I haven't got a house to have a Nursery in yet

Have been busy the last few days with my dissertation...am now at 3000/7500.
Was meant to have a tutorial but someone took my keys and locked me in! So now I have to send my chapters over to her in an email (dreading it! Dont want her to be mean!) and then go in Wednesday at 9:15 for a small meeting...joyjoy.

Gonna browse BnB whilst I eat my lunch

Glad the midwifes went fine MB and I keep getting BH's too Gem, they're not fun. I had one at the midwifes the other day actually

 

[SJK]

Hi shelley, Im ok so far thankyou, getting tired now, hope you are well and everyone else

Yes MB I couldn't stay away, glad the mw went well

Hope all else is ok x

 

[maybethistime]

BH mm I dont think I have had ne or if I did I didnt notice them lol prob past them off as wind hahah what am I like, well done for getting ur word count up, keep it up hun not long left now xx

 

[Twiglet]

Thanks, quite happy with it as I only started typing it two days ago gonna go carry on now. Boo Bye lovely ladies!

 

[maybethistime]

Looks like I spoke 2 soon I have been getting BH lol, is it when it goes quite tight low down? uncomfatable is the word if u ask me oh well I was feeling special cos i was not getting them and im wrong as usual haha

 

[Twiglet]

Aww bless! But yeah when it goes all tight...a positive spin on it though...when you do get a BH you can feel exactly where your baby is. Me and Liam were stroking her arms and hands yesterday, and then she stuck her little legs up next to where Liam's other hand was. He likes it when I get BH because of this

4000/7500...but I'm only on Chapter 2 out of 5!! Haha may need to do some cutting out when I've finished

 

[maybethistime]

dam by the sound of it lol, I have 800 words to do before 8 me pc packed in at home so I have loads to bloody do I am gutted lol never mind.

cutting down is the easy bit its filling the page that kills lol

 

[shelleylu]

Hey girls.

Well Maybe - we found the cot. I want the whole set as its all reduced. You casn get the changer, wardrobe and cot for £300 instead of £530 so we're gonna get it - hoping the offer stays on a couple more days as new credit card isnt activated yet and i dont have the cash till the end of the month. Im sweating with impatience!!

How is everyone? I have had regular painful BH for weeks and weeks now. I never had them with William, so this is all new and weird. They come on when I am walking too fast or doing too much. I take it as a sign to stop everything and relax a bit.

Work is getting tough now as Im so tied. I still only have a little bump though which Im mega happy about.

I went to my friends wedding yesterday and now I am eternally jealous! It was in a big posh castle in a forest. I dobt even mind about the castle, Id just love to be married to my OH. We are both wedding broody! We have 2 more to go to this year too so Its not going to help matters. We need to save, but they are soooo expensive we might be here till we're 70!!

Right, need to feed the troops.

Hope everyone is well xxxxx

 

[maybethistime]

wow thats good, see there are bargins everywhere, hope u can get it sorted etc, im gonna get the changer this weekend me.

Well I have a few wedding tips when u guys get round to it, we had a sit down meal for 70 people buffet and had it at the town hall in bolton, had our honeymoon in egypt and it all cost 4000 which I was really happy about lol, I even got my dress for 400 pound reduced from 999 from discount shop in farnworh lol. Always have an eye for a bargin me.
It was cheap day but it didnt look cheap if u get me xx

Hey girls!

MB- I can't believe you had your wedding for £4k! That's amazing. We got married in September and spent about £18k in total! We'd only been engaged 9 months and we did it hoping that we would spend less!

We have been pram shopping and I think we are going to get the iCandy Apple... I love it and so does hubby. John Lewis said they'd price match so I am on a mission! I am also ordering the moses basket this week... Izzywotnot in cream with a dark stand.

Had the MW today too and she took blood for antibodies and anaemia... my BP was lower than usual though but she didn't seem concerned. I've been majorly uncomfy the last couple of days- baby has moved higher and my skin is stretching right at the top of my tummy.

Oh, and the good news- I passed my March exam! Just have to get through thois next one on a few weeks and then it won't be long til I finish up work. I cannot wait! xx

 

[Sarah+]

Well done Whitelilly!

I'm getting BH too. Freaked me out a bit at first, but getting used to them. No leaky boobs (yet!). They feel pretty much the same as always... just a little larger than 6 months ago!

Don't worry about the nursery Ellie. Most of my nursery furniture won't arrive until I'm 36 weeks, so bub just isn't allowed to be early.

You should go in and pay a small deposit Shelley, so you lock in the price?

Anyone else getting HEAPS of movement lately?

Have a great day

gorgeous wedding Gem, ours was the same, came in under £5k, which included the dresses, suits, wedding, meals, cake, dj, invites, hair, makeup, presents, flowers and honeymoon in dubai and I even borrowd a free aston martin for the photos xx

 

[TigerLady]

Holy moly, you guys managed some good prices on your weddings! Well done. I had thought I was doing pretty well at about $8000.

We had the ceremony in a national park in the mountains (just showed up, no charge for that!). And the reception was a buffet with no DJ (just used Sirius as background music). Got my dress for $300 and rented tuxes. Had my mom and sis make the wedding cloaks, which saved loads. I think flowers and food were the most expensive by far!

Turned out lovely and perfect for us, though! I also swore for years that I wasn't getting married -- ever. But finally this guy changed my mind at the age of 32. It is still new, but I love it. He has been sweeter than ever since the big day.

As for HEAPS of movement... Otter has actually slowed WAY down in the last week or so. I'm trying not to worry.

And I don't know how to tell if I am getting BH -- my bump always seems hard, especially where he lays! Maybe it is one of those things "you know it when you get it."

 

[elley_baby248]

Wow they are amazing pics!

I havent felt him move a lot the past few days either but i have been really tired so i think he is having another little growth spurt

 

[Elliebank]

As you know TL I haven't felt many movements lately either. Got to admit I'm starting to worry. My bump also goes hard but I'm not sure if it's bh or not.

 

[Twiglet]

Movements begin to slow down again now dont they? Because they're all squished up...Caitlyn only likes moving at the moment when I'm a) working or b) sleeping...lovely

Am plodding on with my dissertation again today...can see an end in sight

Lovely wedding dresses girlies! Gem I adore yours and cant believe you got it for that price! Lucky. The one I want is going to be custom made only as I've had it in my mind since I was a little one! I dont even want to think about wedding costs at the moment will leave that to Liam
