What's everyone's plans for the day? Was gonna go out for the day but I don't think I will be able to stand the heat walking around and my ankles will swell like mad, as they did y'day,so think I'm just gonna find a shady spot in the garden again while OH finishes off odd diy jobs he's started but not got round to finishing lol (he doesn't know that yet tho lol)

Lots more bouncing and walking for you Dani. We're all eager to meet little Mr Noah monkey now xx

definitely going to go into labour today that's my plan anyway!! im just aiming to stay as cool a possible so going to get in the shade and send hubby to argos for a cheapo paddling pool so I can dip my feet hopefully that will help with my massive cankles!!

we found out yesterday that hubby's sister is pregnant only about 6 weeks but I am really excited about it be so lovely for our bubs to have a cousin so close in age xxx

[tilly16]

Tilly paddling pool what fab idea!!!

I've seen one in argos for about £4 so thought why not even if it only lasts this heatwave week!!

Oooooooh yeah we got a paddling pool for ty yday and he loves it...... So does daddy! Haha! Perfect for cooling ur feet off, I might get in fully today tho, it's sooooo hot! Woke up with extra sweaty boots at about 3am, then barely slept since cuz I was hot and bothered can't remember the last time I had a full night sleep, good practice I suppose.

The nearer it gets to Thursday the more tense I seem to be getting. Think it's cuz it's such a long time to build up towards your "due date" that you get it in your head baby will be here by then. I'm so ready to go into labour now, really want to have my little girl here now. Love the sunshine but when ur this big it's so u comfortable. And I have literally nothing to wear! None of my maxi dresses fit, I can't get any of my shorts on, my leggings are "over the bump" ones so make me really hot..... I'm so stressed! Saw some maternity shorts in next, £24! There's just no point now, she could be here any day. I'm gona go round to my mums n see if she's got any stretchy kind of shorts..... Can't wear jeans today! Yday I was in the garden so got away with wearing my pj shorts! But today I defo need something I can wear out! What are u girls doing? Xxxx

 

[tilly16]

I was the same last night Laura if I wasn't waking up for a wee it was because I was too hot, going to get a desk fan as well today to try and help with sleeping!!

There is no way you can wear jeans today!!! can you not wear your leggings but fold them down so they are under your bump? I can just about get in to my maxis but they are now swinging round my ankles or should I say cankles!

I refuse to buy any more mat clothes now seems pointless, I know how much I want to go into labour and i'm over a week behind you so can only imagine how you must be feeling! come on babies!!!! xxx

 

[lauralou]

Ah it's so annoying isn't it, we've got a fan but oh can't sleep with it on?!!!! Think tonight il kick him out if it's hot again cuz I neeeeeed that fan!

I tried folding the leggings down but they dig in a bit then, and get uncomfortable. I might go to tk maxx and see if they have any cheap shorts just to put with a vest top, they must have something!

I feel more positive now than I did last week, think it's cuz I know I'm close now, but I'm so impatient I just want things to start now!! We defo need to go into labour today..... Come on babies we are ready!! Be nice to have our ohs off with us while it's nice weather too! X

 

[kim88]

went back to sleep for a little bit so feel a bit better now thanks. Just a few pains still! Xx

 

[tilly16]

hubby has said he will go into the spare room if I need him to so if he complains about the fan that is exactly where he will be going!!

ahh yeh I hadn't thought of that! I am currently just sat in a vest top and knickers haha sorry bet that's a lovely thought for you. I cant face getting dressed and feeling sweaty but I do want to get out today and do a little bit of walking so will have to at some point.

I am in 2 minds about when I want baby to arrive, obviously I would like him/her to arrive now but hubbys parents live in spain and arrive on my due date so if I have the baby now he will be back at work by the time they arrive. Ideally I would like baby to come a week early, hubby isn't the most confident and i don't want them to put him down and tell him hes doing things wrong so at least if baby is a week or so old he can build up his confidence before they get here and still get to spend some time with them xx

 

[lauralou]

Ah that'd be nice if u had a week together first, it can be so daunting and when people are watching over u it's even more pressure to be the perfect mum, ul soon get the hang of it between u tho, it definitely takes time tho. Is this your first? This is my second and I'm panicking thinking ive forgotten everything! X

 

[tilly16]

yeh its our first, I am lucky as we have always had babies in the family so have had a lot of 'practise' with them- not that it'll be anything like having your own!

I know mil won't cross me again as she kept questioning things that i was saying at xmas and i told her in the nicest possible way that it was our baby and we would do what we thought was right! however she is a bit sneaky and i know she will try and tell Andrew to do things that i don't agree with. I know everyone will give their opinion and i don't have an issue with that its when i say no to something so she then goes to Andrew to try and get him on side!! grr!!

xx

 

[lauralou]

Ah god yeah that happens even now with us! And it's weird how differently people do things, but just do what u are comfortable with. And be firm we've had a few tiffs in the past and sarky comments have been made but I think there's nothing wrong with people suggesting as long as it's not every single thing u do. I just say "god it's amazing he's still alive with me not doing it ur way?!" Haha x soon shuts people up x

 

[babyslog]

I e had a good cry and feel alot better haha!
And Karlie has sent me some lovely texts!

Sounds silly i no cos he will be here ina week regardless now but its just all getting on top of me!

So no more stressing, trying and worrying and wondering why isnt he here yet!?
Im guna have a chilling day doing NOTHING but sit in my mums garden!
Not guna touch that blinking ball lolol!

And im just guna do this until he arrives and enjoy it. Ive over doing it all, resulting to hurting my stupid hips n back!
And look where its go me, crying hahaha!

Have a lovely day girlys! Ill log on this evening and see if any more july mummas have had their babas xxxxx

 

[k8_005]

Big hugs dani I really feel for you. Iv woken today with such acheyness and pains. I don't think it's labour because iv had no show and no waters breakin and no strong tightenings just very uncomfy in my back and belly I too think sitting in garden today may be the best way forward xx

 

[tilly16]

have a lovely relaxing day Dani!! Sometimes a good cry is what you need hun xxx

 

[kim88]

Need to get this baby moving! Can not be pregnant for much longer in this heat! X
