MSE Pregnancy Club 28

arbrighton - added you to the list and also newthrift - I think I remember you were 9 days behind me which makes your EDD 30th June - I hope I have calculated that correctly?

As cats2012 has posted most days over the last few weeks and nothing today I'm really hoping no news for us is good news for her!

As for me, we are hopefully finally starting the last few bits of work to the house and garden that we wanted to get done before baby / before we sell. The house was in a pretty poor state when we bought it and our plan has always been to do it up and then sell to get somewhere bigger once children started arriving. It will actually be fine for 1 baby/toddler (2 big bedrooms, 1 small) and possibly 1 toddler and 1 baby but that would be my absolute limit before moving on. Especially as it's on a very fast country lane and I am terrified of the road + toddlers...

The last couple of bits are the stairs (currently pretty open - need banisters!), downstairs loo (currently 70s style) and finally removing our front garden to expand the driveway to create more flexible off-road parking space. Our joiner to do the stairs and downstairs loo has given us a start date next week and then the landscaper is starting mid-late April (no confirmed date yet). Can't wait for it all to be complete! Hoping the disruption won't be too hectic...

Hi,

May I be added to the list, please? 12th June for us

That's what I'm hoping, too! I know the whole due date thing is pretty much guesswork, but when you've been told a date and you go over it, it's horrendous!

Massive congrats, cuidadosa! My girl was 2.55kg and she was teeny enough - I can't begin to imagine your boys! I hope they are growing and thriving x

I have to say, I'm going to go against the grain a bit here and, yes, I do have heartburn (though I think I remember it worse in my last pregnancy?), and yes I do wake up with restless legs (thankfully not cramp yet!) in the morning - BUT, I am sleeping right through till morning! I can't remember when I started to get up during the night last time, but once I'm asleep, that's pretty much me till the morning. I am waking up slightly earlier than usual, but that never hurt anyone! I think I've discovered my second trimester energy!

I'm also still able to put socks on and do up my shoes - though it does take a bit longer if he's lying at the top of my bump! :rotfl:

Speaking of bump, he had quite a few fits yesterday - my belly was moving like mad and it tickled as well! Made me giggle

OH and I had a few days off towards the end of last week, so we spent it in the garden. Him shovelling mud from the pile left from the decking - and me holding the bag open and feeling like an extra wheel We were at the garden centre loads and are the proud new owners of more litres of compost than I could care to admit! He built a couple of wooden planters and I painted them. Then we planted the bedding plants and grasses that we bought. Then he told me off for daring to lift half a bag of decorative stones - I felt like a child

Hope everyone is doing well, and fingers crossed for cats!

Congratulations Cats and eeeeeeeeeeeeek by the sounds of it. Hope you have a good night

Congratulations Cats. Glad to hear you are both doing well, that's the main thing!

Congratulations Cats, glad to hear you and baby are doing well.

Snow you got my due date right, thank you very well remembered, I have full on baby brain at times and forget the simplest of things - which does lead to a lot of paranoia at work and triple checking stuff haha.

I can get the socks and shoes on but I have to be sat down and usually put my foot on to the other leg. Funny how the simplest of tasks become difficult. I actually felt proud of being able to still shave my legs in the bath last night, DH has already been told he'll have to do it near the end, oh the glamour :rotfl:
