Lani - many many congratulations on the birth of your little boy. I hope you and he are well, and DH is looking after you both. Hope the birth wasn't too awful. xx
Lani: Congrats on the arrival of Jett, enjoy this special time getting to know your new little man.
Grub: Hoping that we will hear your good news in the next day or so. Good luck and I hope it all goes well for you.
Dusty: Congrats, it is so nice to see you made it back here. I'll make sure that I watch this thread to see how you are going as I am so happy for you.
Wow, it seems the blue thread is continuing in here after me and Murph breaking it up with some pink. It is up to Smithy and BDT to stop the blue overload, although Green may add some more, although I think you might continue with the blue theme.
I'm still reading up on how you are all going and a big congrats to all the new girls who arrived after my departure, I'm so happy to see you all here.
Can you believe it but Tara was 9 weeks old on Monday and is growing so fast, we get smiles all the time now and she is a real chatterbox as well. Off to have Santa photo's done today (start of the tradition), so hopefully we can make it with lots of smiles and fingers crossed no vomit (side effect from her immunisations) on either herself or Santa.
just a selfish ranty sort of post atm girls. Monitoring went well, bub is very good which i'm happy about but showing no signs of budging.
My hope getting in for an induction later this week was scuttled tho and all they can do is put me on a reserve list for Monday because the induction list is full of women who were due at or after xmas and wanted to have their bub before hand! wtf???
so while fluid levels are low and movments are low and i'm postdates, doc is happy to let me go through to monday and even then maybe later. right, okay... cept that means i get the joy of spending my xmas day alone in hospital cos we have parents here from sunday.
not only that, DH will spend the entire week running around between the hosp and home and the airport when he should be spending all his time with me and bub at the hospital. and then when we do get home, it'll be to a house full of people. no babymoon for us.
sorry i know this is completely unreasonable and i SHOULD just let bub come when he comes but that isn't how i feel. i feel sad and stressed and haven't been able to stop crying all afternoon. I just want my baby here and i want me and DH to have time to enjjoy him instead of havng this stressful time where there's people in my home, i'm not there and he's trying to 'do everything'.
and yep, i've given up hope of having him naturally on my own. suppose the past week of constant expectation has really undermined my confidence and i just feel liek everything else on this journey, my body won't do what it's supposed to and nothing ever goes the way we'd wish.
anyhoo, i'm sorry to bring the mood down. and i'm a sooo thankful that we are even at this stage so feel so stupid whinging specially when i think about the even more difficult journeys some girls here have had to get their BFP. and that makes me feel worse.
Oh grub - that's rubbish. I can't believe medical need doesn't bump emotional wants. I hope you get in soon and get that bub in your arms soon.
I'm not getting on very well with the hot weather today. I walked the dog early on and have spent the rest of the day inside, behind the blinds, under a fan. I slept for three hours at lunchtime, and have a mild pain in my belly. Because of Christmas, I've got to have my nuchal scan on the last possible dayfor testing, 4th jan. I was hoping we'd get in before, so we could tell a few people more at Christmas, but so be it. My maternity things arrived from the UK this morning, so I've spent all day folding and unfolding them Crazy bird.
Rant away! That's the whole idea of this forum! Really digging out all the labour vibes I can find and throwing them your way hun!
You need to go out there and have some curry washed down with rasperry leaf having sex whilst driving down a bumpy road Sorry bad joke but hoping it might cheer you up a little envisioning it!
Aaaaww Grub,Try and cheer up.Your body has done an AMAZING job carrying your beautiful bub.Dont be so hard on yourself.Your body is full of raging hormones and if bub isnt budging,its no wonder,you feel down but trust me.When he/she is out,you will be soooooo busy.Take this time to relax and its o.k for Hubby to take on the chores for the moment.Men are quite tough and resilient,and you need the rest right now because your carrying around another person.Dont feel guilty at all about him doing everything.Im sure he is happy to just have you,rest and take it easy at this time.
Its hard when you have expectations as to how and when you want things to happen,after all,the birth is all we think about and plan for most of our pregnancies.The birth of my son 12 years ago,was nothing,like i had planned,but in the end,he came out healthy,i had the support of my family around me and there were even a few times whilst he screamed with colic that i wished i could have "shoved' him back in.
Enjoy this time that you have.Put your feet up,relax and try and let your cares disappear.Your baby WILL be in your arms in no time.I hope you feel better.I know your stressed but it will all be fine.Lots of love,Alicia.
Grub: How infuriating for you, I would think that you would jump the queue seeing you are now carrying a fully cooked bubba. Hopefully things happen on there own for you so you can have your little boy home for Xmas.
Murph & Neptune: Love the photo's such blondies you both have and Neptune Adam looks like such a bruiser..
Here are some new photo's of Tara, have been trying so hard to get smiling photo's but everytime she sees the camera she gets all serious.... Login | Facebook
