No I didn't have a life last night! Just unfortunate that my Friday night's a different time to yours lol!
Kyle I'm am a bit squeamish but I don't know, maybe it'll be different cause I'm the one having the op and waiting for my bub!

Please don't tell me everybody else has a life on a Friday night!?!?! We don't even have Sky yet and I'm bored with normal TV! Run out of energy to do more cleaning or unpacking too!!
Where is everybody

That's sounds even more yucky than labour!!
Eat some toast ( my current favourite!!), or crisps or chocolate?? Can you tell what I want
Can't believe the suns just come out - it's too late now! Have to get ready to go and register at the new Drs and hope that they'll take us!!
I'm fed up with packing and unpacking - where are the fairies when you need them?!?! Or even the boy scouts - do they still do "bob a job" day?!?!

It is really strange knowing when bub is going to arrive. I was induced with Isaac. But even then you're still not very sure when bub will arrive.
It was just strange yesterday with the anaesthetist telling me that from when the spinal block has been done to the baby being delivered will only be a few minutes! They give you an information leaflet and in this leaflet it tells you to expect to feel some pulling and tugging and strange noises like hearing the amniotic fluid being suctioned away lol! Oh, that'll be fun!

Kylé- I know how oy feel, that's how I was in the flat - I can't tell you how good it is now! But, make that bit of grass your own?!!? Nothing wrong with pot noodles, just trying to decide on lunch myslef - keep thinking about cheese and beans on toast though
Paula - Fingers crossed that it really will only be 4 sleeps and you get your section!! Must be weird though knowing exactly when lo will arrive?! I keep trying to make plans for next week as people are coming to see me and I also need ot go to London to get my nursing bras, but can't make firm plans in case lo decides to arrive!!
It's stopped raining now, but no sign of the sun so I guess it really is an afternoon of chores for me!!

Hey ladies. Yes I really want to get excited about Tuesday but I still have images of them telling me that bub's turned and I'm not getting it done! But if worst comes to the worst and that does happen then I'm going to ask for an induction cause I don't want to chance it in case bub turns to breech again!
But looking at it optimistically, FOUR SLEEPS TO GO!!!!
Can you tell I'm counting down the days!?
-
9/5/08 12:44
Im doing nothing today, feel a bit knackered, thinking about it I have done quite a lot of walking the last few days and think its caught up with me now. Just done my ironing now watching loose women, going to go to the shop in a min to buy a dirty pot noodle, cant get enough of them for some reason, not exactly full of nutrition
Shame its raining and you cant go in the garden, just think you'll have all summer though....Im so jealous, Im in a flat, got a bit of grass outside but its not the same.

Morning ladies!!
Hope you're all doing well? Hope the bumps and babies ar e feeling good and behaving this morning! Very annoyed today! Survived 38+6 with no stretch marks, woke up this morning and have some?!?!?! What's that all about
Wanted to go in the garden this afternoon after doing my chores this morning - and it's raining?!!? Oh well, at least it's made me do all my phone calls - and have got an appt at the local GP tonight to register - fingers crossed they will take us!!Got the kitchen nearly sorted now, just unpacking and washing the last few bits now, then off to clean again! I'm bored of it all though!! Might go on Wii Fit for a bit - at least work off some of the crisps and chocolate I've eaten!!
Di - of course, it goes without saying that you are on my list of people to text when it all starts!! That goes without saying?!
What's everybody up to today then?

Morning ladies!!!!
How is everyone today?
Kyle - So sorry to hear you are feeling fed up, those last weeks just seem to drag on and on. I know what you mean about people always asking if you have had babyyet too!! I had one friend who kept saying it tpo me when I still had 8 wks left!!!!
Amanda - well done you on getting organised!! I'm so proud of you. I'm glad I'm not the only person who scrubbed everything before it could get put away. Graham thought I wa barking when I had to wash everything before I could use it!!! And at the risk of really annoying you
- there are THREE people you have to inform when your contractions start - Nana, your mum, and me. Otherwise I can't keep the girls on Bounty informed!!!!! It's my solemn duty as your text buddy 
It is really annoying tho' when people just keep ringing and asking tho isn't it? I'm glad I've got that bit out of the way.
Poppy - Are you getting excited about having bubs? I hope everthing goes well for you next week, I'm all excited that our little group are having their babies.
Hope you girls have a good day today (don't work tooo hard Amanda!!!), sending you lots of hugs!!!
Take care

Oooh I can so relate to the "are you still here!" I have friends in Scotland sending me messages asking why I haven't had the baby yet. HELLO, I'm not due til the end of next week!
I was at the hospital for my pre admission appointment yesterday and it's beginning to feel very real. Although it will feel more real once I've had my ante natal appointment on Monday. I've been given my anti bacterial wash for my shower the night before and on the day. Have to wash my hair with it too and it works wonders on your hair (not!) leaves it feeling like cr@p! I've also got to get Dan to shave my bits! Not all of it, just a strip at the top. Never, ever thought I'd be letting Dan that close with a razor in hand lol!
I think I'll feel so much better once I've had my appointment on Monday and I know no one's going to cancel my section on Tuesday!
Anyway, I should make a move. It's after 11.30 and Isaac is still running about in his pjs, bad mummy!

Oh dear - feeling twitchy today Kylé!?! I know what you mean, people keep saying to me "ooh, not long now eh?" - how do you know?!?! A couple of my friends assume that i'm waiting at home by the phone fpor them to call with nothing to do, so if they call and I don't answer (god forbid I'd be in the toilet!), they assume I've obviously gone into labour!! And if one moe person says to me "text me when the contractions start" - well, I won;t be responsible for my actions!! I will be calling Nana and my mum and that's it!! They can all wait til the baby arrives and lump it!!!
Anyway, rant over!! How are you all ladies?! It's been soooooooooooooooo quiet on here today?!?! Not that I've been in anyway, but I checked as soon as I got home?! Had a sneaking suspicion Kylé might have been trying to pip me to the post and have the lo!! Had my hair cut last night - very continental out on my new patio!! Then today I had my reflexology, a facial and my eyebrows done! I'm now offically skint, but feeling and looking good!!
Ooh, and we have 1 livable room!! I've finally finished cleaning the kitchen and unpacking it!! Just have 4 more boxes to unpack and wash - but there's an end in sight!! Tomorrow I'm on a bathroom cleaning mission!!
-
8/5/08 21:12
Im getting bored now girls! I know I should be making the most of this time but Im having trouble walking far now so its hard to be normal!!! And everyone is texting everyday to see if Ive had him, I wouldnt mind to much if I'd gone over but he still isnt actually due for another week, AARGGHHH!
Anyway, rant over and done with.
You all well?

Luckily we have a dishwasher!! I've done 4 loads in there now so everythign going into the cupboards is clean! Done 7 loads fo washing as well, can't stand it all dirty and hanging around so thought I'd do it while Nanas not here
Halfway through the litchen, been pacing myself and he can cook dinner tonight when he gets home as I'm having my hair cut as a reward!! At least I've found the cutlery and crockery at last!! On a roll now!!
Loving the ideas of last man standing - have a feeling that despite what the MW says, it will be me!!
Anyway - girls aloud are calling and there's more wahisng to be hung out! Back again soon!!

Amanda - glad you are enjoying yourself hun!!!!
I totally agree that you can't put things away in dirty cupboards. Even when they look clean I think you end up srubbing them anyway cos you want them to be as you want them to be. Tell Nana it'sa hormone thing (milk it while you can hun).
I'm sure you can allow yourself some time in the garden - it would make you more productive if you pace yourself.
I've had a word with your jb too so that should be 2 calm laid back babies on the way. (I don't do refunds tho !!!!)
Oh, and I/'m loving the idea of you all delivering together!!! Maybe we should give a prize to last bump buddy standing!!! A\reward for all her patience!!!!
Any way, gonna go and clean while my monkey is quiet
Take care girls

Afternoon ladies!!
I'm being very naughty and skivving for a while!! Spent all morning on the phone sorting out changing over the utilities and registering for things, so feel a bit better about it all now. Keep looking longingly at the garden though - I just want to get out there and veg on the grass! BUT, I must go in the kitchen and clean cupboards and start putting things away so we can at least eat and have one functional room! Nanas going ma with my cleaning, just wants to unpack and out things away (in dirty cupboards!?!!?) Apparently we can take it all out when we have more time - yeah right, once JB arrives what time will we have?!?!
Anyway, Di - glad Katilyns brought the nice weather and is chilled for you. I second Kylé on the fact that I want a chilled one too please? Kylé - get out walking, but don't you dare go into labour - I will not be left the onley childless one!! We'll have to have sycronised labours?!? Paula - Sorry bubs isn't playing, but I'm sure you'll use your charms on them at your appt?!?!
Right - I'm off to dance around the kitchen to girls aloud and clean!!
Catch you all later when I allow myslef another break - probably about 5 mins lol!!

I thought that the mummy buddy idea ws inspired too kyle!!!!
I can't believe that in a few weeks time we will all be mummies!!!! It only seems like 5 mins since I was first posting here asking if I could join your little gang!!! Which, btw, I'm really glad I did. As Ashleigh said before, I couldn't have wished for a nicer group of girls to share all the ups and downs of pg with.
As for the laid back baby bit - I'll have a word with him for you!!!! I'm sending be good and laid back vibes as I type. lol.
Loving the idea of the walk in the park as well. I was thinking of going to the park this afternoon too. It may just stop my mother from hovering over Kaitlyn waiting for the first sign of a whimper so that she can pick her up!!! I swear that woman is driving me potty!!! Still the sunshine will be good for the jaundice too.
Amanda - I'm with you on the water retention thing too. Never something I really ever had when I was pg, and then I give birth and swell up like a barrage balloon!!! So not fair!!!
I can't even wear my wedding rings anymore. Still I'm sure it won't last forever!!!! How's the unpacking going? Found any clothes yet? You'll be organised before you know it!!! It is hard tho', can't imagine trying to do it when I'm that pg tho'. Hopefully your lo will hang on a wee bit longer for you.Anyhow, I'm waffling on again - I'm gonna go and make some sandwiches for the kids for the park, and escape out for a bit. Sending labour vibes to those who want them, and calming vibes to your babies (just don't blame me if it doesn't work!!!)
Take care

Di Im liking the mummy buddy idea! Nice to here that you've got a laid back baby, I want one!!! You'll sort it for me wont you?
Amanda, before the week is out??!!? Im going to be the last...
It is a lovely day here again so Im off out for a walk, might take a book and go past a park. Think I'll have to find a bench to sit on though, wish I could lie on the grass but I wouldnt be able to get back up again! Id be there until I gave birth!!
See ya later girls!!

Morning ladies!!!!
Hope you are all well.
Amanda - I'm sooo pleased you are finally in your lovely new house. Who cares about the boxes!!! It's yours and nanas and jb's!!!. And broadband so quick - that I'm jealous about. It took us weeks to get hooked up. Can't believe the mw thinks your bubs could be here so quick!!! I'm getting so excited for you now - I want some company as a new mummy now!!!! (I know, I know, I'm greedy!!!!)
Kyle - Hope the bh turn into something for you soon hun. They can be so uncomfortable, and frustrating when nothing comes of them. But I agree, a good walk while you are having them is a good idea - helps baby move into pelvis, plus gives you something to concentrate on if they gey painful. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you, Kaitlyn needs some Bounty Buddies!!!!!!!
Poppy - I hope your little monkey plays ball for you at your next appt. Altho like you say, with more room to move because it's not your first - then bubs could just keep flipping round!!!! Good luck anyway hun, hope it all works out.
Well, Kaitlyn is doing fine, feeding well, pooping well, burping well!!!! She is really really good, even at night (only being woken up once a night!!!!). She is really laid back, altho I don't know how she manages to be in our house. I've now got soooo much pink stuff, I'm never going to get to use most of it, but it's fun playing with it all. The boys seem to adore her too. Just worried that my family is gonna spoil her. My Mum is already behaving like she only has one grandchild - not 5. Callum has been feeling a little pushed out (gonna have a wordwith her later). Sorry about the essay girls, got loads to say and not much time , will have to come back later on and bore you some more.
Enjoy the sunshine - another gorgeous day here!!!! I feel like Kaitlyn has brought the sunshine for us!!!! Get busy - and get those baby's out, I wanna Mummy buddy!!!
Take care girls - love to you all
Di (and gang!!!) xxxxx
