June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[AngelofTroy]

Well it's 4 30am here and I've been awake with an on and off hysterical child since 130. I could cry I'm so frustrated and tired. He is never going to a public play place again, ever! I'm going to just secluded him in a bubble.

I feel you, my son is also poorly. It sucks! Let's build a bubble!

 

[SecondNote]

I am so far behind on posts because I was on vacation over the Thanksgiving weekend. I still am catching up. Hope everyone is doing well!

Today is finally my scan day. I am so excited (and nervous)! I have to work a full 8 hours before my appointment though. It's going to go so slow. Ugh.

 

[vaniilla]

I'm sorry your lo is ill gaia, I hope he gets well soon DS had a bad cold last week and had to come in our bed and then developed an ear infection, it's definitely the time time of the year for bugs!

Angel - I hope your ds gets well soon too.


I slept terribly last night, I woke up feeling sick and with stomach cramps, hopefully it doesn't happen again tonight!

SecondNote - Good luck for your scan today!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Oh gaia being up all night is torture. Will you be able to get a nap in today?

10 weeks today only two more weeks till our 12 week scan. Hopefully it will go fairly fast since its my 30th and Xander's 4th birthdays between now and then. I can't wait to start feeling movement and feel more confident that squidge is ok in there

 

[MiraclesHappn]

Joey my daughter does the same thing! Typically she will tell me there is a baby sister in mommy's tummy and baby brother in her tummy. She always says the ultrasound pictures are pictures of her baby brother but one day she was picking one picture to be the baby in her tummy and one to be the baby in daddy's tummy I can't wait til there is big movements she can feel, I think this will make it more real to her. We also got our tree up last night and let DD decorate it with some help from her younger cousins. I love the way it looks!

As for me I'm STILL battling this stupid cold! I swear it is just getting worse with time. It's beyond frustrating. I wish it would just leave already because I had been feeling better before it.

 

[vaniilla]

MiraclesHappn - that's so funny that she was picking pictures to decide who's tummy baby is in sorry to hear your cold is still lingering, make sure you're drinking as much fluids as you can and resting up.

I can't wait to get the house decorated! we're picking the tree up this Saturday and putting the decorations up.

 

[joo]

We have a sick house at the moment too. I've had this cold for nearly 2 weeks now. DD was ill on Friday, vomiting (1st time in her life!) She Isn't herself bless her. Incidentally my milk went a few weeks ago, she is still dry nursing but this is the first time she has been properly sick so I'm feeling sad her immune system is taking the hit.

I feel for all you ladies struggling with being poorly or with poorly little ones. Let's hope it's all out of the way in time for Christmas xx

i'm so sorry that's terrible. My dd knows there are two play places actually she can't go to because they don't clean everything properly so she gets sick every. single. time. so she stopped asking to play there. i got so sick of her being sick and then me getting sick, we just avoid those places like the plague!

good luck with your scan hun!

oh yuck poor kid. dd has only ever vomited once in her life too. scary isn't it?! she woke up choking on vomit in the middle of the night. ugh. luckily she doesn't seem to be one for vomiting, more of a diarrhea kid. if she gets stomach viruses at all. i'm sure that'll change once she's in school yuck.




afm- 11 weeks now, constipation is as bad as ever i really hate it. spending the next two days cleaning like crazy- dd and i leave for vacation on wednesday to florida, so if i'm not around a lot that's where i am. Will try to keep up but will be hard from the cellphone. i'll be back dec 9th.

my anxiety for flying is going nuts, which is NOT helping anything because between that and the constipation? omg.

 

[GeralynB]

We're going to Florida the end of February for 2 weeks. Have fun on your trip Mommyofone. What part of the US are you from?

 

[vaniilla]

mommyxofxone - have you got something similar to fybogel (active ingredient ispaghula husk) in the US? it's natural fiber which really helps and is safe in pregnancy.

We're flying to Barcelona for 3 nights on valentines day next year but it's only a 2 hour flight, is your flight long and is there anyone you can talk to for your flight anxiety?

 

[Squig34]

Gaia, sorry to hear your son is sick but cute & funny about naming baby & not being impressed as yet with a circle

Angel, those are some creative names from Micah!

Enjoy your trip Mummy!

Starlight, I think that gas from either end is a very normal feature of all trimesters of pregnancy.

Joey, I'm booking into the Royal too. I'm sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience last time; I couldn't fault the care I've had & actually it's my first choice (way back at the start of my pregnancy journey, I wanted to go to the midwife led unit at the Ulster, but that's not even an option anymore). The midwife who delivered our son couldn't have been more compassionate but I suppose it can be luck sometimes as to who you get, they're probably not all quite so lovely!

 

[gaiagirl]

DH got him settled and asleep and then DS and I slept until 9am. Poor DH had to get up at 7 and go to work. I work this afternoon but I'll manage. It's frustrating he seems to be a kid who just picks EVERYTHING up.

Excited to hear about upcoming scans you ladies have. Our next one won't be until February probably? Maybe end of Jan...around 18-20 weeks.

Next midwife appt is one week today though!

Vanilla we are putting our tree up this weekend too, really looking forward to it.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Ooh I think we're putting our tree up on sunday. We've got the santa train on saturday and then dh is taking us out for a surprise. Sunday we're taking Xander to a Disney Princess christmas party but that's in the evening so we'll probably put up the tree sunday afternoon (I hope!) I love christmas so much

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Been reading. But not posting, feeling a bit nervous maybe a bit detached? Not sure what the word is. My mc happened around 10/11 weeks so I'm a bit on edge atm and as I haven't had a scan I have no reasurrance that everything is okay in there. Finally see the midwife on Friday. Then who knows how long for a scan eh. Trying to keep my mind on other things =) like Christmas!! Wahayy. My tree is going up Saturday night in time for nikolaus arriving on Sunday

 

[joo]

Oh rhi I have been feeling a bit like that over the last few days too. After feeling so positive for a bit I'm now imagining turning up to my scan (whenever that will be) and them telling me there's no hb. I keep thinking I should try my Doppler out as I found DD at almost 11 weeks, but can't bring myself to dig it out, I guess in case I can't find a hb then worry myself sick over it! Do you think your midwife will try and find the hb on Friday? I think I might ask mine on Thursday (if I'm feeling brave), but they never checked hb with DD.

Putting decorations up at the weekend, we have just finished painting and wallpaper so excited for Christmas in our new living room.

Starlight, I'm burping loads too with DD I bumped loads in 2nd tri and it turned into awful heartburn towards 3rd tri until birth. It's all started earlier this time. I find the burping eases off a bit after I have drank milk (if you can stomach it).

Mommy of one, my DD usually gets diarrhoea instead of vomiting too. Although at the moment she is refusing to poop and managed to hold it in the whole time she has been ill. I have been extremely lucky she is rarely I'll though xx

 

[tinkerbelle93]

How far are people going to be travelling to their hospital?

I really don't want to go the hospital we used last time which is our closest one and around a 20 minute drive. The 2 other nearest hospitals are 40 minute drives though.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Ours is probably a 5 minute drive. The next closest is 40 mins away but it's through manchester city centre so depending on the time of day could be hours.

Rhi. I'm struggling with imagining an actual baby in there too. Hopefully your scan won't be too far away.

 

[SecondNote]

My announcement

 

[Squig34]

Hope your scan goes well SecondNote; cute announcement

Our hospital is 10 minutes away although more in rush hour.

I've just had some bleeding. It came out of nowhere; I haven't even had any spotting this pregnancy. I'm not sure yet that it's cause for panic; it's kinda watery pinky blood & I've no pain so not really the scenario in which they tell you to go to hospital & I don't fancy sitting in A & E for four hours cos they don't consider me a priority. Just keeping an eye on it for now. It could be the blood thinners I'm on I suppose.

 

[Dory85]

Waiting for news SecondNote

Our hospital is 15-20 minutes without traffic. Ideally I would prefer to go to the MLU but that's in Newcastle City Centre so rush hour would be ridiculous and even with my son I wouldn't have got there in time.
