Lauras Diary of Incubating

29+4 -- 08/10/2013 -- TUESDAY

Hiya girls.

Well I was away Saturday and Saturday night for the christening down the country. Had a great day and loved seeing all my sisters and their children. Loved relaxing in the hotel that night too and having a delicious breakie all made for us the next day. Was nice to not have to cook or clean for a few days. The kids loved it. My sister had a bouncy castle and they loved it.

Yesterday I was tired after all the traveling but managed to clear the clutter out of my larder. So one less bigger job to do :D.

I've an anti-natal appointment tomorrow in the clinic. I didn't get my bloods done at 28 weeks so I'll be getting them done. I have a scan then on Friday in the hospital, they are checking babies growth again. So this week is busy enough with baby stuff. Think I will sort out the babys room at some stage this week too. Just the chest of drawers really because baby won't actually be in there till he/she is 6 months.

My food lately hasn't been great. I've a very small appetite and because of the tiredness I seem to want rubbish to give quick energy. I am trying to eat good food though and if it is ready to prepare quickly I'm more likely to eat it. Need to start preparing my snacks better.

xx
 
Glad you had a nice few days and great you got to have your food handed to you too... Nothing like it :)

I hear ya re the small appetite.. The last 2 nights I've had a bowl of cornflakes for dinner and felt like I'd stuffed my face!!!!
Am packing in the fresh fruit tho so not missing any goodness :) xx
 
Glad you had a lovely weekend :)

Tiredness makes you grab quick and easy stuff (I'm exactly the same) I keep saying that in my moments of energy I'll prepare something like a big fruit salad to our in the fridge so I can pick at that when hungry rather than having a chocolate bar or something equally as bad for me! I'm still waiting for the energy increase ;)
 
Glad you had a lovely weekend. You deserve a few days off cooking and cleaning :) x
 
Thanks girls. I really did enjoy it and I've the other night away with my sisters and mammy to look forward to on the 2nd November.

Running around all day today, did food shop and bits and pieces. Food was alright today but I've a hankering for a turnocks snow ball that may have made its way into my trolley ;)
 
Oooh are snowballs the marshmallow ones with coconut (?) On the outside?

Ohh yeah the ones with the really gooey marshmallow and choc and coconut outer bit. I usually get a big box to myself at christmas mmmmyummy. I have decided to keep them for tomorrow and have a dairy milk instead. :D
 
Oh I love those things....haven't had one in years, now I'm tempted!!

Glad you had a good weekend and I wouldn't worry too much about your food, with all the sickness you've had the main thing is to eat something you like & keep it down!
 
Hi hun,

How are you today? :) xx

Hiya Chick, not so bad thank you. Slept the whole night through. Had an anti-natal check-up today. Got bloods done to check iron levels and got the flu vaccine done. Listened to babys heart beat (140bpm) which my son was so funny listening too, he kept saying 'whats that' and looking under the wee bed thing lol. The midwife thought he was really funny. He watched me getting bloods done too and was really puzzled looking lol.
I've a scan now on Friday at 5p.m but today midwife said that baby felt a good size to her and not to worry. I said I was trying not to think about it too much and just go with the flow.

Aw, glad all seems ok and you slept through :) Makes a difference doesn't it when you get some sleep! Yeah, definitely try not to worry. I'm sure the scan will go ok Friday, and if midwife seems happy then just gotta try and relax. I think your "just go with it" attitude is great - it's the best way to be. No point in worrying or stressing about something that might not happen. I'm sure you'll be ok.


And bless your son for being all intrigued/confused lol :) xx

29+6 -- 10/10/2013 -- THURSDAY

I had a busy day, I have discovered that if I wash the floor on my hands and knees my back doesn't hurt, so finally got my kitchen/living area floor done...its been about 5 months sinse it had a good wash. I am delighted now looking at it because the rest of the room finally looks finished iykwim.

Food today was alright. I did fancy some comfort food so made homemade chips, sausages and beans for dinner and it was yummy.

Tomorrow is my scan day. The scan isn't till 5p.m so I'll be killed waiting all day. I'm gonna take my son to Mothers and Toddlers in the morning to pass the time, then might go to lunch with the hubby (he had taken the morning off as the app. was supposed to be at 10 but was moved) at midday, then collect daughter from school, do the laundry (her uniform and bits and pieces), then it'll be time to drop kids at my moms and up the road to the hospital. My bump has definately grown again in the last few days so if they say baby is any smaller I'm gonna refuse to believe them. Baby feels big to me, it can fairly move about anyway and seems to be poking out at all angles lol.

So hope everyone has a good evening and sleeps well tonight xx
 
I love your opening, if I get down on my hands and knees!!! Glad you got your floor done though!

Hope you're scan goes ok, it all sounds positive from you & even the midwife thinks babies not small, so could be good news :)

Sounds like a nice day planned tomorrow, hope you don't go stir crazy waiting!!
 
Laura-you're a nutter! And I'm only saying it cos I care. Hehe. Well I'm glad you feel better bout the house-it will be fine for another 5/6 months again! :D
Good luck with scan-sounds like a lovely day. :D

I can't help it Frances, I get figidy, I can't really sit still for long. But at this stage now I have to sit every 30mins or so anyway so I have little bursts of energy inbetween. Hubby just laughs at me now. He thinks its halarious you can hear me coming a mile away because I'm a bit breathless and heavier on my feet lol and I'm always doing something. He's off today and he's already given out to me about 5 times for doing things I'd normally be at when he isn't here anyway.

We did take the little man to an indoor soft play place for mothers and toddlers today. I couldn't get through the big roller things beside the slide to help my son up the step, my friends and hubby thought it was so funny. I was kinda wedged for a wee while hehe. Definately bump has had a big growth spurt in the last few days. Can't imagine how much bigger I'm gonna get in the next few weeks. But hey I am 30 weeks and on the big count down now eeeeekkkk
 
Happy 30 Weeks hun!!!!!! :D xx
