Im back for good! Or as good as can be in this place! We have one VERY clever IT man & I do get a bit dubious/paranoid that they are monitoring what Im doing .. but if they are, they are! I often dont take lunch breaks & such so if I were ever questioned about what I was doing Id think of something! My new desk is a lot more private than the last, but as I have someone else's files behind me, I keep getting people hovering - which is annoying! But still, maybe I shouldnt moan so much!

My movements arent that random! I get loads of kicks or punches right on my hip bones, its really quite a bizarre feeling & one that I dont remember having with either Jasmine or Charlie! Got my 30 week check up soon, so will ask the dippy midwife to check the position of Ruby again, not that I hold out much hope! Im telling you she was terrible. if she couldnt organise a simple routine appt & have the right equipment needed then god knows how she'd deliver a baby!

My friends wife's baby is due tomorrow & my other friend is due on 13th - neither of which are showing any signs of labour! I just want to squeeze their babies!!! It really wont be long for us now will it? I finish work 8 weeks tomorrow, which sounds quite long but xmas is in 3 wks then Im off for a wk then I'll come back & the last 4 wks will fly by! YAY!!!! Cant wait!  xxxxxxxxx

Marie ih ave some movments there too! its really werid, mainly a fluttery feeling there.

thanks for the reassurance Rach, I know its just horrible when you are worrying and parnoid you just cant help it when youf eel something you are unsure about.

I think baby is just lying really oddly today as have been achy all day. naughly baby! Need to jump around get him/her to move! 

Wendy I want your fluttery feelings ... Ruby is booting me like a football.  If she's not laying across my belly from side to side then I think she spends most of her time breach as all her kicks are low in my pelvis! I havent really had any of the uncomfortable rib kicks yet which I thought I would have by now?!

I think Ive read everyone is experiencing trouble sleeping & Im not different! I can only lie comfortably on my right hand side, if I lay on my left she'll move & wriggle around until I finally move! We brought a really lovely mattress earlier on in the year which has this built in memory foam topper (its lush) until I try heaving my fat pregnant arse out of the bed in the middle of the night & fall back into the crater that Ive created!  But hey ho, such as life! Not experiencing any cramps or anything yet but I do get that shooting pain from my spine down my legs, which makes you think your legs are going to buckle underneath you!

Where is everyone else today? x

yey marie your back! i have the same thing in my back and leg its siatica and really hurts kev has to lift me off the floor when i sit wrapping presents! i told kev i had a achy pain in my leg this morning and he started getting really paranoid that it was something worse like a clot or something he types all symptoms i hav into NHS direct to make sure its nothing bad! at least he cares! was hoping he would be home by now but hes probably stuck in traffic, i have been putting up decorations it looks quite pretty in living room now but could do with having a mary poppins bag to hide all the crap that i have seems like i just move it to another place where it looks just as messy!

we really need a new matress we were going to buy one for ourselves as an xmas present but havnt got round to it yet we were going to get a memory foam one aswell just want a good nights sleep!

hayden is kicking quite high its nice to know hes there though!

rach thats so nice your hubby got flowers for you, things like that make all the difference to your day i find!

im really tierd now think all the decorating has worn me out havnt even thought about dinner yet! really fancy chinese now marie has mentioned it!

Hi anne - its nice to be back! Thats the word I couldnt think of "siatica" and yes it bloody hurts! I dont get it very often, but when you've got out of bed at 3am to go for a pee it seems to hurt even more than normal.

Im absolutely exhausted, dont know why but I really cant stop yawning! I went to sleep at 9pm last night too - where's all my energy gone? James is working nights again tonight so I should be in bed for about 8pm - I love going to bed early, how sad am I?

Glad to hear Hayden is making his presence known! How's the adorable casey? Ive loved all the pictures of him you've sent to me, he's so scrummy!

We're not putting our tree up until next week as we're out most of this weekend & I dont think i want the xmas tree up on my birthday, am I weird?

Well its nearly home time, so I'll say my goodbye's ... speak to you all tomorrow! xxx

ye get an early night marie god saying that used to mean something else!not these days!

kev starts on the railway on saturday forgot to say hes doing that aswell as his normal job but hes looking forward to it so see how it goes!

i wouldnt want xmas tree up if it was my birthday either best hold on it will last longer aswell!

i think siatica hurts more at night cause your nice and warm then get cold and that makes it 10 times more painful!

casey is just having a quick snooze he was getting abit miserable and cause hes trying to crawl around all the time it nakers him out so just having a cuppa! and its bliss xxx

Well i'm glad you're back Marie! Speak to you tomorrow. xxx

Lol Anne, i said to James the other night "Bet you miss the days when going to bed early meant naughtiness." and he kinda went in to a daydream and went "Yeeeeaaaahh" Lol distant memory now hehe!

xxx

Its funny isnt it! now its early nights and granny knickers!

im off now tot he shops to buy bigger mat trousers! mine are getting tighter by the day!

x

ye, poor things!

i feel annoyed now cause we had planned to get our tree when kev got home but he has popped into his friends on the way home so think it will be too late to go when he gets back and casey will need his tea, i think im just getting annoyed over a small thing really but it only cause ive been putting up all the decorations today and like to get the job finished hate half finished jobs!he said we can do it at the weekend but we have so much to do at the weekend and kev has to work 2 jobs dont know when we will fit it all in!

anyway thats my winge over! im going to relax this evening if we arnt putting tree up! watch eastenders, im a celeb ect! better get some supplies of choccy!xxxxxxxxx

Oh no Anne, no tree?! How rude! Oh well, get some treats in and watch tv, always a good way to chill!

Wendy, i need new maternity trousers too. I'm sitting at my desk with mine undone as they are too tight now
