January Jellybeans 2013!...

Induction set up for the 24th. Although I really REALLY hope little man makes it before then. Have a sweep this coming monday. So I hope that does the job.
 
Congrats poppy and mummy!

Good luck to DeeDee and the other girls with their inductions!

Melly- Yay! Will be thinking of you! Good luck!

ARuppe- Yay for Oliver!

AFM- Samuel is.doing great! Can't belive his is already a week old (8 days today)! He is still nursing like a champ, from both sides! We gave him his one week check up, when we weighed him a day or two he had lost 4 oz (6 lbs 8 oz), then weighed him yesterday and he's up to 6 lbs 14 oz. He's been sleeping a lot during the day, but has also been sleeping really well at night. Here are a few pics!

Wow Melly! That is so exciting! I hope things move along and you get the birth you want!
 
holy gallbladder attack! only had one or two last time around...but the last couple days Ive had three.
 
Has anyone else had such severe sciatic pain that you can't walk? I have to use my husband as a walker or he has to carry me :(
 
Feeling pretty left out the whole fb thing... Why is it people are keeping the births secret on here?
 
Looks like deedee and jc both had their little ones!

Agreed that fb is easier to make initial announcement. I can't post pics on here from my phone but it takes two seconds to put an update in Facebook. After coming out if surgery I went with what was easy...
 
Joshua James Gibson was born at 1:50am on 12/01/13 weighing 8lb 4oz (very good weight for a tiny baby).
Very fast 2 hour labour ending in a lovely water birth. I've posted a photo on the Facebook group if anyone would like to put it on here for me).

Quick story - went into hospital at 11pm last night with contractions 5 mins apart, soon as got to hospital they were 2mins apart. Got checked and was 3cm so they wanted me to go home (this was at midnight). Told them I would like to stay as pains were getting intense.
Stayed on assessment ward and contractions came one after the other with no break, asked if I could have some gas and air.
Got gas and air and told me they would take me to delivery ward once they had a bed.
I got urge to push and when they checked me I had gone from 3cm-9cm in an hour.
Rushed me round to delivery and I went straight into bath and started pushing.

So a very fast, painful labour but water birth was great, no tears or grazes.
