SMEP success buddies

Aww Happy Valentines day to you too :) You got any plans? Me and DH always say we wont get gifts but he bought me a mini heart shaped box of chocs :) and Ive ordered him a game...:haha: so silly really.

How are you all?

x
 
We do the same! We always say not getting anything but end up with a little something. I have a lot of heart shaped chocolate (and some creme eggs cuz they're my fave) - Also DS got me some valentines cupcakes, they're so pretty I almost don't want to eat them!!

No real plans, OH has said he's going to cook us a nice dinner so will see what he comes up with :D

What about you? Are you up to much this evening?

x x x
 
Got an appointment with the phsyio in the morning! FX it is a productive appointment!!

Can any of you recommend a good camera?? I need a new one, but can't for the life of me figure out which one to get!! :shrug:

x x x x

Ooh thanks, if you can let me know what camera it is you have that'd be great! It's so hard to just pick a camera without knowing what on earth i'm looking for!!

Off to the physio in an hour so will let u know how it goes. FX x x x
 
Hello ladies! Glad uz had a good Valentines Day!!

Smiley - we dnt have a camera anymore...Brandon broke it! Gonna need to try get a new one cos weve jst been usin our phones!

How did u get on at the physio?

Certain - u must be on SERIOUS mat leave countdown! Eek! Xxxxx
 
Hello!!!

Steph - Where have u been lately? V.quiet! All ok?

I got on alright at the physio, she was helpful and has given me some exercises / stretches to do that should help / stop it getting worse. She did a lot of prodding and pulling to confirm it's spd. But no real magic solution :nope: It's only going to go away once baby is here so have just got to try and manage it for now.

So sort of a productive appointment, but not really!

She said she could see about getting a support belt, but she said they only really help with back pain so probably not going to help me. :cry: Well I might still try and get one, i'm willing to try anything!!!

I've got another appointment in 2 weeks to follow up, see if it's getting worse or not. She then went on to mention crutches.... I hope it doesn't get that bad!!

Anyway, hope you're all well! Only 3 more weeks at work - hooray!!! x x x x
 
Aw jeez oh smiley! I really hope it doesnt get to the stage where u need crutches! I feel so bad for u! Did u go back to work this week?

Id def take anythin they offer u to see if it helps! U poor wee lamb, i really do feel so bad for u!

Im ok! My mum and dad have been at ours to help us redecorate the place so we can start to think about getting the place on the market! So been busy with that! Altho, ive just sort of been directing lol, no one will let me do anything haha!

But pregnancy-wise...i dunno! I havent really felt 'right' for the past few days! I cant put my finger on it, just dont feel 'right' if u kno wot i mean? OH just thinks im knackered! He wants me stop work sooner but im just gonna stick it out for the THREE WEEKS! woo hoo! Lol!

We havent even had our OBEM chat this week! What did uz think? I was watching it with my wee brother (18) and he kept askin questions! "Is it really that fast?" "Why does the baby come out all blue?" "Whys it dirty? What is all that stuff" "OMG...the baby poo'ed inside her???"

Lol i was sat giving lessons on the risks of meconium in the waters, what vernix is...and NO...its not that fast haha!! Xxxxxxx
 
Morning,

Smiley -Aww sorry to hear you are in so much pain! Glad the appointment was a sort of success, at least they are now keeping an eye on you :) Hope it improves and do go off work if you need to!

Steph - sooo exciting about the house! Its really frustrating not being able to do things sometimes isnt it? although I was up a ladder last weekend doing a curtain rail :blush: :) lol I love that your brother was asking all those questions. DH managed to brave it with me this week, but I think it panics him more than reassures him. Hope he copes ok!

IT'S MY LAST DAY!!! so so so excited and relieved - got a busy one though! Hope its ok. I think there maybe 'cake etc' later with everyone which will be fun :) although a load of my colleague have to leave early today due to interviews tomorrow :( shame really. Oh well.
 
Certain!! I cant describe to u how jealous i am! Thats fab u finish today! And cake sounds loooovely!! Yum!

Soooo jealous!! Now u can just relax, chill out and enjoy the rest of ur pregnancy!! Xxxxxxx
 
Good morning!!!

Certain - HOORAY!!! LAST DAY!!! I'm so crazy jealous of you! This must be making things seem very real now?? Hope you enjoy your last day and there is cake etc :flower:

Steph - Ahh are you ok? Maybe you are just getting a bit exhausted? Try to take it easy, but if you're worried about anything go and have a chat with your midwife. I know that feeling of "just not right" and you'll feel better if someone can put your mind at rest.

That's so exciting about your house, and you definitely have the best job - haha, I think you are what is known as the project manager :D Just sit with a cuppa and tell everyone what to do!

OMG - I only got round to watching obem last night. It was amazing! I could never imgaine having to push one baby out, then doing it all again a couple mins later! That midwife was making me laugh, she sounded so out of it - she did really well though! Last night's one has made up for the horrific one the week before and i'm SO BROODY again. I just can't wait for this baby boy to arrive!! Haha, Steph - I bet those were converstaions your cousin appreciated getting clued up on!

Speaking of baby boys - KBKB - I hope you are all ok :hugs: I imagine just very busy with this new tiny person :D

Thanks girls :hugs: i'll be ok. I am just keeping fingers tightly crossed this is as bad as it gets - haha! I haven't had any time off work with it, but only 3 more weeks!!! I'm sure I can manage that?!

x x x x x x
 
Just wanted to share the cakes my son got me for Valentines day :cloud9:

(and a 31 week bump pic whilst i'm uploading pics.... and at work, trying to kill time!)

You did not look huge in your last bump pic!! My face is huge!! And my thighs.... it's amazing how the weight just hits you everywhere!! Did you see obem this week? that girl who was preg with twins - I had serious bump envy. She was still so slim everywhere else but this neat little bump!

Ahhhh that's so sweet, I bet you get some lovely gifts today :flower: x
 
Steph - I've just seen you've commented on a gro-egg on FB (like 2 seconds ago) - Not sure why this has come up in my newsfeed... but I have one of these that you can just have if you want? It's used, but works perfecto! We just don't use it... and now DS have a gro-clock anyway!

x x x
 
Hellooo!

Smiley - That is so weird that it appearer on ur news feed! That would be so good of u if ur sure u wont use it? We had one but Brandon broke it? OMG i love u! Just let me kno how much u want for it :-) ur the best!!

Those cakes look soooo yummy! Ur DS is so cute!! As is ur bump! U really dont look big at all! My face and arms have puffed out!! I look really strange tho cos i have wee skinny legs (the only part of my body i like) and they havent put on any weight! I look like 2 different people stuck 2gether! Haha!

Certain - u kno wot im gonna say... Get a pic of those booties up!! And Happy start of ur maternity leave!! Eek!

AFM - i think i might just be really tired tbh! I NEED to go to the doctors abt this thrush tho! It def got better but last nite was awful so im gonna make an appointment on Monday mornin! Ive been so emotional these past few days tho! Brandon is breaking my heart, i call him 'baby boy' i always have! So recently ive been sayin stuff like "mummy wants a kiss from her baby boy" and he always replies "no, im daddys baby boy, your baby is in ur tummy"... And it kills me everytime! I just dnt want him thinking hes not by baby!! He'll always be my baby!

Sorry, just rambling!! Xxxxxxx
 
Aww steph Hun I'm sure he still knows how much you love him but he sound really astute to know he is not the 'baby' any more. Maybe start reinforcing big boy status and how proud you are he is there to help you? He doesn't mean to hurt you :hugs:
You should def go to the docs, thrush is so nasty and it could explain your tiredness too.

Smiley- thanks Hun but I do feel a bit big. Also are you girls getting swollen legs and feet? My ankles (what are the again!?) are huge at the end of the day :-( getting sciatica as well, I'm wondering if it's coz she may be engaging slightly?! Or am I being hopeful?

I will most certainly be taking pics of some of my stuff (inc booties) soon - I love it so much! My cake thing was ok but mean boss insisted it was at 5.30 (I norm leave at 4.30) so most of my colleagues had gone home (being a Friday) but I got a huge card, some flowers and a £50 John Lewis voucher from everyone :) lucky girl! Now to decide how much forme and how much for DD :haha: I feel relieved to have fin but also abut sad, I will miss my friends :( some of the messages in my card made me cry!! Silly hormones!

So, what's the plans for the weekend?
 
Aw wow!! That was sooo nice of all ur colleagues!! Aw dont be sad, will u still see them? I remember after Brandon was born i had a few girls from work to the house to meet him! Or u could take ur gorgeous newborn into work to show her off!

Lol my ankles are always a lot puffier at the end of the night! I remember when my SIL was pregnant i felt soo sorry for her cos her ankles would swell up sooo much she couldnt walk!! Ouch!! Aw and poor u getting sciatica...just make sure u take it easy now!! It may well be becos baby is engaged! Its about the time she'll be thinking abt locking into position! Eek! :happydance:

I think ur right abt reinforcing 'big boy' status! I think im jst having all these irrational thoughts of him not loving me anymore!! Lol silly i kno!!

Well...my plans for the weekend... Im working 2-10 tonight... Then not sure wot il do 2moro! Think il prob try catch up on the housework that didnt get done while we were decorating! Lol nothin exciting!! Wot about u??

Oooh i got an amazing bargain in work last nite! A 6bottle Tomme Tippee steriliser reduced from £44 to £10!! And my discount took it to £9! Eek! I love a good bargain!

Xxxxx
 
Ahhh Steph :hugs: I can totally understand where you're coming from. My DS is such a mummy's boy and I would be heartbroken if he started saying things like that. Luckily for me he is just that bit younger than your Brandon so he isn't fully aware of the new baby boy thing. Though, I know it's going to be tough when this baby arrives!! I also know that there will come a time when suddenly daddy will be fave :cry:

I think Certain is right, definitely go in for the big boy, your little helper type angle. Just make him feel really special that he is going to be so grown up and will be able to help out with his new little brother :cloud9:

But dont for one second think he doesn't love you anymore!! That is silly!! I think it's going to be a learning curve for you (and me!) that they are growing up - and are definitely not going to be our babies forever :cry:

Anyway, the gro-egg - I meant you can just have!!! I dont want any money for it :flower: Just PM me your address and i'll send it on Monday for you!

Certain - sounds like you had a lovely little send off, and how nice of them to get you the gift voucher! Still can't believe your boss was still being so miserable, but at least you do have some nice people you work with!!

I haven't really been getting swollen legs / ankles. I'm sure I will do though!! Just try and rest now that you have finished work!! Eeeeek can't believe you're on maternity leave!

Well I am taking DS to one of his little friends 2nd birthday parties today. It will be fun and stressful in equal measure!!!! I've managed to get him to go down for a nap now though, so hopefully he'll be in good spirits. He's really struggling with this "sharing" malarky... though saying that, the last couple of times he's been really good - so maybe we are cracking it!

My DS is 2 next Saturday!!!! :cry::cry::cry::cry: I cannot believe how fast these 2 years have gone!
