waves - gonna be busy times ahead indeed! yikes 30wks! hope you not gonna need to do too much work for the move

Fortunately, there's not much I'll have to do. OH is going to be doing all the heavy stuff with the help of either a friend or my brother. My sister is trying to get the day off work to help me with the unpacking and what little bit I'm able to do plus boxes as I can only lift a few of them. My job is mostly going to be telling everyone where I want things, unpacking & decorating hahaha. I've also done most of the shopping for decor/furnishings, etc.


Today we went out and picked up some craft items so I can work on wooden letters for the name "HANNAH" to put in the nursery (I'm covering plain wooden letters in pretty scrapbook paper to match the colors of the nursery) and a shelf to put them on as well as a bookshelf for the nursery as well. We're packing up a bit here and there as we go, but there's still so much we need left out for the next 3 weeks until we can actually get into the apartment so there's going to be a nice last minute rush of packing. Oh well!

Luci....funny you should say your OH's parents are from Yeovil...that is where I live Google some places and i'm sure you'll find somewhere nice to stay. And just think how lovely it will be when he comes home

Today I actually managed a short walk in the field with one of my dogs and then a tiny walk in town...am aching now but have claimed the sofa so will chill for the rest of the day, fingers crossed this pain is healing now.

Taken just last night. She's so freaking low I'm amazed at how big it's getting and I really am scared to see how big I'm going to be toward the end.

 

[luci and bump]

I'm thinking maybe Oxford? Its very expensive there though! Think I'm going to attempt to talk to him again tonight about his parents driving him to the airport, as I really don't think I'll be comfortable saying goodbye to him in front of them! I think they need to stop being so selfish and accept that they happily go months without seeing him, so they can't make a big deal about him going travelling for a month! I think they just want to be able to play the caring parents for a change.
Waves- That certainly is a lovely big bump! Did you pop out suddenly, or have you been gradually growing? As I'm only 3 weeks behind you, but can still hold my bump in and just look a bit podgy if I want to lol. Part of me cant wait until I'm properly pregnant looking

I popped a few weeks ago and now it's gradually growing but I just looks so much bigger all of a sudden. Maybe it's just how low it is? I don't know. I remember wishing for a real bump and now that I have it, it hurts so much and I want to be done already haha.

Today is my birthday! and my youngest daughter and OH made me pancakes with chocolate ice cream (cos we had no mayple syrup) for breakfast and it was actually pretty freakin good! Though I still have issues keeping down my first meal of the day, it has to be light and not very sugary so I am staying as still as possible right now to avoid a mad dash to the bathroom

OH didn't shave I thought he would......he just trimmed it. Its because he bumped into a friend of his who is growing a beard too and it motivated him to keep his ugggh oh well, he will want a change again sometime soon. Actually we did make a deal that if he grew a beard while preggers that he had to shave it off the day of the birth sooooo since he held me to the finding out the sex's if there was two babies and letting him name one if there were two babies I think I'm gunna hold him to it!! Like he did me!! haha

He has something planned for today its meant to be a surprise but I think I guessed already. My guess is his dad is coming round to watch the kids so he can take me to the movies.
We have movie vouchers and his dad owes us a babysit.
Hes cleaned the house cos someone is coming round for 5 hours.
The divers seatbelt is only half changed over so he arranged for my dad to come earlier to finish the job cos we are going somewhere and it HAS to be done by 12.
I told him I wanted to spend time with the kids on my bday not leave them at home and he had the uh oh look on his face lol

So putting all that together.....That is what I have come up with. I'll let you's know later if I was right

 

[wavescrash]

Happy birthday

 

[bumpin2012]

thats so weird Zephyr! We share a birthday but b/c of the time difference, mine isn't until tomorrow...lol...

Well Happy Birthday anyways!

 

[luci and bump]

Happy birthday Zephyr Hope you've had a nice day, and your OH's surprise turned out to be lovely

 

[zephyr]

I know!! Its your birthday in NZ even facebook says so lol so Happy birthday to you too!

And yup he invited his dad over to babysit while we went out.....but not to a movie, we had lunch instead It was great alone time and the food was nice and he even got all dressed up shirt and dress pants etc. And he made me a wonderful cake that we had with the kids when we got home.
We almost didn't make it out we had 4 or 5 people at one time all in my car trying to unbolt stuff fast to get the drivers seatbelt back in on time. Took a few hours but they did it!
I got given a really nice fluffy bathrobe and a foot spa and I had to back off into a room cos I burst into tears!! Can you believe that I felt like a right knob then my friend came in and says "omg are you crying whats wrong??" and all I could do is go "IIIIII dooooon't knoooooooow" Cos I didn't know what was wrong haha I think I was just overwhelmed by the kindness of people who took the time to visit and bring gifts when I wasn't expecting anything at all so....meh hormones lol

Oh yeah me and OH went and got a chocolate frappe before we came home and I couldn't finish mine so gave it to him and he bloody spilt it in the car!! everywhere! the bulk of it going on and IN my handbag omg, I just about died lol

Now I am going to put my feet up for the rest of the evening while my oldest cooks dinner, she was excited to be cooking my birthday dinner

 

[RBurnett]

Hey ladies,

Hope your all well. Hope u had a lovely birthday zephyr and bumpin2012. xx

I might call triage today as bubs movements seem to be getting less and less every day. Im going to see if he wakes up soon and if not i might call. I have felt him but nothing like he used to be, so worried! x

 

[rjsmam]

Happy Birthady Zephyr and Bumpin !!

[bumpin2012]

Sounds like you had a lovely day Zephyr! BTW FB says your birthday is today!

Im sleeping post night shift. Thankfully my last night so I dont have to go back in tonight.
OH is taking me out to dinner somwhere. I have to pick something, but i seem to be going through yet another food aversion phase... nothing is appealing.

But, for my present, I get to go and meet my friends new baby girl, who was born yesterday morning!

 

[yazzy]

Happy Birthday Zephyr!

Rburnett - I hope all is ok and bubs gets a move on soon. I swear they panic us sometimes! I had been feeling movements non stop all day for a few days and then yesterday baby got a bit quieter so I was worried although I felt him/her when I went to bed and woke up in the night to bubs having a dance in there, but i'm wondering if they are having a growth spurt and quietening down? Doesn't hurt to get checked out though.

Waves - wow...definitely got a bump going on there!! Mine is probably half that size, really hoping on Tuesday my measurements are ok. I'm getting bigger though as my t-shirts are getting tighter over my bump and so is my winter coat|

Going to make some chocolate brownies this afternoon...I hope they turn out well! Not sure if i'll be back at work tomorrow as it still hurts to sit normally on a chair so can't imagine being sat at my desk all day. However it is definitely getting better so the rest has done me good.

 

[rjsmam]

RBurnett - let us know how you get on, hope all is well. hopefully it's just as Yazzy says - i've noticed my bump has been very quiet over the last few days & movements are much smaller than the ninja practice he/she was doing earlier in the wk!!

am not having a great wk end due to my dh being douche bag. i know my hormones are elevated but even without that i feel he's such a selfish creature sometime.

have just been over to 3rd tri for a snoop - it's another wk til i'm 27wks but i don't feel i relate to 2nd tri anymore.. but oooh it was scary over there... there's ladies having babies and everything

[larabbxx]

Hi, can i join, im due on may 15 th with a little girl x

 

[yazzy]

Rjsmam...maybe all our bumps are having growth spurts. Mine sounds like yours, ninja practice earlier in the week and now he/she is taking it easy.

Lara...welcome to the group, and congrats on your little girl. Everyone is lovely in here so chat away

 

[kwood]

Hope you both had a great Birthday Bumpin and Zephyr

 

[zephyr]

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! bumpin facebook musn't account for the time difference cos I got more birthday wishes from my american friends this morning and it says its not your birthday anymore, that is so weird! I hope you have a great day though, and your OH spoils you

RBurnett - I hope all is well, let us know how it goes. Mine is eerily quiet too I have only felt very soft tickles from hands and the odd kick here and there which I would miss if I was busy. I think they just have run out of room.

yazzy - Mmmmm chocolate brownies! I actually woke up this morning thinking about chocolate brownies.

I am feeling pretty good today actually, but I need to say I am over, just well and truly over spewing! This morning I hadn' even got a drink of water yet and my stomach was trying to empty itself when it was already empty! and it hurt lots. The rest of the day is fine, its just some mornings. I actually have to sit very still for about an hour after breakfast or when I get up sometimes just to make sure I don't.
Now that the aching and pains have settled a bit I am really enjoying being pregnant and am sad to see it coming to an end, but I will not miss the spewing!! I cannot wait till I can get up in the morning and actually eat something more than just a protein shake!

Hope everyone has a great day, today I am making lip balms I hope they turn out.

 

[RBurnett]

Hey, well i tried the cold drink and eating choc and laying on side and nothing so i then tried a bath and played music and he started to kick again...Hooray!!

He still isnt as active as he normally is but im feeling him kick and move so im not going to call hosp. I think its just hard to know when to get checked over?!?

These babies like to worry us! lol x
