*****December Babies*****

[klferrin]

my mw also suggested bouncing on a ball and rotating hips on the ball.. it's meant to widen the pelvis to allow baby more room

 

[Sosie]

oooo i'll look now! it's my fault. I was reading that you shouldn't sit crossed legged, with your feet up or slouch............ I have been doing all of the above xx

*uncrossing my legs* I do all of the above.. I think bubs is back to back.. It was last time.. ahh congratulations on your last day chick can't believe you've gone so long.. Well done you xx

 

[sophs85]

Afternoon ladies well I did it, I started the hospital bag, nearly all done too. And I finally bought some nappies lol xx

 

[sophs85]

Did you ge the just for bums? I have 200 of them and 100 mix of Tesco pampers and buggies LOL x

 

[daniph1]

Dysco yay!! Dont worry about your students........ they are students.... they shouldnt care!!!! xx

 

[Doob]

Ooo you're so much more organised than me I was just concentrating on the hospital bag, hadn't thought about afterwards I'm not being very good at this lol!! I got a Huggies stater box which had 27 nappies, cotton wool and wipes in it and an aptimil starter set just incase as I intend to bf anyway. I should go and order some just for bums though cos 27 isn't going to last me long

Have you packed your own cotton wool for LO or will they have that to use? Nappy bags? x

 

[Sosie]

Well done Doob I've packed cotton wool and nappy sacks just in case what list have you used to pack from? Mines half packed, still not sure what I actually need x

 

[Sosie]

What snacks are you taking?

 

[klferrin]

I bought snacks today and in gonna have to pack them straight away or hubby will eat them!! I bought some Jaffa cakes, jelly babies, granola bars, powerade drinks and some crisps... Might have to pack some protein shakes for hubby!! Want to get bananas too but can't really get them!!

I think I'd be more likely to eat them at the moment.. jelly babies are a good shout.. I think I'm going to get some lucozade and maybe some pot noodles for my OH (all he'll have to do is add boiling water..) granola bars are my fave so I think I'll get some of those too.. I kind of have a love for cheese ATM so I think I'll get some baby bells or something? X

 

[newbie1984]

Doob I have the huggies newborn set too I just packed the whole thing and about 1/4 of the cotton sheets.

 

[newbie1984]

Snack wise.... Well there is a vending machine on our ward and a shop too so I'm not going too crazy. Ill prob pack some energy drinks (still, I don't like fizzy), some cereal bars, ummm I have no idea really!!! I should probably get some snacky food in the next shop. Baby's bag is packed I just need to add his snow suit, and with mine I need to add towel, clothes for me and get some disposable sterile bottles.

I have a breast feeding class tonight for 2.5 hours then according to NCT I'm ready to have a baby!!!! X

 

[Sosie]

Well done you as well as snacks.. I need to think about what sort of clothes I'm going to take.. And I need to buy some new slippers ( just cheapo primark ones) I'm not ruining my fluffy slipper boots other then that my bags nearly done xxx

 

[Doob]

Have fun at the class newbie I wonder what they spend so long asking about? Have they been worth it overall?

I got a couple of packs of eat natural bars, a pack of brioche cake bar things, a pack of boiled sweets (a tip from a friend, apparently they helped to concentrate???! And gave her a sugar boost) The full calorie Ribenna cartons as I feel sick after energy drinks. A mini pack of those tiny sized diet cokes oh and some polos just incase my breath needs them and I give a damn about that in the middle of labour lol anything more substantial I'll send OH out to get.

I've not done my going home outfit yet or LO's clothes as I don't want them sat there creased for 4-6weeks so will just do those when it all kicks off, they just need adding to the bags.

I haven't really used a set list Sosie just what I thought from the threads on here.

OH still hasn't handed in his pat form so I'm refusing to pack or consider anything he will need, he's on his own now. He's out tonight too so might 'accdently' leave my keys in the lock to make things more difficult for him on his return...or bloody change the locks altogether!!!

 

[Sosie]

I would be fuming Doob
Has he given you a reason why and has he apologised for not handing it in?
Xx

 

[Doob]

He's runs his own research group so doesn't see it as a big issue as he can be flexible and he has no teaching booked for January. He's also waiting for an american contractor to let him know dates for coming over and setting up some new lab equipment. They originally wanted the week of 17-21/12 which I told him no as OH has to be there too apparently to supervise the set up. So now they've said some time in the 2/3rd week of January but he's waiting on the date before handing the form in. I'm arguing hand it in anyway and just go in on the date they need you. Basically I want him to get everything signed, sealed and official that he can stay off and he's saying as he might have to go in and out during January for this equipment what's the point. Now don't get me started on why this equipment couldn't have already been sorted and set up, apprently that's out of his control grrrr!!!

 

[russellmuscle]

My OH usually doesnt hand stuff in because he is lazy but he works for my cousins partner so I personally handed his PAT in - I was making sure it bloody got there, I will need every one if those 14 days! xxxxxx

 

[sophs85]

woo hoo!!! well bouncing on the ball feels like it might have made baby turn from being back to back. But even better when I stood up from dinner I noticed that bump looked like it had dropped, looked in the mirror and I think she had decided it was time! xx

 

[russellmuscle]

I think Ive shifted Jackson since buying my ball last week. His head deffo feels as if its atleast starting to engage, I will need to book an appointment with MW to check.

My mum thought Id use my ball once then ditch it but I love it, even eat my dinner on it sometimes! LOL!
