Many many congratulations to MrsH2b :happyhear - beautiful name and a bit of a surprise to actually have a due date baby!

Sexymouse - the cost of childcare is such a worry isn't it? At the moment my plan is to go back to work in April for 2 and a half days. Little man will be at nursery for 2 days and mum has very kindly said she would like to have him one afternoon. It is going to be a huge chunk of an already much reduced salary. This time last year we would have been just about been eligible from some help from Child Tax Credit - not a chance now that they slashed the thresholds by half Still PMA - we'll get by and cope, nothing else for it

Hi and welcome NBirdy :wave:

37 weeks today and really feeling it - bump is making laying down uncomfortable in any position. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in over 3 months because of heartburn, SPD and an over active mind/imagination - now I can add a huge bump to the list

Taking my sister out for lunch today then want to take puppy dog for a walk to try and keep as active as possible. Me and DH going to cinema tonight to see Men in Black 3. We saw What to Expect last Friday night - thought we best make the most of the uninterupted couple time we have left!

Have a lovely day all xx

Well, they're obviously not rushing to get me scanned to check the baby's size. Hospital's just rung and the appt's in two weeks! I'll probably be giving birth whilst they're scanning me...

Re. kicks, I feel mine in the heart and lungs. Pesky baby and its three foot long legs

Jovi at least your mum is staying around to help you a bit with the tidying. My house needs a good sort out too but it's hard trying to blitz it. Hoping once it's done I might keep it tidier.....failed for the last 28 yrs though don't overdo it tho. Try and break it into smaller tasks and take regular breaks and drinks.

She has been an absolute star to be honest :jOnce I had stopped crying on Wednesday, there was just a feeling of sheer relief that someone was helping with it all OH is a bit of a hoarder (not on same scale as on that program on C4), and mum is completely indiscriminate about what she bins - she filled up 8 bin liners in the front room alone

It's quite funny at the moment, since Wednesday, we have bought a new rug, new curtains and nets for the front room and the cats are refusing to come in - I think the smell must be different with all the cleaning.... we keep seeing them walk in and kind of mentally check they are in the right house :rotfl:

Speaking of cats, here is Chewy (AKA Stupid Cat) trying to hide from the rain yesterday....



We have a few trees in the back garden so there were plenty of places to hide but nooooooo he chose a leaf :rotfl:

That is such a cute cat! Stupid's such a common name for cats, don't you think? Mine's called Stupid as well.

He's there on the left, in my avatar. Looking stupid.

He has other names but I would probably be banned for using them here He is cute but don't let it fool you, he is severely lacking in the intelligence department

Congratulations to Mrs H, Welcome to the newbies, hugs to everyone in pain, feeling upset, stressed or just wanting hugs.
It's JUNE! I'm 39 weeks and my OH would love to have baby arrive this weekend - mainly because he wants to open all the boxes and set up the pram but doesn't want to do it before baby arrives because he thinks it'll encourage baby to stay put

Since I became pregnant my mum always seems to clean part of the house when she visits. Last time she came down with my little sister, sent me to bed because she decided I needed rest, sent my sister to the study to get her homework and revision done and cleaned the bathroom and kitchen. Both my husband and I were very grateful though feeling a little guilty which my mum dismissed as nonsense. I'm looking forward to seeing her next weekend, hopefully baby will have turned up by then though I doubt it somehow.

Jovi your cat is very cute. My two are a little miffed because they used to hide from the rain under our neighbours leilandi but they've been cut down. Their next place to hide was in the jungle which our garden had become but my OH cut the grass and dug out the weeds last weekend so now one hides under a bush and the other has discovered she can just about fit inside the bird table

My OH is at home for five days - working from home today then 4 day bank holiday though apart from for lunch I'll probably see him almost as little as I do when he's in the office as he's trying to finish all his revision incase baby does turn up.

I'm going to try to get a pile of study done as well as though I have 2 months before the next assignment is due I don't want to have to take too much time out from baby once he arrives.

Hope everyone has a good day *hugs*

Congratulations mrs H! :T Might have to add Faye to my list of possible middle names, it's so pretty.

I too have a stupid cat, actually they're both stupid. The older one us in my avatar, he's gorgeous but a complete dumbass. We suspect that the younger one, who looks very similar, was dropped on her head as a kitten... :rotfl:

Just got back from monitoring, all fine as per usual The midwife did ask me if I knew why I was still under consultant care...! :mad:
She did say that if I go into labour, I can always ask to go to the birthing suite, and the on-duty doctor can make a decision there and then. How articulate I'm likely to be at that stage is anyone's guess...!

My baby's room looks so cute! Even if I do say so myself Need to get a cot mattress, and to collect my moses basket, and I'd like to get a wall sticker to go above the cot too. Next time I'm on the pc I'll try to show you guys a photo.

Had such a productive day yest, sorted baby's room, including unpacking clothes, nappies etc into drawers, put some shelves up in the new built-in wardrobes, and started moving our clothes etc upstairs. Tiring but fun (I think I'm nesting, can't stop!)
