Hi all,
So much has gone on in just a few days, it's a little hard to keep up.
Great to hear from you Possums, hoping you are here soon.
Just a quick one from me as I am tired and want to go to bed. Been having terrible braxton hicks contractions for about three days. They are so uncomfortable and nothing I do will ease them off. I almost rang ob last night because I couldnt get comfy enough to sleep. Anyone got any suggestions of how I can get rid of them or at least ease them off.
Saph - I feel for you with the BH. I think though like with most of these pleasures of pregnancy it is the same old story. Only cure is getting the baby out! I have noticed that my heartburn and breathlessness has eased up. However the Pubis thing has cranked up a notch or two. Must be baby moving down!!!! I hope your pain eases soon.
LM -=- Congrats on getting past the nine week zone! just remember every week is a successs.. Im still counting them.. My next big milestone is 24 weeks because its where Ive read is the starting point of any possible chance of survival if I were to have the baby prematurely.. I think the odds are really low at that age, but I still see it as better off then no odds at all, so Im looking forward to getting past that point now takeing baby steps per say
I can definately sympathise with the vegetarian critisisms. My DH is vegetarian and Im not.. When we had DS it was non stop comments and remarks from my mother and my family, and well the general public... like "Dont you try to force that baby to be vegetarian youll make it sick!" and "Is he trying to force this on you, is he preaching to you like a cult member???" and "Hes crazy his iron levels will be nothing he's pale he looks anemic!!" and "you dont eat meat, you idiot! People are MEANT to eat meat!" sigh.. it goes on doesnt it.. Then theres trying to find a restaurant or anywhere really to eat out that doesnt have meat in every single dish.. We even went to a restaurant once and he asked for a meal without the chicken in it, and the waiter scoffed at him and said "why in the hell would you want it like that?" And this was in a restaurant covered wall to wall with buddhist statues and paintings! Some restaurants say to us when we ask if they have anything vegetarian "yes we have plenty of fish dishes!" then when we correct them and say, "no do you have anything without meat in it" they say "oh, ok yes well we have calamari and squid etc etc" LOL
Sorry to here your still waiting Grub.1 day to go. Hopefully with any luck you wont be able to make it to the dinner tonight for a very special reason The walk with the christmas lights and magnum sounds great to me! At least if not for anything else youll be nice and fit for the labour!
Poppy -=- 5 Degrees! That almost makes me happy to be here in the hot muggy heat.. but now when I write that not so much LOL.. Hope you get nice and clucky washing bubbas clothes today! Take it easy
Saph -=- Im sorry about the BH.. people say they dont hurt but they are most definately uncomfortable, feels like your pelvis and stomach turn into a rock and tries to burst through you like in one of thos alien movies! I do think its just one of those things tho Hope they ease up soon !
AFM -=- We had a colourfull afternoon yesterday.. We decided to take a load over to the new place and then start putting away some of the things and clearing the path for the removalists.. My MIL and FIL were with us which made for very short tempered tiffs between all four of us over what should go where and how to do it all and how we were going to cover up the space under the gate where the dog could get under etc etc etc.. I Love my in laws.. They are so cute when they get opinionated, and sometimes its a laugh just to sit back and watch them bug the hell outta DH. They've been so wonderfull tho, we couldnt have gotten half the amount done that we have without them, and they're always bringing out spiderman clothes and toys and things for DS (his current obsession) and bringing us little things we've mentioned we want/ need for the baby or for anything without us even asking them.. With a mother like mine it feels strange to have such help and niceness lol
anyway.. everything going smoothly, and My DS who has been so pooped hes slept in til now is stirring.. Talk to you all soon <3 Ky
kyra - sounds like the moving is going well. i imagine it's all pretty confusing and scary for your little boy, maybe that's why he's been such a terror! and ditto the inlaws. mine are lovely and i'm very fond of them, but they do drive me a little batty sometimes lol. but i have the good fortune to be close to my parents as well.
saph - sorry love can't help with the BH advice. but hope it improves for you.
DH's work dinner went well. we were up til 12.30am!!! i was so exhausted and when i got to bed felt heaps of pains/pulling etc down low so thought it ws the night and i'd wake up with contractions... nup! bub was very very active last nght as well but this morning he wouldn't move for anything - poking,changing my position, drinking very cold apple juice, breakfast et al... so i completely freaked out after an hour and called the birthing suite... They were so lovely, went in and got some monitoring done and all is well. He is moving but probably squirmed a bit so his arms/legs are now facing inside me. So ii feel very very relieved now and am glad i called... can't be too safe!
I find that i am waiting for "something'' bad to happen/go wrong/not work etc... probably understandable given our long journey to get here.
anyhoo - let's hope he comes soon, all by himself
xo

Just a short one from me, won't attempt too many persies today.
Grub: Still sending evac vibes, hopefully it's today or tomorrow. Glad you got some monitoring done, I love the staff at NPH birthing suite, they didn't make me feel at all stupid when I went in either.
Smithy: Thank you soooo much for the bacon muffin craving... although must admit I'm happy you're able to eat well!
Kyra: Glad the move is going so well. And glad DS has worn himself out & given you a much-needed break!
Saph: sorry about the BH, I've been getting a fair few too. Hope you get some rest soon.
LM: YAY! Congrats on 9 weeks! GLad you can finally start celebrating!
Hmmmm... Lani is a bit quiet... perhaps there's movement at the station???
AFM: Still plodding along. Had another rough night and was just laying down to nap when DH came home from golf and put on his best Baby Elephant impression, crashing all over the house have spent the last hour on the lounge with him watching golf on TV and Cookie has been going hyper! Heaps of kicking and rolling, but then stopped when I left the room... oh dear! Please please PLEASE tell me I'm not going to get stuck with TWO golf nuts in the house!
Went to a Xmas party last night up the street and while we were walking home (or DH rolling home ) I could clearly feel a spine jutting out of my lower belly, could feel all the verterbrae... very freaky indeed! Reminded me of scenes from "Alien"
Anyway hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Sunday! :bellyrub: to you all and labour vibes to our two mummies-in-waiting!
Good morning belly friends :)
