My husbands also pretty good to be fair. It’s just I tend to be home more and I can’t relax if the chores aren’t done.

He did have an unfortunate incident involving my very lovely John Lewis towels where he mistook bleach for fabric conditioner and filled the washing machine with bleach.... my towels looked like tie dye experiments

Omg I don’t know if I could continue with our marriage if my oh did that to mine they do mean well most of the time

 

[Akua]

Haha! Yes it’s gettinf on top of toys and toy storage that’s important!

Akua that’s a lot of miles! Did my second marathon this year and two half’s. Just started a bit more trail running in spring. Been doing between 3-5 miles 3x a week
And loving the release but can hardly breath. Added at least a minute into each mile but it’s not about pbs is it? Must be hard not running but you’ve other things to focus on. I was going to do a half in October but reckon I’ll give it a miss and focus on running to make me feel
Good. 👍🏼

I do wonder if I might have lost my love of running in pregnancy for that reason if I had been able to continue? I like a challenge so I don’t know if I’d have been able to enjoy it as much without chasing pbs? Or maybe it would be enough to enjoy the challenge of running in pregnancy. Who knows. But I feel very jealous whenever I see someone out pounding the pavement!

I think it may be the biggest test our marriage has ever faced

Glad you’re still on top of it though kholl! Maybe there’s hope after all

My vote would defo be for an apple and blackberry crumble our DD loves blackberries, whenever we walk by a bush she goes running over to them wanting them!

Ah I’m far too superstitious for that. I’ve settled for cleaning the inside of the washing machine instead

Isnt that the worst job ever, although my hubby bought an amazing product the other day and our washing machine is now gleaming

Wow we need a life

You have to share what this amazing product is!

My husband always calls me his whirlwind. I just move at a rediculous speed all day round so I do tend to get quite a bit done in not much time. Plus if you do it every day you never get to the stage where it needs a deep clean that takes the time.

I’m running out of clothes that fit but I’m too early for maternity clothes. My jeans are straining (I’ve already split one pair) and even my Lycra running gear is tight. Any suggestions?!

Get yourself to primark. I picked Jon a pair of leggings the other day, cotton ones for £2.50 and they're amazing, they're not see through at all which is what's I was expecting! And a couple of tshirts for also £2.50. They'll tide you over and even be good enough for the next few months.

I have OCD too with my home, and while you care less about the way the house looks it is fairly easy to keep on top of. I used to let her leave toys all over, then at naptime (after lunch) I'd run around putting everything to rights and having a clean, then when she got up she'd leave toys all over again which are easily put back when she's in bed on a night.

You'll find your pattern

I do the exact same with DD toys, I can't relax in a messy front room so when she's napping it all gets bunged away.

 

[Akua]

I’ve been imagining this apple and blackberry crumble ever since yesterday. I might have to make one tomorrow.

Also whilst we’re talking of cravings, I’m desperate for fruit sherbert sweets. And no where will sell them to me! Currently got dinner in the oven though. Cheeky mid week roast always cheers me up.

Might have to get myself to primark on that recommendation. I’m trying to avoid buying anything until after my twelve week scan as I’m insanely superstitious this time round. Only 16 days to wait

Dettol washing machine cleaner. 250ml - does one 60 degree wash your washing machine will be gleaming afterwards

Told the oh you girls wanted to know and he was straight on line looking it up trying to get involved

 

[Akua]

Maybe mr ivw should have a username. We could put ken as his avatar

He could have his own cleaning hack thread for mummy's to be

Oh and his initials are in my username cringe

I was the same but I just couldn't wait any longer all my clothes were so uncomfortable. And besides, it's not maternity wear so surely it'll be ok?!

Haven’t made a crumble yet but will keep you posted!

 

[Akua]

I seem to be making up for all those weeks of sickness today, by eating the entire house. I’ve just had two huge fajitas for tea and I’m still hungry. Earlier I had three rounds of bread and jam as a snack.... Clearly the baby is hungry today

How’s everyone else?

 

[Minchin]

I love fajitas!

I’ve cooked more this week than i usually do, not sure why just really fancied it! Made a massive lasagne and been eating loads of that!

Long day out a farm park yesterday with the boys was so tired when got home and then had a friend over for dinner but just wanted to collapse, couldn’t cancel it though.

Scan tomorrow. Am feeling a little restless today as a result xxx

What’s everyone up to?

 

[Chase]

So very restless. I have no symptoms at all. I'm not even peeing very often anymore. Preparing myself for bad news on Saturday.

 

[Minchin]

Oh chase, sorry to hear this but everything crossed for you xxxx

 

[Kholl]

So very restless. I have no symptoms at all. I'm not even peeing very often anymore. Preparing myself for bad news on Saturday.

Chase, thread crashing to say I lost all my symptoms a few days before 9 weeks. All of them, gone. I'm over 16 weeks now and everything is fine. The frequent peeing returned after like 12 weeks or so but between 9-12 weeks, aside from being enormous, I had no physical sign whatsoever that I was still pregnant. I really think you're ok.

I had a bleed a few days ago too

 

[Minchin]

Oh chase fx that the bleed was nothing, been thinking of you

 

[Akua]

I’m so impressed by your patience and bravery chase. There’s no way I’d have been able to wait five days for the scan, I’m too impatient and impulsive. Fingers crossed it all works out ok.

I’ve had a day like that too where I’ve noticed less symptoms. My boobs are still sore and my belly is huge but I’ve not been remotely nauseous. But then I’ve had such a busy day at work I wonder if I’ve just noticed less. That’s the thing about the nhs, you’re so busy looking after everyone else that you don’t have time to pay attention to yourself. Now cooking dinner.... breakfast feels a very long time ago!

 

[Sparky Mum]

Hope you're alright, Chase!
Placenta takes over around week 9 so a fluctuation in symptoms could just be that.
Mine disappeared for a few days too.
There is still hope!
Sorry about your bleed, fx it was nothing xx
