August Chit Chat for Ladies Due in Sept/Oct/Nov

[Hobbermittens]

I am feeling overwhelmed. My house is a ridiculous mess, and I can't barely clean it because I can't bend over or anything. I feel like I am getting more and more behind every day. I can't even maintain a level of any kind of clean because the kids (well, mainly DD2) just undoes everything I do. It is so frustrating!

I hear you on the frustration with a messy house, hobber! I spent an entire day cleaning our entire main floor top to bottom in a nesting fury 3 days ago, and now you'd never know I did anything now - the place is a total wreck again. I get most frustrated by the toys all over the floor and under the furniture - I don't think anyone in the house, including dh, understand how hard it is for me to bend over to pick up little toys at almost 36 weeks pregnant.

I know! My kids and DH will do a floor pick up for me before I sweep or vacuum, but I always have to ask first (and usually nag) before it gets done. My kids leave everything all over the floor: right now my living room and hallway are littered with
dirty laundry, toys, shoes, and books. I am on the verge of just throwing everything away!

My boys were 6lb 13 and 6lb 14 at 38 weeks when I had them, but I was told DS2 was going to be much bigger than he was based on the scan I had done to check his size. I was told the scan was not that accurate at measuring how big they are going to be? Did they say that there is a big margin either side of their guess TTC5 (ie he could be smaller than that or bigger?) Or has technology changed now? DS2 will be 5 in Dec so it is going back a bit.

He has measured ahead at every scan since 12 weeks x

They won't stop labour now, he was using his lungs nicely too

[Hobbermittens]

Have any of you had the stomach flu late in pregnancy? How awful was it? My DD1 just went to a birthday party where a kid threw up, so I am just prepping myself for the worst case scenario in case she brings the germs home.... I had the stomach flu in my first trimester once, but I can only assume it is more horrible when you can barely run to the bathroom!

[TTC5]

Hope your DD is ok! Maybe she over ate??

[Hobbermittens]

TTC5, my DD didn't throw up, another kid at the party did--I am just afraid if it is catching, that she will bring it home to all of us. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Yikes, I hope your family stays healthy! I have had a head cold for about two weeks now (still getting rid of the phlegm part) and I gotta say that all of the coughing and sneezing is nooooo fun. I've been wearing a panty liner every day since there's just no way to control the bladder right now, haha.

36 weeks today, ladies! I think this warrants a true belly shot, stretch marks and all
