Lastnight, 31st March at 9.50pm, weighing 7lb 9oz, and healthy and gorgeous!!
Jude said she went to her Ob appointment in the morning, and discovered she was already 2-3cm dialted, with Daniel engaged - and after the Ob performed a sweep, she was getting contractions within the half hour. Had her waters broken in the afternoon, and the little man arrived in the evening!!
WELL DONE JUDE, AND WELCOME TO DANIEL!!
You are living proof us old girls can still pump out bubs (lol!!) - and I'm so relieved you got the natural birth you wanted and that your little man is here healthy and happy.
Wow, Jude, congratulations! Especially on the pleasant surprise of not having to be induced! Welcome Daniel, now we have two little men to fawn over.
You've got lots of attention on you, Laney! I'm very glad to hear that. You're one of the ones I've been hoping and crossing my fingers for extra much. It'll be good with the frequent non-stress tests. Now that you're soon past 30 weeks and they've got a handle on things, it feels more safe that they will be able to help bubs out in case something goes wrong. But it won't go wrong!
Nothing happening here yet! But I think I might be having BH now -- it's hard to say, as whatever is happening is a tiny bit painful and uncomfortable, but not nearly as "stop in my tracks" as both my midwife and the one from our classes said. And of course the BH apparently indicate nothing much. But with every little slightly painful twinge or lower back ache I'm going "Yeah, come on! Hurt more!"

Congratulations Jude on the birth of Daniel!!! A bit stressful in the last week but I'm so glad things worked out the way they were meant to.
Laney, really glad to hear from you and thrilled things are going so well. It really sounds like you're getting the attention you deserve and I know that you'll take your boy home too.
I've finally worked out how to post some pics. I have millions of course but it takes ages to post each one and I'm watching him stir and hoping he stays asleep just a teeny bit longer... Here is our boy
We are doing well generally, he feeds well and my boobs are actually not too sore which I was dreading so that's excellent. trying to get him to sleep in his bed at night has been a challenge but to be expected. I got the post baby blues when my milk came in and unfortunately the feeling of recovering from the Caesar as well as the similar weather brought back all the memories and feelings of when I had Edward, which added a whole other dimension. But I'm feeling better now and chatted to the midwife this morning when she came round to weigh him and it was good to know it's completely normal. Otherwise I still can't quite believe he's ours and he's here and healthy!!!
I am a bit late with my congrats but here goes....
CONGRATS ROZZIE ON THE SAFE ARRIVAL OF HENRY!!!!
I checked out your photos and he is adorable!
And of course,
CONGRATS JUDE ON THE ARRIVAL OF DANIEL!!!!
Tildy - hope your bub decides to make its arrival soon for you! Should we be aiming for another blue bundle (sorry, can't remember if you know the sex or not)?
Laney - congrats on how far you have made it. It is wonderful seeing your ticker just speeding along there and it sounds like your doctors have you under close watch which can only be a good thing.
Not much to report here. My stitch is booked for removal on the 14 April (unless I go into labour earlier) and I will possibly be induced the same day - ob will decide on the day depending on my cervix and how engaged she is. Bubs has definitely dropped though & I am secretly hoping my waters break before the scheduled stitch removal date so we can just get it over with. I just want to meet her now!!
My goodness Jo, I swore you were only about 30 weeks, then I see your ticker and it's almost time!!! So excited for you, less than two weeks till you meet your little girl. Enjoy your last days of pregnancy.
Jude, I am so happy to hear that Daniel is here and nice and big.
Rozzie, I love the picture of you and baby Henry! I can't wait to see more pictures as he grows.
Tildy, You should be next! Unless Jo decides to go a bit early. I still think that you are having a little girl. When is your next doctors appt.?
I am starting to relax a bit about this pregnancy. I think talking to my high risk doctor last week was a huge help for me. He said that babies that grow at or above the 50th percentile at this point will not have a growth problem later. He said that he has been doing this for a long time and knows what he is talking about. I also know that there are a lot of other things that can go wrong during pregnancy so the extra ultrasounds and nst's should help me relax. I hope!
Jo (jlk)- I have wanted to ask you how you have been doing for a while now. I am not too sure why but I didn't know how to start that post. I see that I missed Finn's Birthday by a few days. I hope that it wasn't too difficult for you. I just wanted to tell you that I have been thinking of you from time to time and I am glad that you post once and a while.
Judy - congrats on the arrival of Daniel, I remember when we were on the ttc road together, its so wonderful to see the much anticipated arrival of Daniel, I know he's been a long stressful time coming, enjoy this precious time with your gorgeous little man. Can't wait to hear how you are and how it all went, but so great to see you got the delivery you wanted.
Congratulations to all your wonderful women on your recent arrivals, I'm sorry I don't know too many of you these days, but congratulations my thoughts are with you all. We all know the road to this moment is full of obstacles and high stress, but you girls are proof that we would go through anything to have healthy babies.
Laney - so great to see you here, and to see you getting looked after with more attention. I'll be watching you closely with all my thoughts and deepest prayers coming your way hon, good luck
to all the ladies who are still pg, good luck, your doing so weel just to even try again, look after yourselves and keep focussed on that good outcome, i know thats hard to do, but even just a little bit of positivity can do wonders on getting you through.
it has been so long lovely ladies i dont really get on BB anymore. dont take it personally i just decided that i needed to get on with living in the real word to help me move on a bit. but please know i think of you all often and it was so great to check today and read of two new arrivals!
my little man is lovely and growing up far too fast, i dont know where the time has gone. i updated my ticker so you can see a more recent picture of him.
jude - a big huge congratulations to you and your family and welcome to the world Daniel. i am so happy for you that all went well.
rozzie - also congratulations - sorry its a bit delayed i hope you are loving every minute with precious Henry - i love the name too!
Thank you everyone esp Lee. Was so great to meet you and Remy today .. and the cakes were delicious
Laney I was having CTG monitoring and the BPP weekly with Daniel and it was reassuring. The CTG were sometimes every 2nd day. It will help with the bonding too seeing bub so frequently
Hey Klee and Simba, your bubs are looking really so grown up now .
Jo big (((HUG))) for Finns angelversary.
It is Annabelles this weekend. I am hoping when we leave here Sunday morning (I am still in hospital enjoying my 'holiday') we can go to Kingston Cemetery first with some flowers for Belle and introduce Daniel.
Tildy those b/h can change almost in an instant to the real deal and you wouldn't know unless you were being monitored. I wasn't sure if my ctx were the real deal or b/h but once I was in hosp and the OB came in and ruptured the membranes they got much more intense. He did say rupturing them would move thngs along a bit faster but I still reckon it was the check at 8:15pm that got things moving from 1 ctx every 10 mins to 3 in every 10 mins and he arrived shortly after.
Daniel is a sleepy bub, slightly jaundiced but will be ok once we are home and in routine and more sunlight than is available here. Building work going on so the window is blocked with construction screens.
He is stirring so time to go.
hugs all and thank you for the congrats msgs
Jude
Hi Jude - I agree, was lovely to actually meet someone from BB in real life!! And getting that cuddle with Daniel was precious - yep, super clucky here, and have decided to start trying for my last bub as of NOW, well yesterday actually. Daniel is super cute, and SO little!!!! I'm usesd to my big 9 or more pounders with lots of chub!!! So, to me he's such a little fella, but they are all cute really. Glad you like the cakes, that French bakery is just a tad close to my house and gets a bit too convenient at times!!
So, girls will keep you posted if and when I need to rejoin this thread....... watch this space. Although I'm tired just thinking about being pregnant with a toddler - I did this 10 years ago and it's all a blurry memory now!!! Ah well, I'll just have to find me a willing Nanny or two
