***December Dreamers*** 70 babies born***

[sammiwry]

That's what the midwife from delivery reckons it is from what ive described, it's now just a pink discharge so unless anything happens during the night I'm gonna leave it and see how I feel in the morning an poss go to the day assessment to get checked over

 

[bambikate]

Courtney I reckon your lo will be around 5lb 9!

Probz sammy, im pretty sure he/she wont be overly huge, anything from 5lb upwards would make me happy but who knows.

No-one knows for certain until they are here! I was predicted by about 7 and a half pound and was closer to 9! My brother was predicted to be over 9lb and was 8lb 12 and also 12 days late!

I had a scan at 28 weeks pregnant and got predicted 8lbs and my baby was 10lb 8 1/2oz!!! No where near!

I'm sure baby will be fine hunni xx

 

[bambikate]

I wanna be next!!!!! lol good luck ness and sammi xx

 

[sammiwry]

Haha bambikate, that was my predicted birth weight, but least it was 21 years ago and not drastically far out, but I know what you mean!

I'm in bed about to try and get as much sleep as I can. Think Dh is a bit excited bless him!!

I must say i do like a drink but dident touch a drop while i was pregnant. Iv had a drink once or twice but only a glass of wine so far. Im having a girls night in tomorrow night so im getting a bottle in and OH is going to get up with LO. The one good thing about combi feeding.


I recomend that every one goes out and gets a wrap for their LO's, i went xmas shopping today and put her in the wrap since the pram wont fit in MILs car and it was great with the crowds and walking round the shops. Only downside is you have to carry the shopping

I LOVE my wrap! LO likes the snuggles and with the wrap, people won't try to touch the baby.

I noticed that, with their heads so close to your boobs who would?

 

[Xaviersmom]

I hate it when strangers touch my baby.. so I use the wrap all the time.

I love having a laptop... I have almost mastered nursing LO with my computer on my lap This way, I can read up on you ladies while LO is getting her feed on. The one handed typing isn't quite there yet, but I have lots of time to practice.

So..LO has been home from the hospital for almost 5 weeks now (OMG) and I stopped pumping just after she got home.. I had a bunch stored in the freezer. I am finally almost out of my back stock. DH has been taking a late night feed every couple days to help me get some sleep. I need to start pumping again.. especially if I plan on going out to dinner for New Years. I'd like to be able to have a couple drinks with dinner without feeling too guilty

Lozzy was it you talking about not eating/drinking enough? I keep 2 bottles of water and some crackers on a table next to where I nurse her. I have a couple packs of crackers with peanut butter near by as well. I have a glider rocker with a foot stool and a snuggly blanket to do my nursing in. With my legs up, I can place my snacks or laptop just beyond LO.

I love multi tasking

 

[Nessicle]

I've decided not to time any contractions or remotely get excited til I'm shouting in agony I just refuse to believe its gonna happen!

HE'S AN IDIOT! HE'S AN IDIOT! HE'S AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aaaaaargh! sorry for the rant, but i'm feeling like hitting something otherwise & i don't want to hurt myself.

so, this morning FOB apparently drove by the apartment and left a gift bag with 4 newborn size outfits (2 of them that say something about "daddy loves me" and "my heart belongs to daddy") in front of the door. he then informed me by text message and e-mail about this bag and wrote again to let him know what i need... i kinda thought it's supposed to be another sign of him coming around.

well, since i've been really frustrated about not progressing birth wise & having this new worry of costs for the hospital exams, i finally wrote him "a book" on my worries - not having the money to stay home more than 2 weeks after baby, due to him not having paid half of birth center costs, not having healed properly by then, not being able to express at work therefore not being able to keep milk supply up and and and.... not even talking about how it'll feel to leave my 2 week old baby behind... WTF!!!!!!!

i didn't accuse him of anything, just basically stated my worries, even let him know the hospital exam days and just generally stated that i would have at least a little less worries if i had the $2.000.- in my bank account, that i would have, if everything had gone according to how it was planned in the beginning.

well, to that "book" e-mail he didn't reply, but an hour ago, he had as his google-mail status that he's headed out to get some wine and now he put his status to "chatting with a hottie"

WHAT AN IDIOT!

i sooooo feel like texting him something about that. it's not like i could lose something over being bitchy.

grrrrrrrrrr!

 

[Mizze]

Sammi - hope this is the start of something for you!!

Hope it's your show Sammi! One of us deserves a baby this weekend! Everything stopped for me again feeling bloody fed up would rather not have this everyday then at least I can't be disappointed everyday! Glad I didnt say anything on FB I'd have felt a right plonka!!

Glass of wine for me sod it!!

Aw Ness - bless. Sorry for you being overdue.

OMG - Cannot believe how old Juliet is!! Wow. Also major respect on being so organised. I had forgotten a bit about a wrap but really need to have a proper think about it again and get one.

Aw Minch - id have been hitting the hardware shops for a nice big axe by now, dont mess with the pregnant woman...

What an idiot.

Sorry we cant be of more help.

Mizze xx

 

[Mizze]

Bah its 4am I cant sleep, DH is snoring so I have removed myself in case I accidentally strangle him The lights fuse has blown so I cant read and the heartburn has kicked off

BAH!!!!!!

Mizze xx

 

[Mincholada]

thanks mizze!!!!

i DID send him something in response to that, couldn't withstand and he got all apologetic and that he only put that up there as some random shit... yeah right, whatever! i had me a good cry (not even that brought on labor! ) and when i came back to the computer he was all "worried" because i was gone for several minutes and asked if he should come over....

yeah sure, if you wanna be axed!? mizze's idea...

haven't seen him since 2. september, certainly don't need to see him when i just had a hormonal cry with 41 weeks pregnant! not pretty!


that's the one good thing about being on my own, btw! NOBODY THAT SNORES in my ear. i feel your pain hope you get some nap-time later on!!!

well, officially one week over due in 15 minutes over here. chances of my parents actually meeting LO are getting quite small... well, 4 more days of trying to evict that madame!

 

[mummyclo]

YEY!! Its snowing and im not in hospital!

 

[sammiwry]

Thanks girls! Woken up to period pain and back pain and tmi when I wipe it's still brown tinged so reckon in a little while when I get up properly I'll ring the day assessment unit.

My mate from work is apparantly in labour but baby is breech, knew shed have her baby before me

 

[sammiwry]

YEY!! Its snowing and im not in hospital!

Noo I don't want it to keep snowing we never went and got the new battery for the clio

 

[Nessicle]

Sammi it's still looking way better for you than me I think Madden will be here by Monday!

I had nothing in the night but starts with some cervix pain - not like earlier in the week but more tolerable - and some really strong tightenings that feel pressured in my bum but nothing painful!

OH Is really annoying me at the moment too he keeps trying to be funny by insulting me and I'm not only crying all the time but I'm so irritable when will he learn?! Glad he's off to work today!

I also look awful atm my face is so puffy and drained and i feel like a whale never felt so unattractive!

Aw Minch what an arsehole I seriously don't know how youre coping he doesn't deserve to be called Daddy by the sounds of it!x

 

[Nessicle]

We've got a light layer of snow but hoping that's all we get I hate the stuff!

Mizze I'm so glad my OH doesnt snore - he does steal the sheets constantly though and he'd switched the heating timer off this morning so it's soo cold!

 

[Nut_Shake]

I have come to the conclusion that I will never sleep again. By the time one is fed, winded, changed and settled, the other one starts up. I'm so exhausted, they especially take AGES to settle at night which is so bloody difficult when its cold and dark and you just want to stay asleep in your warm bed!
Rant over.

Hope everyone is ok xxxx

 

[Nessicle]

It must be extra hard with two Nat but you will get into a quicker and easier routine soon enough Xx

 

[sammiwry]

Ness I reckon if he's gonna arrive without being induced it'll be Monday have thought it for a few weeks now. We shall see.
