January Jellybeans 2013!...

Thanks, Jaime! It was much needed!!

Ill keep my fingers crossed for all you ladies still waiting... I hope you meet your little ones soon!!
 
Either that or she is a really gifted midwife with the talent of X-ray vision :growlmad:

It makes me mad over here when they do that, I think she was just being lazy.....I hope you don't have to go 10 days over :nope:

37 weeks is on the other hand a ridiculous time to offer one ppppfffft.

I am so grumpy harrumph:dohh:
 
Amanda, thank you and glad Oliver is settling into the routine.

Jellybeans.......I missed your OH's statement before, lmao good on him. I think some MW's think we are stupid and forget there is so much info available on tinternet theses days!!

she's just annoying full stop lool i will be complaining about her after little one is born because the quality of care has been awful!! and thank you hon!! you too!!
 
Finally got a little rest, too, Amanda! I laid down with Katie right after her bath at 8 and we slept til 12, then just up for feeds a few times til 8 am! I'm glad Oliver let you rest!!:thumbup:
 
Had my sweep this morning & I'm achy, but no contractions so far. I'm not sure it's going to do anything. I'm 2cm dilated and cervix length is also 2cm.

The bloodflow through the chord was better this week, so they have bumped the induction back to 3rd Feb, with another sweep in between on the 30th Jan. I'm ok with that now I know that babba is doing ok in there as I'd rather go on my own, even if that means overdue. There seriously isn't any more room left in there though! Hope she hurries up - if nothing else I want to see DH again (he was going to come this week, but may not now the inductions has been moved :()

Good luck to all you other overdue & waiting mommas!
 
Hope all is well with ginger... I've been following her on Facebook. Seems like she's got a lot going on...
 
Glad that you guys are getting some rest!! :thumbup: Today has been much better. Chloe has been eating well and THANKFULLY sleeping. I was starting to worry she wouldn't sleep anywhere but her bassinet but she is out cold today in her big crib. :happydance: I wish I could be sleeping but having a 4 year old means no naps. I am trying to take it easy and relax since Chloe isn't crying and constantly wanting to be in my arms. I even managed to make some banana bread with my 4 year old! :thumbup:

I want to get back to working out so badly but my ribs are still very sore and I don't want to aggravate it and make it worse. If it wasn't for that, I would have started back this week. I wonder how long it will take to heal?? :shrug: I'm ready to get things going. I can't wait to be back in my old jeans. I'm seriously tired of wearing my maternity pants. They are loose and don't really fit but it is all I have so I make do. I refuse to buy bigger pants. I got my old jeans on, just can't button them. I have a goal to really push myself and get back down as quick as possible. I'd love to have a date night with DH where I can wear something really awesome. :haha: Make him drool a little! :haha::haha:
 
Hard to believe that Grayson is already a week old today. It's already happening, he is growing too fast! I've set up his appt for his circumcision. I told my husband that he is taking him. I took our last son. For those wondering weather or not to get it done, DO NOT google it...:( I did it last time and I think it traumatized me.

BF isn't going very well. Even with the shield I have cracked nipples. I cant get the left one to heal. The pain on latch makes me want to scream. When baby pulled off yesterday there was a blood clot in the shield! From everything I've read it can be pretty normal, but now Im scared to death to let him nurse from that side even though I know I need too.

Is anyone else already thinking about more children? This is number 4 for us and although I would love another I don't know if I want to hear it from the peanut gallery. Seems like everyone has something to say about the number of kids I should have.

Pictures of little man at 6 days old :D

Hey ladies.

Hope all those still waiting have done news for us soon, fingers crossed it happens soon and those sweeps help!

Aruppe - yah for sleep! Archie did 10-2am then 3-5 and was then restless 5-7, but the three hrs I got 11-2 felt amazing!

Tongue tie was done today and it was just horrible. He screamed, I cried, my mum cried - it was emotional lol! Hopefully he'll feed better now. Think we're in for a long night!
 
wonder if anyone can answer this question....i just heard a pop noise come from my bump and it was like when you pop a bubble on some bubble wrap :shrug: anyone know what it could be and have you had it?
 
Ugh i swear its one thing after the other!!

Were all huddled upstairs while hubby works because our oil heat wont kick on downstairs!! :(. Its like 0 degrees out today! Freeezing! Luckily the upstairs works but i dont even wanna run downstairs for bottles its so cold...someone is coming to look at it within two hrs but my god..one thing after the other...in the past 3 months, between our two cars weve dropped 3,000$ to fix them... Im so tired of it all!

Blah, sorry just ranting....

Hey honey, the only time I've heard of that is when people have described the noise with their waters breaking. Have you had any wetness at all? X
 
Yea thats what ive been doing, demand feeding.... Its exhausting sometimes lol..i just hate to see her fuss!... Hubby on the other hand will just let her cry, i hate it!

My DH never seemed to be as bothered by DS crying as I was & wouldn't try to get to the bottom of it very quickly. Does it just sound way worse to us mums?... Or does it get them out of doing as much? :haha:

La Mere - Lovely :D

I think maybe we just have this instinct...i was talking to my friend about it today bc her boyfriend does the same thing!!

Ella was up at 12( usually a feeding time) ...ryan gets up, changes her and put her right back in the sleeper whilst crying...im like r u not gunna feed her?! Shes crying cuz shes hungry i was livid!! Screamed a bunch of curse words and fed her myself .... Hes like...u want me to feed her babe? My response..." Dont bother i f***ing got it.....i was like realllly?! Btw 12 pm is his time to feed in the mid of night, while i get up at 3-4a,8-9a, all of them thru the day.... Etc... I just need some sleep and me time i think! Argh lol
 
I hope your heat gets fixed soon! It's so cold!! I found water in the nursery today and am praying that the skylights aren't leaking. They're coming to look at them tomorrow. Oliver isn't sleeping in there yet thankfully... I'm hoping its condensation that builds up inside the windows overnight because the house is warm an its so freaking cold out.

nope i haven't :/ that's what i read too but felt no wetness so was wondering what it could be i have read that it could be one of baby's joints clicking...it was the weirdest thing to hear though :wacko:
 
Question for you ladies...DH took Katie with him today to visit his mom, was gone about 4.5 hours so I pumped. I got about 3 oz out of each side in about 8 minutes so is that what she's getting with a feed? She nurses about 10 minutes, usually one side only. I know with breast milk the quantity isn't that important but I'm curious. I also pump every morning after her feed and get 4 oz from each side in about 5 minutes of pumping. I've been doing that since the initial engorgement though. Today was the first time I pumped in place of a feed. I go back to work in 3 weeks though so I will be doing several more trial runs til then.
