I was on the receiving end of an act of fait....had two tubs of clotted cream ice cream appear mysteriously in my shopping delivery!
I'm starving, last night I had dinner and pudding but still wasn't satisfied.
Now I've just eaten half a packet of biscuits whilst thinking about what to have for tea!

What is everyone having for tea? Xx

 

[Cherrybelly]

We had pizza and salad and a massive chocolate muffin

 

[Jazzy.fizzle]

Hmm...I had home made pizza last night. chocolate muffin sounds blooming good! X

Well, after two weeks in NICU we are home and settling in. Maia has been diagnosed with HIE grade 2 - this is the same thing as happened with Cerianns baby but Maia has a less severe form. She's doing great just now and is breast feeding etc but we have been warned that the future is uncertain she may have cerebral palsy and/or learning disabilities and she has been referred to audiology as she didn't respond on her hearing screening twice.

We think she's just perfect though and are totally in love with her!

I was just reading your post in Ceriann's thread a couple of hours ago and was worried that you hadn't posted anything for quite a while. So glad to hear Maia is OK, but obviously the long-term outlook is very worrying for you. I hope in the coming weeks and months any major problems will be ruled out. She's a beautiful little girl. xxx

[cornishfairy]

Aww so glad you're home together now emma, been thinking about you. She looks gorgeous and I can see why you're so proud. Hope she continues to go from strength to strength. Beautiful little lady xx

 

[Jazzy.fizzle]

Aww she's such a cutie Emma, hope she continues going from strength to strength! X

 

[Irishemma]

worse nights sleep so far. I couldn't get comfortable ended up with a few hours lying propped up on my back. baby had some ssvere hiccups (i swear he gets properly irritated by hiccups!) and full on headbutting me, whilst stretching his legs into my ribs. I now have cramp.

no symptoms today please, oh is at the jap fest with no phone signal all day - so im going to take my little sister tee total out for her lunch and some mocktails for her 21st, then visiting a friend for tea. hopefully be able to stay awake the whole time. x

 

[Cherrybelly]

Awww jazzy, sorry you had a rubbish night! Neither of us got to sleep until gone midnight cos I was feeling really anxious for some reason. Once I was gone, I slept right through until oh's dd woke us up at about 8 (which is really good for her!). Oh has fallen asleep on the sofa whilst she watches Cartoon Network so I've crept back to the bedroom lol (we're good parents lol...) x

Well mission get baby out yesterday as I am 39+3 today didn't quite go as expected.

I are half a pineapple, drank my tea as usual, bounced, walked then had the best sex we've had in weeks just before midnight and I ended up in agony all night with tightenings through my bump and back every 2-3 minutes that were really hurting!!! Felt like the contractions I had when I miscarried so I actually thought my oh had kicked things off. Still had pains regular til around 5.30am and they eased off enough to fall asleep sitting up. Now I'm just super sore and tired.

My photographer is coming at 1 to do a bump shoot with me which we planned last minute yesterday. He's a good friend so I've warned him I'm a grump today!!

 

[vic30]

Well I didn't have a good night either! My pelvis was bad all day yesterday - as if I'd done til much but I hadn't, I was limping all day and struggling. Anyway, we moved all the stuff back to our house so I was on my feet for a while, we got home, sorted stuff out and I finally sat down and had a glass of water. Got back up to help hubby with tea and had the most blinding pain in my left side!! I thought oh no, not now! I'm used to twinges down there, and the pelvic pain which is different, but this was just weird! It went away, came back a bit, then started on the right side! Went away totally thank goodness, so either baby was doing something odd or I've developed a grumbling appendix!!! It just felt like I wanted to double over. Gave us a shock! I had a rough night turning over in bed (you'd think my body would just stay on my left side, but no) and my SPD hasn't worn off. I'm actually starting to think my pelvis will snap during labour now! I don't want baby today as it's father-in-law's birthday so I wasn't happy when pains started last night. Parents are back today so I'd like my mum to see me still pregnant as I haven't seen her since January apart from on FaceTime!!! Xx

 

[Louj80]

Aw, emma she's gorgeous

I have also been struggling sleeping, what with being up every half hour for a wee, my right hip is agony if I lie on that side, it's like a red hot poker being stabbed in my hip, horrid! Can't get comfy on left at all!!

37 weeks for me now just want baba out now xx

 

[cornishfairy]

Crap night here too! Lots of my usual leg and arm cramps kept me awake all night, I felt like I could have cried my eyes out but bizarrely during pregnancy I seem to have lost the ability to cry (only done it a couple of times the whole 9 months!) so that kind of annoyed me as well as I feel like it would have released some stress. I can't bear the thought of another night of these cramps let alone another 4 weeks. I swear I'm going to lose my mind. X

 

[TT254]

Sounds like we are all in the wars. I have to have food I feel super sick now. Feel so sore and warn out I really thought stuff was kicking off!!! I even had jelly show but it wasn't pink at all so it probably wasn't my plug...

Midwife is Thursday for my 40 weeks she said I can have free pregnancy aromatherapy the following Tuesday at 40+5 and a sweep but the thought of lasting til then is horrid lol x

 

[cornishfairy]

Oh I hope baby arrives before the sweep, I feel for you and I haven't even hit 38w yet! Us may mummies are a right bunch of wrecks aren't we!!
