pregnancy buddies due in June 2009!

[ClaireyF]

glad you've been released serina! everyone has been very worried about you! xxx

 

[Rosella]

Your OH sounds brilliantly handy! I'm not sure when they're coming back but i am extremely tempted to sort it out myself - will be far quicker and more effective. And just send them the bill or subtract it from what I owe them for the wardrobe. It wouldn't be so bad if we lived in a bigger space. But we have honestly shifted stuff around so many times now. I just want to nest and start buying baby stuff. The reason I held off for so long was cos I didn't want to be shifting stuff around.

Anyway, it's not the end of the world I suppose.

I think you should def get checked out Claire. I had some quite bad period like cramps, but they only last a really short while.

Serina- glad you're back and I did check out your article - it sounds like you have come through a lot.

Jue - congrats on 3rd tri.

 

[happy mum]

Gail that sounds poo!!!

Serina Back!! thats great glad you are ok!! XX now take it easy! X

 

[ClaireyF]

Gail, don't know if you saw on my FB but i managed to get some maternity jeans long enough i never ordered the same ones as you but kept looking on ebay and someone was selling Long Tall Sally jeans and they are the comfiest jeans i have ever worn, have you bought any more jeans from bean pole bumps? xx

 

[Rosella]

That was lucky with the LTS jeans. I know they used to do them - I haven't seen any recently. They sound great though. I bought a pair of noppies jeans from beanpole bumps - just one pair - and they have pretty much seen me through since Xmas. i had a pair from topshop as well but they were only 34" leg and seemed to keep falling down because they're not over the bump, so I've given up on them. i bought one pair of black maternity trousers from noppies as well and they're actually too long happydance - so sad but I LOVE long trousers!! Wear them all the time for work. xx

 

[ClaireyF]

touch wood i still fit in my normal trousers for work coz i bought a bigger size. the LTS jeans are 36 leg and perfect fit, they are under the bump jeans but are super comfy! i don't think the topshop 34 length would fit me, normally i get the 36L from there.

I'm hoping that i won't have to buy any maternity work trousers because they are so expensive and i finish in 10w and am not returning! When do you finish? xx

 

[Baci]

Afternoon everyone!

Just got back from toddler group, Violet loved it but I'm shattered!

Rosella, hope your carpet gets sorted soon. I remember when I was 37 weeks pregnant with Violet we had new carpets put in our flat - it was a nightmare having to move everything out of the rooms! Drove me

Serina, glad you're back home and I hope you get plenty of rest.

Jue, congrats on 3rd tri!

Claire - how are the cramps today?

Hey Nat, I can definitely see the advantages of a side by side double. The main reason I like the P&T is that I need something I can get on a bus and I think I'd struggle with a side by side one.

 

[Rosella]

Well, I was going to go to 38 weeks definitely, all being well, which would be 13 weeks from now...That's amazing you're still fitting in to non-mat trousers- you must have a very tidy bump! I guess you're going to 38 weeks as well cos you're just under 3 ahead of me? I'm almost tempted to go till I pop TBH. Not looking forward to SMP - I'm the main breadwinner cos my OH has gone back to uni.

Meant to say - 34" is too short really. Definitely a bit half-mast!

 

[Rosella]

TX Baci. is the only way to describe it!!

 

[ClaireyF]

Carol, i woke up with cramps this morning but then they eased off but i'm back in work now after a walk at lunchtime and they are back! its always worse when i've been walking around, i don't know why, maybe when i'm walking around it forces him down in my tummy... Is everyone fully recovered in your house now from the cold?

gail, i'm going to 38w aswell if i can hack it! but i the way i'm feeling now i could quite easily just leave now. i'm not looking forward to SMP either but its better than nothing and since i'm not going back after Josh is born then it will be a gradual loss of earnings. luckily my DH is the main breadwinner in the house but money will be tight. xx

 

[Cariad_bach]

Good to see you back Serina

Claire pester the MW alot tomorow wont you ... you may as well since your there anyway

Gail hun know wonder you need to rant, im be going up the wall
I hate tradesmen, they just dont care less do they.
Like Claire im lucky in the fact that me and OH do most things, i lay the carpets in our house and paint, OH does all the woodwork and electrics, we can plum in a sink but need help with Gass stuff!

Cant help anyone with long leg problems as im a shorty!!!

Carol i bet your shattered arnt you! like you i could never handle a side by side, they dont go through my house doorway or anything ... the idea of having to lift the kids out of the pram every time we went in or out really put me off them

Claire please talk to the MW tomorow hun ... please just check in with her and get her to look at your bump to put your mind at rest ..... is there know way you can do what Caths done and work some half weeks leading up to 38 weeks?

 

[Rosella]

You're right Claire - SMP is much better than nothing. I know what you mean about wanting to leave early too... Have you done any recent bump pics btw?

So impressed Jue - you lay carpets?!! Want to come and sort mine out?
xx.

 

[ClaireyF]

Jue, lol don't tar all tradesmen with the same brush...my DH is an electrician. although at home i do any electrics like changing switches etc and he stands and watches he much prefers to do woodwork or plumbing or anything other than electrics.
i can't work part time at my work, theres only 5.5 of us anyway and i've got loads to do before i finish and i also need the money before i finish. i have asked them about it though. I am really looking forward to next week off work, hopefully i will relax and maybe my bump might feel better. no sexy time for DH while i feel like this though! lol

xx

 

[ClaireyF]

Gail i have done a bump pic, its in 3rd tri bumps https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-third-trimester/6-your-bumps-564.html page 564 if that link doesn't work xx

 

[Cariad_bach]

LOL sorry Claire ... apologies to your OH ... MY OH trained as a electrician!!
But they do tend to be a pain ... i suppose its coz there men, but they go up your stairs with their boots on and put their mucky tools on your sides and carpets


Gail id love to ... it takes me a while but i love doing it, its scary making the first cuts tho i even have a knee pad shover thingie!!!

 

[Rosella]

Jue, you sound like a total professional!!!! better than the professionals even, if you're tidy as well! I'm so impressed!

Claire - LOVE the bump pic!!! . It's so neat! You're going to have your figure back v quick I reckon.

Right ladies, I have GOT to get on with some work, but you've all cheered me up a bit!

 

[ClaireyF]

lol thanks Gail, i don't think i had much of a figure before though, i'm much prefering my changing shape xx

Jue, we have a knee kicker thing too for the carpets xx

 

[Baci]

I just had a little lurk in 3rd tri - lovely bumps Claire and Jue.

We're finally over the colds too thanks Claire.

 

[ClaireyF]

Carol, hope you noticed Nats bump too...she's got hers in there aswell after much 'nagging' lol
