I think we all have cramps Jennii! Especially at night, babies are definitely getting ready to come out soon
It is so hot today, I tried to sit outside but I just got too uncomfortable because I couldn't lie down properly and I got too hot. I don't really have much summery stuff that fits me either. It must be hard to be pregnant in hot countries it's jammers out by us as we're beside the sea. Seems all of Dublin is out this way today! 0 -
I'm wearing my clothes from my honeymoon on corfu last year.
Some of it still fits- flowy summery dresses, that sort of thing. The only problem is they're starting to get a bit small up top! Ah well- OK for the backyard, not so much for town....
I got assigned a supervisor for my thesis project- but he wants me to go up to Dublin to see him next week. I'll be 38 weeks pregnant then....advice?0 -

Can you ask to Skype him instead? It's a long way to go!0 -

....if he says no though I'll have to consider whether I can actually finish my thesis from home. I mean, baby is due in 3 weeks, if I have to keep going up to Dublin for this, it's not really sustainable.
Yeah, a lot of trips to Dublin with a baby would be a right pain. My husband still does work for his supervisor in New Zealand and writes research papers with him, all done over email so it should really be an option for you. If they can do it with time differences etc then your supervisor should be able to accommodate you!
Just back from a long walk, felt like I was going to pee myself the whole time. Come on baby! Time to come out 0 -

I'm sort of set, I've been in a strange humour all day, I was really hoping the sweep would of worked but obviously he is just too comfy in there!
I wish I could just get on with it, it's the hanging around that's killing me but at least it won't be long now!
I'm so looking forward to going on a diet I feel like an elephant.....maybe I should of put this post in the moan thread ha!
I was bouncing on ball today and I did have pains after so maybe it does work?0 -

Thanks for the advice! I'm trying not to get too impatient because I know you're right and I should enjoy all the time I have to read and sleep!
We're almost there anyway ladies!0 -

LMFAO Omg so funny. I found sitting in witch hazel helps the auld hemorrhoids.
LOL - I was at the GP today and mentioned that I have a (fairly big) hemorrhoid and could I have some of the stuff I've had before on prescription, she got a bit flustered and checked my file and gave me the ointment I had last time, she told me the pharmacies in Cork are short on hemorrhoid cream (ointment no bother)! Whats going on in Cork city to say there is a shortage of hemorrhoid cream??!!
Taking daisy on her first outting today, phn said to get out n about. So im rather liking that i look good today, bit of foundation does wonders. That and i got some sleep last night. Im hoping a routine is establishing and im starting to understand this tiny person 0 -

Great that the new babies are being welcomed into the world with such beautiful weather!
Was in hospital for my weekly appointment and baby's head is engaged, yay! Only 4/5, but better than nothing. Can't believe it's only 4/5ths, the pain down there was having me think it was fully engaged!
Dr discouraged me from travelling to Dublin next week, so I emailed my supervisor and asked if I could meet him via skype, I could share my desktop and show him what I have so far etc. Fingers crossed!!!
Was actually a bit too hot for me to sit outside...loving the weather we're having so far and it looks as if it's set to continue through the weekend, great news for husband who hates having to go back to work while I get to sit outside in the sunshine!0 -

It's a really weird thought that in a few weeks there'll be a baby with us constantly! I can't really process it somehow. Baby's in there....not out here...but soon it will be!
4/5 isn't all that engaged actually- the image below shows what it's like! I don't know how long it usually takes for the head to be fully engaged.

So is 0/5 the most engaged then and 5/5 the least engaged? Confusing
I had a weird moment yesterday too, realising that there would be a baby here soon and that there will be this person in my life who I don't know at all yet. I was in Boots buying suncream for myself and saw a little tube of 50+ baby sun cream that was half price. I thought, oh I'll get that for when baby is here, just in case and then had a weird moment when I realised I don't know how dark the baby will be - I have absolutely no idea what he looks like but he'll be here soon for me to see. It was a bit surreal 0 -

You'll have an extra surprise there! Don't darker babies need suncream too though? I would have assumed that they could still burn as their skin is so new and fragile?
I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of combination of myself and husband the baby will be. We have quite different faces so it should be easy to see who he's gotten what from!
For those who have already had their babies, were you surprised at how it looked? Does it look more like you or your husband? Can you pick out bits of him or you in the baby?
I still have to get nursing bras and maternity pads...and one more nightgown, then I think I have everything?0 -

Yeah, he would need suncream too, just not as much as a little fair skinned baby - my husband does wear it even though he doesn't burn. He doesn't like his skin to go any darker - he sits in the shade on holidays too!
I'm very much looking forward to seeing who the baby takes after 0 -
