Oh dear Hann hope Greg gets over it soon and doesn't take it out on you!

Caz - enjoy your night out.

Little Colby is so cute, I'm so pleased for Sherri and Ian :)

jenni- hope your little one stays put.
 
well from what I can see on Fb he was 5lbs 15oz (same birth weight as me - he's already onto a winner :haha:) and has a lovely little shock of blonde hair. he doesn't look dinky though, he looks a nice, solid little boy. Gorgeous. :cloud9:


Re: DH's mutant arm - yes he has been moaning and bitching about it since Sunday. I feel a bit guilty because it LOOKED fine on Sunday so I thought he was just being a moaning old woman about it. And now it looks like he dipped it in acid, it looks awful! The nurse thinks it could be cellulitis but whatever it is, it's an infection so he's been given antibiotics. Hopefully he'll notice a change in the next couple of days. But that's all we bloody need! Plus although he is sleeping fine (so he thinks) it makes him restless and moany in his sleep which of course keeps me up. Selfish I know but i've only got 6 days sleep left. Am making the most of them!
 
Oh geez DM that's all you need!! That would do my swede! If it is cellulitis I know it can be really sore because of my auntie but it does look scary... Can you not kick him onto the sofa? You really do need your sleep.

Hann I tell Chris when I've bitched about him lol Greg needs to calmmmmm and understand that we women need to moan and bitch - it's inbuilt in us!!
 
Our sofa isn't good for sleeping.... Would be too mean, especially when he's obviously in some pain. It's just shite timing.
 
He has calmed down and thankfully understands it now! Phew! I played the 'you shouldn't be reading my private posts' card which is true as I do speak to you guys very honestly and appreciate the ability to have a vent! He has said that he is going to speak to his mum so hopefully we will get it resolved one way or another!

Linds - hope the arm improves, bad timing hey!

Loving the Colby news! Not seen any Anna updates yet but assume she is in the throes of labour! More baby beach bumps coming yippee!!
 
Ah congratulations to Sherri, cant wait to see some pictures of Colby xxx
 
congrats shelly on the arrival of colby. Looking forward to the pics.

The last thing I saw from Anna on FB was that she was waiting to have her waters broken, but that was a while ago.
 
Okay, once I've done my one sided post I will go back and read about DM's mutant arm and everyone's post.

Scan went great, I'll have to have DH scan the pictures to my computer for me. I even got a free 4D pic! Jonathan weighs 6lb 6oz and is still very much a boy. DH thinks he has massive balls! LOL. Lots of fluid around the baby still and he is head down and engaged.

I'm 1-2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. I hope this means he plans on coming soon!! :)
 
Wez that's great news! Okay stupid question but what does effaced mean? I assume it's good to be effaced??
 
His face and nose, his cord is covering his mouth.

yay for colby! congrats to Sherri!

I hope Anna's okay.

DM, does your DH have cellulitis? I got a similar looking thing after I got bite by a spider 2 years ago. It burned and was very sore. Tell him to try warm compresses.

Congrats to those in single digits and those full term.

Samzi, we made it to full term!

Eve, sorry your SIL is out of her mind!

Jen, I hope DH gets back before baby decides it wants to come.

Hann, sorry your MIL is being a pain.

Thinking about you Kelly and completely understand. :hugs:

Sorry if I missed anyone. I'm sure I did but I'm getting rather sleepy.
 
Happy day! When I went in at 36 weeks I was 1cm dilated and cervix was soft and effaced. I think it happens sooner when you have already dilated once before. Hopefully means things are moving for you! And I recall that most baby boys are born with massive balls as when you are in the run up to labour, you get a few good surges of hormones which makes baby's genitals swell. Harry had MASSIVE balls when he was born (i was freaked) but they looked quite normal and proportionate in a few days.


Anyway, that aside, the important thing to mention is your piccy. What a little beauty! Oooh I could eat him all up!
 
Thanks for explaining Wez and gorgeous photo!!

I love the fb photo of Colby too!

Back trying the bouncing on birthing ball to lower the baby, I want mine to be engaged when I see the mw on Thursday. Does anyone find that their back hurts on the ball? It might just be my disc problem but wanted to see if you guys have experienced that? I am still going in it but I do find it hurts to the bottom left of my spine....
 
Sherri, can't wait to see pictures! Congrats!

Jenni, I'm not on facebook either, so that makes two of us not on there...hehe. Also, I hope your body can hold off labor until your husband gets back.

Wez, Johnathan looks beautiful. That's a great weight too. I bet you're excited that things are progressing. Am I allowed to be jealous that your cervix is already at 1-2cm?

Hann, it stinks that your husband read your post and the replies. I suppose the forum isn't quite like a diary, but we are rather frank on here and it would be unfortunate if the comments would be taken the wrong way. Hope he understands why you needed to vent your frustration.

DM, hope your husband gets better soon so you can sleep better too.

Mine still has a pulled back muscle that hurts and while I feel bad for him and have done my best to help out, I can't help but notice he can't deal with the pain. He kept complaining last night that I took up too much room in the bed due to my body pillow. At some point he asked for a back rub and said that he needs it because otherwise he can't work and we need the money. Grrrr!!! So of course I went all emotional on him and said "so my back doesn't matter because I'm working so little?" Perhaps not the greatest thing to say, but I couldn't help it. It seems like it's such an effort for him to massage my back and all of a sudden when he needs it, I should be able to do 3-4 back rubs in one day and not complain. Double standard...eh? Anyhow, sorry about the vent.
 
Result. Harry has fallen asleep in our bed. M can't lift him as his arm is bad so he is going to sleep in Harry's bed. Good nights sleep for me!!

I'm on my ball right now. It slays my back! I mean, my back almost always hurts, but the ball adds more pressure and pain to it. Hurts all the way up to my shoulders! But I want to get my pelvis and baby in position so I've been just dealing with it for as long as I can then take little breaks.
 
Hann – can’t believe Greg saw your posts! Oh no! Hope he is ok – it sounds like you had spoken to him about a lot of the problems anyway so hopefully it was ok.

Linds – your poor hubby and poor you – the last thing you needed with the countdown now on is for him to be unwell. Hope the antibiotics kick in soon and he feels better, and you can then get some proper sleep! But just seen your post about H sleeping in your bed, so result!

Wez – great news on your scan, sounds like everything is progressing well – love the photo!

BV – sorry about your hubbie being unwell too – maybe they have sympathy pains?! Hope he will give you some lovely back massages too!!!


AFM – lovely dinner with the girls (although I ate too much), now home and me and Neel are off for a walk before bed. xx
 
Sherri, SO pleased for you and your family! Welcome Colby! Best wishes for today and every day...
