Morning everyone. I miss nearly a full day and there's lots to catch up on!
.
Had a nice day at Bicester yesterday, weather was lovely. Although I didn't spend a penny myself (which I'm quite glad about) as it turned out my favourite shop had closed in January!
We bought some baby clothes which were hard to resist! So I can relate with you there, Penguin
. They grow out of them so quickly but I think Daddy just wanted to choose him some clothes himself, so that's the last of the clothes bought for now!
So the only thing I treated myself to was some chocolate from Pret! I consider it a treat as I haven't got a Pret that's really local to me. So I had a chocolate mousse thing while I was there, and brought home two flapjack type bars and a slice of chocolate cake
.
Also, whilst walking around, 2 on-site paramedics struck up a conversation with us, and he asked how long I'd got left, when I told him I'd got 2 weeks he betted that I didn't have my 'little red book' with me. Which I'm assuming he meant my notes, so I said that I did but that they were in the car, to which he told me off as I didn't actually have them on me! Perhaps if they actually were 'a little red book' I would take them everywhere with me, but they are and A4 sized booklet that won't fit in my handbag! Notes must be different for different areas, I'm guessing.
Good luck today, Cinnamon!
Brixton I can relate! I'm 38 weeks now and still feel 'relatively normal' (sort of), so yes I'm also going to be in for a shock!
I also have had no plug, no major twinges, no BH's or anything so it's hard to believe I'm nearing the end of pregnancy. The midwife told me last week that he is now 2/5ths engaged but other than the bump dropping slightly I haven't really noticed! Although if/when he drops any further before actual birth, I probably will! But she told me you can go into labour with him being like that so he may not even actually drop any more beforehand.
LivvyLondon sorry to hear you're having those thoughts. There's not much I can say but think positive vibes! RE reflexology, at a guess, I'm thinking it could work in the way that they say it gives off that certain hormone (I can't remember the name of it!) as when you're relaxed, or have DTD. I'm thinking about booking a pedicure which includes a leg massage, hoping it might give off some sort of relaxing labour hormones, as I'm sure I won't be getting any sort of massage from the other half! Lol.
Roastpots sorry you're DH is going back to work. My other half will have to take any time off unpaid as he's currently working for an agency, so it's sort of as and when it happens. My mum is on standby and with other half being a lorry driver, it's just hoping he gets back in time, which should be reasonably ok unless I happen to have a very quick labour and birth!
Daholster we haven't got any proper baby clothes storage either, other than the changing table which does have drawers but it's still not in the place it needs to be, so I haven't put any clothes away in it yet. When I had a clear out of my clothes in January/February I ended up with 2 spare drawers so baby clothes have gone in there for now! And then still have a bag full.
Well I'm going to try and get back to sleep now, hopefully. Although I can see that it's light outside which will make it difficult to switch off
