Well the energy burst wiped me out eswift and I ended up having a long nap.

Harmonybunny ouch hmmmm not a good thing electrocution it hurts!

Now i'm alone tonight so do I dig through the cupboards for dinner (not done the shopping this week yet) or be naughty and buy take away?

Maffie ~ I attempted a chinese tonight, I got home a little late and OH is so tired but I couldn't eat it all! argh! All this hunger and so little room lol!


I was given £50 to spend this week which is a treat! Petrol and cat bikkies came out of it first. I went to ASDA on the way home and couldn't resist buying a new sleep outfit for LO Its cute and has a baby Taz on it I was tempted to buy a sleeping bag with Taz on too but they only had 3-6 month size left and I was worried by that time that the tog would have been too much, hmmm on reflection, January maybe not. Ah well, I will pop back when I have a spare £10. I also got a brush and comb set and a nail scissor set for LO too. Going to boots to get some nappies and the free changer bag tomorrow.

Hi everyone, hope we've all had a good day!

The check up went well...the midwife was a little 'dizzy' but she was really nice and got blood out of me pretty much straight away.....which I was impressed with! lol

She checked me over and said that everything is fine - woohoo Just got to wait for the bloods to come back and then we should be good to go. Still have 5 days more until we're full term but all being well we're on course for a water birth! (They've even said that if my iron is still low, they'll up my dose and try again at 38 weeks via the community MW!! ) Also, they've made me my next appointment which is for 41 weeks for a stretch and sweep.....scary to think that my next appointment will be to bring the baby on, rather than just check vitals!


Btw We did leave the notes in the car so had to go to York, pick them up, then drive to hull! Never mind - but over an hour and a half in the car brought on some fabulous BH's!!!!

Anyhoo, hubby is cooking tea at the moment, tex mex tonight.....drat forgot to ask for sweetcorn! Grrr best catch him quick.

Night girls!!

im so fed up tonight lol...

iv all of a sudden gone in a fowl mood, and extremely tired. My boobies are soo sore and leaking a little, my fairy feels like dexter is trying to rip it open! and ever movement he makes hurts! getting braxton hicks near pubic bone that hurts =[

Well Chinese is ordered, shouldn't of wasted the money but OH is out having fun before going back to work and I cant be bothered with cooking.

I can certainly feel baby moving right down in my lady bits, might have to get on my ball in a bit!

Told mum about my energy burst and she thinks baby will come next week

Hey ladies! Finally managed to get back onto the internet for the night as I have come to work with OH. Well have had an interesting 2 weeks. Am on twice weekly midwife visits as my blood pressure was high. Has come down a bit now so if it is ok Saturday and Wednesday I can drop to once weekly visits. Had a growth scan last week and he was weighing 5lb 11oz. He is still head down but is now not engaged at all cheeky little monkey. In alot of pain and just wishing he would come out now. Been 7 weeks since I lost my plug so you would think he would make his appearance soon. Having some very painful BH so hoping it wont be too much longer. Right I'm gonna go grab some food and I will be back.

Taylorsmummy: sounds like your sweep is starting to take effect; let'shope it wont be too much longer & that if/when you do go into labour, it'll be hassle free & speedy.

Lindak: I keep having flashes of drems where my LO is born & I'm filled with such a HUGE joy & then I wake up hot n sweaty in my bed & it's like, 'dammit!' lol. But I also keep having a recurring dream where the midwife delivers the baby & then puts him strsight on my chest & I forget to hold him & he slides off & smashes like a glass on the floor; freaking terrifies me. I have now added in my birth plan that he's got to be wrapped up before I hold him & that OH has to hold him first then hand him to me coz I know 100% he wont let go unless he knows I've fully got him; silly I know, but I just can't shake it.

Kte: thanks for letting us know about Bonfloss. Hope she's okay!!!!

Harmonybunny: had to LOL @ your laptop charger incident Defo preggo brain moment!

Cahos & Sam76; I can't believe you guys have less than a week nbow till your due dates. It has gone sooooo quick! Scary quic, but man, you must be so excited. Good luck for on-time deliveries!

Everyone else: hope you're all doing ok & not in too much discomfort. To put it bluntly, my fanny aches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been getting a lot of non-painful BH at the top of my bump area, but also some sharp, scratching/stbbing like pains down in my vagina area, like LO is trying to claw hs way out. I know that's impossible, and is probablt just the head engaging more & putting pressure on my pelvis & nerves etc, but man, it totally stops me in my tracks when I get it, which was about 10-15 times today... Oh well, 2 weeks to go till Edd. I can't believe how fast this whole thing has gone; even though the last few weeks are dragging like hell, for me, this pregnancy has passed with the blink of an eye & I thanks the stars I haven't had any major issues.

to everyone & night night to those asleep & to those with preggy insomnia.

Morning Girls...

Ok it's still dark outside, the dogs scouting in the back garden. Think he's looking for the hedgehog he was harrassing last night... Poor thing, it comes back each and every Autumn; I'm not sure why as the dog is a pain to it... The hedgehog hides under the shed, whilst the dog yaps at it... So far he's quiet... (That didn't last long, hehehe; I'm such a bad neighbour...)

OH is still at work and I've an hour until DS will be up... So it's not worth going back to bed... The walk around the secondary school was hmmm a hassle... I managed just over an hour... I had enough by then they were trying to show us each and every section area 17 in total (we managed 6 in the hour) I was hungry, uncomfy and struggling with the up and down stairs. I really didn't fancy still trailing around the school at 10pm... As it was by the time we got tea and DS to bed it was 10pm anyway... I was shattered... More to the point DS is gonna be so tired at school today... Poor Kid...

Mind you I slept reasonably well, LOL from about 11 until 4 ish... Ended up with the need to pee... LOL no rest for the wicked...

XTaylorsMummy ~ How you doing???

Hope Taylorsmummy and Bonfloss are ok.

I have been having contractions every day for a few hours then they disappear again. Soooo tiring!

Had my m/w appointment yesterday, everything is fine.
He has finally started to engage, only 5/5 and brim, but because he's my 2nd, that could mean he's on his way, especially with the daily contractions.

When I woke up for my 3rd pee of the night at 3am, I could feel him SO low down I was walking with my legs open.

I feel very tired this morning, like I am hung-over, but otherwise in no pain at all!!

These babies are teasing us all I think!

Have a nice day and weekend all xx

Morning

Harmonybunny - lol bless you with your charger! That is def something I would do glad your ok tho!

Taylorsmummy and bonfloss - hope your both doing ok!

Littlekitten - fx your bp comes down hun, not long to go now. Dont worry bout losing your plug so early it can re grow

Eswift - aw i'm not surprised you could only manage part of looking round the school, no one would get me walking up and down stairs now! Lol

Everyone else- hope your all ok sorry Im using my phone and takes me ages catch up, I cant remember it all lol!

Everything ok with me, been having some pains lately but im now thinking it could be baby engaging as I looked in mirror last night and my bump has really dropped now. At my last check he was just on the brim and that was just over 2 week ago.

I have my midwife visits at home now which is nice, she's coming sunday and will be doing another blood test, to check my iron. I need it to be higher to get my home birth so fx'd its up! It better be with how these iron tablets make me feel, I really dont like them!

I'm so tired now, finding it difficult looking after my little boy (he's nearly 2) on my own. My dad is in middle of moving house so not getting much help at min and caeden is certainly keeping me busy. I just dont have the energy tho! Not his fault I know, I feel so bad I cant play with him the same, poor thing!

Anyway I think he wants breakfast now. Have a nice day ladies xxx
