Good morning!

Still not managing more than. 2-6 hrs a night, been nearly 8 weeks of this now. Usually it's ok, but sometimes just makes me feel so sensitive and vulnerable and down. As if all my worst fears about labour, birth and being a new parent come out of the woodwork to laugh at me!

gonna have a cuppa and clean the kitchen.

Labour dust to all that would like it

Hugs to all who are feeling fragile.

Love weezl x

But ta for all the labour vibes, keep thinking it may just happen, but bump is just so staying put. 2nd sweep tomorrow, just hoping there been a change and it works. Will keep posting to keep all updated.

Labour vibes to you durham05!!

I have antenatal appointment today and the first time I have had to take DS2 with me. He is only 2 and a bit of a handful so hoping he behaves himself and everything is fine.

I am getting more and more worried about who will look after him when I have bubs. I am hoping my parents are around but I am due on 8th April and they go on holiday on 18th April. They also have a caravan and plan to be going down there most weekends from march which is over an hours drive away!! My MIL would look after him but would not be able to take time off from work. Mys sister lives near me but has just got a new dog that likes to bite so not happy with him going round there either. I will be glad when it is all over!!

Keeping my fingers crossed durham!

I got woken up by Aimee having a whinging fit this morning... The girl wakes up ridiculously early, I'm sure she's tired and needs to sleep more... Roll on the teenage years when I'm dragging her out of bed!

sls, I swear thats been the most stressful thing about this pregnancy 'who is going to look after Millie?' As it happens I know I'm going in for a section on monday so I have an idea when I need help and she will be at school most of the time, her schoolfriends mums are being brilliant as my MIL is on holiday and my parents don't live close.

How people do it when they have a pre schooler and don't know when they will need help is completely beyond me!

I am now hoping baby doesnt come late in case my mum is on holiday and that baby comes in the week so mum is at work which is only up the road. I am also worried about how he will be with my parents as they have only looked after him once and he was only 2 months old then!!

Well I'm awake... just about... slept ok but not great. Maybe the knowledge of having to go and see the nurse at 10:15 for them to poke MORE holes in me to get bloods has something to do with that...
I do hate looking like a pin cushion...
Roo is awake but did sleep late this morning... well for her anyway She didn't start bumbling around in there till about 8 which was lovely!
Labour vibes to all who need them and hugs to those who want them!

Wow Tine, keep your fingers crossed that Roo is a late sleeper when she arrives... I told hubby this morning, Baby was awake when I went to sleep... Was awake everytime I woke for a wee... and was awake at 6:30 when Aimee first came in this morning... I think I have another nocturnal one... <sob>

I just cried down the phone to hubby... My day has not started well... Aimee's been all sweetness and light for a minute, followed by a screaming shouting tantrum all morning... I was so thankful when my friend came to take her to school this morning, and I never wanted to be a Mum who was happy to wave her children off!

Then hubby rang to say he was sorry but he forgot to leave me bus fare to go and meet my Nan this morning... Its £1.70 on the bus and I've managed to scrape 90p in silver out of the penny jar...

I want to just go back to bed and wake up tomorrow....

And I'm eating Lemon Meringue for breakfast...

MrsTinks

Awww Krystal - that's pooey... Have a hug!
At least your hubby did call to tell you he'd forgotten to leave you enough change for the bus...
I'm very jealous about the Lemon Meringue... but after being told off for eating a kitkat before going to see MW yesterday (which probably contributed to my glucose in my urine) I'm even more desperate for sweet things... GAAAH! Stopping off for something naughty after my bloods though that's for sure! Even if they said I should reduce my sugar intake just in case it's gestational diabetes... They sure do know how to cheer me up in there

Krystaltips

I think it's girls that make you crave sweet things, I couldn't get enough sugar down my neck with Aimee... Don't have any suggestions on cutting back though I'm afraid, I had the GTT and was so grateful it was normal, I always crave sugar!

Hope you get on better with the nurse, sounds like you have veins like mine, got stabbed 3 times on Monday and they've resorted to taking it out of my hand twice so far this pregnancy... Hands bruise up lovely!
