so happy to see you here hun ive been thinking of you heaps and waiting for your next blog so its really nice to hear from you and im so happy for you hun.
oh and thanks for the new thread.
Smithy - I am just holding in there. Really nothing will help until after bub is born and I do some serious rehab. Even though we are a just over a week apart we may go at the same time, I am as the plan stands being induced at 37 weeks. So just over 5 weeks to go. I think my plan is the 2nd of feb. I am 37 weeks on the sat, Monday is Campbells first day at kindy so will wait to the Tuesday. This is as long as all is well at my 34 week scan otherwise he may have to come then, not quite sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

oh saph i just cant wait were gonna be so close hunny and i luv that lol...
boc thank you hun for the list again gee im so glad its you who does it as thats one hell list now AND ITS SO GOOD TO SEE so many of my old friends are coming in here now..... oh im proud
Hello all. Hope you are all well. I'm glad I'm moving up that list! Just popped on to say that we're away for Christmas now, I can't wait... so I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, have a lovely time if you already have your bubs, and I hope the rest of us don't get too much heartburn/ sickness/ back pain/ pelvic pain to stop us enjoying the whole thing. I'm looking forward to a glass of Shiraz on Christmas day.
Hope everyone is enjoying the season! We celebrate Winter Solstice so we have had our little shindig already. We usually have a bonfire of our yule log but couldn't find one this year as there are no woods close by and I haven't been able to walk very far. We compensated by decorating the house in evergreen branches of fir and holly and bits of ivy. I made a plum pudding a month ago which has been soaking in brandy, we had nut roast, DH's now famous trifle and our own home brewed elderberry wine. My brother is escaping the stepmother by coming here for Christmas day so we will do it all again for him! We have a strict no presents rule but I am apparently getting a little package of MCNs from him so I am excited. As I rarely see him as he lives in London and they are for the baby it doesn't count as a present!!! I just hope he can still get here with all this snow that is disrupting traffic. Apparently people spent the night in their cars trapped last night in the snow. The whole country seems to be affected but we have only had a small flurry. If we do get it and it happens when the baby is coming looks like I will be going to hospital in a helicopter!!! LOL!
Well Greenslw, it looks like it is you and me next! Race you!!!!!
BOC - look after yourself and get monitored carefully with that!
Seachange - Welcome!!
Sorry not many persies as I have to run, sorry waddle, to the acupuncturists ( roads and paths are very icy so quite treacherous!)
hi girls. i have 20 mins til my next feed/express session and haven't had time to read all the posts properly.
but wanted to jump on and let you now i've been thinking of you all. and welcome Seachange on this amazing journey! good luck love!!!
Boc and smithy - i hope you are both well and Poppyfairy - nearly time love!
i'll try and post a link but it's highly likely it won't work. otherwise i'll see if i can put a pic on the BB album.
anyhoo - all is well. Yes its ASHTON not asthon.. if i wrote it backward lol whoops! tired eyes would be to blame. We are still having latching issues with the BF. he's been on a few times but now i'm home i can't get him on myself. But i'm still trying and we are seeing a lactation consultant... it's just hard with christmas. But i'm trying to get my supply going now so am expressing every 2 hrs.
well best go i've still got to sort out the bottles and pump i've just sterilised. yawn.
Despite the hours and the trouble i'm having getting BF going - i'm loving being a mum. it's too much fun.. and these babies, they are hilarous with their little faces and cries and expressions. DH and I keep laughing at Ashton when he cries, he gets a little quivering bottom lip lol.
thinking of you all will be back in soon (i hope) ox
Welcome to the world of mummy Grub and so happy you are home for Xmas. I hope the b/fing comes along for you and that the lactation consultant can help get Ashton all sorted to know what he is suppose to do. Don't you just love the expressing, I found it took ages and ages and for me still didn't get my supply up (it was all gone by the time Tara was 3 weeks).
Poppy: Take care with the weather over there at the moment. Hopefully it is a brief bad spell and will be all gone by the time you need to get to hossy.
Big Xmas belly rubs to you all and to all the new first time mum's, enjoy this first special Xmas with your special bundles. We are so excited that Santa is coming to our house.. and to all our mum's still cooking beautiful bub's before you know it they will be here and you will have all the joys next Xmas.
Seachange~ Welcome and a big Congratulations on your pregnancy!! Woo Hoo.I am 8 weeks today and due on Aug 4 so we are heading on this journey together.How exciting.
Boc~ You missed my name on the list I am a 2010 mummy too.My bub is due Aug 4 and have nicknamed him Bub...HOW ORIGINAL AM I ?? LOL
Grub....aaaawwww he sounds adorable....with the quivering lip.I can imagine it now.So sweet.I had lots of trouble bf my son and gave up 2 weeks later.I ended up with severe mastitis so i had too and he wasnt getting enough anyway so we went to bottles.I think it was so hard but im sure you will get there.I was in too much pain. I plan on bf this bub as 12 years has made me more determined to do things better.I had Connor when i was only 19 so everything seemed so much scarier and more difficult.I didnt have the patience then,that i have now. Best of luck.Im so glad your are loving all of the special moments.I cant wait to experience mine.
Ummmmm, is it wrong that I want to have a nap at 9am? Cant believe how tired i am getting. I have breakfast then i want to sleep! I would go for a walk or something but the pelvic pain has put a stop to that
anyway, just wanted to check in and say hi while i have the chance.
