Welcome to November ladies.

Hey hon. How went your day? Did you get your vac back? My floor looks the same as yours did but only because I cannot find it in me to do the vacuuming at the moment. Hubby has tomorrow off so I might get him to do that for me..and wash the floors too..lol.
I went shopping with a friend today, then off to the school fundraising fair, then a walk home and another one back to pick up the kids at 3.
I am so tired and so sore. I am sore low down in the pelvis too but hope that a shower and good night's rest cures that. I have the middy coming in the morning for my 34wk check so I will get her to make sure all is well. Hubby even said tonight that I have never been this big before. I feel so big and tight and the braxton hicks are beyond what I have had b4, yet my hands and feet are not swollen and I haven't gained weight anywhere other than the belly.
Hope I can hold out a few weeks longer if the baby wants to come early.
I had best off into a warm shower and then bed.
Hugs,
Amy

hi Amy,
Hope your resting by now after a lovely hot shower!

They do say the more you have the worse the bh's so might just be that.

Yes i went and grabbed my vac back and should see my house!!!!!!!!! I started vaccing and went nuts, the lounge and dining room are all changed around and all floors mopped!
Matt was not impressed to "helping" me move furniture lol. but hes used to it, I do that about every 6 months, it gets rid of my itchy feet that i got from my dad, always moved house and I the same until this house here, 7 years here now, a record for me but matt needed a stable home so here I am...still.!
anyhow I feel great when the house is so clean, and the gardens. all worth it.

am pooped now though lol
have already lined up the back massage

hope you have a great sleep!

Hi Girls.....wow you both make me seem lazy....I vacuumed last night and didnt get around to mopping the floors...and its so muggy now I cant do them (tomorrow is another day!). And I have a pile of ironing to do. After 40 it has all been down hill for me and of course 30 likos heavier. Well thats my whinge for the day....Talk soon Shaz xhttp://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/images/smilies/smiliedance.gif

Afternoon ladies!.

Well Im having a lazy day today though..
All ive done is general clean and planted 3 plants.oh and moved the bird cage around a bit lol.
Im trying to keep busy to keep my mind of the time till I can test to see if we conceived. Makes the days go quicker if im active.

Whats the plans for the weekend?

We have a air show in the cbd near the river over the weekend and as Katie loves looking at planes we are off to visit that..other than that I plan to get DP and DS2 in the garden to help with whats left to tidy up and im done! It will look even better than before the pup attacked it

weather is just right here at the moment.
Hope that humidity clears soon for you Shaz xx

Good afternoon lovely ladies,
I can relate to the laziness after 40 Shaz..everything feels more of an effort. Hopefully I will regain some energy after the baby is born.
I dream of moving everything around Vicki. I too have a dad with gypsy feet. He is about to move yet again! When I moved to this house it was move 41 for me. It was great seeing so much of Australia as I was growing up but being the new kid in 14 different schools and having to leave old friends behind wasn't always fun. I want somewhere to settle but I don't think Canberra will be it in the end. Great for now though.
The midwife came today and I was dating three weeks ahead this time. She said the baby is going to be big but they said Selia would be well over 9lb and she was only 8lb 3oz in the end (and she was my biggest so far). I am still hoping to keep this one just under the 9lb mark and to have it come just a little early. She said if I make it to the 40wk appt I can request to be stirred up, which I would. I so don't want another one to go ten days over..it would mean having a Xmas day baby..agghh.
I managed to vacuum the lounge and clean the bathroom and toilets today but that is as far as I got. I so want to do everything but just have no energy.
We took the car to get two new tyres..I was horrified when the bill came to nearly $500! I am out of the loop when it comes to the price of tyres. Hubby and I went and had a cuppa while we waited to get the car back. Gee it was nice to spend that time alone with no interruptions from children..must do it more often.
No plans for the weekend..just washing (which hubby does anyway) and maybe a bit of mopping. Sounds fascinating huh? lol.
Ok..best away..kids will be getting hungry soon.
Hugs,
Amy
*wonders where Rita got to?*

Hello Tracey,
Yes, I guess it must be difficult ttc with dh away..but then again..a Xmas-made baby does sound cute.
Glad to hear you are still around. Hope the house sells well.
Hugs,
Amy

[Tabby]

Tracey! Good to hear from you.
I agree, a xmas made baby would be wonderful
Hope those last few weeks till hes home come quick for you xx
Due back on DS1's birthday, 20th.


Amy: Oh gawd yes tyres are SO expensive now..Not that long ago could get all 4 for that price.
Hope bub is under the 9lb for you..Never gone over 7lb6 here..boys both 7.06 and Katie 5.03, Though they do say the size really doesnt make that much of a difference?

Getting very edgy here, HATE the two week wait lol. I wanna know now * stamps feet* lol

Rita: Where are you hun!!!? Hope your well, do come let us know xx

Hi Shaz! Hope you had a good w.e?

anyhow school work to get to for ds2, yep hes eagerly waiting! (<-- lol yes that was in MY ideal world not his )

[Ys_Woman]

Vicki: oh yes, the ugly 2ww..ought to be a law against it! Hope it pays off though

Nothing much going on here. I am shortly going to start packing the bag but really need something to birth in and some nighties that I can b/f in.
I had issues b/fding with the other kids due to returning to work, moving house, and having ppl stay with us while I was trying to get the feeding right (three solid months of guests that needed to be fed and entertained!). This time I am locking the doors to interstate visitors for the first few months!
The middy said she and the others would bend over backwards until I get it right this time..even doing home visits for as long as it takes. How wonderful is that? So I have no excuse to comp feed with this one..lol.

Am still tired but was able to get the housework done over the weekend. I am starting to get bored with the pregnancy and excited about actually having the baby, and all that entails.

I didn't have a flutter on the Cup. Did anyone have a win? I did however enjoy having the family home for the day.

Hugs,
Hope everyone is well out there.
Amy
