OOOh for fiddley flower petels

Not having a fabby day today really kids started trying to kill each other as soon as they got up ..keon has moaned no stop..But i shouldn't moan. Something horrid has happened to a fellow dia ladys baby. Its awful and tragic, and now she has to explain it too her little one. Life is horrid sometimes , and i do feel so grateful for my  i children. Going to pick up my moses basket in a second..sorted out some baby bits aww i even found a chalky bear baby grow that i kept from the boys , so i think this will be lukes first outfit . Had a bit of a sort out ..one black sack for a fellow dim08 s youngest baby ..and half a sack for charity. im defintaly nesting but im trying to stop myself..what is the point of pulling out the cupboard to scrub behind it when ill want to do it again closer to the time say in about 17 weeks..(gah scary again!)

not much to say.

Been one of those blissful uneventful days .a.glororious sunshine..both the boys wonderfully behaved ive aboutlovely day doing a bit of crochet, watching waking the dead (keons at nursery) and talking to internet friends. Even managed to change the beds and wash all the bed sheets. Tommorrows meant to be grotty weather wise..i hope not good weather allways improves my mood. Ive looked into aqua natal classes..they start monday..eeek now its at 7.30 and the boys are in bed at 8..so this means dave will drop me off and ill have to get a bus and walk home which isnt too far. Time for me and bump will be lovely x Just started to get a bit belchy and heartburny in the last 2 days..hope its just a glitch lol..Also so far no spd..yay..had it at 17 weeks with ds2 ..so im doing well.

Yawn...

I think in fact i know ive now got to the stage where walking is getting tiring..went out from 10.30-5 yesterday came back and had to go to bed at 9.15..slept right round to 7.30 but still feel shattered..need to catch up on housework as dh and i are both lax at the weekend just do the basics so we can do family things. My skin seems to be improving greatly i noticed my back hasnt got anymore spots and they are now healing ditto my face..i keep getting about 3-4 spots and it makes me feel unattractive..so yay. Depression has definatly all gone ..yay for that! Will be pleased to tell the midwife that i definatly do not need additional help :D. Told dh id like a water birth he was really interested and thought of the best place to set up the pool..i think he just wants to play lol. So have been looking on ebay but i keep getting outbid..ooh well still 20 weeks to look.  Weighed myself this am i think im going to do this every monday..10 stone 2lb thats 10lbs on..gulp..ive checked its just under the higher level line..thats cool its within a normal range. With ben i put on 2 stone but i weighed 10stone 4lb before i feel , with keon i put on 3 stone but was 8stone 9 ..so if i only put on another stone ill be thrilled with that.  Umm thats it need to go do housework then dh and me and the boys are off to capstone park to walk around the lake and play on the slides..i love it there its so quite and not well known about..they do a daddys and boys overnight survival camp for over 5s so im hoping they have a space for benjy and daddy in june x

lovely day out

So been out to an enchanted forest was totally wonderful, we then have our cheap as chips, bargin bucket...etc sun £9.50 holiday to sunny norfolk in about umm 2 weeks? Im actually looking forward to it, going with my mum as well as she cant really afford to pay to go on holiday alone ..and why whould you anyway?  So it works out cheeper for us all to go together plus dh and her get on so well and she gets to spend a whole week with her daughter and grand sons..win win! Its in a complex with a big entertain ment centre and lots of activitys 2 swimming pools and its near the beach, it looks a lot like a haven to me, the last place we satyed at was winchelsea although i was on my own in my own caravan with the boys as dave couldnt get the time off..shame as i whould have bunked up with mum and my brother in hers..i loved winchelsea , very secluded as it was off season ..eterntainment every, night a great beach that was very windy given that it was october there was a great rock pool with star fish the size of my hand ive never seen them that big alive before ..quite moving really! That was quite a basic holiday so im hoping this ones even better..dont think ill be seeing much of mum , dave or ben though as theres a fishing lake there..plus well norfolk is huge on fishing lakes so i see them doing a few trips out. Lukes been very active today definatly getting a lot stronger kicks and movements. The boys came in at 7.20 or 8.20 corrected full of beans and very happy..ive turned into an eating machine today and am craving everything people mention.oops

Grateful for having the lurgy.

Went to bed at about 10 last night with a steaming headache..managed to fall asleep in seconds , dh got in last night about 11ish from a good bye friends work do. He fell asleep on the sofa so spent all night down there as he didnt want to disturb me by coming up at 2am when he had woken up. Bless him he is a considerate man..most of the time. The boys came in at 6.15 and i woke up obviously but felt awful sore throat, pounding head and like someone had tried to pull all my teeth out, they wanted to go downstairs straight away to see daddy , which i was more than greatful for so i went back to bed for an hr. I sorted of started to snooze off again when luke decided to wake up..i was grateful for feeling poorly this morning as i managed to get my extra time just me and beany and to make matters even better..i felt him kick me from the outside from the first time ..hopefully wont be long until dave and the boys can feel him too Thank you lurgey you made my month xx

big bear, little bear and baby bear

Woke up this morning with a bad need for porridge..so we all had it Ben loves porridge but doesn't have much patience with allowing it too cool..so i distracted him this morning  (6.30) with a spot of digging in the garden (although i was pegging clothes out on the line..digging in the dirt looked much more fun). Also woke up with very sore heavy breasts like a newborn had been sucking on them all night..ive felt like this for a couple fo days now but this morning was the worse...plus they really lookk like cows udders now !.i have a feeling my milk will restart a little soon..i had some leakage at about 23? weeks with keon, and allways had one breast that leaked but its totally dried up in pregnacy and oddly i feel a little sad my leaky boob has gone! Luke seems to like being awake very first thing in the morning which is a little sad because i get maybe 2 mins max feeling him moving around before ben and keon come bounding in..id like a little more time sometimes. Had to practice some meditation last night as before i went to bed i had a suddenly sore lower back that was painful enough to make me want to cry..it worked! So today i have planned..keon at nursery, ben at school and i have my friends 3 year old twins as well as keon from 12 then pick up ben at school and all 4 of them from 3 til 5 ish? Should be fun! so im relishing my time from 9.30 till 11.45 lol. Best get a wiggle on x

bad blogger again

Well thought its time to revive my blog again lol. Im going to do my best to blog almost everyday about my pregnancy..because id love to look back and remember..this is my last pregancy and baby so im really making the most of it..so far heres what i really want to do
Home birth
hypnobirth
lotus birth
water birth?
blessingway ceremony
BREAST FEED..very importnat to me..well they all are really

We have found out that im having a third son , im thrilled, whilst sure i wont lie a girl whould have been lovely but given the fact we have been scared witless that baby currently (or did at the 12 week scan) have a dogey value on his heart..the sex of the baby really really doesnt matter. We have since had 2 scans one was a gender scan where they couldnt tell us much about the heart..and the other was a very quick look to see the babys heartbeat at the consultant appointment yesterday ..both times the heart was observed to be firing on all four cylinders..so obviously fingers crossed at the 20 week scan on the 8th of april all will have cleared and the blood flow will be pumping the correct way. Yesterday was all fired u ready for a row with the consultant..who ive never met before ..or thought i hadnt (it turned out i had with keon) anyway he said " i see your wanting a homebirth" i replyed "yes please!" then he started quoting facts and statistics etc..but then asked me why i wanted a home birth what research had i done etc..i told him..he then replied "i can tell your an intelligent woman, whilst the "Hospital" whould prefer you to have the baby here , the risks of uterine rupture after a previous successful vbac are very minimal and its no less risky to have the baby at home than in the hospital"..so we wound up our session and he winked and said "GOOD FOR YOU"..lol..what a gent! So homebirth is back on..i told dave thats what i am having..i didnt ask..i told him. Told mum last night and she was over the moon..she had been trying to persuade me  to hb as i was a hb baby and she said it was the best and quickest i was only a 2.45 min labour and my 2 brothers where over 48hrs each !..and me being me im having a lotus, hynpo and blessingway ceremony..why?? because id love the experience..and because well..quite frankly i damn well can and too hell with what everyone else thinks.
Been lucky so far just a touch of sciatica..no heartburn , although i have had terribly upset tummy right from the word go..no reason for it i just have to go anything up to 4 times a day , midwife thinks its just the hormone relaxin..causing it, which makes sense as ive not got any spd this time so perhaps its makinf its way out in other ways. Been feeling movements since 10 weeks and more kicks in the last week..unfortunalty i have a tilited womb so its not allways as noticeable as id like. We have decided to call our little boy Luke andrew avery..because well i love the name andrew and david suggested lucas..i cant stand that name but we where watching star wars and i suddenly said luke ..(as in skywalker)..so luke it is..will be funny when hes old enough david can say in a darth vader name.."luke i am your father"..anyway enough for now that was a long post lol..will be shorter next time i promise
