What a lovely neat bump Sarah! Can't believe you're 33 weeks already

AFM - latest midwife appointment didn't go massively well (well ok, they weren't concerned but typical neurotic new mum here is...), it's all explained in my journal. Boo.

Nice bump, Sarah!! Looks like a boy. Hehe you should be grateful you only just discovered heartburn with only a few weeks left to go.

Rachel-- Good that your iron is going up, though. Maybe that will be just what Eden needs and all will be well from here on out.

ETA: Got my peppermint hot chocolate. I could definitely see an addiction starting. It's really really good. Too bad I had to drive to three McDonald'seseses before I found one that wasn't cleaning their machine. I told the girl at the third one that if they said they were cleaning their machine I was going to have a breakdown. You don't thrice deny a pregnant lady her craving!!

Is it rly that good?!

 

[sspencer99]

Jen that blanket is beauts I live it n yay for ur hot choco wooo

Sarah love the bump and yes she's a girl lol

Room is yellow for spring baby

Sure there's more to say but I've totally forgotten lol xxx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Helen, yes, it's pretty good. I liked it a lot. I got a small and I wish I'd gotten a large. I'm wondering if they make a mix... or if I could make it myself by using a mix and then stirring it with a candy cane.
I should buy some hot chocolate mix.

We've got a yellow nursery too. Painted at about 11w as I was just too mental excited not to. Also I didn't rly want blue/pink as I think the room needed warming up. It's a nice colour anyway and we have green blinds and White furniture. Silly rly as baby won't sleep there for at least 6m!

Heartburn isn't fun at all but starting at 33w sounds like a bit of a lucky escape. Hope there's something you can take or maybe work out what sets you off.

Loving the baby pics on here, on profiles, angels, santas etc. Lovely!

Not long to go now Cran

 

[babydustcass]

Can't u get mint aero hot chic Jen for home!? I'm not sure if it Yates thee same as the peppermint one macs do as we don't have such a large array of drinks and foods avaiable at our Maccys here! When I went to Florida there was like a mac d's bistro!! Was awesome!

 

[sept10]

think the heartburn is fairly mild...a rennie sorted it out!!

Had DH xmas do last night - bump got lots of compliments!!

last week in work next week - not sure what ill do with myself after that...will have to go walking or swimming or something to keep active....

had a practise go at the perineal massage - not sure i can reach really to be effective so may have to ask DH..eek!

think yellow is lovely for a nursery .....ours is a neutral biscuit colour....furniture is antique pine and so far any decor stuff is polka dot green.....

 

[DrGomps]

Sarah, yay for your last week at work and turning in papers for uni!!! Love your bump...I think for you now too!!! You should share pics of your nursery!!

Rachel, love the piccys!! Sorry you are still having issues with Eden's feedings...hopefully she catches up soon.

Logan, yay for being done with xmas shopping!! YOu should share the santa/mckenna photos.

stacey, I think yellow is fab color for a nursery!! I also didn't want pink for Josie...and love the green I went for!!

regarding saving things...I am thinking of saving the bouncer/swing as they are really lovely and gender neutral.

Hope everyones weekend is going well...I am finishing up ordering photos/calendars of Josephine for gifts...hope my family doesn't mind getting nothing but Josephine gifts.

Morning, all!
Happy Monday... ugh...
Busy day yesterday. Christmas program at church, two services, and then lunch out, and then in the evening I went to a concert with my mom and my aunt. Dead tired last night and up in the middle of the night. Blah.
Just catching up... and now I'm craving another peppermint hot chocolate... so thanks for that!
29 weeks yesterday. It's starting to feel serious.

 

[cranberry987]

Perineal massage is definitely a mans job. Even if you can reach you have to angle your thumbs downwards which is just plain awkward and you have to do it for like 5mins. Also calling it massage is just misleading. It's plain ol fouf stretching!

I'm rly hoping that my mw are able to guide me so I don't tear. I know I dont wanna be yelled at to push and purple pushing is not happening. I feel like I'll want to breathe him out. Can't tell til it happens tho.

My stupid dh managed to stick epo up my bladder last night. No idea how and he's in the doghouse as it rly hurt! I made him get up at 6am to help me pump for 40 mins tho har har. Was his day off too!

I don't rly know what I'll do on maternity leave either. Have plans for today but other days I have things in diary but still hours and hours doing nothing. Might read all my parenting books I've been meaning to read!! What do ppl do tho? Clean the house for weeks on end?!

 

[truthbtold]

Ouch Helen that does not sound pleasant.

My hairdresser was telling me about her castor oil experience it really sounds tempting lol.

Jen I have already had my pepperminet hc fix for today lol so sad.

 

[cranberry987]

Someone at aqua aerobics swore by caster oil too. I've tried to buy it in the past for non inducing purposes and all the chemists refused to sell it! Anything to get you to shit yourself blind should work just as well tho!

 

[truthbtold]

lol that is funny!

 

[cranberry987]

For those with Easter babies!!

Ima get one!!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Hahahaha oh how cute!!
You know how I mentioned a sleeper with bunny ears and a tail... I was watching my Mad About You when Jamie is pregnant and they had one... so maybe subconsciously I remembered it from there.

Oh, Erika, I'm jealous!!! I want some NOW! But first I have to motivate myself to go get it... And I should do housework first... but without it, I don't know that I can find the strength to carry on... hahaha

Helen, when I was off work with my first pregnancy (for six months) I read a LOT. I mean like entire novels in two days. I would get my lawn chair and park it outside and just read for hours. I read like ONE pregnancy book and maybe two parenting books and I was like, eh, I'm good. And I moved on to fiction.
