Due Sept 08 - the Final Waddle - part one

[blimey]

we ran out of space! feels just like my womb!

leonie i, too, came over here in 2000...errr...wait.. or was it late 99? ya, thats it, 99-2000. i met dh (was dating a guy who introduced me to my future DH) muwahwahahahah.

but then i went back 'home' in 2000, he followed and i haven't been able to get rid of him sense! and now look where it's got me! super knocked up! again! hehehehehe

((but i luv it))

Good Luck Mellabella (guess we won't hear from you again now for a bit) AND MelT

Are we guessing that Hopefully and Ellideb could be there. Are there any other regulars who are missing?

It's been a while since an announcement.

heheh hillbilly native, cant help but giggle. DH gives me so much hassle about being a hick cos i'm from texas (and because 97% of my family still live there). ok ok, so i made a mistake by flying him to texas to meet the extended family...

if we're watching telly or have the radio on and should we hear a banjo or something like that, i can guarantee if i peek over at him, he'll be looking at me dying to make a comment about it "reminding me of home"....jokingly of course.

oh , but he's got it all wrong! but i let 'em have his fun anyways....

:: sigh :::: the things we put up with from the dh/Ps, eh?

I finished in '91 (oldie mummy). I did an English degree but currently not using it as I teach modern foreign languages instead.

Morning all

How exciting mella and melt, wishing you the best of luck, keep us posted.

Thanks for the info foxy and star. I have a midwife appointment today so am going armed with lots of questions. Dh is coming with me too. I think I am going to hold back on the sweep till early next week to allow my body time to recover from this cough.
I have tried the "Love juice" method on a couple of accasions now (still no joy)

Splish you poor thing with a cough for that long. I think you are the bravest! Mine is still there but improving.

Now I too have this constant dampness down below. But I do believe this is normal at this stage. (tmi). Sometimes it feels as if its dribbling out. Now talking of dribbling I think my pelvic floors have failed already (despite all my eforts). Since I have this cough I am getting tiny leakages .
Its a good job we are all friends on this thread

I second the dampness Mama I think leakages with a cough are only to be expected as well.

I think I know more about you lot than I do about some of my friends! It helps not having to see you all face to face I think. Nothing is taboo and lots of great advice, not sure I would have made it thru without you all. So thanks [soppy cow]

Morning ladies

Good luck today mama and leonieD.

Well, thought things might be kicking off last night but no...sigh. I am really damp too, but it does seem to be getting worse.

Very sore this morning - sharp period like pains but not regular.

Am going to spend the day watching trashy TV and eating crap.

Hope things are movning along for melly and Mel

Where is biglips today? I think she had a sweep yesterday

Sounds like things are moving in the right direction for you becaroo
Enjoy your lazy, trashy tv day .

Getting a bit fed up with things now. I am supposed to have a baby by now- feel at a loose end.

biglips sweep was at 9am this morning so might hear something from her later today?

...I know what you mean mama

Would it be really bad to eat a vienesse whirl at 10am???????

Good morning!
I've still got a week to go and I'm fed up of waiting! Considering that my DS was two weeks late I shouldn't be complaining. This pregnancy has felt veeeery long.
I think I have something trickling out too. I thought it was just me because I keep forgetting to do my pelvic floor exercises!

Have one for me becaroo

I am sat watching Jeremy Kyle in my dressing gown .

Dh is back in an hour or so so am going to wait for him before I shower. I feel like a webble wobble and unsafe if I fall with ds in the house.

Good Morning everyone! Had the worst night sleep ever no matter what just could not get comfortable, had dull achy pains all night that did'nt get worse so not holding my breath!!! been for a walk and done some shopping still no signs he wants to say hi! O well will just have to keep waddeling!!!

Morning all! Was feeling really awful tired and grumpy yesterday but actually had a good night's sleep for once last night and am much better today!

Got a bit panicked though as I woke up with very strong braxton hicks lasting for ages and the baby was going crazy in there... My lower belly feels really sore too. I don't want it to come early as there is still too much to do! Only 8 days left though, good god where did the time go???

becaroo - I'd LOVE a viennese whirl right now but as we don't have any, I've had to settle for 3 mini mars bars that were supposed to be saved for energy rushes during labour!

Someone must have dropped their baby in the last couple of days - where are you guys?!

pregnant rant alert.....

i get sooo fed up sometimes of DH acting like a bloomin child when it comes to finishing a task, whether its for himself, the house, whatever!!! i just want him to finish a task that isn't office/work related (cos he has no problems finishing those, which is a good thing)...and if a mate asks him to help with a computer problem or asks him to play a game online til 3am (when he has work the next morning). those things seem to be no problem for him to finish!

"sign this form thats been here for 3 weeks, put it in the post! finish the meter of wallpapering in the kitchen from last year!! lace your bloomin shoes that you keep moaning about cos you need them!! ffs!!! finish something! for yourself!"
he overslept this morning, must've turned off his alarm and i shouted up the stairs at 9am...he said: why have you let me sleep in so late?!? i could only reply with: cos you are an adult and can take care of yourself and be responsible for your own alarms, right? ((but really, i was busy taking care of ds so i didnt notice the time either..otherwise i wouldve done what i always do and made sure he didn't turn off his alarm.

i know it may sound like all i do is nag him, but i don't. i leave him to it. but the little things are piling up and i dont have enough matches in the house to light the fire under his backside sometimes!

so this morning, as he left for work...it was a nasty row. dh was saying i've had a really nasty attitude over the last few days, i disagreed completely of course! and even if i have, aren't i bloomin allowed??? i mean, really!!! i'm 40 weeks prego!!! uncomfortable, excited, scared, nervous, all the while taking care of a 2 year old, a husband, the house, AND trying to get everything ready for the baby and somewhere in between all that i try to look after myself!~!! if he says i've had a bad attitude for the last 3 days only, then he's made out pretty darn well, i'd say!!! 3 days oh woes to him!

the saddest part about it, , is ds was running around us being very silly and of course heard it all ((he's never ever heard us talk like that to each other...)) and after dh left for work, ds saw me break down and gave me a hug and kept saying: happy happy fynn, i happy meemaw (i'm meemaw). awwww so sweet but a little sad to me in a way...

ok. rant over...
::::::breathe munki, breathe::::::::::::::

i feel so much better...

i think i'll join some of you with the trash telly and junk food today...
whats another 2 pounds of blubber at this stage, eh? as long as it makes me feel better inside.

and yes, i have calmed oh so much since my rant..started it ages ago, but only just remembered to hit "post'. i'm thinkin i wanna spend money today...but don't wanna have to leave the house...hmm...or maybe spend the day in mothercare in hopes my waters break?
hehehe.
naaa, junk food, jammies, telly, time with ds sounds soo much better. ((besides, i can always shop online.)) muwahhhhhaah.

leonie I am horrified that you have no junk food in the house at this stge of your pregnancy! You must tell your dh that you need e numbers and saturated fat immediately!!!!

munki Sorry to hear about your row with dh. Not a nice way to start the day Your ds sounds lovely!

My dh is in denial at the moment I think....hasnt really accepted that there will be a baby arriving in at most 2 weeks time! He keeps turning his phone on to silent at work in meetings etc - WTF???????????? I'll just get the bus to the hospital if I go into labour shall I?????????? Its a good job I love hime or I would have hit him over the head and buried him under the patio long ago

Still pretty uncomfortable but its par for the course, so not gettgin me hopes up. Might have a bath to see if that helps. Or more cake.

so Leonie did romance strike? I am living vicariously on this issue!

I am developing a sudoku habit to pass the time, trash telly gets me very cross!!!
good luck to all who are progressing and all who are waiting

PS I have never had a show I think (2 csections and one to go)

sorry DH is annoying munki, hope you have a good day anyway..

"celebratory baby evicting nookie" enjoy!!!!
