Hope we're all doing ok

I'm feeling so big now, OH keeps telling me how much bigger I've got every time he comes back from a night away from work haha. Last night he said he thinks I'm already as big (maybe bigger.....) as I was when I had Oscar at 39+1 :-O yet people who don't know me still tell me I'm pretty small...I'll see what I'm measuring with the mw later, I've been spot on so far xxx

Has anybody else had the reality suddenly dawn on them?
I'm laid in the bath and I'm thinking about my dates and that baby is 6 weeks and 2 days off been due but then omg that means he is officially cooked in just over 3 weeks!!

3 WEEKS!!!!


Omg I've got so much I need to sort....plus I've just got my 5 year olds speech therapy appts through and his first one is 4 days before my due date.
I've got it in my head that baby will be born at 39+3, I'm not sure why so will be interesting to see if I'm right-does anyone else have any guesses as to when there's will be born?

I bet mine will be 4th may haha (c section booked)

I've had a hectic day full of sickness - it's getting worse by the day! I took my son to see a nursery and think we're going to put him in 9-3 one day a week - he's never been aqua from
The family so I crud and he cries too lol so his first settling in session is Wednesday. Big step for me... They're suggesting hubby brings him so that he doesnt cry as much when I leave (he does it every time I go out without him) and hubby would drop him off in the mornings when he starts nursery. I want to get him in there properly before baby is here so that he doesn't feel pushed out.

I don't feel ready yet but we don't have much to buy.. Baby will be here in 6weeks and 5 days!

33 weeks today. As you say its all getting close now. Just need painting and carpet in our/baby room, been waiting for a week for painting to start but our friend who's doing it is a gardener by trade and its been dry and sunny, so praying for rain so he can come and finish the job. Wanted it done by Easter hols on 25th but don't think that will happen. Probably a good job as we will prob have to decamp to MIL's overnight when he does it as I cant sleep in a room stinking of fresh paint. So I'm putting off doing stuff until that's finished as I want to be able to put stuff away properly, rather than doing it and then having to move it again at a later date. Need a raincover and footmuff for our pushchair, also got mattresses to sort out for basket and cot, as well as breast pump, bottles, change mat, new monitor, hosp bag. Hoping baby doesn't come too early as don't think will be ready!

Freddie has had 2 bouts of a sickness bug in past 2 weeks, hoping that's it now, I'm actually looking forward to baby vomit instead as a change! Finish work on Thursday, can't wait!

 

[Tigger87]

It feels like I'm so far behind everyone I'm only 30 weeks. I still think, in my head, that I've got AGES left yet! Don't have much to buy though, just need to wash everything at some point. Hopefully wait until I'm off work.

I'm expecting to go over again this time. I realised the other day that if it's more than 7 days, I'll have a June baby. There's something about the fact that would be a whole other month makes me REALLY not want to go so far over!!!

 

[Copterpops]

I was talking to people today at a fayre I was doing, and realised as I was saying out loud our due date is 8 weeks on Monday. That means we have 6-10 weeks before baby is due.

Somehow saying it out loud was enough to make me panic.

 

[kanga86]

Tigger I'm only 30wks too and it does feel like I have ages to go. I'm fully expecting to go into June as my original due date was the 1st June so still have that in my head. Plus both my boys were late xx

 

[Tigger87]

I'm glad I'm not alone kanga but I mentally cannot join the June mummies I went 10 days over with my son, they didn't put me forward much this time and "my" dates are quite similar so I'm really really hoping this ones a bit more on time!!!! Haha!! X

Ha! That was first on my husbands name list as well xx

I don't think I've mentally joined May Mummies in my head date wise, just don't see me with a May baby lol I'm not sure when I want this one to come. Harry was 11 days late and James just 2, so could go either way though.

I have dates I don't want him to come though and that is 31st May (5 days over) my cousins birthday, 7th June (12 days over) anniversary of my mum passing and 8th June (13 days over) my 30th birthday! Any others and I'm happy I think lol xx

 

[Jojo84]

Our photo shoot was cancelled today photographer rang in sick.

Tonight my head is thumping and I've already been. Sick 7 times baby's movements,are really hurting too

 

[Jojo84]

How is everyone doing?

I can't believe this time 6 weeks from now I will be having an early night and preparing new time lave early for hospital the next day! Yikes.

That said I had to go get checked out this morning because I had regular BH contractions and terrible back spasms that paracetamol didn't touch. They thought it may have been early labour but it wasn't thank God. I'm only 0.5 a cm
Dilated as they can tell which is normal. If my BH are still as strong and regular tomorrow I've been told I should go in on Wednesday to have an enervation for babies lungs incase I do go early. All kinda scary but no more back spasms for now and BH calmed down a lot.

 

[jenni16]

Goodness Jojo you've had an eventful few days! Hope things calm down for you so you can get some rest. Xxx
