[Jenni4]

Yay for Claire!!! Congratulations! I hope you are baby are recovering well!!

Went to dr's this morning....baby is fine, but nicely settled in...head still not engaged and not planning on coming out any time soon. Was told I would have c/s on July 17/18 if baby does not come before then.... Please come out baby!!! Don't make me come and get you!!!

 

[Hann12]

Congratulations Claire!! Such lovely news! Hope you're okay after the c section too.

Jenni - how come you will have a c section? Wouldn't they just induce you?

Curlew - sorry the pain is so bad, not long to go now!

Caz - yeah for the cramps! I had them last night but in waves for a couple of hours every 10 minutes then I must have fallen asleep! Don't worry too much about the eating and weight at the moment!

My friend is just coming round now so short message! Just remade the failed muffins from yesterday. It's so hit outside too!

Squeeker - hope you are okay, my baby went mad last night too, made me feel really sick!

 

[melissasbump]

Huge congratulations to Clare and her family, hope you are all doing well xx

 

[Jenni4]

@Hann- I'm a VBAC and my dr won't induce me because of that. so....I will just keep my fingers crossed that baby comes....I've been using my ball, may even resort to sex....but that's about it. I'm trying to go with the flow and stay relaxed.

 

[freckles09]

Just wanna say big congrats to DM and Claire on the birth of your daughters! Hope you're both doing well. Have seen DM's pics on Facebook and Sophie is gorgeous! Claire I can't wait to see pics of Niamh.

Eve I hope Saraya is ok...

Elliot is doing well and BF feeding is going ok although the little milk monster is feeding every 2 hours or so!

Wonder who will be next?!

 

[Aaisrie]

Thanks everyone. Literally just got home. They've allowed her to come home on antibiotics but we have to keep her temperature down. So glad to be home, totally exhausted after only getting a couple of hrs sleep. Only just got my zofran because I didn't have it with me so I'm not a well person right now!! Looking forward to my bed tonight!!!

 

[curlew]

eve - glad your home and saraya is okay.

hann - hope the muffins are okay this time and you enjoy having your friend over.

Jenni - fingers crossed bouncing on your ball will help and you dont have to have a c section.

sparky - gosh she must have been very active to make you feel ill like that, poor you. Hope she is moving down for you and it could be the start of something. Only a few days to go til you are in anyway isnt it?

caz - hope you have a nice time at your bbq. Enjoy your meals as when the wee one is here you will end up grabbing what you can when you can lol.

Freckles - glad to hear elliot is doing well.

AFM - hands till playing up but I can't sit and do nothing as my back starts to hurt so have cleaned all the bathroom including the skirtings floor and shower glass, so its spotless in there. DH has been and done the shopping and has taken DS to his swimming lesson so am having a rest now. Roast chicken for tea tonight yummy.

 

[DragonMummy]

Just a quickie as on phone. congrats Claire! We're on our way home now so talk more later xxx

 

[Aaisrie]

Yay DM I thought you weren't getting home until tomorrow!!! So happy for you :]

 

[mummySS]

Congrats claire!! Hope it all went ok and you're recovering from the section. Can't wait to see piccies!

Hannah - oops sorry I didn't mean to imply you shouldn't eat med rare steak, you go for it girl. They use the best quality meat so really I'm sure it's fine

Eve - glad you're home with saraya, must have been such a scare And glad you are now reunited with your zofran!

Curlew- my goodness you're supposed to be resting and you're cleaning skirting boards with numb hands! Pleeeaassseee take a rest!

Caz - that's sooo funny that I guessed the restaurant I guess giftos is the place to be in southall! Glad you enjoyed. I am terrible with spicy food so find it a bit much, but it is very tasty! And good luck to you for the family wedding, wow thats going to be exhausting, but prob quite fun too!

Dm - pics of soph on facebook are gorgeous! I just love how cute and proud Harry looks of his little sis. You must be on

Afm, just got back from a late brunch to see my cuz who just arrived from Sydney, I haven't seen her in years so was lovely to catch up. Just sat on the iPad now in the garden with my feet in a bucket of cold water... Bliss! It's such a lovely day!

Think I might pack my hospital bag today too! Oh Jen, Im the same as you - baby's head not engaged at all...

Xx

 

[Hann12]

Simmy - you might find that the baby just fully engages all at once rather than the messing around I've been getting with mine dipping in and out! The bucket of cold water sounds good. It's ridiculously hot outside!!

Linds - glad you are home so soon!

Jenni - hadn't realised you were vbac, hopefully it will all go to plan

Curlew - look after your hands!

Freckles - so glad to hear everything is going well!

My friend just bought me a nappy cake which has baby grows, socks, hat, lots of nappies and a cuddly toy. Really sweet! Now back inside as it's just too hot out there! Got another 2 friends coming in a couple of hours too.
My muffins were okay this time thankfully!
Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend with their DH's

 

[curlew]

am trying to rest honestly but I need to balance doing something and sitting doing nothing as otherwise my back gets sore lol. Have done some washing but that didn't take much as its just slinging it in the machine!

So I decided to clean the bathroom and am now scanning some photos into the computer as we are trying to get all our old photos electronic so we can get rid of all our old paper copies and albums. My nesting instinct is kicking in in the oddest of ways lol.

DM - glad you are on your way home.

Hann - the nappy cakes are fab aren't they

Mummyss - you are so lucky having the sunshine. Its overcast and raining here but still quite warm.

 

[melissasbump]

Afternoon all.

Linds, so glad they have let you out so soon, cant wait to hear about your experiance!

Clare, hope you are recovering well

Eve, glad they have let Saraya go home, what an awful experiance, hopefully the antibiotics will do the trick.

Curlew, you must have ants in your pants or something! And your house must be spotless! lol

Simmy, sounds like a nice day has been had by you, the bucket of cold water sounds like a great idea!

Hann, I love nappy cakes, what a fab gift! Enjoy spending time with your friends

Freckles, glad Elliot is doing well!

Well i was up all night last night with a horrid one sided headache that paracetamol wasnt touching. We were a bit concerned that it was linked to increased blood pressure so went to the docs this moring to get it checked (Yes my docs opens on a sun! Fab!) The lady doctor i saw was really nice currenty pregnant with her 5th child, she checked my BP which was ok, then did my urine, which for the 1st time had traces of ketones and protein so that is being sent off. She checked the HB etc and all well, jusst told me to rest as much as poss. So ive basically been sleeping on and off all day. was out in the garden for an hour this morning bt was making my head worse so since then been dosing on the sofa, only just recently woke up and it appears to be subsiding.

OH has been painting the bathroom bless him, and done loads more washing, now a massive pile of ironing! any takers? ...Curlew?... lol

 

[Hann12]

Mel - hope you feel better, I wouldn't be surprised if it was caused by dehydration as it's so hot! I haven't been out much today but I still feel nasty, all the extra weight is not good in this heat. My feet feel swollen even though they look normal. Greg is rigging me up a foot bath using the baby bath.
I have no idea how I'll cope tomorrow as it's meant to be hotter and I am due to be in the hairdresser for several hours getting my hair highlighted. Hope they have a fan!

Curlew - you are amazing, always on the go! Hope you do rest a bit

 

[caz_hills]

Jenni – glad your drs appointment went well today – the head will engage soon I am sure. You are a mid-July beach bump as well (same here!) so we have a while still!

Freckles – lovely to hear from you – glad Elliott is ok.

Eve – glad you are home and can hopefully get some rest.

Curlew - you need to rest! You are so active, especially with your hands as well, and your cleaning is amazning!

Linds – glad you are en route home. Look forward to hearing how Sophie’s entrance to the world happened.

Simmy – I have this funny image of you with your feet in a bucket of water – but it sounds so nice, I am boiling but I love the summer and the hot weather so I’m not complaining – I just wish I could be outside enjoying it more! Tee hee about Gifto’s as well – am still full today!

Hann – sounds like a busy day for you but so nice to have your friends over and that the muffins worked out 2nd time!

Melissa – poor you with your headache. Hope it’s better now and that your feeling a bit better.

AFM – had lovely BBQ with MIL and FIL and now hubbie is off at golf. So I’ve been sorting through some wedding photos from 2 years ago and also relaxing with my natal hypnotherapy CD’s. So v chilled. Better do something really but just envious that I can’t sit outside in the gorgeous sun as it’s fabulous out there!

 

[mummySS]

Hann make sure you wear something very airy at the hairdressers tomorrow. Good idea to get the highlights in before baby comes!

Caz - glad you had a good BBQ, sounds lovely. did i miss something, why can't you go outside?

Mel - sorry you've been unwell hun, good job you got it checked out though. I had a slightly dodgy urine sample last week too - they said there were some white cells in it so it's been sent off.

I can't believe in a matter of weeks all our babies will be here! Such an exciting thought. I am so excited to see how all the births go, and what the yellow bumps turn into

 

[mummymarsh]

congratulations to all the beach bump ladies who have had their babies over last 48 hours.... its soo amazing im bursting with excitment for all those that have gone through it and those who are only days/weeks away....

Caz - i lived in bracknell.. was born in ascot.. mum and dad work in reading.... also lived in binfield..... where you from???

 

[caz_hills]

Sunny - no reason why I can't go outside, just too hot!!! So been venilating the house and chilling out in the shade or inside. How boring!

MM - I'm near Reading too, small world! It's a lovely part of the country, I love it here. Where do you live now? xx

 

[mummymarsh]

ohh i lived in maidenhead too... i live in norfolk now, RAF Marham.. the Husband is based here....

i LOVE the oracle in reading

 

[Hann12]

Simmy I agree it's mad to think in a few weeks hopefully we'll all have our babies!! So exciting!!
I'll be wearing as little a possible while still covering the bump tomorrow! Hairdressers will be awful but at least I will look good at the end!!

Caz - you aren't far from me either - I'm Richmond.

My best friend just told me she is 11.5 weeks pregnant! So excited for her, due in Jan! Just gave her my Doppler, doubt I'll need it between now and the due date, at least I hope not!! So exciting anyway!
