June 2013 - thread 6 - will this thread see any early arrivals?

[AlohaMama]

Welcome back all June-ers, just realised we were about to run out of space on the old thread.

I'm also worrying about measles as I'm too old to have had the MMR jab and I don't remember having separate jabs (I had mumps as a child but not measles). I'm also living in Wales at the moment!

I'm awake grrrrr not happy

Pink I know the feeling! I've given up trying to sleep but may need a nap this afternoon

Morning! I was awake for the early hours but finally got bk to sleep. DS managed a full night sleep last night and woke up about 7. It was supposed to be a lie in for me this morning but DH was dead to the world- grrrrrrr! Shouldn't complain as he's brilliant really but could really have done with a sleep catch up this morning. I should have shaken him but there's a bit of the martyr about me this morning- doesn't bode well for the wkend!

Well I've hoovered dusted opened curtains put washing load one in for the day and sloped back to bed while hubby takes out dogs still not speaking and doubt ill sleep but at least the weights off for a bit

Eugh AmI I'm so jealous, my shift last night and DD developed a horrid snotty cold so wasn't sleeping and cos she has seizures too when poorly we have to monitor her every hour. Eugh. Just eugh

Ella, I think those of us too old for the MMR jab did have separate ones. I know we got Rubella at school, but I think measles was an early one. The bloods they take at booking in check your immunity to things, so if there was an issue they'd tell you, I think. I doubt they'd leave a generation unprotected.

Baby B worried me this morning as he was quiet. He's perked up now though, thankfully. Poor mite was woken by me and has moved loads. But now has hiccups! Bless. So I have double sensation of kicking and hiccups going on!

With I think that's what I'll hope for certainly! But the dressing gown I got didn't fit me now (seven months) so figured I needed a bigger size.

Thanks MrsBri.

I just checked and pre-MMR we were given it from a year old, so may explain why you don't remember!

We just got our first full on foot poking out moment...more than a centimetre! Puts the Alien movement in the shade somewhat, which is waves of movement with no definable body part :-)

Yes maybe a size bigger then Red .

Am feeling really fat today .

Right am off to brave a nearly new sale, wish me luck!

Good luck

I think with the one we got as children (and I'm older than some here at 36) it was the same as MMR that the first jab gave 90% immunity but the second pre school booster brought it up to 95%?

I remember having whooping cough (child on our road my age died from it a week after me having it), and I remember chicken pox and mumps. But not sure about measles and my parents don't remember.

Bought some really lovely vest and stretchy PJs from primark today, got into town for 9.15 and the place was still messy and jam packed! Two pairs for £20.

I'm 42 and I know we had the measles jab pre-school. They brought in the Rubella injection when I was about 10, but I was off school that day and missed it, so I had it at the dr when I was about 15. We weren't vaccinated against mumps but I had it when I was nearly 11. It was nasty and put me off quite a few foods for a long time. I did have whooping cough as a baby, but we were vaccinated against that later. They are all horrible.

Interesting to see that a few of us on the 'wrong' side of 35 have actually had whooping cough, because I had it as a child too.

I remember the queue for the rubella jab at school!

I've only just had the whooping cough vaccine at 25, my family has a strong risk of asthma with my dad having chronic asthma and his sister dying from an attack, at the time of vaccination the risk of developing asthma was too high for my mum to take the risk with us, I never did develop asthma (my sister has it) but there is a lot less of a risk now of it causing further issues

Just back from my first NCT class. It was a mammoth session 10am to 4pm and same again next Saturday. Thankfully my fears were totally unfounded. They were really helpful informative and didn't try to push the natural agenda on us once. Totally pragmatic and full of useful info. Also a really nice group which is great since I'm pretty new to this area and don't know many folks.

Still v tempted to put pjs on now though.....

Hiya

All mostly ok for now, got to go back for more tests on Monday, I keep meaning to check in properly but having opposite weekend to that the Drs said to have....4.5hrs of NCT today. Bloody long!

Chat more soon....hope everyone getting some sun at last!

Glad to hear you're ok Oli - take it easy tomorrow!

I remember the Rubella vaccination queue at school too MrsBri.

Nearly new sale was ok. Picked up a microwave steriliser for £3 so that's another thing ticked off my list.

Friend gave me a new 'new baby' book called 'theres a house inside my mummy' that I read with DS2 tonight. Very funny penultimate verse reads:

'I just can't wait to meet him
I hope that he's alright,
My daddy says be patient
As his door is rather tight'

:o learner

We picked up DS's bookstart pack from the library (the preschool age one) the other day, it has a book in it called "There's an Ouch in my Pouch" which is fab - Willaby Wallaby jumps out of his mum's pouch, and you find out at the end that he was kicked out by the ouch - which turns out to be baby Jillaby. And Willaby realises he quite likes being big enough to bounce all by himself, and actually he doesn't need carrying and looking after quite so much.

It's a really nice story, and couldn't be better timed for us!

Learner - we've got that book too for DS, DH also found that bit a bit hard to read with a straight face...

I nearly fell over in DS's bedroom earlier trying to pick up some things from the floor, I think I need to accept my centre of gravity has shifted!

Hello,
I hope everyone's having a lovely relaxing evening after today's lovely sunshine?

Firstly sorry I've been such a sporadic poster, I promise to be better from now on! Maternity leave starts in 9 days so I soon won't be so tired after work/commute to function let alone post.

Dontmind-my balance has totally gone, I've been on a washing mission today with piles of clothes everywhere, every time I bent down to pick another up I fell on my bottom!
Anyone else feeling the urge to wash and clean everything? I've been told I'm nesting, I think I'm just enjoying hubby being away on a stag do so I can actually get things done!

I am actually from Swansea originally where the measles outbreak is but I'm in my 30's so I think I got the MMR jab before the worry started and people stopped having it.

Thank you for sharing your NCT experiences, my classes start this weekend so I feel a bit more prepared after reading your posts. I really want to take the birth as it comes and see what feels best at the time rather than have a set plan and put too much pressure on myself as it's my first so I've warned hubby to not to get too influenced if the teacher has any strong stance on drugs/ home birth, etc.

Aloha-congrats on your outie! I'm still waiting for mine to pop, I have such an innie though I'm scared I'll take someone's eye out when it finally goes!

I most definitely did not have a relaxing day and as its the weekend it's my shift with dd (dh and I take it in turns) so just turning the light off now.

Re belly buttons mine didn't pop last time and not sure it will this time either, it is stretched almost flat, anyone else?
