Hey All,
Well just thought I'd say... these last few weeks seem to be going really slow... and from everyone's bumps pictures, I just look and feel HUGE!... have a growth scan on the 7th Dec so looking forward to that...
Apart from being house-bound (docs orders)... not much else to report... little bored though!
How are the rest of you doing? Starting to "waddle" yet?

I'm doing great! My hip has started to hurt, usually at night but other than that, baby and me are doing great!
If I've been walking for a bit I do start to waddle, so I try and limit how much walking I do lol.

I am looking forward to my 36 week ultrasound though! Can't wait to see my little girl again

okay sorry girls for starting maybe a touchy topic, but would love to know who has had the swine flu vaccine and who hasnt and why for both.

im SO on the fence...
im finishing work in 2 weeks
im 32 weeks (so if there was an issue with the vaccine baby can be born safely so that doesnt bother me - sounds harsh)
i don't get colds/flu very often if at all but when i do it tends to be bad
i just worry about the effect after on myself, how terrible does that sound, but try to understand?


my mum was ill last year after having her seasonal flu jab..
thats the only reason what is putting me off. feeling dodgy afterwards.



sorry i hope that all makes sense Garnets xxxx

I got my vaccine on November 10th. I didn't have any side effects, just a sore spot on my arm where they injected it. My OB stongly recommended that I get it b/c swine flu can be very dangerous if you are in your 3rd tri. Also, I believe the baby gets the immunity as well. I sure don't want to be worrying about a newborn getting the swine flu. I am a teacher and many students in my school have or have had the swine flu already...I wasn't taking ANY chances! The seasonal flu shot is new every year, the swine flu vaccine was tested in the same way that the seasonal flu vaccine is year after year. Like I said, no side effects for me, and the baby has been as active as he was before I had the vaccine so I am not worried about him!

I'm really glad you got it as you work in a school you're more likely to be in contact with it.
I tried to pursuede my mum to get it too because she works in a school aswell but theres no convincing her.
thanks for the reply.




- well after a lot of thinking, i'm not having it. not because of scaremongering or anything but it's just right for me not to have it.
i have a strong immune system, all my vitals have been perfect throughout my pregnancy and i've had no colds for years.
i've only ever had flu once and that was over christmas, i was in bed for 2 weeks and got over that.
Also i've only got work for 2 weeks now.. and can avoid all people with colds/illness after that yay for mini bottles of hand sanitiser x

 

[priddy]

Im fed up and bored!!!! Not sleeping great as sleep on side and waking with pains in hips/top leg ever hour or so. Dont seem to have much to do each day but have got growth scan thursday and hospital antenatal check so thats my looking forward to day of the week.

 

[Becyboo__x]

Zarababy1 is on
and her due date is 20th not 24th
xx

Thanks BecyBoo I've updated those ones.

Also if the ladies want to change the name to 'Jewels' rather than 'Garnets' then let me know and I'll do so. I think Garnets was started from the 1st tri as its birthstone for Jan. But if the general consensus is 'Jewels' then 'Jewels' it will be.

 

[Becyboo__x]

People have said it sounds better but i thought be better if it had a name to do with month like all the others.. December stars..February lovebugs etc but dont think anyone can think of one IMO i think it starting with j and second bit being j is abit too much but

x

 

[sharan]

Yeah that seems to be the general trend with all the other months so not sure what the other ladies think.

 

[Kota]

well it was originally suggested for the birthstone of that month and thats what the logo was designed for, I kinda like the 'garnets' as it specifies January rather then just any jewel, if that makes sense?


In other news I had my growth scan tonight, 32wks and still measuring on the 95th centile., baby head down and an estimated fetal weight of 5lb6oz already!! My god, this boy is going to be big!!

Hey All (mini rant warning!)

Well I was really excited - Purchased a crib set (i.e. crib and 2 dressers) in oct - all going well, until when we put the crib together - noticed it was damaged... phoned the store - all sold out, found one in another store 30 mins away, went to get it... realised when we got it home... it was damaged... in the same place... long story short, after seeing 4-5 cribs in different stores, they all have the same damage, its a manufacturers "defect".... so the original store said they would special order it from the manufacturer... was told it came in today YAY.... 30 mins later, they called back - right part, WRONG COLOUR! ARGH!.... so she promises next 2 weeks...

RANT OVER - sorry had to share

[ShellysBelly]

I'm so flipping tired. Had to go into town after work as my car needed a trip to the garage. The 2.5 hours nearly killed me! Wouldn't mind but I didn't buy much. Thank Jeebus I don't have to do any Christmas shopping worth talking about this year! Slept like a log for a change though. Wish I was still in bed.

Zzzzz

 

[ShellysBelly]

Oh and +1 on remaining garnets. Where did this Jewels thing come out of anyway?

 

[Pingu]

Morning Ladies,

Hope you are all well? Not posted on here for a while, it has been a busy month.

Can't believe I am now approaching 32 weeks. Time has gone by soo fast. I only have 3 weeks left at work before I start my maternity leave!

I really like the name January Garnets xx

 

[emalou90]

WE'RE GARNETS.
lets stay with it




well i had a great night sleep but im still so tired! Grr and i have to work today. typical, why couldnt i have been tired yesterday x

 

[sharan]

I think Garnets it is then. There was another thread where some of the ladies said they prefered Jewels over Garnets so I thought I'd just ask.
