Babies Born ~ September 2007 #72

[Cassius2]

like I am seriously STILL here! not much in the way of contractions at all. Her head is still a bit high so is not putting any pressure on the cervix apparently. i have been ordered to climb some stairs to encourage her down. so will have to find some lol. maybe a fitball will do the trick??

[AnyDream]

LOL. You are so. Gen. Y.

Stairs. Or perhaps just some funky chicken dancing?

ETA Cally, were you awake due to own snoring or DH's?

[Trillian]

Cass, maybe you could do some lunges or even squats? Sitting on the loo helps open the pelvis too. Hopefully it wont be too much longer before things kick into gear

[Cassius2]

Baby E. milia arrived this morning!!! wahoo! she is so cute! 2 hour labour that started at midnight in earnest. she was born in the water and had a wee swim and everything. DH and Miss L cut the cord and we let Miss M snooze until this morning when she woke and has been showering her little sister in kisses ever since hahaha.

[Artechim]

Huge Congrats Cass! So happy that it all went to plan. Enjoy your day

[AnyDream]

Absolutely thrilled for you Cass! Massive congratulations and much love to you all. Xxx

[Cally]

Congrats Cass, glad it all went so well.

No snoring involved MD. I wear earplugs so I can't usually hear breathing anyway. I was just awake and couldn't get comfy, my back was bothering me.

[Artechim]

Cass, love love love the pic of E on FB! Is her hair honey coloured in real life? She looks like a perfect doll! Cluck, Cluck, Cluck!

Invited a friend around for W today after kindy, then my friend with her kids, then another kid and mum because they have just immigrated here and I worry they are lonely - 7 kids all up. They didn't even trash my house

[Cassius2]

Arte: that is a party in my books! i am impressed that no house trashing has taken place...sheesh my kids have managed to create a scene from an apocalypse movie scene just on their own today.

Miss Es hair is like this cool ash blonde colour ATM. i am amazed at how hairy she is! her back and arms are still completely covered in the lanugo as well...we must have strong hair genes in the family somewhere

watch that cluckiness arte...it's nearly december lol!

Trill: i took your advice and it must of done the trick as afterwards when i went to bed i could feel her move down and flip around and sure enough a few hours later...baby!

thanks for all the congrats guys! we are totally smitten. the big sisters are so proud and argue over who gets to cuddle her first...Miss M even offered to breastfeed her this morning

[AnyDream]

Damn! I thought it must've been the funky chicken dancing.

[Artechim]

Cass, my E's hair was that ash blond colour, sometimes silver. She didn't have a lot of it though so it changed colour depending on the lighting.

Just clucking from a far, I have definitely done my dash. I am tired down to the cellular level!

[AnyDream]

Cass, you know it's time to get the vaccuum cleaner out when you see the 4 horsemen trotting through the loungeroom . BTW how is the babymoon going, lovely lady? She is just goooooorgeous, loving all the photos on FB. xxx My E was a furry little critter too, the hair hung on for a long time afterwards, especially around her hairy little bum. LOL.

Cally, are you still having the same problems with your back as you did when you were pg? That has been a long time... I hope you get relief in between times .

Arte, that does sound like a fun get-together! I've always wished for popping-in type friends but never really understood how to grow them.

Ginger - OMG how good was the BB final last night?? I was and wasn't barracking for B... but I had an inkling he would win, do you remember back in the first couple of weeks he was telling someone about the psychic he went to see who predicted some very specific things, obviously about the whole BB journey and how his life would change afterwards. Totes amazing. I also think young Braddles might get sucked up into the media world somehow too. It will be interesting to see which ones find fame and fortune and which ones sink back into obscurity. Anyway, there will be a big hole in my television life now LOL.

AFM, am going in this arvo to get my sleep study results. Kinda nervous. I don't think he could say anything too surprising, but I just so desperately want there to be a solution!

[Trillian]

Fingers crossed for you hun that they can help you

[Cassius2]

Oh no, MD, their aint no trottin'...galloping, galloping and mooooreee galloping

I hope that the results come up with something...something that can help you overcome it all!

Cally: what is wrong with your back? Have probably asked that a million times before

AFM: all awesome here our little girl has slipped right into our lives and is just awesome awesome awesome! she has been hit with the jaundice like the other girls did, but finally we have some sun so have her nuding it up under the window and feeding like a beast. i just cannot get over how tiny she is! she is only 400gms smaller than marta was but it really makes a difference when you are only 3kgs lol. she is in these teeny tiny 00000s! all the gorgeous purebaby newborn clothes i bought are stupidly big on her hahaha.
poor miss m had a couple of days of realising that i cannot just put the baby down on demand. so she had a crisis of cuddles but i *may* have saved the day yesterday and today due to my milk coming in having to express off...and miss m LOVES the stuff hahaha. now she gets that her little sister might have shared benefits
miss l on the other hand only had one manic day where her excitement/anxiety was a bit OTT. but since returning back to kindy she has been more balanced and they girls are back to playing normally. phew!
almost finished writing the birth story...like to get it down in words quickly...my memory is shot hahaha.

[AnyDream]

Cass, sounds like it's all going really well, in the blink of an eye big sisters L and M will be dragging miss E around and showing her all their tricks. LOL Hope you're getting plenty of sleep. xxx

[Trillian]

Third babies are pretty awesome aren't they? Poor P just got dragged from pillar to post when she was born and not once did she ever complain about it. Can't wait to read all about it too.

[AnyDream]

Breaking news: no apnoea. No leg movements. Very fragmented sleep. It might be different sleep disorder. (Insert swearing). Having read half of the Internet, I was NOT expecting that.

He did say it can happen as a result of brain injury and chemo can be considered to cause brain injury, so there's a small body of literature which suggests there may be a connection but no one has studied it yet.

But on a lighter note, snoring officially confirmed. LOL

[Cassius2]

But on a lighter note, snoring officially confirmed. LOL

did you get to 'see' yourself sleep at all? that would be so weird (and yet, i would SOOOO wanna see it lol).

*off to google narcolepsy*
