Early 30's TTC #1

[MsJMouse]

Amelia arrived a week early at 39wks exactly. Two days after my birthday so dh is joking it will make it easier to remember our birthdays. Going home from hospital today - just waiting to see the paediatrician before we go to make sure he is happy with how Amelia is going.

 

[mrsmax]

yay didnt realise you still in hos;pital. how are you and amelia doing ? i am up feeding eva and have her in right arm so typiung with left hand so scuse bad spelling etc.
i am so excitef we both had girls -i cant wait to hit the shops to some cool girlie gear. team yellow was definitely the right choice so exciting the moment we found out - although dh thught the cord was willy and said it was a boy so midwofe had to correct him.

Did you stick to your original name? amelia is sch a grgeous name- would have been high on my list but my niece is amellia so would have been a bit confusing.

anyways, will go over to your journal shortly, but eva just come off. sending you all lots of love and look forward to an update when you back home

 

[MsJMouse]

Yeah my DH also thought boy cause of the cord but he waited till Ob announced sex.

Amelia was our original choice. Such a perfect name for her.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Oh MsJ how come you're still in hospital? How was the birth? Knew you were early, at least no waiting around on maternity lol. Can't wait to hear both your birth stories!

I love both the names, funny 2 of my names are Evie & Amelie - both close!

at mrsmax & her one handed typing!

Did either of you have a sense you were having a girl?

[MrsPTTC]

P.s mrsmax Next have some gorgeous girls clothes at the minute!

 

[MsJMouse]

The hospital I went to likes to keep you in for about 4days after a natural birth just to make sure you and the baby are okay. Also to make sure breast feeding is established if you are going to bf.

I posted a brief post about the birth in my journal. But once I have time to sit at a computer rather than one handed on a phone I will post my birth story properly.

Happy to be home

 

[MrsPTTC]

Wow that seems a long time msJ, but good they're looking after you & made sure she was feeding ok. Think our hospital lets you go after about 6hrs if all ok! will have to check out your journal x

 

[mrsmax]

:wave: Hi ladies - it has been a while since anyone posted here. Hoep everyone is doing ok - MrsP - not long now!! Regal - how you doing? Aisak - how's it going? Jogu - do you ever check back here? Hope you are doing ok if you do. Crumbs - how is it being a mummy? Miss you all!!

All my other ladies - sending you loads of love

ps have just posted my brth story in my journal if anyone wants a read (warning - it is LONG!!!)

 

[MrsPTTC]

Hi mrsmax, will check out your birth story when I have more time but hope it doesn't scare me!

I had mw appt yesterday & bump only grown 1cm in 3 weeks so I'm going for a growth scan later. It was a different mw to normal so she said it could be as they measure differently but can't take any chances DH is worried but I've tried to reassure him its just a precaution & growth scans are quite common. Will report back later x

 

[MsJMouse]

MrsP - I have read that if baby is in a different position it can change the way your bump measures so fx'd its all good. Yay you get to see your little one again.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks msj, all is well, weighing estimated 5lb9 at the minute & expected to be around 7 or 8lb mark at birth. Hope its no bigger ha ha! Not sure if she dropped a clanger, she mentioned 'she' but this was before she'd gone down that end, & when she did go down she said we could look as we couldn't see anything anyway, so maybe it was a slip of the tongue, most people call it he or she rather than it, maybe she just thought its face looked like an she ha ha. It was frowning lol. Will upload pic at weekend x

 

[mrsmax]

yay - so pleased all ok. Must have been scary though - althogh quite common and sounds like s/he is going to be a nice healthy weight look forward to seeing the pics.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Cheers mrsmax, but you know it's like an optical illusion, I can't make it out properly anymore! x

 

[MsJMouse]

So pleased everything is okay MrsP. Good weight as well. Can't believe that you only have 34 days left. I swear this year is just flying by.

 

[pink80]

Glad everything is ok MrsP

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks ladies. Pink, missed you! How's little Zach doing?? Oh my MsJ I've been counting in weeks not days, only 34 days you say?!

I've had my first wobble today - a girl came into work with her baby and I had cuddle and I just didn't feel maternal!! My friends all said when they first found out they were pregnant they thought for a split second whether they'd done the right thing, I never had that until today and it's far too late for such silly thoughts!!! Maybe it's the whole newborn thing as lets face it they don't do a lot until they're a few months old. I'm sure I'll be fine with our little beauty we've created! x

 

[MsJMouse]

I am sure you will be fine. I had quite a few moments like that when pregnant especially with all the things that happened with my family. I am loving being a mum. Its hard work especially when A starts crying and I can't work out why but so worth it. I can't wait till she is old enough to start really interacting with us

 

[mrsmax]

I had a couple of moments like that - it is totally normal it is just that as LTTcers we feel guilty for having those thoughts as we wanted to be pregnant soooo much!! However, as MsJ says - being a mum is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will love it I am sure

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks ladies x

 

[MrsPTTC]

How are we all ladies? Miss you guys x
