Persephone goodluck with monday scan. I think being a teacher means a lack of name options too
Neptune glad to hear they get better (men)
Grub glad to see at 30wks you're still canoodeling with DH Hope you find something to keep you happy this weekend, When's DH back. Chocolate helps, so does nice oil in the oil burner.
Saph what a beautiful name.
Azz congratulations
Poppyfairy, hope the iron boost does the tric
BOC I hope you're looking after yourself.
Oh Murph hope Jazzy has a big growth spirt. Funny I feel quite small too it's been playing on my mind. Glad you're getting lots of good care.
KellyD goodluck with the 2 sleeps to go. So so so exciting.
MissMagpie yaya hope you're enjoying your maternity leave nice to have time to do the last bit of nesting.
Bella how exciting all went well with scan.
ATM: few it's the weekend finally for me. Really tired and menally burnt out. Good week but so full on, Lots to do at work.
I baught a cot! and some other cute things which was nice, it all feels real. Was so excited to reach the 24 week mark. Saw the OB and she seamed to think I was lying about how much Squeak kicks well as she put the doppler on me, Squeak booted it! perfect timing little one, so she ate her hat.
I love the movement but it is so distracting, seams to go 2 days loads of movement 2 days just a little, wonder if it's growth stuff, booked in for my sweet drink in 4 weeks Hope it's all ok, feeling ok but who knows. The weeks are flying buy.
Oh odd craving of the week, Toast+Bacon+Honey, I stopped myself but boy I felt like it hehehe
Murph - How frustrating for you with your local hospital. I bet you can't wait to get back there and give them the BIG 'I told you so!!!!!' Now you have the big hospital on your side Jazz and you can get the support you both need.
Greenslw - love the kicking the doppler! Classic! I was just going to say I haven't been getting big kicks and that minute I got a massive painful kick!!! They are more clued in then we think!!! Go for it with the bacon and honey! I am a vege and that even sounds nice to me!!
Kelly - Good luck with the delivery! Glad you have come to a decision about the grandparent thing. What sort of sling did you get? I got a close parent carrier which is like the hug-a-bub and apparently that can be used while you do stuff about the house as well
Seph - good luck with your scan!
Miss Magpie- enjoy your leave!
Grub - You treat yourself while DH is away!!! Keep busy and hopefully the days go quicker. It is bad enough though counting down the weeks of pregnancy and now you have to count down until he gets back. Hugs. It is just all waiting this game isn't it?
BOC and Bella - good results from your scans and checkups!
Everyone else Hello!!!! and belly rubs
AFM - Had my first antenatal class yesterday. Was hoping it would be a chance to make some friends here (we only moved to this town a few months ago) but have never been in a room with such a miserable lot!! DH and I were surpressing giggles at all the 'rude' information like descriptions of perineum massage (immature I know but we had to get some fun out of it!) and everyone else was so poker faced. I felt like the naughty kids at school. The midwife even tried to make some jokes and DH and I were the only ones that laughed!
Today we went on a tour of the labour ward and some even more depressing people were on that! DH and I told off our bub afterwards and asked him why he decided to be born at the same time that the most boring people on earth were also giving birth!!
The labour ward tour was good though. It seems they have as their 'policy' all the things I want from a birth. They routinely do skin-to-skin contact straight after the birth and encourage the baby doing the breast crawl. They don't do any weighing or anything (unless an emergency) until you have had an hour to cuddle. They also let the cord stop pulsing before cutting and don't force you to have injections for the birth of the placenta. They also actively encourage active and upright births. They have aromatherapy and ensure the room is dimly lit and quiet. They have all the birthing balls and pools and low couches etc. Really good for an NHS public hospital!
Our room is now almost a nursery. DH put the shelf up for bub's nappies and stuff and took the mirror off the dressing table that is going to be our change table and moved it into position. The baby hammock is still packed away as it is too early yet for that I cannot wait to wash and fold his little clothes. I think I will do that at 30 weeks. It is still early but I will use the excuse of dwindling sunlight and cold air for doing it then. the clocks go back here soon and it will be dark at 4:30pm and too cold and dark to be hanging stuff outside and I want the clothes to get the disinfecting effect of sunlight.
Sorry for the long me bit but lots of exciting things to share. Well I am excited!!!
OMG KELLY ONLY 1 MORE SLEEP
i dont know how your feeling but im excited even woke straight up today and said to my dh were having a baby tomoorow in our group yay
hope you get some rest tonight hun (yeh rite ) and have the most beautiful day tomorrow wow its your turn sweety after all this time and everything you have been through ,just look at your ticker and NOW, your having a beautiful baby IM SO PROUD .
Oh Greenslw... don't feel bad about the craving, my preggy friend recently got me hooked on raisin toast topped with bacon & maple syrup and although I was a little shocked at first it was yuuuuummmmmm!
Just a quick one today, I just had to share. Shortly after my ramble yesterday I went and laid down for a nap. While I was laying there I started getting this pushy, pressure-like feeling at the very front of where Cookie is. Then it stopped, then a few minutes later it started again & stopped again. All of a sudden I got these bubbly little tap-tap-taps happening! So clear and so very exciting I was in tears of happiness! I know it's still early and I'll probably have to wait a few weeks for some good whacks but it's just great, the most awesome feeling ever! Can't wait for the big goalie-or-ballerina kicks to start!
Hope you all have a great rest of your weekend! Good luck for tomorrow Kelly!!!
YAY BOC HOW EXCITING HUN tell you what hun ive been thinking of you this weekend in the strangest way the v8 super cars are on mt panorama and theres a care sponserd by BOC it makes me laugh everytime i see the car i always think of you hahahahaha ...i know im so silly

I'm back. Finally. So good to see everyone still here and CONGRAD'S!!!!! to everyone who has had their little darlings.
I have been through some god-awful ****e but everything is ok now. Started out with a failed root-canal and ended up with me in hospital with bright red urine (full of blood) and kidneys that werent working properly. I did not think I was going to be having this baby and was too scared to log on or post.
HOWEVER, thats all over now, I'm fit as a fiddle, kidneys are fine and baby is going great guns. I will be 17 weeks this coming friday and I am overjoyed. I even allowed myself to buy some baby clothes and nappies
I really am so grateful and happy to be posting again. Hugs to everyone.
oh that's just so wonderful sammiejam!!! let's hope it's all smooth sailing from here on in lovely. oxoxox
all is quiet here. thanks for all your support girls! had a resonable weekend. didn't sweet FA lol.. oh i went to big dub and spend $200 on baby stuff, fat lady pants and stuff for our hospy stay.
Poppyfairy - you inspired me with the early packing, but i'm waiting til 34 weeks to finally sort it out. that's when i finish work so should be easier on the clothes front.

I'v given in a few times,,, but you should see the sad little face i get when i say no! jack russels sure know how to work the guilts on you! if the dog can manipulate me, imagine what a toddler will do!!! eeeekekkkkk

Hope you find something to keep you happy this weekend, When's DH back. Chocolate helps, so does nice oil in the oil burner.
