Due June 09: The final Countdown: RLT, BH, SPD, HB, EC, VBAC & no plans to TTC again!

[Ineedmorechocolatenow]

Here it is!

Good Afternoon Juners!!!

I need glasses- my eyes have gone all blurry now-- Its amazing how much you have to catch up after missing a day!!

I'm getting paranoid- re pain, fluid, when or when not to phone the hosptial!!! Its doing my head in. I've been told to ring if feel pain, scar tenderness, waters breaking etc you would have thought being my 3rd i'd know but each one has been completely different!!! But my dilema is-- does it have to be mild or very painful!!! I'm confused- cos if its mild- then Delivery will know my voice before my date is due!!!

I laughed at the nipple stimulation- my DH read about this in order to get your breasts ready for feeding!!!! Any excuse- as hes very deprived in that area!!!!
He has had is pacifier though!!! Hes been taking naked boobie pics throughout my pg- so he can remember my changes!!!! [blush} And pics of bump throughout-- I hate the naked ones- as I hate my body- but its the least I can do- as hes been FAB- all through the last 33week ( 33 wks today)

DH and DD have gone to the Radio ones big weekend- as we are in Swindon- where its being held-- so hoping I don't have any probs- has he hasn't got the car nearby!!

My other thing I was going to ask you lovely ladies is that I am thinking of getting sterilised at the same time as my C_section- reasons are DRs advised no more for me couldn't cope with this SPD again, as each tme its meant to get worse couldn't put family through it again no more room and finance at the inn and while I'm "open"-they may as well do it there and then, so I don't have to go in and have a GA for it and DH is very squeamish about is "circ'd" willy!!! My worry is that even though I know its right to do-- I worry that it will ruin the first precious moments with my new LO, knowing that there will def be no more and whether it would bring on PND -IYKWIM!!!

Anyway have a good day and no doubt, I will add a few extras during the dayxx
lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Effie - If you are really sure about sterilisation then I would say go for it... but then again I don't know your history. Have you had PND before (or depression)?Apologies if you have already said. I don't think that being sterilised should ruin your first moments or bring on PND (if you get it you'd probably get it anyway I think) but this is just me guessing, I don't know at all for sure! I'm a bit of a 'go with your instinct' kind of girl...

Right, enough with the research, going to help dh with some painting so we can get out of here sooner rather than later!

Thanks LittleSarah I haven't had PND- but my mum has a mental illness and some say its genetic!!! I think I will-- if I'm prepared then perhaps the effects won't be like some say!!! I see the consultant on Fri- so will discuss then!!
Thanks againxx

Effie- I'm with little Sarah IF YOU ARE SURE then then seems as good time as any. BUT you must be sure..... no lingering doubts. For us DH has honourably agreed to "fall on his sword" and visit the vets aka get the snip!! He has seen me with the last 3 pregnancies and has agreed that it's his turn now. I will even pander to his every need for at least 24 hours. If he hadn't agreed and I was having a cs I would most definitely want it all over and done with, but I think that comes down to personal choice for me 3 was the magic number...

Managed to panic dh again this morning (that's twice in less than 12 hours, his poor heart) although this time was slightly more real, with full on rocking through the BH, which were on and off for at least 3/4 of an hour. DH had to feed and dress the girls before I felt remotely normal again!

For all the talk about getting my bag ready (thanks naat) It's still mostly strewn over the bedroom floor sorted into neat piles, so this evening I AM GOING TO PACK please feel free to harangue encourage me later!!!

Right off to be practical ( or mn )

Hi ladies!
effie yes, it's a very personal decision of course, but I agree, if you get ready for it (emotionally, psichologically as well as physically) and you have around you the support you need, then everything will be fine. It's great that you'll discuss it with your doc on Friday. Is this Tuesday you get your date??? Fingers super crossed for it to be the one you wanted

doris cheering for you tonight for you to be able to finish packing (esp. as you're giving your DH such scares ) I wonder if your LO will be the first one out! You'd better be ready

Right, lots of BHs here, they're not leaving me alone, my bump is rock hard and I cannot sit down and feel comfortable, it's either on my birthing ball or lying on my side...

No BH here... just painting, still. Dh said reassuringly we'll be going in about an hour about half an hour ago and I was like yes I should think so, we've been here since 12!

I did manage to order a moses basket mattress from ebay and do some research so it hasn't been a total write-off.

Hope you finish soon littleS!
Yay on the mattress, though!

have started reading thread, cannot keep up.....am generally freaking out now at thought of labour vs cs- the doc here seems v relaxed, ie just does yet another scan , tells me baby weight and see you next week! says baby will not be more than 3.2 kg at 40 weeks, so i can try to have normal labour or a cs like last time. trouble is he is famous cs surgeon not fanous for non intervention births. like i have said before, there are no midwives here, the doc is there. and i have an irrational dislike for him now and don;lt trust him. my dh is being v patient but can tell the tears are doing his head in.
have written 3 page birth plan for a hospital that doesnlt have them.
am about to start thread on internals during labour and have just refused one this w/e ie "you need a high vaginal swab" me "No i don't" him "ok, we won't then" no expalnation, no arguing... wtf? what was it for?

sorry but am v panick stricken. have packed 2 hospital bags, one for baby and one for me. squashed in bf pillow somehow. plan to bf lying down but will take anyway.

evening juners hope you had a lovely day.

well last night was fab, me and DH went for a lovely meal together (just us) as we felt it would be the last chance before baby flynn arrives I thoroughly enjoyed my night and to make it better we popped into Asda on way home to find the sold my favourite wrestler's auto-bio Brett Hart how sad am I!? Had been searching for it over here but was led to believe I could only get it over in the States and my aunt was going to get me one next week shipped over...again how sad am i lol.

BH is getting strong now and baby's movements are a lot harder, feels like one of her feet are stuck in my ribs...oh the joys lol

doris yey on getting your things ready for the hospital bag, and poor DH getting scares but you could be one of the first here to go

tee at my ante-natal class last week the midwife basically told us that we will be too busy with newborn that they will just put the injection into us...great to have a choice eh?

naat so jealous of your neat bump wish mine looked like that, but dont listen to what people say you dont look too small

effie if you are sure about sterlisation when your having your section then go for it, looks like you have been thinking hard about this decision x

littlesarah congrats on your ebay purchase and at least you did some research

mrsmcjjnr I forgot you mentioned before that you were consultant led in Scotland and that everything was ok, thanks for reminding me that even if you are consultant led everything will be ok

erm so jealous of your greenhouse, wish I had a greenhouse my garden is a disaster I have been desp for DH to cut the grass but we have been having weeks of rain and the 1 day DH could cut the grass (today) it has been sunny but the grass is so wet there is no chance it would cut right

looouise sounds like you have lovely friends and the idea of the house is something to seriously consider glad you have a good circle of friends in RL x

choccie I am with you on feeling like Mr Greedy how are you feeling now hope your 'friends' are gone x

lol Louise at the pink maternity dress
Sounds like you have some great friends around you. I agree with the others though about the option to move into a shared house with a friend. Do really think about all the pros and cons before you jump in. It may be easier to make the decision once you have settled back in London with your baby and see how you are feeling about everything then?

laura - Yes my "friends" have all gone I feel so much better and have a little bit more energy as well. Just as well as DH has been on a jolly all weekend with about 20 pals and I have been home alone with 2 DS's. The boys have been brilliant though and I somehow seemed to feel more relaxed without DH around . It must have been the lack of snoring at night .

Glad you had a lovely meal out last night. Thats something DH and I need to organise (maybe this weekend coming). Thanks for reminding me.

blueberry - is there any way you can change doctors? Sounds like you are not happy at all.

Doris hows the bag packing going I have just re-packed mine after discovering a few days ago that DH had tipped everything out onto the floor of the spare room so he could use my bag for a business trip. I was not best pleased and feel rather protective of my organised compartments containing breast pads, tea tree oil, maternity pants etc.

Littlesarah - did you get the painting finished? Sounds like you had a long day. Hope you are home and getting the feet up now.

Hi Naat. How are the BH's? I have not had many over the last couple of days but I was having loads last week.

Strange - all the talk of the 3rd stage of labour...I simply don't remember much about it at all. I actually do not know if I had the injection or not. All I can remember is that with DS1 the OB delivered it rather quickly and with ease and I asked for a little look. I was quite stunned by the sight of it. Not very pretty I can tell you.
With DS2 I just remember again having it delivered quickly and easily but I think they could have injected me with anything and I would not have noticed.

Had a lovely day here. Nice and warm. Spent the afternoon at a very good friends house. She has 3 DD's and a lovely big garden so the boys were in their element. I really cherish days like this. it's so lovely watching all the kids playing nicely together and being out in the fresh air....

My DH is being a selfish pig sometimes when pg it?s hard to work out whether or not you are being unreasonable or not but I really think he is being extremely self centered. He just seems to have no understanding that I am getting more tired as time goes on. He gives me no help around the house and thinks nothing of coming home 45mins late from work. He reluctantly let me sleep in this morning when I was too tired to move. He continues to drink heavily and doesn?t seem to understand that the arrival of this baby is imminent and that I need to know he has my back and he cannot do that when he?s had a lot to drink. He doesn?t appreciate that I need my sleep. He hasn?t done any preparation for this baby, not read a thing, hardly felt her kick or spoken to her and (icing on the cake) he went out at 2pm today to watch the Man U game on TV, then was off to watch Malaga play at home. I was at my Mum?s. Normally he is back to help me put DS to bed but when I got back at 8.30pm, he was still out, in a local bar. He called me at 8.40pm to ask if I wanted a Chinese take away (I cooked him a full meal before he went out) and told me he?d be back soon. Nearly 2 hours later and there is no sign of him now tell me ladies, is he not a selfish pig???? Plus money is really tight right now so how come he feels he can drink for all these hours and treat himself to food out???

My greenhouse was a surprise 40th bd present from DH and I LOVE it but have never made it really productive and won't have time this suummer. One day though... anyway, got it all done and planted out all the pots with pansies and lobelia and lavender so nothing that needs much care!

effie Have you looked at how much hormonal change comes about from sterilisation? That would be my main concern aboutt having it done at the same time, seeing how much it might effect my new mum hormones as well as what the implications for the future are. I can see that in practical terms it makes sense.

But like Doris I think the chaps should have their much simpler day surgery at the vets which doesn't affect their hormones at all. We've had to do the pregnancy thing, it's only fair .

blueberry sorry if I should know this, but why do you have no midwives? And I don't get the need for internals unless there an infection is suggested. I've never had an internal during any pregnancy except for MW checking dilation in labour. Is there no other doctor or MW care you can opt for? A doula to accompany you? try not to stress and I hope you find some other options soon.

choccie placentas are just wierd aren't they? Like huge slabs of liver or something. Can't say the sight of mine ever sent me rushing to make pate out of it .

yes mrsmcj, he's being a selfish pig. And acting like a man with no children, not with 1 and 1 on the way. I hope you knock some sense into his head!

ernitrude I don't think getting your tubes tied (which is what I think they do when you have a CS and sterilization) does anything to your hormones. You still ovulate, still have a period, but there is no way for the egg to reach the uterus. I could be completely wrong, of course!!

My DH asked me today if going through pregnancy made me appreciate my mum more. I had to honestly say I hadn't thought about it! He asked because today is Mother's Day in the US.

mrsmcjnr your DH certainly seems a selfish pig just now not fair on you esp when you need your rest! Maybe he needs to realise where his priorities lie and how much you need him right now. I hope you are able to talk to your DH about this and tell how much his behaviour is bothering and affecting you.
Take Care xx (((hugs)))

Looouise ? I?d change the wording slightly on the birth plan to say "would prefer to deliver naturally, but will accept injection if deemed necessary by attending Midwife" you won?t know if you need it or not and that is a thing that the MW is best to judge I think but it is important for her to know that you?d prefer not to have the injection. Your friend sounds lovely, what a generous hearted lady (maybe she wants to share your baby too )

Tee ? you should certainly have a choice on the shot, the thing is that at AN classes they tell you what you are and are not allowed based on the hospital?s policy not based on your actual rights. Have a look at the AIMS website on this topic. Syntometerine (or similar) is certainly not for everyone!

Ermintrude AKA Greenfingers ? exactly the same happened to me re the rags, mine were the membranes rather than the placenta itself but luckily I ?passed? them when I was still in hospital. It felt incredibly weird!

Naat ? you look fab, you should be modeling mat clothes I am enormous!

Effielou ? big decision hon on the sterlisation, you need to weigh it all up and trust your gut feeling but if it is something you think you want to do I?d agree that its better to get it done at the same time and avoid more surgery.

Doris ? goodness me! how are you feeling now?

Blueberry ? poor you, I can feel your worry and fear and understand to a large degree. If you don?t like your dr, can you find another? You need to trust this person if he is going to play such a big role in the birth of your baby and all the stress you are feeling will do nothing to help you have a relaxed, natural birth. Personally, I plan to deal with things as far as I can at home, if you turn up well progressed there will not be time to intervene too much. That said I was lucky last time and have not had a CS so I do understand that my circumstances are different. I have even considered an impromptu birth at home so high is my anxiety this time. I am pretty sure that that swab will have been for Strep B. Want us to help with your birth plan? What are your biggest fears? Maybe we can help you find a way around them chin up you

Lauraloo ? you?ll be fine

Choccie ? yeah! The friends have gone!

Thanks Lauraloo and Tee for your quick messages of support ? MIL arrives on Weds, she?ll sort him out for me! still not home 10.56 and a school night too?.!

Poor you MrsMcJnr. He does seem to be sticking his head in the sand...sounds like some major avoidance tactics to me. Could he be freaking out about the baby? Worried about providing for his soon to be extended family? Not that this helps you though. Run yourself a lovely bath/listen to some music/phone a friend...do whatever strategies you have for relaxation. I don't think you are being unreasonable. Sadly, I also don't think there's a single man on earth who genuinely understands the HUGE emotional maelstrom of pregnancy, but your partner should at least try. Sorry you're feeling like this.

Effie, I wonder if you would find it helpful to mull over the possibility of sterilisation with a trained counsellor? Would your GP clinic or hospital provide this? Or Marie Stopes or somewhere like that? It sounds like a decision that may be easier with a bit of impartial guidance.

Thanks for your thoughts on the potential flatmate situ, ladies. I'm encouraged by your comments that you enjoyed living in your own flat, LittleS. I guess I just can't predict how I'll feel.

I have packed my hospital bag! Bizarrely, the item I'm most obsessed with is...an eye mask!! I'm such a diva I can't sleep without one, let alone under hateful hospital lighting! My dad has also promised to bring chilled champagne, despite mum telling me I'll feel like nothing but a cup of tea. Let's just see about that.

daisy at having to attend twice a month, we go to church ?regularly?, I sit on the church council and ds?s will be going to local CoE school, we manage maybe once a month at the moment I?m knackered and the service time clashes with ds2?s nap so maybe less than that, I find it annoying that attendance is a measure of your ?faith? ? I really hope your vicar understands that too

Breastfeeding ? I just wanted to reassure some of the first time mums out there that it can be ok, I really feel for everyone that had such trials with getting bfeeding established/crap MW/no support etc etc but it really can sometime work out alright, I?ve been incredibly incredibly lucky both times to exclusively bfeed ds?s to 7months, I was trying to think about why it worked for me, my mum and dh were very very supportive, I left hosp 6 hrs after having ds1 and ds2 was a HB so I was able to get naked at home and not feel self conscious or have anyone I didn?t want there interfering (whilst I was in hosp for the 6 hrs they kept saying call us if you want to feed and we?ll help but really I didn?t want them too, it was all too much inconsistent information)
I also have to say it DOES hurt at times (sore nips to start with, I had thrush too and horrible ?after pains? for the first day as my uterus contracted every time I fed), I worried about whether he had enough food and was very self conscious to start with
Also I had PND with ds1 ? I didn?t ?bond? with him in the way I thought bfeeding would help me too, too much bloody propaganda about that one! I don?t think anyone should ever feel guilty about FF, it should be about whats best for your family as a whole, not just mum and not just baby

bunny yes we found both ds?s very noisy sleepers (must take after their dad who is still snoring!) they we?re in their own room by 8 wks ? not advised but we all slept better

looouise I had injection with both ds?s, I?ve found it hard to find reasons why not to, with ds1 I was pushing for 2.5hrs so to be honest I just wanted the placenta delivered so I could ?relax? with ds2 I asked if they would wait till the cord had stopped pulsating but they gave me injection, not sure why but not really thought about it

mrsmcj sounds like he is being selfish, do you think its like loouise says that he could be just having his last bit of ?freedom? before baby arrives and freaking out a bit? Hope he gets his act together soon ? thank you for the book btw, it arrived on Friday and I?ve been flicking through for advice (can?t find a book about coping with 3!)

Hello to everyone else and sorry if I?ve misread or missed any of your conversations! Had a pretty quite weekend here, been to my mum and dads today for a BBQ and the boys have eaten far too much chocolate, was very at little boy my ds2?s age munching away on beetroot and cucumber ? neither of mine will eat much fruit and veg, trying to work out what I did wrong?
Heading into my last week of work

MrsMcjnr - @ yr dh. He is acting like a selfish pig.

DH is pretty good and handy but still tells me how tired he is at weekends. I'm the one getting up with dd at 6.30am after tossing and turning all night! I went back to bed at 10.30am today when she did and we both slept for 2 hours. Dh said later he forgets I'm in the latter stages of pregnancy because I look so vibrant and well and seem to be able to cope brilliantly. Methinks he's was flattering his way out of that one!

Have had a lovely day out with dd at a local farm park, she was such a little ray of sunshine - cannot believe tht we'll have two of them soon. exciting

When should the bag be packed by? Remember me having it done ages in advance last time but still haven't sorted anything yet. 35 weeks now

HB plans - what did you do with yr existing dcs when labouring at home? Sorry can't remember who's done it.

Hi All.

Well awake-again!!! heartburn/nausea!! Must be when LO will wake for a feed but wish I was asleep!!

Well I had an embarrassing afternoon/ evening!! After DD and DH got back from the concert- I told DH that all day I felt very very damp "down below" I'd had it in the morning and checked and it didn't seem like discharge and didn't smell of wee ( DH said it smelt of swimming pools!!! ) So after reading and re-reading on various sites- I decided to be brave and call Delivery ( also had scar tenderness). DH said don't cry ( I can be an emotional muppet) so- midwife answers I cry!!! Told to go up and get checked dragged kids along for the trip waited about 2 hours- to be told it was very heavy discharge How silly did I feel!!!!!! But they were very nice and said better safe than sorry-- roll on fri- when see the consultant!! We are not telling anyone the date- but will tell you lot.

MrsMcJnr I think he is very selfish!!! You need support and re-assurance from him!! Perhaps he is feeling overwhelmed at the pending birth- but it doesn't excuse his inconsideration!! I hope that makes sense-- sorry if it doesn't!! Perhaps try asking him if hes worried!!!!

laura Fab choice of baby name-- its my DS name too.

My brains now not working and milk hasn't helped!!! Boohoo-- off to play some rubbish games on facebook.

Love to you all xxx

Good morning ladies!

Well, had a lovely wake up at about 12:45 when my mouth filled with acid! I think baby rolled over onto my stomach! Less than pleasant. Luckily I fell right back to sleep, after a quick wee and some Gaviscon.

MrsMcJ I am not that bothered one way or another about the shot. I am totally not wrapped up in the 'all natural' child birth thing. All I care about is this baby out of me healthy. I am probably going to wind up with a CS at 38 weeks anyway.

4 more days of work!!

Morning Juners!

tee yay!!! freedom in 4 days!!!

effie don't worry! That's what they're for! Hope you could sleep after that time up, poor you

Silk your day in the farm sounds lovely! Here it was awfully cloudy but today it seems like it's going to be better.

Insy thanks for sharing your BF experience. I'm so glad you could BF both times without major issues Fingers crossed for LO to do the same For veggies, maybe you could try ermin's veg mix? Looks like it's very good at "hiding" them and tastes yum Yay on your last week!!!!

Loouise LOL at the eye mask! and at your dad wanting to take some champagne

MrsMC Oh, honey, no, you're not being unreasonable at all... Of course you need him to be supportive and be there for you, esp. now that we're getting closer. Moving/walking/breathing is harder for us these days, and he should be able to see that and help...
I think you should talk to him and make him see how you feel, esp. because men tend to "not notice" things (or at least they say they need to be told to notice ) so don't leave it to him to realise. If you talk to him and ask him for his help and support he won't have any "excuse" to say "oh, but you look so energetic and ok (like what happened to Silk) that I didn't realise you were struggling". Keep us posted and vent away here if you need to (((hug)))

ermin I'm with you (for the future) on DHs being the ones to go to the vet

choccie glad you had such a lovely day with the DC. I'm sure you enjoyed those snoring free nights BHs did not leave me alone yesterday and I'm having serious trouble sitting down... I have to be either super straight or bent forward (reaaaaaaaaaally comfy )

laura great idea the night out with DH, I must organise one as well before chaos ensues

blue so sorry to hear you're not feeling well re. your doctor. I imagine the difference in care must be hard to deal with. I really don't understand how he seems to say A and when you say "no" he says "OK" He should at least give you reasons before just nodding along! Is there anything you can do about him? Hope you can find a solution, hon.

Phew, that was long... I hope I'm not forgetting anyone

The Health V is coming at 9.30 today (I'm a little nervous to be honest). Then today is the start of my "commentary" week (I gave myself until Friday to finish the bloody thing ) so I'll do that during the day and then this evening we have a tour at the Halifax birth centre (in case the Huddersfield one is full on D-day).

Oh, my mum called me yesterday to wish me a happy mum's day (in Ecuador it was yesterday as well Tee), which was sweet of her. She also wants to come some days early to help us move, which was also sweet. I must try and embrace this, I guess, and not be cynical about it

Have a lovely day, Juners!!!

(((waves)))

Morning tee, hope things have improved in your mouth region!

Effie - I can see why you were embarrassed but as they said, better to be safe! I can't remember what you said about your last labours, but you have more reason to be worried than most about going into labour early...?

Silk - My dd will go to my mum's when I have home birth (unless she happens to be at her dad's). Also, if it happens overnight I will try and leave her asleep and only call my mum in if she wakes up. I know some kids stay for the whole thing and it works well but dd is 5 and I worry about her wanting attention... although sometimes I think a couple of DVDs would work fine!

Choccie - Well dh wouldn't let me help with painting in the end but he did appreciate the company and got pretty much all of if done.

MrsMcJnr - at your dh. I had a mini tiff with dh last night. Ended up being mainly crossed wires but did feel rather irrationally upset by it. I do worry about how things will be between us when little one arrives.

But in your case dh should definitely be sorry!

Laura - Glad you had such a lovely evening!

Ermin - A greenhouse too , lucky, lucky lady!

MrsMc I hope you had Words with your DH and that voices weren't raised too much. Sometimes OHs do seem to need stuff pointed out to them to ensure they pull their weight, especially with looking after DC. Hopefully it's a late 'blip' as the reality of his new Father To Two situation hits home. Sounds like MIL will be onside though .

Looouise if I were a betting woman I'd put my money on your fancying a cup of tea rather than a glass of fizz right after the birth. But you might like a little sip. And the next day you'll probably want a glass or two. Nice of your dad to think of it, it's good for everyone to wet the baby's head.

Effie I've had the 'swimming pool' stuff more than once . I'm actually quite pleased you've mentioned it. I was sure it wasn't anything serious but knew it wasn't something yukky like thrush, and that it certainly wasn't wee. I have to wear a pantyliner every day and never did normally.

Naat hope you get on with your commentary well, and that your HV and birth centre visits are fun

morning just a quick post before heading to shops...not that i have money to spend pay day isn't till wednesday

effie i noticed your DS was called Flynn, Flynn is my surname and what a lovely name it is

mrsmcjnr I hope your DH arrived home eventually last night hopefully when your MIL arrives she will sort him out for you

tee congrats on only 4 more days of work

Big hellos to everyone else will be back on later for a proper catch up

Morning All-- well still feels like the middle of the night!!!
I am soooo grateful for this site and meeting-well virtually meeting--- such lovely ladies!! I feel less silly about trips to the hossie, and knowing I'm not the only one!
Tee- you have made sense with the acid thing in the mouth- thats what keeps happening to me so must invest in gaviscon can you take the chewy tablet things-- or is it just the pink liquid????

I managed school run and luckily DS doesn't have pre-school today- so charging the DS, if I need some peace!!

Baby s very active today whic is stirring up the acid nice!!

Baby is no longer engaged- but feeling pressure again-- so I think its pretending to be a yoyo!!

I'm really looking forward to Fri and seeing the consultant!! Then it should only be 2 weeks til d-day!! After yest I have an emergency bag ready- with smaller babygros and essentials and my book I've been saving for the hospital- not that you get much time for reading!!!

I have a few days that baby just CAN'T come now!!!! hehehe- too soon, 23rd May- DD and neices b'day, 25th May BIL 40th b'day- only time I'm venturing more than 30mins from hosp but bags and notes will be in the car! 30th May having my hair done roots are bigger than I'd like them to be!! So after the 30th would be good-- but LO will come when its ready.

So- enough of my dribble- I hope you all have a lovely sunny day-- DH/OHs behave, DC are letting you mums have a peaceful day and LOs don't bounce on your bladders too much!!

Chat later xxxxxxxxxx
