Im doing ok, i hope that doesnt happen to me, that i get to about 35 weeks and then split! I lather myself in oil at the moment, im like an oil slick, but i guess you'll get them if youre going to

i had a mad evening with baby b!, he just didnt stop moving!, if he wasnt kicking or proding he was rolling back and forth, from the time i stepped in the bath at 8pm till the time i went to bed at 11, i didnt even have anything sugary!. then he stopped, and went to sleep, then i woke at 7.30 needing a wee and he started up again at 8!.(does this mean baby will be good and sleep durring the nights!!!?).

wondering what deliveries might arrive today!

all my camera equiptment is flying off ebay on buy it nows/or best offers,, so pleased, getting more for it than the camera shop offered me.

 

[gilz82]

Good news about your camera stuff Madcat

I'm sooo tired today I've been up since half 3 just couldn't sleep and my hips are so sore. Feel like I could be quite crabby today

Does anyone have anything nice planned for new years eve?

 

[molly85]

Morning/afternoon, I slept some how. woke up around 5am for the loo but been ok. Curry tummyis not happy but managable lol.

Sleep goooood. I have had stretch marks for years but loads of purple ones was unnerving.

right girls without a pram or car seat I have a voucher from boots. it gives 20% off prams and car seats if you def spend over £75 at once I can give u the Code or you can apply yourselves to join the parenting club. might be useful for when some one wants their own car seat as a few are compatable with our pram. i will prob do a little ohot shoot with it tomorrow.

Matt said I have a scan today, how did I not know

I hope your all ok and still enjoying pregnancy.

Just want to say Happy V-day for yesterday to everyone due on 21st April!

Im going for a bath now and getting ready to go to my sisters for NYE i doubt i'll make it to 12 as i could easily sleep now

Happy New Year to you all and we'll all have babies to look forward to next year

xx

 

[madcatwoman]

happy new years Tas!

Gilz, suprisingly my hips didnt wake me up till about 6 or 7 am this morning!, but as a rule theyre pretty bad. ive been sleeping on 3 pillows the length of my body, but they fall out of the bed eventually!, im waiting for a long body pillow from ebay to arrive.

and another delivery today, the moses basket arrived, complete with bedding. You would think Next would just deliver it all in one go really.

nothing much planned tonight, just a cosey night in, DH bought pringles and chocolate fingers for us to to munch on this evening. i was never one for pub get togethers though,just not my thing, the best new years was probably the night we stayed at the hilton tower in manchester, magnificent views of the sky line at midnight and a lovely dinner.

Hello! Our friends have just left and DH is putting Byron to sleep. Been a nice day but I'm tired and have jobs to do. Going to sit a while first. Have to change all our bedding, put a wash on and do my final assessment for this module of my course, technically due today.

Glad you slept ok Molly.

Madcat your bean could be jiggling while you're asleep. Sometimes with Byron DH would wake in the night and spend a little time feeling him jiggle while I was asleep.

My wrap arrived today. Looks pretty good and a lovely turquoise colour. Waiting for the raincover and yesterday we ordered a new microwave we've needed for yonks.

Our plans for new year are to try and stay awake til 12! Lol. I don't often bother with new year, we never did growing up. I think I might have a glass of port though as I've still not got round to that!

 

[sequeena]

I'm covered in stretch marks, they're not a bad thing. Happy new year girls xxx

 

[gilz82]

We're going to the pub for nye. We're going with my OHs mum and her partner, one of our friends and two of my sisters.

I honestly couldn't see it far enough, it doesn't start til 9pm and I'd quite happily be in bed by then if I had a choice. Hopefully everyone won't want to stay til it finishes at 2am as I have to drive some people home.

Don't have any new stretch marks yet but I'm bound to get them, I got them all over my sides when I got fat and then lost weight. This time I have to admit I don't really care they are for the baby.

 

[madcatwoman]

true peanut, he might still be jiggling then, although i know hes not when i wake first thing

yes i must also remember to get a raincover!!. glad youre getting a new microwave though!........remember the days when we didnt even have microwaves?(or am i showing my age?)

and talking of hips gilz, lol, mine has just gone numb again!. been out helping DH do things in the frong garden, think ive been on my pins for too long.

 

[PeanutBean]

Oh madcat rest up now! Yes I well remember about microwaves. A thread about uni fees a while back had someone saying some relative didn't even have a microwave when he went to uni in the 90s. Made me laugh both that not having one could now be seen as a sign of poverty and the fact that loads of people didn't have them then. As a family we got our first when I was about 16 or 17 so mid to late 90s and we weren't singleton students!

Our old one broke a few months ago and we scavved as ancient Bush one that had been my sister's and it's totally rubbish. Doesn't alternate the microwave levels, always on full, and the clockwork timer tends to never turn off if you only set it for a short time and is inaccurate if you set it longer. Annoying as we used to heat Byron's milk 40 secs for it to be perfect so we have to stand and count! Anyway new one is Panasonic and digital so will be lovely.

Our washer is sorted now too. Turns out the electrics had got full of condensation. We dried it out and it was fine so hopefully since I've plugged the holes in the utility there won't be so much of a problem in future.

I tried my wrap a bit, it's sooooo long!! But when wrapped all round it does need to be that long. Need to do it properly and shove in Byron's baby or maybe my nephew tomorrow!

Any news from Molly? x

i think i must have been about16 odd when my family had a microwave y'know!, i asked DH about this, and his family had one alot earlier than that, his family were better off than ours!,just goes to show. I also remember having a chip pan too!!.

well, we have a bottle warmer(+bottles)in with our sterilliser package, so im hoping that will do us proud rather than the microwave. All water for bottles has to be boiled first though doesnt it,i guess you always have to make sure theres a full pre boiled kettle available, or jug, ready to do babies bottle.

Anyway, i hope everyone has a nice evening, im off for a bath, then we're going to break open the chocolate fingers and the pringles together!
Happy New Year everyone x !

 

[PeanutBean]

Happy new year everyone!

Enjoy your snacks madcat. I really can't remember how to do bottles! Lol We mostly warmed expressed milk and then cow's milk when he was older.

Loopy there's no news and now you mention it I think the scan was at 2pm so that's ages ago! I hope they've just gone out shopping after, she might not have Internet on her phone. Hope all is well...

:wave: Ladies,

Well I def thought Molly would have updated by now and of course again I will have predicted right LMAO..... My colleague at work had her this morning by planned c-sec....6lb 20z a little man Both Mummy and are well

I have been working today BUT I did a really silly thing Me and my colleague scrubbed the floors with bleach and because the area isnt as well ventilated as it could be we have been suffering all day from sore red swollen eyes I went for a sleep thinking resting my eye would make it better and boy was I wrong They are watering immensely though so both me and David think this a good thing....I wont be doing it again thats for damn sure

madcat some more of my Next goodies for Charlie came again today....so the delivery people have been here everyday for the last three days now I bet their sick of delivering my stuff in dribs and drabs AND I got a dispatch email saying my britax is on its way to store

Great news about the camera fetching cash madcat

Peanut am wondering if its possible MS can resurface I am relatively bug free now except the sore eyes and sinus sniffs from my bleach attack however this morning I had some cereal about 6.15am before DH took me to work....a very small bowl one of Olivers food bowls tbh so not alot but with the dizzyness I was going with the theory `eat little and often` and cause my break is about 9.30-9.45am I wanted to eat a little summat WELL 5mins later full on retching fit and up came my cereal even DH is starting to feel sorry for me He stood rubbing my back bless him whilst I threw it back up

 

[vbaby3]

Madly it really can. I don't think it's that uncommon for it to return in third tri. I guess once again we're the unlucky ones! Past few days I've been having to sit down panting so close to being sick have I been. I think it's only a matter of time. Silly bleaching lady! I hope your eyes cheer up soon.

I think my girl is enjoying all the noise from Laputa (another Gibli far more scary but Byron is quite fine about). She is jiggling so ferociously it might make me vomit by itself.

It was horrid poor me and you Peanut David woke me in night by re-arranging his pillows and whilst laid down I had a light headed dizzy episode and was fighting off the urge to be sick then I took some deep breaths and thankfully warded if off but not this morning Hon you should see my eyes they are really irrated I was exposed for about 90mins which seems to have really fooked my eyes NEVER AGAIN!

 

[PeanutBean]

Have you bathed them in salt water? It migh help soothe them. Cooled boiled water is best.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Funny I was going to do the `head over steam bowl towel on head` thingy I dont want it to get any worse though or am afraid I might be spending the rest of NYE in casualty

 

[PeanutBean]

Well the salt water can't make it worse but might offer some relief. Use a shot glass if you've no eye bath!

It can last such a long time feeling sore can't it? I hope it eases off soon. Are you able to sit with your eyes closed for a while? That'll probably help a bit too.

You know I'm feeling pretty jolly about having this little girl and the year I get to spend with my two kiddies.
