Lol I meant all day and my right rib(s). Stoopid phone/baby brain

Hope everyone is having a cramp free night! I'm not having a painful legs free night unfortunately but I'm used to that by now. Also my cat just stood on my head, which of course helps massively

I'm laughing at your car Missy

I get leg cramps through the night sometimes and I'm always changing from left to right, don't sleep very well!

Glad it's not just me feeling down then, I can be so happy one day then a misery guts the next. Feel bad for my DH sometimes lol
Still adjusting to moving country and no longer working which doesn't help

I feel bad for my husband tbh, sometimes he just looks so bemused when I burst into tears without warning for apparently no reason. Like the other week when he used the last of the margarine and I flipped out at him. And last night when I had a complete meltdown about missing our trip away and some other things, even though I know we totally did the right thing by cancelling it and I don't regret cancelling it at all.

I think pregnancy has actually broken my brain! xxx

I meant cat lol

Aww sure they understand or at least go to work and check with other guys that it's normal lol xx

Oh men talk!!! J came home the other night n I was sweeping. (He was meant to ask him parents over for dinner so I was getting started on the cleaning!!) He said "oh the men at work told me about this" I was like "told u about what?" He said "this bathe night time cleaning. They keep asking if its started yet" ha ha
I was like "ha ha. I'm not nesting. I'm getting ready for yer ma coming over ha ha"
But he'd forgotten to ask her so I got away with it

When the nesting starts it's pretty uncontrollable I have found! Although I like a clean house I'm not massively house proud and a few things out of their place has never bothered me. Now? It's a different story! I'm getting obsessed with the idea of decorating and sorting and storage solutions and it's driving me mental lol xxx

We had our house decorated after we found out as neither of us would be good at that!
Then hubby is the main cleaner in out house... So when my nesting set in there wasn't much for me to do! So I started clearing out the spare rooms! I threw away loads ( hubby doesn't know about it all yet) and my rule was if we haven't used/needed it within the last year it's going in the bin!! Ha ha xx

We did that about a month ago. Went through each room and sorted through everything. Like you, if we hadn't used it in the last year it went to charity or the bin. It was ridiculous how much we had.

Well I got cramp in my right leg about 7ish so much later than usual and thankfully I woke up just before it started so could straighten my leg out. It wasn't half as bad as previous nights. Nasty though.

Lol missy at your cat. Just what you need eh! Lol

I have a two month rule. I have a good clear out every two months and if we haven't needed something since the last one it goes!! So far it hasn't backfired....lol. It just means I don't have a lot of 'stuff'. I hate ornaments and trinkets. My nesting has been decorating and buying new stuff because there's not much for me to clean with it all being done anyway. Xx

 

[Dubchick81]

Ooh 2 months is very strict Sarah.. Not that I'm surprised lol
I've a 12 month rule...Bit of a difference.. LOL

Certain things I don't throw. But I'm really not a sentimental person. I've kept my sash and badge from yesterday which is about as sentimental as I get. But I'll probably change a bit once baby is here

 

[Dubchick81]

Girls.. Freaking out a tad. Trying not to. I need tips on how to get bubs moving. Tried ice cold drink. Choccie bar. Lying on my side
Baby is in a position where my tummy doesn't feel pregnant. Arrrrgghhhh....

 

[missy1978]

I'm a terrible horder. Then every couple of years I go mental and throw everything out! We have tonnes of ornaments, toys and just general stuff which I both love and hate - love the stuff, it's the dusting that gets to me.

Mind you I never dust the Transformers. That is Colin's job and no one else's

I am getting stricter though! We are having a massive clear out currently and I have a huge bag of papers for shredding to show for it, plus a pile of stuff for eBay. Just waiting for the next free listings day

That's a pretty good thing to do. We have little storage - no loft - so we have to be careful otherwise the house just looks cramped and actually it's not that small.

Don't panic Hun. My baby doesn't move all the time. Chances are baby is moving but your tummy is taking the impact. Just try rest and baby may come surprise you xxx

How long since you had the choccie bar? I find it takes him about 15 mins to get moving after that if I'm struggling to get him shifted. Caffeine (not too much, like a normal cup of tea)? The other tip I was given was to get on all fours and wave your bum in the air. Obviously making sure no one can see you! I never had to try this but apparently gravity will get baby shifting xxx

You've just reminded me that I should start the heap of shredding. Last weekend I went through all bnk statements etc. I decided there was no point me keeping 10 years worth!!!

I've put some stuff onto eBay. Make a judgement whether it's decent and therefore eBay or charity worthy. Charity shop has had sacks from us
