Just remembered I need to put our labour buddy's no.s in my phone!

Sonia/lilahbear/ blossom- do any of you have whats app on your phone? It would just make it easier to send a pic

I've been so forgetful lately, I am glad I've already mailed out my secret santa!! I know they will get there a bit early.. but better early than forgetting to mail them out in time!!!

Re keeping the placenta: I had wanted to keep it with my daughter and plant it under a tree for her, but ended up in the hospital and things happened so fast I wasn't able to tell them that, so they threw it away. I will be keeping it this time, but as we still don't have running water here, I will be encapsulating it and taking the caps instead of planting a tree over it. I would be devastated if the tree died due to lack of water.

And PM me if you'd like to pair up to be labor buddies.. that way I can send you my cell number.

Going for a massage in an hour..cant freakin wait...hubby got it as a gift that he gave to me at the shower! Dnt know what id do without him..in fact im not even syre how he even puts up with me lol

 

[La Mere]

Oh, Nikki.. that sounds sooo nice!! I'm a bit envious...

Jrow- dont worry about not taking classes... your motherly instincts will kick in plus any questions you have the nurses show you everything you need to know about taking care of your baby anyways after he is born, so no worries! Really the only things i did learn from the class i took was they went over the process of labor and delivery which was nice so i wasnt surpised when they take him away for medical reasons, or what not and to expect how often the nurses will come in etc to check on me and baby. Also, your "birth plan" is the same as mine! I want to do it naturally and if the pain gets to much, im not stupid... GIVE ME THE DRUGS! Its a pain iv never felt so i dunno what to expect so im keeping my options open. Tell your hubby what you decided is your birth plan, so back off!

Nik- sorry your sick, yuck! I am glad i didnt have to deal with that at all, i hope all my pregnancies are like this one!

Re in-laws, I don't really have any. My father in law passed away before we were married and my mother in law had a massive stroke a few months before that, and has been wheelchair bound in a convelescent home. Sometimes I wish I had in laws.

I hate to say it, but I am wishing away the rest of this pregnancy. I am so miserable with this pneumonia - the coughing, the pain, the trouble breathing. I feel like I can handle one at a time - either being sick, or being pregnant - but not both.

My in laws are great and never want to impose. Regardless the hospital only allows 2 visitors at a time in the room throughout our stay. They also recommend no one visit in the first three hours so you and dh can bond with baby. They are extremely pro bf and rooming in, etc and really stand by that bonding time. Dh already told his family. I think my parents will have a harder time with it bc it's their first grandchild but they will understand as well.

I took hubby to a bf class and he actually really liked it. He found it really interesting and informational and thanked me afterward because he was glad he went!

Working on my secret Santa gift this week!!

I am wishing away mine as well. I am not in the same awful position of being sick but the SPD has reached intolerable levels. I'm ready to rip my pelvis out. I can only hope that the pneumonia gets out quickly. I can't even imagine putting up with a cold much less pneumonia. Try and rest and keep hydrated. Hopefully these last days will go by quickly and you will have and be feeling better.

OH's parents are both dead and his siblings overseas so no in law drama for us. He only speaks to his full brother and not his half siblings back in Wales. I think its why he insisted my parents be around and my mum in with us for the birth, he misses having family around a lot. My mother and i have recently patched up a rocky relationship so I think he is trying to bond us lol.
Time is flying too quickly! I have been sewing like crazy but realised yesterday we now have everything we need I think for the first few months, even nappies I bought discounted in bulk. Baby shopping is complete and bags packed!

[Kaiecee]

With the in laws I'm sure that by the time I'm ok to go back to my room after the cesarian my mil might b there cuz I have a feeling dh is now getting neurvous and might b scared to b alone without me with baby but I hope that passes lol

Ill be posting when I go in hospital but since my hospital has no wifi and I cut my phone cuz I never really use it ill be posting updates only once I'm home cuz dh doesn't know how to do anything really on computer lol and ill post pics on fb

In other news, I just walked into the photocopier at work as i forgot i stick out so much these days...

I always judge a space to see if I can fit thru.

My inlaws practically ran in the room after I had DD. My MIL begged me for weeks to let her in. And seriously to listen to a near 50 year old woman beg is the most pathetic sound I've ever heard. I kept telling her no and she just wouldn't get it. Finally she took me as serious and stopped asking. I had DD at 10:30 at night and my inlaws didn't leave until 2am. Definitely speak up because I didn't and this time, they may have a rude awakening with me. I was exhausted and DH and I had no time to enjoy DD not to mention that they stayed for so long I thought I would never get any sleep. They were all piling up in the room before pushing and I was just so tired of all the dang people. This time I told DH we may not even call them until after she is born because I just can't deal with all that again.

The hospital staff is usually pretty good tell them if you don't want visitors. You and baby are their concern and most don't have a problem telling people to take a hike.

OMG my MIL's comment on my status on facebook is so annoying. THANK YOU for correcting me and telling me that my OH wasn't a tall baby... my status was a fucking joke... she's sooo annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd restrict her so she can't comment.
