good, glad to hear we won't miss much!!! I'm feeling not too bad but have a mild case of SPD and sore feet. 2 more weeks of work, I am HANGING out to finish. Also the heat wave is meant to break tomorrow so thank god for that.
I was thinking of keeping the date of the op secret too, partly for the surprise factor for everyone else, also because it may change anyway (you never know) and also I don't want people ringing me the night before or whatever. I haven't mentioned it to DH, don't think he'd be that keen.
Ellie I hadn't even thought of the visitor thing but as thi sis baby #5 alive then I'll probably only have Robert and my dad come in every day and Roberts mum and dad may come in once. Even after a stillbirth the 'novelty' of a new baby wears off on family and freinds very quickly. I am anticiapting a very quiet relaxing hospital stay of the FULL 5 days thsi time. no going home early coz I know wht will be waiting for me at home. No rest. No time to relax. just busy busy.
No ante-natal classes here either coz each pg ha been differenet and each baby ha been differeent so I just go with the flow so to speak.
1:15am and I feel zonkered ou even though I havne't had any back pain releif for about 36 hrs but did my glass of cold milk. My indulgence of a midnight snack is freezing cold milk lol. No wonder I am bigger than any other pg and can't wear the same clothes I did with my other pgs.
Hey Judy...lol re cold milk..I am craving chocmilk and I am the size of a house!!!How is your back? Are the med's helping?
Rozzie - 2 more weeks of work...hope it flies by! Thanks for listening yesterday...feeling heaps better today
Well 36 weeks today...2 weeks to last Ob appointment....spent yesterday 'nesting'...had poor DH wash all our towels in softener because I couldn't stand them feeling like cardboard! Then I had him cleaning, cleaning, cleaning....at some point in the day I commented to him that I'd love to be able to come home from hospital to a clean house...the response..."I had already anticipated that and I have a plan in place!"...cracked me up...poor love...no wonder he's calling me pregzilla!!!!

angelicdragon - Hope you back is better and you are not in too much pain.
Ellie - How are you? Hope you are keeping well.
AFM - Had my scan today. It was such a relief to see our baby's heartbeat - 170bpm and 2cm long!!!! I was ecstatic as I had a nightmare last night that they told me there was no heartbeat so I was freaking out this morning!! Poor DF didn't know what to do with me!! He took me out to lunch afterwards to celebrate - he is such a sweetheart. Scan dates show we are at 8 weeks and 5 days so will need to update my ticker.
Theresa, great news!! I'm sure your little bubba was super cute.
Ellie, you're welcome we have a C-section info class tomorrow, and when DH booked there was only one other couple signed up, so it's quite probable I'll be whingeing about that one tomorrow night.
Jude, I hope you're feeling better.
I hope I can last the next 2 weeks at work, I don't want to use my annual leave. We had briefs all day and I found the chairs so uncomfy, my lower back still aches!!
Congrats on a healthy scan Theresa. That heartbeat is so reassuring .
Rozzie good luck with the class and make sure you get to across how you want things to go as son as bub is born. I have been told that you cna have bub placed on your chest as soon as delivereid then taken away a bit later for cleaning etc while you get stitiched up but you still get thsoe first few minutes of bub skin to skin, Dr permitting. I hate the way in most C sec they take bub away soon as they have shown you them over the curtain then next time they are so swaddled up it is a wonder you can even see a tiny face.
Ellie how ready are you now? Not long at all.
I have a gut feeling the next full moon in 4 wks will see Daniel arrive. 36 wks will be ok for me though.
hugs all
Jude
