It's got worse this past week. I am ticking the days off until my 12 week scan now. Grin

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 03/03/2013 17:12

I'm ticking off the days til my mat leave! 15 shifts/19 days :)

OP posts:
JethroTull · 03/03/2013 19:48

That is getting seriously close Faith! Any plans for mat leave?

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 03/03/2013 19:54

Tantalisingly close! Mostly batch cooking. I think we need to eat up the freezer contents in the next couple of weeks to make room for pre-cooked dinners. I have also been rather ambitious and bought a huge cross stitch which I will try to get to grips with. I have done a few but probsbly a quarter of the size!

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 04/03/2013 21:12

Uh oh. We have rapidly disappearing cookies in the house!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 04/03/2013 21:29

Mmm Biscuit Envy
I've just had post-work cheese on toast! Tired but survived. Still protein and leukocytes in my urine dip despite only having a couple of antibiotics to take Confused

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 06/03/2013 21:53

Argh. I worried my way through pregnancy and now I am all worried about cot death :(

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 06/03/2013 22:04

Anything specific dor?

I am worried because I'm having Braxton hicks ?? despite relaxing in bed....it never stops, does it? (The worry that is).

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 06/03/2013 22:11

Something on OBEM set me off.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 06/03/2013 22:34

It's perfectly normal to be anxious but you know it's actually very rare and that you're doing everything right to minimise the risks for the Little Mister - not drinking, smoking before bed, lying him on his back, you didn't smoke during pregnancy. Do you have a monitor on him?

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 06/03/2013 22:51

No monitor but he sleeps in the same room as us and snores like a warthog!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 07/03/2013 09:06

And had he woken all smiley again this morning?

My BH stopped when I settled for bed (phew). Might have been because I cleaned the kitchen before I got into bed...bit crazy I guess but so nice to get up to this morning!

Only 12 shifts to go! :)

OP posts:
FriendofDorothy · 07/03/2013 09:08

Yeah of course has. I feel super drama-queenish at the moment about silly things I think!

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 07/03/2013 09:12

It'll be the hormones. He is your PFB. You're allowed to be worried about him :)

OP posts:
blonderedhead · 07/03/2013 10:34

Last night L was sleeping better than he has for a week and breathing very quietly. So I poked him. Obviously.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 07/03/2013 18:35

How did he react blonde?! Did he react?

jeff - re your comment on the BESH thread re discharge - I have had bucket loads since early on. Quite disturbing. Get through two pant liners a day minimum. Often yellowy, sometimes even a bit green Hmm
MW and CRESH said unless its itchy or smelly it's normal!

I have bought Pickle a teeny tiny coat today :) and a couple of 'newborn' baybee grows in the hope that s/he might be under 9lb!

OP posts:
HavingALittleFaithBaby · 07/03/2013 18:39

Oh and I bought myself some post-birth trousers....a size up from normal but with elasticated waist! I recall my sister having a lot of swelling (she had an EMCS to be fair) but I thought it would be nice to have some non-pregnancy clothes!

OP posts:
blonderedhead · 07/03/2013 19:41

Oh he just snorted. He does go so pale when asleep though. Translucent skin and blue eyelids. Scary child.

Faith I have a feeling that given your fixation with pant snot and all its variations Wink, you are gonna love the poo aspect of motherhood. Ah the joys of discussing colour, texture, frequency...

JethroTull · 07/03/2013 20:05

Pant snot. Mine is all progesterone related. I'm shoving these bullets up me twice a day, I'm sure most of it leaks out!!

I'm very emotional right now. SSG is away & I've found it really hard without him. That's not like me at all. Coping with my crazy dog on my own has been hard.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 07/03/2013 20:18

I am looking forward to having my own snuffly baybee ignoring the prospect of no sleep I'm glad L was contented though :)

jeff how long does that continue? The bulleting?

blonde don't forget my profession. I am far too familiar with poo as it is. The only difference will be the bottom size (and hopefully the poo size but I am not naïve to the amount that little baybees can produce). Yes poo watch will be interesting!

OP posts:
blonderedhead · 07/03/2013 20:42

Ah yes of course. It is such a delight. I sometimes text TBI to give him updates. Well, I say sometimes. Most days. Currently we are doing a special on pea-green playdoh. Thank you hypoallergenic formula.

bluer · 07/03/2013 21:27

Oh I missed a poo discussion! Mr df was shocked when we looked at the baby book I got him as there are pics of dirty nappies to show you things to look for Confused

blonderedhead · 07/03/2013 21:49

I never looked at any pictures. They keep telling you it should look like scrambled egg and you think, wtf?! But then it comes and you look and you're like, oh I see...

But the meconium which was described as 'tarry' seemed more to me like a giant sea slug emerging from my perfect newborn.

See, this is why I have forgotten how to have normal conversations.

FriendofDorothy · 07/03/2013 22:17

blonde - glad you also have a translucent baby. I sometimes have to get really close to check The Little Mister is still breathing!

My baby's poo looks like chicken korma still. Gross.
