PAL Winter Babies 2010/11 - ** Waiting impatiently for our remaining babies! **

[Tulip]

Yeah my hands have started to do that when I'm hot. My rings are now worn round my neck. Though I do wear a (bigger-sized) dress ring on my wedding finger to avoid disapproving looks from old buddies

 

[wish2bmama]

Aw sorry Wish, how thoughtless of me I'll stop my whining right now!
Louise I've been blessed with a stretchmark free bump...But I've paid for it elsewhere. My bum and thighs are covered in them. I've got a few starting to come on my hips and even on that fat bit at the side of my knee?! Who'd have thought you could get fat knees?!
That is so funny about the train Louise

aw, you're sweet

I have fatter fingers too. DH's wedding band is my back up

Also, my shoes dont fit now either! I hope my feet go back after I have that Baby, I have some nice shoes I crave to wear again!

 

[TripleB]

Yep with you on the shoes wish - flatties only and a size bigger. Oh my lovely heels....xxx

 

[KimmyB]

My shoes don't fit either!! Mind you, my feet do look like a coupla torpedo bread rolls They are swollen and so are my hands, but not overly so. Had to remove my engagement and wedding rings about a month ago Glad I'm not the only one to get funny looks from the biddies

 

[debgreasby]

I've told DH he has to buy me a cheapo wedding ring if this one has to come off ... i feel naked without it! I already took my engagement ring off

Hi ladies,

Welcome to the world Vincent! Congrats Vinushka!!

Well, after a couple of false alarms i thought i had escaped the stretchies...but then my bump dropped and the underside of it is now covered. I hate feeling so vain, but i really, really hate them.

My wedding ring has been off for ages and i just wear my engagment ring now, but that is pretty tight but at least i remember to take it off every night (sometimes i need hand cream to get it moving!).

I am with you girls on the sex front, i feel pretty horny but don't think it would work right now. I am so achey and awkward and when i suggested it to OH he said 'What?! There's a full size baby in there!!', so i guess that's a no! i don't blame him, i think i am beginning to feel like that too!

Well, the Doc told me that Spud is not coming this week. Apparently my cervix is shortening, but we are not there yet. She offered me a sweep next monday. Does anyone know if there is any risk involved with sweeps? I know they are meant to hurt, but could they cause any damage/upset bubs?

Happy V-day wish! Feels great, doesn't it?? So cool that your OH remembered - he sounds like a sweetheart.

Right, i'd better go cook some dinner.... Has anyone else developed lazy-itus or is it just me??

Take care.

sweep shouldnt affect bubs - my mw explained that all theyre doing is unsticking the waters membranes a little - bit like running a spatula round a cake tin once cooked, to unstick a cake - the cake remains intact. but no longer stuck to the tin . . . .

all round,

 

[Tulip]

LOVE that analogy, Jo!! Ooh Mich, I'm excited!

Kayla, any movement? xx

 

[MissyMojo]

[Tulip]

I was awake before K's alarm went off. Have had almost 9 hours sleep LOL

 

[MissyMojo]

thats not so bad then i went to bed at 9pm, up at 6am to 9 hrs too - doesnt feel like it tho

 

[MadamRose]

Congrats Vinushka glad to know i wasnt the only one who was late.

It wont be long before more PAL babies are ariving.

Things are still going great with Chloe she is really content sleeps well at night only wakes twice for feeds. Being breastfed and its going really well, even though it was quite sore to start off with.

 

[MissyMojo]

[hb1]

Getting that warm glow Due - Hoping that Oliver is taking notes

[Tulip]

H don't get excited. I spent 9 hours in bed - no way was the majority of that sleep LOL. xx

 

[Smiler79]

Hi ladies. Please could I be added to the PAL winter babies. I am due on 26th January after having a miscarriage at 7 weeks last October. It will be the anniversary of my miscarriage next wednesday and I have mixed emotions. I am over the moon to be pregnant with Bob but don't want my angel baby to think that i am replacing them or dont love them

 

[MissyMojo]

welcome smiler

i was in bed for 9 hours - but up every 30mn or so for the loo il midnight - then up at 2 then 4, then got up at 6

 

[TripleB]

Welcome Smiler, I was wondering how you were getting on.

I'm getting loads of good quality sleep - but still knackered, can't win! Fingers are still puffy today and noticed my ankles were a bit wider than usual last night but seem to be ok this morning. Midwife on Friday, will mention it then (trying not to get paranoid about pre-eclampsia).

Today is the anniversary of finding out about my MMC. DH mentioned it this morning, bless him, I didn't think he would remember but he simply reminded me of the positives coming from those dark days - that this baby inside me now couldn't be more wanted or loved - and that our angel baby has made us stronger.

[Smiler79]

Thank you TripleB

You are right about angel babies making us stronger and Bob definitely could not be loved or wanted more.

I cant believe that we are all so close now!!!!

 

[hb1]

Nic - you probably feel how I do then - I seem to live in a hazy, knackered state!!!! My manager has been v kind and if I have more sleepless nights I'll just work from home - so that's good

hey Smiler!! another January bod!!

Do your ankles go down when you put them up Triple? if you apply pressure to the swelling does it retain the dent you make? if so it is more than likely to be retained water ( am now an expert in retained water!!!! )

for your anniversary milestone Triple, it's similar to the edd milestone I think - I just takes you back a little - mine in the day after my birthday in december - not looking forward to it.
