Ok lil one i'm ready now.

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

I never got to this stage with DD, the I WANT IT OUT stage.... but i am starting to get there this time round.

My back has been KILLING on and off for DAYS now and i'm starting to feel tired.

I want to keep doing things as normally as i can as i feel worse when i stop, i don't WANT to stop chasing DD around or playing on the floor with her but am starting to find it hard to get off the floor

DP has had a week off over x-mas and goes back to work tomorrow, my mum and one brother are here until after bubs is born and then they go to Adelaide.. i can guarantee once DP is back at work she will decided to make an entrance.. i don't want him to miss another one!

COME ON MISS ZARA MUMMY WANTS TO MEET YOU and wants to stop looking like a beached whale while chasing your sister!

Hope everyone else is feeling as WELL as can be... hehe

[mrsmac]

I hope she hurries up for you!!

[Glamourcide]

Well, you're getting close now, so I believe it is appropriate to start sending you labour viiiibes Hope it all happens for you soon hun

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Thanks ladies.

DP's back at work tomorrow.. how funny if i go in tonight and he can't go... that will teach his boss to pay us late etc over x-mas!

Well i can HOPE can't I !

i'm the same... i'm not so much in pain or struggling (that was a few weeks ago, i feel like i've improved since then) - i just feel mentally and physically ready for this baby... does that make any sense at all? i just feel ready... i suppose the CONSTANT braxton hicks aren't helping me, cos i am in a constant state of 'is this it, or isn't it?' which is driving me nuts with anticipation and total pre-occupation...

Def makes sense... GL with it all... maybe we can go at the same time.. ease the pain... lol

[Linzy]

Oh! So close! Sending you labour vibes too!!

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

DP's back at work today so i that this little one decides to wait until night to come so DP can be here.

He's only working 10min from the hosp so has said if anything happens today mum is to drive me in with DD and stay with me til he gets there and then mum can bring DD back home.

Hips were KILLING last night and couldn't get comfy so am hoping hoping hoping something happens soon.. i want to meet our little princess, i want DD to see her sister.
She will have NO IDEA what the hell is going on

[harleysgirl]

Im with you on this one, the WHOLE preg has been agony with my back and now my pelvis has seperated and i feel like im going to tear into 2 peices! im in so much pain! i cant do anything, hubby has been doing everything but is now back at work, the kids are BORED as i cant play with them too much or take them anywhere.

My body feels very ready and im def ready but baby doesnt seem to be lol

[Cassius2]

Sending you all the beautiful and peaceful labour vibes surrounded by the warmth and comfort of your DH xx.

Love the name for your new princess by the way!

[petalpetal]

I'm exactly the same. We're due on 8 Jan...this friday, four days and counting. I don't think baby is ready to come out yet, but I'm more than ready for it to arrive. Baby is not even engaged yet *sigh*. In my family, we have been joking, saying that if the baby takes after me, then it will be on time, have the whole labour ward organised, have the paperwork done in duplicate and would have figured out how to improve labour generally. And if the baby takes after my DH, then it will run notoriously late, demand that all tv's ONLY show fox sports news and have the labour ward eating chocolate mud cake, if they wanted it or not. I think baby will be more like DH *sigh*

So in the meantime, sore hips/pelvis, especially at night time, reflux and the last two nights, overwhelming nausea (??) this is new, haven't had this since the morning sickness went at around 6 months. I NEVER get pimples or spots, but my face is like a teenage boys, and splotchy/blotchy too, like I've been running through itchy native vegetation. I'm sure baby will be delivered through my right armpit at the moment, the way he/she keeps pushes up through my ribcage, ow, so bruised, plus now I have foot/feet poking out the other side. Oh, and (TMI warning) that horrible thrush is back with a vengeance. Please, please little one, for Mummy's sanity, please think about coming out soon.

And I'm not even nesting yet! I don't think I've got that gene, too organised to nest.
Oh well, off to see the OB this morning, see what he says.

Good Luck everyone with your ailments, they say that good things come to those who wait!

[rufalina]

Sweetie, I know you wont want to hear this but RELAX. I know how hard those last few weeks are, but try to let go of everything and I am sure Zara will come along. Hang in there. She will be here soon. Just try to chill out about when, and just trust that it will happen.

[Butterfly Child]

My fingers and everything are crossed for you beautiful I'm thinking of you i know how horrible the wait is especially being so close i hope she makes an appearance verry soon for you!!! big hugs i'm so excited for you and cant wait to read your BA !

is Ava excited? shes going to make a beautiful big sister xx

[~ Zarava Flutterby ~]

Thanks girls...

Ruf i am trying... updating keeps me busy... hehe

BC - your gorgeous hun and have been a wonderful support. Ava has NO IDEA whats about to happen to her... she will get the shock of her life.

Mum needs to go to the bank today and as her car is in Adelaide i will go for a drive with her, drop off a cheque of mine that needs to be banked etc.
So getting out might keep me occupied for a bit.

[Mad Scientist]

Good luck with everything. I know how you feel when you say you didn't reach to I want I out stage last time. I was the same but I also remember having a month of wondering if every niggle was it and whether I was going into preterm labour again. Most people only have the last week of agonizing waiting! The day that I stopped worrying about the niggles was the day dd2 arrived. Funny huh?! Good luck with it all Hun so excited for you!

Petal - my nausea came back with a vengeance four days before I went into labour with dd2 so maybe it's gonna happen very soon! Good luck!!! xxx

[Tiff+2]

Sending you a ton of labour vibes for tonight. I'm sure DP will get there and be able to welcome baby Zara with you really soon.
I wish you all the very best for the pending birth.
Come on little one

[Emma09]

GOOD LUCK!!!!
Hope that bubs makes her debut when DP is around to support you...
I half expected to see u at the hossy today when I went in for my appointment- u know, in a tent outside the emergency entrance!!
