July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[Twiglet]

Apparently some ladies hormones do another shift around before she goes into labour and she begins being sick again MW said this may well indicate I have a sicky labour too! Ohhh I am so looking forward to it now!

Am off up to my mums now as she has my new laptop there and I fancy a walk out of the house. Fully charged mobile so am prepared

 

[wishingonastar]

good girl! lol

 

[Elliebank]

Sorry for the delay girls, been out all day.

SJK text me today to say baby boy Kirkham was born at 12.50pm, weighing 7lb 15.5. All is well & he looks just like his brother!!!

Congrats SJK & family xxxx

 

[TigerLady]

CONGRATS, SJK!!!!!

Wow -- I suddenly feel like we are all going to be popping!

 

[Elliebank]

BTW, Kirkham is her surname so I presume they don't have a name yet. Only just realised that

 

[elley_baby248]

I was about to say Kirkham is an unusual name lol!

I've been so uncomfy today and such a ratty cow but don't know why.

 

[TigerLady]

Just thought this was so cool.

I was asking ladies in my journal if they thought Otter had started to drop.. Meli Tia took the to comparative pics I had up and ghosted them. I think he is really dropping! One pic is 35 weeks and the shadow outline is today at 37 plus 5. He started dropping Wednesday.

Don't think I mentioned it here yet, either... but Doc thought Otter has finally gone head down! Nothing like last minute! Scan on Monday to confirm and get new growth measurements. Then we will decide on Wendesday whether I am going to be induced or just have the section on July 20th. If he is head down, I think I am going for inducement, even if he is HUGE!

 

[whitelilly]

TL he doesn't look huge!

This was me- a MONTH ago!!!

 

[TigerLady]

haha! Wow -- he looks like he is bracing his feet on your spine and stretching his head out your belly button!

 

[wishingonastar]

ummm... girls - where's godiva today??? she's usually on at least once per day - please please please say the sweep worked for her...

 

[Elliebank]

Oh yeah! Does anyone have her no?

 

[wishingonastar]

nope! she's based abroad cos of hubby so i don't know if anyone would have it...?

 

[TigerLady]

OO!! Good spot, Wishing! Hope she is okay and bubs is coming!

 

[geogem]

[TigerLady]

And only 2 pushes?!?! Are you secretly superwoman??

 

[wishingonastar]

[Twiglet]

Ohh hopefully its worked out for Godiva!

Gem he is gorgeous! Congratulations

Well I tried Gem's trick of going for a walk...all its resulted in is backache and sore hips might try the swinging trick that was suggested in your journal wishing

 

[Sarah+]

Oh, Gem! He is just lovely. Congratulations How are you feeling?



Well after two days, all my pains have stopped! So guess it was nothing.

 

[whitelilly]

he is gorgeous gem!!!

i can't wait to find out who is next!!!

won't be me i don't think, although been having strong braxton hicks and woke up this morning wwith the most horrendous period type cramps but think that was just because i was bursting for a pee!

i am away tonight on holiday (only an hour away but we go every year) so I will be on less regularly over the next week or so... will text one of you if anything happens! xx

 

[Twiglet]

Yeah I very much doubt it will be me either, can hope though eh?

Liam's being very mean right now he wont get up till 9 as he wants a lie in but I've been awake since 4 and up since 5...surely he should share in my misery?
