March 2010 Mummies!!

[hivechild]

Hi March mummies, I might be almost the last march mummy to have my scan (due 31st march), so sorry if you're sick of seeing these posts!. Anyway it was yesterday and all went well, baby is fine and I'm on team yellow.

I had to go back to the hospital to get re-scanned for my pics because the printer didn't work in the morning. Here is a couple of my faves

Glad to hear that it all went well and the pics look great! It must have been a pleasant bonus to get to go back for a 2nd scan to get your pictures.

Yeah it really restores my faith in the goodness of people. I left in the morning not knowing if I'd even get the pics, then he rang me at work a few hours later and said to just come back in and get some later. My boss let me leave early, then I got there, he popped me straight on the table and printed me 11 different pictures and I was on the bus 10 minutes later. What a star.

Congrats greenlady! Always lovely to hear that scans went well and score with getting all the pics as well!

I am also team yellow!

Hivechild, I have never made fudge but all yours sound delicious! I tend to make various cookies and bars....finally found some packed brown sugar today in the English shop here in Basel as the don't sell it in the Swiss supermarkets, thankfully my OH is going to San Fran next week so I am sending him with a list of baking stuff I can't find here as well as some baby stuff!

Hi everyone! I am due March 6, 2010. (same birthday as me) It is a little girl! We are naming her Jordyn Elise. I already have a one year old little boy named Aiden Taylor. I am 21 and my husband is currently deployed to Iraq. Just looking to make some friends. Military life tends to get lonely.

greenlady, it sounds like you got a great sonographer. You hear so many complaints about jobs poorly done that it's nice to hear about the ones well done.

Heh, I have a friend in Belgium (originally from the US) who was lamenting that she couldn't even find chocolate chips to make proper chocolate chip cookies. I sent her a 'care package' for Christmas one year of baking supplies!

jm61504, hello and welcome!

Woot, finally home from work. I had planned on working up until baby is born, at the earliest go on leave a month before he is born since I won't be going back to the same job once he is here. Honestly, I don't know how much more I can take. I like my job, I enjoy working with people, I enjoy customer service work, and I enjoy educating customers and helping them solve their problems. I do NOT, however, enjoy all the politics of my job, and I don't enjoy being chronically understaffed, so that 4 people are expected to do the work of 8-12.

I just feel like the stress is hurting me and I know it isn't healthy for a pregnancy, plus my feet are starting to swell, I'm on my feet for 8 hours a day, and management won't let me take short breaks to sit down other than my two regular 15 minute breaks and my lunch each night. I really don't want a lot, just a couple minutes to sit down, catch my breath, cool off (its HOT in my building) and rest my feet. Why the hell do they absolutely refuse to be understanding? Sorry, ladies, I just had to rant. I'm feeling bad today and work just made it worse.

Hi everyone, sorry for slacking abit, have had a mental few days, feel free to read my journal for a bit more info!

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend, will catch up on Tuesday, its our 1st wedding anniversary tommorow xx

 

[hivechild]

Congratulations on your anniversary, bigbloomerz! I hope you have a wonderful time.

blondenklutzi, I admire you for persevering for as long as you have already under those conditions. I'd be having tantrums with HR if they weren't letting me sit and catch my breath for a couple minutes when I needed it. I hope you start feeling better now that you're home and can relax.

Hey ladies, it was my first wedding anniversary yesterday and today I have my development scan... I'm on team blue! Exciting exciting!!! xxx

 

[Lottie'sMum]

Hi all, hope bumps doing well. Just to update you....we are on team PINK. Our Daughter is thrilled, as are we. Only 16 weeks to go, to meet Willow Rose.

 

[mummydee]

welcome to the newbies and happy anniversary Amy! xx

 

[bigbloomerz]

Thanks Dee, Finally back on here after a few days off, got loads to catch up on! Hope all you lovely March Mummies are well xx

 

[julchen_79]

Hey Ladies...it is been pretty quiet around here...Hope everyone is doing well!

Seems like this is the part of pregnancy where time is really flying...we are getting much closer to the homestrech

 

[Emskins]

Hi julchen, I agree on both counts! Time really is flying! Although I wish I could go on Mat leave sooner, can't stand my job!

My sister and I finally got together on Skype last night, I was able to show her and my mum my bump and all the baby stuff we have got so far. The internet really is so great for staying connected, i was really please to be able to show them all my bits and pieces! My sis and I then did a christmas decoration show and tell! Hilarious!

Anyway, hope everyone is feeling well! I have ben having troubles with my sciatica the last few days...

Sorta random post-sorry!

 

[julchen_79]

Hi Emskins, good to hear from you.

I am far away from my family as well, they are all in Germany while I live in Canada (just got my permanent residence approved this week...wooohoo!), so I am constantly online, chatting, sending pictures etc. The show and tell idea sounds hilarious!

Wish I could go on mat leave right now too! I have not had anything real to do for the last few months and it does not look like that will change soon...so I am sitting here all day earning a paycheck with mostly doing nothing (which is hard work as paradox as it may sound). Oh well...but we need the money, just built a house and we'll be moving in 10 days!

Hope everyone else is well too !

 

[Emskins]

Hey Julchen, I am the opposite to you my family is in Canada (BC) while I am here in Switzerland!

My work is sometimes very quiet and then like right now I am overworked! Both of which I don't like, wish it was just a constant even flow...

Good luck with the move!

 

[Seity]

I'm in NY and my family is in CA, so I love Skype. So, nice to be able to video chat for certain things vs email.

Ladies, has anyone felt movement slowing down? I've noticed over the last week or so he has really stopped moving as much. I was feeling really hard kicks and nudges, and now the movements are more fluttery. Maybe he is running out of room to move around, but I didn't think that happened until later in pregnancy? Just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing this.

Hey hun Ive had less movement but bigger kicks when she has moved. They are getting into more of a sleep routine at this stage, at least 12 hours a day, so maybe your baby is wriggly when you are asleep and you dont notice it?
I dont get the flutters anymore, just whopping big kicks at the top of my cervix lol xx
