Due in July 2012

[Flagirl]

Mummy- that sounds awful and you have 2 you are taking care of. It must be hard. Rant away. I know it helps bc I've done it..just did it to my dh. I'm tired of it all. We renovated this house and finally got moved back in may 1. But it's still been work going on. It ends officially Monday. Now his parents coming are an issue bc they feel cheated if they don't get atleast 7 days They are NO help at all. His mother had health issues no one knows if they are legitimate or not bc they always change. To be honest, I don't want to pick up after them etc for 7 days and to control how long they stay we are expected to pay for their plane ticket or else they drive and we have no control???? Wrong! I will tell them if I have to. My mom is coming for 3 weeks PERIOD. SHE IS A HUGE HELP. she will keep laundry going and cook and freeze stuff and help with baby some and take care of dogs etc. his parents don't mean to be so unhelpful but they just aren't . They wont do any of that. I'm just irritated already. Then after that his sister and bro in law will want to come. E are very close to them but bacsically it s going to be a revolving door for the next 2.5 months. I don't know if I can stand it. Pisses me off. I wish everyone lived close so they could come for a couple hours and leave. Then come back a few days later and stay a bit and leave. Instead, they all have to move in. Ugh. I wanna escape to an island.
Sorry ok now my rant is over.
I'm almost glad shes not here yet bc I'm on my couch with my husband and no people bothering me! I need to enjoy this while it lasts I guess no matter how miserable physically I am

I don't feel her moving super low. I wish she would get moved down soon and ready.

Kt- we will be thinking about you. Sending good thoughts your way. Yay for your baby boy tomorrow. Congrats in advance

exactly this!!!! I want him here so much, but I am kinda enjoying the calm before the storm that is going to invade my house soon.

Bug and Kt I am thinking about you guys!!!! I can't believe we're starting our babies birthdays. Can't wait to see pictures

 

[Canada8]

[Canada8]

Excited4First any day now!!! whoot shoot!

Claire, you and I are in the same boat....I bet we are the last two to go....lololol

 

[Flagirl]

Canada.....I KNOW but angieloo not too far behind. She said she wants to be last so I'm hoping she can be. LOL just kidding. Her drs the same will let her go until 41 Weeks thank goodness we Dont live In europe bc standard is 42 weeks they let you go unyil 42 no way!!!!!!

I'm not wishing it on anyone. Just wishing everyone the easiest deliverey possible and a healthy baby!!!

 

[angieloo]

Oh my god I would throw a fit at 42 weeks! I'm already pissed about the 41 weeks- could you imagine another month of this? No thanks lol

 

[mummyofgirls]

Oh my god I would throw a fit at 42 weeks! I'm already pissed about the 41 weeks- could you imagine another month of this? No thanks lol

If they let me go 42 weeks I think il go mad!! They dont start inducment over her until the 42nd week majority of the time so if that happens to me . God I pray it doesnt , il have two august babys lol.
My friend was induced the last day of 42 weeks and she ended up being pregnant 43+2 in all!! Apparently the likely hood of still born greatly increases again after 42 weeks xx

 

[Canada8]

42wks!!!! That's another month! shoot me now lol

 

[Excited4First]

Thinking about KT and Bug and anxiously awaiting an update from them!!!

Ditto on not wanting people here. His Dad, brother, and 2 nephews are coming this weekend.. Brother and nephews are supposed to be staying with us. We'll see. Hopefully I go into labor.

I'm not feeling much movement this morning.. starting to really monitor kick counts. Also have a super bad headache.

Mummy, sorry to hear about all those discomforts!! Luckily the end is near and you will be holding your girl shortly.

Like you ladies, I am also enjoying time with OH. Had that meltdown the other day where I just realized, WHOA.... we're going to be parents and our entire lives are going to change. I think about it constantly and cry in bed. Last night was so amazing and romantic and despite my insanely huge tummy, we made love with the same intimacy as before being pregnant (sorry if TMI). It was so sweet that I was crying, but I didn't let him know. I kept thinking, what if this is the last time we will do this before baby? I'm just so freaking emotional, crying now again.. lol

Good morning ladies, hope everyone has a beautiful day.

 

[ktskittle]

Ahhh! Checking in at the hospital!

 

[Flagirl]

Kt. Thinking at you right now. Hope all goes well. I'm sure it will and it will all be worth it when you see him. People keep saying that so you I'll have to let me know if it's true


Mummy- Yes 42 weeks they say placenta is very inefficient bc it's "old" and the babies can be at higher risk. No thanks anyway! I would flip out. Literally or become bed ridden which wouldn't do much good.
My dr said 41 and that's it. They will induce for sure. Actually I'm going to reschedule my last appt for a day when if i haven't had her we can schedule induction for right at 41 weeks. I'm not kidding. Doing it today.

Canada and angieloo we may be the only 3 on here before long bc all others will be moved to other chat!!!!! oh well....

Nothing eventful here. Same thing different day. Her furniture gets here today though. Should be here by 2 and I can really spend some time organizing things and picking out everything's place. I had to wait for these 3 big pieces of firm to get here. There's only 1 storage thing in there now and we got it a while ago at Ikea.

Ok be back soon.

Hugs everyone

Started pitocin and having contractions, but they don't really hurt yet! Midwife coming to break water shortly, and THAT freaks me out!

 

[ktskittle]

I was 3 cm dilated when she broke my water... 80% effaced. My water was meconium stained though.., :-/ Debating about when to get the epidural...

 

[Flagirl]

Yay kt. Progress. What does waters meconium stained mean? I know what me meconium is but don't know what that means......
Epidural.... I've heard they make you love life again.

 

[AngelaSD]

Katie I looooove that ur updating us like this!!! this is so crazy!! How did it feel when they broke your water? That's one thing I've been freaking about too! I heard only 8% of woman's water breaks on their OWN! crazy..u think ur water breaks then it's on, just like the movies...but not so much! Crochet hook here you come ahhhhh!!

Alll our thoughts and prayers with you two today!! *jealous*

I feel like when u first have your baby everyone should just stay away for those first two weeks and let us jut BE with our new little family alone to enjoy it. My mother in law lives in Florida and was suppose to be here in August but we just found out she has breast cancer and has surgery July 20th then radiation so she obviously won't be coming I have all y family here close so they can come and go, I would be pretty irritated with having family out of Towners in and out my door too especially If they were no help if your going to come you going to be "working" lol!

Had my dr apt yesterday, I've made SOME progress, I am 3 ALMOST 4cm dilated and 90 ALMOST 95% effaced. Because being on BP meds she said normally she would want to induce me today but since my BP has been so great she gave me the choice to wait till next Thursday so we chose to wait in HOPES that baby girl comes on her own before then, if not induction day set for July 5th! I'm sooo just ready!! And yeah no way would I want to wait til 42 weeks! Waiting past ur due dates long enough!!

Mummy if I had all those issues I'd be sooo sooo sooo done too!!! I'm so sorry you've been dealing with all of that!

 

[AngelaSD]

And Excited-I am soooo jealous u got some sex lol! My husband wants NOTHING to do with it! He is so freaked out by her being such a lil person in there lol! So...*JEALOUS*

 

[Excited4First]

Yay KT, loving the updates!!! I hope it's all going wonderfully! Can't wait to see pics!

Just got back from the hospital - wasn't feeling baby move at all. Freaked out, cried, etc. Went and they hooked up the fetal monitors and all was well. One perk though, they already filled out my papers that I woulda had to do while in labor. Lol.

Angela - It will probably be the last time in a long time for us!!!

 

[Flagirl]

Ali, I can't get over the awkwardness of the way I feel. We've been having sex pretty regularly up until about 2 weeks ago. It's slowed significantly....to almost nothing. I'm ok with that though bc I just don't feel like myself. But man I wish I did. Bahahahahaha. I'm jealous.

Yes! Kt thanks to you for updating. So neat to know what's going on. I wish I was meeting mine today.

Angelasd July 5. Woo hooo. Maybe you will go before then but atleas you have a d ate if you don't. Y'alls babies will be 3 weeks to a month (kt) if I don't have her until July 2o or ESP if i am late!!!!! Not really that much different but will feel like an eternity. Hopefully you all will have so,e good helpful hints for me atleast I can get something (along with canada and angieloo) out of having to wait so long. Lol.

 

[mummyofgirls]
