    Glad to hear your nearing the end of your illness BR.
    Yes, I'm getting newborn shots done but only cause I won a Mother's Day competition my SIL entered me into, can't wait.

    Hoping to be able to officially join this thread by tonight!!

    Had a little leak on Thursday night with a continuous trickle since and seeing as though my body has not gone into labour on it's own I will be induced at some point this morning!
    Not ideal but at least I will be holding my baby girl this afternoon/tonight

    Wish me luck!!!

    Good luck emmalee, I hope it all goes well. I'll be joining you in induction Monday but because they'll start with the gel they won't break my waters till Tuesday, so I won't have a bub till at least later Tuesday.

    Good luck emmalee!

    We had nb photos taken on Tuesday. Looking forward to seeing them, although it was a bit of a comedy of errors. As soon as we had ds undressed he just started pooing everywhere! I mean everywhere! In the end we just had to laugh at how healthy his digestive system is .

    He has had a couple of more unsettled days. I don't think he likes it when I drink coffee. And or he doesn't like the milk in it? Not sure which, but I am restricting my intake.

    Also looks like ds has oral thrush, so I am treating both of us with daktarin and I'm taking a probiotic as well as cleaning my nipples with bicarb and water twice a day. Such a pain! But my boobs were getting progressively sorer, so it has to be done.

    Good luck emmalee. Can't wait to hear your news later today.

    Shanleem. My waters broke themselves after only 1 gel application for induction so maybe they won't need to break yours.

    Bella - that's is so funny about the newborn shots. Mckenzie did the same. She wee'd on the beautiful soft white rug, vomited all over me and the floor mat & poo'd in the beanie. We had a close friend do ours so I didn't feel too bad as she said it happens all the time. I have only seen a few pics so far - newborn shots are just so cute.

    Congratulations Emmalee - same size as Mckenzie was. Enjoy your newborn cuddle time in hospital before all the visitors come.

    I'm up at 3:15 feeding. Can't complain only been up once before now tonight. I did go to bed at 8:30pm. I've always needed lots of sleep.

    Re: Babies born ~ May 2014

    Hi ladies,
    Jason got weighed and in 11 days he has gone from 5lb 11 to 6lb 15.
    He is 6 weeks but Im not sure if its 2 weeks corrected?? Ash?? its amazing seeing him grow and can not believe he is here.
    My ob phoned last week to see how me and Jason are and he is still feeling bad he said he never picked up on the UIGR and the placenta failure....as I said we are both ok so dont worry. How are you fab ladies??

    Congrats emmalee, I'm so thrilled for you.
    How did the induction go, I'm hoping you had a good experience with it? And would love to hear about it, but I can understand if your busy with your beautiful new bundle and newborn cuddles.

    Re: Babies born ~ May 2014

    Thanks girls!!
    Just enjoying some snuggles as we speak!

    Shanleem- induction was ok although I have nothing to compare to because this was my first! I had a little trouble toward the end as they thought my waters had completely ruptured but when they were doing an internal later on down the track they found that there were still fore waters so they broke those, once they did that it got really intense really fast because the synto drip was on really high, if they had of broke my waters properly the first time it wouldn't have hit me like a Mac truck! They overstimulated me with the hormones and the midwives were apologizing so much! I ended up with an epi for the last 3 hours (out of 13) and they dialed it down so I could push!
    All in all it was a good experience and totally worth it!!

    Re: Babies born ~ May 2014

    Thanks so much for taking the time to share. Apart from the overstimulation it sounds like it went really well. I'm really hoping for a similar outcome.
    I'm still hanging onto hope that things might kick off naturally but if not I'm not so worried now, only one more sleep till it all gets rolling.
