Hey Ladies!!

I have my glucose test on friday ... not majorly looking forward to it to be honest lol gonna get a mcdonalds afterwards for sure!

Please all send me positive vibes, I might have a house swap from my 2 bed to a 4 bed house so I need some positivity sent my way to get this woman to agree lol! Shes quibbling because I am in a flat and she wanted a garden but I have a balcony so shes thinking about it... god I hope she decides to go with it! I would love to move and have enough bedrooms!

I am still full of so much energy lol I have walked the dogs twice today! They are in heaven haha, everyone else feeling like they have a tonne of energy?!

 

[fcroxy]

Good luck with the potential house swap lexi, lets hope you get it! Xx

I got my results today for my gtt test which back came normal.

Flexi jisy don't do what I did and go sugar mad. I had that drink, then pick n mix, then ice cream, chocolate & sauce & I felt sooooooo sick. Too much sugar. You'll be fine on a maccyd's! fingers crossed for you that you get your swap. It'll be lovely for you to have a big spacious house! X

 

[Nickinakinoo]

Fingers crossed for your house lexi.

I don't no what's happening with my GTT, I'm not allowed to have it done so supposed to have different blood tests but not heard anything. Washed all baby boys newborn clothes over the weekend so if he comes early I'm somewhat ready! He's getting really active, last night just as I was falling asleep I got a kick down there, cervix maybe, what ever he hit made me jump out of bed like a bullet from a gun!

I confirmed with work today my holiday plans at the beginning of mat leave so I basically finish in 6 glorious weeks!
Is anyone having a baby shower?

 

[flexilexi394]

Thanks guys, I am praying I get this house lol.


6 WEEKS!!! you lucky minx! How lovely to finish nice and early and get things done for the last few weeks. I am jealous!

I personally have a weird thing about baby showers and feel super guilty for making everyone feel like they have to buy us things so I for that reason won't have one, didn't with Sofia either but that is just me being me! Can't help it lol are you having one? xx

 

[Summergurl]

6 weeks. Very jealous! I'll be working up to 37+2 then taking the 9months plus any annual leave I have tag that onto the end.

Not sure about a baby shower. I haven't organised one & not sure if somebody would organise one for me. Who knows.

 

[Nickinakinoo]

I saved my holiday so I've got 4 weeks hols and mat leave starts 4 weeks before due date, to be honest if I could go now I would, work is so stressful never mind it'll be easier with an end date!

I feel the same about baby showers lexi, I get really uncomfortable being given any gifts plus we've bought pretty much everything.

Last night I was really achey in my groin and then spread upto to the bottom of my tummy, bum and bits. It's gone this morning but I'm starting to panic about what pains are normal and what I should worry about!

I have 8 weeks to go at work. As a teacher I'm lucky to have the summer holidays. We only get 3 months maternity leave so I'm saving those to spend with the baby.
Is a baby shower the party before the baby arrives or when it is born? We had a big party for our son but won't do that again. We had some uninvited guests last time: my father in law brought his cousin who I never met before and his neighbours. We didn't invite our own neighbours, so definitely didn't want HIS neighbours there... So this time we'll just take the godmother and godfather out for dinner I think Aside from my OH's annoying father it was nice to have everyone there so I'd recommend it if you know your family won't act like it's THEiR child and party.

 

[flexilexi394]

Blimey Flo that's super weird of him to bring all those people!!

Baby shower here is before the baby is born, you get together with female friends and family (typically) and play baby related games, they buy your baby gifts etc, and it can be fun. I just don't like the thought of people feeling like they have to buy the baby things, we have everything we need, and I know people are going to buy us stuff but I feel weird about it in that kind of environment for some strange reason!

 

[Kholl]

Ok so when are we saying tri 3 starts? I'm soooo impatient

 

[flexilexi394]

Hey guys!

Kholl I have just gone through this whole thread for due dates and genders so I can get a front page started properly!

Im only missing a couple so people can add them to the tri 3 thread for me to put onto front page

Tri 3 is like 26-27 weeks I moved over in week 26 xxx

How are you guys?! xxxxx

 

[Kholl]

I'm moving over on Friday then! I will pretend 26 weeks is tri 3

Lexi thanks so much for doing the front page I know that is a lot
of work

I am ok, just SO beyond exhausted. My insomnia is HORRIBLE. Absolutely horrible. And every time I finally, FINALLY start to doze off I have to pee. It's so frustrating I'm in tears over it almost daily. And my son wakes up at 5am every single day. If I refuse to nurse him, he screams so loud he wakes the whole house. Which is what happened this morning and now my poor daughter is a wreck cause she's exhausted. I hate the sleep shit- it's the greatest parenting challenge for me by FAR. I have slept SO little and SO poorly for the last 5 years and now I'm about to start at square one. I'd give my left arm for a good sleeper this time. Just once!

Can you book yourself into a hotel for like one night?! Just to get some bloody rest it doesn't sound like you are getting any whatsoever which can't be good for you!?!? I couldn't cope on that little sleep, they say sleep deprivation is really not good for you, let alone when you are pregnant! Sweet talk the husband into letting you have a night off or something it sounds like you really need it!

 

[Flo1]

Oh, I'll follow you with the '26 weeks is tri 3', Kholl, moving over Thursday then. I think you should follow Lexi's advice and try to get a night or a weekend without children so you can sleep and get some rest.
Most days I have zero energy and when I do, I get too active and do too much so end up with pain and tired again. I'm really struggling to combine a full-time job with household, son and being pregnant. On the other hand I had a lovely weekend at home: baked a strawberry pie with DS and we went swimming with our little family and I can't wait until there are 4 of us to enjoy these moments!!

 

[Kholl]

Thanks guys- fortunately I'm flying down to CA with the kids on Thursday for 6 days. My parents and my in-laws live there and the plan is for kids to hang out with grandparents as much as possible and let me sleep as much as I want. 3 more days...!

 

[flexilexi394]

Ahh Kholl there's a light at the end of the tunnel!! I hope you get plenty of rest on your trip that would be so good! Xx

 

[fcroxy]

Hope you have a well deserved break kholl. Sounds like you need it xx

 

[KirstyLeigh88]

I am due 19th August with a little boy can't believe I am in tri three on Friday!!!

 

[flexilexi394]
