Late July buds

[moggymay]

Its 3 degrees here and thats cold enough for me! Heating on and slippers too but feels i go from boiling to freezing - assume its hormones??? Temp for tonight is meant to be minus 4, would be so bad but we never get any snow just cold

Not heard anything about scans yet, had hoped for an early one as had MC last year but doc says all seems okay so will be in January - just have to wait - humph!!

My car said It was 2 degrees this morning. Said on the radio this morning, that theres a good chance of it snowing this afternoon...but nothing so far! Said it could snow tonight too. So we will have to see! I love the snow tho...Want loads of it!!! lol

It's probably the same temp around here too, and I don't like it! The snow is nice to look at, hasn't really been a pain to me yet since we have a garage and a guy plows our driveway!

But all I want to do every day is stay on the couch and snuggle!

How much time will you guys be taking off when the babies come?

 

[moggymay]

No time off for me have a 2 year old to look after, I took a five year break from work at the end of my maternity leave so got just under four years left...Hubby is in the RAF so will be hectic next year as a new posting is imminent, best friend just went of on tour and makes me glad that hubby did Iraq - basically means it is unlikely he will have to go to Afghan - fingers crossed anyway.

All ready for xmas here, glad we are having a quiet one at home and then travelling to see folks as no need to have excuse for not drinking, we have endured for so long the questions of when will you have another one, hard given we had MC last year, just so excited and want to tell people but darent until we have scan and know all is well with little soy bean.

Nowt much on here this afternoon, little man and I are off to the local jewellers to get his plane fixed! He got a plane at an airport display thing and the only batteries it takes are watch batteries so we have to go in every couple of months to have them replaced. Seems wierd but he loves it so all worth it.

Thanks for the welcomes ladies, great to be able to join you

Im not sure how long ill be having off to be honest! All depends on how much and for how long ill be getting paid?! As i dont think i can afford not being able to work, but then ill need someone to look after baby while im at work! So....i have no idea atm! How about you lauren?

moggymay - your only 2 days behind me, and 1 day behind lauren. We are all so close!

 

[nineena]

Don't think its THAT cold here is about 4'C in the day and down to -2 at night. I could try and go to sleep but how embarrassing would that be sat next to my F.I.L lol

 

[nineena]

Moggy i dont know how you're going to keep it to yourself over christmas, i'd be popping if i hadnt already told them lol!!!

I'm thinking of having 9 months off but my manager seems to think the average is 12 but it depends on the pay and whether we can manage to save nything before baby arrives.

So are we all from UK apart from Lauren then???
Hugs xx

 

[lil_angel]

lol that would be embarrasing!!! lol Ill have as much time as a can afford to have off, all depending on pay! No chance of snow then where you are nineena? Yeah..im from the UK!

Very rarely get snow in north west and when it does it doesnt stick. My sis lives in London and she got snowed in last yr lol

 

[moggymay]

we had our first snow with little mogster last year in January - he didnt know what to make of it, he was all togged up in snowsuit gloves wellies etc and just wanted to play in his playhouse - he wasnt fussed with the snow although he did pose next to the snowman for me lol

We had the work debate when I was pregnant first time and decided that as I would stay home if we had two then why not do it with number one? Figured if we could manage it with two then should be easy with one...Not necessarily true but for me not going back yet was the right choice and I am lucky that work allows it...Friends with little ones a similar age that went back have no regrets as they wanted to go back.

Dont think there is a right or wrong choice to make only the one that works for you and your family

 

[lauren10]

I'm going to try to take a year off! But we'll see how it goes. I would love to quit working for a while, but have some loans to pay off first. someday I hope!

 

[lauren10]

I got my ultrasound for 2:00 tomorrow!! So happy. Need answers!

How is everyone today?

 

[moggymay]

Good thanks, soooo cold here and not much going on - just the usual housework and looking after little man, he had Tumbletots today so that got rid of some extra energy which is good cos we have had sleet all afternoon so been cooped up indoors. Hubby feeling sorry for himself cos he has manflu - griping cos I didnt go out in the sleet to get him some Lemsip! Off to the local garage shop for him methinks!

How come you get an early scan Lauren?

 

[lauren10]

I don't know how people can keep up with kids AND be pregnant! you must be tired!

I think he sent me early because either my dates are wrong or I have a fibroid...he seems to think I'm further along than I thought. OR, because I'm an old hag. I'll be 35 a month before my due date!

 

[lil_angel]

OOO great news on the scan Lauren. Hope it all goes ok today

 

[moggymay]

Enjoy seeing bubs today Lauren, little man and I are off to Sunny Steps this morning, hopefully be home before the snow comes...

 

[nineena]

Morning all

Lauren hope your scan goes really well today and you see your gorgeous bub How exciting hehe

Well i saw midwife yesterday and she was lovely, im quite overweight (size 16/18) and really worried about gaining too much weight during prgnancy and she was really reassuring, didn't say it would cause any problems and didnt make me feel like a big lump of lard. She's booked me in for 11th Jan for dating scan woohoo so i really can't wait for that!!!

Was really poorly yesterday couldnt keep anything down so ended up going to bed twice in the afternoon, it was really horrible, have told midwife i'm really suffering and she wants me to keep an eye on things and they may have to intervene if i can't keep fluids down or if i start losing weight Decided to sleep in my sickness bands last night and i don't feel as ropey this morning, just hope it holds out.

Is anyone else suffering like this coz as horrible as it is to say i am not enjoying being pregnant atall so far really starting to get me down

 

[lil_angel]

Moggymay have fun this morning. Its suppose 2 snow here early afternoon....exciting! lol love the snow.

Aww..nineena, sorry your feelin so bad, ive been feeling really sick too, but i havent actually been sick yet. So i cant really help you with that. Must be horrible, i feel horrible as it is, and sometimes wish i was just sick to get it out the way. Great new on your scan.....only 4 weeks away....time will fly by!

 

[lauren10]

Thanks girls!
Nineena you poor thing. I'm sure you've tried everything already but I've read in a few places that eating protien helps a lot...if you can keep it down. maybe you could try protien shakes in the morning? xx

 

[nineena]

Well iwent for a 4hr nap this afternoon and that seems to be the only thing now that eases the nausea am just waiting for Tea to be cooked but feel really sicky coz i'm so hungry grr i cant win lol
