ive been trying to figure out how to post the pic of ollie off my facebook onto here but i really dunno how to do it on this thing. cant copy and paste

[BrandiCanucks]

Still nothing here, but my midwife did say she thinks I'll go between 38 and 39 weeks. 38 weeks today so here's hoping!!

 

[AmethystDream]

Caro, ohh hope you are doing OK and it all goes smoothly.

MissFox - How flipping cute! You must be chuffed to bits with her.

Dana, yay to no pain! Sending positive thoughts your way.

Bernina, how lovely she is! I'm very jealous of you girls who are getting to hug your wee ones.

Gem, how is Ollie today? Did he manage to take much at his last feed? Tried a ducker yet? If you want me to post a pic of Ollie off Facebook let me know and which one and I can put it up for you, if you like?

Lots of crying here today, been a pretty bad day so far. OH has just gone to collect the older ones from school so I can have a bit of peace and quiet to get myself together. Why does everything seem so bloody difficult at the moment?

 

[babybefore30]

Aww Amethyst it is crappy isnt I had a day like that yesterday it all gets a bit much sometimes. Sending you lot

 

[MissFox]

Morning ladies! Thanks! I'm doing so much better now. I'm going to do a birthstory when I'm home and feelong a little better. Serenity Rose was born 4/11/11 at 11:21pm via csection. I was doing great got an epi at almost 8cm and they maxed the pitocin and my epidural stopped working. I thought I was going to die. When I decided to get the csection (no pain relief was working- and it felt like my pelvis was about to explode) the epi didn't numb me. They tried a spinal but it also wouldn't numb my belly so I had to be put under general anesthia to deliver. I made it 12+ hours of contractions and my original epidural only worked for 1 hour of it. I did damn well lol. When I woke up the nurse said there was no way baby would have fit since she was back to back and her chord was around her neck. Dr said that why I kept starting labor and it would stop and that she looked as if she was "done cooking" a couple weeks ago.
Good luck to all of you in labor! Hope it goes well!!
Rosie is at 4.5 hrs of sleeping! She latched first try and she is doing so amazing with feeding that all the nurses are surprised! She will feed for one to 2 hrs at a time! And she sleeps pretty good too- but last night she needed to sleep on my chest to stay asleep but whatever- I got 4 hrs straight lol

 

[DanaBump]

Epi's are the best thing on earth. Just sayin.

 

[lyndsey37]

also if you could post one of his pics for me then that would be fantastic! any will do, thanks! x

ollies last feed was appauling. he didnt even wake up for it. i tried everything to wake him but he was out like a light.
however, ill let him off this once as hes been a superstar today!
3 times today he has taken 20ml by bottle and had the remaining 24ml tubed.
and once today he took a fantastic 38/44ml!
AND hes taken to sucking on a dummy!
hoping he keeps it up and improves a little more so i have him home before i know it!
