Morning:wave:

Aww ur poor DS!! Yeah id def be taking him back to the doctors!! Poor wee lamb that he is! Ud think that 2 weeks is plenty of time to get the virus out his system! When Brandon had his viral infection, the hospital gave him stronger paracetemol than calpol & it really made a difference quickly! So u could maybe ask for that! Let us kno how uz get on!

Lol i didnt have any signs of labour starting before my waters broke! Lol maybe we should stop looking for signs! Its like TTC again, all the symptom spotting!

Hoping - How u feeling? R u back at work now?

Xxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Yeah, the doctors are just being really shit. They are so arrogant and dismissive that it's nothing without even wanting to see him! I think I am going to have to have a fight when I go down...I hate being one of those people who are pushy with doctors, but just being nice and doing what they are saying is not helping!

Haha, yeh I think we should probably stop looking for signs. It is like TTC! haha! I would really really like him to arrive this weekend though!!!!

Do you have anything nice planned today?

x x x

 

[steph1505]

Aw u defo need to be one of those mums!! I said to a doctor "u dont know my son, i do! I know there is something wrong!!" I think if they see that u wont back down then they'll do more! Grr!!

Aw i def want baby here this weekend too! That'd be funny if we went on the same day haha!

Im goin over to see OHs mum today, she hasnt seen Brandon since she got out of hospital so thot id take him over to see her!

Are u doin much apart from the doctors?

Xxxx

 

[smiley330]

Ah is your OH's mum out of hospital now? How is she?

Well I actually managed to see a decent doctor and he's given DS some antibiotics - hooray!! Hopefully that will help quickly! He said he's got a chest infection and I think the fact DS was on fire when i took him helped his case as well! So he's all tucked up in bed dosed up again with various medicines

Haha Steph, I'd love it if we went into labour at the same time - would make me laugh! FX for this weekend!!

Just about to have a bath, I've got the mother of all headaches at the mo so hoping it does one soon!

x x x x

Hey girls.
Sorry been Mia but had so much work yo catch upon with me being off last week. Back today then break up for easter thurs. Feeling a lot better got appetite back. Had a couple of rough days were couldn't even face water, but apart from feeling a bit weak and tired am fine.

Certain- lovely to hear from you. Hope you enjoying motherhood. Sorry to hear about shitty midwife, there is always one.

It's April- 2 spring babies are due. How am I going to know if you both go into labour at same time????????

Sorry to hear your ds is not well smiley. Hopefully antibiotics will help him get better quickly.

Right off to bed. Will be looking for labour waves!!! Xxxx

 

[steph1505]

Good morning!

Smiley - Aww thats good that u got a good doctor!! Makes a difference!! Thats terrible that other docs would have left him when he has a chest infection! Poor wee lamb!! Hopefully the antibiotics kick in quickly and he'll back to his old self!

Hows the headache? Did the bath soothe it? Hope so!

Hoping - aw glad ur feeling a bit better!! Ul really enjoy the easter break!! How long do u get off? The schools here stopped last friday!

Lol dont worry, il let uz kno when im in labour!!

AFM - ive had a rubbish sleep! I was up loads, in pain! But its clearly not labour! My whole body is aching now tho, especially my legs! Dont know what it was! I think i lost quite a big bit of my plug last nite, not sure tho! It was disgusting! Lol! OH is off today and we are going a wander round the shops! So hopefully the walking will do me some good!

Im jst gonna have a wee rant tho, i wanted to go out for lunch or sumthing but my bloody store manager didnt 'authorise' my wages to be repaid to me til yesterday!!! So now i wont get the rest of my money til Friday! I was raging when OH came in and told me yesterday!!

Wots everyones plans for today? Hoping...sorry, ur working!! Xxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Morning! :wave:

Hoping - glad you are feeling better lovely being that poorly really takes it out of you though so be sure to rest when u can! Are you not on Easter hols now? Schools here broke up same as Stephs last Friday!

Steph - Oh I hope this is the start of things for you! Yes, be sure to go out for a nice long walk today and see if that gets things moving You're 39 weeks tomorrow aren't you!!! That's when things started for me with DS... surely you wont be pregnant much longer

That's crap about your money!!!! How come she only authorised it yesterday? I'd have rung up and had a right moan at them!

Yeh DS has woken up today MUCH better already!!! Can still hear he's not quite right, but he's a lot happier - so FX that will be that now! It would have been terrible timing for him to be so poorly when the baby arrives. He wouldn't leave my side all yesterday and nobody else would do!

Well plans for today.... I am not feeling too great, still got this headache and generally just feeling a bit crappy so nothing too exciting! I think MIL wants to take DS out for lunch so I shall prob have a quick nap if she does take him!

x x x

 

[steph1505]

Yeah 39 weeks tomorrow! Cant believe it! Only 8days til due date...how did that happen haha?! Aw i really hope its something happening! I bet im still pregnant at 41 weeks haha!

Aww thats so good ur DS is much better! Hopefully hes totally better by 2moro! Its such a wee shame for them, especially when they r so clingy!

Aww thats good ur MIL is gonna take DS for a bit! Defo a good idea to go for a nap!! Thats always my first choice when Brandon goes for a sleep! Hope ur not comin down with anythin!! Def try sleep it off!!

Ugh my manager must clearly not realise how important a couple of hundred pounds is to us poor folk! Hes on 100K a year so i dont imagine he knew how important our money was to us! Lol im such a bitch but i dont care!!

Xxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Wow, 8 days till due date - that makes it sound so close! I know it is close, but just saying 8 days - eeeeekk! Come on baby, time to come out!!

Hahaha! Love your rant at your manager! x x x

 

[steph1505]

Lol i kno! Single digits is a bit scary! That'll be u in 5 days lol! Eek!!

Hows ur headache now? Did u get ur nap?

Ive been gettin loads of BH today! I had been taken raspberry leaf capsules but changed to the tea, i dnt know if thats causing them!

I meant to ask, have u got ur DS a present from baby yet? I have no idea what to get Brandon!! Xxx

 

[smiley330]

Morning!! :wave:

Steph - Headache is still lurking, keeps coming and going and I can't properly shift it. I have noticed a weird lump on the side of my head though, right at the temple?? It's slightly concerning, not quite sure what it is but it's really sore. It feels like i've been punched in the head (or banged my head on something) but I defo haven't hit my head at any point.

Strange.

I have heard that the tea is more effective than the tablets and gives people more BH? But I've only ever had the tea so can't really comment. I got loads and loads of BH yesterday evening though - was hoping they would turn into the real thing but NOPE.

Haha I was going to ask you actually if you'd gotten Brandon anything yet as I still hadn't got my DS something. I wanted to get him a Woody or a Buzz but had a look and the big ones are like £45 each!!!!

I was meant to say to you as well, I saw your status yesterday about Olly Murs.... my DS has the BIGGEST obsession with him as well!! It's so funny. In particular "heart skips a beat" - he knows all the words and sings and dances to it all the time!! hahaha!

x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Morning:wave:

Hhhmmm...thats really strange about ur head!! U should really get to the doctors about that! It could be nothin but u dont wanna take chances! Even if they put ur mind at ease!

Lol BH are so infuriating! I continually think they'll turn into more! Lol were not doing very good at not looking for signs haha!!

OMG i wonder if there is somethin about Mr Murs that kids love! Brandon absolutely loves 'Dance with me' but recently he just wants to listen to his album constantly! And we were at sainsburys yesterday and a guy walked past us in the type of hat olly wears and Brandon goes chasing after him shouting "Olly Murs! Wait for me!!" I was mortified haha! Lol they r so cute when they sing arent they? Haha! This is probably quite a bad thing, but Brandon also sings "sexy and i know it" by LMFAO! I didnt teach him it, hes jst picked it up off the music channels!

Aww i kno, Buzz and Woody r really expensive! I got Brandons in a half price sale! I couldnt justify spending that! I really dont know what to get Brandon but il need to get it soon! Hhhmmm!! Its so hard! Did u get ur DS to make Squiggle a teddy?

Ive got my consultant appointment tomorro morning! I really hope she examines me and im 4cm!! Lol thats my ideal situation! Haha! Xxxxxx

 

[steph1505]

Oooh! Happy 38 weeks to u!

Xxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Hahaha, that is so funny! I can just imagine if DS thought he saw Olly Murs! Did I tell you the fish he got for his birthday are called Olly and Murs Oh dear! Awww I bet it's so funny seeing him sing that, it's funny which songs they pick up and start singing isn't it. We don't really watch the music channels that much at the mo, but I don't suppose it'll be long till he starts singing something inappropriate!

No he hasn't made the teddy yet either, OH is thinking that he will just take DS to choose something on the way to the hospital (it's just going to be OH and DS picking us up) - which is kind of last minute, but if OH wants to rush about and do that it's up to him!

Ooh what is this appointment for again? To see if you can still go ahead with the vbac? FX for 4cm!!!

x x x x x x

 

[smiley330]

Oooh! Happy 38 weeks to u!

Xxxxxx

Ooh thank you!! Happy 39 weeks to you!!! x

 

[steph1505]

Aaaah! Ur fish are Olly and Murs!!!! That is BRILLIANT!!!! Haha i actually love that!!

Aww that'll be nice for ur OH to do with DS!! I wouldnt trust my OH to remember lol! He was a nitemare with getting stuff last time so i planned ahead haha!! Its jst gonna be OH and Brandon pickin us up too...and ive warned him to take me straight home! No goin to MILs or anythin lol!! He gives me this look of "as if i would do that" but i know it prob crossed his mind!!

Tbh i dnt even kno what the appointment is for! She said she would check to see wot stage im at (?) Im 39 weeks...thats wot stage im at! And she will also give me my csection date i think for just incase i go late! Im not 100% sure tho! Xxxx

 

[smiley330]

I know, poor fish! ... but that's what DS wanted to call them, so that's what they are!

To be honest, I don't fully trust OH but if he doesn't manage to get it after saying he would I have warned him I am likely to kill him!!! And yep - i've giving him the same "we are going straight home" speech. I have also told him not to arrange any kind of visits without speaking to me first... I think we're on the same wave length (ie. I don't really want to be bombarded with visitors straight away) but I am sure he'll speak to his family without me and before I know it they'll all be over! I just don't want to rush anything this time - that make sense? I want time for us 4 to settle (even if it's for a day!) before everyone else hits.

Haha, sounds like a good appointment then! So if you go late you'll get the c-sec instead? Ooh that is exciting to know you'll have a definite date though!

I've just been for a walk round town... hoping to give little Squiggle a kick up the bum... Nothing.

x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Lol i love those names for the fish haha!

Haha def sounds like were on the same wave length! Ive put a ban on visitors at the hospital! Except from granparents! I never thot id be one of those women but i can remember how overwhelming it was last time! I remember the 2nd nite in hospital, ELEVEN people turned up! So ive said to people they can wait til i give the go-ahead! Im sure there will be some that dnt listen tho lol!

Aaww give it time, maybe ur walk will kickstart something 2nite! I think were being really impatient...were not even at our due dates haha! Prob cos our DS's came early, we expect these ones to do the same!! Grr! Lol!

We r stayin at MILs tonight so she can get up wih Brandon 2moro mornin cos the appointment is at 9am! But OH is workin backshift and MIL is out too so il be left in with OHs stepdad! Hhmmm...fun night think il be takin myself for a loooong bath!

MIL suggested the other day that we just move in with her til i go into labour so that Brandon is already there! Em...no! I love the woman dearly but theres no place like i home! I want to labour in my own house...i had my entire labour at her house last time! I kno she is only tryin to be nice but...no! Sorry, that turned into a bit of a rant lol! Xxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Oh i've said no visitors at all to the hospital either.. not even the grandparents!! I know, it seems a bit mean - but I don't care, haha!

Yeah I was thinking i'm just being impatient, i'm only 38 weeks today - so still plenty of time for him to arrive before the dreaded "overdue" stage!! I was just assuming that he would arrive earlier than DS1 did - that's how it's meant to work!!

Haha, I can see why you are saying no to your MIL's offer - I'm sure she means well, but yeah... no way!

Enjoy a nice bath tonight though!! It's OBEM night as well, will you be able to watch that? Last episode!! x x x

 

[steph1505]

Oh wow have u said no visitors?? Im impressed! I wouldnt dare haha!! Its different this time tho cos we have to introduce the big brothers!

Yeah im gonna watch OBEM! MIL loves it so we'll wath it when she comes back in! Did u see theres a programme on 2moro nite catching up with all the babies from last year!

Xxxxxx
