May 2012 babies - so far 8 yellow, 22 blue, 21 pink!

[wavescrash]

I'm not sure if it's the growth spurt she's gone (going?) through or just the way she's been laying but I had the worse SPD pain ever last night. I'd rather have been in active labor than feel the way I was feeling, it was so bad. There was so much pressure because she was in my pelvic region and to even move my legs/hips... excruciating.

Today's a bit better so I'm thinking she's changed positions but it's just getting worse as the pregnancy goes on. I knew it would, my doctor told me it would but it's still so shocking to realize how painful it can get. I've got plans to go to a concert tonight to see some friends I haven't seen in nearly a year so I'm hoping I can get through the night. I don't know when I'll get to see them again as they're from Canada and only come around 1-2 times a year but with the baby on the way, who knows what I'll be doing next time they're around. So dear body of mine... please cooperate with me just once? I let you take over and do whatever you want every other day... but tonight, I want to enjoy my night out.

Hope you're all doing well Moving day is in 6 days and we've still got plenty of packing to do. Most of it is things I have to wait until last minute as we need them before moving day so Monday is going to be one very busy day around here.

Thanks! It makes me wonder how women have more than 2 kids, I swear haha! My body just can't handle this pregnancy I guess. Oh well, it could be worse and things could actually be wrong you know? And it's almost over. Only a few more months and then I should be feeling like normal again though I don't remember what "normal" feels like hahah.

 

[zephyr]

Waves - ohhhh how I wish to feel normal again!! Don't want these babies out yet BUT I do crave having my body back cos of all the pain and tiredness etc. I'm sorry you are in so much pain!

Yazzy - Thanks I am very pleased with the weights as for the birth either way terrifies me. I know v birth will be easier but I am worried something may go wrong with the second twin. Odds are in my favour I know but I guess that's just normal mummy worries!

RBurnett - good luck with your consultant appointment, I hope all is well

Anti - Ohhh wow! I almost got a teary eye too. How beautiful

I brought a basinette and am picking it up today hopefully if the lady gets back to me with her address......thats the thing I don't get when buying stuff online. People who make a day and time for you to pick up but fail to send the pick up address lol I am meant to be picking it up at 9 but I have no idea where from so fingers crossed she is back online before I hop off!

Its that day again! The grocery, pay bills, daycare, school and dance lesson day! Oh I hope I am still able to move at the end of it.

I forget what it's like to walk normally... at a normal pace, without the waddle haha. I think I'm going to jump, hop and skip as soon as I can after pregnancy just to remember what it's like Thanks!

Good luck getting that woman's address!

Hey consultant went well...I saw baby again today It was on some old fashion machine but still got to see him. The consultant cant explain the pains and thinks im just one of the unlucky ones who have painful pregnancies I go back in 5 weeks. Only 4 weeks now till I c bubs and hopefully he will use the scanner when I see him again.

Baby is head down and HB is fine. He said its normal to get a lot of pressure now. Im now worried that I dont feel him kick me. The only movements i get is low so must be his arms/hands.

I have midwife 2mo she will let her know im not feeling kicks, i hardly feel anything over my belly button.

 

[RBurnett]

Anti - scans are lovely. Im still in two mind to have one or not, OH doesnt want to c what baby looks like till he is born and I do agree but I do love seeing the scans. If I wasnt having a 3rd scan then I would probably have one but so far I have had a lot more scans than usual.

Your scans and u saying his feet are up by bubs head has also made me feel a bit reassured that im not getting and high kicks. Maybe my bubs is doubled over??

 

[Ems77]

It makes me wonder how women have more than 2 kids, I swear haha!

That's why I waited a decade! LOL. I will say that they have become increasingly worse. My first was a breeze didn't feel preg at all other than nasty sickness in the beginning. The second, I passed out a couple of times and would get winded easily. This time... well... don't get me started! LOL! And they are all girls.

Hahah!! Well I have 6 years in between but still... all I heard about consecutive pregnancies is that you show sooner. I wish I'd been warned that it's harder on the body haha.

My first one was easy as can be. I loved being pregnant, I missed it, told girls they were crazy if they didn't enjoy it, etc. This time around I'm wondering HOW you can enjoy being pregnant haha.

 

[zephyr]

I got my basinette! I messaged her with my cell number and sure enough she txt me right on time for me to pick up yay! Now I dont have to worry about taking down the cot and moving that into our room!!

I have had the morning from hell haha did our shopping and my son locked me out of the car after I had put my bag (and keys) in it so here I am pregnant as anything standing there trying to convince him that yes he should open the door to let me in.....I tell you, trying to get a 3 year old to do what YOU want when they have other ideas is not easy.
So cos the boot was unlocked the thought crossed my mind to climb through....I am sure that would of looked hillarious! then he decides to open the door on the opposite side of the car, into someone elses car (luckily it didn't leave a mark) so I went running round to catch the open door and he shuts it! OMG but I managed to get it right before he locked it again and I took his treat off him and got my growl face on and his response looking at me all innocent eyes "I done nuffing!"

Then I came home and spewed and I am so tired I couldn't even get the basinette out of the car to set up so its still in there.

 

[wavescrash]

Oh man, you poor thing! It sounds funny but I'm sure it wasn't in the moment.

Today my Mom found a note in my daughter's things from her "secret club" with a girl at school. On the note was a list that said 1. Kiss 2. Have sex 3. Clothes off. They're 6 and in the first grade! I know my daughter doesn't know what sex is from us and has never walked in on any intimate moments to know what they are other than a few glimpses she may have caught during a movie that was on. My Mom asked her where she heard about those things and she said from that girl at school. This girl is someone my daughter has been calling a best friend so they talk often. Now I'm wondering what more she knows but is ashamed to tell us or doesn't think to tell us. What does this other girl know that she's telling my child? We're emailing the teacher as we don't have contact with the girl or her parents so hopefully the teacher is able to be of some assistance.

My first thought was to find and strangle this other girl's parents for not teaching their child better. I mean, it's one thing if you've taught them about those sorts of topics but you should then tell them they're not to go around telling their friends about them in the event that they haven't been educated by THEIR OWN parents yet. I want my child learning about sex the right way, not what some first grader overheard her parents doing/talking about.

Totally put a damper on my day.

 

[zephyr]

Ohh no its funny now Just at the time it wasn't. He is such a little charmer he cracks me up a lot actually. Thats his favourite saying at the moment "I done nuffin"
He'll hide something behind his back and say "I doooone nuuuuffin!" or you'll walk in on him doing something he knows hes not meant to be doing and says it. Just the way he says it gets me every time, doesn't matter what he has done its very hard to keep a straight face!

And wow that sucks about your daughters friend! Its really hard when we can't monitor what happens at school and they pick up on stuff we really would rather they didn't know about. Luckily I have not had that problem yet but if I did I would be pretty angry too and you are doing the right thing in contacting the school. It is all probably innocent talk and neither of them know anything about it but its best to be safe and make sure all adults are made aware of the situation especially the teachers so they can keep an eye on it. Good luck! I hope it all gets sorted...

Anti - scan pics are great, what a gorgeous little bubs you have in there! It makes me really want a 3D scan, they are £65 at our hospital so not really expensive but I guess its £65 I can spend on something else. I do have another scan at 35/36 weeks so get to see bubs again soon'ish.

Zephyr - what a little monkey lol!! Funny afterwards but I can imagine at the time of being locked out of the car it wasn't quite as amusing.

Waves - I hope your SPD gets a bit better and you can enjoy your evening out.

RBurnett - baby could well have his legs tucked up in front of him which is why you would mainly feel hands and arms down low. I get lots of low down movement and then some days lots of kicks up high or a foot in my ribs but other days not a lot so I think it depends where they position themselves. I was starting to worry thinking what is normal movement as I've never experienced this before and have nothing to compare to but I guess everyone is different.

Last night I went to listen to the Brass Quintet who are playing in the Church at my wedding and they were amazing....I now can't wait to get married and get in the church just to listen to them again lol! So excited! Ahh and i'm 29 weeks today...its nearly the 10 week countdown!!

I'm going to try and get back in work on Monday and then it's only a week and a half until I finish to start my holiday and then mat leave.

 

[RBurnett]

Zephyr - How are u and the twins? Your son sounds like a lil cutie, bet he soo excited to me a big brother

Wavescrash - I hope your bump has a break from growing! My SPD pain has got a lot better but im sure its not the end of it.

I have midwife appointment today, I want to ask about his kicking as I dont feel it and also his HB doesnt sound sright ont he doppler last night...Im forever worrying!!!

 

[cliqmo]

here's some pics of my 4d scan!

Wow, they really are lovely!! Amazing you get to meet that little face for real in a couple of months time

Hey consultant went well...I saw baby again today ... I have midwife 2mo she will let her know im not feeling kicks, i hardly feel anything over my belly button.

Hey, glas it went well with the Consultant! Just a thought- could the reason you get pain but no kicks be that bubs is facing the other way and therefore kicking your back?? It would mean s/he is trampling nerves and causing the pain, and might explain why you don't actually feel the kicks?

I got my basinette! ...

I have had the morning from hell haha did our shopping and my son locked me out of the car after I had put my bag (and keys) in it so here I am pregnant as anything standing there trying to convince him that yes he should open the door to let me in.....I tell you, trying to get a 3 year old to do what YOU want when they have other ideas is not easy...

Oh dear you do sound like you had a day of it!! I have to admit your post did make me smile though, and your little man sounds like he has a terrific character

Today my Mom found a note in my daughter's things from her "secret club" with a girl at school. On the note was a list that said 1. Kiss 2. Have sex 3. Clothes off. They're 6 and in the first grade!

OMG!! I am truly shocked that six year olds know about this Let's hope the teachers can do something about it I really feel for you that you need to protect your daughter from such things at such a tender age

Hope everyone else is doing well? I am constantly knackered and get terrible acid reflux but I think I am getting off lightly compared to some

I can't believe how much movement and how many kicks I feel now compared to a few weeks ago, it is a real wake up call that there is a little person in there getting stronger all the time

 

[RBurnett]

Hey Cliqmo you may be right, not really thought that. I been getting lil taps from his feet so it could be his heel.

Midwife is not sure that the pain is normal and wants me to go to the drs to get refered to the specalist!.

Nursery is all finished and will upload photos in a bit

 

[zephyr]

RBurnett - We are doing good, tired and sore as to be expected. The babies have really quiet days and other days it actually gets quite painful if they both are going at it My son is excited about the babies, he still puts a marble in my belly button and tells them to kick it out hehe
I hope you get to see a specialist soon and they can sort the pain out for you.
Can't wait to see the nursery pics!

Its funny, yesterday while at the supermarket waiting at the checkout one lady said to my son "Ohhhh it looks like you are going to have a brother or sister very soon!" and I said "Yeah a brother AND a sister" Should of seen her face. In fact when anyone asks about my bump now telling them theres actually two in there and that I have ages to go is pretty funny.

I'm making pancakes and ice cream very shortly for my breakfast, I have been looking forward to it since yesterday

I just gotta say though, this week has gone pretty quick! Its Friday here already and I have no idea where the week went.

[wavescrash]

Thanks ladies... unfortunately the bump and baby haven't listened and still seem to be growing, causing pain. Today is far more painful than yesterday. Last night while I was at the concert, I was standing in the back when all of a sudden I couldn't see or hear and I thought I was going to black out so I had to ask a girl to walk me to the bathroom and as soon as I sat down, I felt completely fine. It was the strangest thing. Then today while shopping, my vision got a little blurry and I broke out in a cold sweat but it subsided rather quickly.

29 weeks today and feeling every minute of it...

Comparison - last week to this week.

 

[zephyr]

Aw waves maybe you should ring your midwife about the vision changes? I hope it passes. and wowwe you sure notice some growth changes! haha

RBurnett - Aw it looks beautiful! and I love your bassinet, its so cute

I had a great day today, started with pancakes and ice cream omg I dont know why I love them so much its just pancakes, vanilla ice cream and a sliced banana. I cant get enough! Its really funny cos I hate ice cream usually, it is very rare when I will actually feel like ice cream but lately omg the other night I had a packet of cashew nuts but wanted ice cream so cashews and ice cream it was
I am soooooo getting some ice cream when I am done typing this.

I also started crocheting some little newborn shoes they are so cute! I have only done half of one so far, still learning how to do it but will upload a pic when they are done.
I ended up completing five of those hats I posted a while back, a pink a blue and 3 green and white, one of which is for a friend.
I will have to upload a pic of those too.
