Sitting in hospital waiting area. I am going to take my shoes off and close my eyes if they hook me up to the monitor zzzz

Bethany do the normal measurements mean you can relax the GD diet slightly?

 

[Sarachka]

It's funny to think I'm in the building where my baby will be born.

Hello turtles

Quick stop in. Last night was waaaay better. She fed a LOT which is great, milk is starting to come in. She screams before a poo so at least now I know what the source of the screaming is. Still having our chiro friend check her later just in case.
She is just so absolutely squishingly wonderfully perfect

Latest pics
Recognise the outfit Clare?

Aww she's gorgeous Trin!! Enjoy the milk coming in

Thanks ladies. OH says he need to do a legal name change to Leo Beau Handsome.

Not sure that I'll be available Saturday but go ahead... I'll find my way

No problem, whenever you are available just let me know and I can help you if you need it. Likely you won't need help, but just in case

Are we able to have other topics though as well as a main conversation thread?

Yep! I've got lots of different things set up. It will hopefully make it easier for us to share stuff without it all getting lost in conversation.

Ooh can't wait! I wondered if this was your secret squirrel project you mentioned a few days ago. Pleeeeeeesse can I make some graphics for it?!

Of course! Once we get all moved over you'll see there's a banner at the top that I've currently just got a picture of a turtle, but I think you could make something so much better! Maybe you could make a few and we could have a vote!

Soooo cute, Molly! What an adorable little monkey. And my DH would die for that little hockey sweatshirt!! Where did you get that one?

All's good with Henry 2.4 kgs, gonna be about 3.6kgs at birth so no more stressy scans which is a relief! I have a perfectly average 50th percentile baby Off to the park with Holly and DH in the sunshine! La vie est belle!

Nice work, B! Your hard work is paying off!

Bethany do the normal measurements mean you can relax the GD diet slightly?

No, alas! Both for the baby and for me, babies can PILE on the weight in last trimester if sugar levels go out of control, plus he'd be at risk of hypoglycemie (low blood sugar) in the 5 or so days after birth, so it needs to stay under strict control. And it's not good for me either, to stress my metabolism to make more insulin than it can manage to at the moment, so the diet really is all the way to the bitter end! BUT the good thing is that all the vital organs are pretty much functioning now, even if they're immature, so the odd wrong sugar is unlikely to impact their formation now And to be honest I feel so great at the moment, and I'm sure it's the diet and sport, so I don't want to change it now

The normal measurements are an indication that it's been well managed so far though, so I'm feeling for ten minutes!!

I do that and forget to push the little button everytime I feel a movement

You will!! He's really rather adorable Molly! And I can't believe how much he's grown!!

 

[Sarachka]

I'm going to over heat in a minute. I'm boiling and can't get comfy and I'm still waiting 30 mins after my apt time!!

 

[LunaLady]

Trin, Tori is just so scrummy ummy umptious!!!!!!! What a dear sweet little baby! Glad things are going well and yay for milk coming in!

 

[HollyMonkey]

Gosh I have so much other news to blurt, it's been a lovely day out and I wasn't that stressed in the end about the scan coz Holly kept me busy! She spilt apple juice on her jeans just before it so we quickly bought an outfit in town for her to change into, leggings with a dress top and pretty bow on the waist. I took loads of pics in the park, she looked so pretty and summery, I'll post later! And I got a red and white spotty table cloth for the kitchen table, a waxed linen waterproof one, and it looks sooo bright and jolly! Even dh loves it! AND I cracked for a mini iron in the haberdashery shop It's so sweet and I can use it at my sewing table.

And of course I have Henry pics to post.....but I have to cook dinner, and then leave for swimming in an hour...so it will be later on!!! The sun has been shining all day here, AT LAST!! The flowers of my heart are blooming

Goodluck Sarachka with the tests xxxx Catch you all later after my swimming fix xxxx

 

[HollyMonkey]

[Sarachka]

Sounds like one of those lovely days from my future B

 

[Sarachka]

45 mins & my patience is wearing thin ...

 

[Mollykins]

There is a crane in your craft iron pic B! That makes me stupid happy.

I'm sorry for how uncomfortable you are just now Sarah. I wish I could help.

Luna, the hockey shirt was a hand me down gift so I don't know where it came from

 

[kit_cat]

Evening all!

How are we all this fine Friday? Any fabbo plans for the weekend?

Trin....Tori is so lovely and cute and new....I bet you are still on

Sezi..hope you've been seen by now and everything is ok

B...excellent results - very well done Can't wait to see our Henry

Can't remember what else I had to say Probably because I am a bit perplexed right now. We had our water meter changed today and the workman didn't turn our water back on. It's not good to have no water Hope they can sort it quickly or else we may have change our surname to Smelly

 

[Sarachka]

On monitor. Zzzzz

Only 1 hr late. I understand that hospitals are busy but if you're told ur apt is 4/:30 then you expect to be seen then. They could have atleast let me know
