Wow how exciting! Babies are coming!!
COngrats Ganton and Drjo Welcome to your precious babies!
Flossie..so sorry for your loss
Spiffy am thinking about you today...in a few hours you will hold your baby in your arms!
AFM I think am ready to receive the baby but in the back of my head there is always something else to prepare, buy, wash or clean. Am finishing some projects now, hope I can finish before she comes. My belly has dropped also and I get more BH everyday but nothing else. Im just thinking positive and imagine my cervix opening but my midwives are all for hands off all natural so I wont be checked until 40 weeks. Hope I can get something going on before that. Am 38 weeks today!!!!

Congrats on your sweet baby girl, Drjo! I have an adorable little niece name Nora, so I love the name.

As for me, I just got the call, so I'll be heading in to the hospital in a few minutes. I'll be sure to update as soon as I can!

Good luck Spiffy!! Can't wait to hear your update!

 

[pinkpassion]

spiffy, can't wait for an update!!!!

 

[Ganton]

Sorry for not updating sooner, but Spiffy is absolutely right that I had my little girl at 5.45pm on 26th April. My waters broke in the morning but contractions didn't kick in for quite some time. She was born in the pool just 1.5 hours after returning to hospital, weighing 8lb6oz. Here's a little picture of our first night cuddles.

Congrats to you Drjo and good luck Spiffy. Looking forward to more updates.

Congrats Ganton!! Love the pic - She's adorable Glad to hear you had a good birth experience as well.

And hopefully by now congrats to Spiffy too!!

Can't wait to see more pics and birth stories!

AFM - I'm off to my last OB appt/Sono today. And assuming nothing's changed (I'm not 100% positive I don't have a slow fluid leak) - I should still be on course for my scheduled c-sec on Monday. Just a few days left at most, no matter how you look at it!

 

[KrissyB]

Eww. ** TMI ** So I just lost my mucus plug.
Not sure what that really means considering its my second time but I had a c sec the first time. I didn't lose it at all before going into early labor with DD1

Could have sworn i posted

Congrats Ganton! She is just beautiful!

Positive thoughts to you spiffy!! I hope everything is going smoothly!

 

[pinkpassion]

Krissy that's so exciting!!!! And that you will see your baby in just a few short days if nothing else!!!!

 

[NZKiwi]

what a gorgeous wee girl you have ganton!

Good luck Spiffy! And Krissy, really not long to go now!!

Afm today is my last day at work!! My wall decals arrived for baby's room, so I am looking forward to putting those up while I'm on mat leave. I still have a few things to buy, my home birth kit is coming along, although I have to make a birth mat, I still have all his clothes to wash and I have to put my just in case hospital bag together, with all that and netflix I'm ready for mat leave!!

 

[KrissyB]

So apparently my cervix is very thin, but still far back and closed so that seems to be holding off....

But she almost didn't pass her BPP today because they barely saw any fetal breathing, so I go back tomorrow morning for a repeat ultrasound. Everything else was perfectly fine, so they think she just didn't feel like doing the breathing (which is sporadic).... but if she isn't more cooperative tomorrow, I'm far enough along, they'll just take her to avoid any potential distress she might be in.

 

[KrissyB]

Sorry for the double post!

Baby Levi was born at 12:55pm, so about 4 hours after they started my labor. He weighed 6lbs 10oz and was 19.75in long. Both he and I are doing great!
