Due in Dec

Oh Zoe I love your scan pic's, & yes that is definately unmistakable girly bits...I've not got my growth scan until 36  weeks so still a couple of weeks yet. 

Sorry for lack of personals also...

Talked to my parents on the phone earlier today and mum really doesnt know what to do about coming for the birth. Im due mid december so suggested she comes at the start of the month but she said she couldnt miss that much work. she said she would take it week by week and see what happens and I thought WTF week by week? Ill give birth and then she'll say oh I missed out.
Later called my sis to wish her a happy birthday and she said Oh mum hasnt told you theres a gel and acrylic nail course starting on thhe 15th of December that mum wants to do.
Aha so thats why she wants to take it 'week by week'
called mum back and told her not to worry about being here for the labour Ill be fine and she can stay home and do her course.
She said she was too sleepy to talk

lol dagster- i agree with the ambos- better safe than sorry- and i get you on the no energy to study thing- i thought about it then thought- "definitely tuesday i will start studying for exams!- and il enjoy the holiday!"

 

motherof7- it has been a great few days for you! it mustve felt so great yet such a short time to catch up on 11 years!

 

drama- i hope your mum will make it and im sure she would rather be at the birth than her course!

 

spent today with DH and Ane having a gay ol family time.........mind you i did spend a good part of the day bickering and being annoyed at everything DH said or did-so i put it down to just being damned uncomfortable with my belly and walking-sitting-everything! have a good night everyone!

Wow someone else is still awake! and would you look at the time and im still up!!!
Just made it home from our dinner party and had a great time. Food was great, heaps of chocolate after dinner and someone brought a game round of conversation starter cards - it was hillarious!!!
Got a text from my sis saying I shouldnt hold it agai9nst mum that she wants to do this course as she sees it as a potential job and its important to her just as my job is important to me and she wants to be at both and is struggling to decide. whatever - still offended.
Anyway its bed time - have a good night everyone!

Isn't it weird that the closer we get to our due dates the less we are posting? lol.

Sorry Becky can't really help u regarding the itching. I've been incredibly itchy through most of the pregnancy but I was already prone to excema... I got a referral to a dermatologist which was very helpful...

Ooh a Nov mum in labour in the other thread- exciting!

Hope you and your mum have sorted things out dramateyz... I'd be offended too..

Hope your ankle is all good now dagster!

Aargh so much study to do..

Have a good day!

Good morning

Drama, it must be frustrating for you with the lack of communication from your mum, or rather the lack of clear communication. The birth of a grandchild, especially your first, is a once in a lifetime event, where as a nail course isn't a once off. I hope you get it sorted out with her. You've got enough on your plate at this time in your life, without someone else disrupting the plans. Big hugs

SD, I hope you're feeling better about the labour and birth. I admit I'm more worried about having a newborn at home than I am the labour/birth, but that could change at anytime . I've read the hypnobirthing book and that made me feel more informed and comfortable. I just got it out from the central library.

Becky, I'm glad you had an awesome BS and that you're little one got spoilt!

Dagster, I hope your ankle is okay now. It must of been such a fright.

I hope everyone else is having a good long weekend. Motherof6, hopefully you're still in one piece

I went shopping with DH on saturday and we had fun shopping for him. He's not one who likes clothes shopping for himself, but he let me loose and we ended up with some good purchases. Also caught up with my brother and SIL on saturday afternoon too.
Yesterday we visited a friend who has a 4 week old little boy and it was so good see what we're in for, lol. Today is housework day, so I've done most of the washing so far and everything else is staring at me , so I'd better go.

Have a great day!!

Morning all,

Yes I have noticed that the closer to the due dates the more quite it is in here. No doubt if anyone goes over their due date there will be more posts lol.

My ankle is better now thanks everyone. It was kinda scary mostly thinking I am so heavy how could I move properly lol.

drama - Your mum sounds like my MIL she says one thing and does the complete opposite. It can be very fustrating.

I watched From Here to Maternity yesterday after about a week lol, and all I could do was start having tears in my eyes, must mean since getting closer its more emotional (in a happy way).

I have done our budget for next year when I go back to work woo hoo we will be able to move out I cant wait. Just staying put so I can have longer at home but we really want our own space. I even said to DH that next Christmas I want it alone will our new family. DOUBT IT!!!! LOL.

Well back to studying Finance equations I hate finance.

Afternoon

 

Drama things will work out fine for you. It would be great if your mum is here for the birth coz as Debs said it truely is a once in a life time event. I had my Grand mother at my birth as I was the 1st grandchild and she was also at my 1st daughters birth which was her 1st great grandchild.

 

Glad to hear your ankle is better Dagster...

 

My ankles are looking more like Kanckles now, My feet and ancles get so swollen my toes look rather odd poking out at the top of my foot...

 

Only 6 & abit weeks left now and I hope it goes fast....My son is very squirmy and his movements look so funny.... My BH's are getting pretty good to now so IM hoping they're starting to make my cervix start to efface....

 

Motherof6 how are you feeling? Any sign of the little falla arriving?

 

Took the kids to the park this morning and now they're conked out on the couch.

 

Not much planned for the rest of the day, I might try and have a nana nap after I browse thru some more posts and i might pop into the Nov posts and see how The labouring lady is going...

 

BBL

Motherof6, he might be trying to wriggle his way out. Bummer bout the roids coming back, they will be the last things you want hanging around if you were to go into labour soon...Thats what Im worried about is having them when I go into labour, Coz I dont want to end up in hosp again after I have my son and have all those spunky looking Dr's looking at my bum all the time...

Evening all...

 

Gosh 1 of the girls from the Nov board had her bubs this morning and only had a 4-5 hour labour and birth and now she's home plus she was her  first labour and birth,  She sure is a legend..Good on her I say...

 

Motherof6, are you feeling any better?
