July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[whitelilly]

Hi girlies,

Shelley- hope you are ok... glad you're ok too Sarah+.

Well I have been a busy little lady- I out an offer in on a house this week somewhat impulsively and it was accepted. I am waiting to hear if my mortgage application has been successful- should find out Mon or Tues! Eeeek! The house needs totally gutted- and the move in date would be 3 weeks before bambino arrives. I think I am mad.

Other than that I am doing fine. Mr Man has been moving lots the past couple of days, and he is definitely up higher. I have my exam in 13 days so I think I should start cramming now. I am so lastminute.com all the time.

Going pram shopping tomorrow with my mum so hopefully that will be productive and I will finally settle on the one I want.

By the way, has anyone received their £190 one-off grant thing yet? xx

 

[maybethistime]

Hey shelly and sarah hope things stay fine for now, got I have loads to do today i know wat u mean bout last min dot com hahaha, the in laws want to decorate our house but im havin none of it at the min i like my space and I want to do me work for uni so asked merv to gtell them to wait till i have finished, faire play they want to do it but sure enough I should have a say when if u get my meaning xx

 

[wishingonastar]

goodness whitelilly...you are gonna be taking a lot on but i'm sure it'll work out

i was lucky and got my £190 through quite quick...i know some people are being made to wait for ages which is a little crazy since its meant to be for health in pregnancy yet some peeps aren't getting it til babies nearly here!

 

[SJK]

Hey girls,

shelley and sarah, hope all is ok, I had a very sore bh the other night, where I was shouting and dh and ds ran in, thought it was happening.

I havent checked my account, so not sure if the money is in, wouldnt have thought it would be that quick, I only posted it 2 weeks ago or there abouts.

I was meant to go out with the girls tonight for a chinese buffet, but am that tired, I have just got showered and getting back into my pjs, I so cant wait to leave work, how lazy am I getting.

On a sadder note, My granda is in h'pital with c diff and dont think going to make it, the nurse said if he doesnt respond in the next 2 days, he'll prob die, I cant even go and see him xx

My Grandad got that twice. He'd been in hospital since Christmas Eve, was given 10% chance of living on NY Eve, had to have kidney dialysis, came home in Feb but then went back in hosp 3 days later, was finally getting better then he got the c diff bug. I couldn't go & see him either (they said it was ok for pregnant women but didn't want to risk it). Anyway, he finally came home last week after being on 3 different types of antibiotics & is doing well. He's 83. So there is hope SJK, hopefully yr Granda will pull through too xxxx

 

[Twiglet]

SJK will be thinking of you!

I want to poke Liam's eyes out today...he has annoyed me no end.

Hope everyone is good?

 

[maybethistime]

[whitelilly]

sjk- hope your granda is ok... xxx

I am not feeling well... my throat is sore and so are my ears. Plus I have sneezed a million times today. Only thing I am happy about is bambino wriggling away.

Hubby was watching footy today (we are in Scotland, was a big match) and he came in soooo drunk. He ate his sausage supper then spewed it up! Then he came into the lounge where I am and was cuddling my bump saying how special his baby was and how he was never going to let bambino see him in this state! He is tucked up in bed now and I am thinking that I am going to have a rubbish sleep because he sleeptalks and walks after a few pints! He stops drinking next weekend though until baby is born! Yippeee!

I am so irritable right now. Hubby says that I am lucky he loves me so much because I am nasty to hom for no reason! I cried this morning when he came in the house and walked through the hallway with his wet shoes on, even though we have wooden floors! x

 

[Twiglet]

Hahahaha MB you made me chuckle so much

I chucked pain au chocolat at Liam but then got sad as it meant I had none he annoyed me cause he was on the phone to a letting agency and after he got off I called him an idiot...and he got all defensive and said I called him a twat!! Lying sodbag and then to top it all of he apologised in the end...but he apologised for getting upset, not swearing at me...or embellishing the truth!! No cause he got upset! Men

He bought me KFC to make up for it though so I forgive him

Thats brilliant news, thanks EB, so there is hope, my granda is giving up though, keeps saying we all have to die sometime and is being tube fed cos hes refusing to eat x

 

[SJK]

morning girls

Ive decided to take a few days off work until I get my bp checked again
this week and Ive been having headaches as well, Im thinking its just exhaustion.

Gota go to my nicece and nephews christening today and then straight home and back into my pjs !

Wl was he pleased with the result, my fil and bil went over to see it x

 

[honey08]

ive started washin 2day ladies, and i cant belive just how much we have got for this littleman !! omg ive not seen some of these clothes since i was 20wk there so cute
still got to get things for hospital bag ..... i like to be ready
sjk ........ hope ur ok hun ?!?

 

[whitelilly]

SJK- he was very pleased! I think he took it too far though! hee hee!

I have got babies stuff for hospital and a few bits and bobs for me, but I need a bag to put it all in! I have still to buy big pants from primark that I can throw away after each wear and I also need to get breast pads. Other than that I am not buying anything new except a couple of nighties for afterwards so I can breastfeed- I can imagine that it'll all get covered in sick, blood or other bodily fluids! xx

[shelleylu]

Wow whitelilly, you are prepared!!!

Looking through the list I agree, but seriously, we probably wont need/use most of it!!! The hospitals provide a lot of things usually. As for millions of pants tp use and throw away, there really isnt loads and loads of mess!!! I know it feels like there will be buckets of bloody/sick/mucus to clean up, but as the NCT class woman reminded us yesterday, its not half as messy as you'd imagine - and it really isnt - honestly

SJK- hope your Grandfather is picking up. Try not to let it worry you too much hun, it'll do your BP no good. I know its easier said then done!

My tum settled down, only after a load more BH and more 'cleaning out' lol. Not pleasant... The NCT class lady told me to keep an eye on it and rest. So I took notice and spent all morning cleaning/mowing the lawn/washing etc!! ooops.......

Has anyone got any ideas on nice cheap cot-bedding? We've seen some in ASDA which we like, and will probably go with as everything else is so bloody expensive! Whats everyone else getting/got?

Maybe/twiglet, hope you've calmed down a bit now? Ive been a moody bitch the last few days too. Things that normally dont bother me have made me anxious and whiny the last few days. OH must think Im a right nag! lol..

As for OH - i think the labour class yesterday scared the living crap out of him. So far he has been brilliant with baby/me etc. but up until yesterday it wasnt real. Now it is. He went white a few times!!!

Well thats all for now. Big XXX's

TTFN x

 

[Twiglet]

I'll be stealing your list WL! I only bought my bag last week

Yeah I'm all calm now Shelley, we went round to our friends last night and she's 23 weeks pregnant and her husband is getting it far worse than what Liam is. So Liam has accepted I'm not that bad considering Glad your tum has settled!

Am enjoying a lovely lazy day today need it but I feel all squished and hard to breath today boo!

I got some bedding from Littlewoods, for a bumper, sheet, matching quilt and fleece blanket I paid £27 and then my mum bought me a bumper, sheet and matching quilt for £25 so I didnt think that was too bad? x

 

[shelleylu]

Im just having a look on their website now, and no its not too bad at all! Im suprised at how expensive some of them are TBH.

Thanks Twiglet
