January Jellybeans 2013!...

Congratulations Nikki!!!!! She is beautiful!!!

I just came back from Dr. How I love him lol he is so positive. He told me that I wasn't one dilated before, just a fingertip. So now I'm oficially 1 dilated, super soft cervix and baby is lowering pretty well. Since I have concerns of having a big baby he said that I go in for normal check up on the wednesday (day I turn 40) and we schedule an induction for the soonest opening they have. So it could be that same day or weekend. He did say several times: If you make it to wednesday. LOL So here is to hoping I go in earlier. Oh, I also lost a pound. I don't get how that keeps happening.

I took the seat up to the room with me to adjust it with him before trying to fit it back in the car.

 

[Kaiecee]

Ya ill probably do that too but it seems so complicated these car seats sometimes

Sassy, so glad yr feeling a bit better, keep resting up.

Melly, so sorry about your friend, don't be too hard on yourself for not visiting.

Sonia, so glad you had at least some success at yr appt. fingers crossed you're heading into labour!

Hoping you can get your little lady to turn Brieri.

Blossom, sorry about you're horrid day! Glad the evening was better!

Question for current mums, when is a good age to start practicing self settling techniques? I'm one of those mums who would like to eventually not have to feed/rock my boy to sleep, I know he'd still so tiny but hopefully over the next couple of months we can work on it

Sorry for the marathon post ladies!

For me I had my kiddos sleep with me for the first 4-6 months. Then moved them to their cribs after that. But I also Breastfeed. So much easier if they are close at hand.

once baby is in their own crib I time 5 mins before I go to them. That way they arn't really crying it out, but Im giving enough time to settle themselves

Hello!! So Oliver Ian Ruppel was born at 6:24pm weighing 7lb and 6.9oz and measuring 20.5 inches. Everything went perfectly and everyone is healthy. Little man screamed his lungs out as soon as he was in the world! I was able to breast feed a few hours later, too!! Will post with more updates tomorrow...and could someone post my pic from Facebook on here? We couldn't be happier and he is absolutely perfect!

[brieri1]

Well, I swallowed my first dose of epo and now just to have my husband insert the other part of it before we go to bed... Hope it works. I don't want to be pregnant for another couple weeks.

 

[Leinzlove]

Ahh... brier1 I hope it works and you find yourself in labor within a few hours.

 

[Cailidgh]

Yay ar!! Beautiful boy!! Congratulations!!

And congratulations of course to the other new mummies! Amazing news! Sorry to not go through each name, but am on phone so can't scroll up for reminders!!

Thank you all who have sent us they're best wishes and congrats! That is very much appreciated!

Those that are still waiting.. The end is in sight and you're doing really well!! Keep your chin up, eat a pineapple and get climbing up and down the stairs!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Congratulations Amanda! He is such a cutie!

 

[Soniamillie01]

No news ladies, slept surprisingly well, baby has gone very quiet on me, a little worried but he does this sometimes. DH is currently having words, he'll be awake soon no doubt. Still bleeding lightly and lots of cm x

Amanda - congrats, Oliver is gorgeous and glad to hear it went ok x

SAS1 - welcome, can't wait to hear about your arrival

Sassy - sounds like we are going trough the same and could well be birthday buddies

Mommy - gorgeous pics, glad all went well and a good weight

Sorry if I've missed anybody else x

 

[darkstar]

Still here, still pregnant. Been busy nesting, no labor symptoms may still be here waiting in 3 weeks I'm feeling like its all so far away even though I'm due in 9 days. I just don't feel like an end is in sight yet. I've been staying away from the boards a bit because I find it a little depressing its not my turn yet! Silly I know.

Congrats Amanda!

 

[BlossomJ]

Congratulations ARuppe!!!! Really gorgeous

Lillian - I'm the last person to offer advice on getting baby to self settle, but when the time comes, could you let me know what you try & how it goes, as we're aiming to crack it a bit sooner if possible this time!
