  • Afternoon all!

    Well for those who are friends on facebook my afternoon has been blighted by a supermarket who I will name sainsCRAP. First attempt at their online shopping included green furry salami (I mean !!!!!!?), bashed tins, rotten tomatoes and squidgy cucumber :mad: :mad: :mad: have phoned and emailed, but after each I found more crap more :mad: so that got my BP up somewhat. Now in bed catching up and eating a wispa gold :)

    Welcome to the newbies!
    candlewax if I remember rightly the last square for the urine dip is nitrates which can be an indication of infection. If you're not feeling too unwell I would just wait until the results are back as normally a week of antibiotics will fix you up.
    Rups I think new look also do these bump bands three for a tenner. Although I don't have any quite a few people have mentioned them to me. Got lovely over bump jeans from asda and nice summery dress from new look, although not had chance to wear a couple of them yet :( ebay is also great. If they don't fit well you can just resell them.

    Thank you for all the cot suggestions, will show to OH later. Missmonkeymoo I just couldn't ask MIL to spend that much, I wish OH would have words and get some idea. I mean I doubt she knows how much cots can cost now. It's her first grandchild and OH is an only child. Maybe we can go shopping with her then she can see what's about.

    shell_girl I've added you to the list. That should make LMM and sa-ra-ra-ra happy as they've been bumped down a place ;)
    Haha yes, if a few more people could appear then I'd be happy to go back down the list ;)

    Glad your appt went well Jedi
    Milliebob that did make me laugh, I hope you've managed to wrestle your Welles now

    OH has promised to cook tea tonight. To be fair it's stir fry with a pre chopped bag of veg, but still I think I think he's realised I'm a mess bless him. wish he'd hurry and get home, I'm getting peckish.

    Hugs to everyone that needs them xx

    Evening all,

    Just finished my first full week of full days teaching for the first time in the pregnancy, and the first time in almost a whole school year (supply had got very slow)! I'm not feeling too bad, considering I was also babysitting on Wednesday night until 10.40pm (was very tired that night, and was asleep by just gone 9pm last night to make up for it). Bean has also been kicking more in the last couple of days, so I'm relieved as I was contemplating a doctor's appointment to check all was ok as he'd been a lot quieter than normal. I suppose his growth spurt must have worn him out a bit, as my bump has definitely got bigger in the last week (my Dad even noticed a difference).

    Congratulations to ladylegs on the birth of Joel - been teaching a nice Joel today - his whole family are sweet too - I used to teach his older brother (Jonty). Sorry to hear the birth was traumatic though.

    Welcome to colli, rups, MrsBryan and a few other people who've joined the thread in the last couple of days - I recognise some of you from the ttc thread or the less than 12 weeks thread - well done for being brave and taking the plunge onto this one - I joined quite early, and it's great on here.

    Think Bean is definitely putting more pressure on my bladder at the moment, as the need to go to the loo frequently has now returned. I also have a very bruised-feeling lower left rib, so think he may have kicked it hard at some point. On the plus side though, my heartburn still seems to be under control now I'm on the 40mg of omeprazole, so I can now eat most things without worrying about feeling awful afterwards (this may also explain the bump gain lol). 27 weeks on Sunday - can't believe where the time is going - will be no time at all before I'm in that third trimester!

    Moon and I looked online this morning at the furniture we'd been considering for the baby's/spare room, and it's not available for 14-16 weeks! Not sure what we're going to do now, as I want it all in before the baby arrives so I can put everything away. Back to the drawing board.

    Well hugs for anyone who needs or wants them, get well wishes where needed, and labour vibes for all who want them.

    sexymouse xx
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Im in really bad form tonight. Tears galore. My other half is really upsetting me/ annoying me. Obv we found out baby breech today and I know at 32 weeks he does still have time to turn but just in case I look at the options. I want to chat with him the options eg ecv but he won't even entertain my discussions at all cos he says we don't need to worry about it. I know and I'm not worrying I just want to be armed with the info for my next appointment at 35 weeks and know what my head is thinking re questions.

    Anyway after spending three hours looking at info on breech stuff I decided if he is still breech I don't want the ecv - I gonna try natural things and if it doesn't work book in for section

    I just feel so alone because if something happens we need to be prepare and he won't even look at any information. Am I wron to be upset?
    love you lots like jelly tots :o

    I don't think you're wrong to be upset rj, or wrong to feel the need to prepare for it. I think it's just the way that some men deal with things - they try not to think about it until the last minute as a way of protecting themselves from getting upset in an attempt to stay strong for us. Moon is always telling me I worry about things too much and to wait and see what happens - I'm a natural worrier that goes with my control-freak nature, so like to be prepared for any eventuality (hence why I also wanted to find out the sex). Big hugs for you, and fingers crossed that baby turns for you.

    Thanks for the welcome sexymouse....I've been here for months though must have got me mixed up with someone else!:rotfl::rotfl:

    rjh, of course you're not wrong to be upset. As sexymouse said, sometimes its just the way men deal with things, my OH can be exactly the same and is very laid back.
    Also, its our body going through it so I think we feel everything more anyway!

    Strong BH tonight, come on baby!!

    Quite funny, at my baby shower everyone done a date and weight prediction for baby as a game. Went through them tonight and there's only 5 left in the running, most people thought I was going to be early! And nearly everyone has put at least 9lb for the weight :eek: One of my friends put 10lb 11oz!!

    I was also wondering about MrsManda and choclover, bet they are having lovely mummy cuddles! :D
