January Jellybeans 2013!...

[DeedeeBeester]

Hey all! Been following along but not posting. I feel like I'll be the last in this group to have my baby lol

As for birth plan, mine is "Get baby out" I haven't had any issues in the past *knock on wood* But last time around I nearly had to have her natural because I showed up at the hospital at 7 cm and by the time they got the IV and Epi in I was already 9 cm. So I am just hoping I make it to the hospital.

I'm still breastfeeding my 16 month old. Although we have cut down to just night feedings. I used breast milk (that stuff fixes anything) for my nipples when I first started out. I am hoping that it won't be so bad this time around, but I know it wont be a cake walk since she feeds one a day not every 2-3 hours.

I know Im only 32 weeks but I keep day dreaming about being done already. I keep wishing I was 36 weeks so that I can start wishing baby out. But I feel guilty wishing already cause it's too early. Then I see all you that are at 36+ weeks and I'm like "OHHHHH man" lol

We will get there! You will get there! Just some more weeks to go!

Ill be setting up my angelcare baby monitor in the bassinet in our room since he will be there most if the time and only in his crib during the day when I'm down stairs

I have a lot of stuff to get rid of that I no longer use and need to do some organization sweeping mopping window etc for baby's room and then ill relax but Xmas it's busier and harder to get to things my kids go back to their fathers on the 1st of. Jan then ill have just 10 days to get anything else that needs to be done finished

Just went onto Gerber and it said my hospital doesn't participate in their program so I can't get the cool free stuff. Boo! Why can't they just mail it to me??

Hello, ladies! Thank you for the suggestions... I'm just at a loss. I've tried braces but am really uncomfortable, i may ask about antihistamines at my appt next week. Thank goodness I only have one more week of work!

Baby's bag is almost packed and I have a lot of my things ready ti be packed, just not in the actual suitcase yet! I also went on a major nesting spree tonight and the nursery is almost done! Of course I overdid it all day today and my feet are now enormous. I've spent the last hour guzzling water and propping them up. I'm hoping ti avoid the fluid redistributing in my sleep back to my poor hands!

To be honest I have not bought a single bottle. I'm hoping to bf exclusively in the beginning and I worry that by having bottles in the house I will be tempted to stop bf if I get frustrated. Once we get over the initial period I'll invest in some and start pumping so little guy is adjusted before starting daycare. And speaking of which- we have our first round of tours, etc a week from Monday to start to pick out a good one! I feel a little silly doing it this early but would like to be at a nice school and get a spot! Sometimes I wish I could stay home and be with my baby all day. I also think I'm too antsy and would miss a lot of aspects of my job.

Marshall's and tjmaxx are amazing for baby stuff! I got a gorgeous sleep swaddler the other day for cheap and saw the tommie tipper bottles too. My mom got a few cute snowshoes too!

So apparently Chloe thinks it is fun to repeatedly bang her head against my cervix. If this is going to be an everyday occurrence until my due date, I am going to be very ill for the next 4 weeks! I had some strong BH tonight and a little cramping as well and then back to her head banging! Perhaps she thinks if she does that, she can get out easier!

Sassy

It was my address from when I had DD. We haven't lived there in a loooong time. Guess I registered for them then too! hahaha!

 

[sassy_mom]

Not sure what is going on. I have quite a bit of pain in my low back and a pulling/tugging feeling in the very front bottom of my stomach that runs straight down to my vajayjay. It feels like someone is trying to tug something out. Had several stronger bh than what I am use to. I am laying on my left side trying to go to sleep but I am so uncomfortable. My whole vajayjay is starting to feel kind of achey but she has been head butting my cervix again so it could just be that. Maybe I need a good night sleep. Lol! Or as close as I can get to one.

 

[Kaiecee]

Hope u get some good sleep just like us I think our babies want out

 

[BlossomJ]

Sassy - It sounds like you have such an active baby! Hope you get some relief. I wonder if she'll be a wriggler when she gets out, or if she just wants to have a good stretch & can't?!

Nikki - Glad you're feeling ok now. It sounded a bit scary. Keep up those fluids & take care

Getting excited about Els having the baby, so can't even imagine what she must be feeling like!

I feel a bit worried today. When I woke up this morning TMI my knickers felt really damp. This is exactly how my waters started leaking with ds, and at exactly this point too. I really hope it's not my waters leaking again, I didn't want to have this baby before Xmas. I'll just keep an eye on it for now, don't want to ring the midwife or they will want me to go in and be checked.

 

[Lillian33]

Fingers crossed it's not your waters Melly, rest up as much as you can

Sassy you do have one wiggler there dont you!!

Hope everyone else is feeling well Bring on the weekend, I'm exhausted!!

Had my 36 week scan this morning and the placenta has moved and is no longer low lying. Yay! The baby also stuck its tongue out which was really cute.

When I got home I went to the bathroom as was feeling quite damp and when I wiped noticed a big blob of jelly which looked like I had blown my nose (sorry if tmi). I am wondering if that was part of my mucus plug as that's how my midwife described it. I know it can happen weeks before labour, but it was quite a surprise.

 

[mellywelly]

Sounds like its a bit of your plug!
