OH is going to walk Connie round the shop in a bit so she will go to sleep in her pram.. also i need maryland cookies! Wanted to stay in sun longer but me and OH have taken turns so one of us can stay in with Connie didnt want to keep her out there too long.

Well the weather here this morning was crap but it got so lovely this afternoon that we decided to go out last minute. It involved lots of walking and my feet are absolutely killing. We walked down to the beach and played some crazy golf then walked around the beach up a big hill and went to the park and played football before going on the park then went to get an ice cream before walking all the way back...shattered now but worth it. Now, teas cooking, after tea I will put Toby in the bath before putting him to bed and then later am gonna take a lovely long bath myself. Toby is shattered so actually hoping she doesn't decide to come tonight as I don't want to disturb his sleep lol. It was a lovely day for what I hope will be the last Sunday before little miss is born (if I have to be induced it won't be until at least a week on Monday)

Sounds like you had a good day, we stayed around the house and in the garden. Connies now in bed had pains betwen 1 and 6 but now theyre gone... Seeems everytime I use clarysage it gets things going then stops.. or may just be coincidence. Connies in bed now so going to watch inbetweeners moovie as theres nothing on tele!

 

[misse04]

Right Ive had enough of the recommended amount of clary sage... I'm going to put ALOT in with some sunflower oil to put on bump and if it doesnt work I will not be happy!

 

[molly85]

have you tried it in the pillow?

 

[molly85]

Tomorrow I have a matt home we are soo doing something, tryingto beat the needle so to speak.

 

[misse04]

No i cant smell it in my pillow too haha i think its whats been making me be sick and feel sick but it does help me sleep.. Im also covered in it so should be able to carry on breathing it in especially after the amount ive just put on .. 15 drops in just under 2 teaspoons...i stink! Going to bed now too ... not trying THAT though ergg lol

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I'm gonna get in the bath soon...gonna put clary sage and rosemary oil in it but just to help me sleep and to help me relax. So achy after today! Just indulging on some well deserved doritos lol x

 

[molly85]

i've put this stuff on the back burner just scoffing pizza

 

[irmastar]

so sorry no more babies have arrived, I imagine how all of you must be feeling being overdue or almost hitting 40 weeks, I hope your babies decide to arrive soon..I am happy bc breastfeeding is getting better and better each day, even tho I have to use a stupid nipple shield on my right breast bc LO refuses it due to my stupid-ridiculous flat nipples, those things are a pain in the butt but worth it I guess, LO is still getting bottles at night but as soon as she finish them she demasnds breast yayyy, worried how am I gonna be able to leave the house for my 2 week PP app as I am so scared to NIP with the stupid nipple shield and if I skip a nursing session my breast become so engorged it is so painful to breastfeed ughhh. sending baby to you all

 

[misse04]

My bucket of clarysage method did nothing! shock lol

Glad its all going well irma!

Lets hope one of us is soon... got a feeling I'll be last now

 

[Broodypants]

Morning! Glad all is going well Irma, re NIP... Can you feed her in the car just before you go in or something? Hopefully then you'd be ok for a while... I never really liked NIP, I would do it but I didn't feel comfortable with it unless I was somewhere that was really child friendly like a play gym or something! I used to find nursing rooms or go back to my car if I didn't feel comfortable!

How is everyone else this morning? Hope you slept ok with the heat. Erin has taken to waking up at ten past six on the dot for the last three morning, not overly impressed! She was getting up around seven before which was much more sociable.

She's in nursery today so I'm planning my day, might pop to the shops and the bank... Exciting!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Found it awful to get to sleep was so uncomfortable and warm!!

Sick of this now wish LO would just come!!!

 

[misse04]

Lol Connie gets up 5.15-5.45! I slept awful! I was boiling and my pelvis was crumbling woke up to a couple of odd 'pains' so bored of that word. Me and Connie are off to asda in a sec once Ive done the washing up to avoid the afternoon rush! Want to get out for a walk today and enjoy the sun...take my mind off this baby!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Yeah I'm going to get OH up soon, go drop Toby off at his dad's but maybe go to the park on the way. Then we need to go shopping and into town and me and OH are thinking about maybe going to the beach later. I've stopped putting pads on in the hope that sods law will have my waters break when I'm out and not wearing a pad lol. I'm actually feeling really discouraged as I had been loosing loads of plug and that's pretty much stopped so I feel like my cervix will have completely replenished and be really thick so not favourable for my sweep at all. Dead tempted to just shove the rest of the evening primrose oil up there haha x

 

[Broodypants]

Misse that's not fun! Does Connie go to bed at a decent hour? Erin is normally in bed between seven and seven thirty so we get an evening which is nice.

KM I wish I could go to the beach today! Unfortunately we live about as far inland as you can get in the UK, near Oxford. Still we have the Thames, which is so pretty well in places!

When are you seeing your midwife for a sweep?

 

[molly85]

2 days to go!!!! Had to restart EPO so I don't kill Matt! Really nice of my IBS to show this morning the cramps nearly got me excited

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I see the Consultant on Wednesday Broody and that's when I get my sweep.

We've scrapped the beach idea as we've just realised it's now school holidays and so will be packed with tourists. We're gonna go for a pub lunch and enjoy a lovely beer garden instead. And then we're going to town shopping because I want new sheets for the bed and some new bath toys for Toby as his are getting quite grubby and all of our money has started coming in now so it's been so long since I've been able to treat him. Gonna buy it as his present from Lily. Also want to get something for OH to show how grateful I am for how brilliant (for the most part) he's been for the last 9 months. I'm feeling a little bad because when I get upset the only thing he knows how to express sympathy by is hugging me and I can't stand to be touched right now. Sometimes it's because I'm too warm and my skin just can't take being touched and sometimes it's because if he hugs me I'll cry and I don't want to cry lol x

 

[molly85]

KMB get OH a set of ear plugs he can use once a week lol Matt has them for working nights.

 

[Broodypants]

Aah KM, I'm sure he understands but that's very sweet of you! What do you think you will get him? Maybe you could write him out a hugs and kisses IOU or something cute to say that things will be better when Lily arrives!

I get the same with Bob sometimes, I know sometimes I have been too abrupt when he tries to be affectionate, I've been a bit better lately - we even managed to have sex twice in the space of a few days the other day, madness!
