*****August 2014 Mummies*****

Happy - don't worry about taking maternity leave earlier, I did the same same, left at 29 weeks, holiday till 9th June and then my mat leave starts. It was the right thing for me and bubs as work was so busy and I was commuting into London. I think it would be a real struggle for me to do now to be honest and know it was the right decision :)
 
Helloooo!!
Happy hump day!!
Did something I never usually do, after the school run I actually got back into bed with OH who was fast asleep and fell back to sleep until 1130! lol.
Have decided to spend as much time on my gym ball as I can, to attempt to get this baby to turn. Breech babies and heads in ribs are so not fun!! :)
Who watched the baby programmes on last night?
Quads followed by The Secret Life of Babies, aw! TSL of Babies was so interesting! Loved it! :)

Welcome to Tri3 Purplesocks - many congratulations!! Such a fab feeling isn't it! I'm totally with you on the feeling massive thing. People are so shocked when I tell them I'm not actually due til August!! lol Then I feel even more like an hippo!

Mum2b - Yeh Primark was a godsend!! And thank you, I know I made the best decision for me finishing early! :)

HanSam - Primark do do nighties and vest tops with buttons halfway down for easy feeding - I bought some vest tops as part of pyjama sets - super cheap!!
Sorry to hear you're struggling with your SPD hun - hope you get some relief soon and manage to get some rest!

Donnah - Thank you, like you I know I made the right decision finishing early - I couldn't have coped much longer! Its just normal to worry about money isn't it! But we make it work! :)
 
Nursery bedroom emptied and carpets ripped up in preparation of the wallpaper being stripped off at the weekend and hopefully the lining baby going up. I'm hoping that we might get the feature baby up or the painting done the next weekend. It's the smallest room and the most important for me to get done. Once it's done the adjoining bedroom is to be done and then the carpets can go down. All go go go xx
 
Had another row with hubby over it tho cos he doesn't get that I'm so stressed about nothing being done with it yet and there isn't that long to go. What if she comes early?!
 
Happy hump day to you too :)
Quite right of you jumping back into bed with OH, sounds lush! I've got both programmes recorded to watch in peace over the weekend
I'm the same re baby shower Kaffee, would love one but doesn't feel right organising your own. Fx'd all is good with your bloods :)

You sound v organised in comparison to us MrsM if that makes you feel any better...
Last minute decision yesterday to move house.. I think I'm mad and can't quite believe we even considered it, but one thing lead to another and we decided to bite the bullett. Have put offer in just waiting to hear if it's been accepted. How do you juggle being 28wks pregnant, full time work till 38 weeks, a house move and re decorating... Answers on a postcard please, lol.

Had 28wk appt today, small seems fine but she really struggled to take blood so my arms are black and blue :(
Baby head down but back to back, measuring in normal range though apparently this is not monitored till 32 weeks anyway

Hope you've all had a good day xx
 
Don't worry it will all work out. SIL moved 2 days before her due date and we were decorating for 4 days straight (there room and baby's room) until she had him and then we were decorating upstairs while she was downstairs when she had had him. Took about 8 days to get it sorted for them evenings and weekends. Poor BIL spent all his two weeks off getting it sorted for her so when he went back to work she had a home not a house with boxes xx
 
Oh wow!! I'm impressed haha
Feel a little silly for worrying about it, though I guess when needs must we all find a way don't we xx
 
Hi gang! What am I missing- what's hump day?? Sorry if I'm being thick!

Mrsm- Hubby's don't get our necessity to get things done and organised in advance of baby arriving! OH and I argued loads last time coz our kitchen was being done and he took ages to get the nursery finished!! It was all done well in time though coz Ethan was so late!..... U sound like u r organised and getting there though so try not to stress too much but I soooo get where u r coming from!

Weezy- we keep looking at houses and have been for a while but not found anything right yet! I'm sure u will make it work- it'll b lovely to be in a new home and starting a new life with your baby :-) It is stressful but its exciting too :-)

Happy- Hope u get that baby to turn! My bestie's little girl was breech until about 36 weeks I think and turned and was born fine- so plenty of time :-) I've started watching secret life of babies on iPlayer but not finished yet- v interesting programme!

Well I've not heard from drs today re my iron levels so probably means they r fine! I have felt a bit better today but did have to have a nap this afternoon as couldn't keep my eyes open!..... Mw Friday so will double check on results then!
Have had a few sharpish pains v low down tonight like little man is wiggling his hands about above his head near my cervix- little tinker!!..... Can't believe I'm 32 weeks tomorrow! Its all creeping up on us now- eeek! Xxx

32 weeks seems so close to the end, I'm 28 feels like a while yet.

Got my anti- D injection tomorrow and midwife on zfriday. Midwife tried to get out of giving me a 28 week appointment because I'm at the hospital day before which I thought was wrong, they are two different things in my opinion. The hospital doesn't normal listen to heart beat, take my urine sample or as she should be doing ask how am doing. Plus I'm looking forward to the measuring you've all had of your tummy. Is she right to try not to get me to book in?
 
Morning all. Can't believe you're all thinking about hospital bags already, I must get my act together but been more focussed on getting house sorted. Trying to find a decorator to do our bedroom before bubs comes is proving difficult. Ironic that it's our room that needs sorting not baby's? Might have to make a start on it ourselves soon!

A baby shower sounds a lovely idea. I don't have any close friends or my sister and mum nearby that would throw me one and it feels a bit wrong to throw your own. All friends nearby are wives of my OHs best friends so unlikely to sort one, though we all get on really well.

Didn't get oc blood results through yesterday but hoping no news is good news!

Aww kaffee I'm lucky my mum is wanting to organise it when she lives down South. You can come to mine and have some cake were both in Leeds :-)

Our hospital does do urine, bp and fetal heart checks at appointments- not had bump measured there though coz my 2 consultant led appointments were before 28 weeks!..... I still think u should see midwife though- I've had all my mw appointments regardless of hospital ones! Xx

Mum2b.. Hump day is Wednesday.. The middle of the week, on home stretch to the weekend xx
 
Morning lovelies!!
Back ache has arrived with a vengeance :( Really struggled yesterday! Another good nights sleep tho luckily. Really achey and tired constantly, even the school run is taking it out of me!! Cant remember what it feels like to have energy. Not even 30 weeks yet!! :oooo:
Off for lunch with another pregnant friend today. Loving this lady of leisure malarky - no idea how I would be managing at work right now!!
Have a fab day all

Lianne x
 
Sorry to hear you are suffering with back ache. Its not fun i know that!!! Glad its not affecting your sleep though. I have a hot bath with radox in which helps it settle for a few hours to allow me to drift off!
Enjoy your lunch and the mat leave!

Glad the sun is shining makes me feel better. Still soooo tired though.

Mum2b did you get your iron results? Sorry if i missed it if so x
 
No hun- not heard anything yet so I'm assuming its fine (as last time they rang me within 2 days!)..... Got mw tomorrow so will double check then- thanks for asking xxx
 
Just done my 32 week bump pic- I'm huge :-/ Struggling with how I look right now......none of my clothes seem comfy enough or look right :-/ Was easier last time to live in joggers as it was autumn/winter but now its only gonna get hotter! I look like I'm in a tent with a maxi dress on!! Lol! Xx
 
Hi ladies,
At work so just a quick procrastination break from me :)
Saw your bump pic mum2b.. You look amazing, so perfectly round and very much in proportion. Agreed the summer will be a struggle, but I always think tighter tops and jersey material maxi dresses are best at making you look pregnant as opposed to a tent. I actually have a little bit of bump envy, I'm carrying so low in comparison..
That's rubbish about your back Happy.. Hope you've managed to have a bath with plenty bubbles.

Gah I just have no motivation for work today, really struggling with PGP think this is the first day I've admitted to the fact it's getting worse. However, shall soldier on :)

Xx
 
Thank u Weezy! .....Your bump pics r lovely- I don't think u r carrying any lower then me? Maybe its just the angle of the pics??..... Sorry about your PGP- u have had it ages now :-/ U still thinking mat leave @ 38 weeks? Hope it at least plateaus and doesn't get worse fr here on xx
