OMG!!

I totally thought i was in labour last nite!! It must have just been BH i was having bit they were coming every 10 mins bang on and were BLOODY PAINFUL!! I had to lean over the couch and breathe throught them!! And i felt like i was gonna throw up!! I am soooo screwed in labour if i cant even handle a couple of hours of BH!!

Wots everyones plans for this weekend?? Xxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Morning!

Oooh Steph - that's exciting!! Maybe you are in slow labour and they weren't BH?? Either way, sounds like things could be getting ready!

Too exciting!

I am meeting up with some friends this afternoon for one of my friends birthday's. Going to have some lunch etc, then I think they'll go out and i'll waddle back home! OH is out tonight - staying out in London, and DS will be at nanny and grandads, so i'll have a whole night to myself!! I was planning on going out with the girls, but I don't think the spd will let me.

What are your plans? x x x

 

[steph1505]

Im not in any pain anymore so mustve just been BH!! OH was totally panicking cos his mums in spain and i promised i wouldnt have baby til shes home haha!! Im not mentally prepared for him to arrive just yet...starting to feel very scared so id like another few weeks to prepare myself haha!!

Aaaw that sounds like a good afternoon!! Yum yum!! And an empty house 2nite sounds bliss!! Wot will u do with ureself?

Ive not got any plans! OHs at work til 4pm and i cant drive the other car becos the bloody tax disk still hasnt arrived! Maybe take brandon a wee walk later if it brightens up! And if not then...jammie day!! Lol!

Xxxxxx

Morning -

Steph - oooo exciting but sorry to hear you were in pain! keep an eye on it - another 2 weeks would be ok btw you can drive the car without a tax disc as long as you have paid and its on its way - its all done online now so the police (eek) could check if they needed to. How did your OHs interview go?

Smiley - sounds like a nice day planned and how nice to have some peace this eve enjoy!

AFM - were popping out to the farmers market and then this afternoon were going over to the house of someone we met at antenatal - hoping to make some more friends with babies!
LO gave us a scare today as she was sooo quiet this morn - just one wiggle in 1.5hrs! but a cuppa tea and a sweetish cereal bar seems to have woken her up...phew! Im getting so paranoid!

ps Im full term!!!!

 

[steph1505]

Oooooh happy full term certain!! Wot a huuuuge milestone eeeek!!

Thats so nice that uz are making baby friends!! Are they due around the same time as u? How nice

Aww its so scary when they hardly move isnt it? U work urself into such a panic! I was like that the other nite! I defo think stuffing ur face with sugar is the way to get them going!!

OH thinks his interview went well, he'l find out by end of next week! The guy still had 3 interviews to do so i jst need to hope that they are all rubbish!! My OH is right into IT and its such a shame that he had to go work in sainsburys cos hes now been out of IT for a few years! But the interview told him that the rest of the applicants were recent graduates so i hope OHs experience will give him a wee edge! We'll jst need to see!

My tax disk just arrived there in the post so i wont be getting arrested haha!! Id hate to be pulled over so i didnt wanna risk it lol! My cousin got pulled over last week for not having her tax disk displayed becos her holder had lost all its stickiness...so it wasnt stuck to her windscreen but it was lying on the dashboard...but they still fined her £60!!

Xxxxxx

 

[CertainTurton]

Wow seriously!? They still charged her? Will def be more careful now!
Glad to hear the interview went well, experience is always good my DH is a web developer and he would hate to not be doing it!

 

[steph1505]

Lol its defo in their blood isnt it? Haha! My OH is suuuch a geek (its why i love him) and he loves making spreadsheets and graphs for all aspects of our life haha!! So he has been miserable at work for the past few years so would love it if he got this job! And i forgot how handsome he looked in a suit !

Xxxxxxx

 

[steph1505]

Oh!! And certain... dont forget u promised us a bump pic!! xxxxxc

 

[steph1505]

Aww! OH came from work there and had a bag with him! Look wot a girl in work made...

I cant believe she made them! Soooo nice of her! I love them! xxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Ah Steph, how lovely of her!!! They are amazing!!

Well this afternoon turned out to be a surprise baby shower! Just a small thing with my closest friends, but it was so lovely!! I genuinely didn't have a clue!
So ive had a great afternoon just got home now and I'm in the bath (with my phone) and going to watch something on my laptop.

Going to just relax and enjoy the house to myself I think!

How's everyone else's day been?

Happy full term day Certain!!!! x x x

 

[steph1505]

Aaaaw!! Thats sooooo nice of ur friends to do that!! Aaww wot a lovely suprise for u!! Wot sort of stuff did they do? Ive never been to or had a baby shower so would love to know all the details

Lol dont be dropping ur phone now!

Ive done nothing all day lol! Brandon and i ended up napping for 3 hours lol so that took up quite a lot of my day haha! Ah its so hard being on maternity leave!! Lol! Xxxx

 

[smiley330]

Ah a 3 hour nap sounds wonderful!

I totally wasn't expecting it, I had quite a big baby shower for DS1 and didn't want anyone to feel like they had to buy gifts and things again (got so much last time) and because my friend is preg as well with her first I didn't want to try take any focus off her (if u know what I mean).

So yeah was really nice of them. We played games, had lots of food and cakes an they got some lovely gifts. Some adorable baby grows and also a few things for myself. I cried when I walked in and saw the baby decoration bits! Really thought it was just a get together for my friends birthday! x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Aaaw thats soooo nice of them!! Im rather jealous lol!! Aww ur so cute that u cried!

Eek presents!! Thats soooo nice of them!! Aw i know what u mean abt not wanting to steal the focus off ur friend but i bet she didnt mind at all! Aaaaw! Soooo nice!!

Lol i want a baby shower now haha!!

Xxxx

 

[smiley330]

Yeah, we're actually having a big surprise baby shower for my friend as well - so that'll be nice for her.(lots of her family and friends) It's very close to my due date though, so i'm hoping this baby comes a couple weeks early so that i'll be in some sort of fit state to venture out for it!!

Aw, come down here - I will do u a baby shower!! x

 

[steph1505]

Aaaaw are uz?? Aaah thats amazing!! How far along is ur friend? Aw it would be good if Squiggle is here for her shower, like u say, means u wont be sitting there all fed up of being pregnant lol!

Lol aaw thanks!! *ding dong* haha!! Lol my OH would die if anyone bought me anything else...haha he moans enough as it is!

Xxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Happy Sunday!! Oh I love Sunday's! Well DS is still with nanny and grandad, they have taken him out for a picnic so he'll be back early afternoon ish. So I took a trip over to the big Mothercare, which is sandwiched between Mama's and Papa's and Boots

Got all my last bits for the hospital bag, got lots of painkillers for after the birth, more mat pads, more pants and couple of little outfits for Squiggle! Now I just need to decide what I want him to come home in... Having trouble picking. Also finding it really hard to choose between buying newborn and 0-3 months stuff, I am assuming he's going to be at least 9lbs, so have only got about 3 things in newborn...I guess i'll just keep the tags incase he's any bigger!!

Hope you all have a nice day! x x x

 

[smiley330]

Here are the bits I just bought Also got some more hats, socks and scratch mits! EXCITING!!!!

 

[steph1505]

Happy sunday to u too!!

Sounds like uv had a good one already!! A mamas and papas, mothercare and boots all in a row sounds like my idea of HEAVEN!! Haha!!

Ooooh can we see piccies of wot u bought?? Ive got 3 newborn sleepsuits, 2 newborn onesies and 3 newborn vests! Just incase! But the rest is 0-3! I dnt see much point in buying lots of newborn cos they grow so fast so they might only wear the newborn stuff once! Altho, with the amount of clothes ive bought il be lucky if he wears anything twice !!

Oh i never thot abt pain killers!! When i had the csection they sent me home with loads of really strong pain killers but i dnt suppose they do that with normal deliveries!! Good shout! I shall be stocking up!!

I packed my bag the other day!! It seems huge but id rather take in too much than too little! Ive packed extra clothes just incase i get a csection!

AFM - well Brandons away for a nap so im gonna use this time to be extremely heartless and clear out his toys!! Ive already done his cuddly toys this morning! I was gonna put a hammock up in his room with all his cuddly toys but its just gonna collect dust so whats the point! Im keeping them 'incase he wants them when hes older!!' Lol ridiculous! I jst need to start being ruthless! So thats my Sunday lol!

Xxxxx

 

[steph1505]

Ooooh!!! U put pics up!!! Yay!

They wee outfits are sooooo cute!!! I love the wee collars!! So so cute!! Wot r ur options for the coming home outfit?

Ive noticed as well that ive moved onto the last box of my ticker!! Scary.com!! Xxxx

 

[smiley330]

Haha yeah - just put them up!

I don't know really, maybe one of the things i've bought today? I'm not really getting any proper outfits, just sleep suit type things - so maybe just the white one that I got today? I've got a white cardigan as well to put over.... or maybe the blue one one with the vest (in the first pic)....

It's tough!

Omg - you are in the last box!! Scary!! Haha, but very exciting!

Yeah, I remember last time having to send OH out to get loads of painkillers in. I got codeine and paracetamol combo. Oh and also some arnica tablets, I took them last time - not sure if it helped, but defo can't hurt the recovery!

Oh yeah, you do have to be totally ruthless - keep nothing that isn't really needed!!!!! Good luck!
