Rachel said her iron didn't stop her up, either.
I have only taken it once so far, but hopefully it will do good things and not bad. I did get some senokot, though, if I need it.
Erika, that gives me hope that it made you feel better.
How long do you think it will take before I notice a difference? Honestly, I feel pretty good this afternoon, but I don't know if it could work that fast... it's only been about 6-7 hours since I took it.

If you don't stalk my journal... DS and I put together the stroller this afternoon...



I really really love it-- the way it looks, the way it handles, the way it folds down... I'm so happy with it.

 

[sspencer99]

It's lively Jen
I can't wait till I start getting all that stuff hehe

I bet it's anoying erika as u just want to drop

My lill girl is wriggling around like crazy
Maye she's loving lord of the rings as much as mummy who knows all three film word for word lol xxx

Awww, they say that after they're born, they will recognize sounds that they used to hear from inside the womb... And she's right around the age to start responding to sounds, isn't she?
Crumb used to get wiggly when I put on Mad About You at night. Although that could've been a coincidence since it was always about the same time when I lay down to go to bed...

 

[QueenVic]

My irons been fine so far which I'm pleased about with not eating meat, make sure I get it from other sources but as far going to the toilet issue that chops and changes all the time! Really don't want to be bunged up going into labour

Oh stace that reminds me I meant to say this morning Pickle was going MAD last night for hours !! It was actually really uncomfy/sore, felt like he was trying to break out of my tummy !!
Then when I went to bed felt like I had dull period pain for a while but today all seems back to normal

 

[truthbtold]

Lol Jen I felt better the next day I take 325mg a day. And it looks like you might need a double stroller lol.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Crumb was doing that today-- the thing where s/he tries to break out through my belly-- just when I lay down for a rest. Makes it hard to rest when they do that.

I had a pain last night that felt like it started at the top of my birth canal and radiated down and out my hoohah... it was weird. It really hurt, so I sat down right away, and then nothing else. I never felt anything like it with DS, so I have no idea what it was. Every now and then I get weird pains and then they don't come back.

My dr has me on 325 mg twice a day. Hopefully I start feeling better by tomorrow. That would be great, not to feel so tired and breathless.

Yeah, I was surprised DS had any interest in the stroller. He hasn't wanted to ride in one in a couple years. So I pushed him around the house a little bit... I told him how I used to do that when he was a baby and he was cranky.
Hehe at first when he climbed in, I was a little afraid it would collapse right under him!! But it was fine. Good thing I got one that goes up to 50 lbs!

Hey ladies

Happy new year to everyone!

We have had a sad start to the year unfortunately, Astons Grandad died suddenly so it hasnt been the bests of starts. We only saw him last friday, when on a whim we drove the 3 hrs to kent to see friends and family before the new year came in. Its comforting to know we got to see him one last time and spend some time with him, he got to meet his second great granchild too, which i know he will treasure. Funeral is on te 24th so we are back to Kent then, really not looking forwards to it. Right now its not really sunk in as we are detached from it here away from the family, but when we see them i know its going to be a very emotional and sad day. I hope that day we can celebrate his fantastic and full life, rather than mourn for his death as he wouldn't have wanted that.
We have been really busy, I am back working and so there is little time for the forums at the moment. We have started to get well under way with wedding planning now, we have found our venue and next week getting together with the owner to go through final prices and ideas. Its really exciting, we are going to march 2013 so i have a fair bit of time to plan and we have enough time to save.

Macie is doing great, growing so fast my little muffin is almost out of all her newborn clothes. Last night she went 6.5hrs of solid sleep which was nice Shes a real smiley baby, when her eyes are open she is smiling all the time and today we are getting a bit of talk from her, its so cute and she has such a girly voice.
George is totally in love with his little sister and loves to play doting brother helping me out. He had a fabulous christmas and is looking forwards to his Birthday on the 28th, when he will be 4.... starting school in September!!! OMG!

I havent had a chance to read back over all the chat but i did pick up a few bits along the way.

Congratulations Ysa!!! Such wonderful news

Goodluck to the ladies due to pop very soon, wishing you easy births and healthy babies!

Hope all the ladies who have a bit to go yet are having wonderful easy pregnancies! Enjoy it ladies, i do miss my bump so much, although i enjoyed it to the very end. I look at my girl and cant believe she is here, all the wondering and excitement is over, now it's the FUN part.
hoping to get on a bit more in the coming weeks, i really miss chatting and being a part of the thread. Need to get on top of the work here and then I will have a bit more time free
Cassiexx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Oh my gosh, Cassie, I can't believe you're back to work already!!

So sorry to hear about Aston's granddad. At least he got to see Macie.

Yay for wedding planning!! Wow, by then, George will be 5 and Macie will be walking and talking and everything!! Are they going to be in the wedding? How cute would that be?

I can't believe in the next 7 weeks we're going to have FIVE MORE BABIES!!!

 

[babydustcass]

Five wow!!! Amazing! Maybe by my wedding there will be more babies on the way? Anyone planning another soon after??? Lol no more here for me hehehe
Yes Jen macie and George will be able to walk up the isle holding hands... Sooo cute
All this wedding malarky, I really have no choice but to work, it's a good job I love it eh!! Lol

How are you Jen? Is thomas starting to notice? George tells some funny stories about how macie arrived on this earth haha xxx

 

[sspencer99]

Morning all

Jen she's at the hearing stage now
Wow five more followed by me followed yAsa how exciting

Happy 39 weeks vicky

I plan to enjoy my lill girl for a bit before we start trying again so maybe when she a yr we will start trying for number two xx

 

[truthbtold]

Happy 39 weeks Vic.....its show down time whose it gonna be lol. Im still thinking your odds are better than mine.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Cassie, that will be sooo cute to see them walk down the aisle together!!

I'm thinking maybe we'll be just starting to ttc again by that time. If we decide we want a third. Right now I'm not sure. I might be happy with two. I'm already worried enough as it is about how I will love them both enough. If I have three, I might be spread too thin.

Happy 39 weeks, Vicki!!

Either one of you could go at any time now...
I'm gonna say...
Erika on the 10th
Vicki on the 20th
Sarah on the 30th.
Based on nothing other than how nice the numbers look.

 

[truthbtold]

Jen im sure you will love them both equally. I only had one son for 7 years I was wondering how I could manage with a baby since me and my oldest had such a close bond but it all worked out because my youngest is a daddies boy lol. But your heart just grows with each child you bring into the world this time I dont have those worries. Im more worried about how this boy will fit in with the other two because even though they are 7 years apart they are super close.

 

[DrGomps]

wow, lots to catch up on...

Isabel, why dont they think its an ectopic anymore?? Big

Aw,Stacey, its nice when they can react to sound.

Erika, I remember thinking there was no way I would make it to my due date and the thought of going past was overwhelming. Don't worry about complications, they will monitor you baby and check placenta health. If there are any problems they would just deliver you. 2 cms is good though.

Cassie, good to see you on here. sorry to hear about aston's grandfather.Its pretty amazing you got to see him right before though. Yay for wedding planning. glad macie is doing well.

I can't believe how many babies are coming in the next few weeks...

AFM, things are good here. Josephine has been a bit fussy since her jabs, so I actually gave her some gripe water which seemed to work nicely.

Other then that, just enjoying our last few days in new york before we go on our epic trip.

 

[QueenVic]

I used to LOVE gripe water !

Cassie nice to hear from u but so sorry about astons grandad, thank god u went and saw them, must of been fate.. Wedding planning must be soooooo exciting !!

I kind of hope your right Jen and then I would well and truly have got rid of this cold bug by then !! Hmm maybe a bit earlier than the 20th would be nice though, hehe..

HAPPY 33 WEEKS JEN
