[membas#1]

evening ladies...haven't been able to get on here for a few days so had some major catching up to do! sounds like we have a few babies coming next week! SO exciting! can't wait to start hearing about people's birth stories and little babies!

i can't remember all I read but just thinking of all of you and wishing everyone a smooth rest of pregnancy...those on bedrest and those dealing with BP, GD and others as well. Well just to everyone!

Special to Shell and Sammy--hope LOs kidney will be just fine.

I've had a very busy few days and just want a decent night's sleep tonight--here's hoping...i'll be drinking some peace blend tea tonight before bed as that seems to help at least from 11-4/5am...better than nothing! Trying to stay awake til I have to pick DH up at 9pm from his class....could sleep now.

sleeping is definitely a challenge now, I find my mind racing all the time and cant get to sleep until about 3am and then back up around 7-8 with DS. We just moved in our new house in August and there is so much stuff to sort though. I just want to dump it all...lol Hope you get a great nice sleep tonight

i keep waking up around 3 or 4 to pee and then my mind starts racing about what i need to do at work--i'm prepping for being gone and having someone take my place and it's a bit stressful cuz i don't want to forget anything, so i wake up a lot at night and start thinking "don't forget to do this or show this to so and so..." etc...i need pen and paper by bedside so i can write it down and go back to sleep instead of reminding myself for 2 hours while trying to go back to sleep!

 

[membas#1]

Sammy--your bump is so dang cute...i just love your avatar

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

man only this last week since lo dropped i have been waking up at 5 or 6 am to pee....this am I almost pee'd myself...seriously need to change sides with DH or move the bed so my side isnt against the wall....its hard enough to get up or wiggle down the bed to get out...lol I think I gave DH a heart attack this am he was in a daze then I said you better get up quick or I'm going to wet the bed...lol

when does your mat. leave start? I bet you looking forward to some down time.

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

awww thanks hun....I love it too, but man I wish it came with straps to take it off and put it on when I want....lol

 

[membas#1]

my side of bed is currently by wall as well so i have to shimmy down the bed to get out, it's a chore sometimes!

i dont' have a start date for maternity leave...going to work til i just can't or dont' want to anymore. i'm hoping to get through 2 more solid weeks at work full time and then try to balance some work at home time wtih my time in the office (still maintaining full time hours but hoping for 10 hours from home 30 from work or something like that). then after that we'll see--i'll be 38 weeks at that point....i'm due at a time when i don't have as much to do at work so the week before i'm due and the week i'm due i may work part time...unless my body tells me otherwise or if she comes early i have to walk or bike to work and home each day (3/4 mile one way) as they charge a ton to park at work (college campus), so i guess if i get to a point where that's too much on top of my work day then i'll drop back...dont' want to use a bunch of vacation time before she arrives but also dont' want to work myself sick either....would love a week before she arrives off work, so we'll see.

Yeah you sound like one active lady...try to enjoy some you time before baby arrives...sounds like your doing great though.

Sammy hope the urologist will be able to tell you what is going on and hopefully give good reassuring news.

Membas I have no clue how you manage to walk to work - there is no ways I could manage it now and I can't remember a couple weeks back either You must be pretty fit. We moved our bed against the wall so I could lie with my back against the wall in second trimester and now I need to get DH to move it back - I have stolen his side so I don't have to wake him every time I get out the bed now.

Last night I really wondered if this baby was coming - had very painful contractions in the night and they just never seemed to stop. I was at a point of waking DH at 02:30am but then decided to leave it and while I am pretty sore this morning the contractions have stopped so I don't know what is going on. Anyway, last appointment today so hopefully can get an idea of what is happening. Obviously there has been minimal sleep - also moved to DDs bed last night when she decided to invade ours.

well it takes me a heck of a lot longer to walk that 3/4 mile walk to work than it used to! but i'm determined to keep after it as i hope it will help with L&D if i keep moving....i work at a university campus so i've got to walk across campus a couple times a day--i definitely get a lot of walking in...but I'm accustomed to it I guess...it's just getting harder and harder. I am not the most fit person--but I do pretty good. Definitely starting to feel very UNFIT these days--feel like weight is coming on fast right now and I want to eat a lot of sweets, i have a sweet every day now it seems...a cookie, a chocolate, something! i did manage to ride my bike to work twice this week and am glad i can still get on and off the thing--it's getting hard to get my leg over that bar tho! I have a guy's bike with a bar across the top.

so i was playing with light and my camera (my computer camera) and took these photos tonight i like the red light (it was the glow from the TV making it red).

tanikit are you getting induced? Almost done

 

[S_a_m_m_y]

lovely bump Membas


Well just wanted to say good night to the ones still on...130 is early for me...lol but I think this last week of nesting until 3-4am every morning has done me in. talk to you ladies later today

 

[Shell'sAngels]

it was 5.9 two weeks ago, 4.8 last week, and today 5.5

but the scan lady erased some of the results today and it showed 6.4 after. she had already seen it said 5.5 before that so they have to redo it tomorrow. i guess there is no way to bring the results back up after they are erased.

there is so little fluid in there with him every time he moves its literally painful. sometimes he kicks his feet out on one side of me and his butt out on the other and my tummy looks so ridiculous. like a little alien trying to bust out. i have never had so much pain from a baby moving before. even his squirms hurt.

sounds like you are just like me hunni! i have bits poking out either end its soo painful it feels like he is ripping my skin!!
I hope we do go in on the same day how cool!... funny he said weds to me at first but i said no can we do friday cuse i wanted to wait cuse that day the kids are off school they break up for half term so soooo much easier to get someone to watch them!

Wow seems to have been a busy night on here last night.

Those bumps are looking fab, must do mine as well.

Well I've come down with the sickness bug the childminder had so not feeling great today, managed to get some sleep but did think bubs was on his way out last night, but it must have just been spasms from the sickness bug. Still being sick now and trying to keep some fluids down (without much luck) and just hoping that things settle down soon.

 

[Nixilix]

Term today! Hope the sickness bug goes v soon

I just don't know what to do with myself!

Anyone having a baby yet?!!

 

[Tanikit]

MumtoJ sorry you are sick - hope you feel better soon.

Nix yay for full term!

Membas those are great photos!

Melissa (blessed) I didn't know low fluid caused all those pains - I have also been in agony from baby's movements but wondered if it was just cause she is so big. They illbe checking today anyway.

Went out today to a Moms and Tots group but I have been so sore and uncomfortable and still contracting but not very regularly. Still I am sick of being inside so it was good to get out with people. DD has been very moody today and seems to be a bit anxious - not sure if its me she's picking up on or the whole house but she's quite sensitive. My appointment is at 16:0 so not too long to go now.

 

[2nd time]

[Nixilix]
