Knocked Up Naughties

[Blondie]

Sleep? Is something I get in one hour snatches throughout the day - spent most of the night lying awake listening to the rain and wondering whether I needed to get up and go to the loo again or not - poor DH looked knackered this morning when he got up to go to work as everytime I get up to go to loo it wakes him up - I think I might have to move into the spare room or the nursery until baby arrives at this rate as no point DH and I both being zombies

Decided I am off to metro centre today to buy some nursing bras as they are the last thing on my list to buy and now bump has dropped a bit they should at least be able to get a proper chest measurement. Hopefully all the activity will get baby moving a bit

ohhh i miss the metro centre have they still got that fun fair inside of it, I have meadow hall so not to bad. No sign of LO yet then blondie?

Sleeping is a issue now but i think i'm getting use to it DH does look like he needs a good night sleep, as if i'm not peeing, i need Gaviscon (anyone else notice you don't need it when you get up to go to the loo but flipping 20 min later,) if not gaviscon then it's trying to turn and after the 20th grunting i have to get up as i'm wide awake, can you tell i just want the little man out now.

I'm going to do some baking today as i have to make my christmas pudding and cake 2 month in advance so i'm a little behind.

Well I survived metro centre and got my nursing bras - 36F

The funfair has closed down now Tori

I was very amused to told off in M&S toilets though - a perfectly fit middle aged woman turned around and said to me "girls of today have no manners" to which I replied "I'm sorry?" and she said you could have held the door - my response

"I'm sorry love but I am actually a 33 year old woman who is heavily pregnant and about to give birth anytime now, my feet are aching, I'm exhausted and I've been walking around with a babies head pressing down on my bladder for the last 20 minutes and I am desperate to get to the loo so I'm sorry if my normal manners have escaped me momentarily you miserable old bag"

and then I walked off - but got a round of applause from an old man sat down in some seating nearby

Go Blondie, get her told

well one night down, two to go, and a total of 5 1/2 shifts to go

my living room is currently a mad house, the puppies are running around like nutters and making a right racket.

 

[flowertot]

good for you Blondie! and wow 36F!! the best i can hope for will probably be C/D that is of course until the milk supply comes in a few days after birth!!

Beth - hope those few shifts go fast for you. bet you can't wait although i'm sure you will still be kept on you toes with puppies. hope you get a little bit of time to relax.

topazicatzbet and flowertot how are you two doing?

 

[flowertot]

aww Harper is sooo lovely Caitlen i'm excitedf to read your birth story.

Hi Tori i'm fine thanks just having loads of braxton hicks. i've had them all day today. was close to calling labour ward because i was getting more than 4 an hour but they have settled now have also been peeing every 10 minutes!! hope you have a decent sleep tonight hun.

Not long now Beth. you can do it

 

[topazicatzbet]

im not doing too bad for sleep on a night at the mo, have had to get up several times during ths day t pee though, my kidneys dont realise im on nights. lol.

well my ticker is spot on again, my ankles seam to have swollen loads this week. my socks are digging in now.

no brackton hicks for me yet, but callum has been doing break dancing in there i think.

 

[tori_cottier]

Morning ladies

Well as you can tell by the lack of posts during the night i had a full nights sleep, (which is a first in 6 weeks) only had to get up twice for the loo bu tno mad dash for Gaviscon, i've moved onto Gaviscon double action and i may even write tham a thank you email. that and i put some Clary sage oil on my pillow and i think this helped to knock me out completly,

So i'm all bright and breezy now whooo hooo

We're off to see the bonfire tonight which DD will love as we haven't told her just incase something happens and we can't go so it will be a lovely surprise

Touch wood flowertot i havn't had to much of the BH and hope i don't get them to be honest, fingers crossed yours will settle down a little more!

Beth when do you go on Mat leave hun?

 

[topazicatzbet]

i finish a week on wed, but only have 3 1/2 shift left now, not bvack in til next fri.

 

[tori_cottier]

Gosh what will you do with your days on mat leave hun? i don't suppose your cats and dogs understand mat leave do they,

well i'm sat here waiting for my MW to turn up i really wish she had given me a time as i would like to have my afternoon now. (so strange how you get use to them isn't it)

 

[topazicatzbet]

well im hoping to decorate the hallway and stairs with the help of my mum.

you know i dont go for the easy life.

well my ankles havent gone down any, guess i need to get used to them for the next few weeks.

i ve just been out and bought 2 pairs of pjs for the hospital. so think i might be able to finish packing my hospital bag soon.
