January Jellybeans 2013!...

[mellywelly]

You lot have been super chatty today, do much to catch up on!!

I've got the quinny zapp xtra with maxicozy car seat, think it's a cabriofix?

Job wise, I work for a local charity, we work with victims of domestic abuse and their children.

I went into the office today, I'm not allowed in the refuge as a child has an infection thats harmful when pg, and had loads of balloons round my desk and flowers
! It's my last day tomorrow but also got s gift from them, which I will open when dh comes back from work.

 

[Lilahbear]

We have the mamas and papas sola buggy and pram and the maxicosy cabriofix car seat.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

I actually know plenty of ladies that had their first babies around their 37 weeks! How exciting!!

 

[brieri1]

My Bumgenius and Flip diapers came today!!! I am such a nerd for being so excited about diapers!

Now I have all the cloth diapers I am starting with. Been waiting to wash the stash until I had all of them. EEEEEE!!!

I totally understand. I'm super psyched about my cloth diapers too.

 

[La Mere]

Lol, I had Rayven at 41+1 weeks. Hoping this little one doesn't wait that long

 

[DittyByrd]

I also received an Advent calendar I ordered for the family. I was so excited for this because it is so unique and beautiful. I am going to wrap it and put it under the tree for DH to open even though it will be tagged for Baby.

 

[sassy_mom]

Glad I haven't sealed up my secret santa envelope yet. I found one more thing I'm stashing in there!

Me at exactly 37 weeks

 

[brieri1]

I need Lilah to hold off until at least 37 weeks because the midwife won't deliver me before then, but any time after, let her come. My sister in law just had a boy that was 9 pounds 12 ounces and 22 1/2 inches long and she was exactly one week late. I'm not sure I want to risk having a baby that big, lol.

Whew! That is a big baby!

This is all becoming very real to me, also!! We are finally getting settled at our new home and I was orgainzing and putting away baby's clothes. I've been so blessed to receive tons of nice hand me downs from my sisters and best friend, who have had daughters in the past couple years. Some of them still have the tags on them! Baby girl is set for clothes for at least a year and a half!!
I think most of you know this, but I'm a labor and delivery nurse. I miss it and most of my coworkers so much already.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Has anyone else noticed a huge increase in cervical mucus? Mine is approach uncontrollable,
Sorry!

Yes, liners help. I had to buy the 'almost pads' liners Haha.
I do not intend to freak you out but... are you 100% it's not your mucus plug coming out little by little?

 

[Soniamillie01]

I hope not lol! Don't think it is, is just like normal but lots if it, not tinged with any blood or pink at all. Will defo keep an eye on it though, am feeling very 'moist' down there lol x

 

[sassy_mom]

I never saw my mucus plug come out with DD. I had someone ask me while I was pregnant with her if my plug had come out yet. I didn't even know this person and I was like um I don't know.

 

[duckytwins]

I'm a leaker normally, so I've had a lot of cm this whole pregnancy (and before that, and likely afterwards - lol). I have noticed I change my liner more frequently now though.

 

[La Mere]

I've had an increase in cm in the past week or two. Its annoying I don't remember losing my mucus plug with my DD either, Sassy.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Don't know why but I'd always assumed that I'd notice it but sounds like it may go unnoticed. Glad I'm not the only one with lots of cm, in the nicest possible way of course, guess it's just things moving along.

It seems so surreal that at pretty much anytime any one of us could join Betheney with our second January Jellybean! I can't believe I'm 35 weeks, I remember the day I found out at 3wks 2 days x

 

[La Mere]

I know what you mean, Sonia. I'll be 34 weeks tomorrow!

You'll be back in L&D before you know it, just not working!

Curious as to your plans for childbirth? Natural, epidural, etc? Will you let yourself be induced?
