Morning all!

Hann, thanks for the update on Caz - and on VB. It had to be something a bit out there didn't it!! Paul thought the 7 was for his shirt too, lol.

Thanks for all the due date wishes. Jenni, I am happy for you to go in front of me as I have plans today and still haven't finished my sodding work!

Claire, ouchie for the baby thrush, poor little niamh. You seem to be in good spirits so I hope that continues

Eve - poor saraya, I'm sure you don't want to see the inside of a hospital again but perhaps you should take her just to be sure.

BV - so pleased you've had a slightly better time of it this weekend. Must hve been lovely to go for a walk with the baby and dog

Fifi - wow how do you relax your cervix? That's impressive.

Curlew - good to hear from you, welcome home! Had been wondering how you ad Logan were getting on.

Caz - thinking of you hun!

Sorry if I forgot anyone, am on phone. Gotta drag my lazy arse outta bed and get moving! Got the cleaner coming soon and then meeting with NCT gals later. Amidst doing my work at some point (this is going to be a common theme in my next few posts. Wish I would just sodding do it, lol!)

Morning all.

Hann, thanks for update on Caz, her signs really werent teasing her were they!

Eve, hope Saraya is feeling better soon, did you manage to get her in at the doctors? Just out of interest what national holiday is it over there tomorrow?

Clare, Mouth thrush sounds no fun at all, poor little Niamh bless her

Freckles, I hope you are feeling better today hun and the health visitor was able to help you out with some tips for Elliot.

Simmy, A cleaner? wow you must be rich! Id love a cleaner.. and a cook!

Doodles, yay for big boobies!

Caz still thinking of you and eagarly awaiting your news!!

AFM im pretty fed up today, im so uncomfortable and constant cramps intermitent contractions are doing my head in.
OH is going a bit insane too, hes so excited, but he was bouncing off the walls yesterday all afternoon and evening he wouldnt sit down for more than 5minutes and kept going off to do random things. We went to bed just before 11 and he got up again at 1230 and didnt come back to bed till 4am, at which point i was wide awake and couldnt sleep anymore.
He says his mind was just racing, that he was so excited and on the other hand so desperatly wants to be a good father and is scared of failing, now i know hes gonna make the best daddy in the world but the way he was describing his feelings he was coming across really negative and almost like he was having doubts...Not something i really need to hear at this point. We did clear the air but its put a bit of a downer on things for me today.. sorry for the negetive post probably just hormones...

 

[mummySS]

Oh no Mel, just what you need at this point! It sounds from what you described that he's not having doubts but just genuinely scared of not being a good dad. Hope you were able to reassure him as he has to stay positive for you!!

Ps honestly I need a cleaner cos I'm completely undomestic and Paul and I used to fight so much about cleaning and who was doing what that it just about saved our marriage when we got one! I seriously recommend, it is worth sacrificing other stuff to pay for one lol!

 

[mummySS]

Omg how annoying is my ticker?! I just noticed it says "hooray, I've arrived!". Meh!

And talking of annoying I've had a thousand texts today already. Hence my Facebook status about starting to watch the second series of Sabrina this week. Lol.

Where is Tor? Not heard from her since yest...

 

[Hann12]

Mel - it sounds like your OH is just nervous about being a good dad, which is quite sweet really. As the time comes, and with you starting to have more pains, he is probably worried about how he can best support you through everything. Its good that he can talk to you about it and tell you how he is feeling though. I know its probably a bit worrying for you but I think its better that our OH's think about these things rather than just expect everything to be perfect - it is going to be tough at times.
Greg gets all deep sometimes and goes off and does research to see how he can help me when the baby comes, especially with hormone imbalances etc.

Simmy - you make me laugh, you STILL have work to do?! Finish it today so you can relax and not worry about it. I can guarentee that baby of yours won't wait for ever!

Fi - glad the appointment went well, really shouldn't be long for you now!

Had a long walk round the park, lunch and going to acupuncture in 40 minutes. At least if nothing else it should relax me.

Is anyone else getting sharp pains in their lower back? Not sure if its baby or disc related!

Hope everyone else are having nice days.

 

[Hann12]

Simmy - I saw your post, made me laugh. I'm not even due for 5 days and I've had 3 texts and 2 emails this morning. One of which said 'any news' and then when I said it wasn't the dd yet she replied 'oh so the tinker is making us all wait!'. No the baby hasn't reached the dd yet, give it a chance!!!!! arrgghhhh

 

[melissasbump]

The most ANNOYING person who keeps contacting us is Alans sister, we keep getting texts and fb messages saying "any sign of that baby yet?" Shes family for god sake as if she would know! I feel like replying saying "oh yeah had it did we forget to tell you?" doh

Thanks Simmy and Hann, i think its just nerves plus excitement on both our parts, hes just really wound himself up as it looked like things were happening and now they have stalled its just frustrating him.

Ive just booked my VIP sale slot on the NEXT website for Wed evening so am gonna spend the next two days finding things i dont need to buy! xx

Saw the nurse who sent her straight through to the Dr. Apparently her tonsils are still inflamed from 2 weeks ago even though she's finished the antibiotics. The highest her temp has been today is 38.2 but her speech started slurring and her tongue was floppy which is the precursor for another convulsion so we need to be really careful that it doesn't get higher than that or else it's straight to the emergency room. The Dr was really nice and has put her on even stronger antibiotics, she was on a weeks worth of amoxicillan last week but since that hasn't shifted it he's put her on one for pneumonia or something... She's only allowed 3ml a day for 3 days so it must be strong. The pharmacy didn't have any in so I've to go back at 4:30 to get it... My HG is wrecking me today, as sick as a dog...

Mel it's the 12th July so it's a "protestant" day of parades, bands, bonfires bigger than houses [lit on the 11th night, as in tonight!] and normally a lot of rioting!! The riots used to be HORRENDOUS, road blocks everywhere and all the shops shut but it hasn't been too bad in recent years. In saying that there's been a lot of rioting recently in the lead up to the 12th so people are expecting it to be bad this year... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twelfth
I didn't take the following picture but this is the one where I used to live, it was nearly right outside my house and when it was lit you could feel the heat from your front garden!

[mummySS]

The most annoying text I had was from my cousin in the US: "Are you dilated yet?"

FFS!!! None of her beeswax!! Kinda made me giggle though. How does being pregnant make it ok for other people to discuss the state of your cervix? Lol

 

[mummySS]

Oh eve... for saraya and for your HG...

 

[Hann12]

Eve - I'm glad you have seen the dr and they have given more antibiotics, I really hope they work this time!

Stupid people and their annoying messages, it's even worse though when you haven't reached your dd and these people a) think they can badger you like they are the only ones that are bothered about when the baby is here, well no, there is noone more bothered than us!! B) the fact that you would tell them anyway c) that they continue to text chase every single day!

 

[topazicatzbet]

hey girls. i ve not had any text etc yet but im sure they will start coming over the next week.

my sis saw a psychic last night who said she saw josh coming 7th aug
i cant wait that long, im so desperate for him to make an appearence, i have to be bridesmaid for my best friend on 21th aug. i really want a july baby too not an aug one.

 

[Hann12]

I don't think that's very likely - would mean you are 16 days overdue and they would normally induce at 12 days. I say get your money back from the psychic!!

 

[topazicatzbet]

thats what im hoping. not sure when they induce where im from will ask when i see mw tom.

i ve already told her im really stressed about going over due cos i had troble delivering my first son who was only 7lb 4 and if i go over due im looking at being bigger. she doesnt seam to care though.

 

[Aaisrie]

You don't HAVE to be induced though, I would tell them to stuff it if I went that overdue!!

 

[Aaisrie]

Thanks Simmy, I could just so do without HG right now!!!! It's timing is crap. And I don't even know if the nursery is open tomorrow... there is nothing in her book to say it's not but when I rang no-one answered the phone?!

 

[Jenni4]

Well.... Simmy and Starry, i hope you have better luck than me....it's 6:30 in the evening here with no sign of baby...guess I'll be joining the overdue crew in a few short hours

 

[melissasbump]

Eve, glad Saraya has got more antibiotics, bless her hope she feels better very soon.
Riots are scarey things, been involved in a few at work and people just turn into raging physcos. Be careful.

Jenn, not to worry bout being overdue, the more i think about it the more i think i will be overdue. Although im sure its taking my body more effort to keep this baby in that to get it out, the weight is outrageous!

Hann, hope the acupunture went well, any changes?

so bored....

 

[Hann12]

I'll join you in the overdue crew too I'm sure!

Had the acupuncture, it was pretty aggressive, she pushed the needles in far, they made different areas of my body twitch and one even gave me an electric shock! She said that I obviously have a high pain threshold as I made no noise when she did it. Believe me I could feel it but I wasn't about to show myself up!!
Have no idea if it will do anything, probably not LOL!! Thats my last session though, not doing anymore. If the baby doesn't want to come out no amount of prodding with needles is going to help I reckon. Just preparing for the long haul now

Mel - I'm sure I'll be just as bored very soon. I'm currently tasting some walkers extra crunchy salt and vinegar crisps and they are really good - I'd recommend them.

No more news from Caz, I don't want to text again as last time her hubby replied to me so don't want to look like I'm badgering them. Hopefully she is doing really well though and either has the baby or soon will.

Mel - its down to us to give birth on the same day now. I'm thinking I might actually try and hit the DD - I like the thought of being in the 5% who is on time
Not sure the baby will cooperate though!

 

[freckles09]

Mel - am a lot better today thanks - Elliot had a better night thankfully and has been good today. Try not to worry about your Hubby having doubts as I'm sure he's not having any doubts whatsoever, like someone else said he's prob just worried about being a good dad.

I was so emotional yesterday, sorry for the one sided post everyone. My Hubby was brilliant and while I was resting he took Elliot, tidied up, ran me a bath and did the dinner bless him.

Had the health visitor today and he has put on weight so am pleased! Must've been all that feeding at the weekend!

Any more news on Caz yet? What is her full name btw, didnt realise she was on FB and would like to add her.

What about Britt?

Sorry some of you are getting texts and emails asking if baby is here yet! How annoying - kind of a stupid question really so I think it warrants a stupid response like 'oh yes I forgot to tell you'!

Sorry if I've forgotten anyone, Elliot is asleep now so am going to try and sleep for a bit.
