***August 2016 Mummies***

Ooo I'm off to IKEA on Tuesday, mainly looking for a wardrobe but will have a mooch. I'm currently sat in the walk in centre and the pharmacy won't give me a thrush pessary and I'm now so uncomfortable I can hardly sit down. I've never had thrush this bad! X
 
Sorry your in so much discomfort FP. Why wouldn't they give you the pessary? Hope you get it sorted x
 
Thanks, The pharmacy won't give it to you if you're pregnant you have to see a GP. Got one from the walk in and I'm feeling some relief already this morning. Off pram shopping now- yay! X
 
Ah right. Glad you got it in the end! Enjoy pram shopping xx
 
Glad you are feeling better and enjoy pram shopping! So exciting! Do you know what type you are going for? I don't know what's popular in the UK at the minute, but one of the more popular ones over here is Emmaljunga, so I got myself a second hand one just last night
Really chuffed with it! It's a combi one so comes with a sitting peice you can swap out for toddlers. Even second hand it was quite expensive but as it's for toddlers too it will last a while at least!
 
Ooh, enjoy the pram shopping FP! IKEA is a dangerous place to go to, you'll always find something nice! :-)
 
Got our 20 week scan today. They confirmed we're having a girl and turns out I have a partly anterior placenta and partly at the side. Which is strange as OH already feels her kicks, but it explains why we mostly feel her at one side of my tummy. I just thought she liked that side better lol, but it'll be I can't feel her easily at the other side :-) also got a prescription for physio in case back pain gets worse.
 
I love IKEA. My sons room is all IKEA, and thinking about it, so is mine. I have one 5 minutes away so I'm in there quite a bit.
 
Glad the scan went well Flo.

I've only been to Ikea once and that was about 12 years ago! Our nearest one is a good 2-3 hours away. That's one of the downsides of living down in Devon, there's not much around and if there is its always a journey away.

Anyone else extra hormonal lately? I cried this morning because I spilt some cereal and yesterday I completely lost my temper with OH because he sent me the same text twice by mistake! I feel like I can go from laughing to crying or being really angry in a matter of seconds. Xx
 
I am slightly lol. I went mad at OH yesterday because he'd moved my wax candle pot things and put them in the drawer next to the one they were in lol. Also I went mad at a silly old woman on a car park :-/ then I was fine lol


 
How's we all doing?

I'm back at work but I'm struggling, baby boy is kicking away a lot which I'm still not used too! Got my rescan Friday so be nice to see him again, I can't wait until August!
 
Sunday evening I started crying and couldn't stop for 2 hours. So yes, i'm quite hormonal... I pity my partner :-)
 
I got very mad at hubby for staying out later so the chippy was closed! I wanted chippy chips! I thought hormones were better second tri, mine are worse!
 
Flo congratulations on team pink :pink: that is sooo exciting :D

Yes I'm an emotional mess too... My dad came round the other day and brought childhood photos of me and my brother and us as a family ... I blubbered like a baby! My parents divorced about 5 years ago so it was such a waste of a marriage, and I just couldn't stop myself crying about them splitting up and it's never bothered me before lol! Adam just backed away slowly because I was really sobbing hsha.

I'm also nesting like mad ... Anyone else just desparate to organise and clean?! I've done my tax return for my business today, made an appointment to see the clergy at the church we want to get married at, requested a wedding pack from a reception venue I would like, went and got a repeat prescription, went to work, did Sofia swimming lesson, she had a party after that, did a tonne of washing, sorted through post and put away a tonne of clothes and I'm itching to hoover but I can't at 10.30pm!! Ahh! I did this in my last pregnancy everything was spotless all the time haha! I also have a major urge to go clean my car but I must stop myself at this hour :rofl:

I'm going mad I swear!
 
Mine seem to be worse too Nicki, they calmed down for a few weeks at the beginning of tri 2 but the last week or so I feel so emotionally unstable! I seem to get cross with my OH over the smallest of things, he never knows how I'm gonna react to what he says! Then I have days where I feel teary and question whether I'm a good enough mum to Harper. I wonder if she's getting enough attention/stimulation etc. Which is so unreasonable as were out everyday to play groups or park or beach. And when were home were always busy doing some sort of activity. I've never had these thoughts before and never questioned my parenting so why I'm getting so worked up is weird. Also almost burst into tears the other day at a kids birthday party as Harper didn't wanna play and I felt sad that maybe she was sad and that's the reason she wasn't playing, even tho she was happy sat eating party food! Wish I felt normal for a day tbh haha.

That's good you get to see your baby again on Friday. Extra scans are always a bonus! Sorry to hear your struggling at work, do you have any annual leave booked coming up? I hated working in my first pregnancy, found it so hard and tiring. Now I'm a SAHM so luckily don't have work to worry about x
 
I've been decluttering the house for the past month or so, one room at a time. Must of given about 8 black bags to charity so far! I loved nesting last time but it didn't happen until much later as I moved house at 36 weeks so couldn't do much until then. This time tho ill have 2-3 days where I go on a mad one in the house and then leave it for a few days until I get the urge again lol. There's still loads I want to do and also want to rearrange our bedroom to make room for the crib etc but can't do that on my own so finding a time when OH is off and Harper isn't running riot in the house is proving hard :lol: X
 
I'm crying a lot too, and even more so just on the verge of tears almost 24/7. This morning out to breakfast they were playing music my husband likes. He was working and I started missing him terribly and crying in the restaurant. He was just at work! And I feel like I can barely talk about anything without getting choked up. Even just talking about what the kids ate for breakfast or something totally benign. I tear up constantly.

I rearranged and deep cleaned our bedroom today and brought in the cosleeper. I'm getting so excited!
 
Congrats on the scan and team pink Flo!

I've bought my pram- went with the Mothercare Roam in aubergine very happy with it. I'm also nesting and organising like crazy, got DH moving all sorts of furniture around whilst he's off work lol! X
 
I'm definitely nesting and want husband to sort everything regarding painting and decorating right now! Haha. He is travelling this weekend and busy all the weekend after so I'm just going to have to be patient until he starts the nursery in May.

A couple of nights ago he told me to stop spending money for a few weeks as I've been busy buying so much baby stuff, to which I bawled my eyes out, complete breakdown! So I don't think he dares tell me no again. Haha!
 
Haha oh gosh we are all emotional!! Clean houses and emotional lol.

I have just realised I only have a few weeks til tri 3! I can't believe tri 2 just disappeared.

I can't wait til tomorrow - officially VIABILITY OUTSIDE THE WOMB DAY! I always class it as an important milestone :D xx
