Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - Jan 2008

[mako]

Kimbe Good on you for starting to get your bags ready. I had most things packed but went into a bit of a panic when the dr told me at 36 and a half weeks that I needed to go from her rooms striaght to delivery suite and I wasn't allowed to go home at that stage. My bag was only really half packed and it was at home and not in the car where it should have been along with my medical chart(whoops) Anyway I was allowed to go home for the night and madly rushed around packing and repacking my things lol.

Monnie How was your 1st day back at work? I'm in the same boat as you as I am going back next Wednesday. I'll only be working Wed,Thurs and Friday mornings so hopefully it won't be too bad. At this stage I'm not really looking forward to it but I'm sure I'll be ok once I'm there.

Jo Bubbies are so cute when they smile hey? I be Jenna is keeping you on your toes too How is her sleeping going? Sage is a bit all over the place. Like last night he went to bed at 8pm and he woke at 11.30pm. He went back to bed after a feed and nappy change and woke at 2 again at 3.30 and 5am and then at 6.45. He had a feed and nappy change at each of these times. I felt like I was up ALL night Thank goodness this doesn't happen quite as often these days. He usually wakes around 2ish and then around 6ish.

Hi to Marcellus, Ktgirl, Lttl Panda,Nic,Lismith,Lenny, Traceylee, Satya and anyone I've missed.

Monnie - what a bugger you wont be around much, I so look forward to hearing about your little Felix.

I hope being back at work isn't too stressful for you, I bet you miss bubby.

Dh told me before we had Jenna that I would go back to work at around 6 months but now that she's here he doesn't want me to go back so hopefully we can afford for me not to.
We are managing on the one wage for now so fingers crossed.

Mako - you poor thing being up all night, could Sage be starting to teeth?
Jenna is starting to show signs of teething which I thought at first was impossible but I can see the start of the teeth at the bottom & the last few days I can actually feel the start of them.
She has been chewing on her dummy & drooling heaps as well so we could soon be in for a few restless nights.

The last week and half Jenna has been going to bed around 8.45 - 9.00 & waking at 1.30 - 2.00 & that is fantastic in itself but then she's been going back to bed straight after feed & then sleeping at least another 2.5 - 3 hours.
The bottle is magic, although I am still glad that I b/feed for the first 9 weeks.

Kimbe - glad your getting organised, sometimes these bubbies just don't wanna wait.

Jo - 28 (treated endo)
Dh - 34

Jo Sage usually has a similar sleeping pattern to Jenna.Its just the odd night that he's more unsettled. I think Sage may also be teething but its a little difficult to tell as he was born with little white "stumps" in his top and bottom gums.

I had Sage weighed today (he's 13 weeks today) and he is 4.23kg. He's still wearing size 0000 clothes too lol.Dh keeps telling me that Sage needs a hair cut lol. His hair is quite long at the back ie longer than the collar of his clothes and is spikey on the top and sides. It would be a good 2 inches long on the top lol. Just way too cute

Lucky you not having to go back to work. Dh is applying for a new job so hopefully he'll get it and I won't "have" to work.I'll probably still work 1 or 2 days just to give both Sage and I a little space iykwim.

Oh yeh you did a great job bfing. Sage has a bottle of formula occasionally. Will be more frequent when I'm working as I don't know if I'll be able to express enough each day.I'm ok with him having it but I'm still enjoying bf even with the little probs along the way.

Take Care

Mako and Sage

Thanks for pointing the Sazz's BA out to us BG..., i'm useless and would never have found it!

Yay Sazz - I'm super happy for you guys!

Ltl Panda - you're next, and it's so cool to hear that you are really looking forward to it - i hope i will be too when i'm that close.

Have GTT this week and then I get to have another scan next week which i am really really looking forward to. It's been such along time since the 18 week scan.

I guess you'll all understand when i say that i'm tired and although i read BB a lot...I seem to post a bit less. Hopefully I can get a bit of energy back soon

Hope everyone is well and happy.

Jo
