Due In May :)

[Hann12]

Thanks Hann, I hope that's the case but I've also heard that babies don't thrive well if they are overdue.

I really hope baby does more growing in the next 3 weeks as I'd like to have more of a bump when we see friends for a Xmas meal! Some we haven't seen since we announced our pregnancy. I do have a permanent bump when I lie down now tho so we're getting there

I think thats only if they go really overdue. Theres also a lot of arguments that say that you shouldn't induce before they are ready as they do a lot of brain development in those final weeks and when they are ready (its very clever) they send a message to your body to start the labour process. Thats why in general (in this country) you won't get scheduled for a c section before 39 weeks unless a big medical reason because they want the baby to be fully developed and ready to come out. That being said going too overdue (12+ days) can be bad which is why they induce at that point. But in general most people don't get to that. Its very true I think that the baby comes when its ready and developed properly to come out.

Oh yeah baby's defo come when they are ready. I think I was indecisive and started mums labour two weeks early but then put her in 3 days of pain!

For the moment I just want baby to be happy and healthy soooo looking forward to kicks and somersaults!

He is SO excited! He was jumping up and down in the room. I wish I could have recorded his reaction, it was priceless! We could tell it was a boy before she even told us. The potty shot was the first thing that popped up on the screen and it was COMPLETELY obvious lol

I'm really excited for you Powell. I've still got 2 more weeks to wait.

I just noticed something. The US lady said that they don't measure size or anything but does the machine do it automatically? I noticed a "12cm" in the top right corner and Googled that as CRL and it fits for my dates. Could this be my baby's size?

 

[Jary]

Aww I love the thumb sucking pic! So clear too. It's so weird to think there's a little person/people growing in us all. Or is that just me? Weird in a good way tho.

We've still got 3 weeks 4 days to go for our scan and I'm so excited to see baby again

Felt some more flutters earlier and it was defo baby.

Happy December everybody!! When is everyone putting up Xmas decs? We will today hopefully. Was going to do it yesterday but our tree has lost it's legs

Yeah think it will be. The lady told me that shes measuring 10cm CRL which is normal but below average. So 12 is about right

My christmas tree and decorations went up yesterday!

So tired. Hubby went out and my youngest was up all night cryinf. I think hes teething again. Need matchsticks for my eyes today

 

[Powell130]

We put most of our lights up last weekend but still have a few things to put up that we're doing today. I'm not sure if we're doing a tree this year since my sweet puppy kept knocking over the tree last year haha

 

[Jary]

We've just gone and bought two new trees. One big one for the lounge and one small one to go in the middle window of the flat. Decorated the banisters and put a wreath on the door

Powell I remember when our dog had his first Xmas and we had to keep watching that he didn't steal any of the decorations hehe. Later on he started to figure out that one present was for him each year. He'd sniff it out and then lie next to it while looking at us then back to the present. We taught him to leave something that wasn't his so he waits until we tell him to get it

 

[Powell130]

awe that's so cute!! ...our little sh!t ate glass ornaments last year

 

[Jary]

Ouchy! Was he ok??

Ozzie gets upset if something hurts his mouth. He barks and growls at it.

He was naughty one Xmas when I had gone to the kitchen to get me and my uncle a cup of tea and left some Jaffa cakes on the sofa (unwrapped box) when I came back a few mind later the whole packet was gone.

Ahh the joy of doggys! Gotta love em tho. Being away from home I miss Ozzie (he's with my mum) especially cause when you ask he gives you hugs

 

[shellgirl]

My pups get confused by a tree being in the house and lift their leg to it! We just got our floors refinished, so we'll be doing an artificial one this year. I'm going to miss the fresh tree smell so much!

 

[Jary]

Aww bless! I'm glad Ozzie didn't do that lol

 

[prolifer]

We've done our decorations already, as DD couldn't wait!!

I've been having trouble sleeping lately because I found a video online and heaps of people had written on it to do not ever watch it - so of course I had to watch it and now I am freaked out and soooooo wish I hadn't

I think it was called 3 guys one hammer and I am so wishing I had just clicked the close tab on it now!!!
