*March & April 2021*

[tdog]

Nobody wants to know what this final last baby is...except for me so that's what I am planning on doing. I will just end up buying neutral "bigger" items, and putting the clothes/blankets, gender items in a bin. I'm pretty sure I can keep the gender a secret just because...I'm the one that does the laundry, goes shopping, etc...

In the family, everyone wants another girl...so I'll have two girls, two boys....so I think if I find out that we are having a girl (the anticipation and excitement) may slip up; and if I have a boy, I think my DH will be a little disappointed, but he will get over it.

7+3...things are going well. I do work in the Food Industry, so I have been noticing queasiness only when we are not busy (which isn't very often). Luckily, I only work 5 hours (Tuesday-Friday), I just try to have mints with me at all times, and eat when I can.

Non pregnancy related, I found out yesterday that the middle school (in our town) had a positive Covid case. Luckily, that's the only one, that I know of...thankfully my kids weren't exposed since they are in Elementary School. Anyone else scared of this Covid?

Personally, with Covid I'm scared, but my doctor is keeping a close eye on me, with me working and the kids going to school; and the older one in sports...he wants to make sure that I'm safe...doctor texts me if I feel any sort of "sick" that I text him and he will get me in to make sure everything is okay.

Awww what a lovely doctor you have to do that yes I'm shit scared tbh my daughters school has had 2 cases I work in my sons school in the kitchen but every sniffle now I'm on edge tbh xx

Got my scan date October 13th I should be 12 weeks that day, cant wait x

I am probably an outlier in that the dumb virus itself doesn’t scare me at all, definitely not scared for the kids either, but also they’re not going to school (it’s all online) and DH can’t work because his bar is closed still and we aren’t exposed to anyone or anything. I honestly just want to get the dumb thing already. But that was before I was pregnant. Now of course I don’t just in case I’m one of the people who gets a high fever with it. I know that’s risky in the first tri especially. But my bff tested positive when she was 36 weeks pregnant, and she had zero symptoms whatsoever. Neither did her wife. That is so much more common, it seems.

I’m not worried about the virus either I know if me oh or the kids got it we’d very very likely be fine, I do worry about mil and fil though who would get really poorly with it though. Here in England when your put into local lockdown you can’t meet anyone outside your household but you can go to a pub, a restaurant (but only until 10pm) you can go clothes shopping and you can go to school and work so it appears corona virus doesn’t circulate anywhere where there’s money and a till unless it’s after 10pm then it’ll come get you! Kids can’t go to anyones houses but your expected to carry on working as normal so anyone that relies on family/friends for childcare are screwed, a lot of people are ignoring that advise and I can’t blame them. If it’s dangerous enough to stay away from your parents it’s dangerous enough to keep out of the pub imo

Im in Northern Ireland, and one of the exceptions to our current local restrictions is childcare. So my sister can still go to my parents with her son because they look after him twice a week when she works. And they’ll have my kids next week because I’ll be at work. Does England not have those exceptions? We seem to have more exceptions to the rule than not!!

 

[doggylover]

Also I’m not really that worried about Covid. My area actually has the highest number of people (number and number/100000) in NI. I’m shocked as we are so rural! But the kids school is small, and no cases there. Good bubbling, good hand hygiene, total lack of contact with people or surfaces at pick ups. I get shopping delivered so not mixing with others (20 cases in our local Tesco though). But we are all low risk if we do get it, no underlying conditions that would potentially cause hassle. Of course that’s no guarantee we would be ok I know. I would be almost convinced we had it back in March. Both myself and husband very unwell and bad coughs, and the littlest one had a roaring temp for days. But back then they were only testing those in hospitals etc so we don’t know for sure.

Had my elective ultrasound. She didn’t cooperate lol. Hiding behind her placenta pillow (it was anterior at this time with DD1 too, but still felt her first kicks at 17 weeks) and sleeping the whole time. I’m torn between thinking she’ll be chill and the opposite of DD1 or that she’s exactly like her and difficult lol. Good thing I know the gender because they didn’t get a potty shot only the nub....which isn’t the labia lol. But I already know gender so it was just for DD1 to see her sister

Not that I’m aware of, someone I know got an email from their school stating that no grandparents were allowed to drop off or pick up children as of yesterday so probably not

Lovely photos Kayla!! We had an awkward little lady yesterday too and after jumping up and down didn’t get her to move I had to go for a 20 minute walk which resulted in her curling up into a ball, you can see her foot on her forehead

What?! That’s insanity!! Presumably childcare like nurseries and childminders still can? So what difference? Total madness!!! I am actually flying to Newcastle this week for a funeral. (I’m right in saying you’re in the NE?)

@KylasBaby how did DD1 enjoy the ultrasound?

Yeah I’m like 20 minutes away from Newcastle. Its crazy isn’t it! My school haven’t mentioned anything yet but they’re always a bit slow with updates so I’m expecting it coming this week. It’s going to leave so many people struggling, not all employers are understanding with this sort of stuff and not everyone can afford to pay childcare for however long this lasts

We are 40 mins away from Newcastle we in teesside and haven't been told we have restrictions as yet we ain't on the list, waiting for it tho as alot around her are still dumb my mate looks after my baby while I'm at work if she can't I'd be screwed can't pay child care as I don't earn as much as child care costs xx

Haha discrimination via phone. Lol it’s all good.

@doggylover she did! She was quiet while we were there, but she’s super shy in new places/situations. But once we got to the car she was jumping around and super excited! She keeps taking the pics and hugging them saying “Hug the baby!”
