[caz_hills]

Curlew - you Son is so sweet! Bless him, he is so clever! I try not to drink fizzy drinks too but not drinking alcohol means that when I'm out for dinner, a fizzy drink is the next best thing! Also, will def get the baby moving I'm sure!

Hann - the CD's are good, I plan the same as you - get them on when labour starts and hope for the best!

Squeeker - not really noticed any difference in hair growth, although lots of people have said it is usually less.

Sparky - hope you feel better soon hun.

BB - I hope the coke helps and take care for yourself. xx

AFM - had good day - finished off cleaning out the kitchen cupboards, written nearly all of my thank you cards from the baby shower and now wrapping up hubbie's aniversary present. Looking forward to an awesome Indian meal tonight for our 2 year anniversary!!!!

Love the photos of little Sophie on facebook from Linds - can't wait to hear her story when she logs on here next. xx

Lol curlew that's really cute

Squeeker - I def think my leg hair grow has been slower than normal, but unfortunately I've been growing fast hair in a ton of other places!

Ok, I was up again for 3 hours last night with the most intense itching on my hands, feet, belly etc. I went back to sleep this afternoon and just woke up with an itchy eye and hive-like bumps on my eyelid. Does anyone have a clue what this is? The itchy palms sounds suspiciously like OC but not sure about the eyelid... If it gets worse or doesn't disappear I will get myself to the doctor but in the meantime thought I'd check with you guys...

Managed a walk with the dog this afternoon and feels like baby is poking its head out, so heavy!! I really could bearly walk by the end of it!
Just made some peanut butter and choc chip cookies and they are yummy!!

Squeeker, havent really noticed re body hair, i can manage to do under my arms every day, as for my legs well i really cant be arsed! lol

Curlew, very cute by your son!

Kelz, nice to see you x

Sparky sorry you are feeling rubbish

Caz and Hann, i am desperatly checking for my plug everytime i go to the toliet! no luck yet, but Freckles has filled me with hope! So has my friend whome i only saw Wed, she had no symptoms at all and had her baby boy this morning!

B Bear, i think baby movements slow down at this stage to be honest, try not to worry, im sure the coke will do the trick though.

Last night was really weird, i was sitting/laying on the sofa when i felt a massive tightening which almost made me gasp for breath, my whole bump went lobsided as if the baby managed to complety move over or something! It was so weird and i had to get up and walk about as it was so uncomfortable!

Linds, Lovely pics on FB Sophie is gorgeous x

Is anyone doing anything interesting tonight or just slobbing like me?

Simmy, my friend who just gave birth got really itchy about a week ago all over, no rash just itchiness, they gave her a test for liver function so if no better by mon then i would go to quacks, there is a conditon that can occur in late pregnancy relating to liver function, i dont really know the implications of it but best get yourself checked.

Lots of labour dust for all you ladies!

This is Jacob asleep in the nursing pillow lol

BV, yesterday my husband took me on a "date" as it was our last chance of spending some time together. We went to the cinema to see X-Men, it was just so nice to spend some quality time outwith the "to do" list. I too have one of them, we're nearing the end of it though.........thankfully.

Curlew, you have brought up one intelligent young man

Caz - Happy Anniversay, enjoy your meal tonight xx

Mummyss - it does sound like OC no harm in getting checked out. Were you scratching your eyes?? I scratched my body so badly it came out in hives with my OC my skin is badly marked now and i'm having to use bio-oil for them.

Sofie - your wee boy is just gorgeous!! How's it all going??

Just waiting on my curry arriving, i'm so hungry xx

It's going okay at the moment but Jacob has now got colic so not alot of sleep around here but otherwise I am loving being a mummy

It's still really odd aswell because he still isn't due to be here until Tuesday! But wouldn't change it for the world!

 

[Hann12]

Caz - it's our first anniversary on Monday! Happy anniversary for tonight!

I have had less hair growth too - thank god there are some pregnancy perks!!

Mel - I just went for an hours walk and I agree it feels like the baby is much lower, I am almost waddling and just really slow! Surely we can't be like this foe another 3weeks!!

I just made muffins and didn't realise they weren't cooked enough and now all 12 are ruined. I could cry! Very disappointing, I'm normally really good at baking.

SK - Jake looks very cute

Curlew - love the story about your son!

BB - did the coke work?

BV - you never know the second helping of eggplant might be all you need!!

 

[SugarBeth]

Squeeker - I've actually noticed the opposite! In the last week I seem not to be able to shave enough, and my eyebrows keep trying to get very unruly very quickly.

BV, everyone has a different idea for when I'm going to go. In the end, basically everyone just says "well, you never know." lol. Well, I'd love to know - and I'd love to know this weekend! The hospital has me all set up for post date testing and an induction date, which makes me so nervous. Hoping she comes out before either of those! The post date testing is on the 7th, so I want her here by the 6th at the latest (and coincidentally, my birthday is the 6th!)

I'm not on anyone's facebook, so I really can't wait until the pictures reach this thread! I want to see the babies!

I ate so much eggplant that I had to get DH to eat the rest of it last night because it was literally causing me to gag to see it! I still have some time for it to work, but i'm not so sure if it will. So far the biggest thing that seems to work and get contractions going is bouncing on my ball for a while. It's no fun, and kills my back, but it does raise my hopes afterwards when the cramps get super bad!

 

[Hann12]

Simmy - the hot weather might be making you itchy too. See what your mw says but I'm a bit itchy on the feet and hands but have noticed it more when I've been hot. For the first time my hands have swollen too!

ANOTHER BEACH BUMP ON THE WAY!!!

Just had a text from Claire, hopefully she doesnt mind me updating but i will ask that no one puts anything on facebook as thats an announcement for her to make. I am not saying anyone on here would but i nearly made the mistake last night of tagging DM in a status before i came to my senses and realised it would show on her page too!

Anyway....
Claire's water went @ 8am and she is currently 6cm dilated. She is totally loving and whole heartedly recommends the epidural!

Good Luck Clareabell!!!! xx

 

[BlueViolet]

Sparky, it's so cute that you guys went on a date and put the "to do" list aside. How was X-Men? I would like to see it too. Sadly, my husband has a bunch of work he needs to finish and has to block off some time today and tomorrow for it. Then the in-laws wanted to get together and will be joining us on our brunch out tomorrow. Not sure how much of a "date" we'll be able to put together this time around. I'm feeling really upset at the moment and I know it doesn't make any sense...It's like I'm a puppy waiting around for my husband to make time to play. I feel so pathetic at the moment. My friends are either working or live far away, so I'm stuck at home with time to kill. I probably sound like such a brat complaining about free time. I'm just going out of my mind. I should just go find something to bake or walk the mall or something.

Caz and Hann, happy anniversary! Hope you guys have a nice romantic evening

Caz, I'm impressed by how productive you've been today. Way to go!

Hann, don't worry about the muffins. It can happen to anyone. Maybe you can try a different batch later.

SK, hope Jacob feels better soon! He's a cutie

Mummy, hope you feel better soon! The itchiness sounds awful.

Mel, your cookies sound delicious! Good job on the long walk!

 

[BlueViolet]

Bb, thanks for passing on the news. It's so exciting!

 

[Jenni4]

Our babies are coming quickly!!! It's not even July!!

 

[mummySS]

Ooh Claire good luck!! Can't wait to hear the news! Another beach bump baby

Thanks for the update bb.

And thanks for your comments re the itch. Hopefully it's down to the heat rather than anything more sinister. Am going out to a karaoke bar for my cousin's 40th tonight... Something tells me I won't last very long!! The great thing is that it's local, only 5 min drive away, so I can drive there and leave when I want.

Xx

 

[curlew]

DS is definately too smart for his own good sometimes but he does make us laugh as he is like 7 going on 70. DH was killing himself laughing when he said it.

BB thanks for the update on Clare. Woo hoo two of the babes expected next week coming over the weekend. Best laid plans and all that. Good luck Clare.

squeeker - haven't noticed a great change in my hair but have noticed it needs to be done as arms and legs are getting a bit out of control. Am planning to dye my hair tomorrow so will do it then whilst I am waiting on the dye. Did all my nails this afternoon, cut them short and filed them so that they are easier for when baby arrives.

BV - oooh the brie stuffed french toast sounds fab. I haven't had either of those since becoming pregnant and it sounds devine.

caz - wow productive day. Have a lovely meal out to celebrate your anniversary.

mummyss - sorry you had a bad night. Definately worth getting the itch checked out.

mel - peanut and chocolate chip cookies sound delish. Everyone seems to have gone into baking mode in the past few days. Shame we couldn't have a bring and share morning !

sofie - lovely pic of Jacob he is doing well, shame about the colic though. DS had it for about a year, I walked miles in circles with him in the livingroom in the dead of night til he passed wind. Am so hoping this one doesn't have the same!!!

sparky - glad you enjoyed your date with OH.

Mel - sorry your muffins didn't turn out as normal.

afm - had a bit of a lazy day today as back still hurting from working in the garden yesterday. But managed to go to sainsburys and stock up on breast pads and nipple cream.

 

[sparky32]

Oh Claire good luck!! Thanks BB for the update.

Sofie, sounds like you've really taken to being a mummy, poor wee lamb having colic though it must be sore all the more reason to get extra cuddles from mummy. Cant wait to join you in the graduates thread

BV, i understand about the time thing, its hard i just wait for my hubby coming home & i miss him so much when he's working. I hope you guys manage to find a little time just for you.

I have a wee bit TMI alert, all afternoon i've been passing green stools?? I havent eaten anything green & i'm not on vitamins. I feel quite run down & like i said earlier i've been sleeping a lot since yesterday. Any ideas??

Xxx

 

[sparky32]

Oh X-men was really good thoroughly enjoyed it but i do love the X-Men films, especially enjoyed the small glimpse of Wolverine.........theres just something rather sexy about him mmmmm
