Congrats monymony he's lovely!!

Darlin the nursery looks great!!

I'm still hanging in here feeling more and more fed up and uncomfortable, just keep telling myself not long now!! Xx

 

[Sunnyleah]

Congratulations Mony Mony!! He is absolutely precious glad labour wasn't too long

Darlin I love the nursery! What a creative theme . Live the colours too

AFM- another 4am WIDE AWAKE DESPITE BEING EXHAUSTED EPISODE

3 1/2 days if work.... Got the baby laundry done and organized and put away yesterday yay!! Looking forward to our scan later today .

And it's Passover, so dinner with DH family. Great start to the week!

 

[Starry Night]

Monymony -- congratulations! He's is absolutely beautiful. And congrats on getting your vbac.

darlin - that nursery looks very chic. Very creative! I like it.

nats - you're full term now! Wow! It really won't be too long now.

Sunny - enjoy your last few days at work. And enjoy your scan!

afm - I will probably start washing the baby's things next week. I don't want to do things TOO early because I don't want to have to do anything twice. But I do want the car seat in the car and the clothes all ready to go by around 35 weeks. I don't think baby will come that early but no harm in being prepared.

 

[Sunnyleah]

Starry that was my plan. 35 weeks which is today . Haven't installed the car seat or set up the bassinet yet but we have them

 

[Darlin65]

Nats I feel your pain! Today at the doctor no changes really. 10% more effaced so 60% total but that's it she said she's happy I've been contracting and hopefully that's helping my uterus prepare so my labor goes smoother. I'm just ready. I feel so fine already lol I didn't feel like this with DS.

 

[MrsGax]

Hi guys! Sorry I have not been around lately, we are moving and I pop on to read stuff and check on everyone, but just have not responded! SO busy. Just wanted to check in and wish everyone a happy and healthy labor and delivery!

Congrats Monymony! So exciting!

Not too long for all of us now! I really cannot believe it.

 

[Starry Night]

Pretty much only 3 weeks until term for me! Then I'm looking up natural ways to kick start labour. The pain is really starting to get to me. I could hardly walk today. I'm pretty sure I don't have SPD but I do have varicose veins in my nether regions and baby is pinching some sort of nerves from always sitting so low. I felt this shooting pain go down the front of my left leg and at my tailbone when I tried to stand this morning. It feels like she's trying to fall out of my bum. All that back pressure also makes me severely constipated. No BH though so it feels like she has no intention of budging soon!

 

[Darlin65]

Starry I totally get it. I wish he'd just come. I'm so done but I don't see it happening anytime soon

 

[Starry Night]

Maybe if I spend my next entire appointment crying my OB will take pity on me..... lol She'll probably just have me committed instead. oi

 

[Sunnyleah]

I've been getting the crazy shooting , can't walk sciatic pain too. Mostly my left side.

Our scan was great. Baby actually cooperated!! Only 20 mins!!! We got to see his boy parts again nice confirmation he did the practice breathing that they couldn't get him to do last time. And he was sucking his hand. All great signs. He is head down and VERY low. Tech commented how low. Basically his head is sitting in my pelvis on my cervix. Fingers crossed it means he'll come quick and a bit early. She wouldn't tell me his estimated weight though. Gotta wait till next Thursday when I see the ob.

We also had our last prenatal class last night and tomorrow is my last day at work. It's all so real now!!!


I'm DO EXCITED!!!!

 

[nats77]

We'll I am feeling massively huge tonight!!! Uncomfortable still! Exhausted still!! And fed up still!! Lol please hurry up baby Nancy I soooooo ready now!
Had some pics taken this am so hoping they have come out ok, will upload a couple once I get them.
Xxxx

 

[Darlin65]

Nats I feel ya!!!! I'm so over it! Wish he'd just come so I can spend Easter with my family! I keep losing mucus plug. Omg I had no clue there was soooo much to lose! :dohh Sat in bed last night with contractions 20min apart for just over an hr and then NOTHIIING!

 

[nats77]

At least u got signs!! I have nothing!! Contractions last week, nothing since! Nada. Nowt, zilch, think u will b first darlin, but we're both on that countdown lol xx

 

[Darlin65]

Idk I've lost all hope Everyone swears I will go on Easter but I want to go now and be home with DS for Easter. 38wks tomorrow. He will officially be term enough to come. He needs to just hurry his little butt up

 

[Darlin65]

Well 38 woks (ticker will switch any min now) and NOTHING!!!!

 

[Starry Night]

The good news is your baby WILL come out. Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. These things can happen all of a sudden.

afm - bought some things for the hospital bag and my first sample set of formula arrived in the mail. Things are starting to feel a little real...

 

[Sunnyleah]

Darlin hang in there starry is right- baby WILL come out

Nats- a lot of women have no signs. My mom said with me (her first) she went to bed and woke up two hours later with contractions. I was born within 12 hours. No other signs and my brother her water broke at 8 am (no previous signs) and he was born at 11 am. So there's hope!!

AFM- work is done!!!! Feels great. Just in time too, my feet are swelling to the point that my toes tingle!!! Ah!! Lol. Looking forward to getting the house organized and a good cleaning (I've slacked through pregnancy and DH and I have just done the minimum). Also cleaning our cars and installing car seats today!!!

Then I plan on stocking the freezer and working on baby projects (sewing, crochet, etc) until baby arrives. Figure if I keep busy the waiting won't be as bad

Do you moms all have play pens? We are debating the need for one. Either way we won't be buying for a bit but if we have a shower after baby is born I'm debating even having it on the registry. Do you have them? Do you use them? When & where do you use them?

 

[nats77]

Sunny thanks Hun, the thing is I actually know this as I'm on my fourth baby!! Lol and with all previous children i had no signs or symptoms of anything happening until i woke up and my waters broke!! And it was the same with all three so I'm sure this one will b no different!! And I've never made it to my due date either so I shouldn't really complain. I'm sure at some point in the next two weeks this little princess will make an appearance xx
