[melissasbump]

Awww Bec hes gorgeous! Your labour has given me hope that it can happen at anytime without any signs!! Well done for sticking with BF i hope it gets easier for you. xx
Ive got to pop the pooch down the hairdressers so will catch up with you gals later xx

 

[mummySS]

Amanda - so sorry to hear about your itching and the numpty midwives. It must be driving you insane. I have had (mild) itching and that's pretty bad. I hate that they don't take these things seriously.

Mel & Caz - happy full term!! Mel you are cracking me up with the mucus plug comment.

Hann - sorry you're not feeling great today. Prospect of the dentist probably doesn't help. Hopefully it passes soon...

Curlew - hugs for the crappy day yesterday. You really sound like you take on a lot (especially housework), so i hope you can get some rest today. Have you got someone that can help you with the housework when bubs arrives?

Caz - glad to hear you feel the same, but sounds like you're making yourself busy. It's great to have you girls, you've made me feel loads better Enjoy your day x

Fi - good luck! Seems like it's getting closer and closer for you! Keep up that 4am gardening and you might just make it lol!

DM - little miss tease is really giving you a run for your money! Somehow i feel today might be the day... Something to do with Eve's dream maybe! ps hope Dragon is a bit better this morning, poor love.

Freckles - my goodness Elliot is beautiful! he really is a cute baby! Thanks for updating us when i know you must have your hands full. Sounds like you're doing a great job hun. xx

Doods - oooh no i haven't read the wind up bird chronicle - will check it out! thanks x

Tor - can't believe you are still working! Good work gal. You look fabulous on your FB piccy by the way.

Wez - great bump pic (from a while ago but i forgot to comment then). You look lovely.

SB - how's little miss katie doing today, still hanging in there?

Thanks for all the comments re: my sense of uselessness! I feel better today, I slept relatively well and it really does make all the difference. Got up early and put some of baby's sheets in the wash and that made me feel much better. And I've got two NCT girls coming over later for tea and cake so i'm sure that'll help cheer me up And Paul has finally set up our chests of drawers so i can start to put my clothes away. I didn't realise it, but that was probably getting me down too as I couldn't find anything!

xx

 

[caz_hills]

Tor – I seriously hope so! Am feeling really positive about everything today and so I’m in a good frame of mind for it!

Bec – Elliott is absolutely gorgeous! And thanks for letting us know how the labour went. I hope I can be as strong as you were, and as quick!

And so good to hear about breastfeeding – it’s the part that I worry about the most as you can’t practice but good to hear that the MW’s were supportive and that he latched on straight away.

Really annoyed, I think I burnt my brownies when trying to make sure they were cooked.... boo. Will check on them now. x

 

[Hann12]

Freckles - he us such a cutie!! Bet you just can't stop smiling! I am also relieved to hear your birth story and that things weren't too painful. I hope my birth is the same!!

Linds - keep us updated!

Fi - hopefully you'll get a weekend off the contractions or a baby!

Caz - productive morning and the brownies sound delish!

Curlew - hope you feel better

I don't feel sick anymore and made it to the shops. Got some towels, duvet cover and a few other house bits and pieces. My new moan is that the baby has dropped more and the pain in my bladder is intense! It feels sharp when I walk (fine when I sit down), and I feel like I really have to go but I have literally just gone. I don't know how some of you are going for walks with this kind of feeling!!

 

[Tor81]

Mel, I’ve got a completely wrong mental image about what a doggy hairdressers looks like! How’s he’s looking after his trim?

Simmy, glad you’ve got a chest of drawers to start using now, I think it’ll definitely make a difference to your mood. All our stuff in still in bags & boxes, furniture now not due to arrive until 4th July… I won’t go into that whole saga now.

Caz, hope your brownies turned out ok, they sound yummy.

Hann & Simmy, glad you’ve both made some friends through NCT. We’ve only had 2 evening sessions so far & not at the stage of talking about meeting up outside the sessions, but we’ve got an all dayer tomorrow and our final sessions on Monday so I’m hoping after that we can approach each other. Probably going to feel very lonely otherwise, not so much on mat leave, probably more when the baby is a few weeks old & DH is working etc.

Freckles - Elliott is lovely! Too cute! Glad things are going well. BF, with my first it was a nightmare, with Hailey it is going fantastically - just depends - hope it goes well for you, because it is great. If it doesn't, I remember DS's doctor saying to me - "when he graduates from school and walks across the stage, no one will know that he was bottle fed" Just go with whatever works...Take care, and enjoy every moment!

 

[melissasbump]

Ive read everything but cant remember anything!!

Happy 37 weeks to me and Caz! Yay! We are WATERMELONS!

Linds, hows Sophie doing now? Still playing with you?

Hann, glad you made it out and got a few bits and pieces.

Caz i would be gutted if i burnt brownies! think i would cry

Simmy, glad you are feeling better today and nice that you have made NCT friends!

Tor, stop working now please! I dont know how you are doing it!

Amanda, sorry that you are still itchy

Well not too much to report this end.. .just making myself fish finger rolls, lol how classy is that!
Have had a bit of cramping today which i like!!
Bit of a TMI question. Is anyone else going for number 2s like REALLY regular? Im going at least 3 times a day at the mo, its not diorrea (sorry wrong spelling) but just really regular! Oh and i have a swollen bottom lip, very random , looks like i have had botox!

 

[DragonMummy]

Yeah I had a bath to see what that did. Had a few monstrous contractions after that then I fell asleep and it all stopped again. Why can't I just have a few days of feeling normal???

Becs, Elliot is just beautiful - I could eat him! Love how dinky he looks in that outfit....

 

[melissasbump]

Tor, no hes a nightmare!!! Also he has to have a haircut every 5 weeks and it costs more than mine! Figure that one out!

 

[Hann12]

Mel - yes to the toilet trips. Wow we are so attractive!!

 

[DragonMummy]

Bad mummy moment.... Just had a call from nursery, Dragon is not very well. Am going to go and get him in a sec. He was poorly this morning but his temp was only 37.5 (I only worry if it goes over 38 really) so I gave him some calpol. He cooled down and temp went down to 36.4. I'm coming down with a cold so assumed thats what he had but apparently his temp has gone up to 40 and he fell asleep on the carpet

Off to get him now....

 

[Aaisrie]

Awww poor Dragon - I hope he feels better soon

 

[Clareabell]

Oh poor little Harry. I hope it clears quickly the last thing you need before the big day is to be unwell and run down!

 

[Doodlepants]

Hope he feels better soon xx

 

[caz_hills]

Hope Harry is better soon Linds - poor little man xx

 

[Doodlepants]

Huge congratulations to Sparkle who had her daughter this morning!!!

 

[curlew]

freckles - elliot is absolutely gorgeous. Hope the breastfeeding goes okay for you.

Linds - sorry to hear contractions have stopped again, certainly sounds like your waters could be breaking though. Sorry that H is feeling poorly. Hope its just a cold.

fifi - hope your contractions get started again after your sweep and losing the rest of your plug.

Tor - yeh for finishing work this weekend. You have done so well to get this far.

caz - sorry you burnt your brownies but yeh to cleaning out the cupboards. I did the freezers last weekend and DH has said we will do the understairs cupbpoard which we use as a food storage cupboard at the weekend. I couldn't beleive the amount we threw away last weekend.

mummy - hope you have nice tea and cake with your friends. Sounds like being able to sort your stuff into drawers will help. I hate it when I can't put things away properly and the house feels like a mess.

eve - hope your mw goes okay.

mel - can't believe your dog needs a haircut every 5 weeks thats more that DH and DS lol

Hann - sounds like baby is trying to escape lol. things may start hotting up for you soon if they are starting to engage.

AFM - went to the schools end of year church service and then coffee with friends. Have done two loads of washing cuddly toys etc had them out to dry and now they are back in and packed away. DS has finished school for this year and DH has the afternoon off so we are having a nice leisurely afternoon. I am feeling much better today so yesterday must have just been a blip.

 

[Blue_bear]

Hope H is ok Linds.

Hope your H is ok too Doods!

Mel - I know what you mean about expensive doggie haircuts :S Glad Rocky is ok after his op. Bud went for his check up yesterday and got the all clear too. Although he is limping this morning...sigh...

Hann - Glad you got out and about this morning. I agree walking does hurt a bit, but i do feel like its helping because its pains and pressure in the right places if that makes sense?!

Bec - Elliot is gorgeous!! So cute in his little outfit. Cant wait till we can all start the 'real' baby talk Good luck with the breast feeding too, all the advice i can offer is to make sure you get the help if you need it. xxx

Congrats to Sparkle

Sorry to everyone i have missed out. I cant seem to function all that well at the moment. Am trying to walk lots to get baby out but it really does knaker me out!

xx

 

[samzi]

congrats sparkle.

my friend who is due the same day as me has been in slow labour since last wed, and has gone to the hospital today as the pains are just too much. I told her she can pop first then its my turn
