Hey missy, hope you're feeling better in yourself now.
Re the bags for hospital. I packed 2. One for straight after and the 2nd i left at home for OH to bring. If your OH is not going to be about, you could always leave the 2nd bag with your stepmom and dad if it's easier. Just to give you an idea of sizes, my 1st was 8lb 4oz and his newborn going home outfit was big, so you'd have to be having a VERY large one to need 0-3 month clothes
Baby's clothes are usually quite generous. One step at a time

Morning, sorry for being MIA, have had so much on and OH was home and we seemed to be non stop trying to sort everything out in case baby is early.
WEll tomorrow I will be 34 weeks, crikey doesn't time fly. I am officially massive and therefore massively uncomfortable, even laying in bed is uncomfortable now! OH has just gone away again for a month, so am trying to keep my legs crossed in the hope that baby will stay put until he's home.:o
Have got most things now, OH bless him, ordered a crib for me and put it together so that is now in the bedroom, still need to get blankets etc. To be honest still feeling rather unorganised due to the house being such a mess and if baby does come early having someone come to the house to sort things out whilst Im in hospital etc and being embarrassed because of the mess! The nursery looks lovely, but everything unbaby that was in the room has just ended up in the spare room which is now the hugest of messes so that needs doing, the kitchen looks like a bombsite and so does the bedroom!!! So still quite a lot to do really, I'm not really sleeping either, don't know if its worry that i don't feel totally prepared or that I'm just uncomfortable.
Need to find a day to have a good clean through. Doesn't help that I am totally exhausted all of the time!
I am out today at the midwifes then over at my friends to see her and her 9 week old, cant wait to have a cuddle. Then tomorrow I have have have to ebay stuff. It is taking up half of the spare room and OH was getting cross about it, think if it is still there when he gets back he'll charity shop it!!!! Also I need to buy nursing bras, a bump band thing and I have seen the most gorgeous coat I want and can't afford it, so need the money!! Friday I'm going visiting family as they are complaining they haven't seen me!!! And will be getting the blankets etc and saturday I am out with my friend, which leaves sunday, so I guess my sort the house out clean will be on sunday. Baby best not come before then its not scheduled in :rotfl:
On a more positive note, I started my new OU module last week and actually went to my first tutorial (in 4 years!!!) which was helpful, I now have a lovely desk for me to work at too, and today................... I have finally paid off my loan that I have had for the last 9 years!!!!!!!! A little later than planned but it's done!!!!! Alas I am yet to pay off my CC but that is due to having to buy a new laptop as my other one died. Managed to get a really good deal though and is a second from the dell outlet, so got a £500-£600 computer for £300 including delivery, and it is a million times better than my old one.
Am going to try and pay off my CC with the end of this months pay as with christmas coming I don't want to have to keep paying stupid amounts off it, my maternity pay will have kicked in and the % on my CC is ridiculous.
Well I think that is me well and truely caught up, I hope you are all ok and haven't abandoned me for being away so long. I have the Midwife at 11.20 so will let you know how that goes.
have missed you all xx0 -
Hey missy!!!!
so glad your back on with your diary
its ok chatting on the pregnancy thread but it moves far to fast and I cant keep up lol
I've been asleep today only for 30 mins but it did make me feel better for a while
sorry to hear baby is breech but like everyone was saying theres plenty of time for him/her to turn.
I have finally cleaned under my bed yesterday OMG I nearly wiped myself out no wonder my bedroom always seemed dusty it was coming from under the bed!!!!! I also cleaned behind the bedside cabinets. Still have to do behind and under the washbasket, chest of drawers and wardrobe also need OH to move some christmas decorations from the top of the wardrobe and into the spare room cause they are majorly gathering dust.
OH is really getting on well with his job, putting in loads of hours over 50 a week but is loving it!!!! I sometimes think things are going too well and it will all come crashing down lol just gonna enjoy not having to worry for a while.
So my major project for this week is having this baby! Roll on friday cant wait, wish they'd have just induced me sooner lol

bring on friday bella.
Get you and your nesting, I havent done any cleaning for ages and I really need to. Am so glad OH is loving his job, it always helps. Just been to my friends and she has given us millions of clothes again and a baby bath, which is nice. Im tired but uncomfortable, and really should be bouncing on my ball so think i might bring it upstairs as that is where i spend most of my time. Still feeling out of sorts after the midwife, wish I wasn't

ok so im bouncing and have been for an hour, hope it does some good as its very tiring!!0

I know get me!! havent done much today though haha just sat on settee watched 2 films and had a sleep lol, I have done the general daily kitchen clean and a bit of washing, oh and the school run

midwife has said my baby is back to back and I should get a birthing ball and be leaning over it to try to turn him, but to be honest I aint wasting my money to buy one for the sake of a week, and theres no gurantee it would work anyway lol you carry on bouncing you've got plenty of time
OH is doing really well I am so proud of him and plus his bosses seem very impressed too
his wage this week is over double what he was getting in his last job which is just fab we can start getting sorted for crimbo
and getting in front with some bills etc
