[mrsholmes]

Welcome Mum2b!!

Congats on team Blue Mel!!!!Nice name we liked Darwin with a similar

def agree Jue!! with all these blues mine mine is a girl!! Scan tomorrow so hopefully we will find out I wont be on here till possibly about 9ish tomorrow night so will inform you all straight away! OMG Imagine we all have boys!!!!!!!!!!!?

gOOD idea claire, il try and do one now if I cant youll have to send me intrustions lol

I agree with the SMP its crap ill be taking a drop of about £1100 a month:growlmad, but my OH can pay our bills and the smp will cover the shopping and petrol which is all we need to live on. So the plan is have 9 months off and go back part time for 6 months so hopefully ill be going back full time september 2010 but that does mean living really basically but i think it will be worth it

 

[Jkelmum]

Hi everyone.. Congrats on your boys!! I'm now convinced we're having a girl.

Well so much for being radiant and blooming. I am having non stop migranes with flashing lights and I feel like I have been kicked in my lady bits very hard!

Thinking this baby may well be an only child!

 

[kittiekat]

Good luck tomorrow Cath! Looking forward to seeing if anyone is going to have a girl at this rate lol!

Welcome mum2be

I am looking at reducing any outgoing that can be reduced that way I won't have to worry about returning to work in september. So far it looks like I may well be able to stretch everything out until around december-ish. May even be longer, as I have a second job where I lecture at a local university but won't get paid maternity pay for this job until my contract is running (I work every Sept - Jan). So that means in sept I should qualify for two lots of maternity pay (apparently?????) which I feel so much better with as if the two lots of pay are correct then I can make it last til around march!!!! Then I will go bacvk to work, happy knowing I have spent the first 6-9 months exclusively with my LO. I am dreading going back then as I just can't imagine leaving them but I do have a wonderful mum who has offered to have them and I believe she is a great role model for my LO (sorry if thats slushie but I have the greatest respect for my mum she is the strongest and bravest woman I know). Anyway, what I think I am trying to say is that I am not panicking and constantly thinking about this problem anymore, I am going to go with the flow as I think it will all work out fine.....PHEW!

[Cariad_bach]

Nat and Cath i just wanted to wish you both the best of luck for tomorow i cant wait to hear all about your Lo's and see your piccies

Cath Ive heard great things about Midwife lead Hospitals and i would definitely have had my first 2 in one if there was one anywhere near me.
Im hoping for a home Birth with this one but if i couldn't a Midwife lead Unit would be my 2nd choice xxx


Leanne hun im sorry to hear your not feeling great, hope you recover soon xxx

Serina glad your feeling ok hun xxx

Amber im sure it will fly round .... Winter always seems to drag but as soon as spring and the warm weather comes time flys, just think we will all be eating Pancakes and then Easter eggs before you know it .... then we have May with all the Bank Holidays, then its June xxx


Kat i hope you can work something out ... my job when i had my first LO was a badly paid job and there was know question of me going back to work, i only earnd such a low amount that with a bit of juggling and cutting back we were able to manage. Hope you sort it hun xxxx

 

[mrsholmes]

thanks Jue, they sound so much better but we have havingpressure from our family to go to hospital with all the doctors etc should something go wrong,. something to think about for me

Serina I hope it dont get too bad x

Omg we are page 200!

 

[happy mum]

Thanks Jue!! as you can see by the time, i can't sleep!! went to bed at 9pm, then dylan woke up for an hour, got him to sleep now i can't... typical, my mind is going over time, plus i can't breath through stuffed up nose . moan moan!!!, i'm like you wasn't paid much anyway so used to being skint, although we are on another level of skint now!! i'm just glad i am eligable for some mat pay, as dh was paying me through his buisness during summer, when he could, luckily just enough weeks to be eligable, so we will be better off thank goodness.
erghhhh !! i feel rubbish...... moan moan moan!!!

look forward to comparing pics tomorrow cath, although may take me some time to work out how to put a picture up.... not done that before!!

clare hows your cramps??

 

[Jkelmum]

The joys of motherhood happy mum lol
I couldnt sleep cos this bubs kept kickin me and i had trapped wind last night then ethan woke up full of beans at 4:30am he stayed in my bed until 5:20 then i gave up and got up

 

[happy mum]

Its great isn't it!!! i think i got to sleep about 5am the kids awake 6am, gave up came down 6.30am. if i'd slept, it would of been a good night!!! what is it about toddlers they seem to revert to sleeping like new borns again!! o well at least we'll be preppared!! been looking at 3rd tri again, i'm obsessed by people having babies!!! lol!!
can sympathise with trapped wind seri na, so chrned up!! having a very oniony curry didn't help!!! another long day for us!!

 

[Jkelmum]

Yup as for revertin to newborns ethan asnt really ever slept thru at least 4 times a wk ethan wakes during the night about 3~4 times I dont know why as the other two are good sleepers x

 

[Cariad_bach]

Todays the day Cath and Nat cant wait to see those piccies (nat if you have probs then you can always Email me the pic and i will post it hun xxx)

Cath when do you have to decide (re MW lead units) where i am we dont have to pick anything for deffo until were about 35 weeks so if thats how it is round your way id wait and see,
I can understand your family's concerns but how your pregnancy progresses will give you a good idea as to if its safe or not and most MW lead units wont let you give birth there anyway if they have any doubts xx



Lol Serina im dreading going back to being awake all night, my eldest is 3 now and has just mastered the sleeping all night thing (except for getting up for the loo lol) At least it will be summer when there born, its much nicer being up all night when its warm! xxxx

 

[ClaireyF]

good luck Cath and Nat have fun seeing your babies again.

Nat, Cramps/braxton hicks have stopped being painful now thank god...although i could have just jinxed it! i still get BH but its not as bad as last week!

I'm off to stoke today to see our mortgage to try and sort our mortgage. hopefully this will be it now!

Jue, i love your reasoning that June will be here soon, i'm starting to think that too! and not long until your 21w aswell

Cath, i don't know much about mw led centres but if i had more confidence in myself then maybe i would opt for one. My mum had preeclampsia when she had me and my bro so theres a slight increase that i will have it too, thats why i'm opting for a hospital. maybe if this birth is ok then i would go to a mw place next time.

Anyway, i have been kicked alot over the weekend, it seems to have been non stop, i don't know when he sleeps but it doesn't seem an awful lot!! xxx

 

[ClaireyF]

also, we have agreed on a name for our little boy now aswell xxx
