[wavescrash]

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.

Yey Best of luck and don't overdo it xx

Thanks! I won't have to do all that much, no worries! My brother's coming by to help OH with the furniture and heavy boxes. I'm mostly telling them where to put things & unpacking/decorating I've got it easy!!

Luci and bump - I'm very sorry you're going through such a hard time right now. I hope your OH cuts his trip just a little bit shorter to get back to you but you'll get through it either way What other choice do we have, you know? Best of luck to you dear.

Oooh Waves sorry i was meant to say hope all goes well with the move and how exciting for you...those days you were waiting have flown by!!

I think my baby is folded in half or something because I don't get massive kicks but lots of hand movements and belly wobbling where baby seems to be moving position.

 

[RBurnett]

OMG OMG OMG, i think I only have just over 3 weeks left a work

Aw thanks so much! Yes they have, now if only the pregnancy days could fly by a little faster haha I feel like I've been pregnant forever.

 

[RBurnett]

Wavescrash - i know how u feel...!

Is it not May yet???

 

[rjsmam]

RBurnett - hope you feeling a bit better? and wow am so envious 3wks ! ! ! i have another 9.5 to go!

Luci - my heart truly goes out to you, i can understand all of your emotions at that church service too. As if that wasn't enough you dealing with oh being away is rough - you are doing so well & you should be proud of yourself. Oh will have lots of memories & experiences from his trip but you are toughing it out on your own so just you be so proud of you.

yazzy - hope your day at work is going ok,

girlracer - hi! hope you're having an easy pregnancy! forgive me if you already told us.. do you know if you're team blue or pink? is this your first? sorry i'm nosey haha

[RBurnett]

its cos i have to take all my holiday leave now

 

[zephyr]

Luci - I'm sorry you are going through all this Its sounds awful, I hope you have some friends and family close by that can help you out while your OH is away.

Anti - Sorry bout your stretchmarks Mine are getting longer. I have one in the middle of my belly above my belly button that with my first, every day I went over due it crept up higher and higher. Well that one has started creeping up again now haha

Glad to hear everyone is doing well
I have had a very long break from vomiting! I even took iron tabs night before last. Usually I will spend the entire next day sick as a dog but all I got was nausea during the night and yesterday once or twice but I never spewed!
I'm thinking my bump dropping has helped with the vomiting also cos it was about a week ago it happened and it was about then that the nausea and vomiting eased off slowly.
At least I hope so! We will see when I take my next dosage in two days time hehe

Its the end of February in two days!! I have between 7 and 9 weeks left give or take. So scary! I have packed my suitcase ready to go. Next I am working on my labour bag which I am going to include some food in it cos the hospital is so slack when it comes to feeding ladies who have just given birth.

 

[zephyr]

Wait I lied, its the end of February tomorrow!! OMG I so totally thought it was Monday today haha

 

[luci and bump]

Thank you everyone for your support Am struggling a bit, because I tracked his flight through Qatars website, and it arrived early. Nearly 7 hours later, I still havent had an email or anything to let me know he's ok, so I don't even know if he's arrived safely
My bump is so sore today it seems to have got higher the past few days, which isn't helping the pain in my ribs the only thing that seems to help is putting slight pressure on the bottom of my ribs with both hands, which obviously I can't do all day every day!!

 

[RBurnett]

luci and bump....Hugs for u xx

 

[luci and bump]

Thank you guys Have stopped feeling sad for a while, and am pretty pissed off atm! His flight arrived at 20:15 HK time (I tracked it on the website ) its now nearly 8am, so he arrived nearly 12 hours ago, and I still haven't heard one single thing from him. I know he probably cant wait to go and explore a new city, but is it that unreasonable to expect him to send a quick "I got here safe" email to his pregnant girlfriend?! I can't decide if I'm justified in being annoyed or if I'm just being hormonal!
I tell you what, if I haven't heard from him by tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow evening HK time, he'd better have a bloody good excuse!!!

 

[zephyr]

Luci - I hope he gets in touch soon! The first few days will be hard but hopefully you feel better about it all soon and the time goes fast for you so you can look forward to him coming home. I honestly don't know how you were so good about him going away while you are pregnant! I know I couldn't do it.

Well today I tried to join the multiple birth club for our city and the lady who handles memberships got in touch and said that they may be shutting the club down!!!! Oh I feel so gutted about this. They had fortnightly coffee mornings for multiple mums and other get togethers but apparently numbers are low and they dont have a venue anymore.
I was looking forward to it so much only because I could meet people who have been through it all and I was hoping to learn some good tips and support from people who understand cos I imagine things will be hard.......they have a meeting next week and invited me to come along in the hopes that having some new members will help save the club. Uggh not to mention I put off joining until now and have been itching to join since 7 weeks pregnant! I hope they sort it, what a shame! and what on earth am I gunna do? I'm gunna know no one with twins and this scares me.
I dont even know why it bothers me that much, but my heart sank when I read her email.

 

[yazzy]

Luci sending you hugs, I hope you are ok. But yes I would be annoyed too if I hadn't had a txt or email to say he had arrived safely and is checking in wherever he is staying. I hope you hear from him soon. I think the soreness is from where the bump is growing and baby is getting so much bigger.

RBurnett yay for 3 weeks left at work...hopefully it flies by for you!

Zephyr that's a shame about the group, I hope it doesn't close down. If it does why not set one up yourself? Get a local hall etc and put out a few adverts etc and it could turn out really good.

Well second day back at work and urgh bored of it already lol! But on a plus point I only have 6 working days left and then I have finished work until 2013 woo hoo!!! Had a really sore bit underneath my bump last night to the left hand side, not sure if it was trapped wind (tmi) but it was still a little sore this morning. Keeping a close eye on baby because he/she seems a little quiet since I came back to work, was getting a lot more punches and wiggles when I finally sat down last night after seeing the vicar and going shopping....probably something to do with the toffee sundae that I ate lol!

 

[anti]

I ordered the car seat and base yesterday! Yay! Gotta get some more painting done in the nursery today. Didn't realise how much we had to do in there! Looking forward to having it finished so I can look at it when it's all set up.

Luci I'd be a bit mad as well! Still, I admire you for letting him go. Not sure I would have been able to do that.

Hope work goes quick for you ladies. Can't believe how lucky I am that I've been off work for a month already and I love it! Sleeping in while I can coz I know I won't ever have that chance again till the baby is much bigger!

Still can't believe I'm getting stretch marks! Was bound to happen but still! They only small at the moment but I'm sure they'll get bigger. The ones on my boob have got bigger... All part of the process though! Not long now and we'll all have our babies! still enjoying being pregnant and not ready for bubs to come out.

Scan went well yesterday, was told everything is going well with baby and he/she weighs 2lb 8oz (altho I no they arnt accurate) but they booked me another growth scan in 4wks. OH's blood results where there he's positive so iv still to get anti-D injections. Got some pics but not the best as baby is big so couldn't get any really decent ones x

[RBurnett]

I got strecth marks on my boob and lil one on my bum but so far none on my belly. I use cream on it every day so hope it helps. Im sure Ill probably get them soon!

 

[luci and bump]

Have finally heard from the OH, apparently he did facebook me, but I never got it. He's having a great time already, but says he misses me and bumpy.
I really wish he hadn't gone, but he's always, always wanted to travel. He's been desperate to travel even before we got together. So once we found out I was pregnant, he paniced a bit that it was never going to happen for him, so we sat down and discussed it, and agreed that as long as it was only a month, and that he wouldnt miss anything important, and he would be back with plenty of time to spare, he could go.
He did have a bit of a blip at the airport, and said he couldn't go through with it, but its something he needs to do, because I won't tolerate him leaving me and the baby once its here, so if he didn't go now, he never will.
I miss him so much already though, so if he feels like coming home early, that is more than fine by me!!

 

[rjsmam]

Luci - i can understand completely but still you should be applauded for being so supportive... he's very lucky & I'm sure he realises that - although it won't hurt to remind him when he's back (repeatedly lol - escpecially when nappies need changed )

sorry but am gonna rant about my dh now! grrr... he decided to 'work from home today' (= play football on the xbox).. i nipped back at lunch time for food & found him lolling about in his pjs, curtains still drawn (1pm!) and the sink full of dishes. because he was clearly miffed i'd 'found him out' he didn't even come through to say hello, or even ask how i was or how my day was going. so i made my own lunch, cleaned up his mess & just left without any converstation. It's not so much that he was being a lazy sod but i find it hurtful to not even care/ask how my day is! If i'm ever at home during the day he always comes back for lunch & the house is always gleaming with his lunch ready for him - i don't even expect that - just a little companionship!? Grrr - maybe i'm being hormonal!!

[luci and bump]

I've told him he'd better bring me home some amazing presents! And that when the baby is here, he can do his share of being on his own with the baby while I do something by myself lol. Can see the baby coming and me refusing to leave it though! Am trying to convince him atm that he should take me to London to watch a show before baby comes, but he doesn't seem to sure on that haha. Watched Mamma Mia with my mum last week and the baby had a whale of a time!!
rjsmam- I think I'd feel a bit upset that he didn't even think to ask you how your day was going etc. And if he was that miffed at being "caught out" then he shouldn't have been doing it!! Hopefully you'll get home from work tonight and the house will be clean and he'll have a little treat for you
