Right then my lovelies, this thread is going sloooooowly now we have our little secret facebook group

But we need to keep posting here for people who haven't joined our other group, so keep on going!

If anyone wants to join the facebook group, can they ask someone cleverer than me and they will set it up for you!

Old thread is here

oh 35wks1day today

I'm in! I'll bring chocolate and sweets having received a confectionary hamper for Christmas

Hoping to have a heartburn free night tonight (wishful thinking)

Does terry's chocolate orange cure heartburn?! I will let you know in the morning!!

Shopping with DH today :D very excited.

Although I think I may have a water infection so will have to see how I go and may need to stop off at hospital to try get some antibiotics - sorry tmi

Oooooh yes I'll come - can we have pancakes as well, please? I love pancakes.

Kayano don't worry we will stretch time so you can do all your busy stuff and come along to the feast as well. Oh and good luck re: water infection!

Hope all the poorly DCs are feeling much better now - fantastic timing from them all - poor little sausages :(

On another note - what on earth has happened to Scooby Doo? I'm watching it on Boomerang and it's shocking. All teen tantrums and nonsense. AND Guess Who and Cluedo are different as well judging by the adverts...

32+4 (OMG how quickly is this going?!)

Terry's choc orange does NOT help heartburn... neither does sucking a locket! went downstairs for milk instead and slept on the couch.

shopping @ supermarket today... Gaviscon on list !!

Just come back from town. Was gutted to see kids had spent £25 on a sanctuary spa set fir me and it's down to £12.50! What a waste of money. Prob hormones but next year they will go after chrimbo and get my presents.

Had awful rib pain last night in bed. Just couldn't get comfy at all. Even DH says he felt sorry for me and he can't wait for baby to arrive now. Very strange.

Was going to lie on sofa but then DH decided to route tv aerial down through daughters bedroom and I had to intervene when DD1 mentioned he had drilled several holes in the kitchen roof! Needless to say I went in and he didn't need to drill any holes at all and just come down through where cooker hood goes - men!

Hello! Happy Christmas everyone!

We're just back from a lovely, peaceful, relaxing few days at my parents' lovely house - wood burner, very cosy. And my Ma is an excellent chef - although I wasn't fitting that much grub in! Last year I didn't eat that much on Christmas day because my grandmother gave me food poisoning. This year, it was lack of space.

I feel like an enormous stuffed turkey too! But baby's been moving loads, and definitely enjoying all the Christmas choccies.

Welcome to the newbies too.

33+2

Merry Christmas!
32+2, survived 3 appts last week, don't have diabetes, consultant wouldn't say anything until after the pysch appt this week but thinks my birth in the MLU should be OK if they get a neonatologist on hand at the end, and Christmas was nice.
Even if I did spend half the night woken by dn4 age 20mo who was poorly wiht a cold, and the other half throwing up... so 5 adults took turns to look after christmas dinner but it turned out mostly OK! and the 3 kids (nearly 2, 3.3 and just 4) were delightful (mostly!) and loved their presents and then got tired and just wanted lots of cuddles on laps in time to watch the Gruffalo Child, which was wonderful.

And Thumpy appears to have turned round a bit and stopped kicking me right in the pelvis. :) She's getting the tummy button now instead.

Happy 27th December!..Sounds like most of us had a lovely Christmas!....My poorly little boy is lots better today & eating!..After a trip to emergency out of hours GP at the hospital on Boxing Day morning....then I had pains all day, some really breath taking ones, which prompted me to wash baby clothes!..Last night we went to a family party type gathering & my eldest son had an allergic reaction to something (he has a severe nut & peanut allergy)..really dont know what set it off as there were no nuts & he hardly ate anything..luckily I spotted it really quickly as it always seems to happen at Christmas so I watch him like a hawk! Then a family member tried to give them chocolate polar bears which are not suitable for peanut allergy sufferers!..We luckily avoided another hospital trip as we gave him meds straight away!..gah..slept in until gone 11am today, I really needed it!..pains have settled down, so hoping Jnr will stay put a little longer!..I have declared today a PJ day & we are staying home all day! :)

I should not be trusted with a laptop and a credit card. Today, from the comfort of my sofa, I have bought...

1 pair Fly boots (reduced to £60 so less than half price!)
1 Elle McPhearson nursing bra (40% off, and I'm going to need nursing bras)
2 blankets, 4 sheets and a bouncy chair... none of which were in the sale.

This is in addition to the vests, pramsuit and cute little jeans I bought at the actual shops yesterday. Must stop spending money....

Shopping day and I bought:

2 lush bath gift sets. £13 instead of £26
1 GOSH make up gift set
2 packs of cheapo baby wipes - for my face lol, take off the excess makeup
Exchanged my MAC brush set I got for Christmas for 4 MAC eyeshadows (all that glitters, antiqued, star violet and hepcat if anyone is as makeup obsessed as me)
4 books:
Cloud atlas - David Mitchell
Good man Jesus and the scoundrel Christ - Philip PUllman
1Q84 - Murakami
Dark matter, a ghost story - Michelle paver

A toshiba blu ray DVD player for £40 - bargain!

And DH who HATES Nandos took me for nandos for lunch ....

But then we got home and I promptly threw up everywhere and he has now tucked me up into bed
Will reassess the situation re: possible water infection and random sickness in the morning.

I have also come to the conclusion that my DH is in fact fantastic despite calling me thunder hippo and I love him so much

Kayano the Phillip Pullman is a very good read. Jealous of the eyeshadows!

Does anyone else get pain when the baby is moving a lot, its concentrated at the base of my abdomen, its just aching and its exacerbated when he is moving about. Its probably 'stretching' again...when does the stretching stop? Probably stupid question but I don't know!

I wrote my dissertation on Pullman so I am excited to read it, I can't believe I have not read it already!

pambeesley do you mean like an uncomfortable sensation around the cervix? If so, i get that too and it's so unpleasant!

Yes beatrice but its more than discomfort its real pain and I have to hold onto the wall to walk etc its so sore but it would be in my cervix area....I'm so bad with body geogrpahy... :(

I get pain in that region, it is pelvic girdle pain or SPD. I also get well-aimed fanny-kicks which make me draw breath and stretching pain when her head drops. Ah the joys of later pregnancy

Its more like severe stretching Zhen too high up for SPD. I'm a first timer so its all new to me.

Probably the baby moving down in your pelvis then, they bob up and down for a while once head is down. Being a second timer my uterus has room for mine to do this plus also lie horizontally and diagonally, all uncomfortable in their own ways!

Thanks Zhen I bet thats what it is, I also notice when I lie on my back, even for a minute or two his bum shoots out by my belly button and when I go on my side it goes in again...another 8 weeks!

I'd be lost without this bus and the FB page for reassurance :)

Just catching up and marking thread with bottom in air, baby still breech. Growth scan on Thursday and want her head down. Glad folk enjoyed celebrating Christmass and the sales. tis lots of fun with wee ones about as long as they not I'll. Hope all bigs clear so we can all have ourselves a happy new years an easy stress free jan, I can but dream!

Back in work today.... can NOT be arsed!

Should have brought my new nintendo 3DS in...

Pip is kicking around loads today... feels nice... even thoguh I think they are to blame for my restless night.

What is everyone up to for new year then?! plans/no plans? I love New Year, but everyone I know hates it. Miserable buggers. So this year after touting an evening in with a few folks and getting NOWHERE... I am going to sit in with DP and a wriggly pip belly. Jules' Hootenany probably... although I get the feeling DP is pushing for an "Evil Dead" night that is not going to happen

30+2 and totally unprepared.... still no bedroom or nursery, or hospital bag... or baby clothes! SHIT

New years eve me and DH will be spending it alone for first time ever. Will have to see if DH let's me have a glass of cider ... God I hope so.

New years day we go to my mums for a family tea, only this year my aunt and extended family are not going (falling out etc) so my mum has invited mil and BIL who would be on their own this year due
To fil working and ex SIL being a skanky whore

So .... It will be interesting. I am in charge
Of sorting puddings and cakes so will be baking a lot on Friday and Saturday

I'll be having a glass of prosecco... and maye a glass with some juice and prosecco too... Hoping to have a new years day walk on the beach near us. It'll probably be chockablock, but if it's like today it'll be fab! Windy but sunny... YES PLEASE!

I wish I was up a hill right now... stuck in a shitty stuffy office ON MY OWN cos the 1 other person who is in... has gone to the hairdresser.... for a cut, colour and blow.... not back til lunch. I'm covering their ass til theyre back.

harumph! [grinch face]
