Evening all feeling crap and exhausted as normal have been horrible to the DDs all day, feel all I have done is tell them off. Oh and then bloody DP texts to say he is having a cheeky "one" with a mate as he has had a bad day at work! This was him that told me he wasn't drinking until well after the baby was here so I had to do everything with the DDs myself tonight which is tough. Feeling very sorry for myself tonight.

Rumpel - 36F have seen those nightgowns before they are supposed to be good for night time changes although I only ever changed a poo nappy at night Is horrible when your DC hurt themselves isn't it?

minipink - I hate those post birth wobbles but you know they will pass soon and the feeding settles down quickly too.

Minkus - I know what you mean about being full of baby, I cannot believe I had another 5 weeks of this with DD2, I keep telling this one she has run out of room and if she wants to come out soon she can have a proper stretch. Always amazes me when they do come out and you look at them and think "how did you ever manage to fit in there" especially a big chubby one.

Thats lovely about your Mum as well, I can't imagine being as close to my Mum as to want her with me in labour

abk - I keep looking at my carpets and thinking they need done but there is no chance now. I daren't look under the sofa or beds either.

kaz - must be rough living with back pain all the time, at least I know the SPD will go soon, will your ease a bit once the baby is here?

Just returned from ou antenatal class.. Dh learnt how to massage my back and i learnt how to pant Ready for Labour now

Blimey Kaz! Sounds like you are falling apart

Heffa- Lets hope disney is right as i dont fancy going over my due date.

Minipink- Glad DH and DC are helping you out and Abi is settling in well.

Feel for you, it's not easy having kids and being pregnant. Doing tea, baths and getting them to bed in the evening is the hardest!! and to think it has to be done all over again tommorw! Hang in there..

minipinkscottish
Can you send on your DH, could do with a massage..

Jodie
I was thinking of peanut, hope all is well with DS and peanut. Prob to busy with Ds they do take time...

Posted earlier today and lost the post!! Realy feeling the presure down below in the last two days... O i cant wait for lo to arrive..

JODIEhavingababy · 18/06/2008 21:50

Oh PIgley that sounds nice.. Was that an NCT one? at out 'parntcraft' classes they didn't do any of that, just what kind of care to expect during and after the birth (like when the MW hands you over to the HV etc) and the biology of giving birth... (bit scary seeing how big 10cm actually is!!

Well I've just been to yoga, and it hasn't sorted out the sciatica, so I decided to have a nice hot warm bath, and the pressure has gine in the boiler, so just cold water!!! Things aren't going my way today.. Am now in bed sitting on a hot water bottle.

Rumple I do worry about things in bed, but not the hand of god' type things, I get worked up and upset about the evil in this world, like the guy in Austria who locked up his daughter, and how much crime there is now, and what's the world going to be like when DS's are old..... I don't watch the news , your right, It depresses the hell out of me, I just like to keep abreat on what's going on politically really... What made you ask that?

SK I know how you feel, I really shouted at DS this afternoon coz he wouldn't take his nap and he was super tired (and so was I) and I felt so guilty afterwards, but when I gave him a cuddle later he told me tht he loved me and gave me a kiss It's moments like that that make it all worfth while (I wish I could bottle them and keep them forever!) I wonder if these moods are to do with the full moon?

Disney Hope your little boy is OK today and it wasn't too hard on him.

Does anyone remember AGES ago someone asked us to guess date of birth and weight of baby, just for shits and giggles... Can anyone remember (or own up) who it was???? I can't be bothered to trawl throgh the old threads.....

JODIEhavingababy · 18/06/2008 21:51

My typo's are appauling (sp?) sorry!

pigleychez · 18/06/2008 22:08

Jodie- Not an NCT group and normal NHS class. The Midwife leading the group is lovely and helpful.
Also done the usual diagrams and group dicussions about pain relief.
Shes truthful about what will happen but also understands that its not exactly the nicest/graceful thing either. agree about the 10cm's .

isaidno · 18/06/2008 22:24

Hello!

Baby Poppy Elizabeth born 3:52am this morning weighing 6lb 4oz - so a teeny dot!

Photo on profile.

Congrats ISAID NO....... She's so beautiful, and Poppy Elizabeth is a georgeous name.. big hugs out to you and your family xxx

pigleychez · 18/06/2008 22:31

ohh Isaidno!! Congratulations!!

Weve all been wondering if you'd had her or not yet.

Shes sooo cute

Many Congratulations again!! So pleased for you!!

purplejennyrose · 18/06/2008 22:45

Isaidno - congratulations, she is so beautiful!! Lovely name. Look forward to the story!
Libra1975 - if you are worried re position, will no-one do a scan? My midwife got me in to the unit and did a very quick scan which found baby was breech. Mind you, I guess we were talking about homebirth and a knackered pelvis, so kind of needed to know. But if you are concerned it will affect how you labour / birth and think it might be breech, don't see why they shouldn't scan you...if you're enough weeks now for it to be relevant...
We have not had a sunny day here - West Wales has been blowing a gale with pouring rain all day! Still, had a nice day out at the Centre for Alternative Technology, and an evening pub meal with my oldest friend, her dh and dds.
DD bit nearly through her dummy (she has still been having one at night - I hate them - my guilty secret!) - so we had a big talk about how the dummy is broken and could really hurt her, and she doesn't need it cos she is such a big girl now..and blow me, she went off to sleep quite happily! What will happen when she wakes up at 3am remains to be seen!
Congrats again to isaidno and other new mummies - who will be next!!

AggiePanther · 18/06/2008 22:48

Congratulations isaidno she's lovely!

TJuice · 18/06/2008 22:50

sweetkitty · 19/06/2008 04:39

whooohooo congraulations isaidno and welcome to Poppy

Can't believe another one of us has had a baby

Will update list in a bit.

Well as you can tell it's 4.30am and I'm on here woke up about an hour ago and cannot get back to sleep. DP has not come home yet and I am so livid, part of me knows he has probably crashed at his mates (I did tell him not to come home if he had been drinking last night) but as I'm 37 weeks pregnant it is really not on. Feel so let down by him don't know what he is playing at. Anyway am going to try and get some more sleep in a bit as I will be extra shattered today.

Don't wnat to bring down a happy thread with isaidno's news.

Wow another baby - well done Isaidno - she's lovely and so is the name xxxx

I'm on here as I'm up again...think I shouldn't have tried to sleep last night

Abbie was fed at 9.30 and then 10.15 then 12.15 then....on and on till 3am then 4.15 and we're still up ...
If she keeps eating like this she'll put on weight in no time and I'll be size zero (I wish)

libralady · 19/06/2008 06:12

Congratulations Isaidno. Poppy Elizabeth is lovely. Sorry you didn't get your home birth that you wanted but at least she's arrived safe and sound.

Am still having pains myself, but whoohooh it's my last day at work so will just take it easy.

Didn't realise so many of us on the thread were Welsh!

Don't live in Wales but that is where I consider to be home iyswim. My family come from Aberfan in South Wales, and we try to visit several times a year, plus with the holidays to North Wales (Snowdonia) for DS to see the trains (a huge Thomas fan!)

Anyway, off to get ready. I can have a lie in tomorrow, pains and bladder permitting!

disneystar · 19/06/2008 06:58

isaidno shes so lovely i cried when i saw her i guess its just the reality of it all kickin in now
im so uncomfortable here to today these babies feel huge dont they
been a bit weepy last few days and quiet i havnt spoken to my DH really i just have nothing to say to him except when he answers
ive had to write all my DS dates times when he has his meds down when he needs his bloods done incase im not here so he can take over
was debating on swimming this morning with my 4 yr old
asi have like cramps or wheres he lying funny at the bottom of my tummy
come home for lunch then of to hospital with my other DS
never ends really
i have 18 days till my induction
im excited but terrifies me

pigleychez · 19/06/2008 08:01

Morning all,

woo hooo! Another night slept through!

But why do i still feel absoluetly knackered and wiped out!

Sk- tut tut at DP
Thanks for updating the list. Girls are beating to boys at the mo.

Disney- 18 days! Not long for you then
Know what you mean about feeling excited but scared at the same time.

Well i have the midwife this afternoon so intrigued to see how much further this bubba has engaged in the past 2 weeks.
