December Rainbow Babies!!! Congrats New Mom scoobydrlp PINK!

[Leliana]

Congratulations Krippy! He is GORGEOUS! Wow, what a lovely pic! I'm so happy for you

Well, something is happening for me. I'm not sure what but my Braxtons have suddenly developed a weird period pain type feeling with them. They are currently irregular but I'm having a fair few an hour now and this morning they were between 6 and 10 minutes apart. It's not painful per se but it's definitely more than uncomfortable. Also, TMI, but I feel like I need a poo and nothing is coming out!

Who knows if it will develop though? This could last for days but hopefully it is the start of something...

Omg totally sounds like you're starting!!! Jealous! Hope it developes quickly for you and baby arrives soon!xx

 

[Leliana]

Thanks honey! It's slow progress though, I'm still off to my Mum's for my roast dinner in a bit lol. Can't be missing out on that!!

 

[grenouille]

Ohhhh Leliana I'm super jealous!! But also really excited!

 

[katestar53]

Congrats Krippy!!

Mighty Mom, I LOVE the name you've chosen! If ours was a boy we had decided on Colton. And Jacob has been my favorite boy name for years!

Congratulations krippy. Raif is adoreable!!! Hope you are recovering well.

Kate, thanks for your post. I have been getting myself so worked up about the possibility of a section but I am gradually getting used to the idea. Some people were scaremongering saying I would be housebound for 2 months and not even able to pick up the baby initially but you have put my mind at rest a bit. 10 days to go but I wish it was this week instead. Glad you are recovering so well. Hope Harvey is behaving for you. L x

Thanks scooby! We had picked that name over a year ago when I first got pregnant after DD. It was an instant yes from both of us, which is rare. And now we'll have Colton and Caitlin and I kind of like the aliteration.

I agree, they sound great together! If we ever do have a boy I think we would use Colton, which also goes great with Camden!

 

[MightyMom]

Totally! I love the name Camden Reese (I think I've told you that before!). Can't wait until she's here!!

Leliana my labor with DD started out just like that. I think you may be 24 hours from your LO!

 

[Leliana]

Well, they started coming regularly - every 10 minutes and then overnight every 8/9 minutes, increasing in intensity. I was kept awake with it til 4.30am and then woke again at 6am and they are just gone. I am gutted. I really can't face this going on and on plus I feel mega guilty because hubby is off work for me

 

[grenouille]

How disappointing, Leliana! Hope the contractions come back soon.

I'm so ready for this baby to come out. Had to get up twice last night to use the washroom, and I couldn't fall asleep after cause my whole body aches and my belly feels soooooo heavy. I feel like I just can't rest! I've been up since 5:30 AM

 

[Leliana]

Thanks honey. It is disappointing but I am trying not to obsess over it. She has to come out eventually! It's just not at all the way I imagined labour. I thought I'd get a lot of pain very quickly, not this stop start thing. *fingers crossed*

I so know what you mean about feeling heavy. It takes so long to do anything and the night is the worst of all!

 

[grenouille]

Have you been drinking a lot of water? My friend went into false labour, made it to the hospital (during a snow storm!) and was sent back home. She said it's because she was dehydrated.

Now I make sure I drink lots of water because the hospital is a long drive from here!

Congratulations Krippy! Raif is absolutely beautiful. So happy that he is here safe.

Leliana, I got so excited when I read back and seen your first post. Then I read back and seen your second post and sorry to hear your still hanging in there, I think things sound like they are progressing though for you. I'll keep checking in for updates.

 

[Leliana]

Thanks sweetie! It's been an odd day really. Feeling a bit down about the whole thing but at least another day is over and I'm one step closer to her. Still quite crampy but no contractions for some time now. We shall see

 

[crancherry]

Congrats Krippy!!! How exciting, beautiful boy

Grenouille - I feel the same, SOOO heavy and unwieldy, turning over in bed is a massive operation now. I got up to pee at 3:30 this morning and never could fall back asleep; I guess I woke up OH too so finally at 5:30 we decided to forget trying to sleep and just get up. Most nights feel like that now.

I keep waiting for something to happen and just don't notice anything different. I am having the braxton-hicks fairly frequently and my boobs are sore again, but that's been off and on for the last few weeks now. My due date is Saturday and I have family coming into town the following Monday-Thurs that I only see every few years, if that. I was really hoping they would be able to meet the newest family member but I have a feeling it's just not going to happen by then :/ Now I am starting to fear I will have to be induced again which was really a horrible experience for me before

On a positive note, we finally got the carpet installed so I am starting to get the nursery put together. At least something to take my mind off all the WAITING...

Happy labor wishes to everyone as we start going one by one!!!

 

[MightyMom]

Oi!! I am just on pins and needles for you ladies!

 

[Nitengale]

So happy for you Krippy! Hope you and LO are well!

 

[grenouille]

I had my "last" prenatal appointment this morning. I'm only 1 cm dilated and the doctor said my cervix is still pretty high. I'm scheduled to get induced on dec 10th... I really hope I go into labour naturally before then but I have a feeling that's not going to happen...

She also said that if they are busy that morning in the maternity ward they will send me back home and reschedule for the next morning! I really hope that will not happen! We have to be there for 7:30 in the morning, and the hospital is an hour from here! I know I will not get much sleep that night...
