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

Fraggles-hope that baby stAys put for a few more weeks.

Laura-how dare they! I would just whip out my (.)(.)'s and do it anyway.

Jade-yay for mat leave And glad you got your snow. We have loads here already 40cm's to dAte!

Still no names here. We have a long list of girl names and no boy names at all! Finally bought our car seat yesterday. Hopefully start on the hospital bag soon. Only 5 days left at work for me.
 
Mom2B what a load of cobblers, tell them to piss off, if you want to feed your baby you do that!! xx :grr:

Fraggles :hugs:

Well i definatly did want to tell them to piss off. Thats how this all started. I wrote in a huge complaint letter adn the manager emailed me and wanted to talk.
but after thinking about it for a while \i decided not to yell and swear at them like i wanted too! LOL I tried to be civil about it becuse if i were to yell and scream then they would not listen to me. And because im having a c-section I will need their help. Its not like i can jump off the surgery table adn grab my baby after they are done sowing me up...lol But I have put OH in charge of making sure baby gets to me within a half hour and the manager seems to be willing to help me. all i can do is talk with my obgyn and see if he agrees after he knows that I have talked to the manager and ifhe will not allow it I have to put faith in the manager that she will have the nurse bring me my son. But i did tell OH if they start saying they dont have time to bring me the baby that he is to get the baby to me and I dont care how he has to do it!!!!!! Im determined! and I will get my way! Ha Ha....dont mess with a new mom with raging hormones!!!!!

just out of interest why are you having a caesarean? tell me to mind my own business if you like :blush:
 
and i dont have a text buddy. but Im pretty sure none of you regulars are in canada so it would cost long distance fees and such. But I have an iPhone and im pretty sure i will be able to update you all.

I had an emergency section wth my daughter and Im chosing to have asection this time. I know what to expect and when to expect little one. I was in labour for 8 hours and only made it to 5cm before her heart rate dropped dangerously low so they rushed me in. Plus there is a chance this baby will have IUGR too and apparently smaller babies dont handle labour well. I will know more after my 33 wk u/s but figure ill do the section anyways because i didn't find it all that bad and it takes the worrying of when is baby coming out. I have only 1 person I can leave my LO with so its best for me if I know in advance when i will need her to come instead of scrambling to find someone last minute or in the middle of the night.

its for the best then, whats IUGR?
 
No snow in Lancaster Naomi, just a light dusting that is half gone now. Had a fab day with my friend, so good to giggle over old times. Have to say though the little waddle around town really wiped me out. Glute muscles aching and could really feel the weight pulling at the bottom of my bump. Sat down now and going to try and sew a little more of the tape onto the nursery curtain....they will get finished!!!
 
I had such a lovely day today with my hubby and son. We went for a picnic on the mountain and then went shopping. DH took some photos of my bump since we haven't taken any since 28 weeks. Thought I'd share them...

IUGR is intrauternine growth restriction. Basically my placenta stopped working properly and my little girl stopped growing between 28-32 weeks. She was only 4lbs 13oz when she was born. But she was healthy. She had whats called head saving IUGR. Which means her brain and head kept developing but her body stopped growing. Luckily her lungs were fully developed and she didn't require any care in the intensive care unit. I got very lucky but they dohnt know why my placenta stopped owrking. it looked fine after delivery. It was really scary thou.
 
I will be a text buddy if anyone wants? Have finished work now and am ALWAYS on here - SPAMMER :lol:
 
Hey ladies! You've all been v chatty so get ready for a long multi-quote! I feel well out of it on this timezone, you ladies have already had all your chatter by the time I arise :(

In other news I apologise for not being around the past few days. The short version is I have had a lot on at work with a major decision involving my future career - OH doesn't want it broadcast on the net so I'm being cagey for a reason lol - but hopefully it is gonna turn out for the best somehow. So not been in a very happy place this week, both me and OH have been stressed out. But feeling better this wknd.

Bean has been very very active to the point where it looks like he is trying to escape through the 'sunroof' as OH calls it lol. Was at MW on thurs morning and all is well. Measuring at 34 as I should be and all tests are fine.

Woke up to snow this morning - woooop! Not leaving the house though lol think I will just look at the prettiness from inside. Too cold and slippy to venture out lol!!

On a very positive note 5 DAYS LEFT AT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XXXXX

Hey Smiffy! Sorry you've had a poopy week, and hope things all get sorted soon. Whoop for 5 days!! Cant believe we're getting to the point of maternity leave for all you working gals (in the non-streetwalker sense of course!! :haha:) My LO is sooooo active and sh's taken to having a wander round throughout the night, which is great my already lack of sleep! Lets hope its not a sign for when shes here!

No snow here for us in CA either, which is no big surprise! I do miss the cold though, which I never thought I'd say!!! :dohh: It just makes it feel like xmas to me. We got our tree and put it up yday though, which was lovely! Watched Hook on TV as we did it :)

He
In Susie and bean news.....50 days!!!! You too Beccy. I remember commenting on Naomi's 50 day mark and just the other day is was only 30 left. It's just hit me that soon there will be a whole bunch of new little people in the world, getting so excited for us all. Lots more names to learn and pictures to gaze at :baby: I'm excited today as my best mate from Uni is coming up to visit from Liverpool, yay :happydance:

Yey to 50 days to you and Beccy! :thumbup:

Sar srom is spontaneous rupture of membranes.... When they do an internal they can see if for waters are gone.

Well im now onto the runs and irregular contractions. I've told this baby it aint allowed to come at 34 weeks. Need him to hold on a few more weeks.

It's certainly making it all feel very real all of a sudden :shrug:

Hope you are ok Fraggles and bean holds on for a little longer. :hugs:

Still discussing baby names. Do you all have your names picked out? Or a short list of names so far? I have a huge list and OH only likes 1 still and isn't helping much with giving me names he likes other than the middle names.

We have a shortlist of names but not making any decisions until she is here. I'm one of those who needs to see what she looks like first before i decide.

Hi everyone, so many pages to read again! lol

I have got a huge bruise on my bump and have no idea how I have done it. All I can think of is where I have been leaning over the kitchen worktop to get to the tap as it really does get in the way now! Especially when I am trying to eat, I think half my dinner ends up down my top, So embarrasing. :blush:

I am always spilling down myself and have been for a while now! its bad, I seem to have lost the ability to hit my mouth!! :nope: I seem to have bruised my heel yesterday too, not quite sure how! Also, when I get into certain positions or stretch my legs I feel like I've pulled a muscle down there, not sure whats going on?! :shrug: Hurts though!

I had such a lovely day today with my hubby and son. We went for a picnic on the mountain and then went shopping. DH took some photos of my bump since we haven't taken any since 28 weeks. Thought I'd share them...

Loving the pics Jolene, you look lovely. I need to take another bump photo.

Anyway, as I have no family/friends here to share it with I'm posting a pic of my tree as I love it and need to show someone!! :haha: My mum is so sweet though, she came to visit a couple of weeks ago and brought us loads of presents as she knows we wont be at home to get any. She also bought baby girl a stocking and filled it with prezzies. Made me tear up as to how sweet and generous she is as they really don't have a lot of money this year. Am missing home so much at the mo :cry:

Scary stuff, lol, hope bubs bakes a little longer but this is all getting really exciting!

Everybody seems to have snow apart from me and Sarah. Sooo not fair! I want to play in the snow. lol

I've never been in snow, how sad, lol. Naomi, you don't need any more bruising, housework is a dangerous business!

Thanks Hodbert and what a lovely tree, I see you have 3 stockings hanging up there.... We were supposed to put our tree up this evening but I'm exhausted from today so I'm catching up on e-mails rather.
 
Hey beautiful ladies,

Quite a few pages to catch up on today, will do a quick post then go and read!

@Jolene!! You look lovely! Beautiful long hair and a perfect bump! Lucky mare!! Heheheee!!

@Hodbert.. I love your tree! Mine never looks like that!! I want to get mine out of the attic now! The little stocking for your LO is gorgeous. How lovely of your mum and dad!

Houston we have a problem... I have just been into the cupboard in the kitchen to find that we have ONE tea bag left.... Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! So now I am in a pickle.. drink tea tonight or save it til tomorrow morning...

Right, off to read all the posts i've missed!!

Lisa, tree is lovely.

I'm gonna post a bit more later - I'm taking a quick break from work to catch up. Legs crossed fraggles. x
 
Tree is gorgeous Lisa! We put ours up today, love it! Sitting watching the x factor with the tree twinkling and also have some quality street! Haha feels so christmassy. :D
 
mmmmmm - quality street.

I've given up for the night. I'm about quarter of the way through but I've done the most difficult bit so i reckon it'll start to flow more in the morning.

So tired.
