MSE Pregnancy Club XVI

Morning all. This whole annual leave time is a bit weird. After working full-time and having a routine 5 days a week I am feeling a bit strange. Plus I feel like I should be "nesting" but to be honest with you can't be bothered to clean at all!! I have to motivate myself to try and do stuff when I would be quite happy watching DVDs or reading books - is this just me? Anyone who'ss been here has the nesting instinct come in later?

I really have to do something though because I feel so guilty not doing anything all day and then DH comes home to a messy house and cooks dinner (he has said he still wants to cook in the evenings as he is used to it) so I feel extra guilty when all I want to do is relax and unwind for a few days. Plus the ILs are coming Friday so will feel well crap if the house isn't tidy.

So plan today is finish off kitchen. Tomorrow I will do the spare room and the lounge. Then see how I go from there - maybe just try and do most of the work in the morning then have afternoons to sit about... Well I'll see how it goes.

Sorry for the ramble.

EA I was so cmfortable when I switched to maternity clothes it was wonderful having clothes that properly fitted.

Lou I am definitely there with you on the whole feeling like it is taking ages, but then seeming to go quickly. Can't believe I am 36+3.

Somnium - congrats on team pink

Kelinik - yay for your screening test result

Karen - enjoy your free time whilst you can. It will be gone before you know it and you won't have time to yourself! Do a bit of housework if you fancy, but take time to relax if that's what you fancy doing. I didn't do much housework when I was off, and I felt terribly guilty, but DH didn't want me to do much anyway as I was pregnant and should be taking it easy!
I spent my time batch cooking, watching TV, shopping and meeting friends for lunch. It was great! I only had a mad cleaning frenzy a couple of days before I was due, just because I was stressed at coming home to a messy house - not because any nesting instict kicked in!

Congrats Som on team pink!!!

No news on Csh or Squishy then? I am off to the dentist for root treatment (at least it's free just now!), but will keep an eye on the goings on of the pregnancy thread later. x

YAY I wonder how they do it?? I mean 1 in 50,000 is insane lol I was 1 in 3797 or something like that and I thought mine was low risk but wow lol

Dunno, had to count the zeros several times to make sure lol, defo 50,000. When I had my girls they didn't take blood so it was based just on the nuchal measurements and your age, guess its more accurate now?

BeenieCat

Aww i didn't get a number i just got told "low risk". Booo

Been to town and bought sausage rolls from Greggs for breakfast

EA & Kindof, could you take team blue & leave me with the team pink quota? I'm so sure that it'll be a little boy, but would absolutely love a little girl as would OH, poor thing if he is a boy!

Just tried taking a bump pic but turns out it's pretty hard to take a pic of yourself from the side whilst holding the camera, don't know how to work the self timer - any tips?! Oooh I could use photobooth on the Mac, genius! Will go get it

Poor OH has now come down with man flu - he even suggested it might be swine flu his sniffle was so bad!! Seems my complaints of a pain in my kidney area are nothing in comparison :rotfl: He's just text me from work saying he feels horrendous - he's silly though I tell him to come home and he won't, he's tied to his bl&7dy job!

Right be back soon once I can get a non bump pic (bearing in mind I've just eaten the biggest bowl of chocolate cereal known to man, the bulge you may see will be food!!)

Gymfiend - I will take team blue and you can have team pink lol (EA is already 99% sure she is team blue) not that we really have any say in the matter lol

Watch all 3 of us get the other one that we want/think we are lol

Aww my OH was dying of flu the other day lol

Evansangel

My screening result was 1 : 33,333 i think lol.
so very low risk

Gymfiend - I'll happily take one of the team blue quota lol.

I usually hold the camera right out and take the pic. Or set it on self timer, and run to the other side of the room haha.
I had some chocolate cereal today - Wheetos

kindofagilr

Awww you all have way higher numbers than me lol EA your 20 arent you?

Beeniecat you are so mean - I really want a sausage roll now.
