Wow, I didn't realise how long its been since I've posted (of course I'm always lurking and thinking of you all).
WTH - Congratulations again on the birth of your prince! I am so happy he is finally in your arms and that you and he are doing well. Enjoy your babymoon.
zstar - Glad everything went well with the amnio and that your little boy is healthy.
LizJessie - If that's not nesting, I don't know what is! Wow! Can't be too far away now.
greenslw - I haven't heard about not hanging washing either. I hear you on the old lady noises - my joints always feel stiff after sitting down in the evenings, even if its only for a few minutes. Hope you enjoyed your pedicure.
erybery - Hopefully you and Ella will find your routine soon. I hope you're both well. Thanks for sharing your birth story.
chappas - 6 weeks already! Glad you and Daniel are doing well.
smallfryplus - Happy birthday to DD1 for the other day. Glad she enjoyed her day.
to everyone else
AFM - I spent a few days in Melbourne over the weekend. DH is turning 30 in a couple of weeks so I arranged for him to drive a V8 supercar while we were there. He LOVED it! After his drive, his instructor (who is a professional driver) drove him around for a few laps. I think DH was a little disappointed to learn what the car was capable of AFTER he'd already driven it We also did heaps of walking which was tiring, but it felt good to be active. DH (who is 6'4 with a long stride) had to learn pretty quickly to slow down for me as I can't walk at my usual brisk pace. I think I ended up having a nanna nap every afternoon so I'd have enough energy to get through the evenings.
Early last week, I was pretty sure I felt bubs drop. I mentioned it to my midwife at my appointment last wednesday and she confirmed that she is 2-3/5 engaged but its still early enough for her to move her head up and down yet. Phew! It took me by surprise and had me a little worried for a while there.
I didn't realise how much I needed the time off until I got home on Monday. I feel so much more relaxed about this pregnancy. Before leaving, I was so worried about going into labour early or something going wrong (especially with bubs dropping a few days before we left). I guess I thought that if something was going to happen, it would've been while I was interstate. Nothing happened and now I feel more able focus on getting all the work done that I need to before I finish next week.
Wow Hannah - cannot believe how close you are getting. That is so wonderful and glad you are feeling more relaxed.
LizJessie - any news yet? Have been checking in daily to see your news
WTH - glad you are going well with your little Prince - understand the sleep deprivation but it is so worth it isn't it - I am amazed how well I am functioning on so little sleep (mind you haven't done any house cleaning for three weeks - maybe this weekend?!)
zstar - glad the appointment went well and things are on track - that is good news
erybery - how is your little princess - has she been sleeping and settling a bit better? Hope you are getting some sleep yourself and are enjoying being a mum.
to smallfryplus, chappas (and Daniel), Megsmum (and Emma), Meredith (and your precious bundle), greenslw, starangel, and everyone else I have missed.
AFM: Molly going well - I have been a bit slow getting to understand all her cues - so have had some periods of her being very cranky and unsettled (which is distressing for me too as feel bad that I cannot work out how to make her feel better) - but last night we were totally in sync and had no crying. (up three times for feeds but very pleasant). Still cannot believe I now have a daughter and am a mum - feeling so so lucky.
babymiracles - So glad things are going well Molly sounds like Emma, no crying when I read the cues right too! And up 2 to 3 times a night for a feed - happy to do it though
Hannah - You are getting so close now! Enjoy finishing up work!
Big congrats LizJessie on the arrival of your little man and WTH again too of course Will be in touch with you soon....
Hi everyone else, hope you are all doing well. Not much to report here, Emma is doing great, cracked the 5 kg mark last week - she is getting so heavy now! And smiling heaps too
Smallfryplus 4kms from home, that's not fair! although I'm only 10 but have so many meetings in town I do 500-1000kms a week Hope MIL visit went well
EryBery so good that things did work out
WTH love to hear you are still happy on no sleep. there is hope for me too.
HannahD i hope DH loves his gift, my DP would love love love it. Wow you felt bubs drop. That would have been different.
babymiracles glad all is going well with Molly Rose
ATM so tired. I'm at work and just want to go home, I have a friends birthday tonight and I don't really want to go. I want sleep.
My peddie was wonderful and I had a bit of a slack week. I got a teaching job for next year which is good and I'm feeling less freaked out re money.
Next week is going to be nutz. I have a meeting every day and will be run off my feet. I guess I need to take the time off when I can.
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Anyone out there???
WOW, it sure is quiet in here. Hope it is because all you mummies-to-be be are taking things super easy and putting your feet up (or perhaps the nesting urge is really kicking in for some of you LOL).
Greenslw - hope you survived your nutty week and are able to catch up on some much needed Zzzz
Megsmum - "hi" and "hugs" heading your way, cyber sista
Babymiracles - yep, I also have the housework on the backburner. I am very lucky that DH is being incredibly helpful with DD - he's taking a decent break from work while I recover (slower than I would like to) from my CS. Well-done on the settled, cry-free night - can't wait to have one LOL
Hannah - so have you finished work now? If so - YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE Sounds like Melbourne was a great break. Enjoy the final weeks of your PG. Are you walking like a penguin yet, now that you have dropped ???
Erybery - 17 hours - EEEEK! Our little one seems to have developed colic (which we also had at this stage with DD), but we have not managed a marathon quite that long. Hope things have settled a bit more for you. If you have any magic remedies - do share!
Smallfryplus - Bruised biceps? That must have been one intense massage!
Chappas - how's it all going with your little man? Hope you are getting lots of gorgeous smiles
Zstar - great to read your ob appointment went well and that you are able to get back to normal activity (and finally enjoy the rest of your pregnancy)
Meredith - HOW YOU DOING??? X
to everyone else
AFM - DS is doing fine, though he is pretty restless and quite the guzzleguts LOL. BF is much easier second-time around, at least. He's calling for me now so catch up soon!
I have been lurking around but not much posting going on here. everyone must be busy. i am going great. have our morphology scan on friday so looking forward to seeing the bub again. i am loving having a tummy. i have only put on 3.5 kgs so far so i'm happy with that. dh and i have really cut sugar out of our diet and i'm excercising 6 days a week so that is good. take care!
Hi all, sorry been missing in action, just soooo busy running after Ella! feeding every 3 hours realy doesnt leave much time after feeding, settling, trying to get her to sleep!
Things have improved for us. She has been put on zantac to help with reflux so is starting to settle and sleep much better, and thank goodness there hasn't been a repeat of the 17 hour screamathon!
We have a hip ultrasound on Friday to see if she has hip dysplaysia? hopefully not because I'd hate for her to have to wear a brace over the summer months!
Z-star - You will love the morphology scan, it takes agaes so you get a really good view. We got to take home a DVD of ours which will be cool to show Ella when she is older.
WTH - I hear you on the guzzleguts, Ella has put on 280grams in 1 week!
Greenslw - Woohoo your in the last trimester hun!
To everyone else big hugs and Belly rubs for those who are still baking their little ones. xox
I am so happy he is finally in your arms and that you and he are doing well. Enjoy your babymoon.
