Darling buds of May and June bugs!

[moggi]

Yeah i've had a few more but i'm not taking too much notice of them, its been hours since they woke me up so i doubt they'll come to anything but i suppose it could be a very slow start (trying to think positively lol). Probably so slow i'll still be here in the same situation monday. I fancy a curry tonight so see if that has any effect. XxX

Hi ladies

How are you all? Sounds like everyone is starting to get some positive symptoms!! Hopefully all these girls get a move on! I know our lazy boys decided they couldn't wait any longer. I hope Leanne gets out of hospital soon so she can get some rest, she must be shattered!!

Rose good idea, get a hot curry tonight and see if that helps get things started!

Is everyone enjoying the sunshine or is it too uncomfortable? I'm bad enough just now, I think if I was still pregnant hubby would divorce me I would be so grumpy

I can't believe its been 2 weeks already for me. Just think next weekend pregnancy will be a distant memory for everyone and we will all be admiring our new babies xxxx

 

[moggi]

Hiya Suze I've never been a sun worshipper but i can hardly stand to be out in it Putting the washing out is bad enough lol. I love hot curries anyway so its unlikely to work but even if it doesn't i've satisfied one of my cravings Yeah leanne must be sooo tired, i was like that after i had Emma. Hows your lovely little baby doing? XxX

 

[meganOUFC]

2 weeks!! I can't believe it! Indy must me getting big too!! I wonder how Brandy is????

Hey Suze, how's Connor doing? Can't believe he's 2 weeks old already! Is he sleeping and feeding ok? The weather is lovely but very uncomfortable. Just been to H&M though who I've just discovered have a brilliant maternity summer section and got myself some floaty dresses and tops so I'm feeling much cooler in them. Plus they're the type that float out from under your bust so I can still use them after baby gets here as they don't look too maternity like.

Leanne must be exhausted, hope she gets out today. Can't wait for next weekend, if it's still nice weather I'm going to sit in the garden with a nice iced bottle of wine and my gorgeous baby

 

[moggi]

Next weekend would be when it looks like i'll be induced so i might have to wait until the following weekend to be enjoying not being pregnant. The end is in sight though XxX ps, those dresses sound nice x

 

[minidancer]

I know I can't believe where the last 2 weeks have gone either. Pregnancy seems like a distant memory though!

Nicola those clothes sound lovely, perfect for this weather! Connor is good, he is very laid back, just eats and sleeps and settles really quickly at night so can't ask for more than that. We are sitting out in the garden just now and he is fast asleep under the parasol, loving being out in the fresh air.

Yes Rose, feed your cravings while you have them and you can. I must say it is amazing not having heartburn anymore and being able to eat anything.

Nicola sound like a good plan to sit out with a nice cold alcoholic drink next weekend!! I have some Jacques fruit cider chilling in the fridge for later.

I know, I wonder how brandy and baby Zoey are, hope we hear soon xx

 

[meganOUFC]

Just rub it in LOL, mind you , I did have a non-alcoholic becks the other day and it hit the spot

 

[minidancer]

I know, sorry I really shouldn't tell you things like that, especially in this weather! Never mind, not long and we will all be enjoying a wee alcoholic beverage xx

 

[moggi]

I could do with an alcoholic drink right now. My youngest daughter is treating me like crap. Told her to come home as she was out drinking vodka with undesirables and now shes home i'm just getti g a torrent of abuse from her. I'm not rising to it obviously but deep down its hurting, kids eh?! Plus these pains have kept coming, so i'm here trying to decide whether it really is the start of something witn an arsey silly girl acting the idiot. XxX

 

[gypsy1981]

Hmm that's interesting, I came on here as I had a feeling you were going to have baby Isobelle tonight so wanted to check if there were any updates. Are the pains getting more intense/frequent?

How old is your daughter? Bet she's full of apologies in the morning when she's sobered up!

 

[minidancer]

Oh no Rose, not what you need right now!! Maybe go for a nice relaxing bath and see if but helps xx

 

[moggi]

She can be just like her father sometimes, Shes gone off out with her friend now. I wanted to ground her but to be brutally honest i don't want her around right now. Shes 15 and a half, i don't think shes going back to the undesirables, probably just walking the streets sagging me off. My eldest daughter told me there was a sucession of nasty comments about me posted by her on bbm. Pathetic isn't it? Anyway, had similar probs with eldest daughter a few years ago, kind of why i was hoping for a boy this time lol but they come witn their own set of issues too don't they? Lol. As for pains, i can't work them out. They start at the front then wraparound the back where they kind of linger. Some worse than others, its as if they're trying to even out but are varying in length and space between them. Some are lasting 40-50 seconds others around 25 and they can be as close as 5 mins or as spaced as 10 so i'm not going to clock watch anymore. I'll go to bed in a bit and if they're real they'll soon let me know. Do feel a bit nervous though and its probably all a false alarm! XxX

 

[minidancer]

Aw Rose, I'm sure your daughter will be sorry tomorrow for all the trouble! Your pains do sound promising, especially radiating to your back. I really hope it's the start of something for you xxx

 

[moggi]

Yes she'll be sorry when she next wants something off me, she'll be nice as pie then. I'm not sure about these pains, they've been going on since early this morning and haven't really progressed much. They have altered a bit and got more painful but i'm not convinced they'll develop into much more. They aren't the same as the bh's so that makes me wonders. I'll prob be one of those that goes on like this for days XxX

 

[minidancer]

Ooh Rose I'm getting excited for you! Especially if they are different to your bh. I had started contracting on the Friday afternoon, but they didn't really amount to anything and then my waters broke on Sunday morning. Hopefully they start getting more regular and painful for you and then you will know for sure. Xxx

 

[moggi]

I'll keep you posted anyway. I'm pretty sure i'll wake up in the morning and they'll have completely disappeared lol. XxX

 

[moggi]

I'm still here but so are the pains, haven't got much worse but do hurt and are still regular and kept waking me up. I don't know whats going on? Suze, were yours constant from the friday till your waters went? Going to have another bath see if that helps. So frustrating! XxX

 

[BrandysBabies]

Hey ladies! I am so very very sorry that I didnt update throughout the last couple of days. It was pretty nerve wracking. Miss Zoey Mae Taylor came into the world at 10:45am on Wednesday the 23rd. I gave birth to a 3 month old!! She weighed in at 10lb 10oz!?!?!?!? The c-section went very well (will write birth story later). Zoey was born screaming and we got immediate skin to skin in recovery and I got to breast feed. Such an amazing bonding time. Then the took her to do their test and found that she was not transitioning well. She would forget to breath and her blood sugar kept dropping really low so she went to NICU for 2 days with a feeding tube and living in the little oxygen tent. They then had to intro her to formula because My milk hadnt dropped yet and her sugars weren't maintaining. I was so upset but we are working at the breast now that we are home plus my milk has come in so I am pumping like a mad woman and producing enough now that Zoey is no longer on formula. Anyway, we are home and doing well and loving life. Here she is!!

 

[moggi]

Awww brandy, she's lovely congratulations! Glad you're home now and all is well XxX
