***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[mummy3]

The movements for me started out almost like cramps, the last couple of weeks though they have been distinct jabs, usually aimed at my bladder!

Lucky, you describe the uterus feeling really well, mine is about an inch below the belly button now, but this is #4 so normal. First baby, usually by 15 weeks its just below halfway between pelvis and belly button. Everyone is different though.

I will look into dyson then, I just figured a hoover is a hoover lol but yeah the grinding and smoke is not fun when it sucks up something it shouldn't.

The kids hairs are a bit haphazard, my son has a fear of haircuts so can't take him to a barber (last one refused to do it) so I had to hold him down and do the best I could It was getting in his eyes though so needed done! The girls are fine, eldest has a bob so not hard and youngest just had a quiff that went into her eyes, girls really enjoy it.

So my youngest decided to stop breastfeeding I was self weaning her so she could have carried on as long as she needed and I hoped to tandem feed but she has refused for the last few days so thats it until I feed #4

Also, UK ladies, I found a shop here to buy a terrys chocolate orange and it was $9

wow you ladies sure can talk i dont have time to sit and read it all at the moment as the kiddos are awake and driving me up the walls
my bleeding has stopped im still being very cautious as i've got no idea what caused it and i dont ever want to see it again! it lasted 4 days of bright red and brown, and yesterday was a little brown and today seems to be gone, so fingers crossed! my movement has gotten softer, but im putting that down to bubs position or something but still feeling it so that keeps me sane. ((my movement started as very faint flutters, now they are definate and i occasionally the small pokes along with the swishes. also at first it was only really noticable when i was putting pressure on my uterus, like lying on my belly, sitting, curling up on the couch, etc. now i can feel it laying my back and sometimes when im standing too)) i have a follow up scan on monday, then antenatal appointment on tuesday so maybe some answers and nuchal scan results too.
the boys had their first speech development appointment on Wednesday and are half way through the tests to determine exactly what's wrong and what we can do to help it. so im kinda of sick of seeing the hospital right now! we get paid today, and im so damn excited to RUN down there and buy some damn chocolate! i've been dying for some for days i was also dreaming about fried rice last night, so i know exactly what im making for dinner

lol a dyson is in a class of its own
its just really well engineered and designed smart.
Instead of burning through your belt when you suck up something you shouldn't that stops the brushes from spinning... it pops itself out of gear on purpose so the belt doesn't get burned out and it makes this loud ratcheting noise to alert you to the issue.
I can't say I'm a fan of the noise, but I'm still on my original belt and its been 7 years now I think!
I love that the hose was made long enough to reach to the top of most staircases... I love that there is no adjusting the brush height for different carpets, its designed so that its always right no matter how high your carpet. Super long cord is neat too.. I could go on and on and my friends have accused me of secretly working for dyson before, heeheeh

I have to say I'm super sad that their clothes washers aren't available here
And it sucks that their fans are SO expensive because they are just neat-o
I do love their hand dryers at the airport!!

Wow mummy, grinding and smoke? Thats scary! If you do get a Dyson they have AMAZING customer care.

My OH keeps saying that Dylan needs a haircut GRRR. My baby doesn't need a haircut thankyou and shall not be getting one any time soon!

Sorry your little one decided to stop BF'ing. I had to stop BF'ing when Dylan was 6 weeks old as no matter how much I fed/pumped my milk supply just wasn't enough

I am so proud of my little man, he tried ham for the first time ever today! He normally won't eat meat apart from sausages. He is finally coming along so well with his eating!

xxx

 

[Wiggler]

Ooh Lisa, I'm jealous, it would appear you have a better Dyson than me! Mine is at least 10 years old, its an antique now! Still running strong though and enjoying its new belt (new belts are soooo hard to put on!)

twinmummy - so glad the bleeding has stopped!

 

[lisaf]

aw, wiggler, I'm sorry your dyson isn't as fancy as mine, lol.. if it makes you feel better, they came out with the Ball design less than a year after I bought mine or so. I felt like I was missing out (though i don't know if I really like the ball thing, haven't tried it exactly).
I haven't had to change my belt yet, so I don't know how hard it is, lol!
I love how easy it is to get access to the brush though for when you do get hair and stuff wrapped up around it.
I wish it was better at handling the dusty kitty litter, lol... I don't think its really meant for that and litter dust is just clay dust...... I occasionally have to bang the canister to shake out clumps... maybe 2x a year, lol. Silly kitties need to stop tracking litter ALL over the carpet!

I was a super picky eater as a kid, lol! I wouldn't eat PB&J sandwhiches, tuna, or lunchmeat... I still don't like tuna or lunchmeat much

 

[Wiggler]

My kitten thinks its fin to flick all his kitty litter onto the floor, its disgusting!

This is the Dyson I'm getting next year

Right girls, yes or no to return to work today? I feel I should go as I have had two full weeks off since being pregnant, but feeling poo, but flappy. xx

 

[Wiggler]

Aww hun, If you are still feeling bad have another day off. Won't your doc sign you off? x

 

[24/7]

They just seem to have an obesession with pregnant people working.
Have got my consultant appointment next thursday, so will see what they say.... xx

 

[Wiggler]

Aww hun! ((hugs)) I can't believe they won't sign you off! I hope your consultant is a bit more understanding that your GP!

 

[24/7]

Can't really be any less understanding!!
Have ordered two christmas presents so far this morning, and am having a custom vest made hopefully to as a present for OH, saying my daddy is super cop, just waiting to hear back. xxxx

 

[Inge]

I had bad work news too yesterday. My contract will go from 32.5hrs a week to just 12hrs. Sat and sunday only. Im trying to haggle an extra day but not sure what will happen. Il try sign up to an agency next month get some extra money in

 

[meow951]

hopeful- I find if i lie down on the bed and suck my stomach in the top bit above my belly button goes in but the bottom bit of my stomach stays up and is really hard so i guess thats where my uterus is. I can't actually feel it but you can see where my stomach is hard. Perhaps you'll feel it in a couple more weeks.

Inge- Thats rubbish! Hope you sort something out x

I'm really sad my guinea pig isn't eating and is losing loads of weight. Shes gone into the vets this morning to see if its her teeth but i don't think it's that. I don't think she's going to be here much longer. I don't want her to suffer Shes got a lump thats not bothering her but needs removing, however i've told them that i don't want it removed if her teeth aren't causing the weight loss. I dont want her having bits chopped out of her if she's on her last legs. I think the vets think thats not the right thing to do but i know my pets!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Morning ladies

Hopeful.. I cant find my uterus ether, I do have a hard bit above my pubic bone I guess thats it, but I couldnt be sure lol I am starting to get firmer all round that area but my uterus isnt that big yet so it'll be all the other bits of me getting pushed up rather than being my uterus lol

I still cant be sure if Im feeling anything. I was feeling the most subtle of things last few days, but nothng really for 2 days so I dont know. Im 16 weeks tomorrow and this is baby #2 so I would have expected to feel something more definiate by now but I will wait it out

24/7 you wont be able to self certify sick leave until next Thursday, if you're not well enough for work you need to get something from the GP. If he thinks you are well enough to return to work ask him for a fitness assessment so he can identify duties you can do and things that your work cant make you do, lighten your load!!

Inge thats really rubbish, why have they cut your hours so much? Check your working rights hun. Do you have a union you can speak to?

Mummy I used to shave Joshua's hair off lol... now he insists I take him to the barbers lol think I used to go short... oops lol Sorry #3 has stoped BFing hun xxxxx

Meow sorry about your guinea pig hun! Hope the vet can help and fnd the problem!

As for me I have been NEEDING chicken soup since 10am this morning and it has just turned to lunch time here so Im off to get it lolol

 

[meow951]

new- I keep feeling 'something' but nothing definate enough to say yes thats baby. I can't wait for a proper kick!

 

[new_to_ttc]

I dont know why I thoght I would start to feel things hehe I was way passed 20 weeks with Joshua when I felt the first 'is that baby' movement and was 22-24 weeks when I felt the first proper 'yes thats baby' movement lol

I had my chicken soup now hehe Im stuffed lol I cant eat anywhere near as much food as I used to be able to lol

I keep feeling something in my left side. Just now it felt like something tense but I might just be hungry!
Basically the unit I work in isnt taking enough money in and wer spending more then we take so something had to give. Theres two chefs and Im the assistant to I was obviously the one who'd suffer. Its only a small staff canteen so Im not that gutted as its so boring not to have any work to do all day when its quiet. Hopefully we will be ok but we'll only take in around £1300 a month joint income so gonna be tough. We still ahve to try to get thw council to move on so im hoping we'll be ok. Why did everything have to go wrong when babys on the way?

 

[Soph22]

Morning (or afternoon) ladies-
Well, it's about 4:45 am here and I'm not happy to be awake, again. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm exhausted at night to where I fall asleep on the couch. When I get to bed I can usually fall asleep ok, but then wake up several times a night and not always to pee. The worst part is once awake I have a hard time getting back to sleep. Then of course later I'm exhausted because I was up so much and they cycle begins again. Don't want to keep my DH up and got bored laying there NOT sleeping, so thought I'd see if you ladies have any advice or at least can sympathize.

I've felt some "weird tummy sensations" but don't know that I'd officially call them movement yet, definitely excited for that!

BTW- we love our Dyson vac too! The hand dryers are amazing and I really want one of the bladeless fans!

 

[Inge]

soph - I get that sometimes. Its getting more often now. I lie in bed unable to sleep usually cos I keep thinking I need to pee but then the feeling goes and I cant settle I keep fidgetting too as I can only sleep on my left side but then OH puts his hands on my tummy and it gets uncomfortable and I cant sleep
