GL Apple! sorry to hear about your friends mmc. Theres a lot of support on the PAL boards on here. You could direct her that way if she's up for it!

39 wks tomorrow and I am SO ready for this baby!
 
GL Apple, soo sorry to hear about your friend, how far along was she??

Its been a mad hetic weekend. Had a BBQ for DS on sunday so had all the shopping & prep on saturday to do & then the BBQ on sunday. Really worked hard this time making sure all the prep was done the day before & with keeping on top of things on the day after i had a hell of a lot of tidying up to do after DS 1st birthday.

DS was up early the next day for his birthday & we had to do 2 sittings with present opening, once before OH went to work & then when he got home. DS went out with his grandad while i went to my mum for a few hours. I think all that hard work & not resting has caused the SPD. Had it a little with DS but from earlier on, thought i'd got away with it this time but maybe not. Spent quit a bit of time sitting yesterday & when i woke this morning i didnt feel any pain down the front of my hips so thought the pain was just a one off.

Had serious nesting issues today. Had OH get all the baby stuff down from the loft that was in there last night. I started by putting a load of clothes (not babys) in washing this morning & i've just gone mad doing load after load of washing. Doing things like all the bedding even our quilt & pillows, the washing machine hasnt been off all day, i'm suprised its not smoking lol. I've also been cleaning out & rearanging cupboards, cleaning sides & floors & sorting DS's toys, i never went through this nesting thing with DS. By 5pm my hips started hurting again :( think its a case of i'm doing too much but i just have this urge to clean (soo not me at all).

Think i've started having the clear out too (sorry tmi), i never had this till early labour last time. It started yesterday which really made me panic as i really didnt want the baby to come on DS's birthday. Thankfully baby didnt lol.

Really really hoping i can get till next wednesday before baby comes x
 
Thanks for the best wishes everyone. I'm leaving in an hour. See you on the other side of mummyhood x
 
Good luck apple! U will have ur precious baby in ur arms soon!
 
Good luck apple! you should have baby by now and i hope its all gone amazing!

I on the other hand have been admitted to hospital to monitor my blood pressure. It was high this morning at my OB appointment so he just wants me watched for 24 hours. Hoping it cooperates so i can go home tomorrow.
 
Good luck Apple, sorry to hear about your friend. :( Such a horrible thing to go through, hope she's ok.

Congratulations to everybody who's already had their precious arrival! Lots of very busy mummies, can't believe how quickly the time has gone.

How is everybody doing? These last weeks are dragging! Hope all the little ones are settling in well and that the mummies and daddies aren't struggling too much with the sleepless nights!

Dhime, how is your little man doing?

Looking forward to hearing more news from everyone
xx
 
JMANDREWS - I am so sorry. I don't think I congratulated you. I am very happy for you. She is just beautiful.
CINGRA - he is doing well. ripped out his own feeding tube the other day. I guess he is ready to feed like a normal baby. lol He is up to 5 lbs now and has another month to go in NICU. He has more good days than bad. I am hoping to bring him home at the end of August. FX

Meanwhile GL to everyone enroute to momdom.
 
dhime, happy to hear an update! cant wait to hear your going home!

I had some weird pains last night that turned into nothing! Bummer! Oh well, guess I'll have to be patient a little longer! Appt today. Hopefully they at least tell me he's on the way out!
 
DHime- glad to hear Tristan is making good progress!! Yay 5lbs already!!!!

Hi everyone sorry I tool so long to update you.

Baby alistair was born by c section at 5.05 Pm he weighed 7lb 4. I was worried I wouldn't get my section that day as they had so many emergencies I was waiting for 10 hours. I am very glad u didn't let them put the catheter in at 7am! The operation went well and wasn't painful even the spinal was fine. The recovery is hard couldn't get up until the next day but it seems to improve each day. We got to go home yesterday afternoon and I'm loving being in familiar surroundings. Breast feeding is hard bit I'm perseverering and my milk is starting to come in. He's very sleepy baby the hardest is getting him to latch as he falls asleep or gets frustrated.

I haven't read up on posts whole I'm away but will soon. Hope you are all well. X
 
Congratulations Apple! And Dhime, 5 pounds is a big landmark!!

Today is our 5 year anniversary! We are going to eat at my favorite overpriced restaurant, and then to the theater! Only a week away from moving into our house, I'm begging bubs to STAY IN THERE until then!!
 
Congrats Apple!

Can't believe we have so many Sunbeams arriving!
 
Congratulations Apple! Tickle his feet if he tries to sleep while BF. Thats what a nurse told me to do eith my DD. Hope your recovery goes smoothly!
I hopr i dont have the wait you had. They've indicated i will be the first one of the day.
Only 6 more days for us!
 
Congrats Apple, hope you are enjoying your new bundle! How are the two of you doing? Good luck with the BFing, I'm sure you'll both be fine with a little practise :)

DHime, so glad to hear Tristen is doing so well, 5lb is great! What a clever little man and mummy, lots of love to both of you!

Sprout is due tomorrow and I've just lost my mucus plug! Had a little bit of (tmi) brownish streak in it and was kind of off colour yellowish all through, I know it could still be ages away but really hoping she follows in her dad's footsteps and arrives on her due day! :D Will keep you all posted!
 
Thanks everyone I tried tickling his feet it works for a bit he just gets so sleepy! I'm absolutely in love with him. Milk came in! And I'm so proud that he's getting better at latching :)

Dhime sounds like baby is doing really well congratulations on 5lb. Everyone must be getting excited about their upcoming arrivals, I cant explain how different life is now!
