wow exciting times for you LizJessie Quite possibly braxton hicks with the cramps. I had them excessively in the week prior to birth with both my girls. With my second it was 15 mins apart all night every night for a week then would stop during the day. Make the most of the time you have to rest up for the birth as well as finalising everything and good luck!!
Thanks Smallfryplus! I've been getting them very mildly throughout last week, but yesterday and today were the absoulte worst! I'm hoping it means things are underway (DH asked me to make it tomorrow because he doesn't wanna go to the sports carnival because he's got shot put duties - I told him I have no control over it!)
long time - no bellybelly! i have been away at my buddhist meditation 10 day retreat which was just awesome. anyway, enough about that........
CONGRATS TO ERYBERY & BABYMIRACLES AND YOUR LITTLE GIRLS!!!!!
FANTASTIC MASSIVE GREAT NEWS JOSH'SMUM!! I am so happy for you. I was thinking of you tuesday and have been deperate to get on line and see how you went. soooooo happy for you. sending you a big big hug!
afm - had my amnio this morning. it all went really well. it was a lot less dramatic then i thought. felt the local anasetic a bit but the amnio needle ect just felt like a little pressure. wasn't bad at all. dh is in perth for work so mum came with me. was great to see bubba with bones and everything else. they did an indepth scan and they were happy with all the stats and it has a nasal bone so that is a good sign too. coming up to the week end i may not get the results until monday but i'm not fussed. i am 100% that everything is ok. i haven't seen dh for 13 days now so i am sooo looking forward to seeing him late tomorrow night when he gets home. i'm staying with mum and resting up watching dvd's today and will take it easy tomorrow. have a big of niggling every now and then but nothing to complain about.
i hope everyone is going well. great to be back online. have missed you all!
So... I think I've hit nesting.. This is what I did:
Yesterday I did 3 loads of washing and the dishes, so that's when it started... Today I've done the following.
* Washed the dishes, and scoured the house for dishes TO wash
* Swept the floor in the kitchen
* Cleaned (as it roughly washed as I couldn't find the mop at the time) the kitchen floor
* Cleaned the kitchen cupboard doors
* Cleaned the kitchen benchtops after doing the dishes
* Brought in all 3 loads of washing in one go from yesterday and folded them all up (yet to put them away)
* Made up bubs bassinette in the bedroom, complete with waterproof sheet for under the sheet on the matress, the sheets and blanket.
* Went food shopping + put away all the food.
* In the process of putting the food away, I got sick of the state of the pantry that I re-arranged everything + threw out outdated stuff
* Wrote down what meal bases we had in the pantry
* Found a couple more cups around the house and put them in the sink to wash while making dinner
* In about 2 minutes I'll be getting up and making dinner (late, but that's how we like it!)
Finally sat down for about an hour, but been so restless.. I just wanna get up and do stuff!
*phew!*
My MIL says that she would not be surprised one bit if she hears something was going on tonight or tomorrow.. I kinda hope its tomorrow, but not getting my hopes up.
Have had the worst nights sleep out of the last three nights last night.. The pains were horrible, the cramps unbearable and I just couldn't sleep properly! I'm just hoping things are progressing, because I wouldn't want all these pains coming and going for no progress.
Hope all you ladies are well, sorry bout the selfish post
