Oh Madcat that machine in the supermarket will steal a percentage of your pennies! I'm so sad when i empty our copper jar i count them all and take them to the bank myself

Hi girls!!Happy 3rd tri madcat and peanut!!!
Happy new wks everyone else!!
Anyone getting period type cramps?I'm getting them a lot and lower back pains aswell.
My bump is rock hard now if i'm standing,and the skin is stretched to the limit!

Well today I brought shay back to school and had to leave him there crying
They would have rang by now if he wasn't ok,so presume he settled.
Hate leaving him like that but he'd think he can come home anyday if I gave in and brought him back home.Breaks your heart though.

Have to bring my car for a service later on,great fun,sitting in a stinky garage with 2 kids for an hr and a half!!

Madly hope your gtt went ok.x

 

[gilz82]

I've been getting period type pains Vbaby, more uncomfortable than hugely sore. I reckon the jellybean is just going through another growth spurt.

Glad that Shay is a bit better, even though he wasn't happy about going back to school this morning

 

[vbaby3]

I remember getting these period pains with oran too,from 28 wks or something.
I was thinking he was gonna come early coz they were quite bad,like early labour for me,but no!!he was 4 days late!!

 

[gilz82]

I actually quite glad they won't let me go late because of my kidney, i honestly don't think i've got the patience for it. I'm sooo impatient now and i'm only 23 weeks

 

[vbaby3]

tell me about it gilz!!I was really patient with my 1st 2,prob coz I was shitting it!!
But i'm really impatient this time.Think its coz its my last,I just want my body back NOW!!!

 

[gilz82]

It's funny cos i think as the weeks pass the impatience is actually getting worse! At first i was so desperate just to get to 12 weeks and then 20 but now i just want my baby please i thought as the weeks passed i'd get mellower but apparently not

 

[vbaby3]

New bump pic
Ist 1 is 20wks,2nd 1 is 27wks
I don't think there's a huge difference!

 

[vbaby3]

I think it gets worse until you hit 38wks,and then you start panicing!!
You might have your baby before all of us so you might not have too long to wait!
I'm resigned to the fact she'll prob be a few days late like the other 2,so 13/14 wks to go!
Is it freezing there??
Its minus 7 here today,scared our waters gonna freeze up again

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I'm not feeling the best and OH asked me to watch our niece this afternoon I'm not sleeping at night again cause OH is tossing and turning like mad! ARGH! I could kill him!

 

[gilz82]

Lovely bump Vbaby, it doesn't look greatly bigger maybe just a little higher if you know what i mean. I'll need to take a picture when i go home cos i do actually have a bump now but it's really low down!

It's freezing here too, was -5 when i drove to work this morning and i don't imagine it's heated up much while i've been in the office. Hopefully your pipes won't freeze again, have you tried leaving a tap in the kitchen or the bathroom on slightly overnight as that's supposed to help stop the pipes freezing.

 

[madcatwoman]

thats a good looking bump there vbaby, nice and high too, mines low(feels like it might fall out come evening time!).

I know gilz, the machine does take a percentage but you wouldnt believe how much change DH saves up, put it this way- it hadnt been cashed in since before i met him!, 7 years ago, i just couldnt go thru with sorting that much into seperate bags. Anyway, it came out with just over £60.00

baby B has taken his cut, - see photos...

god im so impatient too, i want my baby now as well, im ready to be 37 weeks or so. patience has never been my strong point

 

[vbaby3]

Yes gilz,I think I'll leave a tap running at night for nxt few days til it gets a bit milder.
Thanks girls,I think I carry high with all mine,so the old wives tale definately isn't true for me.
Yay gilz,you have a bump now!you starting to feel movement yet?won't be long now til you do!
Madcat,your lovin the baby shopping,its great fun isn't it?!!
Off now to collect shay and then bring car down for a service,boring!Will bring some chocolate to keep me and my boys busy!!x

 

[PeanutBean]

I spy jellycat!

 

[madcatwoman]

I spy jellycat!

ha!! yes, theyre from a nice garden centre that has a young childrens section...but most of what they sell is very olde worlde like kids toys and things use to be(not high tech). I saw these which i thought would be perfect for strapping onto the bouncer or pram and then noticed the label was Jelly Cat!

:wave: Ladies,

Well I had my GTT and am back home now and DH has gone to work

I was so nervous this morning and felt as soon as I woke up I kept telling myself it would be ok and hey I think it worked I got to the clinic at 8.20am and I was the first which was great I had my bloods taken and then was given the polycal I eyed up the cup with fear and thought I was going to be before I even let the cup touch my lips however I decided I was going to throw the whole cup back in one big gulp as quick as I could and risk been because I felt like I was going to be anyway I think it helped that the drink was chilled (last time it wasnt!)Well 5mins after I had the drink I began to feel ok and by the time DH got to me about 9.20am (he did the school run!) I felt ok At just after 10.30am I returned for the second blood test and was told they will write to me in the next few days with the results. So we grabbed sandwiches on the way home as we were both starving and then DH left for work. Am resting up on the sofa now before I do the school run about 2.15pm however I admit to have a dicky feeling tummy sort of a cross between wanting to poo really bad (but not been able to go when I go to the loo!) and wanting to be been is so not nice but I guess its better am now that its over with than whilst I had to wait inbetween the tests as that would have meant me having to do the whole fasting thing again and going through it another day

vbaby glad to hear your little man is well enough to go back to school...am sure he was fine Oliver is funny like that too after hes been off ill or off for the school hols he gets really clingy Love the bump can def see a difference

madcat we take our coppers to one of those machines too...The bank gets really funny about taking coppers these days and tbh I cant be bothered sitting and counting it Our pot holds about 40.00 and its getting nearly full so will probably be our time to do it as well soon

pink goodluck with the move...I got sofiekirsten wrong too and may not have loopy right

Did I forget anyone Damn baby brain!

Well they say after the GTT baby may become quiet well I think the sugar drink gave Charlie an energy boost causes hes never stopping kicking all morning the little monkey

Madly get yah head out the toilet it's all over no more GTT now

Oh matts agreed to come to naturalbirthing classes, still want to know when i can speek to an anethetist about pain relief for opiod tolerant freaks like me. I'm never going to push if I'm high as a kite and in pain.
