[topazicatzbet]

thanks hun.

finally done my birth story. sorry its a long one.

 

[samzi]

ooh *goes to read*

 

[flowertot]

Love the pics Beth. have just read your birth story too. sounded tough but your mum and sis sound amazing.

Well i've been stuck in the house all day today because of 6 inches of snow. Hope i don't go into labour because i would need to take dd to my mum's then get to the hospital and it would take forever.

 

[meemee]

aw beth he's so cute, looks really alert aswell!
makes me really want mine to make an appearance

went to the midwife yesterday and she was finding bubys heartbeat quite high up and was worried that it had turned breech which is possible because bubys not engaged yet so had to go off for an emergency scan (i had never had a scan before so i was quite nervous)
but it turns out it was all ok! im so relieved, and just seeing our babys little face made it seem so much more real so not quite sure what happened with the hb.... just happy that i might not have to have a c section!

Morning ladies

Beth - Callum is so gorgeous

Flowertot - hopefully labour holds off until some of this snow thaws a bit

Meemee - glad baby is upside down

Zara currently asleep and has been since her 5.45am feed so since 1am she has been up for only one feed and is flat out. I'm wondering if I have time to make some porridge and eat it before she wakes

 

[Blondie]

Oooh and I think I am getting my first since giving birth so that gives me about 12/13 days to ovulation - time for me and DH to start work on baby number 2 Must order some ovulation and pregnancy tests

 

[samzi]

you serious or joking?

morning btw!

 

[Blondie]

Oh I'm serious Samzi We want two as close together as possible. Me and my little sister are only 11 months difference in age and we love being so close together and I really want that for Zara aswell. Plus it will mean I can just go straight onto my second lot of maternity leave before going back to work so I can get another year off with Zara

Hoping my little sister gets pregnant soon aswell so we can both be pregnant together - it's been a couple of months since her miscarriage now so hopefully she will be pregnant again soon. I have a feeling we will both get pregnant at the same time as we tend to have freaky co-incidences happen like that in our lives

Morning all,

Beth, Callum is so cute, I just want to eat him up.

Meemee and Flower, can't wait for you two to bring some more naughty babies into the world, who will be first???

Samzi, Not long for you now either, scary shit.

Blondie, I'm presuming your joking on the next baby front, I think your body could do with the rest and needs to put on some weight before you put it through pregnancy again, but it would be good to get the another baby out the way quickly.

Caitlen, glad things are good with Harper.

Mum2be, how's things going for you?

Hugs to anyone I've missed

all I can say is bloody snow!!!! I'm stuck at home in snowy Leicester after getting up at 5.30am to take my other half to the train station, he's got a new job in London, NIGHTMARE!!! luckily we've bought him a car as he had a company one with his old job so I'm hoping he get's to pick it up this weekend as I'm already feb up with getting up so early in the freezing cold to take him to the train station.

On the baby front, everything seems fine, still feeling and seeing the movements but he/she doesn't seems to move at the same times of the day so like this morning he/she hasn't moved yet but will probably be going mad this afternoon (saying that I've just felt him/her, bless) I can't believe I'm 25 weeks pregnant it's starting to fly by especially as I know I won't be going full term, baby could be here in as little as 13 weeks.

 

[topazicatzbet]

blimey your brave blondie.

 

[samzi]

wow you are very brave blondie

 

[caitlenc]

Whoah Blondie, I admire you! I am so afraid of getting pregnant again anytime soon...I'd like 2-3 years between ours...I think we'll start trying Summer of 2011...fingers crossed for you, though!

Pipkin, those movements are so wonderful, I miss feeling Harps in my belly! Don't miss the pregnancy aches and pains, though.

We haven't been having snow here, but it is frigidly cold out.

Things with Harper are going well....she had her shots on Monday, it was awful, she screamed her head off! She was fine right aftrewards, though, once I stuck a bottle in her mouth! She is getting so grown up, smiling and cooing all the time...last night when Chris got home from work and she saw him, she broke into the most beautiful smile!! It actually brought tears to my eyes (and his) to see her recognize him and respond to him so well!

Hope all is well with all my naughties... to you all!

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

aww, glad everything is going well for everyone
Blondie, I have to agree,u were really beginning to struggle by the end, just make sure ur body is up for the next haul
AFM ok, slipped yesterday in the snow, no spotting or anything, just a few odd cramps, which I think are just streching as I haven't had much of these this time (I guess I will be still quite streched from Archie though), see the MW tomorrow so will see what she says. I also seem to be loosing weight quite quickly again, I put on a uniform for work that I hadn't worn for a few weeks and the difference in filling it was silly... no wonder am knackered and cranky

 

[flowertot]

Blondie - i would have liked a smaller gap between dd and this one but because of miscarriage and chem pregnancies its not worked out that way. there will be 2 years 4 months between them. there is only 11 months between my neice and nephew and they get on really well, like best friends. good luck to you, hope it works out how you want.

Cait - glad everything is going well with Harper. she sounds like such a joy.

Mum2be - hope you are feeling better after your fall. let us know how you get on a your midwife appointment.

i'm just passing time tonight by logging my BH on Contraction Master, just for fun but think i will do the same when i'm actually in labour rather than just the stopwatch on my phone. I've had 5 in the last hour from 7 mins apart to 29 mins apart. oh well hopefully the real ones will come soon.

 

[Freyasmum]

Plus it will mean I can just go straight onto my second lot of maternity leave before going back to work so I can get another year off with Zara

You're lucky! You're not allowed to do that here - you have to be back at work at least 6 months in between bouts of mat leave.
And we only get 14 weeks paid, and it's paid at an absolute pittance...

I'm sure you've thought thru all the pros and cons with regards to your health, and talked to your doc about it. Good luck! I hope things work out the way you want.

Seems like everyone is doing pretty well at the mo. Wonder how Meemee's getting on.

I have just realised that if they do my section at 38 weeks (as mw said) I've got less than 90 days left to go!! Best we go buy some baby stuff!! Hopefully OH will get a new job soon, and then we'll be able to start shopping.
I'm doing OK. Stinky is busy breakdancing or something, keeping me awake at nights. I love it.
I think I have a UTI. Was in quite a lot of pain with it on Tuesday. My mw dropped round a prescription though and I'm feeling a lot better now.

 

[topazicatzbet]

morning girls.
boy am i feeling rough this morning. i ve been full of cold all week and the coughing is really getting to me now, cant take anything for it cos of bf and my tummy muscles are killing me now, plus whenever i cough or sneeze it hurts my wound. on top of the lack of sleep im done in.

callum is doing great though, although im worried he is gonna get my cold. he is feeding well and his jaundice is almost gone now. just wish he wouls settle better on night. i got 2 hrs propper sleep last night and the rest was dozing with him on my chest.

 

[caitlenc]

Aw, Beth, hope you feel better, hun. Glad to hear Callum is doing so well! xx

Flower, hope those contractions come on soon!

Mum2be, be careful walking out there! I'm sure you're fine, the cramps at that stage are pretty normal. Make sure you try to keep eating! xx

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

MW went well, wasn't concerned about weight loss (it won't do me any harm to loose a few pounds at this point), just to eat what I can for the time being, went through the paper work, tried her best to keep me looking positive, she did say that once I get to the stage of hearing the HB on a doppler she will see me as often as I need for reassurance until I get movement, although that won't be until at least 14 weeks and it the reassurance I need between now and then. I guess cos the scan had roughly dated me she didn't try palpating (although I did make sure my bladder was full just in case ). She wasn't concerned about me slipping either, but I have to send a urine sample to rule out any infections as a cause/threat to miscarrying again. So semi-useful I guess, back again in 2 weeks for the blood screening...

 

[topazicatzbet]

that sounds positive mum2be, sounds like you have a supportive mw there.
