Lauras Diary of Incubating

35+6 -- 21/11/2013 -- THURSDAY

Another day gone lol. I was feeling a little more energetic this morning, and didn't fancy sitting around the house so heading off to the city to have a wee walk around with my wee man. We wondered around and went to starbucks for a wee break. I got a decaf coffee and my wee man had a babychino (he thought he was having a coffee and was all proud lol), had a nice slice of ginger bread between us too yummy.

Got home just in time to collect DD from school and since I got home I have been knackered and had lots of BH and pressure. So made dinner, did the dishes and sat down till hubby got home. When I seen him I had an overwhelming urge to cry for some reason but held it together. We played with the kids for a while then before he put them to bed. I'm just sat now having a look through minis.

Food today wasn't great, don't seem to be hungry at all and the thought of most foods is making me feel sick. But then again I feel overly tired and lethargic so must get something soon. Don't know what I can stomach though....

BREAKFAST
Chrunchie nut cornflakes and milk

LUNCH
Coffee and half slice ginger bread

DINNER
1 potato

My god looks even worse now that I've written it down:eek:. What'll I have though x
 
36+2 - 24/11/2013 - SUNDAY

zzzzzzzzzzzzz:4635:I am so tired, hurry up hubby and get back from footy!!!!!!!!

Well yesterday was a grand day. We went into the city, wondered about and met Minnie and Mickey mouse, a walking Christmas tree and Santa. The kids loved that and had a great time hugging them all lol. We went to a cafe and had coffee and cake (I had a tuna and mozzerella melt panini instead of cake) as well. Basically just took it easy. Got home at 3ish and went to bed for a nap after I made the Uncle in Law his dinner. When I got up after an hour I finish tidying and we got a chinese take away. Was back in bed at 11ish.

Today I 'dettoled' my kitchen and lite the fire. I made lunch for the kids and have been sitting on the sofa ever since. Need to go back to bed though.

Hope everyone else has had a fun filled weekend. xx

Aw your day sounds fab. I bet the kids loved meeting all the characters. And I'm glad you got chance to actually sit on the sofa and relax for a bit!! Hopefully you managed to get to bed at a decent time too :) xx
 
Sounds lovely hun :) Hope you are well today? xx
 
Thanks girls, it was a great day all round.

Still knackered though and now my hips are sore. I'm thinking they are probably just sore from all the laying around I did yesterday lol.

Little man was up last night with a bad cough. He settled after I smothered him in Vapo Rub but I couldn't get back to sleep for ages, then I had to pee after finally settling myself lol. So knackered again today. Did go and do my food shop this morning though. God knows what I bought though!

Starting to get more anxious and excited now. Me and hubby were just thinking last night that we would have had our son at this stage! I think the next few weeks are gonna be very very long......
 
36+3 -- 25/11/2013 -- MONDAY

My god I've gone down hill today. I am so exhausted. I have literally no energy at all. I haven't even done the dinner dishes, and I probably won't either! I am waiting on hubby home from work so I can go to bed....thats bad isn't it but he says I need to rest anyway and the only way I do that is to hibernate in my bed.

My bump has dropped today, I am finding it very heavy and my back is aching. I definately have a waddle now. The restless leg thing is driving me mad but I do get relief from it by sitting on my ball, so no more sitting on the sofa I think. I've put my puppy pads on the bed and in the car just incase my waters go. I really hope this isn't gonna be me now for 4 weeks.

Food today wasn't great as the exhaustion is making me feel sick and I've already been physically sick twice.

BREAKFAST
My iron and mulitivit with 300ml water
1 dry pancake

LUNCH
Scrambled egg with 2 bacon
2 slices wholegrain multiseed toast
Decaff coffee
500ml water

DINNER
1/2 a potato
Sm. slice homemade steak and guinness pie
500ml water

Got some granny smith apples so I'll have one later yum yum.
 
Hey hun, how are you feeling today? I hope you aren't feeling as exhausted.

Feeling just about the same. Unfortunately at that stage now were you are never comfy and don't sleep much. Can't wait for the burst of energy before labour just to get extra stuff done lol.

How are you?

Ahhh bless you x I suppose that is to be expected at your stage x You're doing so well though - I'm 6-7 weeks behind you and I'm struggling already lol I'm so tired! Any burst of energy would be good please lol xx
 
Is this burst of energy thing true? If so I'm waiting patiently for mine! I can understand how knackered you must be but you must even more so with your littlies already to look after! I just keep telling myself - 4 weeks and 2 days max...
 
Yeah I got the burst of energy with my 2 the day before I went into labour. First time I'd been and got my hair done for a wedding and I was carrying on with my sisters at my moms and she said 'you'll have that baby tomorrow, your too lively', she was right. With my son I remember getting up in the morning cleaning the whole house, then going to do a shop and out with hubby and DD for a walk, didn't cope on at the time that was quite alot for one day lol. I'm really hoping I get it again with this one. Can't see it though, feeling very uncomfortable with loads of pressure and feel like my bladder is bursting the whole time..then go to the loo and dribble!!!
 
OMG baby is a bad skitter. In today for my antinatal appointment. When the doc was trying to hear the heartbeat with the doppler the baby was having none of it. It was kicking the wee sensor, kicking the doctor and moving over and back. The doc was laughing away and kept say 'well its definately alive but I can't let you go home without a resting heartrate'. I had to sit in the waiting room and she had to keep checking if baby had gone to sleep yet. I was there for an HOUR!!!!! Haha. But baby settled and just at the end of getting a good heartrate it gave her an almighty kick just for good measure lol. Doctor was raging though that I haven't had a scan in ages and she rang the hospital and gave them a bollicking about my history and not taking care of me....I didn't even know I needed another scan :eek:. Anyway I've to go in on Tuesday for a scan then.

Oh God.. Sods law isn't it?! Lets hope not!!! lol
I'm not due any more scans now but seen as I'm taking part in that genesis study thing I'll get one at 39ish weeks... So really looking forward to that... My last little glimpse of my little lady...
 
MrsLmc said:
Are you sure you don't get one around 37 weeks Frances. You seem to have very little scans?

Yup... At my 22 week scan they told me that was the last unless there were any complications.. We only get 2 scheduled scans throughout the pregnancy and the first isn't even guaranteed.. It just depends who you get on the day and how good a mood they're in..

Its so strange in one country that things are so different. Maybe its to get people to pay for more private scans to generate abit more cash....I dunno.

Anyway good enough day today, not too many cramps or pains but still feeling heavy and exhausted. My sister is home for a while with her kids so at least that'll be a distraction for a while
