sory saph can't help from personal experience but i know our hospy midwives recommend 2nd timers to do the course again. things change and you forget i think was the gist. but only if you feel you need it i suppose. and lol, the nappies... everything is small tho!
lani - well tday should be your day love. thinking of you and good luck!
good luck wantababy how exciting. let us know how it all goes.
hi LM!
thanks so much miss lovely tania for dropping and sharing with us some of your joy. I still can't believe i'll have a baby by christmas. i told DH to wrap the bub up and put him under the tree for me lol... or at least tell my gullible mum that is what he's going to do so i can laugh my ass off at her reaction.
greenslw - what do you mean the party is a surprise? and did you get the fence sorted?
Boc - hows you? this cool weather is soooo nice hey! lol.
kyra - hope your move is going well love and ds is adjusting.
Poppyfairy - hows it all going over there? any progress for your dad lately?
smithy - how is your sickness going thesedays? you seem to be a bit better since your hospy trip some time ago. I like your belly cast.
murph - i didn't mention how gorgeous jazzy is! she is just devine love.
seph - you haven't popped in for ages? how are you going?
lise- you still here love??
HI to all the girls i've missed please let us know what you are up to. you don't have to do a huge persie list everytime but i know I do like to hear from you all and what's happening in your life.
Well the keyboard is working now! I think i've been losing my plug since my s&s yesterday and have been having very mild, irregular contractions. Was sssooo hopeful last night would be it but nope! again I just wake up now and say to dh 'no baby'. Starting to think bub doesn't want to meet us!!! DH reckons its cos i've done such a good job keeping bubba safe and warm that he doesn't want to come out heeehee.
anyhoo, bub really only has 24 hrs left to make his own entrance cos after tomorrow's monitoring i'm pretty sure i'll be booked for an induction. Apparently this time of year is very fully booked for 'social inductions' as everyone due at christmas books to have bubs before then... But our doc said cos of the fluid levels, which are quite low, and given we are now overdue, we have the ''medical reasons'' trump card and will bummp someone, which i was relieved to hear.
anyhoo, they will try breaking my waters first and then put me on a very low dose of the syno drip. I apparently am beyond the gel now cos my cervix is soft and opening... so things ARE happening at least.
I feel very disheartened at the moment and that i'll be making that appointment tomorrow Even the doc seemed surprised to see us yesterday. I really really want that "hollywood moment'' when i say to DH "it's time, my waters broke'' or such. This might be our only chance and I don't want it to be all medical, like we had to do to get him!
okay whinge and whine of a 'heavily pregnant' woman now over.
thanks for all your vibes girls... and again GOOD LUCK LANI!!!
lani and Grub - wishing you both all the very best and hoping you get the dream labours you want and so deserve!
Still here, still no computer so although I do check several times a day I'm afraid at the moment I'm a bit of a lurker...
Very happy week for DH and I - I'm now 12 weeks pregnant and our scan is tomorrow!! As soon as we've seen it's all good we FINALLY get to shout it to the rooftops. Am so very excited, I feel like I can finally let my guard down a little. Of course I know we're a long way from actually holding our baby yet but I never thought I'd get this far so definitely s time of celebrations in our house!!
Anyway, love and belly rubs to all, hope everyone us travelling well.
Hi all,
no time for persies, gotta wake wee baby bear, who's been sleeping in papa bear's bed. He spent his first night away from us and we have to shoot down to Atherton to pick him up after he hands over his work ute. Excuse my potty mouth Grub and sorry to make you homesick. I'll pop in and have a cuppa with your folks
so just wanted to say, if you don't go today Grub, there's still time to go to your calm place with my splendind vision in my "teddies".
Good luck today Lani and Grub
Woohoo Lise, thinking of you getting to tell everyone really soon. what an amazing experience this time of year.
well managed a few persies, better bugger off. xox
Lani: Ooooh good luck! Hopefully by now you are well & trully in the throes!
Grub: Wow must be so exciting to know you will have bluey in your arms very soon! Make sure you take a pic of your Mum's face when he tells her, classic! Loving this weather hey. am off to the Ob today then off to brave the masses at Kotara to finish my Xmas shopping. Was in there Saturday, it was a nightmare!
Smithy: My computer has decided it just doesn't like Piczo site anymore and gives me error messages every time I try to stalk your page sooo very jealous cause I would love to see your belly cast! Did you do one for Coops too How are you feeling these days?
Lise: for 12 weeks! such an awesome feeling! Are you going to wait til Xmas to tell everyone?
Murph: Your little princess is soooo gorgeous you could just eat her up! Loved the "smelling the roses" pic too!
to everyone else!
AFM: 24 weeks today! Yay for 60% cooked! Went to the physio yesterday, got alovely massage and then he put the heat pack on me and left me for 15mins, and had to wake me up when he came back hope I wasn't snoring! Got the belt and it seems to have helped, got a good sleep in last night, 2 x 3hr and 1 x 1.5hr sessions! That's a record I think!
Very happy, got a guy coming tomorrow to do the insulation in the house so at least it will be a little bit cooler next hot day! Oh and can't remember if I told you but a few weeks ago I had some preggy glamour shots done. Well the photos are ready to be picked up on Friday! Can't wait! They were REALLY expensive to buy so I only got a couple, but since then I've spoken to a friend who is a photographer and she's going to do some more in Jan for me, about 200 shots for $100 and she just puts them all on the disc for me, I don't have to buy any enlargements! AWESOME!
Anyway hope you all have a great day! Looking forward to my Ob appt at 12 casue I get another scan & get to see my little Cookie again!
Just wanted to pop in and wish Lani and Grub all the very best. Very soon you will be holding your precious bundles in your arms... there is nothing in the world that compares to that.
Lani & Grub – wishing you both all the best over the next couple of days. I hope it is not much longer till you are both holding your little miracles. It will be the best Christmas present ever.
This thread seems to move so fast at times and I have trouble keeping track of everyone. I have been lurking a lot but haven’t really had the time to post. I don’t have time to post at work (and shouldn’t be doing this right now!). Things have been crazy busy with the Christmas lead up. Hopefully I will have more time to post in the NY.
We have our next scan booked for Thursday. I will only be 11w4d but they are happy for me to do it a little early. I have my big work Christmas party that afternoon. Everyone would notice and probably ask why I wasn’t drinking so I thought it best to book the scan early and get that finally tick of before sharing the news at the party.
Oh and Smithy – I loved the photo’s of the belly cast you did. I will definitely have to do one of those when I am further along. Thanks for the great idea!
how exciting. let us know how it all goes.
I just wake up now and say to dh 'no baby'. Starting to think bub doesn't want to meet us!!! DH reckons its cos i've done such a good job keeping bubba safe and warm that he doesn't want to come out heeehee.
