Congratulations Sam!

Walked home from the village this afternoon and went flying over my shoe. Fortunately landed on my hands and knee rather than bump, but now have a lovely graze all the way down my shin. I'm so graceful! :rotfl:

Been given iron tablets as my iron levels were low on my 28 week blood tests, and I must be honest I feel much less tired now. GD is up and down, testing 4 times daily which is a pain especially when the same foods give me different readings on different days! Back to see the midwife on Thursday though, so will see what she says.

Hope your baby makes an appearance soon Oscar!

Just scrubbed my house top to bottom, feeling absolutely knackered now, doubt i will make it much past 10pm.

Congratulations Sam!

I'm fed up of not sleeping - anyone else? Have been wandering the house in the small hours for the last few nights, can't get comfortable, too hot, and really twitchy, it's driving me insane. I passed out on the sofa at about 4 this morning, woke up at 7.30 with a stiff neck and sore legs. I've been on the go all day, hoping I'll pass out at bedtime tonight.
The kids want to go somewhere tomorrow too, so I need energy so I can do something with them.
I had a friend round yesterday, she's got twins (6 year-old boys) so she had a clear out, and gave me a bag of matching outfits for the babies - the OH thinks they're really small, and I'm looking at them thinking I've got to carry two things that big!
20+4, 17ish weeks left.

Congrats Sam!

Is anyone doing perineal massage and if so, do you have any tips? Not sure if anyone wants to know this but I'm finding it hard to get into a good position to allow access!

yumyums I think there are videos on babycentre and instructions

I've been taking iron tablets for a few days and thought I was getting better until today!

Eeek! 10th on the list!

Sorry I don't post much. Tbh I just feel like I have so little time. DS2 is wearing me out and somewhere along the line I have turned into a hormonal moody cow, every evening I find myself either ranting or apologising to DH.

Not seen mw for ages. Was due to have a home visit last Tuesday which was already a week late, that got cancelled, they then rebooked it for Friday for the surgery but when I got there there was no record of the appointment. There was one available for 2 hours later but I couldn't hang around that long with a toddler and I certainly didn't have the energy to go home and come back. Apparently I'll be seeing someone next Tuesday but I feel a bit like I'll believe it when it happens. I'm trying not to feel worried at a month's gap at the point I should be having fortnightly appointments.

Keep thinking I've forgotten something too but this will be DS3 so I don't need to buy any clothes. We've got reusable nappies and a couple of packets of disposables. I need to wash a load of new born stuff but that's hardly a big job.

Sorry for the ramble

Congratulations Sam! I'm hoping for a nice quick birth this time :rotfl:

Sounds like you are having a bit of a crappy time. I'd have kicked off at being messed around all the time. I'm sure your DH understands, I rant all the time, but I never apologise!

Congratulations Sam!

We're off to Kiddicare today with the in-laws because apparently they don't feel very involved. They want to buy some stuff but don't want to tread on anyone's toes. Ho hum!
