Pregnancy after Long Term TTC #5 - 2009

[grub17]

hi girls haven't posted for awhile as lots happening here... but have been following you all...

murph- i'm so glad you are feeling okay if a c-sect is required. personally, i am really dreading if they tell me i must have one but like someone else said, if you are prepared for what will happen and it means a healhty arrival for bub, then how could you not! oxox

oh neptune. hope that bub gets moving along soon. the only other thing i've heard of is to relax. maybe you could treat yourself to a facial or such and just let go? also maybe try walking or some exercise? hope bub gets moving soon lovie. ox

persephone - oh dear! poor DH... but i did get an amusing mental picture of this grown man riding into a tree or such. still, tell him it is very unconsiderate for him to break his arm right now! Monday isn't far away love. hope the time flies... but it probably wn't with your mum waffling on about baby stuff lol.

lol kellyd - i believe you! the waiting is killing me now and i'm not even at full term! patience is not one of my virtues. hope things get going very soon. oxo

bdt - i just knew it! your dh was just shocked when he initially found out that's all. congrats on your double pink! at least buying stuff will be a bit cheaper cos you won't need a full double wardrobe for a boy and a girl I always find pointing out the cost saving of a situation to my dh a very good tactic as well lol. ox

hi to everyone else. .. do pop in and let us know where you are at xx

afm - well after dh's course this year got canned and he was put on the one next april and we sorted it all out... got a phone call on tuesday to say he's back on the Oct/Nov course... leaves saturday for 7 weeks!!!! eeekk.. well actually i said f$@!%^&$Q b%%#$#! s#$#~!@ f#%$@#%^# d@$%heads and then cried for an hour.

fortnately my sister can still come down for 10 days and i hadn't got around to cancellng her airfares. so it's back to the original plan, with 3 days notice tho. so dh is running around trying to get everythign done before he goes... he'll only be home 2 weeks before bub is due and the ob told me today they won't be letting me go very much over my EDD. my poor dh, he's got so many 'jobs' to do for me - lawn mowing, moving furniture, organising vehicles, etc

so feeling quite stressy about timings and bubs arrival. and scared about going into labour all alone etc. and about dh missing out on the last 7 weeks of pregnancy. He probably won't get home at all in that time

okay pity party must end as i'm off to work. half day today so at least i get nap.

oh yeah, it was our 3 yr wedding anniversary yesterday! yayya. went for a lovely low key italian meal with gelati and a canoodle afterwards.

ox

anyhoo, nothing i can do so gotta work with the situation. only got 4 weeks left at work (3 weeks on monday) and have a few things, like KellyD, planned - washing, sewing, craft days, breastfeeding course with ABA etc.

Grub - that sucks honey You can lean on us in here too if you need, but I know that doesn't really help whilst he's away. But just imagine the reunion when he returns, and then grubby bub will arrive and it will be wonderful

Just checking in to see that everyone is doing well. Not much is changing here. Have Ob appointment on wed and since it has been 8 weeks since I saw her I have a list the length of my arm and leg.

So bad went shoping again yesterday and bought more blue things like we need any as we still have all of Campbells baby clothes.

My plan is to sort out his clothes into sizes and pack them into boxes. Iam finding that we are slightly out of season for the two of them Campbell being a beginning of summer baby and this one being an end of summer. That is my excuse for shopping and I am sticking to it.

Oh I think we have a name, we have had it for a long time but when we found out we were definantly having another boy I stressed that it was to old/uncommon. So give me you thoughts. Drum roll it is Xavier. (Dh wants to spell it Zavier as he will never pronounce it with the X)

Oh good news the MIL moves out on the weekend and then we can get bac to a normal life.

Belly rubs to everyone.

saph hun loven that name

[Persephone1]

Saph, I'm a family lawyer, so I see every name there is. Xavier is a beautiful name, very strong and I think, timeless. I might need to add it to my list...

[grub17]

i really like xander and xavier but DH isn't big on them. He also prefers the phonetic spelling for xander ie zander. personally i like the x. good luck saph.

thanks neptune. yeah i just keep looking forward and i've broken the time away into sections ie working, sister visiting, baby shower, sister leaving, dh home. it's easier to cop that way.... ox

Saph: A friend of our has a little boy who is 10 months old called Xavier. It really suits him and is a strong boys name. I think I prefer it spelt with the X rather than the phonic as all through his life he will have to say Xavier... Spelt with a Z.
