Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - Dec 2007

[sazzafrazz]

Hi Chickies,
Not so grumpy here today Had GP appt. Due tomorrow but not engaged. He said not to worry as some dont until labour is established and I could still go tonight! The whole town it seems, are hanging out for this babe, even ppl I didnt think would be interested are telling DH they are excited and looking forward to hearing the news. It is lovely sometimes, living in a small town. My/DH boss asked him today if I had gone in yet, as though due date is THE date, and when told no she was like "Oh so it is gonna be a late one" and yesterday when I saw her she was banging on again about how I should put my feet up and rest cause it will be my last chance, blah, blah, blah. She tells me everytime, like I will never, for the rest of my life, have a quiet moment again. Sounds great...NOT. It annoys me how some ppl cant say anything positive sometimes.
I am getting desperate for things to wear now and have no clothes packed for hospital as I need them now... will have to throw whatever is clean in at the time I guess. Did pull out a top that I didnt realise still fits today so that was a bonus, like getting something new.
Kimbe, hope the scan was great. It is funny when you cant see the whole baby on the screen by now as they are so big! Hope your secret is safe for the two of you!!!
Nic, I am so glad you have a good ob. He sounds really considerate, and not just doing the C cause you have had a past one. It is dissapointing I guess but the good news is you know exactly when bub will be born!
Marcellus, Nice that your dad is making the change table. Dont worry too much about rushing to finish the nursery, as long as you have a bed for the baby, a car seat and a pair of boobs, I'm pretty sure he/she will be happy. We spent heaps of time thinking about what pram to get and ended up getting a steelcraft. Got the features we wanted and didnt cost the earth. Most important thing for us was fitting it in the boot of our hatchback! Have fun shopping.
Lis, We know what you mean about everyone making the same comments! They are slowly driving me insane I guess ppl want to say something but dont know what? Just slap them, you have horomones in your system to justify it!! lol
Panda, I hear you on being heavy and sore downstairs. Not a lot of fun anymore... I console myself by thinking at least my body is doing all that it can to make delivery easier. Still hurts though... and moving with any kind of grace hasnt happened here for several months hehehe.

Hi to all I have missed. Pregnant brain today. This kid is gonna be smart I reckon cause he/she has sucked all the smart outa me! Pitty she/he hasnt sucked all the fat out too... Oh well.
Maybe catch you tomorrow???

ETA: Kimbe, good to hear you are happy with the scan. It is a bit daunting knowing the head size but they tell us the head can squish up a bit with the soft bones so it isnt so big to fit!!! Sounds good in theory

Hi Sazz, I too get a little frustrated about people never having positive things to say about their kids??I always get the ?something to look forward to?, forget about you body getting back to normal, forget about romance?..blah blah blah?..Let me live my life and I will make up my own mind without your influence.
And I too wish the baby sucked a lot more fat from me??so over being a dumb?.brain is all mush. OHHHH ? start stimulating your nipples, apparently that can help to bring on labor, and if you like Indian, get some tonight, finish of the evening by having intercourse?One of my girlfriends sister did it 3 times in one night, put her legs up after each round?she started contracting the next day, later that night she had her baby. I think she was in labor 6 hours (first baby)


Kimbe, yay on a good scan, and that you got your confirmation?.its a girl yay?.

Marcellus, take your time with the nursery, especially if you are finishing up a few weeks prior to the due date?.and how good is it that your dad is making you a change table.

Lismith, great that you are doing ok, love hearing the heart beat.

Talk soon ladies.
