May 2011 buddies...UPDATE!!

[MrsPerrier]

Hello everyone- I'm due a May Blossom too and would love a bump buddy!!

I'm due the 23rd with my 2nd pregnancy (1st we lost at 8 weeks, bless our little angel) and are both very excited but think I would be more so if i didn't feel so rotten!

Joining the weight gain debate I have only put on 3Ibs which i've been told is not a lot but then everyone varies. If anyone else has been suffereing with high BP, bad back, severe nausea, complete STRESS at work and complete lethargy please let me know so i don't like such a complete wimp!

My boss just thinks i'm being a complete slacker because hers was "such a breeze" that it's driving me mad.... GRRR

Hi Mrs Perrier!

You're not a wimp - I've thrown up this morning too! My BP is going down instead of up - 100/54 on Friday which is low even by my standards, very bizarre! Work's been ok although I have just been sorting out my maternity leave. Last day is April 21st, eeeeeek! Then back but on leave from 7th November and officially doing some work on 17th Nov. Scaryness!

 

[MrsPerrier]

Thanks Flugella,

I still have to sort my maternity out but its been a bit mad. I work in a school and as the students are very hard work, with all my problems it has been too much. GP recommended reduced hours and wrote a note, work were not co-operative so have now been signed off and think it's just all getting to me a bit. Sure it will all work out in the end.

Sorry to hear you were sick. My sickness has eased somewhat but until about 8 weeks ago it was awful- day and night, barely ate anything and lost lots of weight but its got a lot better. Couldn't even work with mine which meant more time off. They hate me at the mo!
lol

I go on maternity a week after you, and it is scary to think how close it all is really. This time next year we'll have an 8 month old baby!! AAARGH

I've been lucky - only had 3-4 days off with sickness but it's ben pretty much every day which is not fun!

 

[AfterAbigail]

Morning sickness is not fun and for me its been morniing noon and night sickness - which is thanfully starting to ease off - only this past week or so and I am nearly 20 weeks! I have found eating a little and often better than square meals as if my blood sugar dips I will be sick. I also have the sea sickness wrist bands good -
Hope you're all well. When are you due?

4 months and 10 days until baby is here. Not that I'm counting or anything ha x

 

[KateyCakes]

Hello Ladies!!!!! I'm so excited, it's my V Day today!
OH has told me to forget the stress that's happening at the minute + just enjoy today.
Can't believe we've made it this far!!

Hope you're all okay xx

 

[flugella]

Oooooh happy V day Katey and of course the beautiful Cadence! Another milestone!

Ugh back pain. Middle back is really ouch, possibly due to 4 hours of teaching dance yesterday. Think I need to get some lower heels, body is telling me I'm getting too big for 2.5in Latin sandals! Hardly slept last night and can't get comfy today so most fed up.

How is everyone else today?

 

[Cupcake_Queen]

Yay!!! It's Lloydybubs V-Day today!! xxx

 

[flugella]

Wooooo! Happy V-Day!!!

I have to go to my GP to see the midwife, think it depends on how the service is set up in your area. I've seen one of them three times and the other just the once - fingers crossed the original one is back for my 31 week check as my 28 week check is at hospital due to being allergic to latex. Apparently I have to see a consultant although heaven only knows why - I know how I react to it and all they have to do is keep the place latex free!

Katey - you are skinnier than me girl!!! And Baby is kicking in agreement!!

How is everyone today?

sorry to respond so late...I understand about the services now haha...is your sugar test not around 28wks too would u have to do it at the hospital? here ours is around 28wks but I also had it at 16wks this time b/c I was GD last pregnancy.....

Hope your good girls. - minus the morning sickness..soo sorry!

 

[Mirrie]

Hi Girls, thought I'd better catch up!! Hope everyone is good xxx

 

[flugella]

Mirrie!!! How the hell are ya??

All ok here despite Baby having rediscovered it's love of bouncing on my sciatic nerve. I can tell its hearing is much more acute now as it really responds to noises. I'm doing sound and lights for a play this week and it boogied away to Viva Espana! Not sure if I should be amused or concerned...

 

[KateyCakes]

Hope your feeling better Mirrie + Flugella!
Mirrie - It's your V Day tomorrow Happy V Day to you and baby boy Have you picked a name for him yet?

Flugella - I'm sure your little one was enjoying a little boogie, bet it was like a disco

My little one loves daddy singing twinkle twinkle to her. She pushes herself out towards him. It's super cute! She's already a daddy's girl!
My MIL is having her operation tomorrow so we're off to see her tonight.

 

[Mirrie]

Thanks girls! I've been on complete rest this week and am super bored now! Going to celebrate my vday by going swimming in my new massive swimsuit xx

 

[flugella]

Happy V Day to Mirrie and baby boy!

I'm onto double figures now in terms of time to go til Sproglet arrives! It's being very hyper at the moment so I think it's probably saying hi to you all!

Hope MIL's op goes ok Katey, will have everything crossed, which could make dentistry interesting...

Morrisons are having a baby event at the moment so we went down last night and got bottles, microwave steriliser and bottle warmer (which also does jars for later on!) so that if I express some milk DH can do some feeds. They also have huge boxes of Johnsons Baby Wipes for £5 so we've been stocking up. Nappies are also on sale but no newborn ones to be seen. At least I have now bought things so I feel less like a really bad mother! It's all going home with my mum on Saturday though or we'll just have to pack and move it...

 

[KateyCakes]

Just thought I'd pop on to let you all know, MIL's operation went well. She had to stay in overnight but she said at least she gets a break from her husbands snoring
She's at home now -came out at 11 this morning. They said they're happy with her progress but I've got to refrain from giving her a hug and sitting too close to her for the time being. She had to have some sort of radiotherapy injection the day before.

We've been Asda this morning, the only good thing they have on offer is a big box of nappies for £11. Other than that, it's not worth having anything. I've seen things cheaper elsewhere!

Flugella -You're in 3rd tri next week then It's all going so fast! I remember being in 1st tri when I met you! Seems like it was only a couple of weeks ago!

 

[Mirrie]

Oh glad to hear about your MIL Katey xxx

 

[flugella]

Morning all!

Glad to hear MIL's op went well Katey!

God - 3rd tri on Thursday. Can't believe it - where has this time gone?? Next thing I know it'll be here! Help!!!!

We should get a completion date for our new house this week, so then it'll be a case of packing like crazy. I must be mad!

How is everyone?

 

[nljackson]

Glad to hear the good news on your MIL Katey...glad everyone else is doing ok!!!!

Things have been so crazy the last few weeks I think it's too much to go into detail!! ...having to move and Kaelyn has the Flu B I'm so tired.

 

[flugella]

Hello everyone!

May I just go GRRRRRR???? I rang the house builder yesterday to confirm that we can move in at the end of the month / beginning of next month and suddenly they have shifted completion to END OF BLOODY MARCH??!!!! I'll be 35/36 weeks then and that is just not on! Hubby is going in today to find out what's caused the holdup but I'm terrified that it'll be put back again and we'll be moving a week before baby is due, with nothing bought, packed or ready. Not a happy bunny!!!!
