Knocked Up Naughties

[caitlenc]

Hi Ladies!

I feel like I am never on here anymore! I can't believe how close most of our ladies are to giving birth...another crop of naughty babies on the way!

Flower, how are those BH's getting along? Sorry to hear about your accidents, that must've been really scary!

Mum2be, hope you're feeling better, glad they diagnosed your UTI early...

Samzi, can't believe how close you're getting!

RaeRae, glad Jac is doing so well hun.

Blondie, how is it going?

Tori, sounds like Orry is sucking you dry! You are a good and patient mom, girlie.

Beth, how is little Callum doing? Sounds like expressing is the way to go for you...

Meemee, any news??

to all I have missed!

Now for my update...

Harper was 10 weeks old on Sunday. We had her baptized, and it went very well, she was a superstar! She didn't make a peep during the entire service, we were very proud.

She is smiling and giggling lots now, which is just wonderful. At her last appointment a week ago she weighed 11 pounds 2 ounces, and is in the 50th percentile for height and weight...not bad for coming along 3 weeks early! Getting her jabs was traumatic, but she recovered quickly. I have never seen her cry like that, though...it broke my heart!

She goes down to sleep pretty easily at night, usually around 8 o'clock. She's been waking for a feed around 2, and then around 6. I am hoping the 2 am feed will be dropped soon.

We are getting ready to fly over to the UK this Friday to see my in-laws in Cheltenham. I am nervous about traveling with her, but it is an overnight flight, so hopefully she'll sleep for most of it. We will be there for a week, and I am so looking forward to introducing her to them. She is the first grandchild, so they are very excited!

Anyway, hope all is well with my girlies! to you all!

Hi Ladies!

Mum2be, hope you're feeling better, glad they diagnosed your UTI early...

it was self diagnosed, I think it may have looked quite comical when I pitched up at the Drs on my way home from a night shift with my urine samples in one hand and ward based test results in the other!!

Glad the christening went well and hope u have a good trip over

 

[flowertot]

I just hope it hasn't done any harm already...

How are the BH's going flowertot?

I'm still getting them just not as many as last night. i didn't think i would get to 40 weeks but looks like i might now. i just hope it all starts naturally.

hope you are feeling better soon.

 

[samzi]

not too far from where i am cait have fun. hope the weather improves a bit!

 

[topazicatzbet]

good to hear from you cait, so glad the baptisum went well, are there any pics???

im planning on having a naming ceromony in the summer for callum followed by a bbq.

think callum is going through a growth spurt as he seams to want to feed every 2 hrs at the mo and is taking a fair bit. hope i can keep up with him or i might have to top him up with formula.

well im planning on going home tom, so will be going it alone. help!


flowertot, im sure you ll start soon with those bh, i cant see you going much over.

mum2be, glad you cought the uti early, im sure all will be ok. get yourself some cranberry juice.

to everyone else
cant wait for more naughty babies

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

u seem to have got into the swing of things Beth, am sure u will be fine
Naming ceremony sounds good Beth, it is my 30th in November on a Saturday, as all our friends and family live some distance away I was thinking of combining the 2 events...
DH said about cranberry juice, but I was led to beieve it is only good for preventing uti's... can't stand the stuff, but I guess the chances of me getting another are pretty high atm so will have to get some once I am not quite so picky/limited on what I take in...

 

[RaeRae]

raerae i cant beleive its 3 months already, does the sleep get any better? I'm the same as you with regards to starting lo on solids but mines people nagging me to give him a bottle to take away the lack of sleep, but as far as i'm concerned if i'm happy with it why are they so bothered? stick to your guns hun

We have good days and bad days. Saturday night he was very restless and it was awful but I think that could be because of his jabs. Sunday night he slept from 11pm to 5.30 am so it was lovely!

I'm just getting over a UTI too. The cranberry juice is so sweet, it's disgusting! It is definitely worth it though - I was in SO much pain the first day, then started antibiotics and cranberry and felt better so quickly.
I have found cranberry extract supplements though, which are much easier. It says on the jar to take one a day as a preventative, or two for treatment - worth a crack!
You are so lucky you caught it early on. Honestly, the day I noticed mine I had a sore lower back in the morning, then one time where my pee was burning so bad... then it just started hurting when I was walking, then every time I moved! OH had to come and pick me up from work.

Hmmm. Maybe I should have posted this in your journal? I'll whack it in there as well to make sure you don't miss it.

well the going home has been put on hold. you need ice skates to get out my mum and dads vilage today. they have shut off all the main rds cos the busses are crashing. no way am i risking driving with callum in the car. will try tom if not fri is supposed to be warmer.

had to cancel the hv appointment tom so they are gonna ring on mon to try and arrange to come.
mw made it today though, bless her and has discharged us. callum is weighing 7lb 9oz now.


sorry to hear your not well too freyasmum. glad your on the mend now though

 

[pipkintyler]

Hello to all,

Mum2be and Freyasmum, I know what you mean about UTI's, I've been drinking cranberry juice like crazy as they thought I might have one, but I was tested 2 weeks ago and they haven't come back to me, mine didn't hurt too bad though, poor you too.

Beth, Hope you can get home soon.

Flower and Meemee, hope those naughtie babies make an appearence soon.

Caitlen, Blondie, Raerae an Tori, anymore pictures of your little one's yet? Would love to see some more.

Samzi and msmith, not long now.

As for me, I'm fine getting really fed up with the snow now though as fed up with having to walk so slowly incase I slip or anything. Well I have under 100 day's to go now and I remember not so long ago I was getting excited as I had under 200 day's to go so this is all getting very frightning now, potentially I could be having my baby in 12 weeks time as I could be going in for my C section then, how weird!!!

Me too!!! It's starting to get a bit real, isn't it?
... and I still have not bought a single thing!

 

[samzi]

Im still taking antibiotics for mine, just got 2 left so by tomorrow il have finished them. They have worked a ruddy treat, its so good being able to go to the loo without it hurting anymore!

 

[flowertot]

Mum2be and Freyasmum - hope you both get better soon. i've managed to escape having any uti's, but now i've said that will probably get one tomorrow!

pipkin and freya's mum - this is the point were time really started to fly by for me. feel like i've only just entered third tri.

Samzi - glad your uti has cleared up and you feel better.

nothing much happening with me. still having the BH but i've been quite busy and stressed so that could be the reason i'm getting so many. my car insurance claim is starting to stress me out already. i'm getting constant phone call from insurance company, solicitors, hire car company etc and spent 2 hours last night hunched over filling in forms for various different people. my back is so twingy too. don't need this at the moment i just want to relax.

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

freyasmum, I have been at work today, and my back don't half acheit was that busy that I ended up downing a jug of juice in one goat lunch time after there I hae been tryng to get some juice for about 3 hours hoping that tomorrow ill be a bit better but am starting on the juice jugs at 7.30 in handover

It s not much better here Beth,ur much better of staying put

That's a pain with the insurance Flowertot, hope it gets sorted quickly

hope ur feeling better to Samzi

Pip

 

[meemee]

Hi all!
Sorry to hear about so many UTI's going around! when i had mine i didn't take antibiotics i only took the natural cranberry pills which work so well! within a day or so i didn't notice any pain, was great!
Haven't heard from blondie in a while, hope she's going okay
Heres hoping the weather clears up for all in the northern hemisphere!

and I'm still very much pregnant! im very lucky i haven't got an overly massive bump or id be really sick of this im going to go for a walk through the botanical gardens with OH today (it's very hilly) and hope that gets something moving

 

[flowertot]

good luck with your walk tomorrow meemee, hope its gets things started.

 

[samzi]

i have really bad heartburn and its doing my head in. i feel awful

 

[msmith]

Hi All,
I am 36 weeks today and have been feeling pretty good about things, even though I am shattered after a few uncomfortable and broken nights sleep. Well, I went to see the midwife today and she wants me to go and see the hospital consultant as I am measuring only 35 weeks. She is unsure if it is because I am tall or because baby has dropped or because baby is not growing as expected. I am trying not to worry, but as much as you try and think positive thoughts there is always that niggling feeling. The heartbeat was fine and everything else seems ok so I really need to try not to worry. Roll on Wed for the hospital appointment. Has anyone else experienced this?
Hope you are all ok and coping with those UTIs.
Catch up soon

 

[topazicatzbet]

i think your midwife is being dramatic hun, they normally allow 3 cm either way before starting to worry.

i was 4 cm smaller by 40 weeks and callum was 7lb 4oz so a healthy weight.


here are a few more pics of callum
