Naughties by Nature

ok then they weren't movements I felt, no idea what they were, probably streching...
....but I did feel her this morning, was stood at a checkout queue and felt like a butterfly going hell for leather at the top of my pelvis

Thats great news!! Must be so nice to feel her moving and now everything is ok

YAY for movements!!!

 

[Freyasmum]

I had an incident at the checkout the other day too... although mine wasn't quite so exciting.
The woman behind the counter asked if I was expecting twins!!!
Honestly. I know I'm bigger than I was with Freya, but twins????

I think it's been a while since I really updated in here... things have been progressing nicely. Stinky is doing well, although is measuring quite big. This would scare me were it not for the fact that I'll be having another section. Saw my mw on Friday, and she's a little concerned about diabetes. I had to go do the glucose challenge on Saturday. I really hope everything's OK there. My dad has type 2 diabetes, and I am overweight so I am at risk of it... A friend of mine was told her second baby was measuring big though and she ended up being smaller than her first, so I'm hoping it's just a measuring error. Apparently it's harder to get accurate measurements this late in pregnancy. We'll see.

I've got a date for a hospital appt - 29th March. That won't be when they do the section, but it will be when I find out when it will be. I'm hoping for the week after Easter.

And that's about me, really. We're starting to get more prepared for Stinky's arrival, although I've just realised this morning that we don't have drawers or anywhere to put his clothes. Hmmm...

at ur checkout incident (although I'm sure I won't be giggling when it happens to me)

I'm hoping that we will be able to crack on with painting our room this weekend, then we just have to touch up the spare room for baby.

After a good day yesterday I was bought to ground rather suddenly as DH was told that his friend and colleague had had a little boy yesterday, bought it home that I would only be a few weeks behind them with Archie, I think I am in for a tough few weeks/months as my sister is due in the middle of May too... just when I think it hurts a little bit less

 

[topazicatzbet]

it must be hard but ust keep thinking of your healthy bean growing inside you.

not long now freyasmum. exciting news that you ll have a date soon.

raz do we have any pics of your sticks you know how we all like to look at them.

afm. im having a night mare sorting out a royal mail cock up. i ordered a suit for callum from e bay and it still hasnt arrived. it was def sent as the woman has sent me a pic of proof of postage, but she doesnt seam that keen to chase it up. i ve e mailed her saying she has to fill in a form to claim compensation then she will have to reinburse me.
i ve had to order a new suit for him (although i like the new one better and the other one would have prob been too big)

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

I am sure when something similar happened to me I ended up sorting it out, think I got the proof of postage sent or copied over to me...

hope u get it sorted Beth

 

[Razcox]

Mum2bewaiting - Just try to focus on the sticky bean you have now, it will get easier in time esp when you have a lovely healthy baby to hold. Things happen for a reason i truely believe that xx

Well here is a pic of the CB digi i did the other day:

Just got back from the doctors and my EDD is 06/11 so they have moved me forward a week. Guessing i will be put back a week at my scan though so i am going to keep two tickers for a bit to keep track of both dates.

 

[topazicatzbet]

woo hoo fab pic.
love the new tickers and sigs.

Morning Ladies:

Well all is well my sister is now out of hospital (altho she see's a doctor every day so they can do her injections) and she's recovering which is a big releif!

Congrats to Razcox it's nice to have you back,

Its nice to have so many of us back in one place at last!

Orry is doing fab, he has started to do his own little chat and you think it was the best thing in the world as he doesn't stop talking bless.
Nick's on his Annual skiing trip so it's just me and the LO's until sunday, the first day i was knacked but i think i'm getting better at doing it by myself, but i have 6 days left so time will tell, the twilight books are keeping me entertained tho and you can't imagen what i think of the lead Edward Cullen (well if any of you girls have read it you will have the same images as me i think).

I'm so sorry it's not much of a update but i have a million and one things to do before Orry wakes up

love you all lots x x x x

 

[samzi]

hey ladies.

raz - congrats again - great digi

mum2b - great news on feeling movements, isnt it wonderful

Issy got weighed yesterday and she is now 7lb 6oz! very proud mummy here!!

 

[Razcox]

Tori - I love the twilight books!! I also love the films and think they did a really good job of converting them to film. Edward is the best and does make the odd guest apperence in some of my less clean dreams!! LOL

Samzi - Glad the littleun is doing so well, she looks lovely xx

It is nice to be in one place again and with each new sympton the slightly bittet cynical side is getting less and less. For some reason i just have a great feeling about this bean. Last time i couldnt get past this feeling of dread the whole time. I am going to trust my gut and try to enjoy it, afterall stress is only going to make it worse and if anything is going to happen there is nothing i can do about it now!

 

[topazicatzbet]

glad your sis is on the mend tori.

well i went and got my hair cut today ready for sunday, and im so not impressed, i told her i wanted it above the shoulder, where is it?? below the shoulder but at a stupid length where it sits on the shoulder and flicks up.

they had only booked me in for a trim as well where as i wanted some layers put in, what a waste of money, wish id been brave enough to say something.
so im going to mums tom morning and her hairdresser is gonna come over and cut it again for me.

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

if u want a hairdresser Beth I can recommend a friend, who will do it at her house very reasonabley

It is good to have u back Raz, now we just need Jenny and mammawannabe

Will I think I felt movement again this afternoon, it wasn't as definate as Sunday's, but it was more a brief light floaty feeling (what they really class as quickening I guess )

 

[topazicatzbet]

oh that would be good mum2 be. my mums is a mobile hairdresser but she isnt really up on modern styles. most of her clients are the blue rinse brigade.
so im being brave tom and giving her a go.

yay for more movements.

 

[samzi]

anyone heard from msmith? im guessing she is busy with her little one. hope shes ok!

 

[topazicatzbet]

no we havent heard from her in a while. hope all is ok.

Hi Ladies

Glad everyone is well I've been having a major case of late baby blues over the last couple of weeks so sorry I havent been around much. Ever since Zara had the UTI she has been pretty miserable and I have been getting really down about it, she spends most of the day whilst daddy is at work screaming herself hoarse and there is nothing I can do about it. At least she is still sleeping at night and when daddy gets home I get a bit of relief but it's been so hard.

I feel awful as I miss my old life, it's been so long since I've seen any old friends or done anything for me, I just feel like a full time carer and that I've lost my identity and as much as I love Zara to pieces, I can't help feel sad that I no longer really know who I am anymore. I finally broke down on DH the other night and I think it hit him how hard it is for me with no family or close friends within a 200 mile radius, a difficult baby and nobody to turn to when I need a break during the day

I hate describing Zara as difficult as she is a star for sleeping and is such a sweetheart but by lunchtime I end up dreading the rest of the day as I know we are going to have the usual routine of screaming, not eating and refusing to sleep for the rest of the day. Yesterday by 8pm she had only had 2 feeds as she had got herself so worked up. Her scan appointment is 6th April so there is nothing I can do for now except just sit with a screaming baby all day - she doesn't have a temp and seems fine in every way she just gets herself hungry and tired and fights it so much she just screams and screams until she is exhausted. I hate admitting it to people so I just keep posting happy posts on facebook and telling everyone how great it is that she sleeps at night etc but I daren't admit that most afternoons are spent with me in tears watching her screaming as all else has failed

Sorry moaning session - I just needed to get it off my chest. Right now I think I'm going to put plans for baby 2 on hold as I'm considering going back to work (to a job I absolutely hate) and putting Zara in nursery as I just don't think I'm cut out to be a good mum

 

[Razcox]

Blondie - I am so sorry you feel so down about things, i do however think this is a normal feeling to have when the life you have changes so drastically so quickly. Is there a baby group you can go to? That way at least you can get out the house and meet some adults. I would also advise to have another chat with the doctor to make sure this isnt the start of post natal depression hun. Remember you are not alone and we are all here for you, maybe not in person but certainly in spirit

AFM- Feel much better today with regards to MS, woke up and the 1st thing i did was take my temp and then nibble on some almonds. This seemed to help settle my tummy before it could get too upset. I also went to bed early and had a full nights sleep which seems to have helped a lot. Got some HB and my nipples refuse to go down though so i still have some reasurring preggers feelings. The pulling and cramps seem to have eased off as well and the FRER i did this morning the 2nd line appeared 1st and was much darker then the control line

 

[topazicatzbet]

blondie hun, you are fantastic,mum, any one would struggle to cope with a screaming baby all day.
lets hope the scan can find something easy to fix.

you have my mobile number ring me if you feel so down during the day. i can give you my house number as well if you like.
it must be so hard not having any family or close friends near by, i certainly wouldnt cope with out mine.

have you spoken to your health visitor about it all?

its probably a good idea to put baby number 2 on hold, at least for a few months til zara is more settled.

 

[Mum2bewaiting]

Blondie, as the girls have said, U are doing fab, Zara has had a really nasty infection, so things are bound to take a while to settle, U are a fab mum though, U can see that be the posts u write on here and and the pics of Zara.

Beth, she can generally do mondays to wednesday's when U are next due for ur hair doing let me know and we will sort something out, we'll arrange it for when I'm about so I can callum and her LO babysit

AFM have planned to start mat leave at 37 1/2 weeks on the 2nd Aug with 2 weeks annual leave before this
