Awwwww, so sweet! Her little hands!!

You might as well focus on Christmas now, right? It's after Thanksgiving... that's generally when people put stuff up here... Never occurred to me that you all don't have that marker... When does OH think it would be okay to put the tree up?

How much time are you taking off with her before starting back to work? I would guess you can sort of ease back into it as you're feeling ready?

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Oh, and you're still "a wee bit preggo"

 

[Sun_Flower]

I was gonna do the Xmas decorations starting today, just organising what can go up in the new house and stuff - but although OH brought all the boxes to the front of the garage, he 'cant be bothered' to bring them into the house until tomorrow, so I am very bored!! lol

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Just read where the most popular day for first babies to be born is 41+1 or 41+2... Maybe climb some steps?

Sorry to say that every time you post, Rachel, I think it's gonna be, guess what-- I'm in labor!!

Tell OH that you need something to do and if he doesn't bring the boxes in, you'll do it yourself! That should motivate him...

 

[Sun_Flower]

I'd be running up and down stairs all the time if I could, but we live in a bloody bungalow - a single story house! lol. We're going for walks every day, and I'm still getting gross mucousy stuff every time I wipe, in varying amounts since my failed sweep yesterday. Just trying to keep busy, which OH is not helping with! lol xx

 

[QueenVic]

Gorgeous pics Cass, wat a little cutie

Raych we have a bungalow too so long walks it is !

Can't wait to do our Xmas tree, it gets delivered next weekend YAY

My baby shower tomorrow eek not sure what to expect but looking forward to it

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Ooh, yay for your shower, Vicki!! Have fun!! Lots of pics!!

 

[babydustcass]

ooo lots of pics of your shower Vicki please, have a great time! I am sure it'll be a hoot!

people usually put their tree up here anywhere from the 1st of Dec when the kids start opening their advent calenders. My mum always traditionally put hers up on the 3rd as its her birthday. I am feeling very much in the spirit now, like you say, might as well focus on Christmas now.

We have done all of Georges xmas presents, just have to wrap a few more. I started wrapping them with my bump and started to get a bit frustrated with the less square shaped pressies lol... I seriously dont understand the logic or appeal of some packaging! You just cant wrap them nicely lol

Oh pointed out it would be better if we waited for our new mirror to arrive before we attempt to put up decorations, which kinda makes sense. So long as the mirror arrives before next weekend

 

[QueenVic]

Cass u are coming across remarkably normal and relaxed for someone who has just had a baby !!!

I'm jealous already haha

 

[sspencer99]

Hey all
Guess what I'm I'll again just woke up this morning in comPlete pain in my legs and backside lol I hope its gone by tomorrow as going to xfactor

Vic ull love tue shower I'm sure x
Aww rach I hope it happens for you soon

And cass what beautiful pics what a beautiful baby xxx

And guys my Xmas tree went up yesterday but in all fairness it's only 3ft xx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Haha Stacey, mine's little, too, but we need to move furniture around and bring an end table in from either our bedroom or the basement... otherwise I'd just do it myself instead of waiting for DH to do it.
I've started bugging him, though.
Hope you are feeling better soon!

Hehe Vicki, Cassie does sound remarkably sane and relaxed... but keep in mind she is also the one who was 5 cm when she went into the hospital and had her baby with only gas and air!! I think Superwoman is in our midst!!

My brother's birthday is Dec 14, and in recent years he's put up a fight with my poor mom about putting up the tree and decorations before his birthday-- as though Christmas is stealing his thunder. Pretty silly considering he's 28!

Went to the store with my mom today... now feeling completely knackered. Thinking of skipping DS's bath... since we won't be going anywhere tomorrow anyway.

 

[Sun_Flower]

I think I'm going to put my decorations up today. Sod it, it's nearly December, and I need something to distract me from still not being in labour lol. Going to give OH a kick up the backside to get the decorations in, and then I'll start *nods*

 

[cranberry987]

We usually do our tree around mid dec. It's going up today tho this year! I'm home birth eligible from Tuesday and I wanna give birth to fairy lights! dh not happy about early tree but screw him!

Thinking about going to a gig in march. Would hopefully be expressing at least one bottle a day by then. Whatcha reckon. Too soon? Would leave him with rich or my parents depending in who came with

 

[Sun_Flower]

LOL giving birth to fairy lights, how awesome! I think it's funny that OH told me he couldn't be bothered to get the decorations in last night and that he'd do it this morning, but it's now CHUCKING it down with rain and I said 'don't you wish you'd done it last night now? cos you're still getting them in even though it's raining, you promised' TEE HEE HEE I'm not evil at all...

I think by March you should be fine to go to a gig - you'll probably have a routine sorted and could express (if you're planning on BF) and leave bubs with someone for a couple of hours. Look at Andrea she managed to go to the cinema and Josie's only a month old!

 

[cranberry987]

Haha. Teach him to procrastinate

 

[AmaryllisRed]

A gig? You mean like a concert?

I think you ladies are perfectly reasonable in putting your trees up now. You definitely want to get it done before the babies come!

Happy 33 weeks, Vicki!!

AFM-- 27 weeks today!
In case you don't read my journal, here's a bump pic.

Haha to me it almost looks fake, like I stuck a throw pillow under my shirt.

 

[Sun_Flower]

Lol Jen it's a very cute neat bump! I have a tree up now, and a few decorations around the room. Going to do the rest after lunch I think. My kitten is very interested in the tree, she keeps trying to eat the bottom branches. I'm waiting for the crashing noise when she tries to climb it and it ends up on the floor...

 

[AmaryllisRed]

No, kitty, NO!!!
Is this her first Christmas tree?
Yay for getting the decorations started!!

(Maybe if we don't talk about that other thing... it'll start to happen?)
