Charters Anonymous Graduates Volume 2! – No more temping!

[Iwish]

A nice cosy place to accommodate our growing bumps and little wrigglers.

What's happening with your vendor Lady?

I think purchasing a Sola is perfectly justifiable, don't worry about it

I am actually very tempted by the Phil & Teds super light stroller but sadly my Maclaren, although knackered, is still functioning perfectly well. So think I will restrain myself for now.

They've bought their new house already but it needs a lot of work. So they want a few weeks between exchange and completion to do it. Therefore the earliest they want to move is about 9 days before my due date! And if I due have GD then there is a very good chance they will want to induce at 38 weeks. Of course they only mentioned this yesterday which I feel is very disingenuous of them.

Anyway, been far too me,me,me lately. How is everyone else? Swelling up like balloons? Or is that just me?

And buggy looks nice, GD. And very light too. See how you get on. Maybe the Maclaren could have a little "accident" whilst walking next to the canal

Getdown... i do the same. sleep on my side or attempt to then wake up on my back... albeit head on two pillows so not flat on back which i think its the problem....!! I think you are ok if you are propped up... maybe try a pillow behind your back as well as between knees...and/or propping yourself up on another pillow or two? I think its only flat on back thats an issue.... :)

but yes it worries me too.....!!

LG Vendors are feckers not v helpful are they?!?! How inconsiderate... why cant they move out into rented? Can you threaten to pull out of the sale? Talking of selling... my neighbour ripped down our forsale sign yesterday as its on 'his land' TOSSPOT! We fell out last year... and never spoke again, over his sons music/noise/language etc... classy peeps these... around my MC so my head wasnt right either and i probably aggrovated it.
However in order to try and appease i have actually spoken to him...swallowed humble pie and apologised for my behaviour even though he didnt for his....didnt mean it of course....but hey ho...the air is clearer, i dont feel awkward now and hopefully we wont be here for too much longer.... We now have two signs up and neither are on 'is laaand' Cock

Im ok thanks Lady...not too swollen today, hands struggling to type... so thinking carpal tunnel is on its way again.. hope not!! Other than that, good, tons of wriggling and evenings watching belly wriggle around...somewhat disconcertingly. and i have had 3 days back to back working at home, so its been relaxing...although permanently trying to sort out crap!!
Hows everyone else?

It's gone very quiet in here...
Lady great to hear you caved and got yourself a Sola! Now do not feel guilty, just enjoy it
I don't suppose there's any chance you could tell both vendor and buyer to sod off, they have messed you around too much, you cannot be expected to move 9 days before you give birth, you are not going anywhere until 3 months after?! I suspect not, but just imagining the ranty conversation would be satisfying.

aargh nix bloody neighbours. Not much longer and you will be gone from there

GetDown I had similar issues with waking up on my back all the time, but have found putting a pillow lengthways in the bed seems to solve this. I either sleep on one side with it between my knees which seems to keep me still, or I turn over completely and it's against my back which means if I roll back onto my back I am propped at an angle. Hope that makes sense?

Well we have successfully procrastinated for a few days and suddenly the cot we want has come on sale and is £40 off! There is the lesson to never do anything proactively and straight away!

I meant to go to my antenatal class yesterday and completely missed it because it was rescheduled to the morning instead of the afternoon. I had been told this, but as with all things just now, I forgot. Quite pissed off about that, I was looking forward to going and meeting some folk. Ho hum. Next week!

I am now 11st5 and only 5lbs lighter than DH

Ah good I thought I had killed the thread lol

Ah good I thought I had killed the thread lol

I would kill to be 11 stone 5

I am 12 stone 10
Nearly died when I got on the scales

Well I am 13 stone 10, Nix. Weigh about 2 stone more than DP. Not good.

I was a size 10th pre-pregnancy by the way

sorry, not trying to make people feel bad. It's just I used to be between 9st10 and 10st3 so it was a bit of a shock. I am not getting back on the Wii! Denial is the way forward.

Crappy news today, I was searching the conception boards to see how battery is getting on. She had her 12 week scan yesterday which showed the baby had died in the last couple of days. In theory they are doing an ERPC today but she has been waiting all day . Gutted for her.

This time last year I weighed 9.5 stone, Spilt. I just gain a LOT of weight when pregnant. Goes again afterwards though, especially when I'm back running again. And not offended . Sounds like you're doing pretty well with weight gain though, which is good!

So sorry to hear about Battery. That is horrible, poor woman. My thoughts are with her .

We think we may have a new date for moving! Hopefully 4th July. Should be exchanging on Monday. Keep fingers crossed. I will be 37 weeks pregnant but could be worse I s'pose.

Ah spilt don't worry I too was a size ten Pre PGs ;(
Lady ah bless.. You must be taller ;) ;)

Battery chook poor lady ;( gutted for her ;(
I found out yest. That's a shitty shitty card to be dealt. Is that her third or fourth? Hopefully they will test:(
Digi also I read somewhere had a test result although don't remember, what.

Yey for the moving in date ;)

At this weight I ought to be about 6ft 6, Nix (am 5'8"). There is obviously dark matter in my uterus along with the baby (Nothing to do with the massive arse, ham arms and back fat I seem to have sprouted). Still, it's all for a good cause!

Pmsl
Can't sleep btw!
Ham arms??????
See I said you were tall

I have full frontal thigh cellulite, chafing, my arse is twice it's normal size and I used to have slender collar bones oh and cheek bones!!
I'm 5ft 7.5 and bordering on clinically obese I think!
Were obviously breeding robust big boned babies

Wouldn't mind but my diet has been fish and salad For the last 3 months lol

It's batterys third, but one of them was twins IIRC. digi got results back from her most recent loss and they found that she had had a little girl with triploidy (3 sets of chromosones). They said this is just totally bad luck, no increased chance of it happening again, and not age related.

Hurrah for your moving date Lady, fingers crossed they all manage to stick to it.

I am knackered, crap night of non sleeping. I need nappies or something, this repeated getting up for the loo is a pain in the arse. And I am looking forward to not HURTING all over!

Yes thats right re Digi. I wasnt sure what that was :( Sheer shitty luck.... :( I knew battery had lost twins before. Totally gutting :(

YEs the non sleeping is getting me down also. Bladder kicks are seriously painful, but cannot seem to get comfy. Baby goes to sleep if i sleep on my right, if i sleep on the left like you are supposed to it kicks all night (bladder!!) Tis limbs (arms) down and across by hip bones at the min(legs), curled up like a snail, transverse. Must get onto spinning babies website. Thank god for hubs being home this weekend. Hes taken out DS for the morning to go and buy a new scooter that hes been saving up for ... off for a snooze i think. Been up since half four!

Just back up after a nap and feeling a bit better for it. Hope you get a few hours kip whilst they're out nix. I was starting to wonder about this left/right thing. I can sleep on my right more comfortably, but going onto my left makes me desperate for a wee again - which would make sense if that's where the bladder is and it's being sat on

Mine tends to have hands one side of bump and feet the other so whichever side I lie on there are wriggles from below! I am convinced it is her head that is stuffed under my right ribs though, which I guess would mean bum in my pelvis or similar in a sort of frank or complete breech position. I'll see if the MW can work it out on Weds when I see her.

Boo to not sleeping well. DS has started getting into my bed again so about 3 or 4 he comes in. I don't mind really - just going to be very crowded in a few more weeks . I'm comfiest on my left which is just as well as is agony to try and turn over. Baby is head down but slightly oblique at the moment which I really don't want. I want a nice straightforward birthing position please. Going to spend the weekend on the ball!

Hugs to both Digi and Battery if either are lurking. It's all so unfair.

Yey woke up at 12;););)
First time I've done that for a while ;)))
Must have needed it!

Hooray for hubster ;)

Not sure where the bladder is spilt, but that's where the baby boots me;( !!

Hi all!

Have not really been checking, but weighed myself this morning and am now 9st 3. Was 8st before I got pregnant. Can't remember what I got up to with DD but by the end I was definitely well over 10.

I sympathise with all the disturbed nights. I seem to be yo-yo-ing between one terrible night followed by one good night, having been totally shattered. I actually didn't get up for a wee last night but was in agony when I woke up about 6:30!

I do still keep reverting to lying on my back even with big sausage pillow... hmmm, very annoying.

I've borrowed a ball from my friend though and am now sitting at the computer on it, as all normal chairs seem to knacker my back now.

So sorry to hear about battery that is so very sad

Hi ladies! Long time no speak lol.

Oh hell on the weight front. I was a size 12 at 10st7ish but I now weigh around 13 stone at 24+5!!

Woohoo to nix for the lie in! I was up at 10:30 today, that's my usual weekend time for now until little one arrives.

getdown I'm with you on the crap sleep, I keep waking up panicking I'm not in the right position!

ladyg 3 or 4! Does he just go strait to sleep? Hope so at that time lol!

split I have no idea where the bladder Is either lol!

Waves and hugs to everyone else xx

Well I went for a 4d scan today and. Have put some pics on my profile. He Is absolutely gorgeous!! Just thought I'd share with you

Pretty much, Iwish. But he's never really slept through at the age of 3 apart from the very, very occasional night so am used to being woken up. Not sure how will go on with two of them at it though

Lovely pictures - has he got loads of hair on his head already or is that just a shadow?
