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

[fluffyblue]

Hi girls, I have the greatest of cleaners in Noel.

He has done it since we moved in together so I dont moan, he works shifts 6am till 1.30pm and the next week 1.30pm until 9pm so when on earlies he does it all when he comes in and when on lates does it all before he goes to work. He always has and always will, the only thing I do is the washing and the bathroom !!

We had our barney re the decorating. I have asked him to do the hall stairs and landing since May and all I get is yes i will - BUT WHEN ! So I am conscious he is keeping his hols for when baby is born so there was a decorator across the road so I asked him to give me a price, so what happens Noel goes mental and starts shouting at me for wasting money !! I cant win either way - so I thought fuck it Im just gonna let the decorator do it anyway !

Noel wants to do the babys room though but when who knows !!

As for me - first sleepless night because of baby last night but managed a couple of hours in the spare room !!

As of Monday I got 22 working days left wahey xxx

 

[fluffyblue]

Looks higher Jo but you can definately see a difference !

 

[MissyMojo]

sometimes with men i think we just have to tell them whats happening- or nothing happens lol

 

[fluffyblue]

I do understand where he is coming from but he moans about doing it at weekends and then moans about having to take time off work so I cant win. We are having a contractor to do our new fencing and stuff so cant see the difference in the decorator !

I think I am gonna take the stance of just telling him and stop asking him or discussing it with him - that way I get to retain my sanity!

 

[MissyMojo]

sounds like a plan fluffy lol

 

[MadamRose]

I've been telling Oliver all about Chloe and her wonderful sleeping patterns

Hope he takes note hb

Im so happy to say im already back in my pre pregnancy jeans also

How is everyone and there baby bumps doing? i think some more will start arriving soon, a few people getting close to due

 

[MissyMojo]

wow philllipa - already!! get you!!!

im doing alright

currently realising how much bigger bump is recently

 

[MadamRose]

glad bump is getting nice and big missy. not long til full term for you now

Quite right Kimmy - you should be on maternity leave! My last day is at 36+1, 8 weeks today in fact, so about the same time as you. V jealous of the 22 working days left fluffy!

Jo your bump is lovely, bigger and more rounded - definately see a difference.

Due, you are supermum!

Back from the midwife and all is well. For once BP wasn't sky-high in the surgery (that's a first), FH is 29cm (pretty much spot-on) and baby is transverse at the moment. Had my bloods done and booked my GTT for Monday. Luckily don't have to go to the hospital for it - just don't eat after midnight (water only), drink the foul stuff at 7.30am and midwife is coming to my house at 9.30am to take blood. That's it - results by the end of the day. She gave me the hospital pack full of scary info like painrelief in childbirth, visiting hours on the maternity ward etc etc - all seems so very very real!

It's Friday everyone - woohoo!

i cant understand how a maternity top in my usual size is stretched to max, but i was wearing a F&F tesco tee yesterday in one size bigger n sill had room ??? me thinks new look arent very flexilble in their mat wear!

 

[MadamRose]

wouldnt say i was a super mum just have a good baby.

good news aout BP triple hope GTT goes ok

missy i agree on the new look maternity clothes front. i had 2 have 1size bigger even in maternity there

 

[fluffyblue]

I got my GTT next Thursday at 8.50am at the hospital, then got my growth scan at 9.15am so at least I can pass some time. Lucky you Triple having it at home !! I gotta wait 2 hours at the hospital

 

[MadamRose]

Hope your GTT test goes well fluffy and im sure the scan will be fine

ive started a parenting journal https://www.babyandbump.com/parenting-journals/443744-life-chloe-my-little-princess.html#post7406994

 

[TripleB]

I was quite surprised that she suggested coming to my house but I should have had it this week and they forgot about it so maybe they are being accommodating! I'm a bit scared of the results even though nothing is pointing to GD at the moment!

Will check out your journal Due - I'm still thinking supermummy!

Yey for maternity leave Kimmy - am 9 weeks behind you on that one!!

Bump's looking fab Jo!!

Fluffy - think my OH is similar to Noel - he does all the cleaning - I was doing the bathroom and bits around the house but that's slowed right down of late being so tired - and when I say I feel bad for not doing anything he just says that my job is to look after Ollie Good work on the decorator - sometimes you just need to take the bull by the horns!! on the sleepless night - right there with you!!

Check you out Due - back in the pre-pregnancy jeans - that's amazing!!!

Lets swap MW notes Triple FH : 30, bp normal, thinks I have SPD - going to get a bump band, asked about flu jab - she says it's fine to have ( have asthma so should get it really ), said about a couple of quiet days kicks wise - feeling kicks but not for as long each session and they feel lighter - she thinks it's just his position - talking of which, he is head down with his back facing out and to me right hand size - his hb is 130-140. My GTT is on Wednesday - this is at the hospital tho - she will ask them to do my bloods that she needs then rather than having extra draws.

Glad you mw appt went well

AFM - so glad it's the weekend!! only 2 weeks till my next week off. Going to see if any of the floor situation could be covered by insurance ( we also discovered that we need a new dishwasher!! ) so fxd!!!! will def get to aquanatal tomorrow morning!!

Sounds like Ollie is doing brilliantly h! Back-out is what you want isn't it? I assume mine is the same because she said she could feel the bum and feel the head but she wasn't sure which was which - def side to side though at the mo. Go-you on the head down already! She didn't tell me the HB, just that it was all good and had to apologise to the baby when it whacked the doppler! When I reminded them that I was supposed to have a GTT she said all the bloods could have been done together but its not a problem - I'm usually terrible at blood tests and today she got 2 vials straight away so I won't complain.

Hope the floor is covered on the insurance - that would be a blessing.

I'm off to a wedding tomorrow - how to look glam when you look like a beachball on legs - hmmmmm.

[MadamRose]

Thanks i dont know how im back in them already but as everyone keeps telling me my bump didnt exactly look like i was carrying a 9lbs 12oz baby. My bump just completly disapared as she was born.

Im sure all the GTT will be fine i never had one done

Enjoy the wedding triple hope you have a really good day

Round2 - I've been lucky and am only getting nausea but some smells really make me want to leave a room.

Lucy - I can understand your worry, but we've got to be positive (easier said than done I know!)

Aussie - hope you feel better soon!!

Foxforce - know what you mean about tiredness I've just woken up after a 2 hour nap!!

Hope everyone else is ok xxx

Sorry ladies wrong thread! Hope you're all ok too. x

 

[KimmyB]

Hi girls, how are we all tonight? I'm a little worried...Got the worst lower back ache I've ever had. Its sort of persistent but then gets worse in waves?! The pain is slowly spreading to my hips and I've had a few menstrual type cramps that come and go (plus the usual BH). Anyone had anything like this at my stage? Could it just be that bambino is getting heavier and pulling on my back muscles? I'm gonna try a coupla paracetomol I think...

 

[hb1]

can't offer advice Kimmy but def keep an eye on it - no harm in calling the hospital if you're worried

Hoping it's nothing
