Just think Greenslw, if someone asked you what you are doing next weekend, the answer is probably breastfeeding!!!! How cool is that!
I've just had an email from my Mum, she's booked her flights from Londona week after my due date. I'm so pleased. Although the statement "I've forgotten what you do with tiny babies" kinda worried me*, that's what she's coming for!!!! It'll be a year since I've seen her. Can't wait!!! I'd better not be late... or very early
*she has two grandchildren so no excuse!
Green~ I hope your day is very soon.Lets hope hubbys prediction is correct for today.Sending labour vibes.
londonmiss~thats great to hear that your mum will be visiting after the baby is born.Thats such a long time to not see your mum.I bet thats hard? My mum lives across the street from us and she still calls from work every day.Hubby hates it,always complaining.."she is across the road..get OFF the phone".We are very close.
Everyone else,have a great day!

we're the only ones propping up the telsta share price!! Ha ha no we use the internet alot and skype so it's not too bad, we speak at least twice a week and it drives my DH mad too! I shudder to think what it was like 50/100 years ago when it would have meant never seeing your family ever again - or even 30 years ago when a flight was about 2 months wages so you went back maximum every few years. They must have been so brave. Now all I need to do is organise my MIL .....

London Miss love your comment about next week and so happy your mum is on her way.that will make your baby experince so awsome, even if she only helps you by being company that is great
skype and MSN are great for overseas family, my phone bill is way less.
Wantababy DH isn't right yet
ATM snuck out to the shops today and OMG BH were huge I actually said a littleplease don't come right now. I made it home and was so tired I crawled back into bed and my phone didn't stop ringing! I keep it on cos DH worries if he can't reach me, so I only got another 20 mins or so. then DSS came home and is making a racket on his PC.
So just a small labor ?? does it start off uncomfortable or PAINFUL? Baby has been moving all morning and I'm getting loads of tightening but not alot of pain, just niggly, I think it's BH still but not sure. Feels different that before, but not doubled over pain.
Have a great day all

poppyfairy yay on the three hours sleep. I can imagine that any extra sleep is a bonus.
LondonMiss Woohoo on your mum being all booked in to join you and bub. Will be so great to have her around especially since you dont see her that often.
Greenslw thinking of you today and sending labour vibes (in case your DH is right

Oh yay Smithy, So not fair I am so jealous.
Green may labour with DS was very manageable in the beginning. I could move around, talk it didnt bother me at all. They were just regular contractions.
Registered User
Don't think I"m having contractions but regular BH. oh well not long now and with the work / baby thing out of my head now I feel sooooooo good.
Registered User
Oh how exciting for Smithy! I know (hope) she's not reading this as she pushes, but good luck anyway sweetie! That must make you next Greenslw?
Paula - the crazy dreams are something. I dreamt last night that one of my bridesmaids pulled out at the last minute (we've been married for years). And then we went away for the weekend and found an armed robber stood in my best friends' mothers' home of 20 years agos' vegetable plot.I'm going quite mad..............

** GO SMITHY!! GO CHARLIE!! ****
How exciting! Cannot wait to hear the news
Grnslw-=- I really do think your time is near.. All those slightly painfull BH being regular and all.. regardless of whether ur officially in labour or not... Id say labour is comeing in the next 48 hours... something just telling me
Loveing all the dreams girls! I havnt been dreaming so much the last few days because I havent been sleeping.. Poor DS woke up last night with a sore throat and tummy pains so i spent most of it calming him and the rest of it trying to ignore the rib kicks haha..
Hope you are all doing well! Belly rubs to all

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh, who do I leave it so long between posts that it takes an essay to catch up?! I'm in awe of you ladies who manage to stay on top of it all!
kyra - I know this is going back a bit, but good on you for going back to study, I think it's good you'll have something for yourself! And you reminded me I need to look into uni closing dates so thanks
saph - congrats on being an aunty again and not long now till you'll have your own little bundle in your arms, so exciting!!!
green - i'm planning a visit to Canada too, though we have to go this year for my BILs wedding! And you have got to stop going out in public by yourself or you're going to have this baby on the street
babydreamtime - hope you and the girls are going okay!
melbel - how are you looking with dates? Has it changed again? Hope you're not feeling too big and uncomfortable.
seph - yay for having a boy! It must be lovely to know. Our 20 week scan is in a couple of weeks and I think we've finally decided that we'll find out, though we're going to tell everyone else that we haven't cos I won't be able to keep it a secret if people know I know...!
grub - hope ashton has settled for you and you can get some more sleep!
mitf - have you had your midwife appointment yet???
paula - not long now till you can see your little one, how exciting!
wantbaby#2 - I wish I was craving all those good foods! Although I am eating them i'm also eating waaaaaaaaaay too much ice cream. At least it's calcium!!
londonmiss - i'm jealous of your tummy, I think I just look fat! And I don't know how you do without your mum, I talk to my mum several times a week and couldn't even contemplate having a baby without her living in the same city. Very brave of you, especially since you'll be in India!
smithy - hope you're holding your princess right now
Hope I haven't missed everyone, it's taken me about one hour to write this in between supervising DH cooking dinner and a very very slow computer.
To all you recent mums - hope you're having a blast!
AFM - I felt the Chicklet move for the first time this week so am very excited about that!! Finally starting to feel a bit more real, though I feel like my tummy has been the same size for ever and I really want it to grow! lol, remind me of that ladies when i'm complaining about being too big...!
Hope you're all going well, sending belly rubs to all.
love lise xx

Woohoo, go SMITHY and baby Charlie!! Can't wait to hear your news and praying all is ok.
Greenslw, Saph, hope your turn comes soon too. Greenslw, I am frustrated with not knowing if it is true labour or just BH also, but everyone is saying that if you have to ask 'is this it' then it isn't it. Though what about those that don't get any bad pains? I am confused.
Kyra, hope DS feels better soon
LM, crazy dreams, but hope you are getting some sleep
Hi to everyone else!
AFM, 35 weeks today, I feel like I am so stretched, belly feels huge, numb fingers, itchy skin, swollen feet, can't sleep, but not ready yet and feeling ok, I have been lunching with girl friends and resting lots, so happy we have a pool to cool off in and hoping to hang on another week at least. Here is my 35 week belly pic if you want a sticky beak. Yikes! Login | Facebook
Just hanging out for the scan next week to see what is next.
Big belly rubs to all xx

BDT- your belly is lovely. I dont believe there is two in there I am that big with only one. I have to laugh. When I went into labour with DS I rang the hospital to say I think I am in labour they asked me well are you or arent you. I practically yelled back I dont know thats why I am ringing you. I was and he was born at 6.40 that night. I have been having lots of period type craps like then but I cant tell whats what.
Hope you get to hold onto your girls for a bit longer. I am hoping that anytime after sat when I am 36 weeks. Even though I am booked in for a C section If I went into labour I would go natural. We are just trying to avoid a repeat of DS horrible birth.

Go Smithy & baby Charlie. Sending you positive birthing vibes..... I hope everything is going fantastically.
Babydreamtime - your baby belly is beautiful. I love the way you can see the change over the weeks. I haven’t taken any photo’s yet. Will have to get on to that.... Plus I love your nursery. It is very elegant with a chandelier and all!
Lise - I had my appointment this morning and it went well. We are happy with the decision we have made. Congrats on feeling chicklet move. I am sure your belly will grow in the coming weeks as our bubs will start to go through a big growth spurt about now.
LondonMiss - fantastic that your mum is all booked to visit. It is definitely a special time and great that you Mum can come share it with you.
Green - can't be long now. Good luck and fantastic news about DH's boss being so understanding. It will be nice for him to have a daddy day.
Poppyfairy - I hope the sleeping pattern continues to improve quickly.
AFM - I had an appointment with a new GP Monday who turned out to pretty good. She was a little expensive but at least I don't have to drive half way across town to where my old one has moved. We also had our first midwife appointment at the hospital today. Was pretty unexciting but it is a step and I feel like we are moving forward. We got to hear the heartbeat which is always reassuring. I also got my bounty bag… I thought it would be a little more exciting but their is still a couple of cool things in it.

Hi everyone. Hope you are all keeping well and those bellies are growing nice and big.
Thought I'd pop in and send the very best of luck to all of you who are just about ready to pop.. or possibly popping as I write (Go Smithy!) Pregnancy is a wonderful journey as your little one grows and it's even more amazing once they are here.
BDT, 35 weeks is an awesome effort with twins. My fingers are crossed you can keep your little girls in there for as long as possible. Thinking of you!
