Lauras Diary of Incubating

Well I am royally pissed off. My hormones must be all over the place. I could quite happily have packed a bag and headed off for a few days by myself today. I think making the dinners and doing all the dishes all the time is getting to me. ....especially since I haven't actually eaten dinner in about a month! I need to calm myself I think. Bed early tonight I think

Oh Laura that creeps up on me too.. Even though I've not been eating dinner I feel obliged to do J his as he's working late most nights and i'm in before him anyway most days..
But then dishes are just left on the table for me to clear up after him.. Most days it doesn't bother me in the slightest.. But some days, out of nowhere I feel like smashing them over his head!!
 
I don't think it's the hormones or the need for bed, it's just you're rightly so getting fed up with running around after folk (one in particular I bet!) who just take you for granted. Hope you make it to bed & tomorrow's a better day :)
 
Yeah I think you are all right. Its a normal creeping up of pissed off'edness! I would love if one day someone would make me a nice dinner. Think the fact too that all my spare cash (the little I had for me) is going on the food shop now with the uncle in law to feed too. No doubt I'll be grand tomorrow.
 
Oh I know Laura... I told J earlier its my BDay next month.. I don't make a big deal of my bday n like to ignore it but just realised so said it out.. he asked "do I have to get you something?" (he says this every year...seems to be his thing.. saying that tho we don't spend stupid money on each other) and I said "yea.. I would like for you to cook dinner.. serve it up to me for a change.. and you do the clean up while I sit back and just relax for the evening"
He looked at me like i'd gone nuts n said "i'll light some candles n ring the chipper!" What a catch I've landed!!!!

Yea but only last night he was giving me a "lecture" about eating so many take aways (prob 3 in a month!!)...
I keep saying to him I need him to give a hand out.. He says he's no problem helping.. Tried the next day but i'm feeling ok so tell him its grand.. And that's the end of him offering.. I need to learn to shut up and let him help

Ohh god yeah if he is keen to help, write him a list and set him to work lol.
 
Hi hun,

How are you getting on? Sorry to hear hubby hasn't been very helpful. I feel your pain beecause mine is pretty much useless when it comes to helping out around the house.

Hope you're feeling a bit better today xxx
 
Hope you're doing ok. I find it hard to keep up with everyones diaries some days and I dont have two little ones to keep an eye on too. Hope you're relaxing as much as you possibly can x
 
31+2 -- 20/10/2013 -- SUNDAY -- (contains tmi)

OMG my baby hates me, everytime I got comfortable last night and was about to drop off baby started kicking or trying to push its whole self out through my skin lol. I tried to just rest then but I'm knackered!!!....I couldn't help but smile at baby though, love the movements :D

Today I think me, hubby and kids are gonna head to Toyz R Us after lunch. I need to get a new mattress for my cot, there is a big imprint of my son on the old one lol. I need to get my hospital bag sorted this week too so gonna go to the boots up there too and get the little bottles of shampoo and body wash. I've enough nighties, towels, face clothes....I can't find my baby mittens, hats or baby socks either so need to get new ones of them too. Good I'm so excited now. I can't imagine having another baby!

My sisters and their kids were up at the weekend. I got lots of cuddles from my newest niece (12 weeks old). Brought it all back:D. My son was just staring and staring at her and holding her little hand. My daughter couldn't get enough cuddles and loved just sitting there holder her. I hope they are as gentle and excited when their new brother/sister gets here:rolleyes:.

My diet isn't so good lately. Morning sickness is back and I don't seem to be tolerating even my more gently iron supplement so well. I've had lots of diarrhea and breathlessness. I got so hot in the shower yesterday and when I was cleaning the basin (I always do this while I'm in there anyway lol) I got a ringing noise in my ears and got really really dizzy, everything kinda went dark. I sat down for a while till it passed but won't be bending over too much from now on! I'm in for the clinic on Wednesday anyway so I'll let the doctor know but I know it can be common at this stage in pregnancy, the baby has re-arranged my whole insides at this stage.

Must go feed the kids now, chat later xx
 
Oh no, shame you're getting sick again & dizzy - not good.

Oooh getting your hospital bag ready sounds exciting!!

Hope you have a lovely family day & the kids don't go too mental in toys r us! :)
 
Hi hun x

Sorry to hear you're suffering again x They say the 3rd Trimester is as bad as the 1st, if not worse don't they :( On the upside, hospital bag packing = yay!! and it does mean that it's not too long until your gorgeous bubba number 3 comes along :)

I hope you feel better soon x just try and eat what you can to keep your strength up. xx
 
31+3 -- 21/10/2013 -- MONDAY

Yay had a few hours sleep in a row last night. Baby must have been tired after being REALLY active for a couple of days and nights:rolleyes:. I am still knackered today though lol. I am getting to a place now were I just can't wait for baby to get here...only 8 weeks 4 days left!! I'm still hoping and praying baby doesn't come early though!!

Had a good day yesterday. I ordered my new mattress for the cot in Toyz R Us, it will be in store in a few weeks hopefully. I also got a new born hat and mitten set for bringing baby home. Went to boots and got lots of little things/travel bottles for my wash bag....Aussie shampoo and conditioner, nivea body creme, Nivea body wash, little nivea deodarant, little nivea lip balm, little toothpaste, hair-bobbles, face cream, 2 dark faceclothes and a little soap. I've put them all in my case.....so I have officially started packing. EEEkkkk. I've a load in the washing machine now with my nighties and my dressing gown, they'll go in later.

I am packing 2 paper shopping bags with baby clothes into the baby bag, one with my small baby stuff from my other 2 kids (under 7lb, and premie baby clothes) and one with newborn stuff, hubby then can take in whichever one I need after baby is born. I was looking at the stuff my daughter wore in Crumlin Childrens hospital when she was just under 5lb and it is so so small, brought a tear to my eye, can't believe she was ever that small.

I need to sort out space beside my bed too for the cot. Think that will be it for today because I'm finding it very tiring doing anything. The breathlessness and dizziness is not helping.

Hope everyone is having fun x

I've bought the mini Aussie stuff too. I love it. I never thought of face cloths but I've a couple of black ones at home that have never been used so I'll pack those too.
Make sure you have a rest today too. You can always do the cot another day if needs be. Nothing worse than dizziness :( x
 
31+4 -- 22/10/2013 -- TUESDAY

Hiya all!!

I'm having a grand day today. I got up, got DD ready for school, my son dressed and ready for his day and myself showered. Headed out them to do the food shop, managed to get that done without any problem as there was nothing moldy or funny looking to make me sick lol.
Me and DS took a little stroll along the waters edge then to look at the boats, there was a massive navy ship in which DS really enjoyed.
Home then and quick tidy up of the jobs I should have done before leaving the house (naughty me forgot to make the beds:eek:). Popped out to get daughter from school then at 2p.m and home to make them a snack and pop on the dinner. Did one load of laundry and then fed everyone their dinner, did the dishes and sat down!! Thats it.

Baby is feeling quite heavy now, pulling on my back alot so I've dug out my exercise ball and hubby is gonna blow it up tonight for me when he gets home from footy training (he has the motor blowy up thing in his van). I'll try to sit on that most of the time once he gets that done. Mind you I might have to fight the kids for it!:D

My belly is massive now, I'd take a picture but the app on my phone is crap with the bad coverage here at home and I tend to find it easier to upload pictures from it. I'll keep taking them and post them some day:rolleyes:. My hands and legs are getting a bit puffy now too but nothing to worry about as it was gradual and not sudden.

Midwife appointment in the morning, so getting my whooping cough jag and will get to hear babies heartbeat. Looking forward to it. I'm wondering if babies head is engaged as it feels so low, I'm sure I'll find out tomorrow.
