Morning! Cant sleep so am attempting a 'quick' post!
Neeko mainly cos wanted to let you know something, but just read about your friends mum, I am sorry.. I just wanted to tell you that Boots has a half price deal on Tommee Tippee closer to nature breast to bottle breast pumps and bottles! I got the steriliser kit in that range at Sainsburys last week as a 1/3 off, but yesterday picked up some bottles at Boots & now DH is getting me the electric breast pump today after he finishes work, its from 80 to 40! (my pound sign doesnt work!) Thought, must tell Neeko! Barbie lovely to see you back sweetie! Congratulations again to you & Mrbarbie! Devon is absoluetly stunning and I love both her names! Sorry to hear about the headaches, Ive also heard thats a side effect of epidural.. Hope they subside soon.. Whens your mum & dad coming? Must be soon? Im looking forward to your birth story! The more info the better as far as Im concerned! Also, bless you for thinking of me when you are on your baby moon! You're very sweet! x
Gracie Isabelle is another gorgeous girl! You must be so proud! I dont think I congratulated you on your fabulous birth, I want one like that! Also glad to see you still managing to post & keep us all updated! Im finding all the advice flying round on here invaluable though Im getting a bit confused too!
MLS are you still beaming my lovely? I lookedd at your profile too and bless your bean in every sense of the word!
Blue sorry to hear about your friend too.. Its so tragic when they are taken so long, specially that bloody disease cancer, my poor bro was only 40, he should of been 53 on March 10th week after my birthday.. Hope the memorial went ok...
In fact hope both Blue and our lovely *Vjay arent being too affected by that awful weather up there in not so bonny Scotland? Im also a facebook cowad, dont like teh idea of old faces that I want to say in my past stalking me tracking me down! Had friends where exes put friend requests in and just feel uncomfortable with whole thing! MN is my one guilty pleasure! DH and I enjoy our bubble when at home together too much, so dont want to be tied to the net!
Moon awww hon just crap AF came, I was really hopeful for you too... I understand teh need to step away, I know all the baby talk must be a bit much, I felt exactly the same, after my 4th MC last Jan, it took 8 months just like Curly, to fall with this blessed miracle and each month I got a BFM got harder... Take solice with your lovely DF
Jools nice to see you pop your head round the door and ditto all of the above.. I so want your time to be soon.. Have you thought of acup? How about a nice loooong hol with DP? You work so hard..
Calling Mermaid...... Missing you lots sweetie, hope some RL respite is doing you good and you are not weebling away under a shell somewhere? If you are, plese dont weeble alone & come and offload? x
BQ sorry in my self pitying state the other day I missed your post! Good to hear you are up and at 'em! Pole dancing sounds like fun! My ex bf actually did it (one of many reasons she is now ex bf, had severe personality transplant since we first met at 9!) it is great for muscle toneage tho, and a nice non sleazy class where you keep your clothes on would be great fun! Will do wonders for that pelvis floor!
Iggy yay for flutterings! Its amazing isnt it?! You do notice a pattern.. Our LO was super active acrobactic for a few days, then she has a coupld of days intense rest! Did panic me at first but so long as I feel something! Doesnt have to a gymnast every day! However whenever I splurge on baby stuff as we did yesterday (see below! ) I need to feel her as much as poss & panic when I dont that I shouldnt of brought so much! Oh the paranoia goes on!
Hey Cupcake lovely, sorry contact has been lapse of late! Blummin work You must be entering 3rd trimester now?!? Hope you are doing OK? Fingers crossed that the househunt is succesful on Monday! I have also been splurging on baby stuff! After my massive oh woe me ness i did retail therapy yesterday and got some adorable piglet bootees and babygros, and oh so cute 'daddys girl' & 'mummys flower' tee shirts at mothercare, as well as muslin squares (always think of Barbies muslim squares ) then 6 babygros & mitts at sainsburys 25% off sale, as well as said bottles! Then we went to mamas and papas, initially just to use loo, but saw our pram system in a different design, not the black & white polka dot but grey larger polka dots for 200 cheaper! It does look bit more modern than the other, so think may go for it, also after MIL initially said she would pay for it, she ended up giving us less than half the cost in the end as BIL and his GF having baby at same time means she now has too buy 2 of everything! Think we will go for it, 200 could go on so much else, with MIL 300 and the HIP grant 190 thats it paid for! Have to be sensible about it!
Sooo much for quick post! Really should be sleeping still, was wake before DH alarm went off mind racing.. Did teh same on thurs night after feeling incredibly sorry for myself and absolutely awful - I def have SPD my left side of pubic bone is very painful whenever I move, my ribs ache, my back aches, my ankes are swollen and my thrush is roaring, this is all due to working as my body has been used to the R & R Ive (been lucky to have) throughout this pregnancy. My main self pity o thurs was fear that Im undoing the hard work of early months by putting so much pressure on my body, as well as the mental pressure of facing redundancy & leaving my great job, & juggling work & money worries.. I woke at 2am on thurs night and couldnt get back to sleep til 7am, so took friday off work and had a bit of a lie in, then had our retail therapy session! One of the many things I was worrying about was getting everything we need for the baby while Im still earning! Hence the splurge!
Anyway, am gonna go back to bed & try and doze til DH back at midday, then a lazy weekend for us, will only work mon and half days weds & fri so that should help this crippling SPD, cant walk, turn in bed, climb stairs, get dressed.. Hope to feel better for birthday on thurs, feel more like 55 not 35!
Love to all x x x x x
