In no way am I a bit soggy cheeked after moomin's brilliant news.... [Blush]

Isean thinking of you!

JessicaRRRabbit · 11/04/2014 08:03

All the best for today Isean - lovely newborn snuggles for you today Smile and Cake for after xx

moas · 11/04/2014 08:03

Thinking of you Isean! How exciting!
Lovely to hear that moomin has news!

Thanks for the tip Vikks, yes bare bottom would be the best! Wish it was summer... It's going OK though, just going through a lot of washing! :) think he's really ready for it now.

moas · 11/04/2014 08:06

Oh and Vikks, mrsa has not been mentioned to me. Have you been unwell? Sorry, can't keep everyone apart always!

bushprincess · 11/04/2014 08:12

Good Luck today Isean!! we'll be thinking of you and looking forward to welcoming maybie #3 into the world!!! Thanks

loopylou52 · 11/04/2014 08:24

Such exciting times in Maybe land! Grin

vikks - I had the mrsa swabs done at my 34 week midwife appointment. She basically gave me two things that were like big cotton buds (the kind you use for ears). I had to put one up my nose and one at the back of my throat. Very strange but apparently standard practice here (maybe depends on hospital?). I'd have thought I might have known if I had mrsa.... Hmm

Thinking of you isean and lovely that moomin has news, I felt that was a long slog so goodness knows how long it felt to her!

Hope you all have nice Fridays, this time next week I will be on leave - eek!

nickyboo · 11/04/2014 08:30

Good luck today Isean!

Wonderful news from Moomin too.

Spirael · 11/04/2014 08:36

Hope everything goes well for you today, isean! :)

Exhausted here... Several broken nights thanks to DD2 bouncing on my bladder, then last night up several times with DD1 who picked up some kind of stomach bug.

Attempting to WFH today and keep an eye on DD1 at the same time - who typically seems right as rain now. Fortunately, she's currently happy running around the garden and playing with the clothes pegs. Got various films on standby!

DH is at least coming to relieve me at lunchtime, so this afternoon should be easier and I can catch up work into the evening if needed.

So glad we have a quiet weekend planned, I need the time to recover! On the plus side, less than a week remaining at work. This time next week, I'll be a lady of leisure! Wink

mamapants · 11/04/2014 08:59

Good luck isean

Looking forward to hearing from moomin

Bornin1984 · 11/04/2014 09:08

You have Mrsa swabs when they know you are
Going to be having surgery ie elcs! I had my swabs done on Monday for elcs and because I work in hospital. If I have it it's come from where I workWink!!

Blood sugars much more stable while in hospital! Can go home tomorrow for a few hours! Yey !!

MasterFlea · 11/04/2014 10:01

Looking forward to hearing from Moomin. Wonder if it was a girl or a boy? Congrats Moomin Thanks

Apple my feet and hands are terribly swollen. Never got like this with dc1&2. My feet get sore when I am up and about for a while. And I can barely fit them into shoes.

Week 35 now. I am imagining that I will go early but it's wishful thinking. Breaking out in spots now and my nails are going to shit. That usually happens after I give birth.

Have DHs friends coming to stay for the weekend with their two boys. DH has been informed that he is getting the beds and cleaning done for them.

Good luck Isean

dobedobedo · 11/04/2014 10:21

I wonder if isean has had her baby yet!

I called the docs to get my whooping cough vax today (totally slipped my mind) and they can't fit me in until next Wednesday. She just told me to cross my legs and don't give birth until then. Reassuring! Hmm

Today I'm very sore, even driving hurts my pelvis. That will be all the cleaning I did yesterday. Oops! I'll take it easier today.

Any plans for the weekend??

NannyPlumForPM · 11/04/2014 10:31

How do we know Moomin has news ?? Have I missed the announcement? Shock

mrsmummytobe · 11/04/2014 10:58

She put it up on fb, nanny with a beautiful photo. Hopefully she will make it on here at some point to tell all of you not in the fb group. So exciting!

NannyPlumForPM · 11/04/2014 11:17

Isean · 11/04/2014 11:47

AliOh · 11/04/2014 11:54

So lovely to hear everyone's baby news!!! I have been checking the Facebook group constantly!! Can't believe we are having babies already, I think I need to get a wiggle on and maybe pack my hospital bag at least! x
