Discovery Home & Health

Hi ladies,

Well its officially the b.hol! any special plans this weekend, I'm going to mum's for the weekend with Benjamin as not seen her since xmas.

Kirsti, not sure about Kaihden but he is approaching the terrible two's. Benjamin throws some pretty spectacular tantrums when he doesn't get his way. If you're worried speak to your HV. Hope he improves with the meds. Ben's had croup 3 times too but so far no infections touch wood!

Amy, I only get kicks low down although I am a few weeks behind you. I had loads of scans with DS and by 23 weeks he was head down so I was getting kicks high up from then. Do you find you sometimes get lots of pressure low down? My baby sometimes sits so low down on my bladder I feel I'm permanently weeing. She's always quiet on those days I guess she gets comfy on my bladder and has a big ole sleep!

Angel thats an impressive bump pic! sorry you are having to sell your car but like you say there will be other cars and the kids come first.

Hi to everyone else, hope you have a nice Easter weekend. I'm gonna have to go Ben has been a right whingey grump since he got up from his nap and is doing my head right in. He was in a lovely mood this morning too!

Helloooooo!!

Well i am feeling a bit better today, thank god,
for one, because i dont need to sell my car for now, and two.. because we went to see someone about our finances to try and pay some stuff off.. so hopefully within a few days we will be getting somewhere.

Had my antenatal app this AM.. And as i thought, Baby IS lying transverse,.. or across my belly as someone asked what that meant, i think it was you Amy.
MW told me to put my hands where she said and she pushed them right in my belly and said thats his head!" i said "aaahhhhrrrggghh, OMG," it scared me to death!! i could feel its head!! then she did the same thing on the other side and it was its bum!! it was crazy!! then she asked if i knew what i was having and when i said boy she said, "oh, i'd have said a girl going off its heartbeat!!" yeah right.. its not my normal midwife i saw, it was my secondry one, but ive had her with all the other 3 so i know her.. think she was just winding me up!
she also said that i had protein in my wee so need to drink more, and had a trace of glucose.. here we go, i had it towards the end with last one as well, so she said if it shows up twice i will have to go to hospital and get a glucose tolerance test done.. but in the meantime just watch what sugary stuff i am eating..whoops!
Also as i am in pain with SPD she has referred me for physio.. God i am ready for the knackers at this rate!
If you are intrested this is a link which explains the condition as i think someone asked??

Kirsty.. I am sure you will settle into your new house soon, and once the baby comes you wont even think about it!!
Its hard to say about the ADHD, i dont know your little man to see him and think, oh my, he's just like Jordan was, there are so many tests and stuff they do over a period of time and they dont usually make a diagnosis (if you are lucky..!) til they are much older, I'm sure its just that he is cranky coz he's been poorly and like kate said, he's coming up to the terrible 2's and they do get frustrated so easily at this age!!
Dont worry about it, see how he goes and if you are still bothered in a few months time or he starts doing stuff thats dangerous then mention it to your HV, mine didn't seem bothered it was the speech therapist that referred me!! I told her that he just wasn't right but i couldn't put my finger on it.
I know what you mean by grinding yes! but i feel it more around the front and in my pelvis not hip so much! its later on when the head is right down it gets me, Urggghh, it goes through me!!
Enjoy your weekend!

Kate.. thanks for that regarding my bump, i'm getting paranoid now, you have all gotta post some bump pics!! enjoy your holiday!

well, i am off to put my feet up before i sort the washing out and get kids ready for bed!! my poor ankles are all swollen!!

Bye for now,
Emma. x

Angel I didn't mean to offend you, I think your bump pic is lovely, its all bump wheras mine is mostly fat being pushed out by a little bump underneath which is why I'm ashamed to post a pic. When pg with ds I was posting bump pic's left right and centre but I just feel fat and horrible this time.

xx

Right I've put a bump pic on taken about 10 mins ago.

Angel, oh good, phew. Its easy to read posts in the wrong context innit! anyway I got my belly out now so you're not alone

Kate!!! FAT MY ARSE!!!! I am fatter than that! its all on my hips!!

Its a lovely bump.. so dont be thinking anything other than that!

xx

Oh lordy...anyone else just see the water birth on test tube babies just now, i always get a lump in my throat everytime i see a birth, (and sometimes cry!!!) Its that look on their face when they bring the baby up onto their chest that gets me!
Oh, i'm soooo emotional!

ok, Im off now, just done a lego house for Jordan.. and he is admiring it in his bed!!
My legs and ankles are all swollen up so need to get my feet up.

Night night everyone! x

Emma. x

hey ladies!!!

thanks for ur advice about kaihden, im hoping its just the terrible twos n maybe all the upheaval of moving house, ill just have to see how he gos.

angel - ur bump is really big! ur so lucky!!! i was massive with kaihden at this stage but just dont seem to be this time,

kate- u aint fat!! far from it lol, u got a lovely little bump!

as for me im to ashamed of all my streach marks from last time to post any pics! im one of the unfortunate ones who got LOADS!!!

oohhhh whats happening on lost??? havent got sky since i moved as we aint allowed any dishes on the building!!! it sucks!! need updates!!

does anyone else just feel righ down in the dumps the now?? i just cant seem to snap out it!!!!

anyways off to TRY n get kaihden to sleep!!!!

still here!!!! I always do this!!

Kirsty!! Nobody has more stretchmarks than my bestfriend.. believe me!! she has hers the whole way around and from under her boobs right down to the bottom!
I have loads aswell! it just depends how they catch the light! but they dont bother me, dont get me wrong, i'd love the belly i had at 17!!! boo hoo..

as for lost found it a bit crazy this week, but its almost sunday AGAIN!! I cant keep up!
It was about sun and Jin.. hard to explain really but she had the baby, and jin was trying to get a massive panda to the hospital, when he got there he said he was there representing Mr. Paik (suns father) and asked what the baby was, they said a boy and jin put a blue ribbon on the panda and gave it to the bodyguard?? then went.. but the weird thing is, she had a girl!! then hurley turns up at suns house and asks if she is ready to go and he says how much the baby looks like jin..sun says yes she does and then off they go to see jin... Its his grave they are visiting.. eh? no, i dont get it either..
If you go to the ABC lost website it will prob explain it better than me and i think you will be able to see clips aswell!

Really going now!

ps.. yes i am down in the dumps aswell at the moment, not sure why, we should be happy we are preggers right?? but its so hard to snap out of it when you are low.. i reckon we need some really good warm weather!! roll on summer!
ah, *sighs* evening walks with the new baby in pram!!

Right Lost, from what I could gather and I might be wrong, is it was 2 stories in parallel. The Jin stuff I think was a flashback from when he was still working for her Dad, he was getting the panda for the ambassador's daughter on orders from his boss. And the stuff with Sun was a flashforward. She must be one of the survivors and got back to the US to have her baby, so Jin must have died on the island - sob sob!

Thanks for the comments on my bump, must have it in a good light or something lol

Right better go as I'm watching trial and retribution.

Hi girls.
Well i am typing this in my bedroom now. The computer has been moved to start clearing the spare room fo the nursery.
It's making this seem very real now!

I'm having alot of trouble getting my pics up on msn but i am trying. Our computer is playing silly buggers so as soon as dh sorts it my pics will go up.
I have got a picture of my bump but hopefully after we go up my FIL today we can scan our pics of the baby to our picture folder.
What a bloody hassle!

Angel- Thanks for the post about the low down kicks it's really weird i don't like it much i must admit.
My dh felt the baby yesterday morning. I mostly get light movement but when he is on a roll he makes me jump when he kicks and if i get dh's hand fast enough he can feel it too.
I know he did because i didnb't tell him when it was and he felt it!
But also just because someone is carrying big doesn't mean that they will have a big baby.
The girl at work was huge and her baby was only 7 pounds but some girls that are tiny have massive babies.
You just can't predict it from the size of your tummy.
My sister takes the piss out of my bump she says she wants to be huge whe she is pregnant and the girls at work say it just looks like i'm on my period!
Bumps are lush no matter what shape or size.
Sometimes i wish mine was bigger to show off but if it was i would probably want it smaller we are just never satisfied.

Kate- I think that my baby likes to sit upright against my back like he did in the 20 week scan and he has really long legs so no wonder i can feel alot down low.
And yes it means i am permenently peeing!

Kirsti- Yes i'm glad someone else has said it.
I feel guilty sometimes when i feel down cause i am so fortunate to be pregnant.
But i think we are at a funny stage we are quite far in but have alot of time left yet.
It's almost like an amazing pressie in our reach but we can't quite open it yet.
It feels sometimes like i have loads of time until i meet my little man.
But i then think oh my god i haven't enough tim to get ready for this.
I think mostly it is hormones though and not sleeping properly cause of constant pee breaks!

Kate- I so cried when i found out that jin had died it got me all hormonal and then i had to kiss the hubby!

Anyway put my sofa bed and 2 chest of drawers up for sale in the newspaper for tomorrow edition now.
So the spare room is getting barer by the minute!
We had to sell the stuff so we could afford to buy the computer table for our room as the old one looked shit.
Bought a couple of baby grows yesterday, i keep finding really cute little boy stuff and i can't help myself but we really need more practical things soon.
What size clothes is everyone buying to begin with?
I have bought up to 10lb stuff or 0-3 months but i because i'm thinking about how long his legs are but am wondering if should be getting newborn stuff more or not.

Anyway hope everyone else is well that i didn't mention.
Lots of love.
Amy. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Just put my bump piccies up on MSN (hopefully scan ones later)

Check 'em out!

Hello everyone..

Amy i wouldn't bother wasting your money on newborn, 0-3 or up to 10lb will be fine, thats all ive bought anyway, and if he turns out to smaller then they usually sell babygro's in hospital shop or i'm sure someone could pop to tesco for you on their way to visit!!
And there is always some one that buy's newborn gift set with a sleepsuit in!
I will check your pics out now!!

Kate.. I missed bits of lost as i run to kitchen and try and get dishwasher and washing machine loaded when the adverts come on, so i prob missed a bit showing flash back!! thats why i couldn't understand why he was alive one minute and dead the next.. thanks for that.. But yes i agree about it being parallel lifes!!
Its all a bit confusing flashbacks and flash forwards.. just wish it would end now as its doing my head in.. i bet the makers dont even know whats going on with it and just making it up as they go along!!
