Good luck with the viewing mrsm! Hope u have a lovely baby shower!

Kaffee- I would think its just bubs changing position as long as u aren't leaking waters or anything! Does it feel like he's lower? Xxx

 

[Sprk]

Finally had a decent nights sleep! (Well, mostly). Still get really uncomfortable whenever I stand, but will be out shopping today anyways lol. Need to walk around a bit more, I think. Yesterday's pains subsided towards the evening, just in time for lo to wake up and dance a jig for an hour or two lol. I feel so much more pressure down low when I stand, so I think she has been dropping. But I still have a hard time getting a full breath.....caused by bh maybe? I've noticed when I lay on my back, my belly button has gone from an 'innie' to an 'outie'! Did a happy dance yesterday when sil finally took her chest of drawers out of our nursery space (now we can get things set up )
Kaffee- sounds like somebody has been doing summersaults A few ekes ago, mine would go up and down all the time - drove me nuts!
Mum2b- how are you doing today?
Mrs- good luck today, hope everything goes well
Hope everyone is doing well and this message isn't too long to post lol

 

[Kaffee]

Thanks girls. No other symptoms so thinking he's just moved.

Good to hear you're on your way to getting nursery sorted sprk

 

[Sprk]

Lol me too! Dh's friends coming Tuesday while I'm at a shower (at work) to move the furniture around and build the cot.

Just curious - I'm from the states and I think we would call a cot a crib. Which leaves me wondering.....what is the diff between a cot and a cot bed? Is a cot bed a cot that can become a bed for a toddler?

 

[mum2b410]

Sprk- yes. Cotbed is just when u take the bars off the sides and it becomes a little bed!
I'm ok- just tired! No major change in symptoms for me! Just general feel like a big, fat uncomfortable blob! Keep thinking I should do more walking- I want to but its just so hot!!..... Oh and even though I feel bubs is lower I'm still uncomfy at top of bump and getting indigestion :-/

MrsM they nursery is gorgeous. I got over ruled with ours lol OH is a Tottenham Fan and had some Tottenham memorabila that didnt have a home so the nursery is Navy and White with all the Tottenham stuff on the walls. Kinda same as older kids room, they have red and white (for Aberdeen) and all their football shirts and scarfs on the walls.
Been a busy week with Cai, he has neonatal juandice and has been put on 2 hrly feeds to avoid going to hosp for phototherapy. Has to be kept by the window as well. Colour is looking much better and he has been allowed to go to 3 hrly feeds now which is better for me. He still isnt latching well and MW wanted me to stop and concentrate on expressing and recording all his feeds and wet and dirty nappies. He got the all clear to go to 3 hrly feeds and return to trying to latch on fri and so far he has latched twice for bout 5mins but still mostly pumping milk for him. Just waiting for him to wake to try again.
OH gets a bit panicky if he sleep longer then expected and we have to wake him, but all in all I think he is doing great for 3 weeks 4 days early.
Coord thingy fell off last night.
Quite surprised by Taylor (18month old) I thought he was going to be a jealous tootie but he doesnt seem to mind and likes peeking over the moses basket to watch Cai sleeping. Older kids coo over him and say how little and cute he is then back to xbox lol
Hope everyone is doing well x

 

[mum2b410]

Expressing at 37 weeks.......

So I'm considering starting to express from 37 weeks...... Thoughts please? Pros v cons? Any experiences? Horror stories? Positives?

[Kaffee]

OMG watching 'she's having a baby' on living, one lady very spiritual and one buying bling and designer goods, crazy. Might have to turn it over before labour scenes! Anyone ever watched it?

 

[mum2b410]

Not me- we only have free view!!

 

[Mummy bear]

Ye I posted about it a couple of weeks ago when the series started. I quite like it.

 

[wenchytoots]

Only free view here so not seen it either. Shame cause myself and bestie love pregnancy programmes. Saying that, she has sky so will get her to record it She is 16 weeks preggers

Ahhhhh 1st day at home alone with the little ones today...OH went back to work. 2 Older boys are away for the holidays now with their Dad so needing eyes in the back of my head to watch Cai and Taylor....mainly to watch Taylor isnt trying to give Cai toys in the moses basket. Or trying to climb in! lol x

 

[afield1]

Hi everyone how you all doing? Last week of work for me really need to get my bag packed this week. I think I have most bits for it now.

Had our ante natal day yesterday. Was really good. OH learnt a lot.

How many have decided on names for baby yet? We have a list we did a while ago but not really looked at it for a while as we like different names to each other. I think the baby maybe called baby for a few days!! X

 

[harspray]

Hello all!

Hope you're coping in the heat - I'm struggling! Today I've tried booking flights to belfast for a wedding and they want the name of the baby who hasn't been born yet. We've a few names in mind but I'm reluctant to put it on the boiling incase we change our mind or it turns out the baby is a boy as we're going on the basis that its a girl, hmmmm.....waiting for an email from easy jet as can't get through on the phone.

 

[HanSam]

Harspray we had the same issue and was like ooh we have to decide now! Then it also wanted dob - unfortunately im not psychic lol. I couldnt get through on the phone for hours so ended up booking and going to add baby later as will only be on my lap so not like booking another seat. Hopefully won't be a problem! x

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

Heat is getting to me as well as waddling. Fanny daggers are getting worse and the backache is too. Just can't win, hubby keeps telling me if I need to finish early to finish but I want extra time off at the end rather than before. Bump has dropped a bit today too so I'm hoping she doesn't come early :-/
