Oh GG I think like you say it’s nice to have a date but scary when you know everything’s not done and your not prepared.

Had a terrible nights sleep but the little bit I got apparently I was having an affair with Paddy McGuinness and Bradley Walsh was trying it on with me..... get this baby out the dreams I’m having are funny but strange lol!

Since yesterday baby is so active and pushing down so much!

 

[LuckyLaura]

Thanks everyone haha Im glad I even come across as more positive. Ive been feeling in such a hole lately and Im finally climbing out.
Jem, Shep and Shan– with all these almost-labours we are all looking at one of you guys to bring the next baby hahaha no pressure. I’m sure its weird tho to feel like its all systems go and then nothing to come of it. I imagine it must make you super impatient, I would be!

KHTW- try not to cough up your baby however it might hurt less? Hahaha Shep your husband sounds hilarious asking that after your sneezing fit! I was telling hubby to go easier over speed bumps around our way cuz he takes them like a madman and I swear the baby is gonna just rattle out sometimes.

Pate- this deserves its own section. IT IS MY ONE TRUE CRAVING. I swear. My mum and husband are under strict instructions for this to be the first thing placed in my hand when I have the baby. Like squeezing her out…”congrats it’s a…” *pushes baby aside to grab pate on toast* yeah yeah Ill get to that in a sec hahaha

I’m not even sure how I would feel if I am offered a sweep. I don’t like people touching and prodding at me at the best of times. Pretty sure my birth plan is going to be “LEAVE ME ALONE…unless emergency”

GG- hope you are getting a bit of rest today and that Dan flies into superman action haha

Fela- yay maternity leave!
Amy- hope the migraine has eased and the dog sitting went okay.

My brain can't cope with anything more haha

Just remembered Sheps shaved cat, been meaning to say, my cat is booked in on monday to be shaved. I think its a long haired cat thing. I don't go as extreme lion cut but mostly his back legs and stuff cuz he matts, he ends up looking like hes wearing a jumper and socks xx

 

[LuckyLaura]

Also im 34 weeks today and feel like Im so behind hahaha I wanna be up there in the 38 weeks onwards! xx

 

[JemRose]

GG sorry you're having such a rough time

Went to do horses, constantly swallowing stomach bile so drove into Gloucester and eventually found a garage that had gaviscon tablets. They worked almost instantly, just got into bed and Dan has set his alarm fairly early to get up and start the things he needs to get done. Just knowing it's so bloody close now has really hit me today. I'm not remotely nervous about Wednesday, I'm just desperate to have all the house 100% clean and ready for baby.

How are you doing Jem with the spd?

Sore, very very sore

 

[JemRose]

So I stretched in bed this morning half asleep and something really really loud popped in my pelvis. I am fairly certain it wasn't my own bones and now ever since I've been worried I've broken baby's neck.. That isn't possible is it?! I've made OH, my mum and my sister laugh at my theory but I genuinely can't think of anything else that the pop was. It was so loud!

omg its so weird you should say this. I was driving home with a foot in my rib earlier and suddenly thought "if i bend suddenly could i snap a foot???"

I really hope its not true, surely they're still rubbery?? xx

 

[JemRose]

Haha I don't know! I've been convinced I've broken his neck, but he has since moved so I'm guessing I haven't and he isn't paralysed. Funny the things that go through our minds!!

No idea what the pop was though!!

The pop is gas build up in the joint and yes, it can be super loI'd so don't worry about baby. I love that this is the kind of thing our brains think though, lol.

I think my sleep came in 20-40 minute bursts with like an hour between all night. Definitely getting ranitidine today anyone who tries to stop me can expect me to punch them so hard in the gut they'll have to swallow their last meal all over again.

 

[KHTW]

Lol Jem, no the baby will be fine. I remember thinking that with DD1 x

GG if you are normally an active, busy person it is difficult to slow down. I am happy for you that your health in pregnancy allows you to keep being active and involved in farm life. Fingers crossed Dan progresses well with housework today x

Busy day today for us too. Bedding washed and drying outside, towel cupboard sorted, bedside crib about to be put together and then away to sort out wallpaper around new windows. Hope to spend some time in the garden as we have a lovely day today but OH is working all days from tomorrow until Thursday so we have to do as much as possible today.

Hope you all have a nice Sunday x

 

[LuckyLaura]

Sounds like a great sunday planned KHTW.

I just had to pick my husband up from work again, left him off by 9 and got a phone call that he is feeling really ill and to go back to get him not happy hes ill but dead glad to have him back as im a clingy nightmare at the moment and wasn't looking forward to being alone all day. He's currently tucked up in bed beside me with juice and being pampered haha xx

 

[Shepherdess]

Nice to see so many busy ladies this Sunday. It's so exciting all this getting ready

We've just had a lovely walk along the river, just home and going to watch the football and fill the paddling pool

Tmi the night I had my false labour husband and I had had sex that morning so I said to him last night I wanted sex again to try and move things on. I did it in a nice subtle way but husband knew what I was about. He was reading and I ended up falling asleep and was livid when I woke this morning and hadn't had sex. I told him his lunchtime how mad I was when I woke up and he's said hes "willing" to have sex tonight as he's worked super hard this week and can do minimal work for the next four days so we should try and get baby out. I hate planned sex but fingers crossed

 

[KHTW]

Lol Shep you made me laugh, good job hubby is up for it

I am proud to say that I alone put together the bedside crib! I can now also see why you can't put sensory mat down and it bothers me. Will have to get over it I guess x

 

[Shepherdess]

At least she will be right there khtw so hopefully you can just open your eyes and get some peace of mind without needing to sit up. Well done getting that done by yourself

 

[_GG_]

Shep, in an odd way we kind of like planned sex as it ends up being less romantic and passionate but we have such a giggle. It's how we got this baby. We went to the pub, had a few, got in and I had loads of ewcm so said, "Oi, sort the dogs out then have a shower I'm jumping in now...we need to make a baby". He said okay, then 15 minutes later I was lying in bed, the door opened slightly and a naked hairy man leg appeared in a not very sultry manner and his body followed doing a sort of attempt at a sexy dance. Then he said, "So, are you ready for a few minutes of bitter disappointment?" Lol.

KH, sounds like a very productive day.

Laura, sorry hubby isn't well, but I am glad you have him home with you.

Dan has buried himself doing outside things this morning and we're off shopping soon before he cracks on with the inside stuff.

We have a countdown on our blackboard painted wall in the kitchen and he changed it to "3 sleeps til baby" this morning and had the realisation that actually, this shit needs doing now, lol.

 

[JemRose]

Shep I'm currently in the process of convincing OH to have sex haha. He is just not interested, I think cos it's a such a hassle. But I need him to help get the baby out! He could at least play his part hahah

 

[PeanutButter]

I'm sure just an orgasm will help you know. Ikno sperm helps cervix soften. But me and hubby couldn't have sex due to swelling but we still did stuff the morning of my bloody show... And had really bad pains after orgasm which was start of labour... Also went for a 2 hour walk the day before, get walking ladies. We need some babies born aha.

 

[Fela]

GG.. cracking up at Dan’s attempt at a sexy dance... I think we’ve always had a bit of a sense of humour about sex too.... I mean it’s great fun but it’s still pretty daft.

My birthday today - looks like I get to keep my birthday to myself! Got some family around this evening for a takeaway curry in the back garden! I’m loving the hot weather actually but I’ve always been a bit of a heat seeker.. looking forward to my first week off.. planning on taking your advice PB and doing loads of walking!

 

[_GG_]

PB, I'm just over here like, who is going to beat me to Wednesday, lol. How is Lucas doing?

Fela, I know....he's actually an annoyingly good dancer but not when doing that, I can't keep a straight face, lol. And "a few minutes" is a fucking laugh...his idea of a quickie is no less the 40 minutes, lol.

 

[Shepherdess]

Haha PB I've tried walking, well tbh I've always thought the one thing that won't set me off is walking as I do at least an hour every day but always have. Last pregnancy I had a sweep in the morning, sex that night and had my show the next morning before labour started that day

GG I still think you'll probably be next or maybe I'll tie with you. I'm glad Dan has been working hard today, the next couple of days will fly past. Is your c-sec first thing in the morning?

Can't believe it's my due date tomorrow! I'm still going with 28th and my induction is booked for 2nd July which was the first date I ever got when working things out so maybe that's a sign to

 

[JemRose]

How is it even possible that I keep getting bigger and bigger?! Fml I'm absolutely huge! I might ask for another growth scan as I'm getting really scared about the size of him!
