July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[Sarah+]

Yeah, I just don't want my baby to have to share his birthday. No kid wants to do that!

 

[Twiglet]

MB I'll be leaving the foot muff off for defo in this weather

I think I'd have done the same Sarah.

 

[godivalocks]

OH is home and we've been doing some last minute shopping and assembling. He got to pick a few items. Had our date day.

Now all that's left is for the kid to come, but knowing my luck, he'll be seriously late and OH only has a short time here . All I can hope for is at least a timely birth, but when are births ever convenient?

 

[Elliebank]

Yay for OH being home!!! How long is he here for? I hope yr LO makes an appearance very soon. How long will yr OH be away for before he's back again?

 

[Sarah+]

Can you go back and beg for a sweep or something?

Enjoy your time with OH

 

[godivalocks]

Yay for OH being home!!! How long is he here for? I hope yr LO makes an appearance very soon. How long will yr OH be away for before he's back again?

Just a short time, and then he's gone for months again.

I'm not looking forward to him going again.

 

[Elliebank]

I have a lot of admiration for you, it must be very hard. But you know that you have all of us BnB buddies here for you & I for one will certainly be on BnB as much as I can even when the baby is here

 

[elley_baby248]

Woah can you lot talk a little bit less please! Jeez it's hard to keep up! lol!

This weather is so crap atm i wouldn't mind if i had the baby i'd be loving it but no i have to be the big beached whale and also when i sit down for to long or walk i feel like he is trying to get out.

I swear last night i thought my waters were about to go. I got this god awful pressure downstairs but i don't mean just across the bottom of my tummy actually up there it was horrid i nearly cried! It's back again today. Had another clearout yesterday as well isn't this pregnancy lark loads of fun!

Oh, and my boobs are going mad lately leaking like it's going out of fashion!

I'm feeling so sorry for my OH right now he is stuck in work in 30 degree weather and as he is a mechanic he is stuck in his overalls all day and work boots there vile when he takes them off god knows how he is coping i think i would just skive!

 

[shelleylu]

Hi everyone.

Sarah - you need to get on here more often girl! Funny about the waters breaking... I thought mine went at a cash point earlier. I was wearing white linen shorts too which would hve been interesting lol. Turns out it was just a mega gush of mucky stuff. Ah the joys and glamour eh...

Nice to hear your OH is back G. Hope he is here for long enough to meet your little one. Fingers crossed for you sweetie. At least he could help with the horizontal jogging method of eviction! lol

Well girls thanks for all your kind words last night. I spent all night in bed practically crying - tottally convinced LO was coming. I had this pain that started inside my backside, went around my bum, into my hip. Across my tummy (which then went hard) downwards into my lady garden and insed of me into my cervix. OMG did it hurt. It kept coming and going - just like contractions - but only on the one side of me? It was most odd..

I woke up still killing today so went to my GP. He said he thinks its muscle spasms which I cant really do a lot about apart from giving me codeine. Great eh - means I could be in agony for the next 3 weeks potentially! He did say however, if they get worse it could well mean the start of labour - so fngers crossed it hurts a bit more(in a weird good way!)
He also wouldnt give me anything for my hayfever, so I am stuck looking like the Mitchellin man

Its hotter than ever today here. Sarah you're right. We're not set up for this weather at all. Even if shops do have air con, they arent fit for these temps and they dont work properly most of the time. Poor cankles across the country today xxxx

 

[geogem]

Hey ladies,
Shelley, glad your okay hun, you had me scared last night when you text! I thought we were gonna have our first buddy mummy!!

Well carpet fitted, nursery done (will add piccies later), house tidy, washing all out on line. Just the ironing left to do tomorrow then I think I might be ready!! George is going out at the weekend to but Blakes coming home outfit! (He wants to do this, apparantly itd Daddy's job!!) sos yay, all prepared and ready for off!! next friday would be good please!! lol!!

 

[SJK]

Woo hoo SJK!!! How was the sweep?

Can't wait to see pics of the nursery Gem!!

It was ok, just more uncomfortable as she had to go round the back of
babys head xx

 

[SJK]

Yay for OH being home!!! How long is he here for? I hope yr LO makes an appearance very soon. How long will yr OH be away for before he's back again?

Just a short time, and then he's gone for months again.

I'm not looking forward to him going again.

Hey girls, still here , not much happening, had a balti for dinner last night, but couldnt really stomach it, followed by a pineapple, RLT and a clary sage bath, then I jumped poor dh , and nothing ,

had another bit of pink plug during the night and bum wee, have had a few cramps today, but nothing to get excited about just yet, at least beany is now getting the extra year at school that I wanted

The sweep was ok, just abit uncomfortable as she had to reach in round the babys head, but at least she was able to do it , think this will drag on for a few days if she doesnt start me 2moro night, but I keep telling myself, it will be over this time next week

 

[shelleylu]

Yay for the sweep SJK. It will be over in no time hun - you've done this before remember! I want a sweep nice and early too!

I forgot to say earlier I had a letter from hospital saying I am iron deficient which is crap - and explains why Im shattered. But does it also make you moody? I feel like Im a right bitch today. I am so fed up with people stating the fricking obvious. ''Still here then?'' ''Havent you dropped yet?'' DOES IT LOOK LIKE IM CARRYING A BABY IN MY ARMS YOU INSENSITIVE SILLY COW!

Sorry but its just the way I feel - am I alone?????!!!! My mum and a mom from the school spoke to me earlier about how hot it was while they were PG. My mom had my brother in the heatwave of 76, and my freind had her son in 89 summer when it was hot. They seem to think it makes me feel better to go on about it being worse for them? Like it doesnt matter that im swollen, sore and cheesed off - just that they've been worse!

Sorry for the rant - people just do my head in. Hormones defo on a rage today! Leaking bbs, hating everyone and shouting at OH for no reason. oooopss..........

 

[godivalocks]

You gals have heard a lot of what's gone wrong all year...well, today has been the mother of all days of things to go wrong. Poor OH doesn't get to relax. Everything that could go wrong today, has.

... what's gone wrong hon? xxx

 

[TigerLady]

Oh no! I hope everything is going to be okay, G!

 

[wishingonastar]

godiva???? what's up hun???

shelley - i'm afraid i don't think iron deficiency is responsible for the mood swings...however you being overly tired can't help make sure you boost your fruit and veg intake if you're being put on iron tablets else you'll be bunged up good and proper!!!

sjk - i love your positive attitude about the extra school year

 

[whitelilly]

I am also anaemic and afraid I can't blame my mood swings on it, but agree that tiredness can make me more moody!

I have my scan later today (2.40pm) so I will update you all later. How are you all today? xx

 

[wishingonastar]

good luck for later whitelilly...

sjk - can you please describe to me what happens in a sweep and how long it lasts for cos i have one on tuesday and i'm a little anxious!
