[BabeeAngel]

Hi girls, haven't posted in a while... i've been really down lately and can't shake the feeling... I'm having a really hard time with work and can't even stand to think that i still have 8 more weeks i just feel like crying all the time...
went to the Dr. yesterday and he said the cramps I've been having are Braxton Hicks contractions, and if they get more regular or stronger i should go to the hospital and get checked :S

 

[bugalugs]

Hiya ladies, just been catching up while DH back at work.

Babee Angel hope you start feeling better soon, it's not nice when you want to cry all the time, I felt like that the other week. Hope your BH settle down x

Mel hope you are ok, can you get some gaviscon liquid for your acid reflux, it works well x

Cath baby show sounds good idea, wish they had one over here! I'm also ignoring labour stories, just gonna wake up with a nice plump baby in my arms - easy peasy

Serina are you at home yet? Thinking of you hon - hope all is well

Hiya Pitbullmommy - welcome to b&b! your doggy sounds lovely x

Jue & Claire I wouldn't send my DH to do the 'big shop' - he's come back with pizza & beer - hey maybe I SHOULD send him

To all you ladies with less than 100 days not long now!!!!! xxxx

I've probably missed loads of stuff happening - hope everyone else is doing ok xxx

 

[bugalugs]

ooh forgot - hope your SPD doesn't get worse Cath, it's horrid isn't it. Mine's not too bad at the minute. Been waking up with numb hands too! Oh the joy it'll all be worth it when we hold our cute babies in June!

Got my 24wks MW appt on Tues looking forward to it!
Baby has been very quiet for couple of days, but maybe it's because I have been very active cleaning whole house?

We have finally started getting some of our baby things through the post, little bits and pieces, should start getting the big stuff next week! hope so!

Went to see my 'friend' remember we have the same one Claire I caved in and bought baby a pressy - friend didn't say anything! Just took it off me and put it on the coffee table!! But it made me feel good & baby girl is so cute, so poo to her!
She's been moaning to me that she hasn't had full nights sleep since baby came home (a wk ago!) think she was expecting baby to sleep all night straight away!! Hello!!!!

 

[happy mum]

[bugalugs]

I have been eating loads of twix - went through 2 BAGS of them last week (the single mini ish fingers ones lol) I have run out now and can't stop thinking about them!
Maybe i'm 'cooking' a baby girl too! But I also crave cheese & onion & salt & vinegar crisps, my cousin had that whilst 'cooking' her two boys

Corr I wish my supermarket delivered! x

 

[Cariad_bach]

Ooh hell serina hun are you ok? where are you now? hoping everything ok hun

Cath from everything ive heard at the mo a mortgage that doesnt involve a 10% deposit are as rare as goldust good luck tho!
We have Tesco deliver our stuff sometimes to ... the substitutions wind me up tho ...especially when you buy stuff that BOGOF and the sub it for something not on offer!!
It was good of the person at your work to get you a Easter egg .... talk about knowing the best way to apologize to a pregnant woman
Sorry to hear the pains bad still hun ... ive never used crutches before, it can be nice


Twyla sending hugs hun Hope the BH's go soon ... hows your puppy doing?


Mel have you seen the Doc about the heartburn etc, there may be stuff he can prescribe for you hun ... take it easy



Aww Hayley your friend doesn't realise how lucky she is ... it was good of you to go and see her and get her LO a present.
Bet it was great having baby cuddles cant believe shes moaning about lack of sleep already it really makes you wonder what some people expect!
Glad your stuffs started arriving, must make it all seem more real now, hope everything goes well Tuesday hun xxxx



Nats just get the kids to push the trolley ... thats what i do, its sooo funny hows Dylan today?



Carol hows the cold hun?


Claire was there anything good in the Bounty pack the MW gave you?




Hows everyone else this morning? whats everyone up to over the weekend?

 

[Baci]

Morning everyone.

BabeeAngel.

Hayley, I hope the rest of your stuff arrives soon!

Cath - They just gave you crutches? Did the physio not recommend any exercises for you to do or anything like that?

Nat, I also do internet shopping. Just taking one toddler around the supermarket is bad enough and Violet hates sitting in the trolley too and wants to run around.

I'm feeling a bit down this morning. Just given my DH a lift to the station and wont see him til Sunday night now as he's on a stag weekend.

I reckon I'll be shattered by then with just me, bump and Violet. She's currently standing in front of me with a paintbrush saying "paint paint" so wish me luck, it could get rather messy!

 

[ClaireyF]

Jue, the bounty pack is the same one i was given at 11w so i have one more nappy now lol.

Nats & Hayley...i don't think the choc and girl theory works...my little boy loves choccie too or atleast thats my excuse

Cath, we are collecting dressed on way back from MIL in exeter at Easter

Twyla, hope your BH get better...mine have come back alot these last few days and hurt

Carol, hows everyone in your house today?

hayley...how exciting that baby things are arriving!! are you unpacking as they arrive? or leaving them in the boxes?

Serina, how you feeling today hun?

so sorry if i missed anyone out my memory is no where near as good as Jue's memory

xx

 

[bugalugs]

ooh painting sounds fun! goodluck

my DH is on extra shifts again, so he'll be on nights fri, sat & sun - another quiet weekend for me. Think I will HAVE to stock up on bics n choc to see me through the lonely lonely nights

I agree Jue - I don't know what my mates were expecting! They left everything til the last minute as they thought the due date was when the baby would come for defo, not an estimation - she was 2wks early! Silly billys...but baby girl is scrummy!

waiting to see if any parcels have been delivered today - got my nursing shawl, a book & P&T uv shade yesterday, still waiting for tonnes!

 

[bugalugs]

Hi Claire, how are you today?
I'm unpacking!!!!!! looking at it all, well the few bits I've got so far lol

ooh I wonder what i'm havin a boy or a girl!!!!! can't wait!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cariad_bach]

Carol good luck ...its so funny/messy when they get all artistic isnt it!

Hayley hopefully all your stuff will come so you can spend your evenings looking through it all

Claire that extra nappy will come in im sure have you sent off your grant form yet? (just wondering what ind of things the form asks you lol)


Just text Serina, shes resting at the mo and not to bad but has to go straight in if the pains come back ...

....cant believe they dont give steroid injections till 27 weeks ... i always thought they would after 24 weeks

 

[bugalugs]

lol yay Jue, hopefully,then I can just look at it all whilst scoffing choc

to Serina, can't believe they haven't given her steroid injections!

 

[ClaireyF]

Jue, thanks for the update on Serina i haven't done the form yet, i will complete if i get spare 5mins and take it to post office at lunch time

Hayley, I'm fine...last day in 2nd tri today makes me laugh about your/our friend! my friend is due to be induced today so emailed her to wish her luck etc etc and she actually asked how i was getting on

 

[Baci]

Me again...

Violet has just discovered the joys of finger painting was all fine until she tried to run around the house with all paint over her hands!

Cold seems to be getting better thanks, and Violet seems to be fine - didnt stop from her waking up at 3am though. At least she's only waking up once a night. DH isnt letting his cold stop him going on the stag do (funny that eh?!).

Not sure what I'm going to do this weekend yet. Not a lot I guess!

Carol xx

 

[ClaireyF]

the thought of a little girl running around a house with hands covered in paint is hilarious! maybe it wasnt such a good idea ripping up our laminate floor and putting beige carpet down

i think we are shopping this weekend, DH wants some jumpers...boring...but atleast i get to look at baby things then and might start getting a couple of things for hospital bag. how big a bag do i actually need?? i have a list of suggestions so will get the essentials and work my way through.

xx

 

[Baci]

I'd have taken a photo if I wasnt so worried about pink and green paint on cream walls and carpets!

Hospital bag! I havent thought about that much!

 

[bugalugs]

at least pink n green go nice together Carol

I got a new Roxy holdall off amazon to take to the hospital, it's huge but at least I will be able to get everything in it

DH has just been home for lunch - no parcels today which is POO!

 

[ClaireyF]

oh no, no parcels!! Hayley, can you claim the health grant? coz on the form it asksif you live abroad because of partner in armed forces.

Jue, i have completed the form and its very easy name, address, NI Number, bank details and a signature i'm gonna send it off recorded delivery, they do give you a prepaid envelope but its only 2nd class that they give you. xx

 

[Cariad_bach]

Sounds simple enough Claire thanks, how big a bag you need depends on how much stuff your taking
For mine i had 2 bags ... a baby bag and a 'me' bad ... one full of snack food, old knickers, pads, a camara and comming home clothes for me,
One full of nappies and baby clothes for my LO.

Im still meant to pack a bag just in case something goes wrong and i end up being taken in but i didn't bother last time .. i couldn't stand the thought of having to unpack it all!

Hayley its a pain youve had know parcels hun maybe tomorow.

Carol ....... lol Violet sounds like fantastic fun!

 

[Baci]

Carol ....... lol Violet sounds like fantastic fun!

Heh - well Violet was certainly having fun!

I'll probably pack 2 bags too. One for me and one for bubs. If I have a c-section I guess I'll be in for at least 2/3 days so I know I'm going to need a fair bit. Thankfully the hospital is only about a 10 min drive away so no probs for DH to nip home and get me some more stuff if needed.

Hopefully your parcels will arrive soon Hayley
