Still up but on my way to bed. Still got loads to sort out at work including emptying my draws which I still haven't worked out how to do but really enjoying my last days. Loads that I know I wont miss though! Hope you have a good night tonight, I love getting updates from my sis on how many hours sleep she gets lol.

Fitzio

Holly has been really good. She is sleeping in her moses basket beside me just now and is just starting to stir. Hopefully if she wakes up, I can feed her, and then she should only be up once during the night for a feed and change. It's a bit erratic at the moment, but not been a problem. I probably get more sleep now than I did when pregnant as I was up to pee constantly!

Enjoy your last few days at work. Night. x

Beenie - glad you are ok. I had noticed you were MIA over the weekend.
Squishy - really hope you have your little girl by now.
Csh - you haven't been on since this morning! Does this mean you are in labour or did you have other things to do with your day?

Neither, just being crabbit and anti-social! I was reading without being logged in. So fed up now its unreal. Have been having contractions for the last 3 days every 5 mins for 3 hrs or so at a time but they never get any worse and just stop after a while
Been losing plug too and sitting here just now trying to decide if waters are leaking or not. Think I'll just go up to the hospital tomorrow am and get checked over. Maybe if I sit and cry they'll take pity on me and not make me wait til Thursday:rotfl:

Holly is so gorgeous!!!! Can't believe every other bu99er apart from me has their baby! Waaaaaaaa, its not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning all, wish i was still asleep but OH woke me when he got back from the loo. He moved the dog gate yesterday so he could paint our bedroom door and decided to forget and fall over it at 5 am. I can't get back to sleep now:mad:

The dogs keep staring at me licking their lips and looking at the kitchen wondering why i haven't fed them yet, it's usually the first thing i do when i get up. Wonder how they will be when i'm up feeding baby.

Glad you went for Olivia Fitzio the name runs off the tongue nicely IYGWIM and she looks so laid back.... too cute:cool:

csh come on we are all routing for you to go, let bubs out.lol Vibes on their way for you.

Morning!

Beenie thanks for the Matalan links, I'm gonna pop in later to try and get some new bedding so will peruse the baby section too now

Skintgypsy, I think it's normal to worry that you'll get to the scan and nothing will be there, I actually even said to the sonographer before she began that I thought i was making a fuss as I obviously wasn't pregnant - she said a surprising number of women say the same!!

Fitz what a little cutie, she looks like she's got a real attitude!

CSH all the labour vibes I can muster for you today!

I'm full of cold this morning, feel like I've not slept. Got a Drs appointment this morning to have blood drawn, then going to Matalan to hopefully buy bedding & some baby bargains! Then I need to go to the supermarket, eurgh. Then the delight of seeing the in laws this evening, my favourite...not! Oh & inbetween, I should try and do some work!!! All I want to do is sit in my dressing gown all day, with the fire on, a book and a hot water bottle, not gonna happen

p.s. Jolene that's a heck of a bump for 12 & a half weeks Am I the only one that's managed to get to 18 weeks with no sign of a bump, except for when I overeat?!

MERFE

morning everyone

boogellyboo - When i had dd, oh had a pass to park in the streets near the hospital ( a friend gave it to him), when he picked me up 3 days after my c secton in the snow in feb, did he park in the hospital car park did he heck! He didnt even walk slowly for me, kept running off infront and telling me to hurry up it was cold. At least the drive home was only short. With DS it was over 30 mins and every corner hurt and I'd scream at him to slow down when he was already in first gear. I wouldnt recommend walking, if you are only 5 mins away but dont drive a taxi wouldnt cost too much.

Fitzio that pic is gorgeous, holly looks really contented.

Checked my blood pressure at work, it came out in the optimal bracket although I didnt look too closly I wonder if it was a bit low and that why I feel a little funny, may just be low for me. I'm so tired today will probably have a nap this morning whilst the little un is at preschool. When I should be doing housework but I've already put on a load of washing and sprayed bleach round the bathroom just need to go wipe round and I have a little ironing left over from yesterday but I could do that this afternoon.

Doubt I'll get time off work for aquanatal, I only work 3 evenings a week, could really only do a morning session or thurs fri evening. Will see if they do it at the local pool on fri when ds goes for his swimming lesson. Bet they do but not a time i can make. I was planning on going swimming once a week during term time but cant do anything this month till after pay day.

SkintGypsy - Welcome to the thread, your spendings not so bad, I've had things in my bottom drawer for years waiting to get pg lol.

Morning all.

Fitzio - Holly is beautiful and glad you went with Olivia as a middle name - it is lovely.

MERFE - apparently your work should give you time off for aquanatal. Although I have to say I never did as I felt bad enough as it was.

Gymfiend - happy shopping, hope you feel better soon. I think it was about 17 weeks when I started wearing maternity clothes - although I lost weight to start with due to morning sickness, plus most of my clothes are stretchy or were a bit loose before.

Somnium - good luck with your scan.

Right today I am going to try and do 15mins work then 15mins rest. My main task today is to get the kitchen tidied - including sorting cupboards and chopping up some cooking apples I was given to put in the freezer.

Later I have a hair appointment with my friend, followed by lunch and a MW appointment at 3.40.

gymfiend

Somnium - good luck

Thanks Karen, hoping to feel a bit less grim once I motivate myself to get dressed!! Have a lovely day, hair & lunch, sounds good

Just had a text from OH saying what do I think to the name Charlie Oscar...his surname is a W, the initials would be COW!! Men really don't think do they!!
