Knocked Up Naughties

[Blondie]

but i can express milk from her today so sometime soon.

is that going to be how u're going to predict ur immenent arrival??? (sorry lame joke )

will that not work for us then???? lol. will have to disinfect the breast pump first.

You guys have got me nearly wetting myself here - got very dodgy visions of Beth and the dog sharing a breast pump now - just make sure the right baby gets the right milk - I'd suggest labelling the bottles VERY carefully

am glad u said that Blondie, as I was trying to figure out a witty comeback!! I have to admit the thought did make me cringe and then chuckle!!!

Hello everyone. I can't believe how close it all is now but it still seems so far away!

I don't think I updated on here last week so this is what's going on.

I had a scan last week at 34 + 1 and baby was measuring 42 weeks. I'm massive and there's a part of my belly that is really sore but feels numb if I touch it but other than that I'm just getting your average pregnancy aches and stuff so I can't complain.

When I went to clinic last week they freaked me out a bit. I'd been having a lot of hypo's (low blood sugar coz of diabetes) which can indicate problems with the placenta. I had absolutely no idea it could be a problem coz I have them when I'm not pregnant and it just happens. They wanted me to go on a tracer to check the baby was ok even though I said I'm getting loads of movements and stuff. They finally gave me a number to contact someone if I'm worried. I haven't known who I'm supposed to contact until now because I'm under consultant led care so I haven't seen a midwife since I was 7 weeks. I'm on the 'swift scheme' because of the diabetes which is good coz if I am worried they'll get me in straight away.

They won't give me a date for the section. They're still hoping to do it when I'm 38 weeks but it might have to be reviewed if there are concerns (like the low blood sugars). I've got clinic again tomorrow because they need to keep an eye on me and his growth because he's just huge. It seems to be dragging on forever at the moment but I'm scared of him coming early incase he's not ready.

Hope everyone is ok xxx

he is gonna be a big one rae rae, have they said how much he weighs now?
id start laying it on think and they might do you at 37 weeks, im sure he will be well cooked by then.

look at anelle, she was born early and is doing just fine.

well spoke to the fire company and they are gonna replace the fire, but i have to remove it from the surround and then fit the new one, that should be fun at 7 months pregnant.
its only gaurenteed til jan then so bet it breaks again in feb and i ll have to buy a new bloody fire.

 

[Blondie]

I am no longer part of the workforce

My last day at work is over and I've left with some lovely flowers and a few bits and pieces for the baby

Now I can put my feet up and just "enjoy" being pregnant

Tomorrow I will get out the camera and have a photo session as it's been almost 4 weeks since the last bump photo and there is most definitely a "bump" now

 

[samzi]

excellent!!!

12 weeks to go till i finish work. bring it on!

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

Yay for finishing work Blondie!!

Raerae, I wouldn't worry too much, they are probably being over cautious with the 19 pounder that was born last week,

Glad the fire is getting sorted, although if it is a new fire surely the manyfacturer should still cover it for a while... seems a bit strange???

 

[caitlenc]

Oooh, Blondie, so jealous you're off work!! Get lots of rest, bump buddy, I know you need it! Looking forward to new bump pics!

Freyasmum, I agree that at 37 weeks he'll probably be pretty well done...hopefully the next few weeks fly by, and you'll be bringing home our 2nd naughty baby before we know it!

Beth, I have broken a chair during my pregnancy as well, it's a bit mortifying, although the owner of said chair insisted it was on its way out anyway! Can't wait to see pics of the puppies!

I definitely think the seahorse has grown, my bump actually hurt yesterday while it was shifting around in there. Can't imagine getting any bigger, but I'm told we still have alot of growing to do!

 

[topazicatzbet]

yay for mat leave blondie.

now you can take it easy and eat lots of cake!

looking forward to seeing the bump pic.

 

[tori_cottier]

Yay blondie!! now all you have do now is chill and wait for the LO to arrive!

caitlenc who told you we still have growing to do, i really don't want to grow anymore as i will pop, 8 weeks to go bring it on

Rea Rea: I plan on doing everthing to get little one out from 35 weeks as they say it's safe to as they are fully "cooked" in there so don't worr hun, God not long now hun and we'll have our 2nd Naughty baby YAY

Beth: so glad you dog having pups as you didn't know on the last up date can we have a weekly picture and journal up date like with did with the kittens?

Well as Caitlenc and blondie have already pointed out we are only 8 weeks away from the big day but as said i will be hitting the raspberry leaf tea/curries/long walks and possibly sex (yes ladies i'm willing to try the big BDing for the first time in what would be 8 and half months to get this LO out although i have not consulted DH about this yet but i'm sure he will agree lol) from 35 weeks i really don't think George will be late this time don't know why just a gut feelign thats all,

MIL is here and to be honest it's not to bad she is helping a lot witht he washing and everything while me DH and DD do the reast of the house. we have finshed DD room and she loves it with all the high school musical things altho i'm sure FAME will be a big hit with her when she see's it and i will have to change it all again.

George's room is beig painted now by me and it's a killer but i will not admit defeat as it needs doing and DH is finishing the kitchen and new room so feel guilty asking him. Altho he does keep telling me off for doing to much

Roll on to the 9th when i go on mat leave and all will be well then!!

xx
