My friend was telling me about her labour today, baby was 9.5lb and labour was straight forward but only 2.5 hours!
 
I agree with the other new moms - it's so hard keeping up with the pace of this thread. Once we all have our LOs I bet it will slow down a bit but I certainly want to stay in the same group as you girls!

As for me, the baby blues have hit. I am having times of weepiness. I know it's totally normal but I hate it anyway. I hate when the sun goes down (really bad for this time of year!) because I feel like the nights drag on and on. Just keep telling myself the first few weeks are the worst and the fatigue is temporary.

I hear ya. This thread will soon be flooded with questions and stories of babies:)

I know what you mean about the sun going down. It's very cold and dark here at night. I'm also very sick with a chest cold so waking up to feed Blake at night is so rough.
 
Can't wait to see who is next!
Hopefully soon for a bunch of the overdue ladies and anyone 39 weeks +..... I want baby to come soon, so tired already tho...
 
Well came back from hospital baby is doing great strong heart and I saw him moving on the ultrasound :) this whole pregnancy I never really saw his face except for once at 18 weeks so I can't wait till next when I can see his face finally but I did see his hair again can't wait to see exactly how much he really has :)

Lets have a weekend baby marathon!! We are all to have our babies this weekend! :happydance: Oh, wishful thinking lol
 
My Mother texted me a couple of hours ago to give me strict instructions not to have the baby this weekend because they are going out of town. She's supposed to be attending the birth (OH wants the moral support!) so the timing isn't so great but I still expect to be overdue anyway.
 
The contractions already started.. Just pressure and period cramps.. Nothing big which is normal.. It it's gunna be a long night.. Prob won't update til morning so hope u all have a good night!!
 
Holy crap I may have spoken too soon. I've just had two, I dunno what they are, contractions I suppose (??). My bump dropped lower and I feel a rock hardness at the bottom of my bump and I can't walk when they're hurting. I'm wondering if its early labour after having the runs and some plug fall away today or maybe just baby engaging more. Either way.. ouch!

My mom called and asked if she could leave this weekend out of town. I told her to wait until after I went to the docs. Doc told her to stay in town or risk missing the baby.

So she decided not to leave lol
 
Anyone else get super annoyed when lo gets hick ups? I love when he moves around. But honestly could do without the hickups.

BTW, It sucks having most of you in the UK lol I feel like Im all alone for hours during the day lol

I agree, nights are rough. Two nights ago I caved in and gave her a bottle for the first time. DH stayed with her for the night so I could finally get some rest. I'm sick too, Jaime, and the 5.5 hours that I got of straight sleep was amazing. Pretty soon our babies will grow and get older and we'll miss when they are itty bitty so I'm trying not to hurry her along though...hang in there ladies! xoxo
 
I HAVE GOOD NEWS!! Sarah - La Mere had her baby very early this morning!!

She has asked me to share her birth story with you ladies:

"Finally, after one pretty good gush. I woke up hubby saying I think my waters broke. By this time I was starting to get some contractions...Omg, they were so so intense. I didn't handle them as well as I could have. Let my emotions and fear run away with me for a bit. Finally they were getting so strong and the pressure down there was so amazingly intense and painful, the only way I could get was to push (TMI ALERT) and when I started pushing all that would happen were bm's. I put my hand down there to see if I could tell if I was dilated enough to really start baring down. All I got on my hand for a while was bloody mucus! Yuck. lol! Then I really started pushing! With every contraction I would push and push some more! Finally I could feel myself opening up and baby's head bulging and putting tons of pressure on my perinium and rectum. Meanwhile all this was going on hubby was up getting things ready, bulb to suction nose and mouth, scissors to cut the cord also string to tie it off. During one really painful contraction, just as hubby had left me to continue getting things ready to go I called him back, he looked down there and said "I can already see hair on the head!" I was like "Really?" He replied "yeah, the head is crowning" I pushed hard... and his head came out, hubby said" Im looking into our baby's face" I rested for a couple contractions, then pushed the shoulders out. I couldn't tell if baby had come all the way, so I asked if hubby could tell what it was yet, he said no, the baby's hips were still inside, so with a couple more pushes baby Samuel was born at 3:30 a.m. after waters breaking at 10 pm (or around there) He weighed 6 lbs 12 oz and 19 inches long. He didn't have his cord tied and cut until it was white and limp. He's been really sleepy, nursing when he wants to roust himself. Rayven was the same for the first couple of days too, so I'm not worried at all. He's had about 3 bm's and but no pee pee's" (she later told me he did pee pee when was showered).

Sarah had a beautiful baby boy. Named Samuel, at 3:30 am this morning!!!! Her yellow Jellybean turned Blue!!
 
Mommy- I find the hiccups annoying too although I'm sure I'll miss them!! And there are lots of US ladies here, too!! We're just mostly on the east coast!

And congratulations La Mere!! So exciting! Let the baby dominoes keep falling!!
 
Omggggg they did that all at home! Thats an amazing story! :) congrats la mere!!!
 
Congrats to her! How wonderful! So her DH delivered him?? WOW! I can't wait to see him!
