@ missy congrats on vday
@kimmy vday is just around the corner

so where is tulip, i miss her positive energy?
 
Aww bless, thanks Mandie :blush: Thinking of you and Micah every day even if I don't see you x

I tried to post in here on the way home last night but phone crashed - so Jo, belated "Welcome to V-land!" to you and Nudgery-Boo :cloud9:

Kimmy, I've had that line about when they get bigger too - whatever!! We may be sore and tired but we will still cherish every kick, punch and hiccup :kiss: Not long til viability for you either - awesome. It's a strange feeling - you obviously can't relax completely, but it is a huge weight off your shoulders knowing that if the worst were to happen, they'd have to fight for bubs.

Today I am on-call :( so won't be leaving the house, which means I can catch up with all my subscribed threads and pop in regularly :)

Wriggles all round xxx
 
im sat on me sofa, its 35c in here watching boring BFBS telly, with nudger wriggling away, hubby is on a taster scuba diving session :)

think i'm gonna drag cdplayer and speakers out side and relax in the pool with hubby when he gets in, or see if hubby fancies a trip to the beach
 
It's pretty grim here in the Garden of England - there will be no sunbathing today, especially considering the lack of pool :haha:
 
our pool is an argos special :) meant to be circular but its leaning over into an oval type shape - and why is argos out of stock of the £15 gazebos!!!! i neeeeeed one! its god dam hot here! i want green grass, and rain, and still wearing a cardy in august! and sky+ hahah

im dreading trying to raise a baby in these temperatures - if i cant get myself cool how will i manage with nudger?
 
You feel extra-hot though cos you're an oven, innit. It'll be fine when she's here x
 
Oooooh I'd love a bit of sun but can understand it would get too much all the time - get in your pool Jo!

I'm off to the hairdressers this morning and we have a posh black tie party this evening. Looking forward to wearing my new Isabella Oliver dress which I got 60% off! Thought it was worth investing in a decent maternity frock as we have 3 weddings before baby makes an appearance.

I've been having lots of stretching pains around the bottom of my bump and on the side where the baby is (according to doppler). Uncomfortable and makes me rub my bump a lot. Wondering if those butterflies are around the corner...

Enjoy your weekends ladies...

ok - so i got thru 1st tri - ive made it past V-day, and now im terrified of actually being a mummy!

ive got the scary 'what if' hat on,

what if im not good enough
what if i cant breast feed
what if i cant work out how to get my baby to sleep

how do we become 'responsible parents'?
 
have a nice day triple - fingers crossed u feel butterflies soon x
 
Hey Jo, you were born to do this. We don't realise that the "how to be a mummy gene" has been waiting around for years for this moment! When the time comes it will feel right and you'll know how to do it (I'm telling myself this too!) As for the breastfeeding, you'll give it your best shot I'm sure. Sometimes it doesn't happen sure but you can cross that bridge if you have to (I work for Avent and really want to breastfeed - talk about conflicted, but I know that you're not letting anyone down if the BF doesn't work). You'll be a fab mum hun, a PAL mummy knows exactly how to treasure this gift :hugs: xxx
 
OMG - I have swollen ankles and feet - can this be normal or should I see the dr?

hx
 
Normal in warm enviironments bud. Mine did the same about your stage. If your hands or face look puffy then deffo see someone xx
 
Jo - i can totally relate about the worries with the heat for baby.

We sleep with the Air Con on every night and it generally stays around 24 degrees, which we find pretty cool, but it takes a few hours to get it to that. Then, i keep hearing how A.C. is not good for babies, but if we don't use it then the room is 32 degrees!!! We have decided we will use the A.C. and see how it goes. Likewise, during the days i have just bought him shorty romper suits (i saw what other little baby boys were wearing!). I am also scared about taking him in the sun - obviously, i am not taking him out to get a tan, but when we take him outside at all then he will be at risk of catching the sun. I bought johnson & johnson factor 50 that the lady in mothercare said is fine from birth and we will get the best shading for the stroller etc, but it still worries me!! My friend brought her 3 month old out here in Feb and we kept her in a UV tent all day and she had factor 50 on - but she still got burnt round her eyes (her mum had been too cautious about getting cream in her eyes, understandably).

Cor, i hope the mummy gene kicks in too. I have to admit i am scared. My Amazon account just got a hammering as i ordered some more bubba books! I inherited a load from a friend but they are all really stuffy ones and i nod off trying to read them, i need the more informal and to the point kind!!

HB1 - i started with swollen ankles about then, it's surprisingly uncomfortable, isn't it? My doc said that i literally had to put my feet up - keeing them raised def helps. Lots of water too. But Tulip is dead right about swollen face etc - get to the doc if that happens. Flying def makes it worse...and i have a million flights ahead of me so will have cankles for quite a while!!

Wish2b - how are you today? Hope OH is still being a domestic god and looking after you both. X

They prob say the AC's a bad thing because it dries the air... if you can humidify the room a bit that should help x

Oh yeah - also starting to crap myself. Just ordered my birthing ball to sit on and sort out my posture. Getting the angelcare monitor tomorrow too, it's all coming together...
 
Birthing ball, eh? I have already started with back ache in the evenings.... May have to investigate!

Yeah, i also thought about getting water back in the atmosphere to help bubba - it is such a humid country that humidifying is not mentioned by anyone. I feel another blooming google coming along!!
