possum - a sweet potato, hahah! i crack up every week at your ticker!!
arghhh my tummy is sooo itchy!! i feel like a bit of a slob atm.. oh well!!
forhelby - sorry to hear you are not well, hope you make a speedy recovery! love the name too, its fantastic!
too tired for more persies, dh and i went to bed at 1230 and spent the next hour or so chatting about whats been going on lately, it was nice but now im buggared!
h everyone else hopw youre all well xxxx
Tegam-No we have had all the visitor's over the week so this weekend is just our family thank god so little miss gets to sleep in her bed and use to the quiet room during the day insted of being passed around she is such a good sleeper already i put her down in her cradle when she is grissly and tired pop her dummy in and she goes off to sleep.
How is your family going and little molly i bet your busy with all the little ones.
Jenna-not to much longer and you will have you bub in your arms.
looking forward to your BA.
thanks for the update on forshelby i hope she gets better soon
I am doing okay i think that Honor is having issues with the formula but weird the hair dryer calms her and puts her to sleep
Angel - no, most babies love those sort of white noises. Hannah used to like the vacuum but now? She won't tolerate it and just screams....
Ionna - 40 weeks yay! Thinking of you.
Jenna - GL with your monitoring tomorrow.
Ferrals - good that oyu got some family time. One week old already!
TegamM - yay for Molly.
Tegam thats just gorgeous little Molly's reaction to her mummy. How cute. Can't wait to experience that again.
Forshelby hope your recovering well and things are going from strength to strength.
JJ I hope labour starts on its own before Wednesday and if not the ARM kicks everything into gear and you have a lovely delivery.
Ferrals Ella is just divine. Love your ticker. And over a wek already. Gee thats hasn't gone slow (for me anyway)
Well hello to everyone else. I can't sleep, feel like I'm going to spew but its nothing exciting as its been going on for ages now. Hope this bub wants to make an entrance soon. I know it doesn't matter if she doesn't but I'm starting to really hope it just happens. I have an Ob appointment on Tuesday. Expect him to feel, listen and say come back in a week. I guess I'll find out if I have GBS and need ab's/ Hopefully not so I can stay at home a while during labour.
Arrr so tired but can't sleep. I've alrady folded the clothes (at 3am) and cleaned out 2 cupboards. Wish it was nesting but nope its not.
Mildez...i wish it was nesting too for you but sadly i think its just cleaning after you have had your first hehe! I hope the OB says you are 4cms :) YAY to the cloth, trying to decide at the moment if im going to do cloth again with Molly or just stick with the huggies. DD1 was 99% cloth DD2 was 80% DS was 55%....you see where this is headed! Haha at the week going slowly for you, I bet it has flown for Ferrals. I have a girlfriend who is 36weeks and while we were both pregnant her pregnancy seemed to fly, now i saw her the other day and i asked her how far she was and she said 34weeks, i said "OMG thats going so slow!" she cried she was so happy someone was sympathetic to her! Everyone else thinks its so close but like you she is so close but also so far!
Jenna: How are you?
:hello: ella and ferrals!
Dory you make me smile whenever i read TegamM!
My baby is 3months old tomorrow!!!!!..................................tim e for another one????:redface:
Lol Tegam. I think of having another already and shall I do both AF/BF so AF returns so I might get some fertility back and I'm yet to have this bub. Its on my mind on and off but. Its not on the cards but its also a possibility. I'd love siblings close in age. Our 18month-2yr gap has turned into over 2yrs.
Meant to get back on and update earlier, but forgot.
Nothing is happening here, had 3 mild contractions while on the CTG this morning, and the 4th in an hour started just as they turned it off. Haven't had many since and they're still not regular. Just waiting until wednesday now as I don't think she's going to come on her own.
Had a few very scary seconds 3/4's of the way through the monitoring where she made some really odd jerky movements and her heartrate suddenly dropped right down to 72bpm, thank god she fixed herself up really quickly though. The midwife thinks she was playing with the cord and pinched it too tight, so I just have to keep an eye on her movements for the rest of the day to make sure everything is alright. So far everything is going normal and she's being her usual wriggly self and sticking her foot up under my ribs.
*TMI* Threw up all my breakfast this morning, so that's 3 out of the last 4 days that that has happened... still feeling queasy and finding it hard to eat, but forcing myself to eat regularly so my sugar levels don't go too low.
Went for a 1km walk down to the shopping center earlier, turned into almost a 2km walk all up including walking around the center and then the 600+ meters from the bus stop I got off at on the the way home. My BGL's were down at 3.6 just before I left home, so I quickly gobbled a couple of jelly beans and then headed off and spoilt myself with a cup of coffee and a double choc chip cookie from subway lol was bliss!
And I'm going to have to invest in a chalk board for DS... I forgot to put the bucket of chalk back up on top of the wardrobe when I got home, and put DS into his room to go to sleep... 2 hours later I walked in there and he was bouncing on his bed and hadn't had a sleep and there was chalk squiggles on the walls near the door and on his 2 toy boxes and on the carpet! And chalk spilt all over the floor as well! I think I got it all cleaned up, but will have to ask hubby to double check tomorrow morning.
Think I'd better go and get some dinner organised for when DS decides to wake up, he didn't go down until almost 6:30, so it will be a while yet until he wakes up (I hope!) but better to have it ready to go now so that I can get him fed quickly so he can have another play before going to bed again.
I do wish things would hurry up and get a move on though so that I can send DS off to his nanna's place and have hubby to myself for a few hours or so before heading to hospy.
Hi girls!!
Ferrals - I have to start by saying how beautiful baby Ella is!! What a gorgeous cutie pie!! Glad you got some nice family time over the w/end! How are your boys with her?? They must idolise her already!
Tegam - lol at thinking about another.... i have a very big feeling i will be just the same!! hehehe! Molly - 3mths tomorrow! OMG!! I cant beleive how quick that has gone! Wow!! Happy 3mth Bday tomorrow baby girl!!
Jenna - wow you were a busy girl today!!! Thats outta get things movin for ya!!!
Mildez - NOthing worse than not being able to sleep! Soo frustrating!! I hope tonight is better for you!!! Have you finished work yet??
Dory - how are you and HB? Did you find a nice BF outfit?!
Possum - hello! 4D scan was good but unfortunatly bub was face first in my placenta so didnt get and pics that were that much better than last time! BUt bub is so chubby now! Couldnt believe its cheeks and arms! Too cute!!!! HOw u feeling?? YOur cruising alomng nicely now! look at that ticker scootch along!
Hi to everyone else i have missed, hope you and your bubs are well!!
AFM - going well here except i have been having an extremely painful sharp pain on my low lefty side, like below my undie line... so sharp had me in tears yesterday! Is this round ligament pain?? Bub is moving around like normal so that good! I have a scan tomorrow morning to check my kidneys and bubs size so i will get there opinion too i guess!?
I spent that day washing all bubs clothes yesterday! Aww my clothes horse looks soooooo cute!!! Im already packing them in my hospital bag!! Im so excited! How many jumpsuits will i need in hospital!?! And Size 0000 or 000??? Oh im confused!!!
Tegam: I really can't believe Molly is 3mths already! And you are right: my pg doesn't feel like it's flying for me but i felt really cheered up when you said it feels fast for you: it made me think that it's not going as slow as i think! It also reminded me of all the pg ladies whose tickers i have watched move along and before you know it they are holding their babies. It made me more optimistic that i'll get to the end too!
Alish: Thanks, i'm enjoying my ticker too! I like it when it comes up with a fruit or veg that sounds like a cute nickname eg 'my little plum', 'my little sweet potato'. I just wrinkle my nose and move on when it's something non-cute like an onion! (My east favourite was the prune near the beginning!) I can't believe how far along you are too!
Oh Jenna, I feel sorry you've had such a drawn out niggly pre-labour. It must be keeping you on the edge of your seat. I'm glad you'll be moving along by Wednesday and get to meet your little one. Looking foward to your BA!
T-Hopes: I remember my confusion about baby clothes before i had DD : ) If you have an average size baby (as my DD was) you'll need 0000 for about 3- 4wks. I found that the 000 just swam on her until then. If you have a 10pounder (hope not for your sake!) you can go just about go straight to 000!
Mildez: you know you are at the business end of things when you can't sleep and you're cleaning out the cupboards in the middle of the night! Poor you with the spewy feelings too : ( I hope your little miss arrives early as hoped.
India's mum: How did it go telling your DD? Mine is getting into the idea of us having a baby. She got into bed with us this morning and patted my tummy. She said "I'm being gentle to the baby...the baby asked for a pat." She also asked where the baby was going to sleep and offered to share her bed!
Hi everyone else i missed...
AFM: I've really popped in the last two weeks. I'm suddenly very pregnant looking. Did i mention that already? (Baby brain i can't remember). I'm a bit embarrassed actually. Am i too fat for an 18 weeker?? (Not that i've gained that much weight... i don't think. i'm only 1.5kg heavier than pre-baby weight). I was never embarrassed about my tummy with DD. I love the pg look generally. Not sure why it feels funny this time. I think i'm still scared to tempt fate by acting like i'm having a baby. Maybe also it's because (in the same mindset) i haven't announced my pg widely at work: i just told 3 or 4 key people and am letting my body announce the rest!
Sleep arrr I almost forget what thats like. I was thinking I was in early labour but I think its now fizzled out. I'm so so tired so I'll be going back to bed in a moment. I'd clean the house if there were not 3 people sleeping at the moment. The washing machine etc is a little loud at 1am in the morning. Well I may have had a show, I may not have. I don't know whats going on. My back is killing me and I've had some niggles. The stuff coming out down below is like a show but the wrong colour. Its such a large amount I need to wind it up with the loo paper to clean up down there. Its exactly like my last show in consistency just not colour. There is literally no colour to it. Anyway when this happened with DD she was born less then 24hrs later but hers also was very coloured which is why I dont know if it is or not although the amount is excessive. I have an Ob appointment at lunch time today so I'll ask him and hopefully he will do a speculum (he wont do a VE seeing as he wont want to start anything and thats all I need probably to get the ball rolling seeing as I'm niggling) What ever is coming out is heaps but I'm sure my waters haven't broken as its thick alhtough my pants are damp.
JJ I hope something exciting is happening for you down below and you miss your ARM on Wednesday as little miss has already arrived. I've still got 2weeks until my EDD but am starting to feel its dragging a little. I'm not complaining but will admit these last few weeks are hard.
T-Hopes hope you have a great scan today. Nope I'm still working. I'm suppose to work today but I think I might give it a miss. Maybe I can be up there labouring instead lol. Oh how tragic but. There already short staffed and if I cancel that means there is 2 midwives down. Not happy Jan. Last shift is 5th April (I'm only doing 5hr shifts now 5pm-10pm) I have a feel now I wont be making it until then. Thursday would be such a great day to have a baby. Even Wednesday would do. I like even numbers but I have child care for DD on Thursday.
Well as I've spent 30mins writting this nothing has happened. I feel nothing else down below and no niggles just back pain. Of to bed and see if I can string a little longer together.
Oh my goodness.. I was lost (again!) but now I'm found (again!). Congratulations to all the ladies who have their babies in their arms finally! All the best to those of you that are nearly there! Hope you have beautiful births!
Things going well here. Baby is moving ALOT now, such a relief to feel him every day! He is getting so strong too! Can see his kicks from the outside! Getting lots of BH already. But apart from that still not feeling very pregnant! It's pretty obvious now though! Hehe!
Will try to be a better contributor now I've found you all! x
Just wanted to stick my head in to say hi.
AFM~ i have a very cranky baby she had her frist set of shots today.And the dr said her hight is within the 95% of her age group but her weight is 38% so i am going to have a very tall skinny baby. The bad news is that the way that she wakes herselfs up its hard to explain but she might be having seizers in her sleep
That's not good angelfish, what can they do? EEG? I hope she gets sorted out. AND I hope she was good with her shots!
I had a horrid night's sleep with DS, but also had some pink tinged watery type CM - freaked me out. Nothing like my m/c, but still it was pink. I had bloods today but I wont get my results until Thursday, when we'll also have a scan. God I am so nervous, I just feel like they're going to do the scan and there will be nothing there.
possum - ive got a belly now too! i cannot suck it in anymore.. everyone at work including customers are starting to comment! and thats what im worried about too! am i too fat? but i last weigh in id lost half a kilo haha! (never lost half a kilo in my life pre pregnancy)
good ol dh called me pieguts and rubbed my tummy on sunday night when me were having a cuddle i cracked up laughing!
i cant believe how far we are along, what was it, like 6 weeks when we came into here, time flys!!
im positive i felt the baby move yesterday at work, i had this flutter for about 10 seconds and it stopped then another one for about 30 seconds i nearly screamed at work! it definatly wasnt gas, thats different.. lol it felt weird!
hey mildez - sounds like nesting to me ;) how did your appointment go?
angelfish - seizures? what are they going to do? im sorry :( you must be worried
wannabmum - dont stress about the cm, its not uncommon.. :)
jenna - hope youre going well
hope everyone is going well! and hi and belly rubs! x
Stoked lovely to see you again. Glad you found us again. Woow basically 22weeks now!
Angelfish gee thats scary. Hope its not that. If it is can they do anything about it? Or as its only in her sleep do they think it will be fine or she will grow out of it?
WBM I hope your scan on Thursday speeds up and you see a gorgeous little HB.
Alish my appointment is at lunch today. I'll be back to update then. Not sure whats going on but I've have 2 gushes it is thinner fluid with no colour since getting up. Still niggling. Once I sat down and could feel a gush, plus as soon as I got out of bed I had a major gush. I guess it was from what was pooling in there over night. I expect my Ob to have a look and make sure its not my waters breaking. Its certainly not a gush but a trickle every now and again.
Mildez..hope you're appointment goes well.
Alish...everyone is so different at different stages of pregnancy. With DD at six months everyone was asking me how many weeks i had to go or if i was having twins...this one im measuring right one and am heaps smaller. Its so good when you can feel flutters
Wannabemum....hopefully everything is ok then..i think it can be normal...hope fully the next few days goes fast
Angelfish..hope the little ones alright then
Hey Stoked...hope alls going well..good to hear from you
PM....thats heaps good only putting on 1.5. I have put on heaps more than that.....its good to look pregnant so dont worry..
T-hopes..Could be..if you're worried just tell you're ob
Jenna....hope you're going ok..thinking of you
Hey everyone else..
Had my 24 week appointment yesterday. Im measuring exactly on 24 weeks and HB was 154. He said i dont have to do the glucose test, i just have to get a blood test a couple days before my 28 week appointment. I was only in there for about 10 mins..im going to book my 3d scan in as well...probably wont have it till im 30 weeks tho...
About the possiblity of siezers sorry i was so short on it.Its becouse when she is sleeping she will wake herself up sometimes with bringing her arms and legs up in the air and shaking alittle but the rest of her is stiff.We got told that next time she does it we are suppose to hold her hand and if it stops then there is nothing to worry about. The shots i think i was more upset over then she was.
Hey everyone, just stopping in quickly.
My waters will be broken tomorrow morning, so hopefully by this time on thursday I'll be holding Little Miss Dragonfly and all the stress and worry I've had over the whole pregnancy will have been for nothing.
For anyone who is on my FB friends list - please don't post anything on there as hubby & I want to announce it ourselves and tell family first before we get inundated with heaps of wall posts.
Angelfish - I hope it's all nothing to worry about with DD, a friend of mine's DD had mini convulsions as a bub, turned out it was just some mild seizures that a lot of babies get but don't cause any problems, she was really stressed out about it though, and her DD had grown out of them by the time she turned 2 (she's now 5). We thought DS might have had them as well up until he turned 1 as he used to make simlar jerky movements every time he woke up, and still does when he's having night terrors, but apparently it's all normal.
WannabeMum - I hope it's all nothing darl, I had quite a few pink, brown and bright red bleeds this pregnancy up until 13wks. I'll be keeping my FXed that it's just bub snuggling in deeper and that you see a really nice strong heartbeat at your scan!
Mildez - Could be your hindwaters? A friend of mine had her hindwaters break just before 34wks and kept on losing fluid in small gushes right up until she had her youngest DS at 38-39wks (I forget exactly how far along she was when he was born even though it was only 2 months ago lol but it was before 40wks anyway lol)
Melster - Glad your appointment went well!
Hi everyone else! Sorry for not many persies, but need to get some things organised today since I won't be home tomorrow lol
Jandj good luck tomorrow i cant wait to hear the BA
Hi ladies!
Mildez - Hope al is going well at your appt! Your prob there right now !
JennaJayen - So excited that things will happen for you tomorrow!! Will be thinkibg of you! Good luck!! xx
AFM - Just got back from my u/sound and bubby looks great! Estimated weight is 3lb13oz! Holy moly! She said bub was in the top 90% of weights for this stage so it will be a whopper!! But she said all organs etc are perfectly healthy so not to worry! But c-section is looking more and more likely if i go to term! I see my ob next wednesday so will know more then! She said bub has hair!! I was soo excited to hear that!!!
Oh and unfortunatly my kidneys have got a lot worse, they are now severe so im waiting to hear back from my ob about what happens next :( I feel ok and obviously bub is still thriving so im sure all will be fine xx
Jenna - hoping that you're in labour at the hossy right now and soon to be holding your purple bundle.
Ionna - you too!
Stoked - glad you're found again.... look at your ticker.
Alish - time goes so slowly when you're pregnant and flies along once they're here... where did our little new born go? She was only so new yesterday and now 6 months.... that's probably how TegamM feels. You are the perfect size for you!
Melster good to hear from you.
Mildez - hoping you get some sleep soon and stop the pukies! Seems like a long pre labour to me.... not sure about your CM.... hope your appointment goes well.
TegamM - ahh so it's not just me... wanting another..... I keep fooling myself into thinking I've O'ed... LOL. I would give up BF'ing to encourage O, but I love that special time with Hannah and the go anywhere packaging!
Angel - sorry that Honor is giving you some worries... hope it all clears up soon.
Wannabemum - sorry you had a scare...I know it's a long wait til Thurs.... keep strong.
T Hoes - was it you doing the washing of bubs clothes? So cute...You should take a photo of those wee little outfits on the line... they're not in them for long....an you look back and think, how could they have ever been that small.
Reet - is there just too much action in the BD department with the man home? LOL.. Sorry to be suggestive but since Ferrals isn't posting as much it's very quiet on the risque department.
I didn't end up getting a BF outfit I liked. I bought one but will take it back. Too much $ for what it is and I only got it as I felt desperate and not because it was what I wanted. Oh store credit means more shopping... probably for H.
It's so nice to read about your growing bellies, that you're being able to feel movements, and even see them.
dory i have to laugh at how you spelt t-hopes, "t hoes" haha!!
time does fly when you have babies ive noticed, well.. my dogs anyway haha! i can still remember one of them being that little i held him in one hand an nursed him all day long.. ohh i wish he was still that little, i bet i will be the same way about the baby!!
have you started trying for another yet?
whats wrong with your kidneys t hopes? youve probably said it before but im too lazy to go back & read ;) does it mean you will have to have the baby sooner or something?
glad all is well with bubs though :)
melster - yay for an easy appointment, i sorta hate those, well for me anyway, im in for 10 minutes and here is a nice $150 bill for you ;) seems like i should get more out of the appt!!
jenna all the best for tomorrow, how very very exciting
xx
Dory its obviously not pre-labour. I think its just my body playing tricks on me. I was sure after all the stuff I have lost down below something would kick into gear. Oh well. I guess I was compairing my last 2 to this one and with them when something started happening it really happened. Now I'm just fiddling and farting around. I also found out today my women centre, low intervention Ob is away next week for over 2weeks. And his replacement is my old Ob who is scissor/caesar/induction happy. With my last he was adament I had the drip to speed labour up when I needed to push. Said I wasn't progressing fast enough (but I went from 4cm to birthing in 2hrs) I really didn't want him which is why I swapped so I'm so disappointed. My Ob who is going away even allows your DH to catch bub (under his guidance) so how sad for me. Oh well.
T-hopes will your kidney issues resolve once bub is out? Sounds like you have an excellent oven.
Dory - yeh it was me that has been washing all the baby clothes!! And i actually did take a pic of all the clothes!! It was too cute! I have been keeping a preg journal and put so many happy snaps in it!! I love it! So proud of it!
Mildez - Sorry to hear your good ob is going away :( you must be so shattered! So the only chance of having your ob deliver is if you went into labour this week?
And yeh hoping that the kidneys will resolve after birth but they arent 100% sure, will have to have some scans a few wks after bubs is born! Fingers crossed there isnt any permanent damage!
Alish - Hi lovey! I have Hydronephrosis, basically means they are very dilated and full of fluid. Ive heard that it can mean an earlier labour but will know more after i see my ob again next week! hopefully he has a plan :)
xx
T-Hopes yes I'm not sure the exact day my Ob is leaving but if bub doesn't arrive by mid next week I see his replacement for my appointment at 39+6 which means he will book an induction then. I will except the induction date as long as its a few days past my EDD at minimum. There a few dates I don't want this bub to arrive. In saying that its unlikely that will happen but you just don't know. I'll also have my old Ob for delivery (been private I have an Ob as opposed to a midwife for the actual delivery where I'm birthing. He will just be forbidden to walk in the room with his episi scissors)
Anyone know how Forshelby is doing hope she is okay and healing well
I feel abit flat at the moment l know i am close to the end but still feels like forever :shakehead:
all is good with bubby head down, OB reckons he will engage soon i have no clue how he predicts that as he seems happy under my ribs
Heres an embarssing moment :redface::redface:
went to the OB yest and didn't know he was doing that swab thingy and hadn't attended down there for ages it was so overgrown my DP thinks i prob traumatized the poor doctor i better get onto it i was so embarrassed!!!!!
Bellyrubs to all have read everyones posts just feeling stuffed so will get off the computer
Kellbell I'm sure your Ob has seem far worse lol. Even if it was to your knees I'm sure there have been clients that could challenge that hehe. Hey I'm bawled at present and my Ob did a VE yesterday and as I'd been leaking I felt all sticky and yuck and thats all I could think of about how he would have to pry the sticky things apart to do his thing. Not pleasant at all. Wonder what I would have been thinking if I had an afro. The thoughts we have. Kellbell I'm feeling you on the feeling your so close but yet so far away.
lol kellbell that was soo funny to read! glad everything went well with your appointment :) cheer up everything will be fine & come around quick!
thopes - ooo ive never heard of that, i read that you said they are hopin it should fix itself after birth? lets hope it does :)
mildez - isnt it crappy when your doc tells you he is going away :( mine is too!! mine was never guaranteed to deliver the baby though, if he wasnt on call for that night, but he wont be there for the last few weeks before the baby is born :( oh well ill just have to deal with it!
yeah how is forshelby??? dory?? anyone??
dh won cyndi lauper tickets on the radio (haha) and we like her but cant afford to stay in melbourne for the weekend so we decided to put them on ebay, starting price $1, we ended up getting $166 for them which is pretty cool, but the person that bought them put them on ebay for buy it now $299!! hahah!! oh well!
Alish: almost 17weeks woohoo!I hope the person that brought the tickets cant sell them! Dory was so right about me and them growing to quickly! Why do you think i have 4!
Kellbell and Mildez TMI :rofl:.... What was your cervix doing Mildez?
Thopes hope the OB has a few answers next week. 30weeks wow thats great!
Dory ill reply to your PM later today but i have playgroup rocking up here in 2 hours AHHHHHHH
FORSHELBY: THINKING OF YOU! :hello: Axel!
Tegam he described the cervix as been a multios. It was greater then 2cm thick, admitted 2fingers so about 2cm, soft, very posterior, bubs head was high but well applied to the cervix. So basically a normal cervix in a non labour lady who has had babies vaginally before.
News update. I'm convinced I'm trickling amniotic fluid. He checked me out yesterday but today its really ramped up. I'll be getting checked out at some stage today. Its identical to yesterday just alot more. Got checked out at my appointment he did the works and said they were still intact but now over night 4 pairs of undies and some pads I'm convinced there is a leak.
JJ thinking of you today and praying you have a brilliant vaginal delivery and are holding your little lady in no time.
Hi ladies :)
I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to read or catch up at all, I just wanted to let you all know we arrived home from the hospital last night and are all doing well. You've probably heard bits and pieces, and I will most definitely fill you all in about what happened, but for now I'm just focussing on enjoying being a new mum. :)
I haven't checked my B.A yet, but I'm sure Tellytubby did a great job. We named our son Axel Timothy Faccioni. Born via emergency c-section at 2.39am on March 25th. He was somewhat famous in the nursery, especially with all the drama surrounding my hospital stay. Let's just say I didn't get ANY rest. It was weird how many people wanted to pop in and get the juicy story. Weird, and rude. Yesterday I had 10 staff members come into my room to suss out the situation in less than an hour. Just knock and barge, knock and barge. One particular cleaner actually got annoyed when I asked her to leave, and come back later because Axel was so unsettled and I'd had no sleep whatsoever. SO not in the mood to make chit chat!
By last night I was so frazzled after almost 40 hours straight without more than an hour sleep tho, (because of nosy drs, nurses staff etc) I demanded that NOBODY else enter my room unless it's to monitor my condition, or tell me I can go home. (I then got the feeling some of the staff resented my request for some space...... like their 'wants' even matter!) I'll explain in more detail just how shocking the whole experience was, from the big things to the small things, but I think my time on here is already running short, lol. My little man is starting to squeak so I'm sure it won't be long before I have to start the 'snuggle, feed, change, feed, change snuggle settle' routine :)
He is one DEMANDING little man though, gets upset really quickly and I think frankly he was traumatized by what happened to us. Not to mention poor DP. I have never seen him look so afraid or upset. Anyhoo, we're all well now and both DP and I are grateful we all made it out unscathed. Will post pictures when I can um, get anything done besides baby stuff hehe. :) Thanks everyone for your support and for thinking of us.
:heartbeat:
WOW kellbell..i cant believe you're over 35 weeks now....well you probably can because when you're the one pregnant it takes ages LOL...its a long time to be pregnant so the last few months seem like it takes yrs. Dont worry about down stairs!!!! im sure the obs have seen it all and dont even get fazed by it..plus its pretty hard to get down there later in the pregnancy so im sure they are so used to it and have seen everything...
Alish..oh well least you made a little bit of $$$$$...
Jenna...how you going?
Mildez...sounds like it..especially if its increasing..keep us posted
Hey forshelby. Good to hear from you. Sorry you had such a difficult time but im glad you and bubs are ok though. Yes they certaintly take up alot of time in the first few months..and i remember just staring at DD all the time. All i felt like i was doing was bfeeding which took a while, changing, sleeping and then i would sit on the couch and then it be time for feeding again......but i love little miss....when there in a routine you defiantly have more time. Cant wait to see pictures..
ATM..im eating alot more which im worried about. Im hoping bubbie is just having a growth spirt...hopefully water areobics keeps my weight down. I keep waking through the night, its so annoying. This morning it was 5.30 and i was wide awake thinking about future finances!!!!! My dad seems to be getting worse as well, he had to have a MRI yesterday and dye put through him, and then he will go back to the nuro surgeon. Hopefully its not real bad news!!!!! but he is defiantly going down hill and mums finding it really difficult and getting really stressed.....he is 70 but you never want anyone you love to get old and sick....im very close to my parents and spend alot of time with them so its very difficult to watch....still waiting for a responce from CHild support about our objection about there decision on trying to make us pay 20'000.00 to the ex...so thats pretty stressful as well.....and i think thats why i am getting so much heart burn
Forshelby OMG it sounds like you had a horrendous time. CONGRATULATIOANS again. I'm of to the hossy to get checked out but by the sound of things a complaint to the hospital might need to be placed. What about your privacy? I'd be pee'd. You did the right thing telling them not to come in except when neccessary for you and Axel not for them. Love his name also.
great to hear from you forshelby! i bet youre glad to be home, sorry you had a horrible time, thats the good ol' GCH for ya!
love the name too ;)
melster - sorry to hear your dad is getting worse :( lets hope they get to the bottom of this soon & fix it..
mildez - sounds like things are happening for you???
gosh i cant wait to finish work... only 4 months to go hahah
Quick one from me. Things are happening. Membranes have definately gone so I'm heading of to be admitted soon. They wanted to keep me and induce me then but I had more cleaning to do :ROFL: I'm officially nesting. So bub should be here tomorrow at the latest. I'm excited but scared. The might induce me today or else tomorrow due to my risk of infection (I have a known pelvic infection) and they ruptured approx 6am yesterday so well and truely over 24hrs ago. I've got a cannula in and had my first dose already.
Mildez -woohooooooooooo cant wait to read your BA hope you have a beautiful birth

SO EXCITED for you :dance::dance:

Congratulations Jenna on you're little girl..hope everything went well
Good luck Mildez..hope everything goes well today/tomorrow. Thinking of you
Congratualtions iona..cant wait to hear you're bs
So is it just Kellbell and Reet next?????
Wow its going to get quiet in here soon when everyone pops.....unless we get some newbies.....or you lovely new mothers keep coming on....i know how time consuming in can be looking after the little bundle of joy .......:p
Thanks ladies..i dont know whats worse...loosing someone quickly or seeing someone deteriate in front of you're eyes and go down hill quickly and theres nothing you can do about it..i hear alot of people saying oh he has had a good innings..he was 70-75 or whatever..but when there you're flesh and blood you want them to be around forever......the baby is due a couple days before dads birthday as well......
I know this might sound strange..but after the mc and being so worried about this baby.....sometimes it feels like i forget im pregnant..i dont touch my belly as much. Dont obsess as much. dont think as much. dont plan as much..sometimes i think it might be a surprise to me when the baby actually pops out...LOL.......it kinda doesnt feel real in a way even with the kicks and the belly.......do you think thats from the mc or being a second baby or just me? Maybe its a coping mechinism to loosing the baby....
