Green I to have been having regular cramps but no labour. Every night for a few hours about 10mins apart. Will talk to my ob about them on weds as she does not want me to go into labour. (I secretely am hoping to in the next week so I dont have to have the CS) Good luck hope it starts soon.
Oh I had my brother and SIL here today with the new baby. Lots of snuggles.OMG my DH is so clucky. He just wanted to steal him. 2 weeks darl and you will have your very own. I will remind him at 2am about this.
Arghh, will have to go back to the old thread to see where everyone is up to.
Smithy, the biggest congratulations on the birth of baby Charlie, I hope you are both doing well.
Ella's Mum, congratulations to you too, I hope all is well, will have to read back over the last thread.
Greenslw, I hope you have news too!
Saph, not long to go either!
Hi to everyone else. I am just baking baking baking. I see my OB tomorrow and scan on Thur morning to see how the girls are doing and will know what the plan is then. I have to say that I am really feeling it, feel supersized with my belly, now it is so big I can't even sleep on my side, so spending most nights on the lounge propped sitting up. And this all over 24 itching is doing my head in, there is just no relief, except swims in the pool to cool down at 2 am and 4 am in the morning lol. I am wavering between wanting them out to and hoping I can hold on so they can put on a little more weight. At least the end is in sight.
By the way, I totally loved loved loved all the beautiful belly photo links, thanks girls for posting them, it is so nice to see what you all look like IRL.
Smithy, I just caught up, I love your pics and the video is just gorgeous, baby Charlie is beautiful, hope you are keeping well and look forward to hearing your birth story, xxxx
Smithy, I had withdrawals after seeing your beautiful photos. Such an amazing time. After I'd sworn off having any more, I was told to leave it 2 years and I would change my mind. Make that 2 months!! DH and I have already started talking about the pros and cons and going back to see an obstetrition and see what happenend with Jazzy's development and whether I can even carry again. I was told all sorts of wierd comments like my uterus was the wrong shape, my placenta was too thin and again with this comment "have you ever had an abortion?" I was asked that about 10 years ago when I had my first laperoscopy so now I am getting a bit suss. I havent had any kind of surgery other than the laps etc, and c/s. Why do doctors make such throwaway comments and then tell you nothing?
I'm not game enough to look at your birth video yet as I didn't go through the whole experience and it kinda scares me. Plus DH is in bed and it will freak him out if there's labour room noise coming from our loungeroom I'll have a look in the light of day. thanks so much for sharing those labour room photos. now I think I may paste the first one of Jazz for you. DH says the look on her face in those first hours will be etched into his memory for the rest of his life. I can't believe that I never thought for a second that she was gross or ugly. I was prepared to think that, but oh my god, does love get any stronger? I can see it in yours and Coop's eyes too. Congratulations and enjoy. Lots more photo updates
Hi ladies well he's here I have a BOY Lincoln Gregory Stan was born 7.09pm on Monday 9lb3oz 54cm long (so much for average hay) He is growing heaps and put on a weeks worth of weight in two days.
I'm a little fragile I tried to brest feed and it's not working, pumping is so hard and I've come to the conclusion I'd rather spend the time with my little man than on a machine. Home from Hosp today. DH has next week of which is great. I really can't wait to settle into a ruitine.
Yeah! Many many congratulations on the birth of your baby boy! I hope you and DH are well and that your long baby is plumping up nicely So pleased to hear your DH has a week off, hope he's looking after you. Congratulations again x
Congratulations Greenie!!! on the arrival of (not so) little Lincoln!!!!
Hope you, DH & DSS are enjoying your babymoon!
Man, must be something in the water last April/May, of people I know there's been 8 new arrivals in the past week-and-a-half! My cousin (that I think I mentioned before) gave birth yesterday to the first baby girl in our family for over 20 years! So exciting. This next 9 weeks are going to be excruciating, I WANT MY COOKIE NOW!!!!!
Oh and Smithy, you've gone and done it now woman! I'm a blubbering mess after that absolutely beautiful and touching video! (and I'm not a cryer either). You've cracked the ice queen!
I guess I really should update the EDD list, finding it hard to keep up will post it shortly.
Congratulations Greenslw on the arrival of Lincoln. Hope you are settling in at home and enjoying your babymoon... see you when you feel ready in the parenting thread.
Janie and Jasmine xxx
P.S. Just read your note Nic - Hehehe - you just never know!
Ok so here 'tis! No doubt I will be updating again in the next week for the lovely Saph & BDT!
As per usual, if I have missed someone, I am so sorry, please let me know! Paula, for some reason I don't have you here, could you please give me your details?
Oh holy cr@p!!! I'm nearly up the top!!!
No rush just yet but just something for you girls to think about, someone will need to take over from me when the time comes... any takers??? It doesn't take a lot, just copy & paste but you have to manually edit the colours, but the whole thing only takes 5-15mins, depending on how many changes there are, and how much your computer likes to "play nice"

Congratulations Green on the birth of your son Lincoln.We have all been IMpatiently waiting for your good news
What a big boy.(He isnt a giant but i really wanted to add a jawdrop for fun)I hope the breast feeding works out.Its hard work but im sure you will get there.
Please take time to recoup and enjoy your little man,and when you have time,please post some pics.
Yay Green, congrats on the arrival of the new man in your life. I'm so happy he arrived safely for you and DH, but you didn't add to the pink theme as you thought you would. Looking forward to seeing you in the parents thread soon.
BDT: Wow, your beautiful princesses will be here so soon. I can't wait and am looking forward to the news.
Saph: Looks like your next, hope your little boy gets back in gear for you.
BOC: I think you are the last on the list who joined up while I was still in here cooking my beautiful Tara. So scary to think that your time will be here soon as well.
Smithy: Why aren't you with us in the parents thread yet, I'm demanding you join us as Murph and Grub are back to their old tricks and we need you to add your 2 cents worth now as well. Plus it is so much fun now that we are all "mummies" together after being "mummies to be" together. Also, you made me cry with the beautiful movie you made, I even jumped onto Itunes straight away and bought the song "In my Daughters eyes" it was so moving and as Tara was laying in bed with me at the time I felt I just needed to have it to share with her as well.
