MSE Pregnancy Club XII

I'm so craving cherries at the mo. Best I can do is cherry coke. Can't really go to a supermarket in good conscience until Saturday, assuming I'm up to it even then. I've asked my brother to pick me up some essentials tomorrow but I'd feel a bit cheeky giving him a great big list.

I'm trying to run the freezer down a bit as the top drawer has frozen shut and that is where the raspberry ripple ice cream is so I really need to sort that out. He is also bringing me cool boxes so that I can defrost it all so hopefully he will be fairly early so I can do it before my new pg friend comes for coffee at 4.30.

I can't stand being stuck at home... can you tell!!!

I'd be the same Harley. The idea of it is nice but in practice I have to get out; even if it's just popping to the shops or for a walk! I'm really worried that I will get cabin fever on mat leave as I have six weeks off before baby gets here. Will just have to arrange lots of mornings out for coffee etc.

EBaying is going well- done five lots so far with two still to go. Hopefully will dig out a few more bits later as well. I find that once I start on it, I just have to plough on. I don't know how people cope with having dozens of items on at once though, I just don't have the time to answer questions and keep track of who's paid etc once I get over ten listings!

Harley-pain in the bum about your perfume. I find things that I think will definitely go tend to hang around, whereas things that I think are junk go for way more than expected! We did a carboot a few weeks ago and were amazed what people will buy! They do want a bargain though and will barter on a 20p ietm. I wouldn't have the nerve.

The cabin fever is partly why I'm working til 39+3 if I can. I just want to be able to go out but yesterday I couldn't even walk the 200 yards to the post box to post my HIPG form. Plus, if I'm off sick I really can't be well enough to go shopping but something other than the same four walls would be nice. Been watching every CSI I can get my hands on this week just so I had something to do.

I have so much to do as well, I need to get tester pots for bubs room then paint it, sort out junk stuff and get it into the loft, sort out other stuff for car boot, loads of gardening and plants to put in, tidying, Ironing, god it never ends.

I'm sorry to be such a whinger, I'm just going slightly stir crazy.

Glad your ebaying is going so well, it's nice to see that money mounting up isn't it?

Argh.. bloody visitors! I've hardly got anything done today cos we keep getting visitors turning up unannounced, wanting to stay and chat for ages. How on earth I'm supposed to express every two hours, I do not know!! I've told OH to tell his family to let me know if they're going to show up but they still don't - alright for him, he's at work all day.

Didn't go out with Mum in the end. Too shattered and would have ended up ratty - much like I am now! Boobs killing, need to express, need a cuppa, need a nap, tea will turn up shortly, haven't got the energy to eat it and I've got a killer sore throat... and breathe!

On the bright side, Rhys hasn't had any extra oxygen all day and is now up to four hour periods off his CPAP. Going back on it at 6pm tonight. Also back to wearing a sleepsuit again - looking uber cute!

Off for a lie-down.. sorry to moan!

I found that passing out on the inlaws worked :rotfl: I was sitting up/lounging on the bed when they came in and I just zonked out. They got the message that they had to call before visiting. You have to be strict and give them times to visit and tell them not to stay longer than 2 hours, you are too tired and need to express plus you want to spend as much time with Rhys as you can. On top of that too many visitors increases the risk of one of them passing you a cold or something and you do not want to deal with that as well as everything else.

Right off to the chip shop to get dinner

harley, i think perfume buyers tend to be online at 9pm (in my experience of ebaying) so i'd set them to end at that time and then people are less likely to forget to bid.

no posts in 45mins - everyone OK?!!!

I'm here. Having niggles after my RLT. Wish I hadn't bothered.

I'm good thanks Glam. Done 7 listings on eBay- two have 99p bids already so I'm happy!

Just been batch cooking. Huge pasta bake for tonight so should be a spare portion or two to freeze. Did extra sauce so two portions of that to freeze, plus made lunch for work tomorrow. Think my afternoon nap did me good!

Think I need to get hold of some biggish foil dishes to freeze lasagne, shepherds pie etc in. I have individual ones but would like to make some bigger ones for one bubs is tiny and I have to inclination to cook. Any ideas?

Harley- I think it is perfectly ok to pop to the shops while off sick- you do need to eat! Whether you feel up to it is another matter of course.

I was with Rhys.. Actually only went through to wash up the milk containers but when I went to collect them from Rhys' drawer (the nurses put the tubs in the drawers under the inci once empty) and found the nurse in there with him. He'd kicked off so much when they put the CPAP back on that the nurse (a lovely one) took him off it again to calm him down! That's my boy! Apparently they were aiming for 4hrs off, 4hrs on, but he had 4hrs off, 45mins on before the screaming got too much for the nurse. He has worst sats on than off cos he's so distressed - either way he's only breathing air so no extra oxygen required so far

Still not had a nap.. Have had tea/snack (jacket potato and beans), expressed and now got a cuppa to go with my strawberry cheesecake for pud

We get them from Instore (used to be Poundstretcher).. About 8 for 99p, I think
