Morning all.

Congratulations Apricot Your daughter is gorgeous Welcome to any other new arrivals

OH has just seen me posting and has asked how far up the list we are, might have to go count now lol. - Just counted, am 16th after boldies, how the devil did that happen!

We have had a mental few days being very busy with work and home but i am getting there, Lirin i feel your pain, my feet seem to ache after doing hardly anything lately!!!

We were grown up responsible adults and did our will's yesterday through the Which online (recomeded by Martin of course) and we got the last few things on the list for Elvis

34 weeks today and cannot wait for Elvis to arrive, i have just 12 working days left at work and then its time for a little break before Elvis enters our lives (if we are lucky)

My mum was late with me and Nan was late with her, OH's mum cant remember being early or late with either of hers so we are assuming they were pretty much on time, i know it means nothing but we like hypothesising lol

I still have tooth ache and my neck and back are still stiff from the bump in the car and waiting to have the final decision on it being a write off but we will get there in the end

Hope all are well and are enjoying the sunshine.

Morning!

Sequeena I am sorry to hear you're still suffering :-(.

Lirin and puzzled - I found that I really started slowing down and puffing up badly from about 30 ish weeks. It only really got better (or less bad) once I stopped work and realised that I couldn't do so much. I still get puffiness but nowhere near as bad. I've just accepted that I can't and don't do so much now.

I'm now 37+4 so I guess, unless you're PP or MSFC it's expected that it's time to slow down. That said I do still push myself a bit because I want to encourage my son to get a shift downwards!

We're off to the inlaws for lunch later and this morning I'm just going to do some portaging about.

That's meant to be pottering about!

Lirin

That'll be fun then! I'm 23 weeks, and have had to accept I'm not climbing mountains anytime soon.

I do get puffed easier, can't walk without a slight waddle already, and occasionally, later on in the day when I'm tired, picking something up off the floor is worthy of Krypton Factor..... In ten weeks time- wow. DH says I'm stubborn though- he asked me not to do much when I was off on Friday- I joined the library, collected the car from the mech, tidied the entire house, organised our files, bought paint and had fleeting thoughts of trying to create something Nigella Lawson would approve of. (That last was purely delusional..... I know my cooking. You can survive on it, but gourmet- definitely not.)

It's very hard at times to feel sexy when DTD becomes like a game of Operation.......

Lirin.. i can walk about 20m at best.. the floor is a thing of the past.. if Squeak climbs my legs I can't see her under my tum lol.. Toe nails were painted though .. was a bit like my own personal game of twister!

At 31 weeks I've just had to scale a 6 foot fence as i stupidly managed to lock myself out of the house by closing the garage door from the outside,just as the rain started. 2 wheelie bins and a few plant pots helped the climb, tho my heart was pumping like mad afterwards.
Just goes to show what can be done with a bit of motivation!
The OH went out for a cycle and I know he hasn't got his keys with him, so I'm going to hide and see how he gets into the house.

Alison.. I did the same when 37 weeks pg with DD1... ran round the back.. climbed onto a wheelie bin.. jumped over the 6ft wall.. smashed the back door.. couldn't get the lock to give to climbed in through a tiny 18in x 12in window... half an hour later my waters broke and DD1 was born the next morning lol...

:eek:£25 for a wheelie bin!! We had ours stolen (why on earth anyone would want to steal a wheelie bin I dont know!) about 6 months ago and weren't charged for a new one - although it did end up taking them about 8 weeks to actually get it to us.

Eek, hope my waters don't break yet!
Thankfully I didn't have to climb through a window, as I would definitely have got stuck - bump is huge now.

Poor Lozzy, I hate paying any extra money to the council when I pay so much in rates.

BTW, see the weather is to hot up this week. Up to 30 degrees in parts of England :eek:
