***January Jellybeans***~ 35 BABY GIRLS & 23 BABY BOYS BORN ~***

[LittleMrs]

Good on you Milward. Put your feet up and have some bean and mummy bonding time. You are not being selfish and, if needs be, I will continue to chant this mantra at you until you give birth.

I have spent the afternoon cleaning the house. I should really do some school work but I'd rather scrub the kitchen. My nesting is not an urge to clean - more the knowledge that it HAS to be done and soon I'll be too big to do it. OH is helpful but doesn't quite do things to the standard I like, if you get what I mean. It's easier for me to do things to my standard and just remnd him about the upkeep. I just feel like time is starting to get short, with working during the week and in the evenings - I only seem to have one day a week I can use for the cleaning and sorting bean's room and the house seems to be falling down now - the kitchen door is coming off it's hinges and the bathroom door too. Argh! Sorry, mini-stress, all better now. Just needed to panic aloud.

Don't feel guilty millward, really you can only do as much as you can and now it seems like thats your limit! You push too hard you will only end up poorly which is no good for you or your jellybean! So grab that cuppa get your feet up and rub your bump! x

Congratulations angel on your baby girls x x

 

[blessed]

Congrats on your babies!!!!

 

[Angelblue]

Thanks for all the congrats, wow I'm so excited about the updated thread title! Well the Midwife that phoned the NICU this morning for an update told me wrong! It was Evie that was put onto CPAP this morning, she just needs a bit of help, Georgia is still on ventilator but might be able to go onto CPAP tomorrow. Evie is also having 1ml of milk every 2 hours now too so I'm sure she'll catch up with her big sis soon. Been to NICU twice today and they are gorgeous and been expressing for them.

I have been trying to post some pics but they are 2mb so won't work, anyone know how to save them as a smaller file size?

 

[Mystique26]

Woah, I see that we already have our first set of twin jellybeans. Woohoo!!!! Congratulations Angelblue.

Hello Ladies,

Hope you are feeling better sar35

Things here are good but I keep having hot flushes, does anyone else have this? Also I am exhausted...hence lack of activity on b'n'b.

If anyone would like a test buddy feel free to PM me I'm better on a mobile than I am on a forum I promise

Right will update again later but for now I'm so tired I can hardly think

I've been having hot flashes too! It makes it hard to breathe!

Hi girls

Georgia May was born yesterday at 12:09 weighing 3lbs 13oz closely followed by her little sister Evie Grace at 12:10 weighing 2lbs 13.5oz they absolutely beautiful we are on cloud9.

Evie is unbelieveably breathing on her own and I got a cuddle last night, they wheeled my bed round to NICU, Georgia was on ventilator last night but was put onto CPAP this morning. I'm going to start expressing today, they said they can save it for when they can start having it.

I will post a proper birth story at some point in the next couple of days, and will try and post some pics later.

Oh my goodness!!!! Congratulations! I can't believe we have Jellybeans being born already! I can't wait to see my LO.


Sorry; here comes a long rant. Thanks for humoring me with your sympathy:
Pregnancy is getting a bit tough on me now. I know we've all been complaining about similar things, but I don't know how all you ladies are handling it so gracefully! I feel bad for my OH because I've been taking out all my pain and anxiety on him, since I can't take it out on Madison. She has been moving non-stop with really strong stretches that I feel poking out on both sides at the same time. I can't sleep, I can barely walk a few steps before I get excruciating pains from what I think is round ligament pain since it's numb but hurts at the same time on the bottom of my bump. (My belly button is starting to pop out as of today, btw. I'd post a pic, but I still haven't found the energy to take my 29 week bump pics- I just can't be bothered right now!) I can't eat much since she keeps pushing on my stomach. It seems she's just discovered my bladder and how squishy it is because she's constantly playing with it. I've been crying non-stop for the last week and have been calling out from work because I can barely handle getting out of bed, much less getting ready, taking the bus, working, and taking the bus back home- and I feel worse about it because I know we need my income to get things for the baby. I am an ex-smoker and enjoyed relaxing at the karaoke bar with a drink or taking rides with my OH on his Harley. I can no longer do any of those things to relieve my stress. I know OH is trying to be super sympathetic and is constantly asking me what he can do to help me but a) I don't want to be one of those pregnant women who's constantly asking ppl for massages or to do things for them like getting them their latest craving, so I don't want to ask him for anything and b) I wonder how much he understands that I have no stress outlet to maintain a sense of normally since he can still ride, smoke, and relax with a beer. Anyone else feeling overwhelmed right now? I'm just SO DONE with being pregnant! Don't get me wrong, I want Madison to bake as long as possible, but I don't know how much more of this pain, exhaustion, hormonal imbalance, and anxiety I can take!

sorry your having a tough time hun! Think these are the hardest weeks we are in at the mo because there is still a stretch ahead but an even longer one we have already done! To top it off it is bloody uncomfortable being pregnant! I didn't really enjoy my first pg, I cried everyday when I got a bump because I thought I looked like a humongous monster, reality was looking back I had a tiny bump but doesn't make the feelings any less real at the time! I told myself I would enjoy this one because we aren't having any more children. Yet again I find days where I cry because I'm fat and feel unattractive/have nothing nice to wear, my skin looks grey and awful! And your right, you hit the nail on the head, its because we have no normality for the things we would usually do to release stress! My me if I feel shit I like some sunshine on me, so I go on holiday/sunbathe, drink a few cold beers or go shopping for something gorgeous to cheer myself up!

If your husband is willing tho hun to do some of those things you would like to feel pampered then ask him!!!! My husband is so crap whilst i'm pregnant, he refuses to go shopping for baby things - he suppplies the cash and everything else i've done on my own, he won't rub cream into my legs or help sort out the lady garden when I can't see it. He goes out as much as he likes so sometimes lots in a week sometimes not at all but is quite bad at helping with things that would help like putting our naughty 4 year old to bed or making dinner. He is not this bad when I'm not pregnant but both times he is an absolute shit so I'm recognising the theme here! So what I'm trying to say is if he is willing then enjoy the attention! hope some of the uncomfortableness eases, you will find you have good and bad days depending on position of baby on your tummy/bladder/nerves etc! chin up love, nearly the end xx

 

[smiffy85]

Well done Millward you have made the right decision! Only you know your limits hun and sounds to me like you have reached them - rest and relax thats what you need hun. And Littlemrs you said you respect me and millward for our teaching jobs - Hun I so COULDN'T work with the older kids they would drive me mental so sending respect your way for what you do! We are teachers at the end of the day and we work damn hard!!

Awww disney. Sounds like your going through a rough patch and I hope you feel some comfort soon. I agree with sar! Take some help if you need it, be SELFISH!!! Its the only time you can truly say I am lookin after me because its important! (I wonder whether I ever take my own advice I dish out on here lol)

Lots of hugs to all the mummys and jellybeans xxxx

Aww we had a great night at the bonfire and fireworks Caine loved it but bubs got a bit kicky and over excited!

MW tomorrow

Relaxing day today making cakes with little man I think!

 

[Jolene]

Disney - I'm sorry you're feeling so down Sending lots of hugs your way If you need any more just let me know!

 

[sar35]

my mil is still here and i had to ask her to hoover this morning, its hard to ask for help but its got to be done, got my gtt test on wed and consultant on thurs so busy week this week.
sorry disney is feeling down too but we are nearly at the end of it.
I was telling MIL that i have this appt this week, then in 2weeks i have appt with high risk dr and scan, then in 2weeks after that I could be hospitalised and maybe have baby within the 2weeks after that!!! madness eh
Im getting really scared about the birth and the time that leads up to it with placenta previa, scared about c section and them cutting the placenta, scared about hemmoraging (sp) Im worried they will forget about PP when the do the section. The type I have is the most serious one and at the end of the day its life threatening, so so scary

 

[Central Perk]

OMG we have babies born already! Amazing news. congratulations on your beautiful girls! xx

 

[naomicourt]

I know how you feel Disney. It really is a difficult time towards the end of your pregnancy but, you just have to try and stay focused that you are giving up all of these things because you have a beautiful little baby growing inside you and we are all on the home stretch now.

I have times when I feel so down, some days I feel exhasted and have pain in my ribs and pelvis and back and have really uncomfortable BH but, then a few days later I begin to feel a bit better again. I think if they are having a little growth spurt it makes it harder.

Big hugs for you, treat yourself to a nice relaxing bubble bath and a big bar of chocolate.

Don't worry too much Sar. They perform so many c-sections these days and come accross so many different complications that you really are in the best capable hands.



I have got my next midwife appointment tomorrow morning and am really hoping that baby is still growing ok and is not getting too big as I really do feel as though I am going to burst!

Just noticed that my baby is now the size of a honeydew melon! It feels more like a water melon! lol

 

[lovealittle1]

Disney - so sorry you are having a hard time at the moment. Try to do something for yourself get a manicure or a pedicure or go for a nice long walk just to get some fresh air and clear your brain. We are all here if you need us.

Sar - Just remember that you are in very capable hands. Ask to see the dr that will be performing the c-section before you go in so you can be reassured as much as possible.

OMG I have been nesting again all morning had a massive clean and clear out!

Hello Ladies!!!

I sure do hope that everyone is doing well.. As for me I am having me up and down moments

Yesterday during church I truly felt like I was going to pass out. My heart felt like it was racing and mind you I was only sitting down, I also felt lightheaded. My mom went and got me a bottle of water and I started to feel a little better.. I don't think it's dehydration because the night before I drank tons of water.

Tomorrow I have to go in for a shot because of my blood type being O- And hopefully my results from my Glucose test is in by then.

I am so tired these last few days I can barely keep my eyes open.

Last night I felt like I was going to go into labor, this little girl was doing some abnormal moving and I was sure she wanted to come out last night.

I hope and pray these next few wks hurry up
