July 2011 Babies

Thats sucks IHW312 hope they get onto it soon.

My DP had tried all patches etc before nothing worked. My friend lent him a book(ill get more info about it soon) he read it in 2 nights, he also isnt a reader so was very pleased with himself. Then he has just stopped. My friend & DP also gave up from the book. They are both very long time smokers too.

my body is so achy today i think ill have a nice soak in the bath tonight to relax.

I did my first online shop last week also. Was pretty happy. Although i think ill stick to doing it every other week rather than each week. Or ill see how i go when baby arrives

Good on him Meggiemoo - I used to smoke and it is hard to quit.

How good is online grocery shopping!! I love it! Totally worth paying the delivery fee.

Im hoping my MW will start out Birth Plan soon, I want her to let me know in advance so DH can make sure he is there too. Esp with the decisions that need to be made.

My feet have started to swell up and get all tight and ichy. Asked my MW about it but she said nothing to worry about, joys of pregnancy. Cant ever wear shoes at the mo so Im in my jandal at the office - looks hard case.

Hope they settle down as we are flying to Sydney in 2 weeks

Whoever said they were having a long hot bath tonight has made my mind up for me - I have a date with the tub.

Evening everyone, been a long time since I posted in here! You ladies sure can talk!!! Been for a big walk this afternoon, and DD is crashed out in the pram so I have a few minutes to think straight!!!

MW appointment yesterday, she is a bit worried that baby is going to be big (measuring ahead already - I thought it was 1cm/week which makes it only 1 weeks ahead, but she has this weird graph that says different?!?! And I'm WAY off it) which will put paid to my plans to deliver at Birthcare. I suppose it's not TOTALLY unexpected, given that DD was 9lb2, but I'm still now nervous about having a whopper!!!

I filled out my birthplan, fairly basic, take things as they come but I don't want to be offered drugs within 5 minutes of arrival like last time, and NO pethidine! Delayed cord clamping, no ecbolic until cord is cut.

Good luck to all the DH's quitting smoking!

I went nuts before DD was born with the freezer meals, and things are shaping up to be the same this time. Made 2 freezer lasagne's last night, have got meat pies and soup galore, and will have to make up another couple of batches of pasta sauce (I have 11 icecream containers of chopped tomatoes in the freezer courtesy of my wondeful MIL) sometime soon. Maybe when I finish work...

Have a photo session tomorrow morning, going to get some bump pics done, even though it's a bit early the photographer had a good deal! Will put some pics on FB when I get them.

I'd better go, it's pretty much dark and DD is probably being eaten alive outside in the pram... will catch up again eventually!

whoops haven't been on here for ages too! just the odd read now and then. I think those pills are called champex? My friend did it 3 years ago really successfully!

Sorry to hear aobut those having a hard time with medical compliants, stolen wallets. Not good

No sleep for DS today so I am a bit knackered. off to bed early tonight. I have a growth scan next week I am anxious to see how big he is, might be like you Squishysmum... a big baby!

I took photos of my bump and also DS and new babies room, I was going to post to July FB page but I am not sure how?? May get hubby to help...

YAY.. one more day till the weekend.

YAY .... 10 more working days for me!

I wanted to do the whole shopping online thing, but DH is dead against paying the delivery fee. So guess where he is tonight?! The supermarket

Good luck to all the partners giving up smoking. I was a social smoker back in the day, but never got addicted. Thank goodness.

Second night in a row of baking the BEST chocolate chip cookies tonight. They didn't last long and DD and I eat the rest today and DH was a bit put out, so have another batch in the oven.

Chimchmim I'm starting to get very slightly swollen feet too. They feel tight. This pregnancy is heading to be the same as DD. Am expecting my BP to skyrocket any week now, which will mean lots of hours spent at the hospital waiting for the Dr's to make up their minds about eviction. Great.

Haha that was funny

Whats everyone got planned for there weekend. Not much going on here Although i might make up a few batches of soup to freeze.

What other meals are others freezing. I want to know what freezes well?? Thanks

Yay snooze, 10 more working days for me too (after today) Im so excited! Although I know I will get bored very fast. Time to start planning how I will stay sane at home for 5-6 weeks. Im sure my house will sparkle!

Flatties gave notice last night and are moving out next weekend. I GET A BABY ROOM!!! Woohoo!!

No cool about the swelling. Its an aweful feeling aye. Ive been lucky and just get swollen hands while Im in bed. Fingers crossed it stays that way! Fingers crossed your BP dosent skyrocket Jax!!

Had a cramp attack last night in bed, woke up to my leg in a full on knot. Was labour breathing through the pain lol (Thanks antenatal classes)! Lasted about 4 mins and I managed to make it stop by putting my foot on the cold wood of bedside table. Walking with a limp today, think I did a bit of damage I really hope that dosent happen again, holy crap it was painful.

Wicked SMS, my BIL uses online grocheries and it seems so convienient. With free delivery, I might just give it a go!

Awesome Lexiloo. Bet you are excited about babies room. You will have to keep us updated with photos.

Yah for finishing baby hat I gave up on my blanket, i knew i wouldnt finish it by baby being born. Im making a cardigan though so i hope to finish it within the next week or two. So far its going well.

lexiloo wrote: they don't even offer pethidine at palmy hospital any more, i assume the rest of the country will follow suit at some point???

yeah the offer Fentanyl now which is less side effects for mummy and baby but the effects are still there as with any narcotic drug it will pass thru the placenta. good thing is that they can offer in 1/4 and 1/2 doses if you do decide that you want that kind of pain relief :)

gas is usually all i need so am hoping can do the same again thsi time or maybe with none? hmmm if baby is early like DS2 then baby will be born in 5 weeks time! (or next month) DEEP BREATHs !

 

My dad used to be a 75 ciggies a day smoker. It drove us all nuts! One thing that stopped in smoking was being hypnotised.
He was convinced it was a crock, so went along to prove to everyone that it was. Every-time he tried to have a ciggie he was violently ill (it was almost funny seeing him working and talking on the phone, smoking and almost vomiting at the same time). He did start smoking again for a few years, but that was through pure determination. He said it was the hardest couple of months of his life trying to start smoking after being hypnotised. There was no sympathy from us, only disappointment.

Keep on at them though. Dad was diagnosed terminal in the late 50s. Unless you DP's are as big an idiots as my dad was it might work for them.
