charliebear's bean

The Beginning.

Well we found out I was Pregnant on 22nd Feb, over the moon.:wohoo:
Told OH's DD on the Sunday, who then told her OH. As she's always wanted to be big sis, she told her side of family (just couldnt keep it in :dohh:) I'm just glad she's so pleased. :cloud9:

I've has morning sickness, sore bb's, cramps, dizziness and still got them.

Me and OH went into town not long after finding out. He surprised me in being interested in looking at prams and things. Decided on the Silver Cross 3D in Coast. Got to get seatbelts changed in the back of the Jeep though as there not big enough to go around car seat. Been told this is possible and cheeper than buying another car!
Me and my mam went into town and got some cute little bits. Got my free bag from Boots. Scratch mits, bibs, a nice thick coat with matching hat and mittens, soo cute. End of shopping for now. Oh, maybe not a nice maternity top on sale in mothercare :blush:

8+2 wks

Well at the moment i'm compleatly confuzzled:dohh:
1st app at the midwife yesterday, was dreading it. She was lovely, put my mind at ease about a few things.
Chose where we are hopefully going to have bean - midwife lead unit.
Got to see a consultant as I have Duplex kidney (3 fully working kidneys, instead of 2!) so waiting for app for that - not too concerned though.
Given drop-in times for the Physio incase i have trouble with my back, have had problems towards the end of last year.

We went to the midwife thinking I was 6+2wks and came out 8+1wks!:wacko:
Midwife took the dates from the first day of my last period, not counting for my 42 day cycles. Giving us the 20th Oct. As when I calculated on: http://www.askdramy.com/pcalctry.html it gave me a due date of 2nd Nov (accounting for 42 day cycle).

So now nearly all the family know. OH's side, DD side, close family on my side, a few friends and work.
I wanted to keep quiet for now as petrified something will go wrong. But its not just my decision.

How sweet, DD came this evening with a 'your going to be a mum' card, addressed to me, OH and pooch! The pooch definatly knows, he's been so strange with me.

Well its been a long post sure I'll think of some more eventually. Totally rubbish at keeping a Journal. Bye for now.

wonderfull news congrats and I am wishing you a H&H nine months

Congrats, your due jut 4 days before!

8 weeks 5 days

Well have started to tell my side of the family, gettin calls and txts of congrats. Still feels strange, that we actually done it, were pg! :yipee:

Been having terrible sickness :sick:, find its worse when I havnt eaten, so got to make myself eat when I feel so sick with pains and wouldnt 'normally' eat. Relief only lasts upto an hour or so before I start to feel ill again. Ive had to start carrying food around with me so I can constantly eat!

Tiredness is taking it toll. Finding every spare minute I have I want to sleep, wouldnt be too bad but i'm at work all weekend, so i cant veg out.:hissy:

Something to look forward to: seeing my sis and 4 week old nephew on tues, wont have seen them for nearly two weeks. :happydance:

9+6 wks

Things are going ok at the moment. Off work for 10 days, so have been veg-ing out over the weekend. :happydance:
Normal jeans arnt feeling comfy anymore, had to change clothes already, thought i'd be in my 'normal' clothes a while longer.:hissy:

Still feels weird that i can actually say ' i'm pregnant'. :dohh:

10+4 wks

:wohoo: I have my first scan date!! Mon 7th April!!!:wohoo:
So excited, just want to make sure that beanie is ok.
Just over a week to go then we can put our minds at rest.

Not alot going on at the moment, bloating loads so i look huge at the moment.
Seen my gorgeous nephew again yesterday, he's only a month old. What a good baby he is!! :baby:

Well got tonnes to do as i'm starting to feel better, better get on :dishes: :laundry: :hangwashing:

ooo good luck for your scan!!

Good luck for your scan!

11+6 weeks

:wohoo: 12 weeks and my first scan in the morning :wohoo:

Excited but nervous, been stressing over it so psoriasis is bad at the mo!
Also everyone's taken to calling me casper!! as i'm so pale!
OH's DD cant make it as she has to work, but will meet my mam afterwards.

Good luck for tomorrow! What time is your scan?

Just read your scan is today! Oh I'm so excited let us know how it went. Good luck hun. x

good luck for scan :-D

OMG i'm still in shock!! :cloud9:

As predicted we are only 10 weeks today!!
Beanie is doing fine, heartbeat going strong and moving around.

I want to do it all again, today!! I was soo nervous of something being wrong i couldnt relax. OH is still amazed that you can actually see something, he thought there would just be a blob or something. Bless him, he's read all the info aswell, but hasnt seen a scan in about 20 years!!! Old bugger!!

I had a emotional sob last nite :cry:, it started joking over peas!! What is happening??? Well at least i can relax now i know little Beanie is fine.

im glad it went well:)

:hugs: Glad your scan went well!

11 weeks

Tried to do this yesterday, but it wouldnt let me!! :cry: :hissy:

Anyway as above 11 weeks!!:happydance:
Feeling much better, just got sore BB's and tiredness now! :sleep:

Had a good :cry: last monday, (night of the first scan). Started off me and OH joking around while preparing dinner, started laughing and ended up sobbing! OMG emotional breakdown over a few pea's.
OH was so concerned, he's great! Only now he keeps telling me not to cry over my dinner!!!

:hissy: Bloody inlaws, second week running now they have called me fat, I am not fat i'm pregnant (mostly bloating!):hissy:

:hissy: Bloody inlaws, second week running now they have called me fat, I am not fat i'm pregnant (mostly bloating!):hissy:

What a VILE comment! Did you mention to them, that YOU are carrying THEIR grandchild??!! :hissy:

I'm very sure you are not fat, and that doesn't matter anyway, you are carrying the most precioius thing of all, and if they can't see that, well, sod them!! :hug:

Anyone says to me 'you're fat' my response is 'yes I may well be fat but if I decide to I'll lose the weight, where as you my friend will always be stuck with that head.....'

Thanks, well went today. I can report no 'fat' comments. x

11+5 weeks

Noooo :hissy:. I really wanted to do a '12 weeks:happydance:' thread!!!
But OH didnt cancel camping booking, even with all the bad weather, so were still going and no Internet:hissy: Its a :muaha: situation, a week off, alone time (always a good thing!), dog gets plenty of exercise and I get to wear what I believe is my first pair of wellies!!!! (its a simple thing please simple minds kinda thing!!! And there cow wellies!!!)

So, nothing much to report. Still tired, sore BB's and abit of dizziness!

Should hopefully be back at the weekend, where i can catch up for once as it seems as though i never get a chance to catch up with everyones journey's.

Nearly there!!x

not long now!!

12+4 weeks.

Thanks all.
Well I made it!!!:happydance: I'm officially past 12 weeks.
I've also managed to get in some baby shopping with th OH. Who has said he's soo excited and loves buying!!! (bless!)
Well I'm the organised type so for 2 days have been baby shopping for bedding. Thought i'd do it abit at a time and dont want to wait till later on.

We went camping, BIG mistake, it was soo cold. We were booked for 4 nights and stayed one! So for the rest of the week have been spending quality time together, and babysitting our nephew for the first time!!

Really need some extra :sleep: I'm so tired.

eurgh i hate camping i dont blame you for only staying one night!

congrats on 12 weeks woohoo

We used to go camping - its great fun but when its cold at night, boy its cold!!!! I convinced my hubby that we should buy a little caravan so we'd be warmer and have no tent to pitch in the wind!!!! He eventually went for it and we love it!!! We're going at half term and for 3 weeks at the start of the summer hols - its gonna be a squeeze in there!!!!


Congrats on 12 weeks and see you in the 2nd tri soon!!!
x

Urggh camping .. why does it always seem like such a good idea until you get there? Its cold and you just cant get comfy!! Dont blame you for sneaking back early hun

Thanks all.
We'll the camping has been the OH's idea all along, was great last time nice and warm!!
He has said that maybe next time we will try and borrow his sisters new campervan!!

:hissy: As if i'm ever going back there again!!!!:hissy:
Went as usual to OH's sisters house for lunch yesterday and just when I thought it had stopped, 'oh, your getting a fat arse to go with the belly!!'
I was fecking forming!!! How dare they do this again!!!!:cry:
Told them i wasnt going next week and would quite happily ask for overtime on sundays and visit my mum in future.
Then last night after helping myself to a :blush: rather large helping of pizza OH thought it would be funny to tell me 'no wonder your getting big!' (meant jokingly as his normal saying is i'm getting a nice little pot before rubbing belly)- well i told him where to stick it too!!!:hissy:

Well got Dr appointment this afternoon, been getting the odd headache and dizzyness recently but its getting to the point where i've pretty much got them all the time now. Best get it checked.

13+1 weeks

:wohoo: (i love this little dude!) I'm getting a baby bump!
Not alot happening at the moment....apart from my collection of baby things are growing!!!

Aww I think I will be buying things throughout the year, just to keep me occupied... I bet you're constantly looking at the things you've bought... I know I am already!!

:hug: Congratulations on reaching 13 weeks xxx

13 + 4 weeks

Well nearly in 2nd tri!!!!:happydance:
Think I might have to buy my pram soon, as when on the silver cross website (we want the 3d in coast)
http://www.mothercare.com/gp/product/B000T6VZOU/sr=1-5/qid=1209848954/ref=sr_1_5/203-1559180-1791965?ie=UTF8&m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&n=44352031&mcb=core
Noticed that they are having new colours for this season and ours isnt being continued!! Mothercare have low stock (dont know if it has anything to do with discontiuing) and gonna pop into fenwick on monday and ask, as these are the only two places local to me who sell our colour!!!

People are noticing i'm pregnant!!!! I'm getting a bump!!!:wohoo:

YAY i cant wait for people to actually start to notice instead of looking at my tummy with a puzzled look on their face lol

yaaaaaaaay a bump!!!! your getting there now! nearly half way

13+6 weeks

Well i'm moving over to the second tri, already posted in there and its nearly time anyway.

Managed to get my pram sorted today, discovered if you put it on the nursery plan in mothercare they will keep it for you even if its discontinued.
(Although mothercare couldnt say when it was getting discontinued)

Walking round metrocentre you could see people looking at my little bump!!!
It is great girls, when you can see you have a bump! And people dont have that puzzled look!!

Awww that is wonderful! I can't wait for people to notice my bump and not think I am just getting chubby.

Yay for the 2nd Trimester! :hug::hug:

im glad everythings going so well

14+2 weeks

Had a really bad day yesterday, had pains really low down all day!! :cry: Just thinking they are stretching and growing pains, as we have to grow and stretch right!?
Anyway pains havnt returned, but have what i think is a virus, started Tuesday!! :hissy:
I hate feeling ill, and having to be ill and having pains whilst being at work is the worst!!! :hissy:

Anyway off for 2 days :happydance: so gonna visit family tomorrow as i havnt seen them in ages and they only live a couple of miles away, and let my mam fuss (its what she does best!) Then i'll let OH take charge on Sat, so gonna relax! x

14+4 weeks

Well, the days just arnt passing quickly enough!!! I'm getting more and more impatient!!! :hissy:
Waiting to feel LO move, wanting a doppler (OH says he doesnt, will be more cause to worry - I'm thinking reassurance!) Nursery being decorated, house being finished...... the list goes on!

Stupid virus is still having an effect (if thats what it is!) It seems to be worse in the morning/evening?!

Fell yesterday, hurt my foot! Stupid me!! Think i'm just having a bad week!!
Even worse ive got 2 back to back sleep-ins from tomorrow!!:hissy:

AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! :hissy:
Ordered Angelsounds pink on Sat night from ebay, at work all day sunday till this morning, logged on and i've recieved a note from seller to say - she's still continuing with the sale but all her items have been removed!!! (Due to complaint from other seller!)
I hope this sale goes well after all the trouble with ebay at the moment - I should have listened!!! :hissy:

Nearly 15 weeks!!!! got 2 weeks till i see midwife and 6 till we have our next scan!! I'm getting really excited, lying in bed at night now waiting for Beanie to move!!
I seem to have lost my confidence over the past week or so, cant put my finger on why, but i'm starting to nit pick and panic over the slightest things!! So :hugs: for me! Bless the OH, came home from work to give me a :hugs:!!

OMG i've just got my pink angelsounds, and found Beanies heartbeat right away!!!!:wohoo: Think it might become an addiction!!:blush:

15+2 weeks

Weighed myself and i'm shocked to discover i havn't gained any weight!!!
Things are going well, midwife and scan dates are getting closer and cant believe next tues i'll be 16 weeks, its just flown!!

Anyway, thought it was about time so i've booked the dog in to get his bits done!! Next friday is c day!!! Lets just hope it calms him down!

15+5 weeks

Aww, what a loverly day. It was my baby nephew's christening! Me and Oh are now officially Godparents both for the first time!!:happydance:

Been looking at photo's (mam was in charge of camera duty!) and in most of the i'm holding bump!! I knew i'd done it but not that often!!!!:blush:

Oh's DD came last night, with a bundle of cute neutral clothes, so with the ones ive bought over the past couple of days - dont think we'll be buying clothes till we find out the sex!

So :sleep:, here i come, work again tomorrow.

Awwww god parents, what an honor!!!

I haven't gained any weight either hun, don't worry, baby will get what it needs regardless. Just take care of yourself :happydance:

16+1 weeks

Well last couple of days have gone well for me, been to a physio class and was given an elastic support to hopefully help with back pain :cry: and booked in for exercise class with the physio's! Looking forward to meeting other mammy's to be!
Today its back to the hospital for 3pm, got to see a consultant for obstetrics as i have duplex kidney (x3 kidneys!). So will see if it poses any problems.

Good luck at hospital today. I hope the support helps your back xxx

I've also had my 16/17 week check with midwife today, I have a really nice midwife (just thought i would tell everyone!!) Everything is going fine.

Cant believe i'm 18 weeks already!!! My the time has flown!
Not feeling Beanie move as much as i want too, but i guess it will come!!
Been to my first aquanatal class yesterday, really good, looking forward to go again!
Had a dream last night, Beanie was a girl! Woke up a tad dissapointed!! Although i keep saying i have no preference ( so glad we dont get to choose!) i think secretly i've been hoping for a boy!! 3 weeks till next scan so will hopefully find out!!:happydance:

18 + 6 weeks

Wow, went for kfc tonight sitting in drive through and i think i felt beanie's first kick! :cloud9:

Hopefully if you're dead busy at work the week will fly by and it will be soon time to see beany!!!

x

Hey there, just read through your journal, your scan day will be here really soon, but I hope busy work doesn't take too much out of you xx

20+1 weeks

Well, thats half of the work week over with now, start again on Friday :hissy:
Gett:hissy:ing really sick of work now, just cant be bothered!! 14 weeks to go!!:happydance:

Well, going to start looking into SMP as i know thats what i'll get, but in works policies i've read i'll have to pay some back if i decide not to return - where reading other things from DWP + other sorces it says i wont have to!! Bloody confusing :huh:

Well, off to get some munchies :munch:

OMG you'll have to pay some back? Who said that your work? I didnt think that you had to .. eeek

20+4 weeks

:wohoo: I saw beanie kick today, just by my belly button!!!

2 sleeps to go till we hopefully find out if beanie is a prince or a princess!!!

OMG you'll have to pay some back? Who said that your work? I didnt think that you had to .. eeek

Just looked....
Its in their policies and procedures that if i dont go back any for at least 12 weeks i will have to repay any £ over statutory entitlement to mat pay??? But why would they pay over?? :dohh: Still going to get advice on this.
If i dont have to go back, i dont think i will return. There will be alot of changes when i'm away - people moving on and reconfigurement.
I do want to go back to work but just not there. Not enjoying this job like i did my old one. - Wow can u tell this is bothering me??? :hissy:

Im getting reaaaaaally tempted not to go back either hun, id like to spend some time at home with LO.

Maybe not go back to your old job and find a new one once your ready?

20+5 weeks

OMG, 1 more sleep to go..........................Scan tomorrow :wohoo:

So excited i couldnt sleep last night, today was never ending.

9am tomorrow, I don't think I've been so excited in my life!! ( well apart from everything pregnancy related :rofl:)

Best of luck for today!! Can't wait to hear if it's a prince / princess bean!! :D

20+6 weeks

21+1 weeks

What a day yesterday, the whole day seemed to be one long rant - extended from the previous days!!

Bloody big rant now edited!!

Anyway gonna get ready gonna go shopping and have starbucks with my mate. x

21+2 weeks

Well, I've calmed down abit from yesterday.
:blush: Done some more baby shopping whilst in town yesterday, a cute comforter, sleepsuits and bibs - my thoughts you can never have enough bibs!!
Sorted new laptop, so its now connected to the net, sick of trying to sort it out had a few :hissy: moments!!
Oh, dont think it will be long before OH will be able to feel LO kick, he was giving me some huge kicks in bed last nite - just missing OH's hand :dohh:

Well, I'm gonna go and raid the fridge, I'm starving!!

22 + 4 weeks

Wow, lasted a week without checking in!! Been at work constantly this week. Time to relax now off for two weeks. OH is going to start the nursery.

Scared yesterday, realised i hadnt felt LO move all morning! Stuck at work so couldnt use doppler to check all was ok. But after expressing concern to OH, about 30 mins later LO decided to give me a good boot!!

Finished sleep-in this morning and just relaxed the weather is foul and LO has been kicking away!!
Everythings going well, even me and OH have stopped picking at each other!!

Always the way hun .... they dont move, you panic then they give you a little dig as if to say haha mum i was just hiding!!

22 + 5 weeks

Well first thing tomorrow i'm off to Doc's to put sample i for UTI - i'm supposed to put them in monthly but forgot :dohh: Now i'm having trouble!! Peeing loads and alot of twinges like when i last had trouble with UTI and kidney infections!!

Things are going well just moved LO's stuff into lounge, put it behing settee so dog cant get to it - so i'm practically sitting in the middle of the room!! OH is going to decorate this week.

OH's DD picked up LO's bouncer today, its so cute :cloud9:
http://www.toysrus.co.uk/ProductImages.aspx?ProdId=711209

Cant wait till OH has done the room so i can put everything together and make it a really cute nursery for our LO!!

OMG, this is just so scary.

My cousin didnt tell anyone but she fell ova yesterday. This morning she shouted of her mam. She was bleeding.
Took her to hopsital - she's in early labour!!! She's 29 weeks!!
Gave her steroid injection - think for baby. And of all things she's gone home!!! Has to go back tomorrow for more steroid injection and check up.

Hospital said she will hav a c-section at one of 2 hospitals depending on what kind of care they think baby is going to need. She still has 10/11 weeks to go!!

Really feel like a good :cry: (she's only about 6 weeks ahead of me). I do hope everything turns out ok.

I think its just brought home how easy it is for something to go wrong - guess I just didnt allow myself to think of these things - too busy baby and car shopping ( well today! )

23 + 2 weeks

Wow, dont think weve spent so much money in one afternoon!!

New car :wohoo: and pine furniture for LO's room ( to be delivered a week tomorrow :yipee: )
New car means i dont have to climb in the jeep from tomorrow afternoon, i can just slide into my new BMW ( got to remember - less headroom :dohh: keep smacking my head!!)

My not so little bump feels rather sensitive today - wonder if LO was kicking lots last nite??

24 + 1 weeks

:yipee: Another milestone reached!! 24 weeks and 'viable'.

LO is moving so much more, today me and OH even felt him kicking when i was standing up!!! Never really felt LO when not chilling and been up and about.

:hissy::hissy::hissy: Haven't been on properly recently, been rather P**sed off!! Never cried so much over a whole weekend. And it had nothing to do with some good friends getting married.

Picked new car up on Friday and all was fine. Till Friday night and we could ONLY get drivers door to open!! Had to bloody climb over from drivers side to passenger side!!!
Went to BMW garage to be told it was interference with the remote and they had had a few complaints about this. Came home, climbed out, what a sight!!

To cut a very long story short the car will only open all doors once - in the morning!!! Had to climb over into passenger side from drivers side for days, or be stranded. Even been leaving OH and getting the bus when out and about when i could or leaving car open, as climbing has put me in so much pain.
So we are now using the courtesy car till BMW is fixed - so happy i dont have to climb!!!!

:cry: Was in so much pain last nite, i was fearing the worst. Pains in back and stomach - had a bath and went to bed. Just back pain today - not suprised with all of the stupid climbing in and out of the car!!

Definatly going to take it easy the next couple of days - back to work on Monday :hissy:

24 + 4 weeks

Well, i'll have to post some pic's soon. We have nearly completed the Nursery!!!! :happydance: Just need cot from mam's house (on sunday) and to buy the mattress and sofa bed!
I really dont know what i'm going to do for the next 3 months. I really hope it flys by.

9 weeks left at work been off for two weeks and really dreading going back on Monday, I dont wanna :hissy:

Baby bump is coming along nicely and moving regularly. Midwife check-up on Tuesday, havn't have a check-up in 2 months so hope all goes well.

Wow, a whole lot has happened since i last wrote here.

At work the other nite, just doing general chores around the house - ended up having loads of braxton hicks one after another with no break in between. Really scary experience. It hasnt happened since but started to slow down even more, doesnt help that i'm working the longest shifts and am getting so tired.

Looked after my little nephew at the weekend. Ended up going to OH's family for lunch. Poor baby was having a winge day, he has just getten first 2 teeth, has been constipated and wanted a cuddly day.
Bloody poeple :hissy: basically said i didnt know how to look after a baby!!!
Well they can go F**K themselves!!! :hissy:
I know how to look after my nephew :baby: and will be the best mother to my son. :blue:

OH is at work at the mo, last day shift. He starts night shift on monday permanently. :muaha:

Cant wait for the next 5 1/2 weeks to be over. :cry:

Got a txt form work yesterday, asking if i would extend my 4 hr shift to a 12 hour shift!!! To work on my own supporting 5 people!! WTF??? :hissy:
Do they not realise i already do enough?? I work sleep ins a 15 hr shift, 4 of that on my own with 6 people, i may get a few hours sleep and get up to do another 3 hrs before i can go home?? And at the min, i'm doing this twice a week plus an 9 hr day shift on top!! :hissy:
I'm soo mad, cant wait for my leave i'm counting down the days!!!

28 + 1 weeks

Well, i thought I'd do a quick post before i go to bed.

OH is on night shift, dog is unsettled and whinging cause his daddy is not here!! :hissy:

Finished work yesterday at 10am, OH picked me up, later went out and seen midwife too. All's going well with LO, measuring fine. She took bloods. Now starting to wonder if I'm low on iron and is that why I'm feeling sooo sooo tired??? Will soon find out if Dr's ring in the next couple of days. :cry:

Really don't know how I'm going to cope with just under 5 weeks left at work. :cry: Doesn't seem a lot but the long sleep ins, on my feet all day and being mentally drained, its starting to get me down. Its all i can think about at the mo. :cry::cry: < this is all i want to do!!
I haven't thought about anything for LO, nearly bit OH's head off when we went to order the cot bed and he walked away without selecting mattress!!!!:blush:

Anyway im going to go to bed got to be up at 6am for another looonnnggg sleep in.

29 + 1 weeks

Really wasnt well yesterday, about 7pm started to feel sick, dizzy and had the shakes. Luckly finished work at 8pm and got taxi home. Ended up going straight to bed around 8.15pm.
Still not feeling too good today but a bit better than yesterday.

Wow, new cot bed arrived this morning - so exciting :happydance: OH is going to put it up tomorrow when i'm at work.

Been shopping too, got a lovely sleepsuit, more nappies and some baby milk!!

Got a busy night tonight going to clear the space in the bedroom for the cot, :dishes: :laundry: :hangwashing: and fish to clean out. :iron: the bedding for the cot too, so i can make it up on friday when i get in from work.

Well i think i'll watch Hollyoaks first!!

:yipee:10 WEEKS TO GO!!!!:yipee:

Finished work last Friday and told them i wasn't going in on Sat, still feeling like s**t!!
Not too well still, had bad pains (side of bump low down) but Dr recons it's 'little roo' wriggling away and making muscles sore and i might have a urine infection!!
So back to work on Thurs :dohh: Although only 3 weeks left at work to go!!! :wohoo:

Paid for our pram yesterday, had a play with the one in the shop 2!! OH figured out how to attach the car seat when we (me and OH's DD) couldn't!! :blush:

Babies room is pretty much finished - only thing we hav'nt got is the sofa bed - OH keeps changing his mind!! Men, eh!!:rofl:

Great tip for restless legs especially when your shattered - bouncing/rocking on the birthing/GYM ball!!!

31+2 weeks

Bless my OH :hugs:
He's now on night shift but continues to get up and take me to and from work, mostly early mornings too and this morning made me brekkie as i was running late. I made a small passing comment about no time and no energy to get everything done, go to work, come home and our flat is spotless!!! :cloud9:

Had midwife appointment on Tues, bump measuring fine, baby fine, mummy fine. LO has his head down and his feet in my ribs - at least he's the right way round :rofl: even if it can hurt!!!

Not much else happening, only 5 shifts left at work :happydance:

32+1 weeks

Blooming heck am i sore!!! :cry:

Had hospital appointment for kidney check today, all fine till the 2 Dr's decided to have a feel!!
He was karate chopping my poor bump to show her where the top of the uterus should be at different stages of pregnancy!! Then they were trying to work out which way babba is lying.
Turns out they dissagreed, he said breech and wrote it in my notes, she said head down which is the way he has been for weeks now, although he is still free to turn. Who knows??
Oh, and then he goes and assumes were going to the hospital to have baby?? WTF??? I have 3 kidneys, all working perfectly well, UTI free for at least 3 years inc pregnancy!
So i asked what he thought??
Yup, I'm fine to go to midwife unit - so why all the fuss??

Well Monday my pram arrived :yipee:
3721 3722 3723
Its set up and ...............still in the nursey!!! :wohoo:
I really dont want it to go to my mam's house, i want to keep it here - they're only old wives tales.

Tuesday (yesterday) we had our second antinatal class and tour of the midwife led unit. OMG , it is so nice. Brilliant birthing equiptment - i cant find a pic!! A birthing ball - fixed to the floor (so i cant fall off), a rope harness type thing to hang on to a stool and chair!! It's so relaxed, you get your own room, partners and other children can stay beyond visiting, i could go on....

Finished packing babba's hospital bag tonight, although will probably add to it - preferably blue things. ( when we have our next scan 29th sept, i'm going to confirm babba is a boy before washing blue things!) need to a dummy's too. Just got to pack my bag now!!

I mean I know its an old wives tale about keeping pram in the house but we have decided to keep ours at home!
So mam decides to tell me about someone who lost their LO :cry: at a few days old and they had kept their pram in the house!!
:dohh: Do not say this to someone pram in the house or not!!! Jesus!!! :hissy:

I mean I've been overly emotional for days and :cry: at the drop of a hat, last thing I need is my mam talking like this.

All i really needed was a :hugs:

Blooming braxton hicks!!! Started this morning. Had a few throughout the day :hissy:
I'm feeling soo uncomfortable a combination of the hicks and bump feeling heavy.
Really tired ATM, could just :sleep: for ever but cant get comfy or just cant sleep full stop!!
Guess its the wonderful 3rd tri niggles for me!!

Nursery is officially compleate - picking up throw's for sofa bed tomorrow :happydance:
Hospital bags are packed, just odds and sods to go in last minute.

Just need to start 'nesting' - need to find the energy first!!

Not long left to go now!!

The time is stating to fly by, every time I go to update this something happens and then i forget :dohh:

So much has happened, had scan for placenta position. All fine, so can have the birth I want at the birth centre, babba is definitely a boy!!

Everything for babba is ready, clothes are washed and ironed.
Sis rang yesterday and is sorting out clothes and bits and bobs for baby 'A'.
He's head down but not engaged yet, so have decided to take a walk everyday with the dog - so i dont become lazy :blush: Started today and dog is covered in mud and had to put my £75 trainers in the wash :dohh: - who in their right mind takes dog for a walk with good trainers on :dohh:

Its all getting so exciting but scary!! Under 4 weeks till 'D' day and babba should be here in less than 6 weeks!!
