Tor I have no idea!! Chris paid NO attention to my pregnancy with Saraya - I coulda been swinging from the ceiling and he wouldn't have realised!! In fact the other day he was saying he couldn't believe how much Atticus kicked and my belly moved and that Saraya never moved that much to which I informed him I had irritable uterus because she moved 23.5 out of every 24hrs!!!! Duh... men!!! LOL I hope your furniture goes smoothly!!!

BB I hope your appt goes well!!!

And you lot stop complaining about the heat in case it disappears!! I love it!!! :]

 

[Jenni4]

Wez and Curlew.... Let's get going with those boys.... The girls are taking a strong lead!!!

 

[Jenni4]

And you to BB!!!! Forgot you were a blue bump!!!!

 

[Tor81]

BB, let us know what the sweep is like, is it worth trying to avoid?!

Caz, I agree its a bit too warm!

Sorry Eve, I'd prefer it was on the cold side rather than hot at the moment. Especially once baby is here I want to be able to dress them in cute clothes instead of a nappy and nothing else if this warmth continues.

Hann, nursery furniture pics coming right up... (bear in mind thats all it is, no other decoration at the moment!).

Delivery/assembly men just gone, they were lovely and no problem at all (apart from 4 phone calls to find us!). I hate that I get nervous about these things, its not as though it makes any difference, one of the things I need to work on.

I don't know what to do now... I might try and get an appointment to get my eyebrows waxed just to get me out of the house.

Doodles congratulations on the arrival of Naomi! Cant wait for your birth story and pics!

Sunshine, congrats too on your baby girl!

Caz, Another action packed day for you! I dont know how you are doing it! i know i say that all the time but still!

Curlew, hope the pre op goes well and your wrists arent too bad today.

BBear, good luck with your sweep today!

Hann, leaky boobs! i havent had that yet, i keep squeezing but no joy! Lol, weird that it was just one!

Eve, Happy 38 weeks!

Claire, ive heard of that therapy but dont know anything about it, sounds like a good thing to try though.

Freckles glad the BF has got better for you and Elliot is doing well! 2 weeks already! Wow!

Amanda, big to you, sounds like the hospital are really messing you about. 2 days isnt long though, try and stay positive hunny xx

Tor, yay for nursery furniture arriving! Hope the delivery men arent too thick and dont hang around too long! Ribena, yes, im trying anything now! lol Oh just saw your nursery pics, what lovely colured wood where did you get that from?

AFM Im being lazy today, OH got up at stupid o clock and it just seems to mess up my own body clock but he refuses to sleep in another room bless him! lol
Think im just gonna sit and chill for a bit xx

 

[Aaisrie]

Mel I hope you have a restful day!!

Tor you have to remember that here in Northern Ireland it rains most of the year so when the sun comes out we revel in it!! I swear I was meant to be born nearer the equator!!! I don't feel the heat the way most people do, even when I went to Africa I didn't feel too hot and still had hot showers!!!!
I'm glad you got the furniture all day without a hassle!!

 

[mummySS]

Morning gals, only just woke up and had a great nights sleep, yay!!

Gotta get going, I must get a leg wax today otherwise I can't wear shorts and risk going into labour looking like a gorilla! And since we just moved area I need to find somewhere local!

Will come online properly later.

Doods - HUGE congrats on the birth of Naomi!! I'm so glad it went well, it sounds a lot less traumatic and more natural than H's birth so I'm really pleased for you, can't wait to see pics I bet she is gorgeous

Catch up with the rest of ya later xx

 

[Hann12]

I'm back from meeting the NCT girls!

BB - did you get the sweep? How did it go?

Mel - hope you have a nice lazy day

Tor - the nursery looks really nice, I love it! Glad that the delivery people weren't a nuisance too!

Simmy - hope you get a good leg wax, I've managed to epilate all the way through so thats been good. Now that my bump has dropped its even easier.
In the past few days my bump has gone from measuring 35cm (it was always a couple of weeks behind) to 27cm!!

This afternoon I'm cleaning the oven and the carpet and just cleaned the kettle.
Everything is painful 'down there' bladder is hurting and bowel pain again. I also had some wetness earlier but not sure what that was and isn't happening now. Will monitor that! But I am feeling full of energy and ready to tackle the last of my chores.
I am even going to do a french manicure!!

Looking forward to more baby news and I will update the graduate site shortly

 

[melissasbump]

Hann, i think your baby is gonna come sooner than you think! And before mine!! xx

 

[Blue_bear]

I agree with Mel, it sounds suspiciously close for you Hann!

Oh, and im still waiting for the midwife....gotta love when your just told 'lunchtime'

xx

 

[Hann12]

I don't know about that - BB you've had symptoms for weeks and have just gone overdue so I don't think there is rhyme or reason to any of it! I'd love to have the baby this weekend, if only we could chose hey!!

On a totally random note, I have just bought a product called 'Oust kitchen kettle descaler' it was only just over £2 and totally got all the limescale off the kettle. Amazing!
Yes sorry this is me getting excited about a clean kettle!!

BB - hope your appointment happens soon, so annoying when they are late but they always are!

 

[caz_hills]

BB - how annoying! Hope you are not waiting around for too much longer!

Hann - I agree, I think that you could be soon too! Loads of energy, cramps and pains - it's all looking good!

Watched an NHS CD today about Breastfeeding. It was quite informative and with my hormones today had me in tears as they showed deliveries and I couldn't help but have a little cry! But onwards now - off to my swim later once lunch has gone down.

 

[Hann12]

Just updated the graduate front page and the girls really have taken over!!

 

[Blue_bear]

Hann - We did our kettle the other day too, used the descaler stuff that came with the steriliser, it is quite exciting! Lol.
Yo make a good point about my baby.....but he is clearly taking after his father already an being a stubborn little bugger!

Caz - Hope you have a nice swim, i gave up on the thought of going when i realised how much i was likely to ache the next day!

Hubbys FB status today has just made me pmsl -
'im a fan of sooty but really hope sweep can do his bit'
Funny man.....

 

[caz_hills]

BB - I am such a slow swimmer! I barely move, only make about 15 lengths but at least o feel like I'm doing some exercise. I used to run a lot so not being able to makes me feel a bit sad so swimming and walking are my only options now! I can't say I'm exercising though as I am so slow!!!!

Hann - maybe some of our yellow bumps will be boys then?! My bump has stopped growing too - got to 35 cms and it's stayed there since. MW said that it was as the baby gets engaged it won't grow to 38 cms etc so I was hoping it wasn't anything to worry about.

 

[Hann12]

BB that is funny!! Bless him

Its weird what excites us these days, a bit of limescale gone and I'm a very happy girl!

 

[Hann12]

Caz - the NCT girls I meet have all had reduced bump sizes now so think thats the norm.
I knew mine had dropped but didn't realise that much. Its sore sitting down now - keep thinking I might snap the babies head. What a thing to worry about I know, even worse now I've seen it in writing!!

 

[melissasbump]

BB loving your hubbies FB status!

Hann, i was a bit like you over the weekend, was really having a cleaning frenzy and at last taking a bit of pride in my house again. my MW didnt measure my bump on Fri, but mines def dropped, its overhanging my foof. Just had some philly and biscuits for lunch and for the last hour been getting contraction like pains.

Caz, i got given a BF dvd at the beginning of my pregnancy but i havent watched it and now cant find it! Must look harder, it didnt really feel relevent at the time but it does now!

BTW dumb question alert.. a thread in 3rd tri made me think of this as i was under the impression that if you BF you still have to avoid the blue cheeses, pate etc? Can someone please clarify this for me as really looking forward to pate on toast asap but obviously not at the expense of my babies health. Sorry if i sound thick but i really dont have a scooby doo!

 

[Britt11]

ahh congratulations Doodles!! I was hoping to have a 4th of July baby but doesnt appear that is happening

Hope you ladies are doing well, 4 days over due now and slowly going crazy, absolutely no signs of LO- cramping has even subsided....

I have a drs apt today so hopefully there will be a good update of things starting at least

 

[Hann12]

Mel - I have no idea, I had heard that if your BF some babies will react badly to some foods you eat like spicy food, fizzy drinks etc but I didn't know you had to avoid certain food groups like in pregnancy.

I think I might have just lost some of my mucus plug - it wasn't a green colour or red, more yellowy and thick and clumped together. I'll have to ask the mw tomorrow.
