BROOKING NO ARGUMENT! we will be full to bursting with Springtime graduates all preparing for their sneeze births (part 15)

[NewYearNewBoo]

Thought I would do us a new thread, I have gone seasonal again, but we will be so busy welcoming our new gradustes it will soon fill up, I am Brooking No Argument

ignoring the fact I could be sneezing on this thread

Just checking in Sparks hope you're doing ok. Cartoon thinking of you and DH

Not really any news here, I think I have been nesting a bit, cleaning things to within an inch of themselves. The insulin is really working keeping my levels stable, had physio for my hips and hopefully they won't get any worse and I have my new gym ball for a good bounce of an evening, hopefully Booby will be well prepared and ready to come. Ooh I finally sold teen boo's old bike (been trying to flog it since November) it went to a lovely young fella who got so excited about having a new bike he couldn't speak

I can tell from your posts that you and your Nan were close, if I can tell that from what I have read, how loved and cherished she must have felt with you is amazing.

It is very soon for you to be able to talk about it and make any sense of it, take your time. xx

I don't know of any way to do that Sparks have you been having nightmares?? :( also worth remembering that bad dreams are just one of the ways your mind tries to make sense of what is happening when you are awake, they are not messages or prophetic!!

Please be reassured twinkle should be fine. As long as you keep eating and drinking he is getting what he needs. You and twinkle will get through this and you will be fine.

Oh I'm not surprised you were disturbed by that dream, it sounds awful! But it is so fresh and raw for you I'm not surprised. Take it easy and, even if you don't feel much like it, have food or a snack regularly, twinkle will still be taking what he needs from you and you.

I can only roll out the usual platitudes of time being a great healer, but in grief it is right, you will come to terms with your loss, and find a way to live with it, and it won't always be as bad as it is now.

Here if you need me. xx

Evening Sweetie just popping in to say I really hope you have had as good a day as you could expect and manage some rest and sleep tonight. xx

Gosh I was quite tired last night, that clearly should have been for you Sparks

I hope you did get some rest last night and are having a good day today.

sparks sorry about your nan, hope you managed to get some rest last night ((hugs))

Oh Sparks, you are really in the wars at the moment. I'm sure they will be able to organise something for your gtt. May I ask why they are sending you for one?

Now do please try to rest and relax, I know it is hard but you must try.

It sounds like a precaution, I hope they move it for you.

Tell me where you are in the baby preparation. I have just got my pram, I have fitted toddly a buggy board to it. I have been washing like a demon all the blankets, sheets and covers all clean and ready to use :)

Still putting off packing myself a bag, I need to get some new (black) PJ's for the hospital. But I think almost there.

We have a Graco Quattro, first time I have had a proper travel system. I'm 34 weeks this week (Friday) so officially just over 6 weeks but induction means probably more like 4 weeks I think I am excited and impatient now

Tell me more about twinkle, how is your DH doing. Is he excited about his son arriving soon? (If you hadn't noticed I'm trying to distract you by talking about something lovely)

Booby has a thing about sticking it's bum out too, I have also got a little foot that rubs along the top of my bump, I will miss these moments when I have to share Booby with everyone else

I want to give Mr S a hug and pat on the head, bless him, days out with twinkle in the first 2 weeks it's a very sweet idea. You might want to get him to Google new babies or show him the post grads thread on here

Where have you ordered your furniture from? I think I would have liked to know the sex of Booby now so I could buy lovely things for him/her, but that might be my impatience showing a bit

How has your day been today Sparks? Hopefully not as eventful as yesterday!

Me and Booby have had a quite a quiet day playing with Toddly Boo. Not much to report really, I have an anti natal appointment with growth scan on Monday.

Did they manage to move your gtt to another day?

I think you will still beat me to it Froot I'm going to be pregnant forever , it's good to hear from you, sounds like everything is going really well, fabulous news that baby is not breech!! Booby is currently measuring just above the 95th centile and is also head down ready to go [eek]

Sparks I'm really pleased that they could move your gtt, it seems sensible to keep next week free for your Nan. How are you doing at the moment? Brooking that you are ok xx

Yeah, I do have a chunky monkey in my belly we will find out on Monday if it is still on the same growth line.

Self certify is the best idea this week you need time to come to terms with everything. May I ask why is your chest still sore? I haven't had a PA so I don't know what effects they can have on your body, hopefully it will sort itself out soon.

Off to bed now, I'm being a right miserable old cow to DH cos I'm so tired (thank you Toddly boo, I love you too, but 4am is definitely still sleep time!!)
