January Jellybeans 2013!...

[mellywelly]

I start at 8am but I'm only allowed 1 lot of this gel up my foo, something like prostatin? If no progress by after lunch they will section as soon as theatre is free. So I suppose I could be first?

 

[sassy_mom]

Melly I'm so sorry to hear that. A loss is never easy but definitely makes it hard when something happy is coming up near it.

Mommyof2peas yes I bet you are ready! Still looking great though!

Yay Deedee on getting the induction date set! I know you are ready to have Matthew in your arms!

Claire that is crazy that they wouldn't even check!!

Blossom I'm sorry to hear you are still battling with that cough. I know it is no fun! I still have lingering traces of it. I think I may pass out if it was as bad because I can't exactly cough with a cracked rib. Steam worked the best for my cough. Maybe try inhaling steam throughout the day and using a cough medicine that has an expectorant in it may help loosen everything up and help keep you from coughing so much. I hope you feel better soon!

Darkstar wow I would be miserable at 42 weeks. Definitely would throwing my wrath all over someone.

Nikki and Deedee I'm sorry that you are having to deal with the babbling of crazed people but good for both of you standing your ground!!!

Lauren so glad to hear both of you are doing well!!

Lilah you are not a wuss! It is always nice to have that security but don't worry you will do just wonderful!

Hope I got all caught up with everyone! If I missed anyone I'm sorry! I'm off to shower and then feed my tiny princess. She is soooo little! lol! Just love that little girl.

Eeek good luck to you tomorrow Melly, Deedee and Kaiecee (and anyone else I've missed!). Anyone heard from Mamaspath? Sounds like there's going to be a rush of jellybeans.

I've been trying to read this thread but not getting much time to post anything. Health visitor came today and Darcey is up to 8lb11oz (from 7lb10oz at birth) the little booby monster! She's a right windy little thing bless her. It's bonkers that my due date was only yesterday.

She sounds like Violet! Gained 1lb in 9 days!!! She loves her boobies as well!!! Lol. Her favorite trick is peeing/pooping during feeding, getting her diaper changed, immediately asking for the boobies again, and repeat.

My gosh! Sorry I've not been about ladies but I've barely been able to move for phone calls and visits from nursery nurses midwives health visitors friends families and random official people that seem to have nothing better to do! Phillip doesn't seem to sleep much at night, he does loads in the day but had so many visitors I haven't been able to nap!! I'm still trying to figure out how to do the day to day as still on crutches (I get stuff done with lots of tears and swearing, those stairs are a nightmare though!).. I'm hoping the spd packs up and goes to the spa or something soon.

Congratulations everyone who's got their bundles if joy! And those that don't it won't be long now!!

Oh my giddy aunt he closed his eyes!! I'm going to run for a nap while I have a chance!!! *cue phone ringing*

 

[BlossomJ]

Melly - I had that gel when I was induced & it was all over 1hr 45mins later! Hope it goes well & you get your vbac. Stay positive!

 

[Lilahbear]

I'm wondering between me deedee and melly which one of our lo's will b here
I think I'm suppose to go in for my cesarian at 6:30 and they start at 8 am hopefully I'm the first as of now they said I was cuz of my diabetes

Good luck Kaiecee. Hope it all goes smoothly!

 

[Lillian33]

Oohh so exciting, best of luck Melly, DeeDee & Kaiecee!! We might have 3 babies birthdays all the same!

Brieri, really hope you make some progress, you must be so done!

Anyone's bean stay awake way longer than they probably should at any one session?! I fed Harry at 6.30am, it's now 8.45am & he's still not asleep?? Not crying or anything, just laying in his bed not going to sleep? Soon it'll be time for his next feed??!!

xx

 

[prayingforbby]

Saw my doctor today.

"Bad" news: No change in cevix or dialation.
Good news: He will have me induced next Friday if I want.

Can't believe this pregnancy is almost over.

 

[claireb86]

Still nothing happening here.
Hope all the ladies being induced/sections tomorrow all go well

 

[Kaiecee]

I'll be having my little one at 8am tomorrow

 

[darkstar]

I'll be having my little one at 8am tomorrow

All the best, can't wait for pics

I'm worried. My LO is usually so active and feels like he's going to kick his way out of my belly but in the last 12 hours or so he's been very quiet. Its 9.30 in the morning and usually by now he's had a session of kicking strongly. Last night I noticed he hadn't moved so much as he usually does in the evening and I drank some OJ and lay on my side watching TV and I got maybe 4 small nudges from him and that was only because I was poking him through my belly. This morning I've had three small nudges and another one small one when I got in the shower.

I see my midwife in 2 hours so I won't phone her, I'll wait until I go in and I think I'm going to demand I get checked out at the hospital this afternoon, it's just not normal for this little guy to be so quiet. I've had crampy braxton hicks for the last 24 hours as well pretty consistently and I'm pretty sure I passed some mucus this morning on the toilet but it sunk before I could see it (felt it).

Trying not to stress or cry

 

[ARuppe716]

Lillian- same problem here!! He can sleep solid through a few feeding sessions and then he'll go hours without settling. He does the same thing of laying there with eyes wide open, not a hint of fatigue!

 

[mommyof2peas]

Saw the doc today. Im measuring 40 weeks because of the extra waters. I'm 3cm at this point, but my cervix is still kinda thick. Because of the extra waters baby is engaging then floating back up.

doc is going to talk to his boss about induction on Thursday next week. That will put me at 38 weeks. If not though he said he would do a sweep on monday at my next appointment.

I can't believe I'm sitting here at 3cm and nothing is happening. Im so afraid my water is going to brake and I wont get to the hospital in time.....

Violet has been having a lot more wakefulness in recent days. Stares with her eyes open for an hour or more. Last night she fussed for 2 hours and all I could think was "I have to get up to feed you soon, please go to sleep."

Keep us posted and try not to worry too much. Easier said than done.

 

[Kaiecee]

Picture to come Monday

 

[Lilahbear]

Eva sleeps pretty much most of the day then seems to wake up about 11pm and has her awake time just as we are wanting to go to bed. I didn't realise how much new born babies sleep!

 

[sassy_mom]

Good luck tomorrow Kaiecee, Deedee, and Melly!! Cannot wait for all of you to have your jellybeans!

mommyof2peas when I went to my last appt with the doctor and had a sweep, I was 3 cm and that was 5 days before I gave birth. I worried that maybe my water would break as well but nope.

Darkstar it could be that your jellybean is preparing for birth. They say they go quiet right before. I hope they will check and give you some reassurance though!

I feel a little odd because Chloe eats, sleeps and poops. She will stay awake and stare at you before she eats. So far she hasn't been a really fussy baby. *knock on wood* lol! Things don't really feel too different as she is either on my boob or sleeping. I got up this morning and after feeding her, I went about my normal day of cleaning up and getting things done. I want to hold her non-stop though. She is like a tiny baby doll. When we left the hospital they said she had lost 5% of her body weight and was weighing 6lbs 12oz. I feel like she is sooo itty bitty. Some of her newborn clothes swallow her up!!! We have only had 2 visitors. FIL and my mom. Even in the hospital it was just the two of them to visit. It was honestly wonderful. When Lexi (DD1 ) was born, the hospital was OVERRUN with people. I was exhausted. Then right after we got home, we had more people come and I just wanted to be left alone. Now it has been quiet and I have been able to focus on bf'ing and enjoying our new addition.
