Massive Kicks

Massive kicks today

Like the baby is moonwalking in the womb.

Its like waves and waves of ripples.

Its cool, funny, great in fact but also kinda weird.

l - last day

L's last day at work today

She had been on the pat and mick, but turns up at work today to check in with her boss and start her maternity earlier.

Connie and I go on holiday on tuesday for two weeks, and by then L will only have about 2 weeks to go, so if its a bit early the next time I will see her she will have a little bambino.

She is shiting herself.

Stupid Stupid Stupid Man

She asks me what is wrong with me today.

I make the school boy error of sending her the following txt. I suppose at the time I just wasnt in the mood for the usual "nothings wrong" game. Yes there is something fucking wrong and Im going to just spit it out. DOH DOH, should know better DOH.

Insecure
Neglected
Inadequate
Lonely
Tired
Bored
Skint
Sexually frustrated.

She tells me she was very upset at this and spend considerable time crying, telling her mum, our eldest daughter and crying some more. Now, im all the bad bastards under sun.

I should have know better. School boy error number 991

A big Massive fat row

Lets talk about my life for a second.

I work full time, Im trying to be debt free by earning lots of extra pennies on teh computer, I am converting my own loft, I find the time to spend with connie and the girls as often as possible.

If I dont work on the computer then I cant get through the month and we certainly wouldnt be going on holiday this year. Thats just life for me, I take it in my stride and get on with it, Im ever the optimist and positive to the last.

I wish other people shared this lifes too short attidue, but not today.

Pregant hormone strikes back.

I got both barrells this morning, I got the you work too much, your always on the computer, I just want to spend time with you, your so lazy, I hate you, Im moving out, Im getting a council house, I hate you some more, your an arsehole.

Why oh why is nothing good enough, it doesnt matter what you do chaps, you needed worry, your fucked !

Week 29 Update

Mother:
As your baby is growing, so is your body. You may feel as if your internal organs are crowded. They are. The best way to deal with the discomforts of late pregnancy are:
Good Posture
Proper Nutrition
Exercise
Rest (When you can!)
Most discomforts will occur in your back, your legs, and the amount of air you can take into your lungs. Hang in there!

Baby:
Your baby is busy getting ready for the birthday! The baby is beginning to regulate his own temperature and the bone marrow is completely in charge of production of the red blood cells. The baby is even urinating about a half liter of urine into the amniotic fluid everyday!
The movements that you feel will probably begin to change at this point. Once your baby held wild gymnastic parties, now as the space becomes cramped you notice smaller movements, such as elbows and knees. Try monitoring the baby yourself, using fetal kick counts.
Your baby weighs in at about two pounds nine ounces (1.16 kilograms)!


Dad:
Her back is aching and she's probably not feeling as comfortable as she once did. Have you rubbed her back? You might even consider a professional pregnancy massage. It makes a great gift.

Loft Spaces and Babies and Work

I have been working in the loft a lot this week as Im planning to have a loft room up there.

My middle daughter can have her own personal space when teh baby is here with a nice big bedroom as we really need the extra space.

My eldest daughter is moving back in and space is going to be at a premium, so Ive been busy flooring, shifting beams and getting velux windows fitted.

Its not easy being able to hold down a full time job, then come home to a major DIY project, but quite frankly needs must.

Week 28 update

Mother:
You will probably begin to see your practitioner every 2 weeks now. If you haven't begun discussing labor plans with your practitioner, now is the time to start!
If you have taken childbirth classes you have a good idea of the interventions and alternatives associated in childbirth. The most common things that people have questions about are: episiotomy, fetal monitoring, and pain relief in labor.

Your breasts my leak colostrum now, although if they do not leak, this is not an indication that you can't breastfeed. You may also need a Rhogam shot now if you are Rh negative.

Baby:
Your baby's eye lashes are developing, as subcutaneous fat is deposited. If you have a baby boy, his testes will probably begin descending. Your baby is about 13.8 inches long (35 cms) and weighs about 2 pounds 4 ounces (1 kilogram)!
A baby born at this time has a good chance of survival with the help of medical technology.

Dad:
Since her prenatal visits are now every other week, you might trying making another visit with her. This will give you a chance to talk about plans for the birth.
