Babies Born October - December 2005 #19

[deancey]

hi ladies

well feeling sorry for myself and feel as though i have let everyone down now that contractions have stopped all together. I know he will eventually come out however I really thought it would be last night as it was so similar to the way Jordans labour went. I guess its true that all labours are different.
Went and got waxed this morning so atleast now and I ALL prepared for the big event. LOL want to look neat.
Jordan has been a feral this morning, saying NO to everything and being really sooky. We ended up putting him to bed at 11 so hopefully he will wake up on the better side of the bed.
Jamie stayed home from work just incase but think he will go back tomorrow. I am not sure what to do about friday.... do I go or not??????
Sorry for making this all about me but I am feeling a little down at the moment.

...I am not sure what to do about friday.... do I go or not??????

I thought it was next friday??? Is it this friday? I will serioulsy have to figure out babysitting plans!

Tracey - I went to the BB event when I was 1 week and 1 day overdue!

[cindyb]

Rachael - i think she is talking about going to work???

Tracey - I personally wouldnt go, not if you are feeling so cruddy, dont stress yourself out. I dont mind anything being about you by the way, your having a baby!! It should be about you - god knows it wont be once liam arrives- it wil be all about him as it always is! I hope you are having a nice relaxing day and getting some sleep- today is a great day for snuggling up on the couch or in bed - next top model is on which i am assuming you are watching, great excuse to sit fora while

[Pandora]

LOL he he okay.
I dont think I'd go then if it were me

hi tracey,i remember the same feeling with james,i went into labour at 2pm in the afternoon,i was even admited to hospital and laboured allll night,they sent me home the next morning when everything stopped,i was so embarrassed and disapionted and i felt really ripped off that i went through 18 hours of pain and hard work for nothing,dont worry about thinking you let anybody down cos you most definantly didnt.
your body has done some work so you are a step closer.after i was sent home i hd james 24 hours later hopefully you may not be waiting to lng after all.
as for work on friday,do what you feel is best,if you wake up fine then there is no harm going,if you did start labour he wont fall out and you would get home and to the hospital in plenty of time,try not to put your life on hold,do what ever you normaly do and enjoy each day that you have left before you are house bound with a new born and toddler.
i hope you are feeling a bit better tonight,we love you and are thinking of you.

kristie- was it your birthday today? So sorry i missed it if it was, i know its soon, a month before nikki if i remember correctly not that i remember off the top of my head the date! If so, i hope you had a fab day.
I have had a busy weekend with tupperware and today finally made it to the butchers and the fruit and veg farm so we can have some food in the house!
I am so glad to hear melissa that you will be getting some answers soon!
Good luck tomorrow tracey, its always great to get to see your bub again.
So what are the plans for friday my lovelies?

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Cindy - Not my birthday until the 23rd! LOL! Our house is a bit light on food as well so I'll be off to do the shopping today...fun fun fun! Hehe. Gosh, I don't know how you do so much with work and tupperware!!

Can I have the name and address for the restaurant again?? Also what time was it booked in for??
Cindy - will you drive in over this way?? Maybe I could meet you at your mums or something and I can drive you in??

[Pandora]

Hey Kristie! I know you guys are happy with a healthy bub of either gender but if you are at all interested, and have a u/s pic, I think its Tanya (mod) who's really good at telling the gender fo the u/s shots, even from the earlier scans.

[Krisvee]

Thanks Rachael...we just saw it on our video...it so looks like a little doody...the only reason I'm not 100% certain is because people have told me bits can look swollen or whatever in girls at this stage as it's all so little...but it really does look like a boy...I would never have noticed but Michael did straight away! The u/s lady even said "he" but could also have been because we had the boys in with us at the time...
It's only another 7-8 weeks to wait so no drama anyway...it's funny because I pulled all my maternity clothes out a week or 2 ago and also had baby stuff in and I was thinking it would be nice to have another little boy to dress in all the cute little clothes...Awww...at the same time would be nice to buy some new pink stuff - LOL!

[cindyb]

Good that i didnt miss it then, i knew it was coming up.....
I will probably have to meet you in there kristie - i will be waiting for al to get home and thats not till 6.30ish, i wont get into lygon till about 7.30 by the time i get out the door etc but otherwise it would have been a great plan! Will probably be faster for me to just go down the monash at that time.

So, what are the plans for friday night?

[Pandora]

did we decide to go to chinese in essendon?

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Another busy day and out for a meeting tonight...so cute at Kinder Louis had to go off with the teacher as they are making surprise mothers day presents for us!! Hehe - how cute!
Had my scan and very excited to say that we have a healthy bubba in there!!! Looked very cute and was looking like he was trying to suck his thumb! LOL! Michael swears he saw a doody but I'm not 100% convinced - more than likely he's right though...it does look like it but as you can imagine very hard to tell at this stage...Will have to wait another 8 weeks before we'll know if it's an Ethan or a LIly!

Tracey - Awww don't feel bad. I thought I was going early and there were so many times I was wondering if it was it and it wasn't...BUT...I had a straight forward, cruisy (as it can be...) labour in the end so it was all worth it!!! I'm sure your cervix is starting to soften and dialate which will make it all the more easy for your little Liam to come into the world!!! Trust your body and let it do it's thing!!! You haven't let anyone down - your body is doing exactly what it needs to be doing!! (however, in saying all that I completely understand how frustrating it can be - LOL!)
Personally, I wouldn't bother with work on Friday...I can tell you so don't want to go so I wouldn't bother...You'll just be annoyed being there I reckon!!

Rachael - LOL at your little rhyme!!! What are the rest of the days??? Dylan was born on Friday and Louis on a Sunday???

I hope everyone else is well!! I'm so looking forward to dinner out!!! Still no sure on a babysitter yet but I'm sure it will all fall into place!!

Chat later!

[Pandora]

Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full or grace
Wednesdays child is full of woe
Thursdays child has far to go
Friday's child is loving and giving
Saturday's child works hard for a living
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blythe and good and gay (lol the happy version)

Hi everyone

well still nothing here so I have decided to go into work till midday tomorrow and then a good bye lunch with everyone. Jamie thinks I am silly but I feel like I have left things undone if I dont go back and say proper goodbye etc. 4 hrs wont kill me and like you said Nikki he isnt going to fall out if labour does start. MIL lives 15 mins from work so I could be there in a jiffy.
Went to playgroup today and Jordan had an accident. I was a little embarassed but everyone was good about it and even cleaned it up whilst I cleaned him up I guess its bound to happen at a playgroup.

Krisite glad to see your scan went well. LOL at Michael thinking he saw a doodle...... who knows? only time will tell but I saw Liams at 12 weeks so he may be right.

thanks everyone for being so supportive. Jamie and I were driven insane with all the texts yesterday about whether it had started again etc.....Everyone has eased off today so its all good, Jamie went back to work and said to call if anything so all is good.
Take care everyone, its so cold today

[Krisvee]

Hi!

Rachael - thanks for that!

Tracey - how are you feeling? I hope you have a nice day at work today with your lunch out!

Well, we've told a few people about thinking it will be another boy and I'm getting very annoyed...I even vented in the punching bag thread or whatever it's called.
Yes we're happy to have another boy!!!!!! I can understand people making comments to a degree BUT my mum basically came out and said that I've talked myself into having boys (because I'm oh so clever and powerful!) and don't I like girls etc...I was so mad at her - anyway she crapped on for ages - and this was after I told her I was getting annoyed at comments!! WTF????? So annoyed...

Anyway...Having a cruisy day today and then am doing a party in Roxburgh park tonight!!! Will take me ages to get there I think so I hope it will be a good one...however I think I'll get the delivery couriered when I get it in...only $8.50 which I swear would be less than the fuel I'd spend on a 2 hour+ round trip...
Chat later!

oooh I hate that Kristie. When we talk about having another bub everyone says 'yeah it wll be nice to give him a sister' and 'so your trying for a girl'. Mmm nope we'll be trying for a baby. No offence to anyone who does try ofr one or the other, I just dont like the way that its assumed (by my family) we are, or that we're somhow abnormal for not doing it.

[nicole mckay]

oops that would be me,sorry kristie,
i guess i am like that cos when i was prg with chantelle i made it NO secret to anyone that i desperatly wanted a little girl since i already had 2 boys.but you are right at the end of the day it is a baby,another child to be a part of your life
