amethyst - in whiston btw an nah im not staying with him. well im on like the next ward to him an can go see him whenever but they dont really like me been there all day so just been going at feeding times and stuff.
hope your car is fixed soon!

tasha - hope demi had a wonderful birthday! x

tomorrow if ollie still cant go home then i might be going without him
if that happens then ill defo get some pics up. dont have many atm though really since i dont want ones of him with the tube in :/
going to actually give him a dummy today (although i always said i wouldnt lol T_T) in the hope that it helps him learn how to suck!
hes tolerating the milk better now, he just doesnt have the energy to feed properly.

btw ladies who are still expecting, expect massive boobies once u have your LOs! xD
mine have gone up a cup over night

anyone whos had thiers and had stitches - how long does it take to heal/stop hurting. i still cant pee properly because its like pissing razors lol. i think its worse now when peeing than giving birth was!

Busy busy day today. My rather beautiful Daughter Willow is 9 today.

Hoping that she doesn't have to share a Birthday with Pickle or that my waters go in the middle of the kids play area or anywhere else we are going today

We have a plan for it... pretend to spill my drink, apologise a lot and attempt to take my 39 week pregnant drippy self out whilst looking not at all pregnant or in labour.

Admittedly it isn't a great plan, but it is a plan none the less

The Birthday girl is on the left and my Eldest (Charlotte) is on the right, lil one (Eliza) is the tiger in my avatar. They are so grown up, I feel so ooooooold They are kinda nice though

Hope you all have a fantastic day

 

[lilgemsy]

aww amethyst, theyre both beautiful girls hope she has a fab day! x

Hope Ollie is doing a lot better, lovey. Don't make them feel like you have to stay away from him though, he is your baby boy and although they have a job to do, so do you!

As for the peeing thing... Noone told me first time around either Get a water bottle with a sports/squeezy type top and pour it over yourself into the loo as you pee. Sounds weird but it really really works.

Hope you are doing OK, Hun, remember to take care of you too

 

[caro103]

happy 9th birthday to your little girl Amethyst , fx'ed 4th LO stays put for today! like the plan though if your waters go...hehe, it'd def fool kids at least!

Gem, hope Ollie gets to go home with you too hun, must be horrible being seperated from him xxx

STILL nothing to report here, getting v frustrated going overdue now! grrr

Good luck today Sam, though hoping things have picked up for you overnight before they induce later! xx

 

[CrazyBird]

Happy birthday to your little girl Amethyst, i bet the two oldest will be good at helping out with a new baby

Hope Demi had a nice Birthday Tasha.

Hope Ollie is with you soon Gem, he's in the right place, can't wait to see some pics.

Hayley i had the same nights sleep as you by the sounds of it, same pains that you describe, all in my pelvis and at the bottom of the bump. It's worrying at times but it must just be bubs engaging more.

Caro it really is frustrating being overdue isn't it? I'm only 3 days over but keep wondering when it will happen, I'm just counting down to when i will be induced which would be the 19th so the way i see it is i only have 9 days left until i meet my boy and if he comes before that then that's a bonus

Good luck today Miss Fox.

We're going out for Sunday Lunch today. Mmm love roast dinners.

 

[happy_hayley]

aww bless ya crazybird hope it is LO heading in the right direction i have an appointment with the obstetrition on monday and they are going to decide on an induction date as wont be going over i just cant wait to meet LO so i guess any sort of pain or discomfort is worth it in the end just not very nice at the time.

Toby is 10 days old now and my stitches arent so bad. I can pee no problem... Sneezing hurts though! I just make sure when I userhe toilet that I lean forward so the stream doesn't touch the stitches as much... Also been drinking lots of water to help dilute it.

So yeah, stitches are bearable but I do get this horrid achy pain, not near my stitches but around my labia on the left. Very uncomfortable to walk or stand too long. Midwife told me to just rest and it should sort itself out.

I actually said to my other half yesterday.. I could do childbirth again, it's the afterpains I don't look forward to!

He's taken Toby to his mums for lunch so I can stay on bedrest. It's nice to have Me Time but already I don't like being away from my little man. I really hope Ollie is discharged soon so you can spend some more time together. It must be horrible waiting

 

[loopy82]

Seeing as it's my last weekend being pregnant thought I'd share my last bump pic and the dress I made for LO.

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday!

 

[Emmy'sMommy]

Great bump and outfit loopy82!!

Hope everyone else is doing well! Good luck Missfox!

Hope Demi had a great birthday Tasha!

Happy birthday to your little girl Amethyst!

Caro- to you..I could only imagine how frustrated i would be going overdue!

As for me.....Im so excited about meeting my little girl tomorrow, but im also terrified of the surgery! I will post a final bump pic when i get back from pre-testing!

Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

 

[Soulshaken]

Hey ladies :wave:

Congrats Gem and Gertrude!! I can't wait to join the mommy club

Loopy - you look great! and that dress is absolutely precious!! love it

to those overdue... i'm heading in that direction myself and it is so frustrating already! I finally got taken out of work on wednesday and now I feel like i'm wasting my maternity leave with no bubs! I'm having BH all the time but nothing that makes me think "this is it!" I've never wished for pain so much in all my life! haha FXD that our LO's get on the ball soon!

 

[Soulshaken]

good luck emmy!! Must be so exciting! (and scary) You are going to do great
