Due In May :)

[Sass827]

I hear ya Jary. I feel like my hands are so tied as far as making plans. DH was questioning me last night as to why we don't ave any nb diapers? I told him everyone gave us size 1, which will work if she's 8 lbs. why buy nb if we may not need them? YET another unknown. When will she come? What will she weigh? What will fit, what won't? I'm so not good with surprises.

 

[Jary]

That's the problem. I mean even if baby is fairly small he or she won't be for long so you wonder how much of one size you'll need in clothes or nappies. We've got newborn ones but they look so tiny that I think if our little one is a bit chubby they won't fit! As for clothes I bought 0-3 months instead of only 'newborn' so they look a bit big but we'll get more use out of them that way.

I know it's like in the week mum is visiting and baby hasn't arrived, I'd want to go out and about but then ill be very big and very close to baby drop day so we can't really go far. Although maybe a good walk about night help things along!

Ahh these babies have us wrapped abound their little fingers before they've even arrived!

You 'll probably appreciate the distraction if the baby hasn't arrived so a few nice walks and time with your mum will keep you occupied! Plus walking is good to encourage things along!

I don't have small nappies this time as that me told me it won't be a small baby. Haven't bothered washing Annabelles tiny clothes either! Just have some newborn and 0-3 at the ready.

Thanks for your nice words this morning, I wasn't in a good place! We didn't go to football in the end. My DH had taken today and tomorrow off work to help which is amazing and much needed. Feeling a lot happier by it

Had my midwife appt this morning. Blood pressure was ok today, 140/82 and no protein in my wee. The results came back from mondays sample with no cause for the protein, i.e. no infection or anything. Baby is head down and still free. Bump measuring spot on at 36, and i have gained 1 stone 10 pounds which i am happy with.

Gonna try relax about my BP and hope for best. Im seeing my consultant on Tuesday to get a date and also a scan so be nice to see bubs again.

Happy today as i got the letter offering my son a place at our chosen school yey!

I must be weird because I don't mind the taste of RLT. I got some of the regular RLT yesterday to drink 2-3x a day and my pregnancy tea 1-2x a day. While the pregnancy tea is definitely tastier - i dont mind the RLT at all and I didnt even add sugar or anything!

Good luck today missmummymoo!!!!!! excited to see how things go for you and when bubs will be born can't wait to see pics!

 

[Jary]

Defo Hann! And it's good your DH has got time off work. Hopefully you'll be able to relax a little bit.

Nearly it's best to try put your BP out of your mind...don't need any extra stress to put it up any more!

Watching maternity ward from the US. I feel so lucky to be having a baby with no serious health issues. I feel like crying when I see them come out and they have to go straight to neonates or surgery. What a rough entry into the world! But it's good to see them get better. Shows how resilient babies can be

 

[Hann12]

I know Jary - I mean we might find this last few weeks dragging and we worry about the size of the baby, when it will happen etc but really we are extremely fortunate. That's why I won't succumb to being induced, for me it's not worth risking the birth I want for a few less days in labour versus the pain I'm in

 

[Jary]

Yeah the pain and little worries we have are worth it at the end of the day if we have happy healthy babies

Speaking of healthy, mine is showing me the he or she is very healthy by giving me lots of jabs with feet. Cheers little legs!

Urgh had the worst indigestion I've had for a long time. The type that makes you feel you're holding your breath and you can't relax. And belching hurts. Now I'm lying in bed its eased but damn, it sucks!

I have to get our bags done this weekend still and buy some newborn diapers my son wasn't in them very long but I like the cut out for the cord so well pick up enough for about a week already have size one diapers. didn't have much to buy this time around which was nice got wipes and formula and bottles all the basics tons of onesies and clothes people went onesie crazy at my shower haha. will be so happy to not need to do insulin anymore after baby comes hopefully and constantly testing 7 times a day ugh.

 

[mathgenius33]

I was just thinking, I don't exactly want to be a week late, but so what if I am? I mean it's just a week and we'll still have the baby (kid, adult) for the rest of our lives. It's just something that crossed my mind while thinking about how much I hope the baby's on time.

Dang, 7x a day?! I only have to test 4x a day. That sux hun :/ not too much longer now. Are you being induced really cuz of it?

 

[pinktiara]

Ya its a pain in the butt and insulin 2 different pens in the morning and at night. Im having another c section so It's booked for May 8th!!

 

[Jary]

Love your new avatar pink lovely bump! Why do you need to test 7x per day? Are your blood sugars irregular?

And math I get your point about it being ok if baby is a week late but after the pain I had last night, this baby couldn't come soon enough! Lol

Just had a message from one of my work colleagues...they have my baby shower organised for tomorrow and hoping for a BBQ if the weather stays nice. I remember going to her shower and as they are Filipino they made some traditional food dishes which were to die for! Melt in your mouth kind of food, so I hope they have made some more!

Gonna go get the ingredients to make a Guinness cake. I'm gonna look so responsible going into the shop to buy Guinness with a big bump!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Baby Noah born at 4.32am this morning will update more when we're home. Both doing well x

 

[Jary]

Yay!!!!! Huge huge congrats Miss Mummy Moo!!! Well done

Can't wait to see pics of your cute little bundle!


Just heard a girl from my work who was due the same day as me has just had her baby! Eek! Shows it could happen at any time!

 

[Hann12]

Congratulations missmummymoo! Lovely name too!

Math - best attitude to have is that you plan for a week late as its more than likely going to be late and believe me if you think it's coming before it on your due date and you go over you will without a doubt get annoyed, upset, depressed etc - I know because I felt like that last time hence my attitude now of adding on a week!

 

[Sass827]

Yay mummy! Can't wait for pictures and details. Noah is a fantastic name! Love it.

 

[Powell130]

Big congrats missmummy!! Can't wait for your update && pics of your bundle

 

[mathgenius33]

I'm so happy to hear the news MissMummyMoo. I'm glad everyone is doing well.

Thanks I test before and after every meal because of the GD im sure they should have brought that down but never did lol. I stopped going into the clinics because my numbers have been fine and I don't have someone to watch my son for the 3 hours it takes them to get me in there everytime. 3 weeks to go so ill keep watching my numbers if they start going crazy i will call in and have them adjust my insulin!
