January Jellybeans 2013!...

[Soniamillie01]

Just had the most amazing news! One of my best friends is 13 weeks pregnant, what a Christmas Eve present!

Thanks for all the congratulations. I still can't believe she arrived in 2012, let alone this side of Christmas!
Will do a proper birth story when i get time but there's a brief outline on my journal if you want a nose. Still can't believe the speed when things kicked off! The pushing stage was just crazy - my body pretty much ran the show and all i could do was little pants as she crowned. Currently lying in our own bed having skin to skin.

Congratulations to Confused.

Merry Christmas everyone!

If no one else wants it, I wish I could volunteer to be the Xmas baby!! I've been mentally willing him all day to get a move on!! Haha... Christmas is my favorite holiday and love the idea of sharing this time of year with my little boy I think my body is trying to get ready but don't think it will happen yet...

I hope it's not me! Although I wouldn't mind to be honest, if he comes he comes!

Dh found me bent over the kitchen table in agony. I think I have pulled a muscle in my tummy from coughing so much, and its right across the top of the bump. DH thought I was having a contraction and started freaking out chanting no please not Xmas day

I'm ok with a Boxing Day baby though

I did that sneezing, feels like a twisted ankle type pain, and hurts to laugh?

Laughing and coughing cause serious pain

 

[Leinzlove]

Not me, I got a bit to go yet. DH wants boxing day as thats his birthday. But, its very doubtful.... No signs of labor here. Just lots of BH. I do have a boxing day Dr. Appt. And I hope they schedule me an ultrasound.

I am nearly certain my water broke this afternoon. I have soaked through 5 light pads with clear, odorless fluid. I wasn't 100% sure because of DTD this morning and fluids associated with it. I even held toilet paper over my urethra and pushed and a fluid gushed out of my vagina.

Now I have a mild backache.

DH and I are eating Christmas eve dinner and finishing up laundry. Did a mad dash to clean bathroom, vacuum, and dust. I got the Pack N Play assembled and in our bedroom.

And now I freak out. Will be calling the doctor soon and will update when I can. Perhaps I am the one having the Christmas baby!!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

So excited Ditty! Definitely sounds like your waters have gone! Will be thinking of you and looking out for your updates, have a wonderful Christmas x

 

[Lilahbear]

Good luck ditty. Certainly sounds promising!

 

[mellywelly]

Wha hoo a Xmas day baby on the way!

 

[Lillian33]

Awesome news Ditty! Hope this is it!! Keep us posted!!

 

[DittyByrd]

I just got a shower and then leaked all over the floor of the bedroom. Can't imagine this isn't it. Of course it's snowing here now, too.

I really didn't want a Christmas baby, lol, and DH and I carefully considered the likelihood that DTD today would spark anything. We said, eh, only if conditions are ripe. Here's praying I don't need induced.

DH is showering then off to the hospital.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Woooho Ditty! Keep us posted... you know what you started, right? Lol A crazy DTD "see what happens" party lol I think I'll finally give it a try haha

 

[Leinzlove]

I've been DTD all week. All I've had is awful hours of BH. Yay, Ditty! A Christmas baby is exciting.

[Lilahbear]

[sassy_mom]

Ginger!

 

[sassy_mom]

I have been feeling awful most of the day and now I am fighting to get cookies made with DD. I've been cramping for awhile and just feel all over ick. I'm going to soak in the bath later and hope that I just need some sleep. I really don't want to mess up DD's Christmas. Any day after is just fine! lol!

 

[Lillian33]

Sending big hugs Ginger, your kids will get you through the day stay strong.

Feel better Sassy xxx

 

[ARuppe716]

Yay Ditty!! So exciting!!

 

[DittyByrd]

We went to the hospital. Sure enough my water has broken BUT I am a measly 0.5cm dilated. We were told they wouldn't be examining me often until I was having painful contractions. After some monitoring and walking the halls, we talked to the doctor and she sent us home with instructions to check my temperature every 4 hours and monitor for discharge. If nothing happens overnight, we have to be back at 11am tomorrow (the 24 hr mark).

I asked the doctor if having sex could have caused my water to break. She said it was highly unlikely because of how closed my cervix is and that they see a lot of water breaking around big weather changes (ie, snow here tonight). My DH is relieved because he felt bad about inducing labor for Christmas!!!

Will keep you posted. This is certainly it whether it is 12/25 or 12/26!
