I'm exactly the same TTCBean.

I figure if I don't like them then I'll sell the ones I dislike (great resale value) and will have lots of money!
 
Omg I have woken with the worst hip pain this morning and it feels like she is about to fall out at any second! I lost count how many times I had to get up an pee last night which works just great with my insomnia!

My Braxton hicks feel almost constant now. Everything I seem to do brings them on. Luckily I've only had a handful of really painful ones so I know it's just my uterus preparing itself.

I can't wait till next Thursday for my growth scan so I can see how big this bubbas going to be.

Hope you are all well xx
 
Hi Babee glad you are okay!

Cloth nappies - you will find a preference but its not so bad as you hear from others that some just don't work - they all seen to work just fine but some need changing more and you find a preference over some. If you've never used disposables you will be fine with cloth, it took me a while to get into the swing of it and even now I have days when I just use disposables but in general I'd say I'm 75% using cloth during the day on DD and its going well. I like ittis as they are slimline but they don't last as long, fuzzi bunz/pockets are great as they last a long time especially if you add an extra booster, and the best at no leaks at all are flips.
Funnily enough I've just messaged a girl selling 3 very girly nappies to buy them as they are gorgeous even though I have no idea if I am having a girl!! I actually think I'm having a boy lol! I'll just have to resell them if that's the case!

Foxy - hope you are okay
 
I've been tempering my cloth nappy habit. DD has ended up with quite the stash, and she's about ready to potty train! Boo. No more cute butt. Well, that just means that DS needs some, right? I've purchased a newborn size AI2 and I'm going to trace out the pattern and attempt to make a newborn stash with some adorable knit fabric I got and minky. I also bought a couple of really cute OS and I'll see if I can't figure out a pattern for those too! It'll be a while before I need them though and I may just buy one nappy every other week from this seller because hers are so cute! (God, it is an addiction isn't it?)
 
Hi Babee! Lovely to hear from you, it's getting exciting how close we are getting isn't it? And you will be one of the first to deliver too :)

Poor Foxy- i really feel for you as my nights are pretty rubbish too most of the time. Yet bless me with an afternoon nap and I could stay there for hours! The peeing is doing my head in now. I'm taking ranitidine for heartburn as the gaviscon just wasn't cutting it.

Yay I only have two weeks left at work after this one! So relieved that the end is in sight. Although it won't be much more relaxing being home with my two energetic boys it will still be nicer than dragging myself out of bed very early after no sleep etc etc at least i can sit and cuddle mine on the sofa and let them watch a bit of a dvd and read books when it all gets a bit too much to cope with. I'm so slow at work and getting a bit forgetful and struggling with the pain and so i really need these two weeks to fly for their sake too lol. Also I have so much to do, the house needs a deep clean and i have to reorganise all the bedrooms, sort clothes out etc. I really feel for you ladies who still have a long stint left at work :( <3 <3

I had my whooping cough vaccine today which was fine at the time but man my arm hurts now! I've not experienced that with a vaccine before. I have a lot of sympathy for my little man who had his preschool booster jabs today too. I was dreading it but he was so brave bless him. He got jabbed in both arms but didn't cry or make a fuss. He enjoyed picking his stickers after from the nurse and I took him to buy a little treat in the shop afterwards too so he was quite chuffed. Next time I will be at the surgery for vaccinations it will be with this little one, i still get anxious even though it's my third i just hate inflicting that pain on them :-/ but much easier when they are tiny as you can quickly feed them and they go off to sleep and forget about it real quick.
 
OMG Kezz I know what you mean! I took video of my DD getting her shots and it just hurts my heart. She was just laying there all content and then the silent scream of WHAT JUST BIT ME?! comes, poor weebil!!
 
Mason is having a party tonight holy rolling all over the place haha I have only gained 15 lbs dr said I should probably not gain much more because of the diabetes which is fine I dont want to gain much more. He is measuring right on with my first he was always ahead and I packed on 50 lbs so im glad this is going better. Im on two week apps too plus the diabetes specialist ugh I have a 2 hour clinic this friday for my monitor and such 2 friggin hours bah but hubby will be with me so it wont be too bad he comes to all my appointments which I appreciate and am thankful he can manage his own work schedule to make that happen because i forget everything haha
 
Went to maternal fetal today... Immy weighs 2lbs15oz and she 15in long... Yay 75th percentile..
 
That's great Jays baby!

Pink - glad the diabetes is going okay - hopefully the diet won't be too annoying either - and not too long to do it now.

Can't believe we are getting closer and closer! I think I'm 32 weeks today so 8ish to go!
Also got my whooping cough jab today too
 
The whooping cough was pretty painful for me too. And my injection site swelled up or a few days and stayed bruised for 2 weeks.

The nurse and midwife did say to me it's normal due to the fact that its a lot thicker liquid than most vaccines apparently.

My flu one I wouldn't even have known I'd had it but I felt the whooping cough go in. So I certainly believe its different.

Oh well. More than worth it to protect our babies.

I've got my 31w appointment this morning. Love my midwife so looking forward to it. :)
 
Good luck with your midwife appointment cupcake!!

Great news about baby's growth JaysBaby!

Ouch, the braxton hicks don't sound very comfortable foxy...I've noticed them on occasions, but they thankfully haven't been too bad for me yet!

The whooping cough vaccine was a bunch of poop to be fair...I couldn't sleep on my arm for like a week!! I should really have put more thought into which side I liked sleeping on before I got it done!

AFM: I feel so much more functional this morning...the fever/nasty first few days of the cold seems to have died down and I got a decent night's sleep last night...the only absolute killer now is the painful cough I've got...my throat is raw from the vomiting and coughing, and is giving me 24/7 heartburn :(

On the plus side, Jenson has been an absolutely crazy little bugger in there the last couple of days...my gosh, how can a baby move so much?! I always thought I had a really lazy laid back baby in there, but he seems to have really ramped up lately!x
 
The whooping cough jab is a killer!!!... i didnt realise just how much one teeny tiny injection hurts like hell afterwards... It pained for about a week or so after i had it done, thankfully i got it done in my left arm and i sleep on my right :)

Re the cloth nappies, i say you'll end up sticking with them more if you have never ever used disposables, because you have nothing else to compare too. I havent used nappies on my kids for years about 4-5 as my youngest toilet trained himself very early on. So im hoping i cant remember what it was like and so cloth nappying will be good for us lol... Ive also "Copied" the design off the Bum Genius BTP Nappy, i figured alot of parents rate them quite good, so thought ill make some exactly the same :)
 
Lovely to have you back Babee. :)

I got my WC jab in my right arm too, as I have to sleep on my left or else my ribs hurt too much.

Midwife went great, she is so lovely and chatty. I asked her where baby is and she's head down with her back along my left side and her bum up between my ribs.

Good news. :)
 
Good tips girls, I'll get mine in my right arm then!

Cupcake - great position, glad the appointment went well!

Off for a nap, DD has tonsillitis and DH still abroad, exhausted!
 
Ow :( I've had cramp running down the back of my right thigh from my bum to my calf for the last hour and it isn't easing!
 
Ouch lpjkp! Could be baby pressing on a nerve, have a walk about and see if you can get him to move xxx

Ooh ladies i thought my arm would feel bruised for a couple of days not a week! I should have asked for it in my right arm as im trying to sleep on my left side as much as possible so it's just another thing to to be cross about at night when trying to get comfy in bed.

Mightmom that silent scream they do when they get their jabs is the worse and when they look at you with sheer horror as though to say 'oh Mummy what have you done to me!' i was such a wimp with my first babies ever jabs and made my MIL come and hold him whilst he got them so he wouldn't associate me with the pain lol. They are still good friends now so i don't think it made much difference hehe. I have been brave ever since though and gone on my own but definately hate it with a vengeance apart from feeling v.lucky that we have access to such things.x x

Hope scan gos well today foxy <3
 
Thanks I had a nice hours sleep. Trying to actually sew the patchwork quilt this afternoon as my mums here with her sewing machine so just going to try to sew it now on that rather than by hand. I can't really be bothered, seems like a lot of effort but I know it will be worth it when its done! Everything seems like an effort at the moment though lol!
 
Can't remember if I posted my finished quilt?

I'm so pleased with it, can't wait to get the cot set up just so I can drape it over the edge for a week or two before she arrives and I have to take it off again! Lol.
