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

[Jolene]

No Susie, I have everything ready and I don't know what to do with myself, lol. The house needs a bit of a clean but my bump is so heavy and uncomfortable that's not gonna happen.

I am glad you feel more at ease about the hospital. What is a pool room? I hope that isn't a stupid question, haha.

 

[millward329]

Thanks, it's where you can give birth in the birthing pool rather than in a room with a bed : )

Hodbert, Joe has reflux prob, he projectile vomited after a feed, he has Infant Gaviscon in his bottles now, which has solved the problem of his sickness but now he just dry heaves which isnt very pleasant for him. We have him on a vari flow teat too as it was too much effort for him using the slow flow and the fast flow was making him sick as he was taking too much.
Do my links in my sig work?

I'm totally symptom-spotting at the moment - every little niggle...

but nothing going yet. not even a BH... this is going to be a long few weeks - lol!!

I'm doing the same ever since I lost my plug! At least all us JJ's have each other to keep us sane what I am now calling the two week wait!

Haha! I like it... I think it will be fine whilst OH is off work but as soon as he goes back on the 4th Jan I think the boredom will set in!

Hi!

My baby BOY was born on Dec 23rd two days early. He was 9lbs 4oz 22inches long and his name is Levi David.

Massive Congratulations!!

I just got back from my appointment. Doctor says baby is doing well. My placenta is starting to calcify and my amniotic fluid is a bit low but that could still be fine until my original date (3rd) He just doesn't want to risk me going into labor over the busy weekend and having an emergency c-sec so he's booked me in for tomorrow 1pm I thought I'd be more excited but I just feel like I wanna throw up, lol. It just all seems so soon!

So exciting!!! Just take some time for yourself today, eat some nice food, pamper yourself etc.... just take it easy! Good luck for tomorrow! Can't wait to hear the news!

Oh right Susie, duh

Thanks Beccy I don't think you'll get time to be bored when hubby goes back to work, lol. My hubby has taken 6 weeks leave which now starts tomorrow. I am so happy as with my son he got 3 days paternity leave, pathetic!

[sar35]

[jms895]

Who was it that said once the baby dropped they were starving all the time? It's 6am here, the bump has changed shape and is smaller than last night, I got up to peeanf I'm waddling and I'm totally famished. Am actually going to get up for some toast and cereal at 6am when I could technically stay in bed all day. I think/hope i've got a good few days left anyway because I've got massive list of housework that I wrote last night in bed (it IS a bit psychotic but at least the house will be clean and tidy).
Is anyone else beginning to get the final preparations done? I remember Lisa saying that she had a final romantic meal with the OH before her induction - anyone else doing this? Because I'm not being induced I don't know when that'll be but I like the idea, especially seeing as I'm a moody cow and OH deserves a treat for putting up with me.
How is everyone feeling today? There's a lot of flu going around and am a bit worried about some jellybeans who are poorly.
Lisa, glad your babies r us trip went well, the bits you needed, was it stuff you ran out of or things you never would have thought of? I'm worried that I'm disorganised. How much longer until you can wear proper trousers again? Can't believe how active you seem
to be after such major surgery.

Hey Littlemrs, my trip was to get mainly things we didnt have enough of like burping cloths, dummies, cardigans for wearing over short sleeved tops, we bought a baby carrier, more nappies and some scratch mitts with elasric as ones we had kept falling off. I a, still in my pj bottoms all the ti,e inc outside as they are the only pair i have that sit above my scar. Also in hubbys boxers for same reason!!! I am trying to be as active as i can without completely wearing myself out as the more active i am, the quicker the recovery.

We r really struggling to get holly settled at mo. we can get her to sleeop but then she wakes up crying 5 mins later n cant figure out y - she had been fed n changed just before we put her down!! its getting quite tough now as we r gettung zero sleep n r then dead narky all day. thing is she sleeps great during the day! we r trying to keep her awake during day as much as poss but still gaving same prob!!!

Hi!

My baby BOY was born on Dec 23rd two days early. He was 9lbs 4oz 22inches long and his name is Levi David.

congrats again!!!

Another thing you could try with Holly is if you think her days and nights are mixed up,,,,,,which i think you mentinoed a little while ago?

 

[Mom 2B]

Sorry not sure what happened there!

Try to make sure day time naps are not in a super dark room this way she knows that its day time. and make sure night sleep is dark. I had this problem with my daughter and once i started keeping the curtains open a bit or having her stay in the livingroom during the day and making sure in bed at night was dark it all seemed to work its self out.

good luck!!!!!

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been awol - it was nice to know you were thinking of me tho!

Well I am still BLOOMING PREGNANT!!! GAH! Lol. Getting cross now cos I'm not sleeping well and can't sit or stand comfortably or realyl do anything lol. Thats the reason I haven't been online, I just couldn't be arsed. Sorry lol

So pleased for all the other jellybean mummies tho! Can't believe jolene is going in tomorrow, I saw it on FB earlier and got excited. And thanks sarah for settin up a mummies thread. When Im done updating on here I will be mosying over to add myself even tho my stubborn litte man seems to like just etasing me at the mo.

If your on fb as my friend you will know I am annoyed with midwifes and nhs again!! I need a 40 wk appt and my docs is booked up so have to go somewhere else and see someone different AGAIN! That will make it a total of 6 midwives since I found out about bean. Some continuity would be nice please. Plus I thought I would be priority now as I will be 3 days over already by thursday! GRRRRR! On top of that my sore throat is still here too and hasn't cleared with anitbiotics and I have developed a horrible spd pain in my right hip which means I am hobbling like a granny.

Ok think I am in a grump officially lol! I am tryin to be cheerful and stay sane but I could have cried earlier just walking to the loo!!!! OH has been awesome tho and cleaned all downstairs yesterday bless him. Hes back at work tomorrow and fri morning then we are booked to go out for a meal with friends for new years night which I am tryng to look forward to but everything is so much effort now.

Ok moan and rant over hehehe! Can't wait to hear naomi's birth story, does anyone know if she ended up vbac or c-section in the end???

xxxxxxx

 

[lovealittle1]

Congrats waiting2bmommy!!!

Good luck for tomorrow jolene!

I had a very long night loads of cramping again and b&h's. I am pretty sure baby is very low down in pelvis now as the low down cramping is getting intense! I see dr this morn so hopefully he can tell me something I don't already know. I am really thinking this baby will be here soon though!!

 

[iprettii]

Hello Ladies!!!

Nothing much has been really going on, on my end.. I usually have pressure on the lower part of my bump when I walk, sleeping at night is more of a task than anything else, my LO's movements are MORE now and way more painful now.
I do have my 36wk appointment today which I'm sure won't be eventful because I don't see/feel a change in me from 6 days ago.

I hope everyone has a blessed day!!!

 

[Mom 2B]

Morning fellow Jellies....I have my 35 week growth scan today. Hopeing baby boy isn't any farther behind than he was last time. I also see my dr tomorrow about my PUPPP and im going to see if he has another prescription I can try.....if not I want this baby out at 37 weeks cuz im giong insane with the ithing.
I can't believe my boy will be here in 2-4 weeks.....its crazy!!!!! ive been washing up the last of the clothes that a friend gave me. She had like 6 snowwuits for her little boy! I dont know what to do with them. I dont even need one. I bought a car seat cover and plan to use blankets instead of a snowsuit. Sure hope i can find someone who can use them.

Anyways ill update later after my u/s but just so you know im totally prepared adn expecting them to tell me that baby stopped growing and will be tiny like my daughter. I figure if I go in there prepared for him to be small it wont break my heart if he is and ill be plesantly surprised if he is not small.

Hi girls

Well the nesting has finally gotten me, my kitchen has been brutalised with bleach, spray, scrubbing and wiping and the Christmas decorations are slowly disappearing one by one. I'm not usually such a Christmas spoiler but every time I walk past one I feel it has to go! My friend was due 21st dec has had a sweep today and is already 3cm dilated so expecting huge baby envy tomorro if her midwife is right and she goes into labour tonight!

I'm doing my belly cast I was bought as a gift tonight but then I'm officially ready to give birth! X

 

[jms895]

I am so excited for you Jolene!

I am still getting back ache but only when active. Also had another clear out not getting my hopes up tho!

One week until D Day!

Aww lovely, wish I had a cast! Mine too with the decs, tree still up but everything else gone! Toys cleared out and downstairs tidied today. Upstairs tomorrow!

 

[Disneydancr]

Yay for new births!

Sorry for those ladies who are feeling poorly.

My appetite's back too... I'm so happy to be able to eat a decent portion of food again!

I have a MW appointment today because....
Full term today!!!!!
I'll keep you ladies updated when I get home.

 

[Jolene]

It's all so exciting now with everyone's symptoms. And to those who aren't having signs, well it could be you next, lol.

I don't know whether Naomi had natural or c-sec but if you've seen her pic on FB you wouldn't say she gave birth at all, she's looking great!

Jojo, please post a pic of the cast. Are you going to paint it too?

I have attached 3 of the photos from our home photo shoot. Still want to photoshop them a bit but haven't had a chance.

 

[sar35]

lovely photos Jolene x

 

[jojo-m]

ah Jolene your pics are gorgeous!

My stupid husband instead of helping me do the cast decided to take corey up to his stupid parents and I tried to do it on my own - not the best idea i've ever had, the whole thing came apart and collapsed because I was making little movements to get the next strip. I'm so mad at him! that was a gift too! I don't know if I'll have time to get another one or not but hopefully he will at least make an effort to take the photographs I asked him to! x

 

[jms895]

Jolene lovely pics!

Happy full term Regina!
