    i know, but feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    really need to get so much done before i go off and that doesn't even touch the everyday stuff. just not enough hours in the day.

    then need to sort things out at home. i know i haven't ordered the crib yet becuase the room isn't ready and i am ready for bed when hubby leaves for work at night.

    AF - I've fb'd you, but I'll say a bit here too. The following should be heard in your head as my best Mummy/Teacher voice :cool:
    If your struggling make sure you speak up and tell someone!
    anything you can delegate away do so!
    :D Just looking out for my fave :Afairy :D

    Thanks Tinkerbell. I tested +ive Dec 3rd but must have been a way gone by then and then had to wait a few weeks for midwife to come. NHS for you. I'm at Llandough. Haven't decided where to have the baby yet but OH likes Llandough compared to the Heath.

    It turns out I'm only gonna have one scan now as I'm so far along. Next appointment isn't until June which is ages away. Scary how quick it's going. Glad everythings Ok after the bleeding I get occassionally.

    How r u? Are you showing yet? I can't wait to start feeling it?

    x
    Jvic did they not tell you to book an app with your MW at the GPs? coz they should have :cool: your appointment for june will be to discuss induction but you should be seeing the community MWs at GPs from now on, you should book ur next appointment for around 24wks :D

    Thanks Sami, i have seen your message :D:D

    My heart is telling me the exact same thing, but my head is telling me different. My colleague is under the same pressure as me and looks out for me very well, telling me that i am doing too much.

    I just want to get a clear head and feel in control a bit more and i think that would be good for bubs and me.

    Just doesn't help when you dont work for a company who are that on the ball re staffing or understanding what is going on in their offices.

    "don't expect this baby to come early. Your baby is nice and comfy tucked away in your womb and has no interest in joining the rest of the world. We predict your baby will be born after its due date. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 6.5 pounds and that your labor will be about 8 hours long."

    Pah!!! considering the by the longest measurement my last labour was 6hrs 57mins, It so won't be that long :cool:
    and they've just said bubs will weigh the same as Chris which is likely

    Random thought whilst I was washing my hair.. Krystaltips, how are you getting on with your new shorter haircut? :)

    Every few years I seem to have six inches chopped off my hair and completely restyled then let it grow again. It's currently down to my bra strap so I'm thinking it's time for a drastic cut - then it's got time to grow long enough so I can clip it up and forget about it when baby is here! :D

    Going to go to bed with a hair mag and look for ideas... Night night all xx

    It's great! It went from being down to my bottom... To just past my shoulder... Short enough to be a real change (although one of the people I see most often has not even commented on it!) but still long enough to stick in a bobble if I can't be bothered to [strike]wash[/strike] straighten it... (I also couldn't go too short cos hubby loved my long hair and he was gutted I was having it cut off... But he didn't have to live with it...)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • I'm going to be 1-2 weeks early, with 81/2 pound baby and a 12 hour labour!
  • Oh Natalie - I am so glad I am at home alone today so I could sob my way through all your pictures with gasps of 'oh bless him' - I am so pleased that thomas is doing so well and gaining weight. Love to you all xxx


    Bekki - he is a proper cutie - I love the one with the big yawn!!


    I am having a crying day today - had a shower this morning then collapsed in floods at the prospect of driving myself to work :o

    I think I am mostly tired - the thought of everything that I have to get done over the next week or so is very daunting and I didn't want to risk getting stuck in the snow (which is now melting in the sunshine :rolleyes: )


    Millies mum - I am due 2nd march and am due to work until 38 weeks - lets hope Bubba has the same ideas as me!!

    Luc - was wondering about you the other day, what a carppy time to be made redundant, hugs to you.

    10 hour labour, 8lb8 baby... After my due date...

    Could go either way really... My Mum had big babies... So did my sister... And Aimee was nearly 9lb... But hubby was 6lb6 and his brother was small too... his 2 sisters were 3lb something and born early because they weren't growing... But then his mother drank and smoked excessively through their pregnancies...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
