lucky you!
I'm feeling the strain.
this week, I've felt sick every day - not nauseous, but sick. Confused
(possibly due to the heat)

Saturday didn't turn out to be as lucrative as i thought... by the end of the day, i think it was only a couple of quid higher than my post! Shock

still, Isbn is still upside down, and I've been trying to invert it, but don't think having much luck.
every now and then it feels less top heavy, then it turns over again Hmm

When you say upside down, do you mean breech? Cos s/he will need to be upside down in the sense of head down eventually Wink I can sympathise with the heat situation, you try being 38 weeks and this hot and carrying an extra stone and a half around, swollen ankles ahoy! Hopefully not long to go now, I've pretty much had enough of this being pregnant lark now...

Appreciate that you won't get much of a break, most people thought I was pushing it working to 38+2! Glad I did though, didn't want to have a lot of thumb twiddling time/symptom spotting opportunity (keep knicker checking for show as it is already!)

Hope things pick up a bit for you soon.

oooh double-post! Grin

yes, I mean breech, because that's the wrong way round for what we want! Grin
The woman doing the antenatal class also said I should stop worrying about it, because it should turn around by 35 weeks.
But that's only 3 weeks away, and it's been favouring head-up all the way through so far!

I'm glad I'm not as far on as you - about half the antenatal class are 37-38 weeks, and they're all pretty fed up too. :(

Hi everyone!

Aaarrgh! DS has been off school all week with a bit of an earache, not bad enough for him to be actually properly poorly though, and I am going slightly mad with being cooped up with him! Thankfully my mum has taken him this afternoon, so I can get ready for my 22 wk appointment in peace.Smile Mind you, today was the last day of term, so he will be bouncing around here for the next 2 wks as well!Shock

Congrats on being on leave now mightily.Smile Hope you have lots of opportunity to relax and rest up.

Hope Isbn gets turned around nickel. I am worried about that too, although at 22 wks I'm a bit early! Apparently Beanie Bam is lying bum-down, with legs and feet up beside his ears!Grin I hadn't actually realised that you were quite so far further along than me! It didn't seem that long between our BFPs. We definitely need some more grads.....

nickelbabe · 07/10/2011 12:53

It's just you me and Katee at the moment, I think!

maybe we need to go back to the JS thread and tell them where we are

It's amazing how quickly the tiem goes.
I'm still amazed every day at how my body is changing, and how this thing inside me is growing and moving!
Shock

It's rather breathtaking, really.

BamBam21 · 07/10/2011 13:13

It is all amazing, isn't it! I haven't felt a lot of movement so far (although some at night time) but the scan showed I was anterior, so I suppose it's just all a bit muffled and cushioned. The time is just flying in though.Shock

Can't wait for the weekend to come, and to spend some time with DP, but I feel a nasty cold sneaking up on me.Sad Any good plans for the weekend?

nickelbabe · 07/10/2011 14:01

ah, yes, anterior. that'll do it. :)
I was just bubbly for ages.
can't even remember what it was like now, it seems so long ago! Shock
(that's why I'm grateful for these threads - it keeps hold of my memories!)

hope it doesn't turn into a cold - lots of hot drinks (herbal tea, or hot juice), and wrap up warm.
DH is back tomorrow afternoon, and we have a Quiz night for WI in the evening.
then it's church and evensong on Sunday (no rest for the wicked or recently redeemed!)

MightilyOats · 07/10/2011 14:05

I had a feeling the other day that Sunday might be The Day, but who knows Grin

Glad your scan went well Bam, fingers crossed beanie doesn't develop a liking for having his ankles by his ears!

Had coffee with some of my nct group yesterday, so got to cuddle a couple of teeny babies Grin still can't quite connect what's in my tum with what will come out, if that makes sense, but really looking forward to the whole experience!

Yes a week early, but have had lots of niggles (though nothing much for a day or two, so I don't know now!)

Oh! Good luck with the niggles MO. Keep us all informed of any imminent baby signs. Been thinking we're about due for another.

nickelbabe · 08/10/2011 09:40

i have to tell you lot too

the above is a pressie that DH brought me back from norfolk.
he promises he's not trying to bump me off... Grin

BamBam21 · 08/10/2011 10:41

Shock nickel! Did he realise it's a grave marker??!ShockGrin

Good luck with the symptoms mightily! I remember only too well how uncomfy and annoying the last wee while is, so I hope Little Oats makes an appearance soon.Smile

Had my 22 wk appointment yesterday. Everything was good, and I heard the lovely strong heartbeat. I've not to go back again for 6 WEEKS though. So different from last time around, there seems to be so few checks, but I suppose if I needed more I would get them. DP has gone for a haircut with DS, so I am having a quiet coffee. Bliss.Smile

nickelbabe · 08/10/2011 10:50

no, he didn't have a clue Grin
he just thought it was a lovely thing to put in a plant pot Grin

nickelbabe · 08/10/2011 10:50

(and cos it was a book, you see)

OP posts:
BamBam21 · 08/10/2011 11:02

Grin That's brilliant! Grin

Was he all sheepish when he realised?

It was a lovely thought! Hope you have a nice gladioli to pop it in!Grin

nickelbabe · 08/10/2011 11:05

he was a bit.
then he defended himself by saying he'd warned me he was no good at presents and always got it wrong! Grin

ah, it's one of the reasons I love the lump so much Grin

BamBam21 · 08/10/2011 11:15

It's really very sweet!Smile

My DP usually opts for the safe, and very welcome, chocolate option. I can't get enough of those little round Lindor sweeties. DS is funny when he gets me a present though. It's nearly always some massive, brightly coloured piece of jewellery, which I then have to wear to keep him happy! He really wants a "prettier" mummy, and is always nagging me to wear skirts and stuff, and to put my hair in bunches(!) but it's just not me!Grin He came home yesterday chuffed to bits because he had got me a couple of Hare Krishna books from a bloke on the High Street!Grin
