Hann, you still look so slim, apart from your cute bump. You don’t seem to have hamster cheeks & double chins like I do!! Good idea about going for a curry on your due date. Is it the new transformers film you’ve found online?

I got my cross stitch from Hobbycraft, they have a ridiculous amount of choice, think I spent half an hour trying to choose!
Eve, how do you have time for cross stitching? Is it just because I’m a first timer or do they always take this amount of hours?!
Simmy, definitely a good thing to do to make the hours pass quicker if you need that!!

Maria, thanks for the labour dust, I’m trying to waft it off the screen.

Mel, how are you feeling today hun? A few people now have said about thinking it was the real thing but going to bed and waking up with it all gone. You’d have thought it would be a good idea to get rest in early labour, but I think if it happens to me now I wouldn’t want to go to sleep in case in stopped!

Simmy, how do you get on with you being at home and Paul working, do you bug him at all? It’s sad but true, by the end of the day I’m definitely like a puppy dog waiting for DH, when he gets home I practically follow him around the house.

I’ve just realized the time & that its now pretty unlikely my baby will be born on the 13th, so I’m secretly pleased about that. 14th is a good birthday though, come on baby… let’s avoid that sweep.

Sorry to hear it didn't come to anything this time Mel, as others have said every contraction counts though, one less to have in active labour!

Eve I didn't contribute last night but I personally prefer Atticus, but glad you came to a joint decision.
For us I am keener on the boy name we've chosen and DH is on the girl name (Cameron and Cassandra/Cassie), but we'll probably go with something completely different!

Despite not getting to sleep til 2am I've been up, stripped the bed, got is washed and hung out, cleaned the bathroom, done the recycling, been to library and dropped my friends' keys off as they're back from hols and had my lunch! Don't know where this energy has come from but I'm not complaining. Also got cat flap installation organised for Friday and organised new boiler for next month. Hopefully with all these jobs done baby will come!!!

Sorry for missing so many people
Hope the babies are doing well and more bumps pop in the next few days x

 

[Hann12]

Thanks for the kind messages about my bump, I'm hoping the baby isn't too big too!

Tor - I'll look at hobbycraft online too. Yes it's the latest transformers, it's so far not too good! Passes the time!
I'm like that when my hubby comes home, following him around and wanting to hear all about his day! He would get no work done if he worked from home!

Fi - maybe the burst of energy is a prelude to labour, hope so! I've gone into reverse, did have energy but not now!

Secretly glad my baby won't be here today on the 13th too!!

Tor a small one normally takes a few hrs. The good thing about some of the magazines is they'll tell you how many hrs estimated to complete it. I find the longest time is rethreading the needle and tidying the back [pulling the thread through when you've gotten to the end of it]. Some people have like lots of needles and start off by threading each colour onto a needle and then they just have to lift the needle with the colour they need. What sort of size is your pattern?

I almost wish Atticus had been born today because I just realised it's Patrick Stewart's birthday today!! I sooo love him!

 

[Aaisrie]

Thanks for the comments etc on the name thing. I'm totally thrilled it's still gonna be Atticus and feel soo much better that it's all been cleared up BEFORE he's here!!

 

[melissasbump]

Hi ladies.

Eve, glad you got the name dilemma sorted out!

Curlew, hope Logan put on weight, he sounds like a great feeder! cant believe your DS was 3 weeks late!

Simmy, glad you finally got your work finished!

Jenn, so annoying when you lose all your text isnt it! I wonder who WILL be the last bump standing...

Starry, the teasing is horrid isnt it!

Hann, yay for the flowers and chocolates from Greg! Its nice when they are thoughtful isnt it!
Well done for sending the MIL on the way too! Great bump too! so neat!

Tor, dont feel bad! lol. Hope you enjoyed Holby and the ball bouncing!

Doodles, thanks for your kind words, i feel a bit embarrased now that i was wrong, i think next time il keep quiet till im actually in hospital! lol

Fifi sounds like you have had a productive day! Apparently you get a burst of energy before labour so maybe you wont be waiting long!


Well ive been in a fed up sulky mood all day, partly why i havent posted much, didnt want to bring the mood down!
I got up early then went back to bed until about 11.
OH has been off work today and i think he wishes he hadnt bless him! I just dont understand how things can just disappear i really dont!
We went to Sainsburys this afternoon and after walking around for about 10 minutes i nearly doubled over with pain under my bump, i just dont get it, since ive been home its worn off a bit although still got some tightenings but im just gonna ignore it all now..
On the upside my online sale slot at Next starts at 6pm so im gonna kill some time mass ordering a load of stuff i dont need! they have some really cute baby clothes half price and also going to order myself some tops and maxi dresses for after the birth whenever that will be!
Hope everyone is having a good day xx

 

[mummySS]

Wow Fifi productive day! I've not been that good. My sis came round but the twins were sleeping in the car so i didn't get any cuddles Disappointing as i dont know whether i'll see them now before the baby comes... They were my original babies, honestly i love them like they are my own kids If it weren't for them i probably wouldn't have gotten round to having a baby just yet!

Right, i am slowly getting through my to-do list. So borrringggg...

 

[mummySS]

Aww melly I'm not surprised you've been a bit peed off today. We'll try not to get you all excited next time... If you're looking for distraction, not sure if you're into it but it's wednesday which means Apprentice tonight! woop woop!

 

[Jenni4]

Hi Everybody!! Can anyone else not believe that we have had only one birth in the last 6 days?? I think there are 5 or 6 of us overdue now! Strange! We had so many early babies it was beginning to feel like the norm to go early! Even if it's not me, we need some more babies here to get the ball rolling!!

 

[Hann12]

I have no idea how the next sale thing works so I'm not part of it, probably saved myself a fortune though! Hope you get some nice stuff Mel!

Simmy - yay for apprentice night, burns an hour of the dull evenings tv!

I've been feeling sick for the past couple of hours. Got really bad indigestion even though I last ate about 5 hours ago!

 

[melissasbump]

Simmy, yay i love the apprentice!!

Hann ,you have to be a GOOD Next customer in the 1st place to get in on there VIP sale, im well chuffed as everything i ordered was in stock and so did nearly £400 in half hour! lol, that wasnt just my stuff, that was stuff for OH as well and half of it will be sent back most likely!
Indigestion.... nasty stuff.

Just had major clear out and have started mild contractions again.. im just ignoring...

 

[Hann12]

Wow £400 is loads! Hope you got some nice stuff! I rarely shop there so I wouldn't count! Maybe I will with the baby though.
Don't think about the signs - hopefully things will progress but at least if you ignore it you don't get disappointed of it doesn't.
Yes indigestion is rubbish!

Our friend is meant to be on the apprentice tonight, hope he hasn't been cut out!

 

[melissasbump]

your friend? whats he doing?

 

[Hann12]

He is interviewed in the pie shop asking what he thinks of the pies! Quite funny!

 

[melissasbump]

Cool will look out for him! Lol x

 

[DragonMummy]

£367 here!!

All of harrys next years wardrobe, winter stuff for sophie, clothes for me and mart and 2 bales of towels. Love the half price-ness!

 

[Hann12]

He wasn't on it! They cut him out

 

[Hann12]

Oh well done linds! You sound like you bought loads!
Maybe I'll be on the next sale list another time. It's probably saved me a lot of money not buying now though as I probably don't need anything much!

 

[melissasbump]

I dont either hann but its still fun! X

 

[DragonMummy]

I started getting the vip invites when I was on mat leave with harry! boredom plus credit = big spender!
