Had my 2 week visit with the nurse practitioner today. It was nice because she seemed so much more relaxed and less rushed than my regular doctor!

I've gained 19 pounds so far, my BP is great, and the fundal measurement is 30.5. My platelets have dropped some during the pregnancy (booo!) but not enough to be a concern.

So, overall, a pretty good visit!

Got my flu vaccine, too. Ow, it hurt. If I'm this big of a baby about getting a flu shot (never gotten one before) I don't even want to think of how big of a baby I'm going to be during actual labor!

Yeah.... we're 60+ pages ahead of the September babies thread and they've had a month more than we have to chat. That's why we got moved

Kitties are on their second flight, they are currently flying over the Democratic Republic of Congo. So there you go.

Friday soon, 31weeks, 2 days til we fly out, 3 days til we land, 4 til we get settled at my mum's. Can't wait.

So tired... but I need to stay up as long as possible, been kipping in the day and my sleep patterns are all messed up now. Need to kickstart it back into a regular kinda rhythm.

Night, ladies...

 

[Beankeeper]

I need to go to bed....

We've been super chatty all day & then I came online & the chat died?

 

[Jazavac]

Woohoo, instead of my cancelled Natural Childbirth class, I get private Natural Childbirth class, at my own house. For the same price, which is $30 for three 1.5-hour sessions.

I need to get my hospital bag(s) going, really.

Bean - I have also started packing my bags today. Just wondering what size clothes you are packing for the baby? So far I've packed sleepsuits and vests sized 7.5lbs. Not sure if i should pack some bigger sizes just in case? Xx

I seem to have missed the kitties thing, seen them mentioned a few times today... but, what, exactly, are they doing flying over the Democratic Rep of Congo? lol!

GL with your sleep fixing, I can't imagine travel right now, tbh. I feel jet lagged just in regular life.

 

[MommaBarry]

32 weeks!!!

That means 7 more weeks for me!!!!!

 

[SarahDiener]

Yayy! Congrats, Momma!
I do wonder if I'll go before or after you

Well, we're taking the kitties with us to the UK. Of the people here we can trust to look after them, all have other pets already and we don't want to upset either set of animals by insisting they cohabit.

The kitties have arrived at Heathrow and are awaiting the all-clear from customs... from there they will go to Kent to the Animal Inn quarantine facility and they'll be released on/after the 19th October (which probably means a trip down there to collect, as the quotes we've had for getting them up to us in Moray are almost the same as getting them from Zim to London, which is ridiculous).


Was cuddled into DH this morning and he felt the Troll kick him in the butt and then, OHMIGOSH the weirdest feeling and he practically leapt to the ceiling - I think Troll pushed out and stretched, and DH definitely felt that!

 

[whatwillbex]

33 weeks and i'm a honey dew. yipeee. Hold on! they are quite big arn't they?? ouch!

 

[whatwillbex]

Yay, welcome to the UK kittens!

 

[Jazavac]

31 weeks for me.

I think it's also time for me to go back to bed and try to forget the episode of... insanity. Arrrrrrrrgh nausea and all related issues, really. :kaboom:

 

[SarahDiener]

Yay kitties!! I wish I could bring my dog to Germany, he wouldn't handle the flight though . Mum helped a dog give birth in quarantine a few years back, that was interesting!!!
She was supposed to be let out early under some special rule, but the head of it kind of failed to sign the paper work...

Sorry, slightly off topic

 

[phineas]

Ok is it true ur iron levels in preg should be 26 -30 Any one know? Cause of so mine r extremely low! Got a letter stating I need iron tabs that my levels r below 10! Omg is it any wonder I'm so exhausted, and look so bloody tired/pale/ drawn! Even I had a feeling I was low cause I look so bad recently! Glad I know though hopefully after a few days I'll notice a pick up in me!
