[Jadey-x]

Yeah my mum is helping me out this week as I still can't drive!

Any new signs of labour cymrublonde?

How is everyone?

Xx

 

[Cymrublonde]

Glad you have your mum for support.
How are you all getting on?

No signs at all this end to report.... My husband is so excited, I think he's getting impatient bless him! Lol. Still having cramps daily bit they're not painful at all. Not sure if I'll just wake up to them being painful one morning/day ?

Xxxxx

 

[Jadey-x]

Are you overdue now? Might be a christmas baby!!

Can't believe its xmas in a week.. Not even quite finished my shopping yet, its come soooo quick this year!

Xx

 

[Cymrublonde]

I am only two days overdue.... Was due Sunday so hopefully it'll come just before weekend so we can be somewhat settled for Christmas.

I'd be so happy if it was before or after and not over Christmas.

What are your plans for Christmas?

Hey ladies! How are you? Jade- I'm truly enjoying motherhood. I can't believe how much I love him. Just trying to adjust his schedule so that he can sleep more during the night. RIght now i'm trying to wake him every 2 hours during the day. He does this thing at 1am where he stays awake for 1-2 hours- wide awake! Any tips?? Also I just started pumping today and tried giving him a bottle he didn't want it! I hope he gets the hang of it because I have to return to work in March.

Cymrublonde- I hope your little one comes soon!

join the 1am club!! currently wheeling lo around the living room in her stroller after a feed. she ate the lot, looked "milk drunk" and sleepy, put her down and because its not quite 2am yet she's wide wake again. at least she's not screaming.

 

[Jadey-x]

Cymrublonde - yeah, would be nice to have baby in the next couple of days in time to be home and ready for xmas, any new signs of anything happening yet? When are you seeing the midwife again?

Julia - my LO is different every night atm, got no routine established as yet, but tonight she's been wide awake since her 11 o clock feed n its now almost half 1 & I'm just feeding her again, she breifly settled a min ago but think she was gettin hungry again.. I'm so tired! My older daughter keeps hearing us and getting up in the night n really playing me up at times. Its tough, but I did expect it to be harder if I'm honest

Kittikat - congrats on the birth of your little girl! Hope she's letting you get some sleep hehe

Xx

 

[Cymrublonde]

Congratulations again girls on the births of your babies!!
Sounds like you're all settling in and finding your feet really well.

I saw the midwife yesterday and had a sweep.
I think it was quite positive. She could feel baby's head and said that she felt more than last midwife at my first sweep or it has improved. She was able to give a really good sweep. She said my cervix was soft and 2cm long, 1cm dilated and good and that it may work zxxxx

 

[babyfeva]

Jade- I can't imagine how you're able to manage 2 little ones! You're super woman. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one going through this. My son woke up almost every hour last night from 12 to almost 5am! My hubby finally took over since I just started pumping and has helped me a lot. I managed to sleep almost 4 hours straight.


Cymrublonde- I'm excited for you. I think your little one will be here soon!

 

[Cymrublonde]

Sounds like you're coping/adapting really well babyfeva.

Thank you very much, I hope you're right xxxx

 

[Jadey-x]

Cymrublonde - that's great, sounds really positive! I hope it helped and kick starts labour really soon for you! Can't wait to hear that you've had baby

Julia - it is really tough at times.. Just having a bit of a rough patch with Casey getting up in the night, hoping it will pass soon, but she loves her little sister & is great with her so that's lovely to see

I'm actually formula feeding now. I breastfed in the hospital but then I was getting horrendously sore and I couldn't take the pain of it.. The same happened with Casey actually. I made the decision to switch to formula because breadtfeeding was getting me in a state. A happy, relaxed mum makes ALL the difference in my opinion. She's got a slight tongue tie so that can't have helped anyway, and now she has thrush, bless her

Had little hayley weighed today, she's 9lb 4oz today! She was only 8lb last week, lol, little chunk. She is feeding well though.

Just waiting for her to drift off to sleep now, OH is having a cuddle and I'm just chilling out on the sofa atm. Can't wait for bed!!

Xx

 

[Cymrublonde]

Thank you jadey, I really appreciate that.
I have had cramps tonight but they've stopped so don't think anything will happen unless I get woken up in the night! Lol.

Ah you have done well and I think you're right, there's an awful lot to be said for a happy and content mum!!
Hope you have a good night with your girls tonight.
Xxxx

 

[Jadey-x]

Ooooh exciting! Definately a good sign that you're starting to feel the cramps!

Aww thanks yeah I hope Casey stays in bed tonight bless her, just up feeding Hayley at the moment but that's often when ill suddenly hear Casey up out of her bed.. Fingers crossed anyway

Omg I love my little girls so much! Can't believe how quick christmas has crept up this year though! Ahh. I'm really looking forward to it though

Anyone got any plans for the weekend?

Xx

 

[Cymrublonde]

The cramps have gone so looks like they unfortunately aren't coming to anything.
Feels hard waiting some days.....

How did last night go for you?

It's my bampas birthday tonorrow and he is coming to my parents with my aunty and uncle so well see them and not many other plans.
How about you? Xxxx

 

[Jadey-x]

Nevermind, just a little preparation for your body then I suppose! You never know, they could come back at any point.

The last days of waiting are really tough aren't they, I remember with Casey I went 2 weeks overdue and never actually went into natural labour, was induced at hospital.. But everyday after my due date felt like an absolute lifetime!! I know you're probably bored of people saying it, but just enjoy sleeping at night while you still can! Hehe.

Aww that sounds nice hope you all have a lovely day

Ill be getting my last minute christmas shopping, then out for dinner with my mum and her partener on sunday afternoons we're having christmas dinner at OH's mums this year.

Last night Casey didn't get up once, so that was brilliant! However, hayley was wide awake both times she was up for feeding.. So I spent a total of 3hours through the night trying to settle her, that was quite hard, but got 5 hours of sleep in, better than nothing!

Still can't believe I have TWO kids!! Lol

Xx

 

[Cymrublonde]

Thank you chick and you are right they could come back as get stronger at anytime, have had some again this morning and do most days so that can only be a good thing.

I am listening to people when they advise that and am
Sleeping in when I can in the mornings etc. Making most of that before its gone!! he he.

Last night sounds like a good night, well done!!

Your weekend sounds nice too and your Christmas day. I bet you're looking forward to the weekend now and spending time with family.

Xxxx

 

[Jadey-x]

I'm so looking forward to xmas this year! 3 more sleeps! (Well, as much sleep as I can cram in 3 days, hehe)

Hayley slept really well last night! Was lovely.

I miss driving

Xx

 

[Cymrublonde]

It will be such a special Christmas for you all this year.

I had my term plus appointment yesterday. Baby was very active, she said its a wriggler!!! Lol. Didn't have a sweep as midwife felt it was only two days since I had one and there was an improvement in the second from the first. Booked for an induction on 28th december if haven't gone before then. Xxxx

 

[Jadey-x]

Good luck with everything! Exciting! Are you pleased to have an induction date now? So hopefully by next week, LO will be here! Yey

Xx

 

[Cymrublonde]

Thank you chick!! I am yeah, I also feel better after the appointment and the induction being explained in full.

As you say we will meet our baby by next weekend. That's the way to look at it now. xxxx
