Due in Dec 05 - The wind up to the countdown!!!!!!

[sweetheart]

OK, well we've needed a new thread for ages so I've taken it upon myself to start it.

Good luck ladies - we are nearly down to the last month

35 + 2 or should I say "T minus 4wks 5 days"!

DQ - apparently the weather is supposed to be better tomorrow. Good job too as we are hosting the family fireworks evening.

Hello Ladies,

Well had 2nd GTT, they tried both arms and got nothing so ended up going in both my hands
so glad it's over.

Anyway gt up this morning and there was a flood of water everywhere, so bought extra big pads and decided to have one more check over night and if it's still the same I'm going back to hospital as I am not sure what kind of infection can make you leak like I am. My Mum has given me a spare sample pot she had so that I can catch some as I stand up to take with me as she seems to think that my hind waters have ruptured hence the fact I only leak after lying down flat.
So we shall see and I shall keep you all posted, this is one mum to be who is hoping it's nothing.
I feel like I have missed out on something really good because of this e-mail you are talking about, can I be sent it please DQ also really really good idea about the hamper for DH I have his B-day on the 21st as well as Xmas to buy for.

oh dear flutter sounds like your not havin much luck hun!! hope things turn out ok for you xx
iv just had the nicest bath ever!! i also managed to shave my legs which tbh were startin to look a bit manly!! it took me about 1/2 an hour and some v. strange positioning but i did it and am strangely proud of myself!! am now glad there is only 7/8 weeks left of this awkwardness to endure!! am sure you all are havin the same probs... y'know like the whole knickers sit down/stand up thing a while back!!

I dont know, i dont come on for one day and you lot get an attack of verbal diarrheoa!!

DONE IT! Ive finally washed, ironed and put away all my babies clothes to last (hopefully) till she is 6 months old! 5 baskets to be exact and im aching now big time!

Spoke to DH last night about our problem and he showed me i was worrying about nothing!

Dh home tomorrow so have planned a day of complete rest and pampering although i do have midwife at 10.15am first!

Had a cry this morning when i worte the cheque out to pay for my mums funeral, it all seems so final now. Thankfully i had organised to go see some friends at a toddler group so got distracted just in time!

Had a big panic tonight. Cooked DH a lovely steak/roast dinner and it was ready on side at 6.45pm which is when he normally gets home. Well by 7.45 he still wasnt back and i was welling up with worry. He strolls in and i jump at him asking where he has been and ........ you guessed it....... He had told me he had a meeting and would be an hour late but i had forgotton! Felt a fool!!! blooming hormones!!!

DQ great poem BTW.

Am all set for the meet up! Can we confirm details soon cos im confused as to where and what time etc. Will be travelling down on 16th as have to visit mums grave on 17th and help my sister sort through some paperwork too.

Morning all hope your ok.
Wasnt around yesterday as our net server was changed which caused the router to break so no net for one n bit days... I felt like a limb was missing..lol

Nemo1977

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Wishing you all the best on your b-day..

Flutter,
Not long to go.. Hope the hospital can do somthing about the leak.

How is all this morning?
Had no sleep again last night!!! i ache all over from lack of sleep!! The house has never been so clean and organized.. I get a mad bust in the evenings..

Happy Bday, Nemo!

Congrats on making it, sweetheart! Four more weeks of work to go here and counting it down.

Baby is doing okay. Still head down with head pointed left.

Hopefully my anaemia is sorted, but blood tests will tell.

Measuring spot on for 34 weeks, so here's hoping baby decides to make an entry in early or mid December.

Minnie, clean and organised house, how do you achieve that exactly?
Vaguely clean and occasionally tidy is about my limit at the best of times
dh and dd made barbie cakes yesterday, which she was quite proud of - not sure if she needed to be eating one at 9am this morning though, when I rang them, but the sugar rush is his deal with I guess
Yay, it's Friday and this is my last 5 day working week, and only 3wks to go, only 11 working days

& happy b'day nemo! and good luck again fb, hope it's nothing major.
33+6

This is so not like me i am a last min girl even DP is getting worried..

Exp
Glad all went well at hosp..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEMO
Have a lovely day.

Minnie, rubbish nights sleep here too. I can only seem to have 1 then it all goes to pot again. Fortuntely I can lie in now to try to catch up.
Was that only 1 week to go SH??? & Scully only 11 working days?? - Woo Hoo!

It's wonderful to see how far along we hve all come after all the early worrying I'm so pleased we are all here.

Painting for me today - I will get this nursery finished!

Well said on the worrie front... We all have gotton so far and bumps are cooking nicely..

All i can say is WELL DONE LADIES

happy birthday nemo, hope all cakes are chocolate ones!

Ahhhhhhh it's a due in Dec love in!!!!

It is great to be here with all you ladies. I have to admit, I still wake up in the mornings and think I've dreamt being pregnant - I have to make sure my bump is still there. I can't believe in a few weeks we will all be rewarded with out little bundles of joy Some of us have waited sooooooo long

did a hospital tour last night, was funny watching all the first time mums stunned into silence, think it was a bit of a reality check for them sorry, but made me giggle. mind you if I end up with a vbac them I'll actually get to use the delivery suite and I won't be laughing then!
but at the end we saw a lady who had had her 3rd baby at 8am that morning - phoebe - baby was very cute and mum looked amazing, considering she had had no sleep, had had a baby 12hrs earlier and had a 4 and 2 yr old at home waiting for her - there's hope for all of us

ooh, Phoebe, another one for my ever expanding list!
Tell me, is 'Columbine' ridiculous?

That depends ninah, do you like it?
I also don't mind Phoebe, but reminds me of Friends.....
Still completely uninspired on the name front, maybe dd will be choosing the name at this rate

ok Scully that's a diplomatic NO! my friend already said it stinks lol
and yes, forgot about Friends ...
Great, I badly need to cut down! thanks!

ninah - sorry, can't say I like it. It reminds me of a woman I speak to at another company. Her name is Colorado Goldwin - It always makes me smile (I think it sounds like a porn name)

I'm not keen on phoebe either - probably the link to Friends that does it.

I told dh last night this baby isn't coming out - I'm sure it's huge!!!

S/H
I know what you mean about waiting sooo long!! I cant beleive i will have my own little family owwwww soppy i know but cant wait..

ninah/scully
Were the same we have no names.. phoebe is nice.. But i am drawn to Tara for a girl! old fashioned or ok??

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEMO, HOPE LUNCH WITH YOUR MUM IS OK.

Had midwife this morning and my blood pressure is high so maybe im not coping as well as i think with my mums death. Alex was galloping away and still in OK position with head popping in and out (hence the need to poo!) Got to talk to consultant on Tuesday about referral for physio and also about getting stronger pain killers although not sure what would be safe to take apart from co-codamol which isnt helping anymore. Also fundal height still above my highest line on the growth chart but midwife agreed it just strenghthens my case for c/section! Alex is measuring at 33+4 when technically i should be 32+2!! That my girl!

Dh home today and has sent me to bed! Think its more to do with him wanting to watch sport than him being thoughtful but still!!! Am gonna snuggle in and watch a sad true story!

SH thanks for the info on meet up. Will be there!

Tara is beautiful! like it!

oh, but there IS tara t-p
