[Scally]

Good morning,

How is everyone?

Saw on your status Sarah that you had another bad night, you really need Logan to come now, u'll probably sleep more!

I am off to a childrens birthday party today, feel like I want to wear a mask! lol, really do not want to catch anything 2 days before c section! lol. They might find me in the corner trying not to interact with any of them! haha!

Morning!

Not doing to bad, had quite a nice long sleep for a change last night . Reimi being a bum again today (always happens at w/e!) so now trying to prod and poke her . Would like to try and get some gardening done today but its really drizzly where I am - bloody typical as it was nice yesterday.

Hope you manage to get some sleep during the day Sarah to make up for lack of last night. Ive never watched midnight-am tv before this pregnancy but I know the tv guide now. Shouldnt be long huni till you have Logan in your arms

Time, how are you getting on now? Anymore niggles? X

Kellie, hope being a new mum is treating you well!

Scally, definitely keep away from them lurgy kids, lol. Only weekend to go then you'll also have your LO ~ seems very unreal, its all happening so suddenly! X

 

[ttc_lolly]

Oh no Ally, stay as far away from those little germ infesters as possible

It's really grey and drizzly here today too wanted to take Amber for a walk but she's outgrown her wellies and I don't fancy getting wet! Will have to think up some indoor activites we can do. Might bake another cake (I was baking cakes at gone 8pm last night!).

Sarah, hope you got some more sleep I wasn't too bad last night although my pelvis is killing today and I remember tossing and turning loads last night, I was just so exhausted though that I did manage some half decent sleep.

How's Oliver Kellie? Hope everything is going well x

 

[Scally]

She is a monkey isnt she? My little madam had a day like that yesterday, i did the doppler twice and mentioned it at the pre op, shes already a little more active today.

My god dont do any gardening! u mad thing! I think the drizzle is your excuse not to!

It does all seems so unreal, i keep looking at the moses basket etc thinking its going to be used soon!

[Scally]

I am impressed with the baking Lauryn! What did you make? I am sure Amber would love to do some more baking rather than out in the rain!

[Sarahcake]

Thanks ladies last night was just awful. We didn't go sleep til half 12 as it was then to be awake between half 2 and half 6 just plan sucks! I think you may be right ally to be honest, I likely will get more sleep when he's out than when he's in!! Seems crazy but anything has to be better than nights like last night.

I hope your party goes well and no viruses are contracted lol! Just breath through a cloth whilst your there, you may look slightly insane to the others though...lol! 2 days to go!!! So exciting

Glad you got a good nights sleep Inoue you really do feel like you've achieved something awesome when it happens Don't you lol! Hope reimi shifts herself from where she is! Last thing you need is uncomfortable baby positioning, especially if you do end up gardening!

Today is a day of tip runs and Moses basket mattress buying for the basket our friends sent up for us! Fun times!

 

[Inoue]

Hum...... Baking.... *drool*. I made some gooey brownies yesterday and ate 3 . There so lush!!

My front gardens really annoying me, ive been at DH to get it done for months (weed front border/lay plum stones & feature bushes need a top haircut) so I was planning in us BOTH going out there and getting it done once and for all. Women need to take control!! .

I can feel minor movements now im layed on my side, im sure some cold OJ will get her going when I can be bothered to get up! Lol x

 

[ttc_lolly]

I made a sticky ginger cake yesterday, and am planning on making a bakewell tart, possibly today but that might be a bit fiddly for Amber so might just stick with a sponge of some sort instead. Overwhelming urge to bake is crazy, you had this too didn't you Ally?! I must be nesting because I don't usually bake, I prefer cooking and just buying in our puds!

 

[Scally]

I had a baking mad few days too Lauryn! it all sounds very yummy and is making me drool!

Grrrr to your OH Inoue! I had been asking Dave to clean our windows for weeks and finally gave up and did it myself! lol

He has been great this morning, he has been doing loads whilst i'm sat here most of the time ordering him around! lol

Inoue- i am just eating an ice pop as madam has gone really quiet again! Hopefully this will get her shifting a bit!

[kellie_w]

Hi everyone!

Ally, I think I would definately be wearing a mask! Don't worry, nothing is going to stop you now. 2 more days! Have fun today, enjoy your last weekend of just three of you!

Inoue, glad to see you are getting some movements now, I would go for the gardening, I scrubbed all my downstairs floors, polished, window cleaned etc the morning my waters broke. Maybe it will get reimi moving! Glad to see you got a good nights sleep, make the most of any you can get now!

Sarah, I really feel for you! Logan needs to come out now so mummy can get some sleep! Enjoy getting your Moses basket bits, try and get some more sleep through today

Lauryn, awwwww I want cake!! Make some extra and stick them in the freezer for when baby is here. Good luck trying to entertain amber indoors all day. Wet days seem to go on forever!

Hi pops and time, hope you both are well x

I'm feeling a lot better today. Had a few real big cries yesterday at the thought of doing this all on my own when oh goes back to work, and feeling sorry for Luke for not being the centre of attention 24/7 now. Sure 48 hours of no sleep contributed to the emotions though. Not feeling as sore today either, pain in my legs from pushing is gone, found if I pee in the shower leaning forward it only stings briefly after and even the bleeding is slowing which is amazing! Oliver is awesome, sleeps all day, awake most of the night! I have literally no milk or colostrum now coming through, my midwife will be here soon so I need to ask her what to do but I am trying still, offering breast and when ollie gets upset at not getting nothing having to resort to formula he had 5 awful nappies last night which makes me so sad cos I know it's the formula that's doing it. He was held all day yesterday, which is probably why he didn't want to sleep in his Moses basket on his own so today we are putting him down more. Luke finally showed some interest when we were doing a nappy change and realised that baby had toes AND a willy like him!

Hurry up babies!!! X

 

[ttc_lolly]

Awww Kellie keep offering him the breast as much as you can as it'll stimulate milk production, I hope your milk comes in soon. You could try eating oats and fenugreek too as these are said to be great for milk production. I hope your MW can help. Have you had a look in your area for any la leche league or BF support workers too? xx

 

[Inoue]

Hope your ice pop worked Scally! I went for a really long walk around town centre and Reimi kept sticking her foot out so she's doing ok. We all just seem constantly on guard, either monitoring movements or looking for signs of labour

Kellie, sory to hear your milks not coming in. Please dont feel bad for it, it just happens sometimes. Guess just see what mw says but formula is a good substitute so try not to get too upset about it .

Xx

 

[Sarahcake]

Definately want to echo what Inoue has said Kellie, please do not feel bad if your milk just doesn't want to come through. It just happens sometimes and whilst I know you wanted to breast feed, formula is a good substitute and he's still getting fed and all the love he could wish for

Awesome that Luke is getting more involved now too, I did laugh when you said he's realised he has a willy too bless him! Really glad that some of the discomfort and stingyness (totally a word) is disappearing too

Today has been a right shitter so far, was so happy about getting the Moses basket mattress sorted and the bedding finally got then some daft old cow nearly kills me, Logan and Neil. I'm on my phone so ill not re write it but its on my Facebook status. Beware of harsh language though lol!

Hope we are all having a much better day than we are

Btw, Lauryn ill take one of them cakes please

 

[Inoue]

Just saw your msg on FB Sarah. There are some right nutters on the road these days, absolutely no care for anyone elce or even themselves. We had a near miss at 20 weeks and that was bad enough, at 38+ that can send you over the edge. It gets my blood boiling when I see poor/stupid drivers, humans shouldn't be behind machines if they have no respect for what kind of damage they could insinuate. Has Logan moved much since the scare? x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Your milk will come in Kellie, it just takes time mine didn't come in until day 3 with Amber I think but I just kept putting her to the breast and pumped colustrum every couple of hours. You won't get much colustrum but it's really thick and concentrated and full of goodness

Can't beleive that old wench almost hit your car Sarah, I'd have gone totally ape shit. Well done for you & your OH remaining calm though x

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah Logan's been moving fine thanks He went a bit quiet so had some lucozade when I got in and he's been shifting about no problem since.

It was so close, honestly there was barely 2 mm's in it between our car and hers I have no idea how she didnt see us then to not even look at us when it happened nor when Neil stopped and yelled that she could have killed us. It's her grandkids I feel for, there was absolutely no regard for their safety there at all They must have only been about 5 or 6 too poor things

Neil didnt really stay calm, he got out and went up to her window shouting but he litterally just said you could have killed our son, my pregnant girlfriend and I and then went back to the car. Hes not an easy one to put the frighteners on but he was shaking all the way home and on the verge of tears bless him

But yeah, were ok now Was just a bit of a shock. If I ever see her again mind, ill not be responsible for my actions.

 

[Scally]

Sarah- you poor thing, that sounds horrendous, why oh why do these people not realise what they are doing? Such a stupid mistake cost people their lives! Sometimes i think our car is invisible! I am glad Logan is moving ok.

Kellie- huge hugs, 48 hours with no sleep will make you tearful, you will be great after your OH goes back to work, Luke will love having a brother, they will be partners in crime before you know it!
As for your milk mine came in in day 3, hopefully yours will come in soon. Has the MW been out to you? what did she say? There is nothing wrong with formula whatsoever, keep topping him up with it and trying with the breastfeeding- i am sure it'll come in soon.
Inoue- glad Reimi is moving ok, i have felt madam a bit this afternoon, she's definitely not as violent anymore though!

I went to the party, so much snotty children! lol. We must have looked so paranoid we both had anti bac in our pockets and kept doing our hands and Izzy's!

Come on babies- i think today would be such a great date of birth- 10.11.12- come on u ladies eat your curries etc!

x

 

[ttc_lolly]

My friend said that to me yesterday Ally, today would be an awesome D.O.B! Definitely no baby coming out of me today, although have had a lot of BH and sharp twinges but they've all come to nothing and haven't had one in a while. Sigh...!

 

[haydenmummy]

[Inoue]

Hi haydenmummy . Hope your doing ok, not long now!
