My last day in tri 2!! Well little man is more than making up for not moving yesterday,getting nicked left right and centre! My clients think it's hysterical when im mid conversation and I jump from the force! Only 6 hours left of a 10 hour shift!! How's everyone today?xx

 

[Jojo84]

Happy tri3 day... See you there in Tuesday

Me and hubby decided to go into town today only to realise that it's bloody match day! It's going to be packed. Not eh upside our son is loving the train lol he waves hello and goodbye to every stop lol

 

[jenni16]

Aaaah tri 3 for some of you already, where has the time gone?!
Fab cakes too girls I'm pretty good at making cakes, but rubbish at decorating so I wimped out of doing Oscars first birthday cake. Luckily I happen to know someone who is amazing at cakes so she did it for me instead xxx

 

[Tigger87]

I'm so jealous of all those cakes! I have grand designs on cake making, rarely works though! Think I'll just buy jakes 3rd birthday one and maybe claim credit

Congrats on tri 3 bobkat! I can't believe how close its getting now with so many may mummies moving over! Another 2.5 weeks for me.

Won't hear for at least a week on the blood test. This is how my arm now looks:



Me and my toddler have made fridge cake this morning followed by some loaded jacket skins for lunch, can't wait to tuck in! He absolutely loves a bit of cooking! He did try to chop off the tip of his finger by slamming a massive knife down on it though luckily he's not as strong as he thinks!!!!

 

[jenni16]

Ouch!! That looks painful!

I'd definitely be tempted to buy it and claim credit, especially if he wants one that's really tricky to make lol.

I haven't even attempted to do any cooking with Oscar yet, I can just imagine it ending in disaster! I'm sure he'd love it tho so should probably give it a try soon, before baby arrives and we have no time at all. Xxx

 

[babyslog]

Oh god ur arm!!!!


For Noahs 1st I got the Noahs Ark cake from M&S. It was gorgeous! I didnt want to cut it up haha!

I love baking! Not baked at all this pregnancy, gone off cake so the thiugh of baking makes me gag atm!!! X

 

[bobkat]

Ouch Tigger that looks painful, do you normally react like that to blood tests or were they just really brutal this time?

 

[andreatav]

Gosh tigger that looks sore! I have a relatively small bruise from my gtt. Got the results through today all normal no further care needed! Xx

 

[Tigger87]

I usually bruise pretty badly if they don't get it right. I once had a cannula in my hand/wrist and my entire hand ended up a dirty yellow/brown bruise! Forgot I'd be having 2 more with GTT. I know they say you can drink water with that - can you drink a lot? I'm a bit worried now with my crappy veins if I can't drink a pint or so of water, it'll just end up a total disaster the health care assistant that did it, did suggest just punching me in the face to get the blood... Bit unusual!!

 

[andreatav]

I wasn't told how much water I could or couldn't drink before hand just said that was all. Had blood taken, then given the sugary drink, could drink a bit of water then 2 hours later bloods again then could eat & drink ad normal...oh did I make up for it!!! 15 hours with no food and I had a HUGE sausage & egg sandwich and a HUGE muffin filled with choc chips and lots of squirty cream! Was full for rest of day!xx

 

[Jojo84]

I didn't get a bruise at all from
My GTT. I had one on each hand because
My arm
Skin is dark and scarred so hard to see.

I didn't receive my result from GTT but it was Tuesday and they said 48hrs with a no news is good news policy so I figure I'm clear.

 

[sarahlouise86]

Anyone else still here?lol xx

 

[andreatav]

I keep popping in altho officially in tri 3 now! Xx

 

[jenni16]

I'm still here another 10 days until I'm over in tri 3. Kind of want to stay here tho, tri 3 seems so scary and so close to meeting our babies, there's still far too much for me to do before she arrives! Xx

 

[andreatav]

Oh see I'm so relieved to finally be over in tri 3, I feel organised I've got more or less everything for baby, pram,car seat,clothes and crib, doesn't need much else really. Got bottles incase I can't bf, nappies,wipe. All a baby really wants is love and I've got bundles of that!xx

 

[jenni16]

I'll be glad to be over there, but it just seems so scary at the minute! We've got everything we need left over from Oscar really, there's just loads to do in the house. Soooo much crap to get rid of to make space for her. I desperately want to move, we found a house which was ideal and we were seriously looking to buy, then the next day, work screwed me over and cut all my hours so that plan was ruined I've since found an even better house, which we may be able to afford but with not knowing where I'll be working/what I'll be earning (I'm adamant I'm not going back to the same job - even if they do stay open as they're threatening closure) it's just too much of a risk to take at the minute.
I think part of me just wants to pause or rewind and sort all the financial stuff out before she gets here :-/ xxx

 

[Jojo84]

In here until tomorrow.

I did a 12 HR nightshift last night, went home. Cried my way through last night call the midwife, cuddled my little boy and now I'm waiting to see the doctor... I'm so bloody tired and my chest hurts!! Hope it's not another chest infection.

I'm so up in the air at the minute with not knowing where we will be living when baby come, the house were in now or somewhere else. All I really need is another buggy and I'm set for baby basically

 

[andreatav]

Try not to worry yourself too much about housing situation! Easier said than done I know, my landlord has put the house up for sale that we live in so hoping that if someone buys it they want tenants otherwise we'll be homeless!xx

 

[Tigger87]

Financial worries are the worst. Hate it. You'll get by though, you just have to, don't you?

God Jojo call the midwife destroyed me last night. As soon as I realised what they were doing I just lost it, couldn't stop sobbing!!!

I'm over here for another 2 weeks 25 weeks tomorrow!! Xx

 

[jenni16]

Oh god, I was looking forward to catching up on call the midwife, best get the tissues and chocolate ready by the sounds of it?!

I just showed my Nan the house we've seen. She loved it and kept saying 'go for it, just do it!' I said we could maybe afford the monthly repayments, but haven't got anything left in savings to pay the fees for solicitors, estate agent, stamp duty etc. She just kept saying 'just go for it.' I think that's her way of saying she may help us out with that side of it which would be totally amazing! But I don't want to get too excited just yet. Plus the thought of selling our house terrifies me! Xxx
