Trimester 9 & 3/4: For All of Us "In Between" Ladies

[lilbeanfolk]

Mama T - Judge you?? That sounds awesome!!! I have to say personally I might be uncomfortable with the live in part, just because I wouldn't be used to it. But we have a big house too (3800 sq ft) and between both of us working and only having weekends off, we have cleaners about 2 yrs ago that come in every other week and clean top to bottom, it's my favorite day to come home from work with the house sparkling and smelling lovely!!

Can I ask?? Are you in Kuwait for work or family? Staying long?? Where are you from?

we are here for work only, my husband is from the states (CA), I'm from Germany, thats where we met when he was stationed there, after he got out of the army, he started contracting for the army and eventually ended up in the desert! we have no idea how long we will be here but until they pull out all the troops from places like Afghanistan and Iraq, there will be a good job here for him! I worked as a kindergarten teacher for the past 3 years but decided now that we have a LO on the way to just be a SAHM again

Thanks for sharing and stay safe over there, sounds like quite the adventure. My husband is Navy, we didn't move quite so far when he retired just from Southern to Northern California

My husband was in the marine corp but I didn't meet him till after he was out so never had the military wife thing. Best of Luck Mama T. I hope you go home soon!

My stepsons mom (we are really close) came over last night & helped (actually I kinda just watched) clean out his playroom & bedroom & consolidate all of his stuff & furniture & toys & school stuff into his bedroom!!!! Making room for the nursery!!! It's now completely empty ready to be painted & then I finally get to start puttin together all those boxes with furniture that are pled high in the garage!!! Yippee!! I'm so excited! She rocks!! It would've taken me forever to organize all of his stuff. Just wanted to share

Today, the temperature is only about 15 degrees celsius.
With strong winds, and very heavy rain.
Not like mid-July weather at all. Oh well.
Whats the weather like where you are?

I envy the temperatures you girls are dealing with, here we have had highs of anywhere between 47 and 50 degrees Celsius, so im pretty much indoors all day, if i have to go out i try to get it done as early in the morning as i can!

Sheesh, justthe thought of thatis making me sweat lol. I'm in Cyprus for 2 wks taking kids to see their dad and it's been up to about 36 degrees so far and at night the heat is killing me. Saying that, it was about 15 degrees when i left the uk. It's taking a bit of getting used to lol

 

[pbuggy2284]

The temp has been 98 here and real feel 112 so hot. Its like walking into a wall when you go outside..

DH and I are leaving for the Keys to go to mini lobster season today. I'm sweating just thinking about it. I will be stuck with 3 very drunk and obnoxious people for the entire week in this rotten heat UGH!! Wish me luck

[HappiestMom]

oh yay cant wait to see your scan pics..give me some idea of what mine will look like!!...just a few more days till mine...I almost passed out today in HomeDepot..wasnt even doing anything..was standing there holding a piece of chair rail (for the nursery) while hubby cut it in the store..at this little station..otherwise they are like..15 freaking feet long..anyway..I just started to feel pukey all of a sudden and then started getting the tunnel vision and my hearing was going...so I told him I have to stop now!! and sat down on a little display shelf thing and took my teeshirt off so I was just in my tank top...and just leaned forward a bit...and it eventually went away but I still felt blah the rest of the time...I think it was just the heat and from standing and that store was humid as hell today...no fans in that back section..uggh...horrible experience...I just feel like all these pregnancy limitations are kicking in soo fast now...its like I was ok and could do everything I normally would and then these past two weeks all the bad stuff has started..the SPD...the backaches and stomach aches from doing too much which isnt anything compared to what I would normally do before Im tired...my stomach muscles are stretching out again..like where your abs meet in the middle...and now this fainting feeling... anyone else getting hit hard and fast by all these?

Ooh, good luck with your 4D scan Mama_t. I had mine yesterday, will upload pics later.

Sorry to hear about you feeling unwell Mrs Jerome. Im struggling to stand up for any period of time lately. Can probably manage 20 minutes before my bump starts to ache.

Hope everyone has had a good weekend xx
