April/May/June 2012 Moomies

Morning Ladies,

Shew, it's really quiet.. What are everyone up too?

2kidmamma, Shame, its sounds like you will be crazy busy until the very last week of work. And all this while having to deal with terrible last trimester symptoms. Luckily it is the last stretch. Try to get in a bit of rest in between.

Firefly, I am so happy for you. Exams all done! I hope baba turns before your scan later this week.

Me, I have a cold - not fun. Lene got sick, and whenever she does - mommy always follow Also having more braxton hicks, heartburn and piles (because of constipation)! Eish. And Round ligament pains - is it ever gonna stop?!

Still working until the end of the month, 4 weeks to go - yikes Packed out all baba's clothes this weekend. Busy getting everything ready. This weekend I want to go buy my toiletries - then I can pack my bags. The end is in sight...

Congratulations MariBiscuit! I can't wait to hear your birth story

Adele - Since last week I started waking up feeling really stiff, especially my lower back and hips. I fall asleep fine but also have all these achy bits when I wake up. I've been going to my chiropractor weekly so she helps to take out the stiffness but I also just recently decided to splurge on one of those massive, body-sized pregnancy pillows. It is AWESOME My sleep is worth the price that I paid for it. Helps support my belly, my back and my hips, so I wake up a little twinge-y but nothing near what it was like before. It takes up half the bed but it's wonderfully comfortable!

2kmm - Sounds like you are so hectically busy at the moment, hope you're not getting too stressed. Sorry to hear about all the yucky pregnancy side effects, can't be fun to deal with all of that while you're moving and so busy at work.

AFM, FINALLY finished with exams and papers I am so happy but also a little sad that my program is over. I still have a few admin stuff to sort out before graduation but now I can really start focusing on baby things and pack my hospital bag and stuff! Though I totally need a pre-natal massage to release all the exam tension I've got stored up in my body.

Baby is getting rather heavy, I am feeling quite big these days and I also feel all sorts of little baby bits and bones poking out, lol, dh and I are always trying to guess if its feet/elbows/knees. Also, baby boy was head up a couple of weeks ago so my midwife wants us to do another scan this week to see what his position is, so we're doing that on Thursday. In the meantime I'm doing the stuff on the spinning babies website to try and make sure that I'm in the optimum position for baby to turn head down.

Hi all

Just popping in quickly to say hi. It's super super busy at work as i am trying to wrap up everything before starting my maternity leave on the 18th of May and we are moving offices as well. We move officially on the 14th and then i must unpack and get my stuff together so that I can go off on leave knowing I have left everything right for the people that will be taking over from me while I am away. I have been writing procedural manuals for a few weeks now so that has been keeping me very busy.

Congratulations MariBuscuit, that is great news. I do hope it all went well and smooth and that all your worry that you had was for nothing.

I wonder how it is going with MichelleJvv and Rebecca. Have been thinking about her alot.

I am huge and uncomfortable, have terrible braxton hicks, heartburn and consitpation. My Baby has definately turned thankfully but has also engaged because I have the most aweful pressure down below making it very difficult to walk or do just about most things these days. it didn't really matter too much as I am having the C-section though so here's hoping this baby doens't decide to spring an early labour on me in the middle of the night sometime before the 28thw hen the C-sec is going to be. I don't fancy the idea of a premature birth. 38 weeks is early enough in my opinion and I am comforatble with that.



Anyhoo, gotta get going now

Morning Everyone,

It is super quiet Firefly, hoping it will heat up soon again. I miss everyone. Good luck for your exams this week. Holding thumbs that it goes super well.

Maribiscuit, congratulations with the birth of Heinro. Good luck with the first couple of days. I am looking forward to hear how you are doing.

How are you doing, Nosh? And everyone else? Still coping?

Me, the aches and pains really geared up a bit. Anyone else also have trouble getting a good night's rest? If I don't have to go to the loo, I wake up with these crazy pains that feel like round ligament pains that doesn't want to go away. In my next life I am definately having my children in my 20's!

Last month of work before I go on Maternity leave, YAY! At least then I can take it a bit easier. I still have so much to do before baba comes. I wonder if we are ever ready?

congratulations!!! would love to hear more
