I had a wee cry for myself because I am smelly.
Me too
I freak out if I can't have a shower every morning, this morning was my second day without one so there was nothing for it but to brave the roads and stay in my sisters place.
The simple bliss of hot water and not having greasy hair anymore was so good!
What was not so good is the doors on her shower cubicle aren't that wide so wasn't too sure if I'd fit out through the doors once I got in :eek:
@Hacked, I know how you feel I was seriously agitated when I seen on the news they're giving this weather for the next 10 days :mad:
@Targetwidow, mine's the same, though I had the GTT and they said all was fine and I'm not registering too much protein in it either.
I am looking so forward to having my body back to (nearly!) the way it was before! Too many odd things happening to it of late

Just give them a call,they will understand due to the weather conditions:)
Well, my mom and I discussed it today. I already got the free changng bag out of them, and all my mom could say to my worry of them doing something silly with it was that if that happens...they owe me an upgrade.

Target, if I could sit in that Post Office for you I would.
Fourth day here with no running water and the central heating (which feeds off the mains) is running low and a lot of the radiators aren't working. The pipe leading up to the house is frozen so we have to wait for a thaw.
Going for a swim today so I can have a shower (or 2!) hopefully I have some swim gear that fits!
Capri, you still without water?0 -

Das Kitty -- My heart goes out to you!
Target -- Will be praying your little detour to work gets overlooked. I am so sorry, that must be so dissapointing!
Adrieanne -- Yay!!
Not much to complain about really, the difference in my mood since I've been able to get out a bit is astronomical.
Still stuck up in my parents house due to ice and snow though. Dying to get home!! Someone tell me I;m not crazy. I am nesting so strongly as of last night. My cousin sent me a couple of bags of baby things I haven't been able to go through yet, my pram is still sitting in mother care, went to Ikea and bought the matching changing table to my cot along with bedding and accessories...all froggie themed.
Started nesting like mad last night, and am actually ready to scratch my eyes out. Dying to get home to clean and sterilise and declutter and set up!! I've even gone so far as flat hunting online! My small two room flat isn't going ot cut it for long. 0 -
@Target Widow - you poor thing last thing you need is the added stress of work when you've a scan to go to.
Sod it, it'd be different if you were taking the time off to go dossing you're going for a medically necessary appointment I don't think there's a court in the land that'd dare argue that one with you!
I'm sure your customers will understand too. I know there are loads of businesses going to be closed tomorrow in Kilkenny due to the weather.
@ Das Kitty - yes still without water and heating! we moved over with the inlaws and my jinx of no water has followed us over here, we're filling water canisters from the local river to fill the cistern for the loo. very Ray Mears/Bear Grylls
Hubbie got a lift over in a jeep to check on our house and all is ok so at least we've a bit of peace of mind, I was worried we might so back to leaks/burst pipes but so far so good
I had to do that when I was renting before go to a local swimming pool to get a shower, thankfully my sister works in a hotel so we can pop in there to grab a shower. I think if I dived into the local pool they'd think a whale had beached itself there
Hopefully the pipes will thaw soon and you'll have your rads & water back working
@ Hacked - I know the feeling, I was starting to nest nicely on Wednesday, scrubbed the cot, got the nursery ready but pulled the presses in our room apart to reorganise them.
Only got half way through doing that when hubbie told me we had to leave the house so house is like a tip and I'm itching to tidy it! So frustrating not being able to get near it!
The nursery stuff in Ikea is only gorgeous I love all their themed bedding.
@ Adrienne x - so cute, I love the little gummy grins when they have a few teeth 0 -
DK and Cap..I know how ye feel ..Have had no water for a few days now.And im down in Cork.We dont have central heating (Old old old house ) but we cant even put down a big fire becoz of the water tanks bursting ..I was looking forward to the snow but i take it back now..I just want my water back
Back ache is being a nightmare today and tryin to get comfortable is just not happening to me ...Makes me wonder if i can handle what the next 5 months will bring:( 0 -
Swizzles... I feel your pain! 32 weeks here, and baby is lying in the weirdest positions. Kicking and leaning on my spine and ribs...it's fun. And don't worry, I felt like that too, but it doesn't last forever....it comes and goes. Just remember to take it easy, and if your having a bad back day...don't be a hero!
Cap -- I know, IKEA has some gorgeous stuff in. They don't have much choice in the way of cot bedding though! I got a gorgeous cot and changing table from the same set, and the colour scheme is a base colour of green. They've got some really cute little cot accessories at the moment. Also I didn't notice too many themes going on...but they had frogs everywhere. Works well just in case baby decides to accidently come out with a penis. :rolleyes: You can't tell I'm excited, can you??
Sorry you had to leave half way! that's the worst feeling!
Dying to get home now. All I need to get now are some wicker baskets lined with fabric....preferably white. If anyone knows where thye sell cheap ones, I would be much obliged 0 -
-
Everything seems ot be overpriced eh? They have a load of nice baskets in IKEA, but none suitable for baby clothes, kinda scratchy and they'd snag everything.
Saw some in Dunnes yesterday actually..I think they were meant to be for bathrooms, but they only had certain sizes, so I don't know about the dimensions.
Adrieanne thinks I'm crazy...I think I must be an obsessive nester!!
How is everyone feeling today??0 -

Did you try one of the big sausage shaped Maternity pillows? I can't recommend them enough, I started getting really bad back pains from about 14 weeks on and the only relief I got was when I got one of them.
The bed in the in lawswhere we're staying is really soft and is giving me a sore back, typical I forgot to ask the hubbie to pick up my maternity pillow when he went over to check the house today :rolleyes:
@ Hacked, I had a 4D scan at 24 weeks where we were told we were having a girl, but in the past few weeks (after buying loads of pink stuff!) I'm now freaking about whether it will be a boy.
Obviously I'll be delighted once baby is healthy but I'm worried about giving junior a complex if it is a boy and I have to dress him in pink for the first few weeks/months of his life
The nursery I had only decorated a few months previous in black and white and the furniture is neutral, I'll be leaving it as it so it'll suit whether its a girl or boy.
I was in a home wares shop in Skerries recently (can't think fo the name sorry!), its near 'The Raven' pub & they do loads of wicker baskets really good prices but I don't think you're over that side of the city?
I think Woodies might do them too?0 -

I am due 23rd Feb!
cap, I gave up work two weeks before I had Addison and the sitting around for two weeks drove me absolutely crazy! I had no one to meet up with for coffee as everyone I knew was either in college or working! I sat watching day time telly and napping most of the time! I went to Charlestown one of the days and spent nearly three hours walking around the shops (and it's a crap shopping centre ) I was that bored!!
I didn't go overdue though, gave birth on my EDD so it was all good 0 -

Just as well I didn't guess the date, I thought it was the 26th! :P
Oh you lucky girl!! And this time you'll know exactly when it is too. I just found out last night that my mom never really went over due. I think only once, and that was only by three days. Apparently on the rest of us it was either on her due date or the day after. Hope i take after her in that respect!0 -
@ Adrienne - I am now taking that as advice that shopping will ensure baby will arrive on time, must try convince other half of that one
Does Addison understand that she's getting a little brother/sister soon or is she still a bit young? such a gorgeous name
@ Hacked - sounds like you're much better off staying where you are til after the thaw. You poor thing hurting your hip, you need that like a hole in the head I'm sure. I ventured into town today and was inching along in case I'd fall over. I'm sure I had other shoppers behind me driven mad by going so slow!
Fair play to you getting a job offer when you're pregnant, are you going to take up on the offer to keep you occupied til babs arrives?
No thaw here yet but its raining tonight instead of snowing so even though I know that'll freeze over and make the roads dodgy for a few days, I'm hoping it might be the start of the big thaw.
I'm looking forward to getting back to my own bed!
Although its good practice, at home I have a habit of putting the electric blanket on every night and having the bed toasty warm, but I've recently starting to freak at the notion of my waters breaking while I'm in bed electrocuting hubbie & me :eek: so I'm better off getting used to the cold bed 0 -

I wouldn't take that as advice, believe me, there are other reasons why baby came on her EDD... and I would not recommend it to anyone after the birth I had!!
I don't know if she understands or not... It'd be lovely if she did, she sometimes puts her hands on my tummy and I go "aww the little baby in mammys tummy" and then she starts 'patting' it with both hands. So maybe!! She's started to get really clingy lately too so I'm not sure whether to take that as a sign that she knows something is on the way!
Also, she's starting to pull down my top to try and get to the aul air bags which is hilarious, especially when there is company present! Even though she wasn't breastfed!
I love her name haha! Had it picked since very early on in the pregnancy and never got bored of it. I don't have a girls name picked this time! hacked has been helping me with that one!! Still haven't decided haha!!0 -

Yeah, as much as I want to get rolling, I think it's safer for me to stay put for now!
Really hoping the thaw comes soon. Really feel for you being stuck out of the house. I miss my bed too! Haha, I know it's not funny, but I never would have thought of that! I'm sure waters breaking on an electric blanket wouldnt be the best idea. Get yourself one of those super thick warm winter duvets. I end up using them in the summer too as they arej ust so cuddly!
Thanks! Delighted with the job offer. Don't have a clear role yet. Will be some kind of manager, but as it's a new company will have my finger dipped in most aspects of the company. It's in the fashion industry (something I've not really done before!) so in the future will be designing and making my own clothes and jewelry, possibly doing some personal shopper stuff possibly including make up. The girl running it liked my creative eye and asked me to consider joining, in the future I might be let loose on running a line for pregnant women. For the mean time I'll be doing a good bit of admin work...all those years as a librarian, ya know! It will just be a lot of meetings for the next while.
@Das-- thanks for smack over the head! Never thought to check argos 0 -
-
@ Adrienne - that's so cute her patting your tummy, hopefully she'll take well to her new brother/sister
I actually don't think I'd be able for shopping up to the last few weeks, Thank God for online shopping!
Here's hoping you'll have a much easier birth this time
Sorry to hear about your tummy bug, hopefully it'll only be a 24 hour one
@ Hacked - I'm v jealous of your new job it sounds fantastic! Great having that to look forward to as well as babs. So exciting starting in a new company too
@ Das Kitty, I'm v jealous of you being able to have a shower, not sure if I can brave the local swimming pool but might just have to, my hair is looking a little too 'lived in' for my liking 0 -

Hey Target
Glad everything worked out for you in the end ..Least you know what to do now if you need more time off:p
Weve got water:D:D I never thought id be sooo happy to have a shower I spent about an hour in it ...
Cap and Kitty..Any sign of the pipes thawing??0 -
-
Congrats Target Widow, so glad it all worked out for you with your scan and babs is happy'n'healthy in there
Still haven't made it back home, hubbie is working nights so can't get at the pipes to that them out, he's going over tomorrow morning 6am after work so fingers crossed we'll have heat and water!
Out of desperation I had to go to the hotel where my lil sis works to have a shower, aw the bliss of being able to wash my hair!
In the spirit of this being the moan thread though I do have to give out.
I got chatting to a woman in the hotel when I was waiting for my sis, she asked me to join her and her friends for a few drinks, I politely declined and said better not, baby wouldn't like it.
To which she replies 'ah don't mind that, sure I'm pregnant too' (this after she told me she'd drank 5 bottles of wine today and was on her second southern comfort :eek:)
Sorry I know each to their own and if someone decides to drink during their pregnancy its their own business but I couldn't help being disgusted at how drunk she was while being pregnany, poor baby :mad:

I've felt I've had to justify not drinking to a lot of people actually, this country's attitude stinks. People don't trust you if you're sober, even when pregnant!
I know what you mean, I don't normally drink when I go out (live in the middle of nowhere/can be impossible/expensive to get taxi's so handier just to stick to minerals and drive) and it drives me mad how much people try to push drink on you, like there's something wrong with you if you don't drink :rolleyes:
@Bulmersgal - I'm the same, actually a fortnight before I discovered I was pregnant I had been out for a work night and had about 5 glasses of west coast cooler, the guilt I felt when I did find out I was pregnany was unreal.
I know that probably sounds a bit OTT as a lot of women do drink moderately during pregnancy without problem, but I had a bleed a week later and was so paranoid that I had somehow caused it I haven't been able to touch a drop since.
Its one of the two things I'm really looking forward to after I have babs, getting my own body back and being able to have a nice cold bottle of west coast cooler mmmmmmm
@ Das Kitty & Swizzles - you must be delighted to have your water back! We have our heating and water back but I can't get over to our house til tomorrow night!
My car is over in the house and hubbie is working nights so have to wait for my sis to drive me over tomorrow.
I can not wait, a few parcels of clothes and the cot mattress I ordered online arrived over the past few days so my sis can't wait to come over and help put babies stuff in the nursery. I know sad, we're like a pair of kids with a new doll!:rolleyes:0 -
@Das how much a a relief is that water dance
@Cap least you have it back ..Another worry you could have done without but hopefully all over with now:DYou must be so excited to have the stuff delivered..It must be like Christmas again lol Thats what i cant wait for buying stuff and setting it all up Oh and baby of course..We have already said my brother will put the cot together ..Ive seen the ohs handywork lol:rolleyes:
In the mood of the moan thread my temper and moods have been something else the last few days..I have to sit there biting my tongue incase i say something i know ill regret the min it leaves my mouth ..Oh and still no better with the back pain 0 -
-
Target Widow - I know its terrible to say but sometimes I'm glad when he's on nights. Mainly because he hates the soaps and when he works nights I get to watch all of them I know, I'm such a lovely wife :rolleyes:
Ah no I do miss him but its only every second week so not too bad.
Thats bad form that the nursery didn't explain to you clearly why your little one was put in 'time out' dont blame you for being peeved!
Sounds like you're having a crappy day, here's hoping today will be better 0 -
