Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - Dec 2007

[sazzafrazz]

Hi everyone,
No action here still. Went to Adelaide at 2.30am yesterday with DH in the truck (produce market run for work, home by 10am) hoping the bumpy ride would shake this baby out of me but no luck. Just made me super tired and a sore back. Oh well. I am on the raspberry leaf tablets now and am also taking Evening primrose oil capsules too to try to move things along but not brave enough to do the alternative "inserting" them at night yet. Maybe tonight? Have had lots of phone calls from ppl "checking up" on me. Some are really nice, some just plain annoying LOL.
Marcellus, I know what you mean about the classes. We had a series of 8 and approx 3 were about pain really! Well, what to expect and how to deal with it. I wish we had alternative classes here like the one you did or hypnobirthing or something rather than just the medical style ones. I did find it really helpful in some respects though. I was amazed by how little some ppl know already. It seems the classes were really beneficial to them, I guess that is the whole point!
Glad to hear your bubs are coming along so well KT. It is exciting stuff planning the nursery and the arrival. Are you getting 2 of many things or how will you arrange things? Interesting!Have fun shopping. I can understand wanting to be organised early, not just because they will probably come early but because you will be bigger and uncomfortable earlier than the rest of us too!
Going to be 41C here (AGAIN!!) so off to put the aircon already I think. Looking forward to tommorrow, should be under 30C I hope.
Maybe I will catch you then?

Hey Sazz, I saw a post on here somewhere about a study into taking EPO orally that said it was ineffective. Dunno about using it 'down there'. Can you reach? I think i'd have to get DH to help.
All the best - it won't be long now. My mum was talking about how I'd be wanting to jump off the roof and stuff if I go post-dates.... not so sure about that!

You're right Ltl Panda, I'm sure there will be useful stuff to learn. And about the blokes too - all he knows is from the course we did already and what I've told him. I guess we are a bit more motivated to find stuff out I am looking forward to the breastfeeding bit too. Having seen a breast crawl video on utube I'm very keen to give that a go - will have to ask about feasibility of that in class.

Catch you all later

Sazz just try and get as much rest while you can and enjoy every moment of these days leading up to the arrival of bugalugs. Good on you for cooking all those meals too. I didn't have time to do that so had to rely on MIL to cook for us the first few days we were home
Anyway sending you heaps of l.v's and am looking forward to seeing you b/a soon.
Take care

Ktgirl wow hun look at your ticker flying by. How exciting for you and DH buying some furniture for the nursery. Its never too early to start preparing for the arrival of your precious babies.

Nic I hope all goes really well for you planned c/s. I had Sage via c/s and have to say it really wasn't too bad and would elect to have another for bub #2 one day. I didn't have any choice in the delivery but am soooo pleased about that as if I'd had a single contraction Sage wouldn't be here with us today.
It really doesn't matter what type of delivery you have as long as you and bub are here safe and well.
Take care hun and I'm sure everything will work out just fine for you.

Ltl Panda maybe you could tell your visitors to bring a plate of finger food when they come to see you so that way you won't be pressured into feeding them as after all you are the one with a brand new baby and the last thing you will want to do is prepare food for guests.

Sage and I are doing ok. I have had mastitis for the last couple of weeks so I'm trying to get through that atm. I didn't think anything could be so painful.
Sage is growing so fast too. He's 11 weeks old now. We had him weighed yesterday and he's now 8lb 8oz. He has been rolling over from his tummy to his back for the last 3 weeks (such a clever little monkey) and he's been smiling for a few weeks now too. He slept for 7 hours straight last night which is the longest he's slept for which was great. He normally sleeps between 2 and 4 hours at a time.

Hi to everyone I've missed.Hope you are all doing really well and I'll try and catch up with you all soon.
