HazieDazieandBaby · 01/06/2008 00:33

Aww, fingers crossed that you get your long lie before you get them back. It must be weird to be in the house by yourself when you normally have all those other people there. I had a freak out moment the other week when I realised the opposite! DH was out playing football and PIL had the dog so I was in the house by myself and I suddenly thought, 'Argh, I might not get the chance to be all alone for ages after August!' About 29+3 too late for that kind of thinking really!

dizzydixies · 01/06/2008 00:41

lol, I used to love living on my own, its taken me a while to get used to having such a busy house so I relish the rare occassions when am on my own, still feels more like a home when they're all here

my dog was completely balded today - she's outside trying to regain her respect and authority but the cats are just pointing and laughing

right am off to bed as pooped and another late shift tomorrow

sleep well

HazieDazieandBaby · 01/06/2008 00:45

Aww, your poor dog! Cats can be mean sometimes!

Nite nite, I'm sending 'don't wake up dizzy' vibes to your bladder, hope it works!!

Forgot to count Hazie's GIRL in my first post.

CONGRATS Hazie!! Glad things were sorta salvaged this weekend.

Captain, I've lived off of peppermint candy and peppermint tea since getting my throat/chesty thing.....10 weeks ago now. Maybe that will help you some. You must have picked it up on the plane ride. I really don't know anyone in the states that hasn't had what you're describing. Docs have blamed it on "allergies" but I really think it's something else. And for a while I too, puked due to the cough. As if being pregnant wasn't enough misery.......

Well I survived my family gathering. SIL stayed on my porch most of the time chain-smoking. She has COPD but "can't" stop smoking. How dumb is that? Anyway DH walked the kids down to the lake and they had a blast fishing...the little girls all had toy fishing poles which they dipped in the water pretending to catch THE BIG ONE. All four kids never left my DHs side the whole afternoon. The evening ended with another wonderful surprise....SIL & the kids plan to stay the whole week. Yeah about the kids but about the SIL. DB gets to drive home and spend the week alone. THANK GOODNESS they're sleeping over at my dad's. Anyway all went well in the end.

Oh one more thing to add to Captain's hospital bag. ONE LACEY G-STRING

Hi guys, great bumps and babies pics! I wish everyone would stop apologising when then post long posts, I LOVE reading about everyone else!

I don't know what possessed me but we got a new tent. Yes, and we camped in the garden last night. Yes, and my back is absolutely killing me and I cannot get into the right stretch that will sort of ease it out, if you know what I mean. So TS I'm with you on the feeling lousy today. We had people over all day yesterday & will be more here today, Just want to lie in bath / on bed with someone muscular and medically qualified working on my lower back muscles .

But I think I should be grateful, given the easy ride I've had so far, physically, when others have suffered.

Beautiful weather here today.

HazieDaziesomewhatCrazie congratulations on your daughter! I really really love Gabriella. I know a Gaby who is one "g".

dd did I see somewhere you'd been predicted a 12-pounder?

If anyone even SHOWS me a lacy g-string after I've given birth I will happily strangle em with it.

alittlebitshy · 01/06/2008 10:50

Just saying hi to get this on my threads i'm on list

Off to church but will try and post later.

I've amused myself by reading through the thread and the end of the last one. Good stuff ladies - and in particular - TS loving the title!!!!

xx

Hazie - Congrats on a little Girl
Dizzy hope you managed your long lie in.
All I have to say to CC is 'at least you have a hospital bag!

Am currently driving DH mad with my urge to clean - he found it amusing initially as i am the worlds most untidy person (and he is obsessively tidy!)Now I NEED to clean things.This morning it was the bathroom right down to marigolds and hand down the loo to remove the limescale the brush couldn't get. Please someone help me before I start ironing. [pleading]

warthog · 01/06/2008 11:54

hi all,

anyone else struggling with sleeping? last night was the 5th night of insomnia, and despite being exhausted i Did Not Get To Sleep AT ALL! i'm useless today.

haziedazie - i LOVE the name gabby! my opinion - i think it should be spelt gabby, otherwise i think kids will take the piss and call her gabe-y if it's spelt with one b. ime kids look for anything to tease you about...

CaptainCaveman · 01/06/2008 12:31

Right there with you warthog on the insomnia/crap sleep. The cough I've got starts off the minute my eyes open then keeps me coughing for at least 10 minutes. Given that I must wake up every 60 to 90 minutes to change position, that doesn't make for a lot of sleep. Ds got into our bed at 4.30 so as soon as he fell asleep I went and got in his bed for 2 hours and slept fairly well. Then lovely dh got up early with ds so at least I had a lie-in (or a lion as ds calls it) until 9am.

Add to that bloody infuriatingly irritable legs syndrome. My legs seem to take it in turns to be 'irritable'. First one feels like it's on fire, then the other one takes off. I'm off out to find some magic cure for it (or at least something that might soothe it!). Wonder if Clarins magic tingly super fantastic leg cream stuff will help?

Hello VG and albs - do you have any suggestions for adding to the ideal labour bag? I like the lacy g-string and running clothes ideas too.

oopsacoconut · 01/06/2008 12:51

Cavey - just realised you should probably pack a home waxing kit - just so you are all tidy when you put on the lacy g-string.

VintageGardenia · 01/06/2008 13:08

Well there are a few things you left out all right.

Tampons for any light bleeding. Regular / mini should be fine.

Some fresh all-white cotton / linen mix pyjamas, so that you can be pretty when receiving MIL, unexpected work colleague, etc, the day after delivery.

Webcam for live link-up to work. This can be used first in the delivery suite, later moved beside your hospital bed to show early attempts at breastfeeding, etc.

Exercise bike (you can get very good foldaway portable ones with razor sharp saddles to keep you on your toes) for straddling in the first few days - there shouldn't be any excuse for not starting to get your figure back asap.

Few books of tasteful erotica to make sure you're in the mood when DP/DH decides to try out your hospital bed.

First few modules of an Open University course of your choice - gotta keep the brain from going soggy. Being off work and a new mum CAN have a detrimental effect but really we should ward that off.

miamla · 01/06/2008 17:40

I love all the hospital bag ideas! I hadn't realised how much useful stuff I'd missed out of my bag!
Something I'm going to arrange are some tickets for a nice opera or ballet or something for when we're released from hospital. I'm sure baby will stay quiet and it'll be exactly what I'll fancy doing with a newborn

Buckets · 01/06/2008 17:40

LOL VG, I'm Ebaying my tent this week! Decided by the time we go again I'll want something fancier and it's too big for our garden at this house so not even any use as a gazebo/playhouse.

I suddenly remembered dreaming that my boobs were leaking everywhere last night, like I felt soaked. Hoho crazy pg dreams thought I, but went to check my nightie anyway. Oh look, seems it wasn't entirely a dream after all. Time to buy another shelfy-vest top (Matalan is cheapest FYI) and start using the pads.

cyteen · 01/06/2008 18:48

Leakage already? And you're only a couple of weeks ahead of me...

Speaking of which, we had our NCT breastfeeding session this morning. Twas v good and really nice to see the other couples again, although as they're all due in July some of the mums have started maternity leave now, which makes me extremely . I just cannot be arsed with work right now, am doing nothing more than marking time until I finish.

miamla · 01/06/2008 18:56

And breath... The pil have left the building!
Lots achieved but unfortunately this also involved both me and dp telling fil that is was our house and therefore our decisions to make.he (fil) means well and only wants to help but is finding the transition from him being a father of a little boy to being the father of a grown man who's now a home owner and a soon to be father, especially hard.my avoidance techniques worked well but dp tookk the brunt of his father's good ideas!
I've been busy cutting back the ivy on the shed.I'm really hoping that removing it isn't fuelled by pregnancy brain! It does look beautiful but its starting to damage the brickwork and its raising the shed roof. Can someone tell me I'm doing the right thing please!

Lol re you dream buckets, I've been having similar issues and was wondering what the answer was!

Broadband is being installed tomorrow so I'll be off blackberry and onto proper sized screen again! Once I've got a screen bigger than two inches I promise to catch up properly!

Oh, and cat news.. He's now got full access to roam whereever he likes,inside and out. This of course means that instead of trying to escape all the time, he's spending every moment he can either sitting on my lap or trying to climb up and sit on my shoulder. I wonder about him sometimes![Hmm]

cyteen · 01/06/2008 19:00

Very impressed at your calmness re. the cat miamla - I don't dare let ours out before 2 weeks to a month whenever we move. In my defence, (a) they are very stupid and timid, and (b) we've moved a lot so I always worry they'll be easily unsettled and run off in the early weeks.

Think it makes sense this time as there are loads of other cats around here. A couple of times at around 11pm there has been some serious cat-fighting noises in the road out front as well, which makes me think this area has some kind of big daddy cat that will make paste of my two

miamla · 01/06/2008 19:29

Hmm but I did fail to mention that I spent about an hour last night calling him. Dp eventually found him cowering in a tree. It would seem the local ginger tom cornered my cat up there! He was such a bully at the old place, he's getting a taste of his own medicine. I suspect that's why he hasn't left my side today..he's such a baby!
Cyteen, trust me, if it was left to me, mine would have been kept inside for a lot longer but dp allergic and cat seemed settled here really quickly so I figured we'd give it a go. Dp was so worried last night when we couldn't find him. Not because he cares about the cat, more that he didn't want his pregnant girlie sitting crying in the garden refusing to come in until he was found! I was actually really calm, I knew he'd come back evebtually.

PetitFilou1 · 01/06/2008 20:08

Hello all
What has been going on while I've been away... bald dogs, Brad's sausage.... I am missing out! For some reason I never seem to have time to get on here - is it something to do with living in the countryside I wonder (or possibly more because I have to do packed bloody lunches and dinners the night before a nursery day...aaargh hate it)

Am loving the ideal hospital bag idea. I particularly like VG's latest suggestions. What can I add.....
the whitest towels you can find
some KY jelly to help you and dh get back into action asap (obv goes with the erotica and lacy g string)
pair of high heels (don't want to look frumpy in the hospital bed obviously)
your mother in law because it would be so upsetting not to have her at the birth
a reality tv film crew as you'll obviously want to play back everything at a later date

VintageGardenia · 01/06/2008 20:09

Gosh Buckets I haven't had any leakage at all. Is this quite common?

PetitFilou1 · 01/06/2008 20:11

Btw am now wearing my elastic under the bump belt thing that I got from my physio friend last time..wondered when I would start to need that. Standing for any length of time now HURTS. Only three months to go.... ho hum! My pubic bone feels like it is coming in two (oh well it probably is seeing this is three in five years... )

PetitFilou1 · 01/06/2008 20:36

Come on you miserable lot, someone talk to me, where are you all?!

Buckets · 01/06/2008 20:40

Oh I leaked from about 20wks with my other two pregs, it was quite upsetting at first. I remember being too embarassed to buy disposable pads in Boots and making DH do it instead! This time around I'd only noticed the odd mark on my nightie so far - I'd assumed it would get more 'fluent' with each baby but I guess not. I'll just be wearing vest (and washable pads) and pants to bed from now on, hurray for summer babies.
