. It's not very often that he gets sick, but when he does, it's pretty severe. I'm such the mother hen, so naturally I didn't sleep well last night. Every time he moved in bed, I was up making sure he was ok. Luckily he finagled these next 3 days off so he can recover... I just hope it's long enough. Stocked up on Nyquil, Orange Juice, and Chicken noodle soup. Send good energy this way if you could, ladies! Thanks!
 
Awww hope he doesn't feel as bad as me! Sending get well wishes to your house!!

Sarah has just put pics of her little man on facebook! Hes scrumptious lol!!!

I've spent the afternoon wrapping presents so have made a start. Feeling a bit better, think the phlegm is on the move as I am not sneezing and have an incredibly runny nose. Sure you all wanted to know that lol!

xxxxxx
 
Who is Sarah on FB?

Smiffy :hugs: and hooray for mat leave! :)

Disney great news about the appointment, but I am opposite and my weight is now piling on :dohh:
 
Woah, the January jellybeans babies are starting to be born one by one. :happydance:

Congratulations to everyone who already had their babies. I will be joining you soon. :flower:
 
I'm not too bad Lisa. I am suffering with a bit of SPD and back ache which comes and goes but, generally not too bad for this stage of pregnancy. :thumbup:


Sarah's baby is sooooo gorgeous!!! It is making me so excited about meeting my little one. I really hope I don't have to wait too long! Come on baby, come out ready for Christmas please! lol

I went for a walk in the snow today as I have been stuck indoors for three days because of the weather and it's driving me nuts!! It didn't do my SPD any good though and am suffering a bit now. :cry:

I would not recommend castor oil at all. :nope: The baby gets forced out way to quickly and can cause complications. It's really best to wait until baby is ready.
 
jWell i went out today and bought 6 newborn outfits, 2 boxes of newborn diapers and a big box of wipes. So if baby does come early I have some stuff now. I wasn\t giong to get newborn clothes but once the dr said im measuig small i pretty much know now that he will be small so I got the only 6 newbornoutfits they have at walmart and will get a few from other places when my next cheque comes in. I still have to finish my little girls room so she can move in this weekend and put together the stroller and car seat but im not freakin out as much now.
 
I wouldnt recommend Caster Oil either as it can also make baby poo and then you get meconium :nope:

Sex is the best! But you need to orgasm and OH needs to ejaculate and it goes to work on your cervix! :thumbup:

I feel so fat now and am waddling. Constantly need the loo and loads of pressure! Cant believe I am 35 weeks today :shock:
 
Happy 35 weeks Jade :happydance: Im with you on the waddling like a duck, feeling fat and constantly wanting the loo. OH says i can only hold 5ml at the best of times. (he did get a slap for that comment)

I agree Naomi. Sarah's baby is gorgeous.
 
Hey girls, had my doc apptmt this morn then came home and slept, so only just got up at 1.45pm!!! :haha: I hate my body clock getting so out of whack though, it means there's even less chance of me sleeping through the night! Had to prop myself up on a million cushions, but sitting up to sleep really made my bump ache....I can't win :(

Doc apptmt was good though, all's fine. She said baby is engaged (I think she has been for a few weeks now they've just not told me) and I am a 'fingertip' dilated. She said it doesnt mean anything though, bubs can still hang on for quite a while. Still its good to know something's going on in there.

Yey for 35 weeks Jade!

Me too! Didn't know we were date buddies- now I'm even more jealous of your nesting.

Cheers for the no castor oil advice- I'd read something similar on the Internet.
 
Lisa, that finger-tip sounds an awful lot like it could be the start of me being right. Fingers crossed, anyways. X
