boc, hello there hun
and murph im sure your rite chicky kelly only has 2 SLEEPS
oh and i forgot ive added a new montage in the blogs but its only a very short one.
Thanks for your comments regarding the Grandparent name thing, I was sure that I wouldn't be the only one to freak out at that one. Well I think I have decided that when I introdruce these new Grandparents to the baby and like to the midwives and stuff I'm going to say..."This is .....'s Grandma/Grandpa". I think that is going to be the best way so that I am making my subtle point without being blatantly obvious of my dislike. I suppose the only consolation is that they live 10 hours away from us, so regular contact face to face will probably only be a few times a year where as my parents live 30 minutes away so they will be the grandparents she will see regularly and as they have been grandparents for so long they automatically refer to themselves using the names of Nanna and Grandad.
Anyway as you have said, only 2 sleeps to go. We went out today and bought the last item I wanted before she arrives, a baby sling. We already have the baby carrier but a friend of our who has a 6 week old told me that the sling has been her godsend as when her baby has been unsettled and she just has to get stuff done around the house, she just puts the baby in the sling so it has close body contact but then has left her with her hands free to do stuff around the house. So I invested in one today as once DH goes back to work when bubs is 3 weeks, I will need to start doing basic housework and anything that helps get that done without causing too much distress to the baby must be a good thing.
Anyway girls, if I don't catch you all tomorrow I will try and drop in next week and let you know all the news. I'm going to take the laptop with me to hossy (can you imagine 5 days without internet) so I can also keep a watch on your journey's as well.
Murph: I hope that everything goes o.k on Wednesday with your growth scan, you have always felt Jasmine was on the little side and they say you can't beat a mothers intuition. It must be so frustrating to get this far down the track though and have this to now deal with, but so long as she has strong lungs when she comes out that is the most important thing.
Sorry have been MIA. I finished work yesterday...WOO HOO! So had a hectic week trying to getting everything organised before my last day yesterday. Im Ive remembered everything! Ive told work they can call me if need be.
Firstly a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Azz on the safe arrival of your 2 beautiful boys May they grow bigger and stronger everyday. Take care and am thinking of you.
Kelly - cant believe your only 2 sleeps away from meeting your little princess. You must be so excited Good luck and cant wait to hear from you next week
Grub - I cant imagine how your feeling and what your going through right now. Thats such a crappy thing to happen at this stage of your pregnancy. We are all here for you. Take it easy. xx
Seph - sorry to hear about your MS. Its not very pleasant. Hope it eases up for you.
Murph - good luck on Wednesday. Hope they can give you some more infinitive answers. As for a c-section, as long as Jazzy arrives safely is what counts. As for recovery, I had 2 laparotomies done last year which are bigger cuts than a c-section. They did hurt and recovery took between 4 - 6 weeks and my tummy still isnt the same now! From what my friends who've had c-sections have told me, lots were up and walking the next day. As long as you get help when you're home is the key as you are restricted with what you can do. Take care and keep us informed.
BOC - congrats on the good NT results. Its such a peace of mind
BDT - Congrats on the confirmation that your having 2 pink bundles At least now you can go shopping By the way, you are looking TERRIFIC! Love your updated belly pics.
to smithy, saph, greenslw, poppy fairy, neptune and everyone else.
AFM, as I said earlier, I am now on maternity leave!!!! Washed all my 000 sized clothes today, together with bubs booties, mittens and bibs. The line is FULL, lol My DP is starting to stress a bit now thinking how are we going to keep up with the washing etc. Saw my OB on Wednesday and he is happy with my progress. BP is great which is a relief so the tablets are working. He is now on 2 weeks leave so will only see him once more now before he delivers the baby. Have an appt with him on the 26th in which he'll tell us about the whole c-secttion procedure etc. Its all becoming VERY real now. Was hard to say goodbye to everyone at work. Lots kept telling me how much they'd miss me. As much as Im looking forward to not travelling to and from the city, ive been at my job nearly 20 years so its a huge change to be staying home for the next however months. My feet and back will thank me mind you as they have been hurting lots. All the extra weight isnt doing me any favours.
Belly rubs to all and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Firstly best of luck to Kelly - can't wait to hear all the news - hope you have a safe delivery and a speedy recovery.xx
Miss Mag - congrats on finishing work - make sure you take the time to rest up and enjoy some relaxing"me"time!
Grub - so sorry to hear DH has had to go away and for so long - my DH has just been away for 16 nights and i nearly died!!!! I did however take time to relax and do things i normally wouldn't when he is around so i suppose that was nice. You are very strong and i know you will be fine! xx
Murph - best of luck for your scan on Thur - i know easier said than done but try not to stress to much. I will be thinking of you xx
Hello and big belly rubs to everyone else - sorry for not gettibng to everyone but i am reading/lurking daily and thinking of you all.
AFM - had scan and appt Friday - fluid levels around the babies and blood flow through their cords is "textbook perfect" they apparently look happy and healthy BUT their is still growth discordance twin 1 is now 1700g and twin 2 is 1200g so we are looking at induction at 36weeks - will be given a date in 2 weeks time. So it's starting to feel very real and i'm getting very excited as i am so uncomfortable now - getting alot of back pain and pelvic pressure if i'm not careful and don't stay off my feet. So thats my exciting news - starting the count down! Now just trying to get last few things together. Anyway better go and get some dinner organised Take care ladies xxxx
Persephone goodluck with monday scan. I think being a teacher means a lack of name options too
Neptune glad to hear they get better (men)
Grub glad to see at 30wks you're still canoodeling with DH Hope you find something to keep you happy this weekend, When's DH back. Chocolate helps, so does nice oil in the oil burner.
Saph what a beautiful name.
Azz congratulations
Poppyfairy, hope the iron boost does the tric
BOC I hope you're looking after yourself.
Oh Murph hope Jazzy has a big growth spirt. Funny I feel quite small too it's been playing on my mind. Glad you're getting lots of good care.
KellyD goodluck with the 2 sleeps to go. So so so exciting.
MissMagpie yaya hope you're enjoying your maternity leave nice to have time to do the last bit of nesting.
Bella how exciting all went well with scan.
ATM: few it's the weekend finally for me. Really tired and menally burnt out. Good week but so full on, Lots to do at work.
I baught a cot! and some other cute things which was nice, it all feels real. Was so excited to reach the 24 week mark. Saw the OB and she seamed to think I was lying about how much Squeak kicks well as she put the doppler on me, Squeak booted it! perfect timing little one, so she ate her hat.
I love the movement but it is so distracting, seams to go 2 days loads of movement 2 days just a little, wonder if it's growth stuff, booked in for my sweet drink in 4 weeks Hope it's all ok, feeling ok but who knows. The weeks are flying buy.
Oh odd craving of the week, Toast+Bacon+Honey, I stopped myself but boy I felt like it hehehe
Murph - How frustrating for you with your local hospital. I bet you can't wait to get back there and give them the BIG 'I told you so!!!!!' Now you have the big hospital on your side Jazz and you can get the support you both need.
Greenslw - love the kicking the doppler! Classic! I was just going to say I haven't been getting big kicks and that minute I got a massive painful kick!!! They are more clued in then we think!!! Go for it with the bacon and honey! I am a vege and that even sounds nice to me!!
Kelly - Good luck with the delivery! Glad you have come to a decision about the grandparent thing. What sort of sling did you get? I got a close parent carrier which is like the hug-a-bub and apparently that can be used while you do stuff about the house as well
Seph - good luck with your scan!
Miss Magpie- enjoy your leave!
Grub - You treat yourself while DH is away!!! Keep busy and hopefully the days go quicker. It is bad enough though counting down the weeks of pregnancy and now you have to count down until he gets back. Hugs. It is just all waiting this game isn't it?
BOC and Bella - good results from your scans and checkups!
Everyone else Hello!!!! and belly rubs
AFM - Had my first antenatal class yesterday. Was hoping it would be a chance to make some friends here (we only moved to this town a few months ago) but have never been in a room with such a miserable lot!! DH and I were surpressing giggles at all the 'rude' information like descriptions of perineum massage (immature I know but we had to get some fun out of it!) and everyone else was so poker faced. I felt like the naughty kids at school. The midwife even tried to make some jokes and DH and I were the only ones that laughed!
Today we went on a tour of the labour ward and some even more depressing people were on that! DH and I told off our bub afterwards and asked him why he decided to be born at the same time that the most boring people on earth were also giving birth!!
The labour ward tour was good though. It seems they have as their 'policy' all the things I want from a birth. They routinely do skin-to-skin contact straight after the birth and encourage the baby doing the breast crawl. They don't do any weighing or anything (unless an emergency) until you have had an hour to cuddle. They also let the cord stop pulsing before cutting and don't force you to have injections for the birth of the placenta. They also actively encourage active and upright births. They have aromatherapy and ensure the room is dimly lit and quiet. They have all the birthing balls and pools and low couches etc. Really good for an NHS public hospital!
Our room is now almost a nursery. DH put the shelf up for bub's nappies and stuff and took the mirror off the dressing table that is going to be our change table and moved it into position. The baby hammock is still packed away as it is too early yet for that I cannot wait to wash and fold his little clothes. I think I will do that at 30 weeks. It is still early but I will use the excuse of dwindling sunlight and cold air for doing it then. the clocks go back here soon and it will be dark at 4:30pm and too cold and dark to be hanging stuff outside and I want the clothes to get the disinfecting effect of sunlight.
Sorry for the long me bit but lots of exciting things to share. Well I am excited!!!
OMG KELLY ONLY 1 MORE SLEEP
i dont know how your feeling but im excited even woke straight up today and said to my dh were having a baby tomoorow in our group yay
hope you get some rest tonight hun (yeh rite ) and have the most beautiful day tomorrow wow its your turn sweety after all this time and everything you have been through ,just look at your ticker and NOW, your having a beautiful baby IM SO PROUD .
Oh Greenslw... don't feel bad about the craving, my preggy friend recently got me hooked on raisin toast topped with bacon & maple syrup and although I was a little shocked at first it was yuuuuummmmmm!
Just a quick one today, I just had to share. Shortly after my ramble yesterday I went and laid down for a nap. While I was laying there I started getting this pushy, pressure-like feeling at the very front of where Cookie is. Then it stopped, then a few minutes later it started again & stopped again. All of a sudden I got these bubbly little tap-tap-taps happening! So clear and so very exciting I was in tears of happiness! I know it's still early and I'll probably have to wait a few weeks for some good whacks but it's just great, the most awesome feeling ever! Can't wait for the big goalie-or-ballerina kicks to start!
Hope you all have a great rest of your weekend! Good luck for tomorrow Kelly!!!
