"Welcome Baby Bolat. It is x minutes since our last post".

BB so glad all is well with you and baby. I agree you should complain about that witch you saw earlier.

SpringySunshine · 20/03/2009 20:20

surprise, how jammy of you to get a lovely second hand pram - & to know where it's come from & have faith that it's not going to be filthy or anything!

Your DH is still doing well! Long may it last

surprisenumber3 · 20/03/2009 20:23

he'll soon get bored springy, but I am enjoying it while it lasts!

We were going pram and car seat hunting tomorrow so at least we don't need to do that now. Got to wait til next w/e to pick it up from friend but hopefully baby won't come in the meantime!

BB - so jealous of you having another scan..I want one!!

BabyBolat · 20/03/2009 20:26

i actually think I will, me and DH were talking about it on the way home and even though I wasn't too worried because I had hear the h/beat tuesday and knew everything was ok but she just didn't even offer an explanation to her concerns just told me to go back to the hospital - stupid cow!

Schulte · 20/03/2009 20:29

Evening ladies! BB glad you got checked over and that everything is fine.

Had a very busy today running around in the park with DD and baking cakes so am shattered and DH is cooking dinner once again

DD's second birthday tomorrow and I am starting to get a bit nervous because I've still got so many things to prepare - right now I feel too tired to even wrap her present! Also wondering how we're going to fit 7 toddlers plus parents and baby siblings into our tiny house. And what things I have to move out of the way to make sure they don't hurt themselves while playing (the toddlers, not the parents). Our garden is full of poisonous berries, for starters...

SpringySunshine · 20/03/2009 20:30

A less level-headed woman / someone who hadn't been reassured on Tuesday already could've got into a right stress about what she said. It was really unprofessional of her, never mind how insensitive it was as a human!

PuzzleRocks · 20/03/2009 20:48

Schulte - I hope your DD has a great birthday. And you are not too exhausted by it all.

BB - What a stupid cow for worrying you. You should complain. But i'm really pleased that everything is okay.

tristaleejac · 20/03/2009 20:58

well that's me off to chill out in the bath then get an early night. Hope you all sleep well, goodnight xxx

Schulte · 20/03/2009 21:06

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 20/03/2009 21:45

Just popping in again quickly , going to try and write my birth plan tonight so am starting that. Thought I'd start with my old one but can';t find it anywhere - sure we had this computer then. Will prob have to start from scratch.

DH has just started "sorting out" the plumbing downstairs so we can go get a dishwasher tomorrow - he's got to put connectors into the pipes as there aren't any there at the moment. Hes generally pretty handy when it comes to DIY but plumbing is his least fav kind of DIY.. Question: why do they always have to start these things late at night/on a sunday when all the necessary shops are closed?? I can guarentee he's going to get part-way through and find that he's missing a vital part, so we'll probably have no water in the kitchen till at least late tomorrow afternoon (at the earliest) [exasperated face!]

Think you are right about driving smutty & trista.
Can't cope with not driving so have dropped the codine tonight and switched back to paracetamol alone - will brave it out til I can speak to my GP on Monday. Disturbingly, given I've a history of fairly significant bleeding post-partum, I have realised tonight that the blurb with the codine says it can affect the level of blood clotting cells. Another reason I've switched back to paracetamol, just in case. Will check it out on monday.

B52s - yep, in Swindon, didn't realise you were too. we have reversable due dates too me 12 you 21 !! We should meet up

bronze - hope you have a quiet night and things clear up soon. I found it bad enough with just one having D+V, let alone multiples!

SmuttyNuttyTaff · 20/03/2009 23:00

Mumble - could you possibly drop the codine during the day and just take it at night so you can get some sleep as it should wear off by the morning so you would be able to drive?

anyhoo am going to pop off to bed am bushed

nighty night xx

Marking this spot in a non excretory fashion.

Bleuravin · 21/03/2009 04:18

Didn't go off to the hospital last night because when Dh got home my BP was even lower, though the headache was not gone either...He just sent me to bed after seeing me eat a proper meal and drink some more fluids.
Up though with more of a headache than I've had in a long long while...it's slowly wrapping around the back of my head... But the baby is moving and I'm still not puffy nor do I have high BP...I wonder if I'm being hit by some sort of allergy or cold...
Hugs to everyone this weekend...probably won't be/might not be on until Wednesday as PILs are down sunday night until Tuesday to help 'clean'...I gave in...DH was pestering so; though I'm not sure what I'm going to have them do...but we'll see...hopefully things will be low stress, especially if this headache continues or I'll be in the Daily Mail as Pregnant Woman Bites Heads off ILs or some such nonsense...

Bleuravin · 21/03/2009 04:54

Glad everything is good with you and baby BB

I'm going to try and sleep again...

BoffinMum · 21/03/2009 07:43

Bleu, if the headache is still there when you have woken up, you need to get checked out. It may not be PE but could be something less common that needs attention. This close to the end of the pg you need to take 100% care of yourself and seek medical attention very much more assiduously than before. Listen to your Aunty Boff now.

Schulte · 21/03/2009 07:50

Morning all

Well DD had a relative lie-in until about 6.30 which would have been lovely hadn't I been awake since 5am with a horribly sore back, neck and shoulders. Can barely move my head. Just hope DH will get up soon so I can stand in the hot shower, hopefully that will help.

Had a couple of horrible dreams too - one was that DD2 was stillborn. The other dream was that they lost her in the hospital. It was 2 days after the birth and I still hadn't seen my baby. I kept begging them to find her and let us go home and they didn't understand at all why I was so upset. It was awful. Eventually they found DD2 and sent her home with DH but kept me in and when I did see her for the first time about a week after the birth, she was only as long as my index finger and didn't look healthy at all. Also - and this was the funny bit - DH had made a hell of a mess of the house and there were dirty nappies lying around everywhere and wee puddles all over the floor.

I guess maybe that's what it would look like if men were left in charge of newborns though?

BoffinMum · 21/03/2009 08:01

Schulte, if men were left in charge of newborns they would get better at it and no doubt create very many gadgets to make life easier in the process.

I have to say my DH is super duper with all ages of children. He probably cuts their nails a bit less often and I am more assiduous on removal of parastic things and teeth cleaning, but he comes pretty close.

PuzzleRocks · 21/03/2009 08:02

Good morning

Bleu - I hope you feel better today and don't attack the in-laws.

Schulte - My dreams have got much stranger as well.
DH is actually amazing with newborns. With DD however, the pair of them are a nightmare if left alone togtether. They pretty much rampage through each room turnng it upside down in the name of fun whilst spilling as much food and drink as they possibly can.

PuzzleRocks · 21/03/2009 08:06

DH is more than capable of doing anything for DD (breastfeeding excluded). However, he has NEVER cut her nails or washed her hair, the two things she hates. Mummy has to be the bad guy. God forbid anything ever happens to me and my child will end up with matted dreads and 12 inch talons because he can't stand to see his baby cry.

Schulte · 21/03/2009 08:16

Hee hee Puzzle yes when DH plays with DD the room is always a mess afterwards as well. They keep losing toys and then I have to come and find them between the sofa cushions or behind the books on the shelves or under the fridge.

DD prefers me to clean her teeth and wash her hair rather than DH but other than that I have to admit he's always been very good with her too. I have fond memories of him singing and talking to her while changing her nappy on our first day at home after she was born. It was lovely.

Schulte · 21/03/2009 08:17

She keep telling me it's her 'happy birthday' today BTW

BoffinMum · 21/03/2009 08:23

LOL Puzzle!! You had better stay in one piece then.

DH is lovingly making me toast, even though he has another one of his awful headaches.

PuzzleRocks · 21/03/2009 08:23

Oh yes, many happy returns to your DD. Try not to take on too much today, ket the opther parents pitch in.

I have adult friends over for lunch, and the thought of that is exhausting enough. Which reminds me, I must get of my bottom and tidy up.

Hope to catch up later. x
