Oh Ruth your tesco story had me laughing out loud! My Josh is the same, runs away at any opportunity! I've got a harness but agree a double pushchair is something we'll have to invest in too- which one did you get? Also, which sling did you get seeing as it was so good? I've been looking at cot2tot and moby, I have a bad back history so thought they seemed the most supportive.
So glad all is looking good Jen
We've had more snow and it's settled but it's not deep or particularly disruptive. Hope everyone stays safe xxx

Good news Jen!!!
Bec I have bought a Mama's and Papa's Kato Twin. It's just a pushchair really rather than a proper pram but I'm thinking it will be useful for popping to the shops etc when it's just me and the boys at home. Will use the proper pram when there is someone there to walk with Frankie. I had an Ergo sling when Frankie was little and used a Mei Tai when he was a little bigger xx

Hey how are we all doing? Can't believe this is happening next month.
I finished work yesterday which is lovely as I was exhausted. I have lots of lovely things planed over the next few weeks but mostly I am going to take it easy.
Still need to paint the Nursery which my dad is going to do in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to get it sorted and everything in place.

Oh lucky you Jen!! I finish in two weeks (only 6 working days!) but it can't come quickly enough!! Had a maternity photo shoot done a couple of weeks ago and a 4d scan last week, here's a couple of the pics.
Cannot believe next month will be the last of our pregnancies!! It seems to have gone quite quickly, but I bet these last few weeks drag!!! xx

Ah, I see. I sometimes wish I had a proper job where I could take AL instead of being told when my holidays are. Then I remember that I have the best job in the world in terms of holidays!! Hope you manage to get your feet up, Jen x
Hi ladies, such lovely photos Ruth, you have no stretch marks you lucky thing! I've not got any from this pregnancy yet but have leftovers from having Josh! Beautiful pics anyway, I had a maternity shoot myself yesterday but just on my own as my DH wasn't interested in being in them- he wasn't last time either 
oh well, hoping to get a nice pic from it.
Nice that you're finished now Jen, I remember really struggling working till 37 weeks but then I was so bored once I was actually on leave! This time I'm going to miss being able to lie down and rest most of the day.
My little Josh has been poorly with a cold which I had too but unfortunately he's now got an ear infection (his first one) and it's been horrible for him. Also meant a lot of sleepless nights which has been hard. He's on antibiotics now and definitely getting better. We're trying to do his first bedroom and had the furniture delivered today but it has been totally stressful as so far the bedside table and wardrobe are both faulty and next are not releasing anymore at the moment because there is a quality issue with the range. Very frustrating and it has got me totally stressed. Wanted to have josh in his new bedroom in the next 2/3 weeks and have been really enjoying buying everything for it and designing it all- it's a jungle theme and is so fun but now we don't know what's happening with the furniture. Have to wait to hear from the supplier at some point this week. DH has ordered us Pizza Hut to help us de-stress- wouldn't be so bad if we hadn't just had a curry last night! Nights like this I could do with a glass of wine!
Hope all is ok with everyone, you know we're getting close now the antenatal checks are every 2 weeks. It's so exciting, I've got 5 weeks 6 days but I think he might come a little earlier- we'll see. Was relieved to have the confirmation that he has turned head down at my 34 week appointment on Thursday. Everything else is good. I'm not feeling too bad generally just tired and easily out of breath. Sleeping is not as good, quite a bit of tossing and turning with painful hips but other than that it's ok. How is everyone else getting on? Hope you're all good, it's getting so close now, can't believe I'm going to have two under two!
Better go, pizza will be here soon! xxx

Hi Ladies 
Jen - jealous you're on ML/AL already
Ruth - Those pictures look great, can't believe you've got no stretchies
Bec - Sorry to hear Josh isn't well
AsForMe - We've been really busy lately, we move house on Thursday
It's a much better, slightly bigger and more of a family home So most of our time is spent at work, then as soon as we get home we've been moving stuff into the new house's garage - the landlady has let us have the garage key to help us a little.
As for baby, she's still low but I doubt that's gonna change now
Scary to think that this is our last but one month of pregnancy 
Doesn't seem two minutes ago since our first scans!

Not long to go now and I'm getting quite impatient waiting.
The Nursery is almost ready now just waiting for my mum to bring over the cot this week and we are done.
OH and I went for a tour of the Maternity ward at the hospital on Sunday, he was quite excited by it me on the other hand was completely freaked out by it.
They have a new birthing pool which I would like to use but knowing my luck someone else will be in it when I need it.

Hi Jen and ladies, no early appearance here yet thank goodness, I still have so much to do! Josh's room is coming together though, we just need to secure the furniture to the wall, put the wall stickers up and put his toys and belongings in there which I've started already. Will be finished this weekend then he can move in he loves it already which is good, he runs around roaring like a lion and making monkey noises- bless him! (it's a monkey/jungle theme). I'll post pics once it's done.
I have packed new baby's hospital bag but have yet to finish mine. Going to get all the baby equipment out and clean it all at the weekend, have washed all the Moses basket sheets, blankets and all his newborn clothes etc. I have bought the boys a teddy each from each other, got all birthday/anniversary cards till May so I don't have extra things to worry about. Got a few more nursing tops and nightie but am still yet to sort a double pushchair. I'm going to see a second hand one at the weekend and have a couple in mind- have done my research at least. Main problem is it fitting through the front door as I want a side by side double.
I'm wanting everything ready ASAP as I have a feeling he'll be a bit early. Going to get DH to get my birthing ball out and clean it for me. I'm still not sleeping well and have started having occasional period type pains too. How are you all feeling?
Sorry, such a rambler! Hope you're all good, it's so close for us all now

Hey ladies. My little rascal has decided in the last few days that 38 weeks gestation is a great time to flip into a breach position. Naughty boy. I'm booked in for an ECV on Monday which offers a50% chance of turning him. If it fails I will be booked in for a section. I feel really sad at the thought of labour and birth bring taken away from me and the feeling of achievement and pride i had last time but as DH keeps reminding me, as long as I come home with a healthy and happy baby it really doesn't matter how gee makes his way out. I'll keep you posted.
Hope everyone else is feeling well. I'm getting feed up too Jen. But still haven't quite got everything easy yet so him coming early isn't really an option in our house! X

Hi ladies, sorry to hear baby has gone breach Ruth, really hope they are successful at turning him and you can have the birth you want. If not then your DH is right, the main thing is baby arrives safely and you are both ok. Fingers crossed for you.
I was 2/5 engaged at my last appointment last Thursday but he's definitely dropped further now as I've had the classic 'lightning' symptoms since yesterday. I've been losing plug all week and have had loads of period type pains so I'm convinced I won't make it another week. Struggling so much now with my monkey DS as he has so much energy and is so cheeky. DH is working overtime tomorrow too which I could really do without, he wanted to work Sunday but with it being mother's day I've put my foot down.
I'm having really bad nights with Josh in his new room/bed and he keeps running into our room in the middle of the night then won't settle unless I stay with him in his room till he's asleep- nightmare have managed to have some naps in the day when he's gone down but he is out of routine with the move so some days he's not gone down till 3/4pm then down at night at 8/9pm. DH and I haven't eaten dinner together all week as we've had to take it in turns to eat and settle him. Hopefully it'll all settle down soon, it's too much at the moment.
Looking forward to meeting my little man though and am looking forward to labour to a) have a break from my exhausting monkey and b) actually spend some time with DH!! Madness!
Keep us updated everyone, I wonder who'll be 1st

Sounds promising Bec, loosing bits of plug and the pains. I bet you're first and we will all be jealous. I was having the lightning feelings too about a week and a half ago. Shame our boy has thought differently. Xx
Well Ruth it seems you were right, I am very excited to tell you all that I went into labour early yesterday evening and had my little man at 12.07am today- 13/3/13 (39+4). It progressed very quickly, it was just less than 7 hours from start to finish and only 6 minutes for the second stage! I had a water birth with gas and air and it was incredible- such a positive labour experience
We came home less than 2 hours later, have managed a couple of hours sleep since being home but looking forward to more tonight. I didn't tear or even have a graze and we're getting well established with breast feeding.
We named him Jake Samuel and he weighed a whopping 8lb 11oz. He has his hearing test back at the hospital tomorrow which I'm hoping goes well. He is so tiny and gorgeous and looks so much like his big bro
So how are you all? Any signs? X x x
