Knocked Up Naughties

[caitlenc]

I never had leaking breasts either, Blondie. Would love to see a new bump pic, girlie!!

Beth, enjoy your party!

Tori, good luck with your sweep! Hope it gets things moving!

Samzi, soiunds like your body is gearing up for motherhood, sweetie. How exciting!

Hiya, Pipkin, how're you feeling hun?

to all of my other girlies!

Well, Harper is doing very well. She went to the doctor yesterday, and has grown an inch and weighs 7lbs 12oz! We were thrilled, it seems we are doing something right (even though we really don't know what we're doing!)

That said, we had a bit of a rough go of it last night...Harps was up several times, but wouldn't really eat much. Then she woke up just before 4 this morning, and didn't want to eat or settle down...I finally woke Chris at 5:30 and gave him the baby, burst into tears, and ran outside to have a cigarette! (Bad, BAD Mommy!!) I am sooo tired i feel like a zombie, and am wondering if I will ever get a full nights sleep again! It is amazing to me that my hubby can sleep through the mayhem, and I feel liike the slightest sound gets me out of bed. Luckily, Chris is fantastic about me waking him and helping me out...he feels very guilty that he is able to sleep when I can't.

Anyway, she is finally asleep, so I'm off to enjoy a cup of coffee! Tori and Blondie, enjoy your last few days of peace and quiet!

 

[samzi]

glad to hear that harper is doing well cait

 

[topazicatzbet]

what are you doing drinking coffee, if she is asleep you should get your head down and get some sleep too.

(says the girl who will prob be cleaning litter trays while Lo sleeps)

 

[caitlenc]

Haha, you're right, Beth. Off to catch some zzzz's now!

 

[tori_cottier]

Thanks ladies,

Well all went well, I really don't like internals at all after DD induction but this was painless, I'm 2cm dilated, Cervics are soft but not effaced but thats normal for 2nd pregancies as you dilate first and efface after that. She could feel George's head which i cried at

She hopes not to see me in my next appointment and i can only say this is the nicest possible way but i hope to too either

Beth how did the shower go hun?

Blondie: you wont be left behind hun i'm sure i'll still be here this time next week. no pains as of yet so you never know! When is you sweep hun?

 

[topazicatzbet]

hey ladies, well i ve had a fab time at my bump party, was so great. they had got a cake made for me from one of our work collegues who couldnt come today, it was so cute, will post a pic tom.

got some really nice gifts as well, he is one spoilt little boy.

glad the sweep wasnt too bad tori, 2 cm yay.

Beth - glad you had a lovely party.

Cait - glad Harper is growing well i'm sure the sleepless nights won't last forever.

Tori - hope things start moving for you now you've had the sweep.

Blondie - hope things start moving for you too soon.

Samzi - leaking boobs. . . one thing i never had with dd and not so far this time either. i wish i did though because i worried that i wasn't going to produce milk.

hi to everybody else.

i've got a MW appointment tomorrow and i think i may have a urine infection. i keep getting shooting pains down there and need to pee every 5 mins although when i go nothing comes out. my heart has also been racing too even when i'm not doing anything so i've got a couple of things to mention.

 

[Blondie]

Well still here and still waiting.....

Oh well - got coffee booked with various people for next week and a nice meal booked for this evening so plenty to keep me occupied

 

[msmith]

Hello Ladies,
Once again I have not been on for a while but it is great to catch up on all your news when I get the chance.
Great to see Harper doing so well Caitlenc. I'm sure you are seeing changes every day.
Blondie and Tori- roll on those labour pains. Hope you aren't waiting too long.
Samzi-can't believe we are in the last 12 weeks! It has gone quick.
Flowertot-Hope the infection clears up quickly.
Beth- to Mat leave. Hope you are enjoying your nights for sleeping instead of working.
to all I have missed.

All good here. Midwife appointment yesterday. BP fine, measuring spot on and got HIP grant form so that will be going towards the buggy.

Good to be back.
See you all soon.

 

[samzi]

hey hun

i know what you mean - its flown by!!!!

 

[topazicatzbet]

sleeping ha ha, i ve been up more times through the night now i ve finished than i was while i was working, for toilet breaks, cramp, and callum kicking me.

well here is a pic of my bump party cake.

 

[msmith]

How is the new house?
I read you had a bit of a scare recently. Has that all died down now?

 

[msmith]

What a fab cake. Did it taste as good as it looked?

 

[topazicatzbet]

yes it was lovely, one of my work collegues makes them, lots of jam and cream inside, yum.

 

[samzi]

How is the new house?

new house is great been in it 3 weeks sunday. flown by!!!

yeah all is fine with baby she was just being a little madam

 

[caitlenc]

Hi MsSmith, good to have you back, we missed you!!

Beth, that cake is just gorgeous!!! Glad the party went well!

Well, today SHOULD have been my last day of work before mat leave, which is just bizarre! I can't believe I haven't even reached my due date yet, and little Harper is almost 3 weeks old! Roll on labor for Blondie and Tori! Hopefully you guys are feeling good and keeping busy...remember, at most you only have 2 weeks to go! Hang in there, ladies...

We had a better night last night, thank God. Harps was unsettled until about midnight, when I put her in her swing and we both finally fell asleep. Then she woke at 3:30 and 6:30 for feeds, but went right back down in her bassinette, which was good. Now I'm waiting for her to wake up again so I can give her a bath! She really is the cutest lil' thing!

 

[flowertot]

Love the cake beth.

Hi msmith , glad things are going well for you.

Caitlen - When can we see more pics?

MW appointment went well today. i've not got an infection she said the shooting pains and constant need to pee are just LO pushing down. she said racing heart is normal too but she said to keep an eye on it and go the see the doctor if it gets bad (when i had dd it was picked up that i have an irregular heartbeat but when i mentioned it she didn't seemworried ). i'm measuring just over 31cm so thats fine too and LO heartrate was just right. i forgot to mention my blood test results though and when i checked my notes its says my red blood count is 10.2 (that was at 28 weeks) this was done when i was already on iron tablets. i think 12 is normal but i'm not exactly sure. does anybody else know??

 

[Freyasmum]

Hey msmith! Good to see you!!
Beth, what an amazing cake! Your work colleague is very talented.
Blondie and Tori - what gives? You guys working on some kind of eviction plan? They say curry and sex can help...
Caitlen - how incredible that wee Harper is so nearly 3 weeks old already!

Good news there's no infection there flower, but I guess at least if it was an infection you could fix it! Guess you'll just have to put up with that constant need to pee!!

Hi to everyone else.

I'm doing OK. Nothing much to report, really. Had some pretty bad cramping at work the other day, but I think that was because I rather foolishly let the stress get me for a while. Got everything back into perspective and haven't had a twinge since.
I still sometimes find it hard to believe there's a baby in there. There'd better be, otherwise there's no excuse for the ridiculous belly I'm developing!! I kind of knew the second one would 'pop' sooner, but this is just silly.

 

[topazicatzbet]

flower, womens blood counts do tend to be arround 12, so 10 is not that low and as your on iron already thats prob why they havent done much.

well i ve just had a really crappy night, couldnt breath (im asthmatic too) several toilet trips and the most horrendous heartburn all night, i ve been drinking milk since 4am as the gaviscone hasnt touched it.

im so tired its caused my tmj syndrome to flare up (problem with my jaw that causes it to click and get really bad head aches with it) i havent has it all the way through the pregnancy think the hormones help to relax the joints.

and then depending on which side i vwas laying i kept getting pins and needles in my arms. :dohh

so feeling very sorry for myself today, and i have a few things planned today so i cant just chill out all day.

i have loved being pregnant so far but i think im gonna start getting fed up pretty soon and joining tori and blondie in operation eviction, roll on 5 th dec when the puppies go then its long walks, pineapple and reflexology.

ok moan over, sorry

 

[Blondie]

Beth - that cake is gorgeous , give it a couple more weeks until baby drops a bit and that heartburn will vanish - I had hellish heartburn but since about 37 weeks I've been so much better

Well had a lovely meal out with DH last night so glad we made the most of these opportunities Still no sign of any baby though - I can't stand the thought of sex or curries at the moment so will just have to keep up with bouncing on birthing balls and if all else fails refuse to buy baby an advent calendar if it arrives after Dec 1st

I can't believe tomorrow is our due date - back in March last year it seemed like mission impossible to get this far and now it's nearly here and I still don't think I'm ready for it
