Hey, spencerbear!

How is James doing? So glad he is back out of scbu.

And how are you doing - it cant have been an easy few days.

Mizze xx

He looks a bit like an oompa loompa but otherwise seems good. I spent days just crying but the nurses on scbu are fantastic and the support they offer is amazing which helps lots.

 

[Mizze]

Aw hunny You have him home with you now.

Just read your birth story, your 2nd and 3rd stages were really short - wow.

Mizze x

 

[xkirstyx]

[Nessicle]

Thanks guys tightenings and pains calmed down in the night but started agilan this morning so think it'll go on like this for a good few days but I'm happy with that!

Had the best nights sleep I've had in a while courtesy of cocodamol lol!

Kirsty any progress?

I reckon Charlotte has had Dylan just not had chance to update yet!

Mizze I've had crunchy nut yummy!

Spencer wow what a great second stage! Must have been pretty scary having him whisked away to SCBU so glad he's better now!

 

[xkirstyx]

been having alot stronger pains this morning but calmed down again for now xxx

 

[Mizze]

Morning Ness - lovely to see you so positive - you have started your evicion!!

I think you might be right about Charlotte

Well ive been up since 5! Was going to get cracking and do a Tesco shop etc but DH has come over all Victorian Husband and banned me from going out and falling over - never mind that I actually fell INSIDE the house yesterday I have been commanded to just stay in. Wouldnt mind but we have snow coming later which means I will definately be housebound for a couple of days after! Ah well - I can cope with another day in if it gives him peace of mind! I have presents to wrap and cards to write, yoga dvd as well as other things so I will have plenty to do.

noooo its snowing again its ment to be really bad today and tomorrow i panic coz my OH works an hour away and if my labour kicks off might take ages to get back and he has his xmas night out 2night

 

[Nessicle]

Fx they pick up Kirsty! After that internal last night I'm not surprised you don't want to be induced and would rather it happen on it's own before then - that was soooo painful and the woman had tiny fingers!!

Aw Mizze bless him - your forecasted quite a bit of snow there aren't you? I'm hoping we only get a little dusting rather than all that snow we had before! Defo feeling positive cosmicemgot confirmation something is starting and it's not all in my head lol xx

 

[xkirstyx]

lol ness how do u think i felt having a guy do it! felt like his whole are was up me awell! he said he would of induced me this week but coz my cervix was closed he didnt want me to get induced for it not to work to be sent home then do it all again! just really hope the pains pick up!

 

[Nessicle]

My god ive no idea how painful that must have been! I kept thinking about ducky too when I was having it done cos I know a bloke did her internal!

I'm still gonna have the Mw come on Monday for the sweep I've got booked just in case I'm not in full labour least then I'll know what progress I've made!

Hope your pains kick in and become regular really soon hun xx

 

[Mizze]

Kirsty - are they better prepared for the snow with you? FX'd

We get it so rarely we are PANTS - Not just my beloved employer the Council (just had a letter from them telling me all my terms and conditions including my holiday entitlement will change!) but all of us individuals run round like headless chickens when the snow comes yelling PANIC!! - Honestly that really is what it feels like.

Ness we are supposed to get snow from tonight till Saturday night - how much we will get where I live is debatable because although I live quite high up we are still very near the sea so it does tend to much less than what they get even 5 miles further inland. Having looked at the long range forecast we are likely to have got rid of it all by the start of next week and probably wont get it again before she is due. Still in a bit of a worry though - typical.

Lovely to know its all started - I know what you mean you do get to a stage when you think labour will NEVER actually happen and you will just stay pregnant forever! Im at that stage at the moment!

Mizze xx

 

[xkirstyx]

yeah its not to bed here the main roads are fine just the street is a pain and we still have over a foot of snow from the other week that has turned to ice! there was a few probs trying to get bread and milk aswell but nuffin to really worry about

 

[Nessicle]

Eek well hopefully you won't get it too bad or it clears before Caitlyn arrives!

Yeah you do feel like it's never going to happen for sure - I think I was indespair cos of the pain and not sleeping and it felt like I must have been imagining it all! I'm wondering if all the pain I've been having is cos my cervix is behind her head??

 

[xkirstyx]

pains are getting pretty sore now but still coming at random times just wish they would pick up!!!!!!

That's a great sign still Kirsty, when I went into labour with Izzy my contractions / cramps were quite irregular and I thought oh this can't be it then! Then all of a sudden it got regular and that was that!

Just got back from a walk around the block and sipping on a raspberry leaf tea - ahhhh xx

 

[xkirstyx]

really hope they do pick up! im just gona make my last rlt now so baby gotta come coz ill have non left lol

 

[Mizze]

Ness you might well be right about why you had all the pain

Kirsty - good luck with the pains -and teh snow!

We are lucky enough to have a cost cutter just off our street - its having a refurb at the moment though so there is less in htere than normal but usually its a pretty good shop. Bread and milk should be okay - not that it will come to anything here - the last time we had serious snow that cut people off in the villages was over 30 years ago when I was in junior school - of course then we loved it cos the school pipes burst and the schools were closed for 2 weeks after the christmas holidays - I remember it as a brilliant time - sledging on trays, no school, roaming around the village waist deep in the stuff. My mother remembers - no boiler (it broke) so our only source of heat was the gas fire in the lounge, all of us going through all of our outdoor clothes which she couldnt get dry, kids and husband constantly underfoot and not enough food cos we only had a tiny shop in the village which couldnt be re-stocked!

I would imagine Id find it a bit different at 38 than I did at 8!

Mizze xx

Fx Kirsty! Midwife told me lots of hot baths and gym ball so get cracking
