Late July buds

[nineena]

What you girls up to? xx

 

[lauren10]

Hi there! I've been nesting too...cleaning and organizing...getting the nursery set up!!

So only two weeks now until Chris deploys...I've been having mental breakdowns every night this week. So much for being strong for him! I just have to take it one thing at a time...only 3 months away then he'll be home and we'll be having our baby!! positive thoughts!!

How are you all getting along?

 

[nineena]

Happy bank holiday monday ladies. Hope we've all had a lovely Easter weekend. We spent ours at the inlaws which was a tad boring but nice to get a change of scenery but if another old lady had told me i looked ready to give birth i think i'd have poked her grrr.

Lauren i cant begin to imagine how you must be feeling knowing hubby's going away again in a few weeks, i really do think you're such a strong woman dealing with it all. Have you got anything special planned in the next 2 weeks? hugs xxx

 

[lauren10]

Hi Girls!
Easter weekend was great for me, the weather was so nice and we went to my in-laws and spent a lot of time outside. It's like Disney World for my dog Peter, so he had a great time too. I love to see that because he's in kidney failure and we don't know how long he has, although it doesn't seem to be slowing him down yet!

We don't have any big plans before he goes away, but we'll have a date night sunday and I'm taking Monday off to spend the day together. Then he deploys Thursday. He has to go into work Tues and Weds anyway so I might as well be here at work.

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[lauren10]

Hi Girls, anyone still out there?!

How is everyone feeling? Things are cruising along here...feeling lots of hard kicks!

Chris leaves tomorrow.....ARG!

Hope everyone is well.

Hiya girls, wow we have been quiet havent we. I'm sorry ive just not really been going online recently other than to check my emails. Pregnancy going really well here, seems to be getting bigger every day and im gutted coz ive gained 5lbs in the last 3 weeks which just seems sooo much but i know its all bubs coz im not gaining weight anywhere but my tummy lol.

Oooo and im going docs tomoz coz i think im developing SPD, keep getting stuck in bed or on the settee or the floor and hubby has to roll me over, its not very dignified lol. Have been getting nursery ready too and pic up cot bed on Saturday so really cant wait for that How are you coping with hubby gone Lauren? I really do think you're amazingly strong. Glad bubs is being so active, our little 1 is going crazy today for some reason, its cute but very distracting when im trying to do a mental health assessment lol

Well im going to stop twittering and just give hugs xxxx

 

[lauren10]

good morning!

I'm getting spd-like symptoms too...it's so uncomfortable...it feels like everything is coming apart! i find that sitting for a while then standing is the worst. I'll have to mention it to doc on Thursday but I'm sure it's just one of those things you have to deal with?

I'm doing pretty well with Chris being away, thanks! I have my days but for the most part, I've only cried once and he's been away for over a week, so I think that's pretty good! I bought a sewing machine and was a busy bee making stuff this weekend. I'm only on quilts now, but I'm on to baby clothes next!

Hope everyone is feeling well! Into 3rd trimester we go!!
xx

 

[nineena]

Evening girls wow Lauren look at you being all amternal sewing, im very impressed!!! We put the cotbed up at weekend and it was so funny coz it took hubby almost 8hrs to build it hehe but room looks fab now Oh and you would have laughed at me yesterday, i got stuck trying to get in the bath, my leg just wouldnt lift up i was in that much pain and since then ive been in agony and now walk like a penguin so spoke to midwife today and they do think ive got SPD so im being referred for physio really hope it doesnt last for the next 12 weeks coz its so debilitating at work and everyone keeps telling me how pained and tired i look which just does your self esteem wonders grr.

Ooo on a different note i think bubs might have turned around coz ive been getting loads of kicks under my ribs and in my groin as opposed to sides of my tummy and you can now see my tummy jumping when she kicks so Ste's a happy bunny coz now he feels part of it all.

Have you got any of nursery ready yet Lauren and are you starting to get nervous coz im starting to get really anxious about birth now it seems so close arghhhh

 

[moggymay]

Wow your ticker moved to a curled up baby Nin!

How are you ladies? any pics of the things you have sewn Lauren? How is Peter doing?

Sorry if have been quiet, busy busy here, nursery all ready, clothes in wardrobe and drawers and toys ready to go, just need Moglet out!

 

[lauren10]

yes, here's the quilt for the nursery!
And Nineena, yes, I'm soooo excited too. It can't come soon enough...especially since that means Chris will be home too.

Moggy when you said Peter did you mean Chris? Or had I mentioned my dog Peter to you before?! lol Either way...both are doing well

 

[moggymay]

Dog! Sure you said he was poorly and had been out with you enjoying the smells etc outdoors?

That quilt is lovely your little lady will be thrilled

You will have to post pics of the clothes you make too.

Not long now ladies! Last time around it was 9 weeks til Mogster was here.

Three months time and we will be holding our little ones and your hubby will be home Lauren

 

[lauren10]

oh, haha...! I couldn't remember if I mentioned Peter and I thought that was a weird coincidence!! It's funny you brought him up today because I just found out a couple hours ago that his bloodwork showed him to be getting worse...but he's still acting fine, so I'm trying to stay postive and just go with it. He loves getting outside with the nice weather coming in...I just want to see him happy He HAS to last through the summer and fall...I can't handle losing him while Chris is away

I know really...13 weeks or so...that's nothing! I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait!!!

 

[moggymay]

PMA and doggie hugs to Peter woof woof

 

[nineena]

Evening girls. Lauren that quilt is beautiful, would you like to make me one too lol. Aww poor puppy i hope he gets better soon and is able to run around outside. What's wrong with him Lauren?

Moggy so lovely to see you about and youve been a busy bee getting all organised like that

Its weird now seeing my ticker with only 2 more boxes to go, it doesnt seem real!!

Oooo a bit random but has anyone else been getting like a buzzing feeling anywhere on their abdomen? Its like a really light buzzy/vibrating feeling

 

[lauren10]

hmm...no buzzing here..not yet anyway. I know we're so close now...babies will be here before we know it!

Peter has had malformed kidneys since he was a pup, and now his kidneys are failing...I guess we're lucky to have had him this long!

 

[nineena]

Aww Lauren poor puppy sounds like he keeps his spirits up though.

Did we all have a lovely bank holiday weekend? I went to nephews 5th birthday which was entertaining coz hes at that age where all presents are junk and he just opened them and threw them haha good job we dont take offense easily!!! Then we went to burnham on sea til Monday which was lovely and relaxing, still in a lot of pain though and had to phone in sick today coz im just so achy and it hurts to walk. Got physio on Monday so im really looking forward to that. Saw midwife today and been told i book in for my antenatal classes next week and they start in June Bubs still measuring bang on for due date was was lying head down today.

Have you both moved over to 3rd tri now? hugs xxx

 

[moggymay]

Moved over thanks, hows things?

Had MW today and measuring 29 weeks! Might be a July baby like I have been saying after all....hope so!

 

[lauren10]

nineena I hope the PT helps you. What's bank holiday? hmmm...i don't get that one!

Yup I moved over to 3rd tri. That's good Moggy! The date my docs are giving me is Aug 2nd or Aug 4th depending on who you talk to, but I'm having the baby in July thank you very much!!

 

[nineena]

oooo dont you get bank holiday's Lauren? Theyre like public holidays where the banks don't work, like your independence day but we have 8 a yr i think, like christmas and new yr.

Yay for 3rd tri, bet you both have your bubs before me though lol. My friend's measuring 2 weeks ahead too moggy, theyre sending her for a glucose test tomoz to rule that out as a cause and then keeping an eye on her and she'll prob have to go for growth scans if she continues to measure ahead, funny thing is though my bump seems more prominent than hers and i'm measuring bang on my dates so effectively 3 weeks behind her from actual bump measurement lol.

OMG just looked at my ticker and it says 79 days left, that just seems too soon. Sorry if this is TMI but has anyone starting leaking yet? Im beginning to think perhaps mine are broken coz aside from being tender to the touch theres nowt much going on there, they dont even seem to have grown (not that im complaining about that coz theyre big enough).
Oh and i think bubs is deffo already a daddy's girl, when i put my hand on my tummy she never kicks, if my mum or friends put their hands on tummy she never kickcs but within 30 secs of hubby putting his hand on she ALWAYS kicks even to the point he tried to see if he could listen to heartbeat through tummy by resting his head on my tummy and she started kicking his ear. How does she know its him just from the touch, i think its amazing. Probably a massive coincidence but its EVERY time lol

 

[nineena]

Afternoon girls, well ive had my glucose tolerance test today, eww that glucose stuff is really disgusting. Im sure it looked radioactive it was such an odd colour lol and why do they have to have ridiculously uncomfortable chairs for you to shuffle around in for 2hrs. Am glad i took a book with me and very glad its over. Am pretty certain it'll come back negative coz my fasting bloods were bang on for normal ranges but i know they have to take precautions when you've got a high BMI, although my friend does think its incredibly disgusting that larger ladies are made to have the test without a choice lol.

Well its my last day off today, might sound lazy but think i'm going to go for an afternoon nap in a little while coz i had another really crummy night's sleep....keep waking at least 4 times a night now for the loo. And hubby is at college til 9pm tonight so there's not much for me to do. Am going round to friends for tea tomorrow which i'm looking forward to and was meant to be going to casino on Sat for a friends bday but im at work til 9pm and then in again 8am on the Sun and well we spent a lot more than anticipated on our weekend away and so gotta tighten our belts this month.
Not sure if ill get online again before the weekend is out so i wish you both a lovely time whatever youre doing hugs xxx
