    Finding the sofa harder to sleep on now.... :( Bed's been out for a few weeks (DH likes to remind me what a trooper he's being, sleeping on an airbed and a double duvet in the living room with me. Must take him proper camping at some stage- when he's sitting miserably under a bivouac at 0400 in pouring rain eating refried beans, the airbed will seem luxurious in comparison).

    It's a tossup- the bed which I can't sleep in- beside the bathroom. The sofa which I can still sleep on- and 3-4 nightly trips up stairs (my arch enemies!)....... Starting to get painful no matter where I sit, lie, stand, slump.....

    I feel your pain Lirin - literally. No matter where I sit or lie now it hurts :o

    Mamas & Papas catalogue came today along with the £5 gift card :) and they sent me an email asking me to update the details of my due date and they'l send me another £5 gift card. Amazing :)

    Oooh you jammy jaffa :D

    I spoke to my manager today about bringing my maternity leave forward a week. I don't actually finish any sooner as I had holidays booked before maternity. I'll still finish the same date as if I was taking the holidays but I am now going to use those holidays to work a shorter week in the 3 weeks lead up to maternity leave. I am just so tired and really don't want to end up going off sick. I've only got 6 weeks left and I've had about 8 weeks sick since getting pg. So I've got 26 working days left at work, and counting .......

    hey WW

    Are you still getting the huggies newborn packs? just to pre warn you that i got one in boots yesterday and it said on the outside sleeve ££'s off rather than £5 off. when i opened it there was £2 off newborn and the same off swimmers but nothing off wet wipes. Still a great offer just worth knowing.

    like me you have had a rough trot and have needed to be signed off. I have next week off sick. then i have 3 weeks and one day to go! I also have to see occ health next Tues

    you jammy jaffa :D

    Sign up to there website and request a catalogue! I posted about my haul from tonight over on 12-24 thread. But I put one of my vouchers towards a cuddle robe and a teddy elephant thing :)

    Then just ordered a dreampod sleeping thing from the website, was £17 in the sale, so got it for £12, not bad when it was originally £34 :eek:

    hmmm been doing my exercises to try and turn this baby around, ive read about one where I am on my knees on the bed with my chest and head flat on the bed and my bum in the air, im meant to stay like that for 15 minutes every two hours, trouble is, its making me out of breath as baby is right up in my ribs anyway think its squashing my diaphragm :( and my knees are so sore, as is my back, don't really know what to do, really want to turn this baby round but this is not at all comfortable!

    just in case anyone is/was interested, Elizabeth Rose was born on 27 September at 5:34pm weighing 6lb 14oz, 10 days overdue. She swallowed some merconium whilst in the womb and ended up in special care for 7 days but we're home now and doing well.
