xan that may be it! Maybe I'll try moisturizing more than just when I'm super itchy at home lol
Hope16 great bump pic!
Uni that's awesome! What a great deal! We are going to buy the crib etc in July. I'm searching Kijiji and hoping for a great sale from Babiesrus. I know the color and style I want too. Just waiting for a great deal or we'll bite the bullet and buy in July. I have my bedding and decorations already
just need to paint and decorate.
Campn. no bumps or rash or anything to see. One part of my arm felt dry, but my skin doesn't look any different than normal! Going to try extra moisturizing the next few days and lots of water. Hopefully that helps! My next midwife appointment should be next thursday so only a week away at least.

Hope- The fruit punch was the least favorite to me, cause it just reminded me of cough syrup. It's a different texture but you know that throat burn that coats your esophagus once you take some cough syrup!? It's like that. The orange was okay, but lime was my favorite cause it was a bit acidic. It is very sweet, much sweeter than any juice or soda drink!
I've tried all the flavors now

Oh, mummy! How precious 
Ssarah- I missed your post about DH's ankle. I hope he is feeling better. Does he need surgery? My experience with broken bones (and I've had a lot) is that you are really helpless for a short while, but they try to get you more mobile pretty quickly so that you don't lose motion. Of course it depends how bad the break is, but hopefully DH will be back around helping you taking care of business soon.
We visited the hospital yesterday (they do tours of the maternity ward), and it was funny and a bit comforting to be in a room full of 3rd trimester ladies. My doctor only delivers to 2 hospitals, and one you only want to go to if your baby has major issues (knocking on wood). They almost guarantee private rooms, but last month had 15 women deliver on one day and so had to double up. They strongly support breastfeeding and don't even weigh the baby until s/he has fed once. They say that 65% of mothers leave breastfeeding. All in all, it sounded good.
The one thing that sounded a little weird is that there are 24 hour visiting hours, with a quiet time between 2-4am. Ladies, is that normal?
Also, they mentioned that you can have labor tubs brought in to your room. Has anyone done that? Do you recommend it? It's a bit expensive, but it does sound nice...

Campn - I got for my test on Mon. That's good to know their are other flavours. I've only had the orange drink before. Ill ask if they have lime.
mummy- beautiful scan pics
Ssarah - so sorry to hear about your DH's ankle. I really hope he recovers in time so you can get your rest before the baby comes.
xan - at most hospitals here, visiting hours are 9am-9pm. If it something serious there is no limit on hours. My hubby can only stay over night if I get a private room after delivery. They always go fast so i'm really hoping to get a private room.
uni - what a nice surprise from your hubby And a good deal too!!
Hopie - I see my OB next week and will ask for an iron check. I've started to add more spinach, broccoli and beets to my diet. I really don't want to be anemic again after birth for a long time.

Sorry ladies I am completely behind, I'll try to catch up later! I caught a cold that turned into a tonsillitis infection, had to go to the ER, was put on antibiotics but I am finally feeling better! Thankfully my DD didn't get too bad, just the cold, so I am glad we are both doing better.
I had my anatomy scan on monday and baby is healthy, still a boy and kept his hands on his face all the time so we couldn't see much of his face, they'll try again at my next appointment in a couple of weeks. Also we bought some sheets and some decor for the nursery and I'm excited to start making some stuff I'll make for him.
I'll try to catch up later, I'm sorry I always seem to be away, it's been a rough month

Uni, that furniture for your nursery was just meant to be yours!
Remembering one of the annoying things about baby getting bigger - when you get up really needing to pee, but once you're perched on the toilet, baby has moved and squishing things so you can't go! So frustrating!!

Mummy, the scan pictures are gorgeous!!
Had an appointment booked with the nurse in Tuesday to go and have my whooping cough vaccination. Guess who forgot It was only when I was in the bath looking at my bruises from my last appointment (from having blood taken and Anti-D) that it hit me I was meant to be at the doctor's. I HATE that it's happened!
Rebooked now for next Thursday - remind me peeps!
Had fantastic news that my Midwife friend is pregnant, due in Feb, so we'll get some maternity leave off together, and also one of my other friends is definitely trying for #4. So excited!!

lol Moo I'd forgotten about that. Still have it to look forward to hehe
Borr sorry to hear you've been so sick. I'm really glad you're feeling better.
I'm still pretty excited about my furniture, but I found out it will be 6-8 weeks before the dresser is delivered! I guess it's a good thing we ordered it now or it almost wouldn't get here in time
I have no idea why it will take so long. I'm secretly hopeful it will come early.
Xan, where I will deliver, there is a rule about how many people I can have in the room at the same time, I think it's like five visitors. But as far as I know beyond that it's also 24 hours. But, I do think it's "weird" still in so far as it's only the most progressive hospitals that allow 24 hour visiting. Regarding the water labor, I've heard that's really nice. A lot of women give it very good reviews. That is great to hear you'll have a private room and such great breastfeeding support!

Mumma- Beauriful bump I totally wanted to say! Also try the trick of leaning all the way down towards the floor on the toilet, I heard that works really well for peeing and emptying your bladder completely!
I'm not sure about the visiting hours at my hospital but other than my son (and DH who will be staying) I don't want anyone there. My inlaws showed up every single day from 8 am to 8 pm even when I went home so I never got to be alone and do my own thing. Never again.
Uni- Sometimes they'll surprise you and you'll get what you ordered sooner than they said! I've had that happen many times😃
Mummy- Super gorgeous!!

Will try that Campn! Spooner rather than later! Just in bed waiting for MrMoo to get out of the bathroom!
Over here, one were in a delivery room then visitors can stay as long as they want, but when we're in the wards, it's 9am to 8pm and no visitors during mealtimes. That said, I won't be wanting visitors whilst i'm in labour, apart from MrMoo. Not even my mum.

When I was in labour with dd we didn't tell anyone. People texting me asking anything yet was just replying nah nothing (whilst trying to breathe out a contraction haha) was just my oh in the delivery suite with me and just him during the visiting times. It was bliss just having family time. We text everyone the day after she was born to announce she was here and we won't be having visitors until we've all settled.... which is what me and oh agreed on since he only gets 2 weeks paternity leave. But to my annoyance his family came to see her the next day but I soon got them gone out the house within a couple hours haha.
This time will be different as we have dd. So my mum will be on stand by to come over to watch her but again as for hospital visits I just want dd and oh. And we'll be telling people no visitors until we've settled.

Was in serious panic mode yesterday. I was having contractions that weren't exactly mild and then I realised on top that I had been going to the loo for #2 alot.. this happened exactly like it did with dd. My body was flushing itself ready and contractions started.
Luckily everything had calmed down... but jez panic melt down.
Anyone else nesting mode kicked in? All I seem to be doing lately is cleaning a lot and clearing out stuff

ciz hope everything is back to normal for you? No more contractions?
When I was in labor with #1 I had my mom and my ex around. We had visitors from the time he was born til the time we left the hospital lol - 3 days. Was great. I loved it
With my youngest no one was allowed per hospital policy to even visit besides my ex - could have had my mom but she was in a different province. But I left exactly 24 hours after birth. But went to my sister in laws house straight away for a dinner. Then home. I'm one of the ones that likes lots of people and visitors etc.
