(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

Forums New posts
August- still have the period feeling on and off. It's not strong enough to cause any problems so it's fine. It seems to be a positive thing. I'm in hospital today for fetal monitoring. Not really sure what that is or what they are going to do but I was told to go in so I am.
All organised now thankfully. Nothing really left to do, just tidy up around.

I just noticed how close you are! You could pop any minute!! Do u have any signs of things happening? When are u back in hospital again? Do u feel ready?
 
I have absolutely no feeling of baba coming any time soon, ready2Bmum, but I'm sort of quite serene about it. (for now anyhow, it might all change if I'm days overdue!) I sort of think it'll happen when LO is good and ready and I am relaxing and getting ready as much as I can. The only changes in the last few weeks have been the bump dropping, much more frequent BH, extra discharge and night sweats but I'm still going to Pilates, reflexology and swimming and feel good for it. Next appointment with doc is on Thurs and in hospital next Wednesday at 40 +1. My only complaint is very broken sleep but at least I have the luxury of being able to take naps during the day if I need to.

Hope all goes well at the fetal monitoring today, will check back later to see how you got on. :flower:
 
We're putting up the Christmas tree this afternoon. I worry that either I'm going to get too uncomfortable to be able to, or that the baby will come early and nobody else will bother doing it at that point. plus I love doing it with the kids and taking pictures of the process.
 
My husband and daughter put up our Christmas tree yesterday, and on sat dh got all the outdoor Christmas lights up on the house. We still have a few random decorations to get out and one more tree to put up in our front living room, but it's nice to have most of it done. We don't have presents wrapped but we do have all of the shopping done besides Black Friday items I want to get. Is anyone else planning to try any Black Friday shopping? My sisters and I go every year to get a few really cheap toys for dd and video games for dh and their boyfriends. They are so freaked out that I will go into labor during it this year, I told them that's ok maybe it will get us through the line faster haha.

Here is my 37 week- full term bump!

Hi ladies! It seems like an eternity since my last post (and I know it has been because B&B sent me a notice about it! :blush:), but I have been very busy moving for the third time during this pregnancy! I am getting very close, and this morning I lost my mucus plug! Never thought something like that would excite me...
I finally have her room put together, and the house is scrubbed from top to bottom. Now, just waiting (not so patiently) for little Ella to grace us with her presence!!!
I hope everyone is doing well! Keep on trucking ladies, we are almost there!
 
August - you sound very calm and collected. Its the way to be :flower:

Brit - your bump looks great! so perfectly shaped!

Kburt - Hi there :wave: How come you had to move THREE times?? sounds very stressful!

I had my fetal monitoring today. all good. got to hear her heart beat. Back in Thursday, hopefully il get the induction date for next week. I took my last bump pic incase I don't make it!

All my Christmas presents are wrapped and ready to go too. I want to get the Tree up today but it all depends on OH as I physically can't get to the tree thanks to the bump. I just need to move our change table out of the nursery and put up a baby gate in the hall so Keira can't get at it as we are ready to go.

Off topic, but we are planning on naming our little girl Keira. We're still undecided on a middle name. If you don't mind me asking what is your Keira's middle name? :flower:

Her middle name is Loris, after my husbands Grandmother.
 
We still don't have a middle name for Molly; it's driving me mad :wacko: every time we try to find one, the only suitable ones seem to be Rose and Mae, which incidentally, we already used for our other kids :dohh:

OH and I DTD yesterday lunchtime and I had Braxton Hicks every 3 mins, painful a lot of the time, until I went to bed at 10pm. It wasn't worth it at all though; I was so uncomfortable and I couldn't stand up or do anything around the house; ouch! I said to my OH that nothing is worth that pain, unless it actually gets me into labour, so sex may well be off the table now until I'm overdue :haha:
 
I'm the same!! Every time DH and I have sex I get braxton hicks. Thankfully they don't last for too long but they are uncomfortable! Shame my sex drive is so high lately :)
 
Me and dh have always had sex everyday and yes it give me Braxton hicks but does nothing for my cervix
 
I wonder if sex is what caused my painful contractions last week? Normally sex doesn't cause anything but painless contractions but bc I'm getting so big we have had to try different positions and those started after trying a new position. :blush:
 
I had my first painful BH today but hubby is 200kms away so didn't even get to have the pleasure before the pain! :haha:

The nesting has begun ladies - I'm now the proud owner of sparkly kitchen cupboards!
 
Got a lot done yesterday but slacked a little today back to getting everything done tomorrow will even start packin as baby will be here in 10 days getting neurvous
 
With my first I was only half packed when I went into labour with her at 39 weeks. I was scrabbling around between contractions trying to pack the remaining things on my list :haha: I've never been too organised, but in my last pregnancy I was pretty good having everything packed by 36/37 weeks. Baby's bags ready; just mine isn't. I am using her crib as a dumping ground for things I know I need to take, but haven't actually gone through it yet
