Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

So I guess Finn didn't want 12/12/12 for a birthday? I hope you are still coping the best you can and getting some rest!

TV, drink something sugary then lay on your left side for an hour. You should get 10 kicks in that time, if not go get checked. Most likely your little one is just resting up, but better safe than sorry!

Finn turned. Don't know when. Even dr thought he was still transverse. Lol so could be anytime. Head still not engaged. But he is down. He is also 7lbs and measuring 38+5. Lol so hopefully he comes sooner or I may wind up with a csection anyway.

Thanks all for the support. Still having contractions but now maybe they will do something

 

[moter98]

Oh great news mail!!!!! Will they let you go natural now, like no section?

 

[mailcmm]

No section unless he gets really big. Still having lots of contractions. Was actually timing again tonight. Had 12 in one hour. Then they let up and we are back to every 10 minutes or so. I am really thinking it will be next week. Dh however was going to sleep in his clothes tonight. I think I talked him out of it. Lol

Bill/Belle (Billy for A boy Annabelle for girl) moved a bit more yesterday evening and this morning so just think it was having a quiet time or just in a position i dont feel as much?

 

[mailcmm]

Tv it is quite normal for them to not move around so much sometimes. Dr told me if we ever have less movement to drink a coke and lay down.

Afm... I believe Finn has engaged. He's definitely dropped. I got my boobs back. Lol today I have to get this place finished. Fauxmas is tomorrow. I also have to bring cocoa to the kids school the afternoon. My daughter said I wasn't bringing it as she asked the magic 8 ball if we would have the baby today and it said yes. Ah to be 10! Lol

 

[Twinkie210]

Don't have that baby on the side of the highway! LOL

I love that your DH wanted to sleep in his clothes Does he think Finn is going to pop out the minute you go into labor? I love first time Dads!

Like I said on FB, I think as long as you don't go too close to your due date you will have a nice 8lb baby Nice healthy size. But I wouldn't go by your other pregnancy's. I thought for sure that Liam would be early and I even was dilated to a 3 10 days before my c-section and the little booger decided he was comfy where he was. He is the complete opposite of his brother, except for looks LOL.

 

[moter98]

Engaged already mail? Could be any day now. Exciting!

 

[mailcmm]

I hope it could be any day now. Ready to see my boy. They said he has hair. Couldn't tell us if its a lot or a little but definitely there. Cleaning like a mad woman today. Everything needs one perfect for tomorrow. 36 wks today.

 

[moter98]

I hope he arrives soon

I'm totally ready to have mine, I'm so uncomfortable I can't sleep longer than an hour at a time. And baby is gonna at least double in size yet! It's gonna be a long next few weeks

 

[Twinkie210]

Motor- he is going to double in size, but at least he will run out of room to stretch and kick I can't wait to see the new little babies!

 

[Twinkie210]

Little guy is a bottomless pit! He is now drinking 8oz bottles and 2.5 months old! He is out growing some of his 3-6 month clothes and I am considering washing up some of his 6-9 month already. I really thought he would be wearing this stuff longer LOL. Some of his 6-9 month clothes are short sets! I don't think he will be wearing these in Jan and Feb!

 

[moter98]

I already feel like there's no more room in there lol

Sounds like you've got a good eater Twinkie. You may have to pick up some 6-9 winter outfits. Kohls always has great deals, especially if you get the 30% off coupon combined with sale prices.

 

[MightyMom]

UGH. Had an awful couple of days. Hadn't felt Colton move since Tuesday and nothing seemed to rouse him. Ate sugary brownies, oatmeal, pasta, spicy food, everything that usally gets him kicking: nothing. I even drank a cup of coffee yesterday, not one little kick. I was beside myself with worry about a cord accident, I found myself sobbing in the bathroom for 30 minutes. Finally I made the 90 minute drive to the ER to find out once and for all. If all was well, better not to be worried. If not, better to find out right away. Well all that worry was for NOTHING. They brought the doppler in and his heart was pounding away! More sobbing combined with laughter and hiccups, some kind of strange explosion of emotions of relief. I seriously need to invest in a darn doppler now because I could have saved myself 6 hours and a sleepless night. They ordered an ultrasound, so I got to see him very briefly (no pics though). Of course he decided to kick the u/s wand, and wouldn't stay still at all. "Absence of fetal movement, suuuuure" I'm sure they were thinking. Little bugger had me worried sick! So I got back at 3am and had to wake at 6am for work. I am so exhausted now I think I'm going to lay in bed for the rest of the day and maybe take a nap. Just had some spaghetti, Colton very much approved.

So much progress! He's turned, engaged, *and* contractions? That sounds like a recipe for labor if I ever heard one....

I think it'll be sometime next week... hope Fauxmas goes well tomorrow!! Maybe you'll after all the "festivities" you'll get your final little present

 

[Twinkie210]

Mighty- sounds like you have a very sneaky little boy in there I am glad everything was good. And don't feel silly. I am friends with a couple L&D nurses and they say that they would rather you come into the hospital and it be nothing than to stay at home and have something bad happen (she scolded me for waiting for 3 days before going in with preterm contractions-seemed like braxton hicks to me!). One of my friends said that they will have the same lady come in 2-3 times a week sometimes. You are so early still, I be he was just laying in a position that you couldn't feel him move yet.

 

[MightyMom]

Yeah it turns out he spun head down facing my back. So he's kicking, I just can't feel it.

 

[mailcmm]

Mighty... You must have been so scared. So glad all was ok. I got my Doppler cheap. Just get one. You won't regret it. That being said you should get checked because less movement can be a problem sometimes. But at least you would have know he was ok.

Afm... Fauxmas was a success. I am exhausted. Finn is killing me. Hopefully I am dilating and by the end of this week he will be here. I am beyond uncomfortable. Moter... I feel ya but just you wait! Lol

 

[moter98]

Oh don't say that mail lol
It's this darn breathlessness. Just want to breathe without even thinking about it. And it feels like there is a body part permanently stuck in my upper right side. Just uncomfortable to matter what I do! I don't even want to think about how much worse its gonna get
