January Jellybeans 2013!...

[sassy_mom]

I know I am blowing up the thread tonight ... sorry! lol!

I think I will ask my doctor at my next appointment if she can tell if Chloe's head is engaged at all because now when she is moving around like crazy ... I seriously feel like her head is in my hoo ha and ramming into the back door as well. She is moving right now and I swear it feels like she is already trying to come out!!!! Maybe my FIL is right about me not making it to January! Now I am just praying she isn't born on my MIL's birthday. Not on 12/9 and not on Christmas, otherwise I'm good!

Haha, highly doubt 12/9 is an option since it's around the corner now!
It's always a good idea to ask! If they give you pointers, let us know!!

I have that feeling too, that I'll probably not make it to January, but who knows haha.

haha! Yea I don't think so .... it is just she keeps slamming downward ... I think from pushing up at the top with her feet and I seriously keep feeling like I need to clinch up everything down there. I don't know what caused her to go so ballistic all of a sudden but I wish she would stop. I'm trying a different position to hopefully stop her but so far it seems like as I adjust, so does she and goes back to it.

Gosh you ladies have been busy!!! Definitely finding it harder to keep up as work is super busy in the lead up to the holiday period!

I've really enjoyed hearing the different thoughts on birth plans, I will be keeping it simple I think!

Babyhopeful that's so so exciting a Christmas day induction woohoo!!

Span, you look great, lovely neat bump

Ducky, so glad youre out of hospital & feeling a little better.

I hope all you northern hemisphere ladies had a good, restful sleep & aches, pains & swelling are in check today!

I had a growth scan today, my boy is on track, still in about the 50th percentile so I figure not too big, not too small, fingers crossed he stays on a good growth path.

Big hugs & xxxx's

 

[Lillian33]

Oh and Lauren, lovely bump as well! So cool comparing it now with your bump in your profile pic! You've bloomed & look great!!

xx

Lillian - Glad you are doing ok. Don't work too hard though! x

Sassy - Hope you enjoyed dinner, sounds yummy! Sorry you are getting fed up with the discomfort

I'm a little worried about how I'll cope with two kids, as although DH will be closer to work when we move & will cut back, I'll still be alone for at least 11 hours each day, with no relatives nearby. Also DH is physically incapable of getting up in the night, so I won't get help then and with DS I couldn't sleep if he was trying to settle him in the night anyway, as I knew DH would fall right asleep & it would be dangerous.

I think I'm going to get out of the house as much as possible & do lots of organised activities & attend toddlers groups with DS to keep him entertained. I kind of just think that I'll get through it one way or another, although I'm sure some days will be really tough!

I'm also nervous about coping with 2. If this one is as good a sleeper and feeder as Meg then I'll be ok but that's a big IF isn't it?
We're lucky that both sets of parents live pretty close so we've got plenty of support.
Hubby has taken Meg to 'stay and play' so I need to get myself dressed, stuff some nappies and look forward to my delivery which is due today - a new (bigger) changing bag, paid for with a voucher I got for my birthday, and a bath cradle. We borrowed my sisters last time but her little one is still young enough to be needing it this time around.
Work Christmas meal tonight.

Deedee - sorry about the anxiety attack.

Sassy - sorry you're so uncomfortable.

 

[mellywelly]

Another worrier about coping with no. 2 here too, I find it hard enough trying to get ds to school on time, so don't know how I'll do it ith a baby! I suppose I just have to get up even earlier, but we are all really bad at getting up!

 

[mellywelly]

And I got my date for the sweep - on the 2nd jan, but really don't think I'll make it that far!

 

[ARuppe716]

Ladies... My hands are awful. Anyone have any tips? I wake up with extreme numbness and now really bad pain in my wrists. It can take30-40 minutes to feel normal again and by then I'm in tears and can't fall back asleep!! I wore braces for awhile in the beginning but would rip them off in the middle of the night because I was uncomfortable and hot! Ugh... My grip is weak from it and by the end of the day it's difficult to hold a pen!

 

[mellywelly]

A woman I know hat has just had a baby was prescribed anti-histamines for her carpal tunnel. It helped a bit, but didn't completely take it away.

 

[Little J]

Babyhope- thats exciting!!! I cant wait to get to my 36 week apt when they start checking my cervix to see what progress im making. I really hope i go into labor early... like 38-39 weeks.

Sassy- I was wondering if thats what i was feeling... a BH. I didnt think they were suppost to be painful tho.... but maybe just the pressure is what was causing the pain, usually i have a high pain tolerance. If this is a example of what a contraction is, im totally in for a suprise.

 

[sassy_mom]

36 Weeks today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow ..... 28 days left. How did we get here so quickly. It all seems to be a blur!

I woke up this morning with some pretty bad pain from her headbanging last night. All the bones in my groin area feel like they are almost bruised. I think today will be a lazy movie day for me and DD. It's dreary looking outside so I think we will crawl up in her bed and watch movies on my laptop until we can wake DH up!

To all you ladies working on your second or third child, here's a bit of advice from my 85 year old grandmother:

She had 7 kids and 9 pregnancies, 6 of them within about 8 years of each other. She said in hindsight she looks back and wonders how she managed to raise all those children but when she was in the moment she just did it and didn''t think about it. I think all of you will need to adjust but you will do terrific.

 

[AJThomas]

Yay fruit day! Although the fruit hasn't changed. One more week and il be officially full term!!

Aruppe a friend of mine had it really bad in one hand and she says it helps if u do some exercises like holding your fingers altogether or one at a time and bending them back as far as they will go. She says it helped a lot when she was consistent with it.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Migraine, throwing up, not hungry, thankfully i have a nst this morning... I feel miserable! Thankfully no work tonight since i am meeting a student at barnes n noble to take a final! Lol

 

[AJThomas]

I think I may actually get around to packing my bag today... I'll at least get started on it.

 

[mellywelly]

I finally packed up my secret Santa, but couldn't find an envelope big enough and had to improvise! Will post tomorrow as couldn't get parked near post office and it feels like babies head is going to pop out if I walk too far! Seems the older I get the more excited I get about giving gifts!

 

[AJThomas]

I sent my secret Santa 2 days ago, hope the receiver likes her gift

 

[Little J]

I think what i am experiencing are BH. I thought they werent suppost to hurt.... oofda.... my breath gets shortened and it feels like the top of my tummy is cramped and my belly gets hard. (I never realized how hard it actually got when it happened)
