Evening all

Id wrote a post about 2 hours ago, thought id sent it but obviously hadnt. doh!

Hann, did i read you are having a sweep tomorrow? If so good luck with that, i hope it makes something happen for you. Ive got to wait till friday but the more i think about it the more i dont really want one.
Is Greg going back to work this week seeing as though you havent dropped?
Alan is going in, so he can still have the time off when needed.

Simmy, glad you got yourself out today and sounds like you bought some nice things.

Eve, that Beckham thing made me laugh, i dont even think she CAN read! lol

Emzee. good luck with the reflexology

Caz, do you mean the carrycot part of your pram? im hoping to use this when we go to my parents etc for overnight sleeping, maybe i should take a look at the mattress?

Jenn and Tor, im SURE you are both off having babies, good luck!!

Well AFM ive been an emotional wreck today. not helped by the fact my mum had got out loads of things from when i was a baby including a beautiful christening gown which both me and my brother had worn. She has given them to me to keep and i just burst into tears for some reason! Lovely gesture though.
When we got home we watched HP and deathly hallows part one so are all caught up now ready for when we get to see the new film, they hgave made so much more sense watching them all again.
Just had a nice bath and now ready for the apprentice final!

For the last few hours been having stabbing pains to my foof every few minutes and baby is wriggling like a mad thing. Wish it would just wriggle out of there!!

Mel I know what you mean about the emotional day! Everything makes me cry these days - just watched Marley and me and couldn't stop crying even though I'm not even a dog person! At least you cried over something sentimental and real!
Greg is going into work, he has been in the whole time though. He is coming home in the afternoon to take me to my appointment. In theory they are doing a sweep - mainly because they don't want me to go too over because of my back but I have a feeling they won't be able to do one. Baby is about 2 inches lower today so hoping that's a sign of things. Not that I'm meant to be looking for signs anymore!!
The pain in your foof could be your cervix thinning? Hope so for you

Apprentice time now yippee!! Surely Helen is the only one that could win this?!!

 

[Aaisrie]

LOL Mel I've done that so many times with forgetting to hit post lol

Topgun just came on E4!!!! :]

 

[mummySS]

yes i'm thinking it has to be Helen too! paul thinks it'll be Tom... And surely Jim will have made stuff up on his CV, lol! and it simply can't be annoying Susie!

Haven't started watching it yet as paul's still cooking dinner, we'll be about 10 mins behind!

Mel - aww that's sweet of your mum to save that stuff for you. Must have been v touching.

 

[Doodlepants]

Hi everyone!

I hope your sweep goes well tomorrow Hann! Mine seemed to do the trick eventually!

I've text Jenni and Tor- not heard from Tor, hopefully she's OK- I didn't text long ago though.
Jenni's OK, not in labour- a bit fed up now I think- I was the same so massive to Jenni and everyone else who's fed up with waiting!

I'll let you all know if I hear anything xxx

 

[MrsWez]

Not on much but wanted to let you ladies know I'm still thinking about you and hope you have your babies soon.

 

[Hann12]

Thanks for texting them Doods - I was going to see if you had heard from them, really hope Tor is giving birth!

Wez - lovely to hear from you! The other thread is starting to kick off - I can't wait to join it!

Doods - hope the sweep works too if they can do it!!

 

[fifi-folle]

Not a lot to report here. Have been having tightenings/contractions for the past few hours but not convinced they're going to come to anything. They were really strong when we went for a walk but have eased off a bit since we got home. Bit fed up tbh.

 

[Aaisrie]

Fifi I think you've held up really well considering I think you might be the most overdue one here!

 

[Hann12]

Me too - think you and Tor are the same dates! I hope it turns into the real thing!

 

[Squeeker]

ROFL over here re: Victoria Beckham... SURE that's her fave book!

I sure hope Tor is having her baby... I can't believe we still haven't had any these past few days!

AFM, nothing overly exciting in the way of progressing. Baby is really digging into my pelvis, making me very uncomfortable, but no contractions, show, NOTHING. Booo...

Dh and I went to a car seat clinic today. It was put on by a nonprofit organization that helps you install your car seat properly as they say that most car seats are installed improperly. Well, we went, and not only was our seat installed improperly, but they also found a manufacturer's defect on our seat (Britax Marathon) - a bolt on the seat was really loose, with no way to tighten it. DH and I have this kind of luck with EVERYTHING...

So, what did they do? They GAVE us a BRAND NEW seat. Not only did they give us a new one, but the seat they gave us was actually an UPGRADE fromo the seat we had - they gave us a Britax Boulevard! DH and I were floored, and honestly, I am so grateful... we never would have been able to get a new seat sorted before our due date. We feel SO fortunate!

If you have organizations like this where you're from, make an appointment! You never know what you'll learn!

 

[Aaisrie]

Wow squeeker that's awesome!!! Saraya's seat was installed by Mothercare by one of their official installer people! :]

 

[melissasbump]

Squeeker, what a great result, not heard of those clinics before.

Hann, i watched marley and me last week and truely lost the plot with grief! you are not alone!

Still getting the pains.. am trying to ignore...

 

[Aaisrie]

Hope it turns into something Mel

 

[Hann12]

Yay Mel fingers crossed that it turns into the real thing!!

Squeeker - that's amazing about the car seat! It's not often that things like that happen!

I know what you mean about the lack of babies - it's been nearly a week now! Hopefully means that this week we will all drop!

 

[mummySS]

I'm so hopeful for Tor today! And you too fifi as you are due first!

Squeeker - amazing result! I wonder if we have that kinda thing over here...

 

[emzeebob]

sorry for the tmi ladies, had bad cramps about an hr after i had the reflexology just been toilet and there is a small smearin of snotty substance with a streak of blood in it in my knickers but nothing wen i wiped, cud this be my show? there wasnt a lot at all

 

[Hann12]

Could be Emee, I had that last Tuesday but no labour however I have heard of people going into labour after having a small amount of blood streaked CM - so fingers crossed!

 

[Squeeker]

Aaisrie, we don't have that kind of service anywhere here in Canada. Liability, I guess... it used to be that the Fire Dept. would do it for you, but they quit a few years ago due to liability reasons. Funnily enough, DH is a fireman now and he certainly did NOT install it correctly! LOL! The clinic we went to was put on by SEATS Canada... I'm sure they must have organizations like it in other countries. The installers were great, we learned a LOT... but I never, ever expected them to replace our seat for us, for free. Amazing.

SO many of us are due this week, or overdue! We'll probably all go at once!

Good luck Emzeebob... sounds promising!!!
