Reminds me how does 3rd stage go these shows never cover it

 

[PeanutBean]

I'd take an hour too but I think that'd be a bit optimistic!

Hope that was tv editing, looked like she was 3cm straight to section! Man that reaffirms my desire to never have a section.

I don't really remember my third stage. I was bleeding a fair bit from the episiotomy so I ended up having the injection. I was holding Byron and didn't notice any of it. I asked to see the placenta and had to get stitched up but a baby is a big distraction!

 

[gilz82]

There are stages? God I better actually read the gving birth section of my baby book

 

[molly85]

yup 1st is the 0-10 i think 2nd pushing and 3rd is the placenta. thats all funky monkey then. jeez i'd kick mr speedy out. cheese cake again yum

 

[PeanutBean]

Sorry I scarpered. Reached the bit I'd already see. And DH came in with tea so we opened a Christmas Eve prez then DH cleared some of Byron's toys ready for presents and started on setting up the Wii. I'm just in bed but very much need sleep. Nausea has been vast this evening.

Night night if there's anyone left and Happy Christmas for those who check in tomorrow!

 

[molly85]

[molly85]

ouch. dinner is a night time one for me. lol going to make pancakes american style in a minute with bacon. I'm starving.
Only I could get up sort laundry, put a load on and clean the bathroom on christmas day lol. Tried to avoid the queens speech no luck there. Doing matt a huge Fry upfor his brekky. He's not keen on Roast tho eats the lot when I cook then I am off to be stuffed like a pig at the parents.

Think I need a new razor head my knee is still hairy

 

[gilz82]

I'm stuffed too although my Christmas dinner consisted of potatoes and veg that was it

Have a huge bit of cheesecake waiting for me in the fridge though.

Happy Boxing Day!

I hope you a had a lovely Christmas (and birthday). We did. I managed to stumble downstairs for breakfast for once then we did prezzies. We all got some fab stuff. DH loves his new wrist things and he got me a beautiful Indian silk shawl (I've wanted a shawl for yonks as it gets so cold in our house) plus some books and DVDs. Our excellent friend who is so particularly good to Byron (the one I got the necklace for) bought me a lovely maternity top!! No-one ever vets me clothes and I hardly ever do and she picked such a nice top (green lacey from Next) so I had something to wear for Christmas! Byron has been taking his new baby around with him for breakfast and nap-nap changes and things with is seriously sweet. He had a gorgeous face on when opening it and first saw some toes, he knew it was a baby. He is in love with his new trains - he has a long suspension bridge and tunnel that makes sounds when trains go through; a Shinkansen and a battery powered train that goes round by itself plus some track pieces. My sister got him a kitchen sink you can even put water in and press a button to make it come out the tap. So many excellent toys for him.

We had dinner about 5pm so after DH had prepared all the veg I did the roasts and toad in the hole and cooked it all while he and Byron walked the dog. Of course like others I was so distressed by the kitchen that hasn't been properly sorted since I started with ms so I washed and tidied and scrubbed walls and the hob and cleared all the surfaces and took out the recycling. My back was killing me by the time everyone got home! Then I couldn't manage much so had a second dinner at 9pm!

We had a fun day and fairly relaxed. The best sort of Christmas!

 

[gilz82]

Sounds like you all had an excellent day Peanut.

Ours was pretty quiet, had breakfast at my
Dad's with his wife and two of my sisters then over to Marc's dads to drop off presents and then to Marc's mums for dinner.

We don't really bother with presents at Christmas for each other and since we've just bought the car that's our Christmas. But on a really good note Marc's dad gave us the money for our pram travel system so that means we can buy the nursery furniture we liked with the pram money we'd saved

It's weird though I did feel a bit blue last night, we were back home by 4pm, the tv was rubbish and Christmas felt as if it was over very quickly this year

 

[madcatwoman]

afternoon!!!!!

i feel so tired!, i was nodding off by 8pm last night.

had a good one, the turkey&meal was a success, DH spoilt me with lots of lovely sweet pressies.

Peanut, your LO sounds like he had an exicting day with those toys

some of our sale stuff is supposed to be delivered this week, we just started looking at the sterilisers/warmer kits in the toys are us sale on here, and cotbeds etc, we did say we would wait for the sales, and nows the time!.

gosh, 3 more days and its V-day for some of us!
then 3 more weeks and its 3rd tri for some of us!

 

[sequeena]

Few more weeks and I'll be in second tri, can't wait

 

[gilz82]

Sounds like you had a fabby day too Madcat. Yay on it being nearly v day. Can't believe I'm 20 weeks on Thursday. Parts of it have been soooo slow and other parts have been pretty quick.

Anyone got big boxing day plans or is everyone just resting today?

 

[madcatwoman]

no plans today gilz,which is good as i feel very tired today.DH is painting what will be the office(so we can free up the babies room) at the moment.

ive been told to order a half price sterilizer and warmer set from babies r us, so ive done that. so just a bit of online shopping for me.

 

[gilz82]

We gutted the house this morning, moved our bedroom furniture around and then emptied the spare room so we can start getting it ready to be a nursery.

We have at least a couple of big clear outs a year and it still amazes me how much crap we just threw out today. There are only two of us I had no idea where it comes from!!

 

[madcatwoman]

we still had crap to throw out after we threw the last lot out before moving!.

we're just waiting for the paint to dry, a new carpet for the office then we can move our office furniture in there and start on the nursery.

Just ordered our steriliser set,half price, and 4 anti colic bottles.

(i still cant stop staring at our pram)

going for alook round toys r us in chester tomorrow for a little day trip out.

 

[gilz82]

Oh that sounds good Madcat. Mothercare have quite a good deal on a tommy tippee steriliser set with the bottle warmer etc. I'm hoping it's still there on the 7th of january as we are going to go and get our pram and stuff then after our anomaly scan.

 

[Sofiekirsten]

Today my mum is traveling up from Reading with my step dad so I have cooked Turkey and Beef and we are going to have our 'Christmas Dinner' today

Turkey and beef are in and I am sooo looking forward to cooking all the trimmings

Got some lovely presents off DH which consisted of alot of soap and glory products, nicky clarke heated rollers and a Michael McIntyre book!

DH loves his present too which was a 142 piece tool set, he really wants to drill something but I won't let him until all the festive stuff is out of the way

Oooh better go and wash my hands again they stink of Lemon, Garlic and Parsley! lol

Enjoy your boxing day ladies!
