[bumpin2012]

hows everyone today?

 

[wavescrash]

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

I looked it up and it said dizzy spells like that are common at this stage. It's only happened the two times so far so I'll let it go but if it happens again, I'll probably mention it.

Finally sent off my Leave of Absence paperwork for work. Here's hoping it gets approved. I'm sure work will accommodate me even if it's not (they've been great so far) but we'll see. Moving day is in just 4 days (well more like 3 and a half!) which is exciting!!! We did some more shopping today for some essentials (food, mostly.)

I think we're going through a growth spurt again (or still... whichever is the case.) Her movements tonight are so weird and it's got me very uncomfortable. My pants and underwear feel a bit tighter as well so who knows. Looking down, I feel like I look a lot bigger than I did this morning.

Anyway, hope you're all doing well!

Aw yeah we are having a growth spurt here too. My bump popped out again, like way out! it is lower now though and I am as hungry as a horse and can fit lots of food in. Usually I am so full of baby that i can only eat small amounts (eating too much leads to me vomiting also) but today they have moved to the most wonderful position ever! Cos I have been able to eat! and that I have done lots of

I just finished a magnum and I dont get it, I hate ice cream usually but looks like ice creams really my thing now.

Hrmm what else? can't move much today, I am so massive! I reckon easily 36 weeks now. In another two weeks I reckon I'll be as big as 40 weeks if I keep growing at this rate. Can barely move, feels like I'm gunna have a full term baby any week now but I know I got ages and its not a full term baby!! Such a weird feeling.

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! My first thought was to find and strangle this other girl's parents for not teaching their child better...

I totally feel you!! I absolutely despise the fact that there are so damn many irresponsible parents out there making it a thousand times harder to raise your own child right and instill all the right values. A few months ago I found porn on my daughter's friend's iPod. I confiscated it and took it directly to her mother. The little girl stood there in front of me and her mother and lied to her mother about how it had gotten on the iPod (I know about history and timestamps and things of that nature, I can find out almost anything from an electronic) and her mother believed her. Wow, ok, well nothing more I can do here other than the fact that my daughter does not get to spend hardly any time with that little girl anymore. It's a shame that irresponsible parenting had to ruin that friendship for my daughter....

Well, hello to pain now. Baby has always been very very active and I was afraid of this... she has gotten bigger now, and she is not piping down any and her movements and kicks are starting to REALLY hurt. They could be uncomfortable at times before, now they are downright painful! This sucks and I am ready to deliver now! LOL. Each pregnancy is harder on the body, after 3, I am convinced now!

I always feel like a heel complaining when I think about what you're going through... your TWO are 3 lbs and my ONE is only 3lbs... LOL

Hey everyone.....

i have a nursery! wooop.... we've all been grafting all day & am utterly exhausted - we bought a sofabed for our spare room, dismantled our old spare room bed & cleaned the room from top to bottom, shifted all the furniture around & put the cot together.... cleaned the carpet etc.... argh was such hard work & was in some serious contortions trying to get the cot together but junior seems no worse off even is mum is knackered........ was so worth it though & i love the room now

waves & vaurissa - wow i'm actually shocked at kids that age having content/knowledge like that..... vaurissa i don't blame you for keeping your little one away from her

hope everyone is having a great wk end. i'm also feeling pretty uncomfortable - junior seems to adopt some really odd positions, with the bum or head sticking right out.. feels like he/she's gonna burst out of the front of my tum alien style sometimes!

OMG I feel like such a pig! I had a 3 egg omelette this morning for breakfast on two slices of toast and half an orange. I figured a break from the pancakes and ice cream would do me some good and ya know, eat something healthy for breakfast. Then after breakfast I checked my facebook and a friend had only mentioned the words ice cream and I got the most intense craving for pancakes and ice cream I HAD to have some, even though I just ate I felt starving again.
So 10 minutes later I'm sitting down to a big bowl of pancakes and ice cream haha

Vaurissa - aw, ya know if I had just one baby I would probably complain too especially after having so many kids already I think that really plays a part so you can complain away! I just get my late pregnancy aches sooner than most, BUT my babies also come out earlier.

rjsmam - so cute Those movements have changed alot over the weeks huh? dunno bout you but all mine are more prods and whole belly shifting now, feels like they trying to escape. The girl I have no clue what on earth she is trying to do but she keeps getting into this awkward position where my right side sticks waaaaaay out and feels uncomfortable, then that sets of a BH which pushes her back to where she was. She keeps doing it over and over again like she is trying to turn but doesn't quite have the room to do it cos its her back and bum that sticks out.

I mean, I definitely understand believing your child but in that particular situation, I wouldn't believe her. I'd have to have a serious talk with her. It sucks we have to disable friendships for our children just because some people stink at parenting. But hopefully all our kids find decent & responsible friends haha.

I feel you on the pain. The movements aren't cute anymore. They just hurt. They're jabs and rolls and she pushes her bum out as far as humanly possible and just likes to make me whine haha. I agree that each pregnancy is harder on the body. Granted, I only have 2 to compare but my second is farrrr worse than my first was.

Trust me, so am I It's really sad.

On a positive note, yay for the nursery!

29 week bump, it is SOOOO low!! If I place my hand on the top its a shelf and I have so much space between my boobies and my bump. Could this be why I have not spewed much the past week? Being able to eat more too, its defintely lower.

Also attached pics of the hats I made and the little teeny slippers, they are so cute I am making more of them and they only take about an hour to do which is awesome, then will find something else to make I'm sure.
I also attached a pic of my bassinet I brought last week, the kids have already put their dolls in it

I had so much energy today I managed to clean so much!! I am exhausted now though and will be caching an early sleep very soon.

 

[anti]

Zephyr I love your little hats and booties!! So cute! I've been trying to have a major clear out today. Got half of one room done and my back started hurting so I sat down and now my back and hips are so so sore!!! Anyway... That will teach me! Bubs was quiet yesterday but today it's been jumping around like mad! I had a good time at the baby show as well... Got a few good bargains and just had a good day out. Even though I was sore afterwards! Can't believe I have my 30 week appointment this week!! Scary stuff! Can't believe how fast time is going!! I still have so much to do! Especially the nursery. We decided we're gonna rip the carpet up and put a new one down so we need to get that sorted before we can put the furniture up. We're still painting though! Got the door and skirting boards to do and then just touch ups around the edges which I'm gonna do this week while OH is at work but I won't do any of the big stuff. We're going to Costco this weekend as well to stock up on stuff before baby is here so that we won't need to do any big shops for a few months. So gonna have another busy weekend this weekend coming! Gotta order the car seat this week as well!

Hope you all ok and a bit more organised than me!

I'm due on May 16th 2012 with a little boy x

 

[anti]

first stretch marks are starting to make an appearance. So sad!!

 

[anti]

GirlRacer-welcome! Front page has been updated!

 

[sharon0302]

Hi Anti

Could you update me to team on front page- thanx!

 

[wavescrash]

first stretch marks are starting to make an appearance. So sad!!

Aww I'm sorry!!!

I've noticed some of mine are looking a lot worse than they were. There's one in particular right above my belly button that looks like a fault line in the Earth that split wide open. I can't even see the underside of my belly but I'm sure there's a ton of new ones there.


Tomorrow is moving day! I'm hoping someone has a wireless internet connection we can "steal" until we set up our own internet, otherwise I'll just be updating from my iPhone and won't be able to post weekly belly shot updates like I had been in the bump thread over in 3rd tri. Not a big deal but I enjoyed sharing those haha. We'll see. At least I'll have my phone so I can keep updated with everyone I'm just so excited - as of tomorrow we'll officially have a nursery

 

[yazzy]

Anti - oh sorry the stretch marks are appearing. So far I haven't got any sign of them yet but they have plenty of time to appear. Sounds like you have a good plan for your nursery.

Welcome Girlracer and congrats on the little boy!

I'm back in work today, still have a very sore coccyx but its nice to be back with the people I work with. Might finish work a little early today though!
I think we are going to start the nursery in March, its basically a case of putting some nice things on the walls and have again been given lots of furniture and the cot will arrive on April 10th...yay!

Hope everyone and their bubs are ok. Mine is being quite quiet whilst I am sat at work so hopefully he/she will liven up later!

 

[RBurnett]

Hey Ladies...im feeling crap today I feel so hot, dizzy and feel sick. I think its the lack of sleep as i was up with stomach pains and when that went baby was being very active giving me some very hard kicks and punches!..Cant wait till home time!!

 

[rjsmam]

Oh no Anti – hope they’re not too bad – remember they are stripes of pride for being an awesome mamma… I’ve been lucky so far & was also hoping it would last til term but it’s unlikely! I do have some nice scars from getting my appendix removed a couple of years ago which have stretched & become v ugly


Waves – yay for moving day – but hope you not gonna have to do too much! Nursery is v exciting – we got ours set up over wk end & can’t stop gazing in the room now, am so pleased! Dh also gutted our garage which was overflowing with junk & while I’m gazing at our nursery he’s in love with space in the garage lol.

got my 28wk apmnt on Wed & am dying to know what position jnr is in as i'm sure he/she's right under my ribs

Welcome :wave:

first stretch marks are starting to make an appearance. So sad!!

It is wonderful some ladies are so positive about them, but I am not ready for even more changes to my body right now!! Are you using lotions or potions or help at all? I am slathering on bio oil day and night, although I understand it wont necessarily work

Tomorrow is moving day! ... - as of tomorrow we'll officially have a nursery

Yey Best of luck and don't overdo it xx

Hey Ladies...im feeling crap today I feel so hot, dizzy and feel sick. I think its the lack of sleep as I was up with stomach pains and when that went baby was being very active giving me some very hard kicks and punches!..Cant wait till home time!!

Boo, I am sorry to hear this! I slept badly too last night- the joys of nocturnal babies!!

 

[luci and bump]

Sorry I haven't been on much the past week or so, have had a bit of a tough time.
My dads funeral was on Friday, and even though I told my OH not to change his trip, I'm glad he did, because I don't think I could have got through it without him. Then Sunday, his Mum talked us into going to church with her, which got a bit intense. They started talking about healing, and invited people to share their stories about how they had been healed. Got a bit upset, because it all seemed so unfair that my Dad was such a good man, but was so ill for such a long time.
Then I had to go with my OH to the airport the drive up wasn't too bad, but the second we stepped foot inside departures, I was a wreck I managed to hold it together until I walked him to the check in desk, but then I fell apart I was ok on the way home, but then he rang me just as he was walking to the boarding gate, and then I was a complete mess, because I knew it would be the last time I'd speak to him We text a bit until he had to turn his phone off, but now thats it It's been less than a day and I already miss him more than I thought possible. I just want him back now! I can't believe I have another 31 days before I get to see him or speak to him again We've never gone longer than a week without speaking, and we've never gone longer than a day or two without text/email contact I'm used to seeing him every single day I've told him if he wants to stay the full month then thats ok, but if he wants to come home early, thats ok too. I just think he'll get out there and be having too much fun to want to come home. Sounds a bit selfish, but he kept saying "I can't believe I'm leaving baby for this long" and kept kissing my tummy, but he didn't seem so bothered to be leaving me for so long He recorded his voice on my phone too so I can play it to baby every night, which is quite sweet

In Pregnancy news, my bump is growing bigger by the day, and baby is getting so strong! Kicks are starting to be quite painful! And occasionally make me feel a bit sick!
My boobs have started leaking too, so have had to start wearing breast pads every day My nipples are sooooo sore too! They literally feel like someone has rubbed sandpaper over them, and then held a lighter underneath them I have the midwife on Friday, so hopefully she'll be able to give me some advice! My CM seems to have stepped up too, I have to change my panty liner every half an hour or so, and if I don't have on in, it comes through my pants and through my leggings!! Not pleasant!
Sorry about the essay!!!
