As for the fighting I understand about being upset when hubby doesn't want to feel the baby, I got mad about that recently too. Hubby gets so impatient that if he doesn't feel the baby kick in a minute he stops touching my stomach!

Just to be clear - we WEREN'T fighting ABOUT that... that was just one stupid thing he did that irritated me in the BEGINNING of the arguing! ... :0

Averies measuring perfectly with a healthy heartbeat, but my blood pressure was high at Fridays doctors appointment Instead of coming back in four weeks, the doc wants me back in 2. To boot, I gained 8 lbs in five weeks. I'm still on track overall because I'd only gained 3 lbs prior, but god I want to stay under the 200 lb mark. Blah!

Hi everyone hope you are all having a good weekend.

I have a stinking cold and feeling rough with it. Still struggling sleeping and not sure now if it is just the jet lag or some kind of insomnia!

Am hoping to drag DH out to look at travel systems this morning but he does not seem very interested!! But he is going to have to start taking an interest if he knows whats good for him!

Also at 24 weeks today think LO is now viable!!!

 

[Windmills]

Happy viability day CG

Happy viability day CG

thanks Katie_xx meant to say in my previous post that it is good they are monitoring you so closely. Fingers crossed everything is ok!

 

[Windmills]

Thanks
I can't believe how fast time is going, have the first of us started moving over to third tri? That's so scary.

morning!

logan i have times like that with my OH where something is just niggling me about him and we end up bicering about everything! lol

babyhope your lucky your LO sleeps all the way through, Sophie goes to bed fine at around 8-9 on weekends but on school nights its around 7:30 (proabably why shes awake at 6am!) its just when she wakes up is a pain atm, normally doesnt bother me but im feeling so tired all the time atm. last night was another good night! not sure if its cos we pretended to rub in some of the deep heat stuff on her ankle, which she sprained in school lol.

pretty much a lazy day for me today, il attempt to go for my shower in the next half hour then its ironing day i think. then time for jack bauer and the new season of 24 on sky one tonight! cant wait!

 

[LogansMama]

DW - Glad to hear Averie is doing so well! I hope when you go back your bp is better. Take it easy in the meantime!

Cactus - I hope your cold goes away quickly. Good luck finding a travel system. Thats such a hard choice - what do you like vs can afford etc.... My advice is to go as lightweight as you can. Those infant seats get heavy once you put the baby in them! And congrats on V-day!

Katie - I'm not sure if I'm technically in 3rd tri not or yet... It says 2nd is up to 26 weeks, and 3rd is 27 on.... Right now I'm 26+1, so I GUESS I'm in 3rd tri? (since I've STARTED my 27th week?). WOWZERS. I haven't made the move official yet though... but I have been lurking in there.

 

[jolou]

yep technically from wednesday onward i guess im in my 27th week....some of the threads thats on there i cant relate to at all at the mo so feel a bit weird in there but i have been lurking hehe

i have just had my lunch of steak, chips and veg and it was yummy altho i still need something else to eat and no idea what, i fancy something sweet with custard but i only have the custard im in no state to be going outta the house today my hair is a mess and im in the scruffiest clothes ever lol il have to make do with craving it me thinks!

i told mark this morning that we only have 101 days till due date soo we have under 100 days till my c-section (still dunno date) lol he said i cant remind him as he has sooo much study for his CIPD he needs to finish before then lol

I know what you mean, I have been peeking in to third trimester but they all seem sooo much farther along! I am excited to get there cuz that means baby is coming sooner but I am so glad we move our May thread too, cuz I really love the May thread!

 

[hope&faith09]

Ahh i thought I still had two weeks till third tri but i guess its just over one week! Thats a bit scary! Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend. we are still sorting the new house is starting to look good but so much to do before may!

Anyways off to watch wild at heart! I love this programme on a Sunday night!

 

[LogansMama]

I'm getting so anxious for my appt on Tuesday! I feel like its been a long time since my last checkup! Really its only been a month - which is normal - but it FEELS long!
Between my normal appts, specialist visits, and a sick visit, most of my other appts have been much less time in between visits!

Anyhow - I know baby is okay - cause I can feel him moving lots... but I still look forward to hearing the heartbeat, and getting reassurance from the doctor that all is well. I also have my glucose test - which I'm NOT looking forward to - but at the same time, am somewhat excited about? Is that weird????

I'm also anxious to get my BP taken - curious as to what it is. Usually I'm very low - but I have this feeling it will be higher this time.... And I'm curious about the swelling I have - and if my pee will be normal this time.... I guess the swelling I had the other day (even though its much better now - its still there a little), has made me a bit nervous. Just really hoping all this is not the start of toxemia!

And I want to ask about the groin pain I've been having too....

I'm pretty sure its all normal stuff - nothing to concern myself with - but I'll feel better once the doctor says it!

So - thats all for me for now! Hope you are all well.

Hi there, I cant wait for my appt on Weds, its only been a month for me too but it feels like forever. Just want reassurance that everythings ticking along as its meant to! I'll be a bit embarassed too though, I burnt my stomach with the side of the iron the other day and it looks like I've been slashed. Serves me right for ironing in my undies x

OUCH!

Ouch! That sounds awful!

I have an appointment Wednesday too and it does feel like it has been a long time, 4 weeks! I am excited because at my last appointment dr. said it looked like a boy but that he couldn't confirm it til my next appointment...so I am dying to find out! I feel like I can't buy anything or help my mom plan the baby shower or think of names because I don't know what it is for sure! HE BETTER TELL ME!!!!

I am a little nervous about the glucose test, when I had my son six years ago I didn't mind the drink and I passed, but this time I am much heavier and I am scared I will fail and then have to go on a diet...omg I can't even imagine going on a diet pregnant!!!!

 

[LogansMama]

I do remember thinking the drink was gonna be really horrible last time, and then it wasn't AS bad as I imagined it would be. I had orange last time, this time my drink is red.... Feeling a little nervous about it! LOL. I hope it doesn't make me puke. And I REALLY hope I pass so I don't have to do the 3 hour test.

 

[abz]

what is this glucose test you guys are talking about? do we do it in the UK? haven't heard of it before...

well i was off work at the end of last week as morning sickness came back with one hell of a vengeance. started feeling better on saturday. it was my birthday yesterday. was sick again after my birthday dinner last night and i'm gagging at work this morning but didn't feel i could take any more time off really. especially given i went out for dinner for my birthday, ha. ah well. i'm 27 now. feel like i've made the transition from 'young' to 'getting older' ha. maybe being pregnant has helped that. you can't help you feel more adult when you are married with a kid on the way somehow...

sorry i haven't been able to do individual replies but there was so much to catch up on!!

abz xx

 

[malpal]

Aw abz sorry your feeling horrid. And on your birthday! Hope you feel better soon hun xx

In the UK we only have the glucose intolerance test if anything is picked up in the urine tests at the mw's, or i believe if there is a certain history of diabetics in the family.
Logansmama... you bought back horrid memories ofthe start of my toxemia which start at 28 weeks with my daughter. I am hugely paranoid about my bp because like you normal have really low bp. At my booking appt my bottom line was only 50, so when i had my fall and it went to 85, for me that was high. Thing is i think if the mw's don't look back and check then how the helll is she suppose to know if it's normal for me.

I am having a huge amount of movements now and i can now distinguish between each twin, so i feel so relieved now that i can definately feel both.

I am now having a long wait for my tesco shopping to be delivered, suppose to be between 11-1, but i have just used the last teabag, i only have enough milk for Lexie 's cereal and no bread! And i'm starving !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have good days everyone xxxx

Oh Jolou did you sort out your cot hun????

 

[jolou]

morning all.

my next appointment to be checked over isnt untill the 1st march so its a 5 week gap, i have my glucose test the week before but they dont do a check up then i dont think, i got told to make my normal app with my MW a week after having it, they do it slightly different here, i have to have bloods done first, then that sugary drink, wait 2 hours then bloods done again. ergh so boring but OH has taken the whole day off to come keep me company lol.

whats this groin pain your talking about logan? the reason i ask is i have this pain around that area too, its more like a dull ache, as if i have had lots of sex or something lol sorry slightly graphic but thats the only way to describe it, when i get this pain/ache i cant cross my legs without it aching! so annoying.

malpal, no we didnt, i ended up going out with all the girls in my family there was me, sophie, mum, my aunt and my 2 cousins james and becky (i say the girls, james has always gone out with us so its like he is one of us! think he glad im having a boy so he has another in the family lol) my sister was working so she missed out had a lovely day then went out for dinner with OH and sophie, my sis came round in the evening which was nice but i always end up watching reallllly dodgy stuff with her on sky, i wont go into details but one show had a section about "chicks with dicks" that was an eye opener!
We do know what got we are getting tho! its the one from ikea in the darker wood (think the one u have for lexie) we were going to go for the white cot as our bedroom furniture is white and he will be sleeping in our room until he is 1 (hopefully we can afford to move by then) but then we thought i wouldnt choose to do his own room with white furniture so why buy a white cot just so it matches our room, especially when it can be used as a bed for a small while. Another thing that sold it for me was i remember the exact range when Sophie was born (i would have bought it back then but already had her nursery done) so i know ikea must keep this range a while since its already been 5 yrs or more lol so will be easier to do his room up to match.

mmm not sure if i made sense there!

Mark and Sophie both seen bubs move last night, he was proper giving it some in my stomach and they thought it was hilarious...yea you try having your insides kicked like a football lol

Ok i now need another bowl of ready brek, no idea whats up with me atm i cant get full!
