Other Purchases made this week: Brought bits for my
hospital bag from Boots and then we did a trip to mothercare to get some
missing bits I got a Duck bath thermometer, a white & a blue crib blackest
and car seat rain cover. Also finally got hold a walloboo footmuff in
dark blue for the car seat to keep little one warm in the winter. I was also
naughty and brought sore more clothes for him in Adsa

Sleep: Mixed with back playing it means I’m having
problems during the night
Best moment this week : My baby shower on Saturday –
see other blog post about it and Friday me and Mum sorted all Baby Hano’s
clothes in his nursery, was lovely doing this with my mum and was quite glad
she loved everything. We also packed his hospital bag and started to pack mine.
You can just see them in the bottom of the wardrobe
Worse Moment this week: The back and pelvic pain I’m
in, been off work since Tuesday, had 2 physio appointments, they have helped I
just need to remember to wear my maternity belt more
Pregnancy Classes attended this week: booked a
private physio appointment as I couldn’t cope with the pain.
Movement : Lots, pretty much moves 3-4 times a day
some are quite uncomfortable but suppose that will happen as he gets les &
less room in there.
Food Cravings : Cheesecake
Anything making you queasy or sick? Just over eating
though am still getting acid reflux
Labour signs: I had a bit of a scare Wednesday night,
decided to have a bath to help easy my back but while in the bath I started
getting bad sharp period like pains so much so it made me cry, hubby was out so
called him 1st, agreed I would call the maternity unit. The lady who
answered the phone was lovely very re-assuring, asked me lots of questions, she
told me that as I wasn’t bleeding and baby was moving she wasn’t worried and
probably down to my PGP
thankfully by the next morning the sharp pains had stopped
Symptoms: belly getting bigger, back & pelvis
pain, getting up for a wee couple times a night and sleeps getting more of a problem.
I’m also getting a bit restless not sure if that because I have spent most of
the week at home?
Belly button in or out? In just
Wedding ring on or off? on
Mood over week? Mixed had a melt down on Saturday
think it was nerves about the afternoon and lack of sleep, the pain in my back
and hip has also brought me down
Looking forward to: being in less pain
Miss anything? Being at home has meant I could look
at our finances and also call the bank about our mortgage. I was advised by
friend to apply for a mortgage holiday, this means you apply to stop paying
your mortgage for so many months. Under Nationwide rules we can apply 2 months
before we want to take it, for me that would be Sept when I drop down to SMP so
we can apply in July, and probably ask for 5 months. I was warned that you
would still accrue the interest and this would be added when we start paying
again, so the payments would increase. Worth asking I think though.
