Pregnancy and Slimming World

Just in half a hour ago from new house, brother came out to start laying carpet grippers etc for carpets coming tomorrow.

Ended up having a Chinese, so had a kids beef curry fried rice, but could only manage half of that lol!

Weight this morning was 16st 7lbs, meaning I've put on exactly 2 stone now at 37 weeks.
 
well done lexi, great weight gain. xx i gained 2.5lb this week meaning im exactly +3st. bit harsh but im eating well now so im doing all i can now.

oo how exciting about the new house!

iv just finished off the nursery 100%, and im packing me hosp bag tomo. scary stuff!
 
Argh, hayfever is massive at new house. Managed living in city without this year thus far, new house is surrounded by fields though, and it's murder! Need to try and get something from docs tomorrow.

still all bogey and itchy eyes :(
 
No docs available today - will try Monday.

Also today is shopping day where I go out and buy all baby bits like Moses basket etc so am fully prepared for baby arriving. Going to be hellish, will have both grannies in tow. What possessed me?

Oh lordy. Wish me luck
 
Good luck Lexie... I guess it will be a success if you return with both grannies still in tow and all your hair still!
 
Good luck lexie, il be thinking of you! lol


i finished off my shopping yesterday, all i need is my pram to arrive and my change bag ordered! scary! exactly 7 weeks to go today!
 
Been to midwife today and I have not got diabetes:woohoo:and measurements were normal. Baby is in the correct way around with the head down bump up, whoop - hope he stays like that :)
 
Wow bunny that's fab news!!
I've got my 28 week appointment on Wednesday, will my MW check the position of the baby then?
 
Yep she will from now on and also measure your belly, quite frightening now as MW mentioned broken waters and we can back our hospital bag anytime now. It is all getting too real now, eek!

I also had to go for some blood tests as well.
 
I knew she'd measure me and I'd have blood tests, wasn't sure about checking position, that's exciting. I've got a feeling mine isn't head down yet though - I still feel most of my movement low down... We'll see though.
Oooh scary I'm definitely getting my bag packed this month... I need to get the bag first though!!
 
I will be backing my bag this month, along with the list of stuff I need. It has been so frustrating though as could not buy much intil after my honeymoon until after the 16th when i return :)
 
yay for no diabetes and normal measurements bunny. I did lol a little though as I think I would die of shock if any of mine were ever head down they were all breech, except Logan who according to their scans the day before he was born was head first (we don't agree lol), but the ambulance driver who delivered him said he was in a ball and it was hard to know which end had come out first lol. I don't remember eveer being measured but maybe that's because all the care is done by the hospital and they do scans every single time so know what's going on? Hope you have managed to survive the day with both the grannies Lexi, mind like a sieve honestly can't remember what else I have just read think I can blame it on being ill and having a sprained ankle lol. Going to re-read thread and I will be back, hugs Crystal xx
 
I survived. Day. From. Hell. But not because of the grannies.

Day starts off with going to pay credit card bill (use it for shopping so I get clubcard points and clear it every month, apart from this month as it took the brunt of the carpets so is almost maxed) only to have payment refused. Phone bank, wondering why as hubs JUST got paid. 'Oh you have NO money', what like none? Yes balance of £0.

Phone solicitors who instead of transferring through the remaining balance after we'd paid mortgage (£3k) kept it 'pending instruction'. What the f**k? Didn't think to mention it at any point over the past 4 days, by the way we've still got your £3k?

Get to town having been assured money has been transferred by solicitor. Get to cash-point to check balance. £200 over drawn (no over draft) and £90 in charges. Phone back in near tears, who say they understand can see what's happened, not to panic, can I get £200 in the bank by 2pm and they'll cancel the charges. At this point its 13:15. Have to borrow £200 from Mother in Law and RUN down main street in Glasgow, bump in one hand and money in other. Get money in bank.

However, this leaves me NO money at all for tea, coffee, lunch etc. MIL has to pay for this which leaves me feeling like a total scab.

Get to Mothercare where it's my mums turn to buy baby bits. But all the momey she's been saving up? Withdrawn from the bank. Not in her bag. Or Purse. Or anywhere. She's lost it. She starts getting so stressed she starts vomiting and crying. Try to tell her to relax.

Have to buy bare minimum bits and put it on my credit card, as can't withdraw any money to even give to mum so she can token gesture baby stuff.

So she's in tears, I'm stressing out about direct debits and bank charges, Mother In Law is physically falling to bits and having to stop walking every few 100 yards.

Get to car park to discover cannot pay parking ticket with change in purse. Am £2 short. Burst out crying at the ticket machine like a pure loonball. Walk to car, find £2, walk back. By which point it's tipped over into the next hour, and means I still need another £1. Have to put £1 on my credit card which now has 80p left on it.

And my hayfever is playing up so much I sneezed so hard on way home driving (can't let go of steering wheel to hanky catch know what I mean) I slebbered all inside my windscreen.
 
Oh sweetie huge (((((HUGS))))) hopefully your mum just left the money at home and I am sure even your mother in law must have understood that not having the change for lunch was beyond your control. So sorry your day turned out so crappy. Hugs Crystal xx
 
In the grand scheme of things its nothing. Just a sucky day. Will get over it :)

Thanks Crystal
 
Has to be said lexi, that is a **** day and a half. Quite enough to have me pushed over the edge long before i'd even made it to MC!!! well done for getting home in one peice. I suggest you eat somthing yummy and get a bath, you deserve it!! x
 
Oh Lexie what a horrible day. Hope your mum finds her money.
Everything always looks better in the morning xx
 
Just ate a huge portion of home made cauliflower cheese and some apple crumble.

Deep breaths lol
