July/August (Summer Sunbeams) 2012!

Forums New posts
Thanks ladies, I'm feeling better about our decision to have the c-section. Maybe because it was OUR choice and it wasn't something that was taken away from us.

I might actually be a July mommy now. I guess it just depends when my OB schedules my c-section. I'll be 38 weeks on July 27th, sooo who knows for now!

It's weird because I had just assumed I would have an August baby, but that could all change now! lol
 
haha aw you most def. could have a July baby :) Maybe you will have your baby on my EDD :)
I think she is going to come on July 17th. I keep having dreams that I go into labor... lol not quite ready for that yet.
 
Dhime- finally furniture shopping! How it goes well.

I hear swaddling cab really help them sleep for longer, fingers crossed it does. I'm planning on getting a sleeping bag too just incase.
 
I swaddled my DD. I just used her receiving blankets and regular blankets. They seemed to work well. I've been given a few actual swaddling blankets this time, so will give those a go and see how he likes them!

I have to admit, I'm also kind of hoping that this baby likes soothers like my DD did. I wasn't sure about soothers before I had my DD, but then it was a life saver and I hope this one likes them too. My niece never liked them and I remember my SIL wishing she did lol
 
I'm not sure about swaddling. I dont ever remember doing it with my DS tho i know the MW did in the hospital when he had mucus on the chest. I think i didnt bother with DS because i didnt know how.

To any of you ladies that already have a LO, are you buying a new pram or re-using one's from previous LO's???

I'm unsure what to do right now, i dont like my obaby zezu, its big, bulky, heavy & a pain to get in the boot of my car. But its the only place my DS will nap & he's still needing a nap right now. Also, its a pramette so i can change it from pram to pushchair with the click of a button so if DS wants to get in i can change it for him & put baby in the sling. I really want the babystyle oyster tho & it would be nice to get this baby at least 1 new item.

My DD will be 4 1/2 when LO arrives and we've been struggling with this one. She doesn't really use it much anymore. We will bring it when we do certain things like fairs and stuff, just in case she gets tired of walking. I want a new one though because the one I have is a pain in the butt when it comes to anything that isn't smooth pavement. I'm wanting the Graco Jogging stroller. So what we've decided to do is, I'm going to use the one we have for this summer as I don't think we will be using it a lot now that I'm having a c-section and will take longer to recover and then fall creeps up fast. We're going to buy the new one in the late winter early spring and keep the other one for those "just in case" times.
 
We've got the Babystyle Oyster from last time around so i'm thinking we'll just buy a toddler step for the back and use it again. The majority of it is pink though so i might need to perform a little stitching job on it if we have a boy :haha:
 
We are reusing our pram from last time then will prob get a new lightweight buggy when she is older.

How is everyone doing? I have a growth scan a week on Tuesday as I am measuring small apparently, I think she is ok though as she is very active.
 
For some reason I havent been invited to birthing class to be honest I dont think I would go, Cant rely on someone watching the little one every week and wouldnt get home on time from my eldest getting back from school.

Sorry for the contractions glad everythings ok the cramps could be BH or growing pains?

Heres my 34 week bump.

Im in nesting mode too need to get everything done and we only moved from england to scotland 6 weeks ago and willl go mad if its not all done soon lol

I cant tell if my little girl has dropped or not, seemed more noticeable with my 1st I have a MW appt a week weds so Im sure they will tell me. My tummy feels so tight all night tho feels like Im going to explode lol Im also feeling quite strong movements feet bum etc which is fab but sore at times xx

Good luck with the scan, I assume that's the measurement the mw takes that's behind? I wouldn't worry tooyxh as they aren't that accurate. At least you get to see baby again!
 
Yea, fundal height is definitely not accurate. Im only 30 weeks and my tummy is at 36 weeks and baby is only 6 days ahead lol

Ive been nesting for a little while, but ive also been off work for 6 weeks now so lots of time on my hands. Spent time yesterday cleaning and sorting ALOT yesterday. Got sooo much done and very happy about it. Now just need to get babys stuff ready and we're all set, ut trying to pace myself to give me something to do from now until he's here lol
 
Yeah fundal height is measuring small. It is an inaccurate measurement and doesn't help that iv not seen the same midwife twice this pregnancy. Gonna ask at scan to double check sex as I keep getting worried that she is going to come out a he.

lol I did the same thing. I wanted to make sure and double check. He gave us a veeery clear view this time around. I have to have growth scans every month til he's here, so 2 more booked. I don't mind, get to see him more then normal!
 
Made a trip to the E.R. this morning. I became super light headed, hot, shakey, and nauseas to the point where I thought I was going to pass out and had to sit on the floor. DH took me to the E.R. The nurse said I looked very pale and when they asked me simple questions I couldnt think to answer them. After 3 hours there getting blood/urine tests and being pumped full of fluid I am feeling much much better. Found out I have a UTI... so I am starting antibiotics. Dr. Wants me to take it easy for a couple of days and get some rest. Everlee was feeling just fine, she was kicking and squirming around the whole time. Love my baby girl. I'm glad she is ok.

oh no that sounds horrible. i never knew a uti could make you feel that bad. i hoe you feel better soon. take it easy x
 
jmandrews - wow. I am glad you are okay though. The LO too.
Isn't it weird how our bodies no longer handle things the same way
 
Thanks ladies... yeah it is crazy. Not sure if the UTI caused it, but I am glad they caught my UTI. :) i am so ready to be full term its not even funny
