omg was thinking hmm wonder if it would be cheaper in the next county along, maybe not then lol lol lol! xkx

 

[molly85]

where are u nomore?

 

[PeanutBean]

My girl has legs! We've just been pushing against one another. Hands are always twiddly so I'm guessing this is knees. Byron's knees were always very noticeable. We had a photo of him about a day old still in what was his foetal position which was legs crossed like in school, so knees sticking right out, and hands up over his head which is why I got twiddles either side of me. Lol. Those knees!

On a different note I am definitely not right down there. Been using a thrush cream but made everything worse so I'm assuming not thrush. Still itchy and I think a bit swollen. Don't know what to do. Don't want anyone looking at me!

I'm guessing you've all gone to bed now. Not sure why I'm up so late. Guess because I accidentally watched Juno. Saw that for the first time last pregnancy.

 

[gilz82]

Aw Peanut hope you are feeling a bit better down below and yay for your girl having legs

Could you give your midwife a ring about the down below thing, maybe she'll have advice without you needing to see her if you explain you've already tried a thrush cream.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Oh no Peanut I agree with Gilz cant you ring your surgery or MW for advice please dont leave it over Christmas

Cant believe some place charge 180.00 for a 4d scan Molly Our is 110.00 which is a spesh Dec/Jan deal and it consists of two scans (one sexing and one bonding) although mine is going to be combined as I want Charlies sex to be def confirmed although his little willy was undeniable and we get colour and black/white pics and a dvd too...I think the whole thing is about 45mins/1hr long then when Charlies born a photo shoot in which we get a free large print to keep of our fav shot Should be over 250.00 individually which was why I jumped at the chance to book

Well am a papaya today and I notice you are too madcat

Happy Christmas Eve to all the grads and Happy New Year to anyone who may not be around in the next week or so I cant believe next year is the year in which our babies will be born

 

[PeanutBean]

Morning! I googled last night (I usually avoid doing this as it usually leads to fear of some rare and serious condition!) but it seems to be common and if not thrush down to pH changes which makes sense as it's worse with time from showering etc. Various recommendations including using aqueous cream which we have, I think the itching can be down to dryness. Sorry for all the tmi! ETA: it's also normal to be a little swollen during pregnancy.

Well I woke at 6. Boooo. Everyone was fast asleep in my bed so I couldn't do anything and just lay feeling hungry and tired. Didn't go to bed til midnight so I'll be knackered today. Oh well, DH intends to clean the house all day.

 

[madcatwoman]

Morning all!

where are you feeling your girls knees then peanut??...

as for the thrush thing, sometimes i wonder if i have it, but then i think no, it gotta be just discharge, i get the occassional itch down there, but not much, so im leaving it.

im very suprised, DHL are supposed to be delivering our pram and carry seat today, already!!!!, so it says on the track and trace!

Are all the grads with LO's looking forward to tomorrow morning,...i am!,
i cant wait to share it with a LO, i get so excited at christmas, i'll be able to pass the enthusiasm on to someone now!. the last christmas as a couple!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Peanut hon glad to hear you got some answers over your little problem (even if it was via google I also try to avoid googling )

Well I cleaned the house yesterday...every room....and have almost done all the washing (just need to bung my towels in the tumble dryer!) and I have only three of Olivers items to iron Then am done We are to be dressed and ready for about 1.15pm when DH gets home from work (hes on half day!) and then we will be going to MIL and Step-FILs with our Christmas gift and then we are dropping in on some elderly friends who dont know we are expecting again yet so that should be nice providing they are home and then I need to visit my nana with her gift but I rang her this am at about 8.10am to check she will be in and she had already left her place...goodness knows where she goes at THAT time of morning So will have to try her again later today and then last drop is with our god-daughters gifts however I think our friends may come to us as they are working until 5pm and also have lots of people to visit and then we are debating braving Asda as DH forgot to get himself some beer and we need to get a few bits we have forgotten I dont think it will be THAT bad but we will see

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Oh no madcat I am so jealous My buggy isnt going to be delivered until the 7th Jan now Mines going to store though so maybe thats why

and yes I am so excited about tomorrow morning....I CANNOT wait to see Olivers face when he opens his presents We got him (well FIL did!) the lego passenger train which is remote control and will probably take us all day to build It goes with the track and cargo train he already has and me and DH bought him the train station and all the other bits needed to complete the set Our coal cellar is rammed with bags and presents wrapped in shiny chrismas paper I cannot wait

 

[PeanutBean]

I've no funny discharge at all which is one reason I didn't think it was thrush but figured I'd try the cream just in case. I didn't have this with Byron at all but I reckon I did right after the birth. Thought it was thrush and tried two lots of treatment and they were agony! Made it so much worse then it just went after a few days. Perhaps I'll be prone to it now. Just another symptom to add to the list!

Boots post has been amazing madcat. I was actually thinking of emailing them with positive feedback it was so good! I need to order our raincover, a few new nappies and a sling today as I want them paid for before the vat. Good job we've not bought our bedroom carpet yet so have savings as I don't get my bonus til end of Jan!

Madcat I am super excited about tomorrow. Byron's birthday was so much fun and he has so many presents under the tree that I know he'll love!

 

[madcatwoman]

Awww, the excitement watching you LO unwrap his toys!!, i guess it would be another christmas after next maybe before my gets to grips with the whole christmas thing and excitement, but just to have him next year w ill be great, he'll be 8 months old.

it said on our email not to expect the pram before 6th jan, but the dispatch note was emailed last night and DHL says its out for delivery today!. OMG!, we're going to have a pram lol, how weird for us!!!

 

[PeanutBean]

Yeah ours was delivery by the 5th or we could book a delivery date but they weren't until after the 7th.

Byron is currently getting imaginary babies out of DH's slipper and picking up the washed pieces of his nappies to put together for the baby. Hole he likes the baby doll as much as he's liking pretending about babies.

 

[madcatwoman]

its probably not thrush peanut, esp if you dont have the discharge with it, my skin is VERY dry these days, flaky in places, it might just be that making you itch. i wouldnt put anything near there and see how you go. the only thing i do is put E45 bath emulent oil in my bath for my dry skin, and give it a good ole rub on my belly which is flakey.

you should both take some photos of your boys opening their presents so we can see!

peanut, i think our babies must be in very similar positions, because what i feel down low must be twiddly hands/elbows, when im in the bath the movements are considerable. i occassionally feel flutters up towards my ribs, which i assume are legs stretching occassionally.

 

[PeanutBean]

Oh madcat I forgot to answer your question. I felt her knees up level and and high than my belly button. She was crazy-go-nuts last night, DH got a really good feel for once and was totally amazed. This morning I dreamt about her doing some pretty freaky movements!

Oh and madly sounds like you've a super busy day! Hope it's not too tiring and everyone gives you hot drinks and biscuits.

 

[madcatwoman]

oh, thats where i feel the bathtime movements, up by my belly button area/either side, so maybe thats the knees i feel then.

every time i get DH to rest his hand on my belly, the movements stop!
the only thing he has seen is the doppler being bounced around on my tummy one morning when i left it there!

 

[molly85]

Madly it's the only reason you got the thing was to build it! You Big Kid!
Peanut Did a bigh post on your "issue" last night andpoof it disappeared. I'v had this a few times when not PG. Drying sounds right I think it is a Ph thing but not thrush it all gets a bit outta sink down there. try not to use soap or shower gel for a few days if you do use baby products whuch are the closest to water. Deffinatly try not to itch and maybe use some cream like savlon or aquease to moistion it up and reduce inflamation. I think I caught a pube or sumit last time and set the whole thing off eugh

 

[PeanutBean]

I used some savlon on and off and generally it did help a bit. Already using water to wash. I'm glad it's not infection and it never seemed like it was. Stupid pregnancy!

 

[madcatwoman]

can i just say ( because i dont know what our plans are for later), so i'll say it now, i hope you all have a fantastic christmas day, those of you with LO's already and those of us waiting for them and our last xmas's as a couple.
and thankyou for being good friends on here so far this year, listening to all our moans, growns and of course the funnier things we come out with!.
And may we all have an eventful 2011!!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Thank you madcat hon you too

Next year we will all have our hands very full

mmmmm also wondering if this means our buggy will come earlier It did say 7th Jan however ours is going to store which is 10mins drive away as I was concerned it would come whilst we may be out/at work iykwim...I suppose they probably get store deliveries between Christmas and New Year from warehouse or whatever so i guess its very possible
