hi bubba no.1 xx

 

[bernina]

Congrats Reeds!!!! So very happy for you and your family!!

Welcome Bubba No. 1!!!

I have tons of pressure in my pelvis, started over the weekend. Don't think baby is fully engaged yet, but hopefuly it means she's moving in the right direction.

Friends have described the feeling of an actual head between their legs, so much so that they had to sit differently because of it. If this is what Gem is describing then it sounds like Ollie is probably pretty far down in her pelvis, of course only dr can confirm.

I think I'm going to be so lost for when labor starts as well!! In my head I guess I picture the start of labor for me being similar to what I experience at the start of a period (only way more intense). Getting the runs (or the clear out people talk of), backache, cramps, and of course contractions. So afraid I won't know the difference between false labor and real labor though and will end up in the hospital only to be sent home!

Congrats on the c section date EmmysMummy!!!

Hi bubba no1!
YAY! FOR REEDS!!!! SO EXCITING! I can't wait to see a picture of Gunner!
Spent a couple hours in the ER with DH last night. I got home and after a little while of him complaining of a headache he all of a sudden started crying and puking. We went in and they gave him an IV and some potassium and some pain relief. Poor guy was shaking so bad I was really worried about him. He seems ot be doing better now though which is great.
I also started having BH last night every 5 mins lasting 30-40 seconds. They died off when I got home and I've been having a few this morning but too sleepy to time them. Plus they don't hurt at all. I've got an appointment with my MW in 2 hours so I'm hoping for some progression. Now I've got to work on packing the last of the boxes so we can get a move on with gettin this place cleaned out.

Dana

PS: I want my hair done and body waxed! Souds great right about now! I can't wait for this summer and highlights. Maybe I'll get some shortly after Rosie is here. (My mom is a cosmetologist so it shouldn't be too hard)

 

[MissFox]

Oh and I've been proclaiming to my mom when we're out walking that "IT FEELS LIKE I HAVE A HEAD IN MY PELVIS" She gets a kick out of it.

Also my DH every time I wake up at night and he hears me he shoots up and asks IS THIS IT?
No honey- just going pee.

 

[DanaBump]

i want my eyebrows waxed like woah, just too lazy to do it.

took out my tongue ring last night, decided that a 29 yr old who's married and with children and potential career, looks ridiculous with one of them. plus, i think i've been clenching my jaw at night so the top of my mouth is sore. sad cuz i've had it since i was 18 but i'm using it as a symbol of a new part of my life starting and time to leave the "old" me behind. am i crazy or just getting swept up in the moment?

 

[MissFox]

I don't you're crazy. I want a shorter (shoulder length) mommy do right now. My hair is very long (waiste length) and I've been keeping it like that for a while but I'm contemplating going a big shorter (although I usually do in June but didn't last year). IDK.

 

[DanaBump]

i wanted to do a "mommy" do, but as i'm thinking about it, i want to be able to just throw it up when i need completely out of her grasp. keep it away from her little hands and other things coming out of her, plus if i have to run to the store without a shower i can just throw it up and not look quite so awful.

 

[MissFox]

Yea- I would have to keep it just long enough that I could do that. So probably just past my shoulders- which would still be a good 8 - 9 inches off.

 

[CrazyBird]

Yay another sweet pea is born, well done reeds.

Gertrude you make me chuckle sometimes, you don't take any shit. My oh was worried that I would want my mum at the birth because we're so close but luckily for him I don't as I think giving birth should just be about you and your partner, just my opinion. I would only want my mum at the birth if I didn't have my oh. I will let my family know when labour has started though.

Dana I don't think its a crazy thing to do, I can see why you have taken your tongue ring out. Maybe after baby is here you can put it back in if you feel different with out it.

Gem it sounds like ollie is engaged, I had my mw appointment and she said my bubs is engaged. So excintg. I don't real feel lile his head is in my vagina but I do feel pressure at times.

miss fox hope your oh is ok, you need him better for when you go into labour.

Bernina I think the same, that I won't know when I'm in true labour and will end up at hospital but they will just send me home.

 

[MissFox]

Thanks. My mom kept joking about him being in there. She was like "well, give him a kiss and a tickle for me" and then was like "hey! At least they can just wheel his bed in next to yours!" She was trying ot keep the stress low- worked pretty good too especially once he stopped shaking and crying

 

[bernina]

MissFox, glad DH is feeling better. Long night though.

For the actual delivery I want only DH there. I've told my parents I will give them a call as soon as I'm admitted to the hospital (just in case I go for false labor and am sent home) and knowing them they'll show up right after that phone call but will be good about just popping in for a minute (assuming I'm not at the pushing stage) and then will stay in waiting room until the nurses send for them. I really want that first hour to bond with baby and DH and start breastfeeding but might allow them to come in real quick to see baby and then leave again, still haven't figured that one out. As for in laws they're very respectful and will show up whenever we phone and ask them too.

No news on baby front for me, no braxton hicks, no more plug, nothing! Even made DH have s*x with me last night, nothing! Come on baby!!!

 

[CrazyBird]

Aww bless him, I don't like it when men cry as I cry too. Don't think I have ever seen my oh cry. A lot of men always hide there emotions. Glad I'm not a man as I cry loads sometimes lol

 

[MissFox]

My DH is very in tune with his emotions. Sometimes too much and it is so horrible to watch them cry! Especially from pain!

 

[bernina]

Happy single digits MissFox and CrazyBird (and anyone else due April 7th or sooner!!)

 

[Soulshaken]

Emmy - congrats on the date!! That's my due date Hopefully I will be right there with you!

YAY! another sweet pea! Good job Reeds! Can't wait to see pics!

Gem - definitely sounds like bubs is engaged, i'm a little jealous! although Kinda hoping he engages right before, because waddling around work would be a little ridiculous haha

Miss Fox - glad DH is getting better but hope he improves soon! you need HIM to help out not the other way around! haha ohh men... maybe he just felt a little left out of all the baby drama

Bernina - you're braver than me haha I might have to make DH jump in the sack with me tonight and see if anything gets jump started as well haha I just feel so friggin HUGE right now!

Hope everyone is having a good day!!

 

[MissFox]

Thanks Bernina! Happy 10 days!
Just found out my BIL and his fiancee are having a little girl also! She's about 20-21 weeks. DH is VERY happy since usually his dad's side is all boys and now Rosie will have a cousin that's a girl and close in age (my cousin is also have a girl!)

 

[MissFox]

soulshakin- I've been wondering that! Sometimes it feels like that!!! He's been so sick for the last couple weeks and I can't hlep but wonder if (subconciously) he's been sick because it's his last chance to be sick iykwim?


OMG!! Dh knows how many days left until my due date- just heard him talking to BIL. I had no idea he knew!
