Thank you Sam for updating. Abbygael Leeann Marie was born 4-13-2011 at 317pm via emergency c section weighing 7 lbs 1 oz and 19.5 inches long. I'll get pics updated later as we did manage to grab computer. Were so in love! How I made something so beautiful I just don't know.

Cath, Jazzy - Congratulations! We have little folks popping out left right and centre now

Dana - Takes your breath away doesn't it? Congrats Hun, hope you are feeling well.

Ah thanks Gem, just a really crap day that wasn't needed. Fingers crossed that tomorrow... <looks at time> today is better.

Glad that Ollie has started to pick up, even if he was caught out napping for his last feed. Sounds like he is really getting the hang of it now, not long till he will be home with you

As requested... pic of Gem's little Ollie looking ever so gorgeous with his big eyes open:

He's beautiful! What lovely eyes!
I have hardly any pics of Toby with his eyes wide open... Must work on that.

I'm having a rough time at the mo. DF is still sleeping in his pre-baby routine... ie 10 or 11 til 6:30am. He sleeps through Tobys crying then gets up and goes to work meaning I don't really get a break. Tobys has had a funny tummy so he's been impossible to settle so i just havent slept at all. To all you single mums out there... So much respect. I honestly don't know how you do it.

I have just noticed I am under 27th when i am due 26th and also I am team...BLUE! x
Thanks x

 

[babybefore30]

Congratulations to the girls who have had their babies. Gem Ollie is gorgeous especialy those beautiful eyes.

Feel a little bit excited today I had a couple of contractions last night nothing like I have ever felt before so am hoping that this is the start of something even if it does take a week, I spent yesterday drinking rasperry leaf tea and bouncing on the ball so will be doing the same today. xx

 

[SazzleR]

Congrats Cath, Jazzy & Dana.

I'm still here with absolute nothing to report MW this aft for a check up & sweep so really really hoping that kick starts something.

I'm also going to ask them about when I'd be booked in for induction. They'll let me go 12 days over but that'd be Easter Sunday so can't see them doing it then. I just need to know what the longest possible is that I have to wait to meet our bubs! x

 

[chocojen]

Congratulations Cath, Jessop and Dana....flipping heck these babies are flying out now!!! Hope its my turn soon! Although they have now decided I am not overdue until I go over the 26th...wish they would make there mind up on my due date!!!! It has changed about 4 times now! Oh well, I am trying not to focus on it too much just want an april baby!

[babybefore30]

Chocojen I want an April baby to. Can I ask why they keep changing your due date?

 

[AmethystDream]

I was in bed, Gem! Just couldn't sleep. Hope Ollie took his feed this morning

Well I'm trying to figure some things out here whilst hoping that the little guy decides that today will be the day. Would go and sit on OHs gym ball but I have this terrible image of me sitting on it and rolling off like a giant weeble

Pickle has gone quite quiet, which is only to be expected at this stage but still a little unnerving. Will keep a good track of what he is up to to keep reassured, I think.

In the meantime I am absolutely starving and seriously considering eating the entire planet. If the earth starts to shift slightly to one side, nay panic, I have just altered it's gravitation pull by munching on it

 

[lilgemsy]

jen, they kept changing mine too. annoying or what! fx'd your LO pops out before april ends though x

Amethyst - try holding onto the bed or couch while you use the ball so you dont fall off!
when i used mine i put my back against something and bounced and it helped!

Ollie is a superstar! 44ml bottle all taken from the bottle! no tube!
however it took alot of encouragement and massaging his mouth so still not excellent but its still an improvement.
so proud right now lol.

Congrats to all the new mummys!!

Cottleston i totally understand how you feel hun. My OH doesnt help with night feeds either so i have the 2 babys to do who wake every 3 hrs. Demi is having a rough time sleeping too with teething so im also up with her and then jaimee gets up at the crack of dawn resulting in a knackerd mummy.Harley suffers with his wind too so is very hard to settle after a feed, im lucky to get 3 hrs sleep a night.

Glad Ollie is taking his feeds better Gem hope you can get him home soon, think ive got a touch of the baby blues too i feel soo guilty for feeling so upset all the time when ive got the most beautiful babies. I think its just the tiredness getting me down.

Ill update the front page later when the kids are in bed, ive currently got Harley feeding in my arms, Ruby next to me in the boppy and Demi hanging off my leg trying to squeeze on my lap too. Good job im good at multitasking.

[chocojen]

baby before, my dares make me due on the 19th, when I first had a scan they said it was the 31st then they did another scan and decided it was due on the 26th which is what they had been going off! When I had to have an extra scan because bump was too big they decided that he is due on the 19th and my bump measures perfectly for that however they are now deciding to go off the 26th again as the 12 week scan is most accurate!

 

[CrazyBird]

Congrats dana, jazzy and cath x x x

I had my sweep today and I'm now 2cm dilated. Yay! The mw said I should go into labour by the weekend. Really hope so, if not I will be induced on Monday

ollie didnt wake for his last feed so they tubed it all. they pulled the sticky thing off his face and left a nasty big red mark poor baby.
