January Jellybeans 2013!...

[span]

Lillian - Darcey is the same at night. She is sleeping for 3 hour chunks at night but only in bed next to me. She doesn't like the moses basket at all. At least I no longer have to cuddle her sleep so that's progress! Going to try and get her used to it in the day. I don't mind her in with us but I sleep lighter.

Ditty - lovely birth story and pics. She's beautiful.

Ginger - congratulations he's gorgeous.

Babyhopeful - congratulations. Well done on getting through such an epic labour!

Sonia - hope you manage to get a scan and can then make a decision. Must be so frustrating wanting some answers.

Hope everyone else is ok. Sassy i hope you feel better soon.

Darcey has just had a change and feed so going back to sleep. x

Lillian - We had the same issue with DS & he ended up in with me at night for the first 8 months. I never slept well that way though, so we're going to try & avoid it this time if possible. I know they say it can take around 6 weeks to get a sleep routine going, so there's still time. I think you just do what you have to to get through it Sorry, I know that's not very helpful

Sassy - Still really poorly, but the symptoms are changing, so hopefully it's working it's way out - Head, congestion & chest are worse, but I feel a little less weak & feverish. DS is still asleep, but I think we'll just be cuddling up on the sofa with DVDs when he wakes up. Are you any better?

Argh being ill sucks! Poor little lady has it, fever seems to have gone down today, but she's still coughing her little heart out. Headache, sore throat.. Sure hope this shifts by Thursday!

Sorry to hear other ladies are ill too!! And so close to due dates!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Ditty - thank you for sharing your amazing story, violet is gorgeous x

Ds also hated his Moses basket, I ended up using his travel cot next to the bed, it has a newborn hammock thing so he was at the top and its almost level with the bed, so I could lay with my arm over his tummy to make him feel like I was there. It lasted 6 weeks and I gave up and put him in his own room in his cotbed and he was much happier.

Ditty- beautiful story and beautiful little girl!

I've been fighting off a cold now for a week and it's finally hitting me full force. My dh was very sick earlier with what we think was the flu and luckily I had the shot so I have not gotten that sick. But I'm all congested and so tired of blowing my nose!! I need to get rid of this in the next few days. I don't want to be recovering from a c and trying ti enjoy my new baby while coughing and blowing my nose!!

Looking good Melly- you're nice and low!! Hopefully something happens soon for you!

 

[mellywelly]

Thanks aruppe, I've always carried low though, did the same with ds too.

When do you get your section date?

 

[ARuppe716]

I have to call tomorrow morning to schedule. My OB said we could do as early as Wednesday or Thursday, we are going to ask for Thursday. Hopefully I can get the dr I like!!

 

[sassy_mom]

Aruppe that would be awful coughing after surgery! Ugh! I can't even imagine. I hope you can shake it off soon.

Blossom I hope you can get better too. I am glad you are feeling a little less weak but I know still being sick is draining.

I still have this mess and am barely sleeping at night. DH usually lets me sleep after he gets up in the afternoon and that has helped me some but mostly I'm just a coughing zombie. I went into a coughing fit this morning when I got up and my pelvic bones were popping with every cough. I'm so ready for this to be over with.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Melly - gorgeous bump! Enjoy the time with DH hope it helps things along!

Aruppe - sorry you're feeling poorly hun, hopefully if you can schedule for Thursday it will give you time to get rid of the cough

Hope everyone else is ok, sorry if I've missed anyone.

I had a right night! Thought I would try and get an early night, well early for me, so eleven ish. Then at half one there was a knock at the door with two police men! I freaked out - we were at a family party yesterday and we left early but I always worry about what will happen later that night with family drinking / arguments etc, so seeing them there made me freak out! Turns out someone had reported a man and women arguing and a women screaming and they were just checking door to door to see if we were all ok and if we heard anything. Seems as though everything was ok. I couldn't then get back go sleep so was up until 4am

 

[brieri1]

Well, 12 hours post eggplant consumption. Nothing. Didn't have sex either because I was so worn out from making the dinner I didn't have any energy left.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Im full of hormones today..just want to cry...over nothing ... Going to put the covers back over my head and hibernate the rest of the day....

 

[claireb86]

I'm so fed up of being pregnant now. Myself, Ds and Dh have all been poorly since Xmas eve and its doing my head in. Starting to feel better but so exhausted.
No signs of labour approaching anytime soon.
It's my birthday tomorrow and would make my day if baby made and appearance but highly doubt it!
6 days till Due date.

Hope everyone else feeling lousy feels better soon.

 

[mellywelly]

Only 2 days til edd are we New Year's Day'ers the first to go to due date?

 

[sassy_mom]

Yep Melly! You, Sonia, Me, and I believe Brieri are all due one day after another so the four of us, if nothing happens will all be the first to make it to our due dates. I am due on the 3rd and go on the 2nd for my checkup. They couldn't get me in for two weeks since my last appointment but said that they were already booked up that day but for some reason wanted to squeeze me in. What's the point now. I'm at the end. I'll just go to the hospital. hahaha!

 

[mellywelly]

I get my sweep on the 2nd, maybe you will get one at your appointment too? Or my baby could decide come tomorrow or on due date I suppose?

They never mentioned a sweep or intervention of any kind at my last appt. However it was 2 weeks ago so that may be why. But it might be because she has measured right on the entire time, so they may not be concerned with going over.
