Love to you all,
Pxx

Good afternoon,

Petal: Sorry to hear about your bad throat hope it starts to feel better soon. Im also feeling exhursted most of the time but I think its because we've all had mini colds, seem to be feeling abit better this week. Great news that you finish work this week Ive got 2 and a bit weeks left at looking after lil ones and to be honest I cant wait, but I know after a week i'll miss the little darlings .

Mandy: How are things with you? Do you have a scan coming up? Im sorry my pregnancy brain isn't much good at the mo im having to jot down all times and dates of EVERYTHING at the mo

Waving hi to Michie

My back is playing up again, I seem to be getting backache on a daily basis now but today its definatly worse trying to keep a good posture but I spend alot of time on the floor bending over so thats making it worse. It felt like baby was doing a complete turn this am, felt very uncomftable.

Right off to see how July/Aug thread are getting on, cant believe we will be next Have you ladies brought cot and or crib/moses basket yet?

Back later xx

Hi Jo, thanks for your good luck vibes and happy 30 weeks! How is your hayfever now? Mine's completely under control but only cos I'm staying indoors I think LOL! Seriously though, the sodium cromoglicate drops and spray are great, along with Vaselne on the nose and sunglasses!

It's my last day in work today and I am truly exhausted... can't wait to finish now....

Good luck ladies and thanks again Jo!

Hi everyone,

Jo boo to backache, I've started getting really achy in the base of my back when I've been standing too long. and also have to hold on to the headboard in bed to roll over.

Loads of people have had colds, us included, there also seems to be a nasty tummy bug doing the rounds which my 4yr dd had earlier this week.

Petal yay to nearly finishing work, I can officially finish from the 13th, can't wait.

Hope michie is having a good holiday.

My bump is expanding well. and like you said jo about reading stories, mine seems to react too.

I think this baby is smaller at the moment than my last dd at this stage cause least I can walk. from about 25weeks last time I really struggled with walking. I've got my next scan on 6th august at 32 weeks.

I've pretty much got everything bought, apart from moses basket stand and baby bath.

I found this info out from sainsbury's yday if you go to this web adress:
www.goodluckmum.co.uk

and print the voucher off and take it to sainsbuy's. If you have a nectar card and buy a first size pack of huggies, which were only £2 something you get this gift box free. It is worth £9.99 and is really good for a freebee. it contains.

a pair of cotton booties, foldable changing mat, sample pack of huggies size 2, a little swimmers nappy, a travel pack of pure baby wipes, small battle of comfort, small bottle of carex hand gell, small can of imperial leather foaming shower gel, sachet of persal small and mighty washing liquid, and pack of tissues.

I was really chuffed with mine.
I can't believe they are on the dijluly and august forums, that means its us next. its scary how qucily time is flying.

off to bath dd's now

take care

Mandy

Good evening,

Isn't it funny how the sun seems to come out stronger just as the kids have to get ready for bed

Sezzy: Thanks for popping over. Hayfever seems to be okay at the mo but like you im indoors most of the time as I gave up ringing the doctors I hope youve had a lovely send off at work, now to RELAX

Mandy: Not long left at work for you either great time to finish isnt it?! Thanks for the link on freebie gift set, it all comes in good use Ive still got to buy moses basket/stand and cot/bumper oh and the bath but I think we're just buying one of the newborn material chairs this time around and we'll see how we get on before buying an actual bath. It's funny you mentioned you feel smaller this time around. With second pregnancy ds I was 11 1/2stone at this point and had alot of fluid retention in hands and face but so far im only 10 1/2 stone and carrying much better.

Im sure I have being feeling baby hiccuping but not 100% sure

Petal: Are you still enjoying your evening classes? Im sure when you finish work you'll enjoy them all the more as you'll have that extra bit of energy

Right im logging off for the evening shortly so goodnight ladies xx

Hi all,
Happy weekend!!
How are you all? - will try and catch up on personals later...

I AM FREE!!!! I finished work yesterday and it hasn't come a moment too soon!! My feet and legs feel like lead!! And I fell asleep at 5.30pm on Thurs, after the school fete!! Having said that, I got some amazing books for the baby - some new - so it now has a library of over 50 books!!!
Also, one of the mums very very kindly gave us a Bugaboo Frog, a Peg Perego car seat, a baby rucksack and a Tomy baby monitor!!!!! Amazing!! She wouldn't take anything for them and they're all in great condition!! I was blown away!! I also was given nearly £200 of John Lewis vouchers, flowers, presents etc etc, so I felt very spoilt!!
Right - the house is a tip and my Mum is coming to visit today, so I'd best be off, but hope you're all ok and will be on later/tomorrow.
Oh - and we're the next thread now!!! AGH!! Can't wait to hear baby news from July/Aug.
Love,
Pxx

im back!!!!
We had a BRILLIANT time, infact, I would love to live in Devon!!
The farm cottages were so cute, and the people there are so friendly!! Ds didnt want to come home! He got to feed the pigs,goats,lambs,rabbits, guinea pigs, turkeys, ducks, hens and alpacas every morning, and collect eggs from the hens for breakfast. the piglets were just outside our kitchen window, so he got to feed them all day with the scraps, and we all grew very fond of one of them...there was 20 piglets
then we got to go to a dinosaur and wildlife park, and a few theme parks, so was entertained all week!!
baby is moving LOADS! I cant believe I am 28 weeks on monday!!! its flying by!!!Dp gave me a hug the other day, and baby kicked him in his belly twice haha!!!! Also.....i didnt want to pick a name for certain untill he is born, but we are after getting very fond of Mylo, so I think he is named already
I have to go get groceries, but I will catch up with you all later xxxxx

Hi Michie, thanks for your good wishes and so glad you had a great hol in Devon!

Hi Jo, Michie and Mandy,
Hope you're all ok - and so glad you had a great hol, Michie! Sounds lovely!

Then I'll stay in London till Thurs, having my hair done (it needs it desperately!) and seeing friends and family.
Back soon - and sending you all loads of love. I am feeling quite slow now! Having loads of Braxton Hicks -and baby SO active! How about the rest of you?

Pxx

Good afternoon,

Welcome back Michie, hope yyour break away has left you feeling nice and refreshed. It sounds like you all had a brill time. Lol at baby kicking dp, mine has a tendancy to do things like that when ds sits on my lap Happy 28 weeks...your right, our pregnancies are definatly flying by

Petal: Happy 30 weeks and yayyyyy to finishing work. You work collegues sound like lovely people and you have done very well with your gifts, did you cry?? I know I would've I have had more braxton hicks but I seem to have them over a two day period, they have eased off again now. A couple of people keep saying my bump has dropped already, I dont agree but im just kind of thinking I have 9 1/2wks left yet it cant have dropped In one respect its still a long time to go but on the other its not long at all lol

Mandy: Happy 27+ weeks. Do you have most things ready now? Are your other dc getting more exited? My ds is VERY protective of my bump and dd wants to buy all his lil outfits bless Dd is realising that 2wks after going back to school baby will be here so shes feeling abit funny about that because she doesnt think she get any time with baby so trying to reassure her that wont be the case

Lisajane: Thankyou for popping over, 18wks already I bet you agree its going fast and I bet you cantwait until your next scan. I hope your pregnancy continues well

Mummym: Thankyou for popping over to stalk us I hope things are going well with yourself and the other lovey ladies

All is well this end, had a mini paddy on sat because not many of my 'nice' clothes fit me any more so may look at getting maternity jeans for the last few weeks. I recently brought some lovely light weight linen trousers but because the weather is soooo shocking I cant really wear them at the mo grrrrr and very few of my tops cover my bump now I think ive just hit another stage where I feel big and heavy but by sunday that feeling had passed again Ive have been sleeping surprisingly well these last few days, not even waking up for the loo.

Okay it feels like ive just written an essay so im going to give your eyes a rest lol
