Afternoon all,
Managed to go into town today, after midwife had a good old prod and poke to find which way baby is lying (doesn't look breach, yay!) and think I've done myself a mischief, will soon find out when I wake up tomorrow, either be in just the same old pain or unable to move
My tummy's been feeling a bit iffy since I got on the bus home (hope it's not an indication of anything, although Jon would be happy to have baby come now!) Was even tempted to get off the bus at the hospital but thought I'd just look silly for going in and saying "my tummy feels iffy, can you just check me over!" They'd laugh me out of there quicker than you can think! LOL
So, am keeping an eye on tummy and hips at the moment now, and both are making me feel rubbish (after being told by, now, 3 people that I'm looking a bit trimmer/slimmer) and feeling rather Hippo-like
Oh well! Will just have to pamper myself tonight with new foot spa and get to bed early!
kinki: I don't keep wonderweb in the house, that's just cheating!! That and I always manage to burn his crappy polyester trousers LOL But I did tell him that I'm buying him some and he can do it himself next time
mrsfish: Ooh @ nice new facilities! Our's has just got itself a new birthing pool so am hoping, if I do have to go in, to be using that!! lmao @ oompa loompa
Don't be silly you're not going to sleep more than 2 hours at a time when the LO comes along!!
filbrit: Yup, I'm finding it harder and harder to sleep, with it taking me half an hour to turn over each time and the fact that I just cannot sleep until I have turned over, aswell as having to have a massively rolled up duvet at the bottom of the bed to keep my feet in the air, and I've tried using the bed mats recently too (which I am not getting on with as it's so darn hot that I'm either sticking to them or, with it under the sheet, am sticking to the sheet) and trying just an old towel is even worse as the towel gets all scrunched up every time I turn over It's just rubbish isn't it, so yes am definately feeling your pain there!
you not having stretch marks, although mine this time round aren't as dark as the first time, but are making the first lot come up a bit more too, so I look like a rather injured zebra!!
toadstool: LOL I was on the toilet when she pulled up so didn't have time to hide She didn't prod for too long but gave me a bit of a jolt when she looked for head in my pelvis I nearly bit my tongue!!
Ooh whereabouts are you? I've got a load of stuff that we are not going to use so you can have it if you want! Got a rather large Moses basket (my friend gave me a smaller one last week) and we've got a baby bath/top&tail unit too (only used it a couple of times with DD and don't see the point in it hanging around, going unused), we probably have plenty of other bits and pieces (have a strange travel basket type thing and the top half of a silver cross pram, whcih would do as a basket too, and loads of other bits that are sat in our spare room) so, if you're close or want a day out come on over LOL
REF: baby monitors, we only used our's a couple of times and it just got annoying in the end as it would pick uptiny sounds (and make them sound like a blooming thunderstorm in our front room LOL) I'm going to keep them for this one, just in case I get on better with it this time but got a feeling I probably wont need them for long! Also, with the one's that do all the extra's, HR monitor/LO's temp etc, I steered well clear as even looking at them made me totally paranoid! I knew I'd be up and down the stairs if the tiniest change happened!
Kelmcd: We got a sprung one for DD's cot just cos it lasts longer, and now we're going to use same cot for this LO so pretty glad we did
ECATLM: I forgot the blooming bread didn't I?! LOL Oh well might remember it tomorrow when I have to brave the market for fruits and veggies
LOL @ miserable old trout!!
mrsbumblebee: I still have to pack my bag. . . you reminded me, I will do it once I've posted this, and cleared the sewing room, and hoovered, and done the washing. . . . might do it tomorrow. . .
Mmmm home-made scones!! I've got some lovely home-made jam to go with those if you fancy sharing!! Just got to find someone with clotted cream now!!
kerri28: Well done you on completing chores etc, all in one week too! Do you fancy coming over and doing mine for me
motherhysteria: All the luck in the world to amyclaramum, hope she's not getting too bored, we'll have to Email her some daily sudoku or something LOL
Righty-ho, hope you all get some good sleep tonight, I'm off to get that sewing room sorted (yeah right!! )
