LOL Manu! Me too! Thank god I get a 9 month reprieve and I can just blame preggo brain when really I'm just kind of flighty anyways.

 

[Tournesol]

Went to see the OB/GYN yesterday for my monthly check up and he signed me off work AGAIN as my cervix is starting to dilate and he thinks it's because my job is too strenuous physically. I really must learn to slow down when I'm tired, I always push myself too far.
Oh well, I don't have a choice now, I'm not on bed rest, but I have to take it easy.
So it looks like I might be on early maternity leave as doc was going to have me stop on 23 March anyway. Now I have plenty of time to get stuff ready!

Take it easy Tour!!!

 

[Tournesol]

I will, I will!

Also, 31 weeks!!

 

[manuiti]

Yay for 31 weeks Tour! I'm 30 weeks today.

And glad your Dr's making you take a break from work.

 

[MizzPodd]

Tour relax and slow down!! I'm happy your doctor is making you stop working so hard! Congrats on getting to 31 weeks

 

[Tournesol]

I know, I'm so silly. I just didn't realise I was overdoing it. And I guess I didn't want my colleagues to think that I was incapable of doing my job. But there you go, no choice now!
It's cold, wet and windy outside, so I'm sitting on the sofa in front of the fire with my favourite DVD of Pride and Prejudice. Can't beat a bit of Mr. Darcy

 

[MizzPodd]

I loved the book too Tour enjoy your movie!

 

[Courtney917]

Take it easy Tour!!

Sorry I have been MIA. Things have been hectic around here. Everyone has been taking their turns being sick. Tomorrow is our baby shower and we are expecting 42 people at our house so I have been going nuts!!! Baby's room is almost totally complete . I painted the letters for his name, now DH just has to drill holes and they have to be hung above his crib. We have finally come to a consensus on name: Xavier Nicholas . I'll be 33 weeks on Sunday! Can't believe how fast time is going!!!!!!!!

Hope all you lovely ladies have a great and restful weekend

 

[MizzPodd]

Oh I love that name! I hope you have a great time at your baby shower!!! Yes time is flying by and I'm very happy. I want time to keep going by fast! I will be 30 weeks in a few days!!! I can't believe it! You enjoy your weekend too Court

 

[Courtney917]

Thanks . I will, I am excited because my mom is coming and I havent seen her since Thanksgiving!!!!!! YAY for almost 30 weeks....that is beyond amazing

 

[Tournesol]

Beautiful name court. Love Xavier and my brothers name is Nicholas, I like good strong names for boys.

Our little one is going to be Jack Arthur. Jack, after my grandfather, who was wonderful and my OH chose Arthur as he wanted a name with celtic origins and it means 'strong as a bear'.

Enjoy your shower

 

[MizzPodd]

Tour I love your baby's name too!!! it goes nicely together.

 

[padbrat]

Hey ladies... sorry about being MIA... been so hectic the last few weeks!

How are we all! Bloomin brilliant by the looks of things!

So nice to see my mates from PAL Mighty and Cgav!

Tour.. I am a worrier too.. my Husband's family came down last weekend and the Wife had 4 children so I took her to Boots and Mothercare and gave her a basket and said fill it with what I need and I will pay! LOL

Hey Manu! Court, Mizz, ILuv - I absolutely am in for a Mum page! Wahooo! Listen to us now!

Am going to wash Leo's clothes this weekend and try and pack my hospital bag. Had a scan on Mon and Leo is still measuring 3 wks ahead and weighed in at a hefty 4lb 3 at 31 wks... 1lb 2 heavier than he is meant to... yes, my Son is a fattie!

Cons says I will not be going to my due date, which means Leo will be an April baby not May.... will be induced between 37-39 wks depending on how big he is, how my thyroid and diabetes behaves.... gulp... that means he could be here in 5 wks!!!!!

 

[Tournesol]

Wow Pad, that's so exciting!! You'll be a mummy really soon

 

[padbrat]

I know Tour.... Gulp......

 

[Tournesol]

As a first timer, I'm finding it really hard to get my head round if I'm honest. Like it's not really happening...

 

[MizzPodd]

Court thanks hope you're enjoying your baby shower and not doing too much

Pad I'm excited for you. Trust me, by then you will be happy to get him out lol
I have GD too so will be induced. Baby is measuring two weeks ahead for me so I think I'm having a fattie too

Tour even tho I'm not a first timer, I'm still feeling like its not real... As if I'm in a very long dream.

 

[MightyMom]

I don't really feel like it's real yet either. I'm going to have a baby. Again. Wow. Yep, still not sinking in.

 

[ILuvBabies200]

I have a growth scan Monday then I'll ask what the plan is for induction! Scary but I'm so ready at the same time!
