Murph I reccon the babies are causing an increase in "pitty parties" I am normally a very stong girl, Fight before cry every time but now. Well we had the talk, while DF was screwing and glewing battons to his ceiling I brought up a cuppa and got into him subtally. Boys are always better at talking when they have their hands full (steering wheel, tools etc.) Probably not a chain saw though . So we went to the local farmers market early in the morning and saw his former employer and he told them he'd be back at the end of next year. I didn't loose my cool just moved on. When we got home I needed to know, I'm feeling way out of the loop and not coping so here goes. "babe, you know I wont be a Social Worker here right?" and then it lead to "we'll work it out" his thinking is 3-4 days away then home with baby for the rest of the time, I guess it's not ideal but much better than off I go see ya later. Also with DSS still at school I'm not ready for baby + teenager on my own. So we talked and I feel better. I don't know how many times I tell him to "TALK TO ME" because in my mind it's always 100x worse. but he is a man p.s. well done on no tv you are a legand!
Azz I hope you had a wonderful lunch.
Kelly lots and lots of support. Hope it moves quicker for you.
Poppyfairy, I second your comments in entirety. I get the sugar honey ice tea with my job all the time and want to move to Darwin, but when you're pg it's NOT THE TIME. Even to vent. here's hoping at some point your DH and my DF get that. Goodluck car hunting.
Bella glad the boys are going well and nice and fat (relitively)
Neptune glad your nursery is ready, that must be a relief.
BabyDreamtime Goodluck with your 3 hour scan tomorrow (what a long one) glad you and I are sharing the same pain, at least it's "normal"
Saph glad you had a good day. I'll be pg for my b'day too, bummer no wine
BOC glad you can decorate the nursery your way
ATM a new woman, after my long talk with DF I realised that he was thinking of me and I was thinking things were 100x worse than they were, but still (again) needed to tell him to TALK TO ME. I had a great time in the country saw so many people who were all really excited for us re baby to be.
The house was beautiful, nice to sit by the fire and chill out. I planted some treas two years ago and they were a little worse for ware (dam snails) so I did a little gardening and felt really good about it. It rained too and on the tin room it was really soothing had a reall good weekend
Further update - tried earlier but the site was down.
Well OB confirmed we are still all go for Monday 12th, he did a scan to check the position of the baby and the placenta before the surgery and he said that even though she is head down she has not even moved into my pelvis as he thinks that her head is not in the correct position for this to happen. Basically if we hadn't gone the elective c/s route he would have probably recommended it to us now anyway as he doesn't think she has any chance of coming out normally. Also he advised that the placenta is also laying very low, luckily not over the cervix but still pretty low so another potential option for a c/s as well. It seems I was destined to go the c/s route no matter what.
What this also means is that even though I am getting contractions and discomfort there is little to no chance of it progressing further due to her positioning, so I now just have to tough it out until Monday, but at 6 more sleeps to go I suppose I have waited this long so a few more days isn't going to kill me.
BDT: I hope your scan went well today and that you can feel more confident about your colours and hit the shops.
Just quickly. It's a GIRL and another GIRL , 100% no doubt about it. Both are perfect and beautiful and I am very happy. Got a few lovely 4D pics, they look like pretty princesses already lol. DH is happy, I 'm glad we had the last couple of weeks prep for him to get used to the idea, so he is excited and can't wait either.
KellyD, only a few days to go, sounds like your c/s is a great plan.
Hey all...I have two words of advice first of all...slippery elm! Unbelievable for indigestion, started taking it after telling my accupuncturist about my routine sleep/reflux problem and hey what can I say. I have been sleeping...ahhh.
BDT - I secretly thought you would be pink all the way, so happy that your man has seen sense to feel doubly blessed to have two little girls. What a beautiful family.xox
KellyD, I mightn't be as far behind you as I have been all along. I have a big hospital appointment on Thursday to find out my birthing options now that it seems pretty clear Jazzy just won't turn. I have been having accupuncture and chinese moxa treatments since last week and the funniest thing happened yesterday, my very traditional doc asks in his subdued matter of fact tone "and how do you feel about caesarian?" It was like he was admitting he doesn't believe in any of this witchcraft mumbo jumbo he's doing to turn her and was just cutting the crap. I laughed at him and he laughed at my response and then telling DH it was like I was such a hopeless case for a hard core traditionalist to be so honest that we both just cracked up laughing. It's hard to explain my sense of humour...you had to be there
I haven't got time for the full catch up because like normal people I'm going to try to sleep tonight and get up at a decent hour
Hey Greenslw, Poppy, Neptune (still hanging in there), BOC, Grub and lots lots more. talk soon.xoxo
O.K Girls I'm going insane now. The wait is killing me, and I thought our original TWW was bad.
Cleaned the bathroom today, have to go into town tomorrow for further bloods to check iron levels before c/s (which is a 40 min drive away) and then decided towels get washed on Friday, Sheets on Saturday and then general clothes on Sunday with some ironing. Sounds so exciting, but trying to space everything out so that all is done before Monday and I don't go into hossy thinking about what I forgot to do at home.
Apart from that I am really tired and trying to get as much rest as possible over the next few days as well as my life of having sleep in will soon be a thing of the past.
BDT: You must feel better now know for sure about your 2 pink bundles, you will love shopping for all the girls clothes and stuff. If I must say there is so much more options for girls than boys. Good to hear that your DH has now come round to the idea of them both being girls. Strange though that if you were having a singleton and then had another child of the same sex it doesn't seem that much of a problem but unless you are having identical twins everyone seems to think that you should then have one of each colour. Nature just does it's own thing...
Murph: I'm not stressed at all about the c/s as I think that being fully aware and prepared for what is going to happen has taken away any fear there might have been. So long as bubs comes out healthy I don't care how it happens. So my advise is research as much as possible on c/s deliveries and I have seen and heard stories that the recovery from a scheduled c/s is much better than an emergency c/s as you haven't had to put you body through labour for hours (and hours) and then had the shock of having major surgery. And if you factor in what we have already gone through to get here (Injections, EPU's, Transfers ect) what is one more procedure to get our babies here safe and sound.
5 More Sleeps.....
