Whoo hoo how exciting to see Sophie has been born! Bet she is such a cutie! Can't wait to see photos!

Back from my parents, decided it was better to be at home with all my stuff bearing in mind the pains I was getting. Think its all stopped but feel better being back!

 

[Hann12]

Wez - keep us updated sounds like it could be you or Fi next!!

 

[SugarBeth]

Eve - please do me a favor, go take a nap and dream of me having my baby next! I'm desperate!

Also, unless Katie is born in the next day, she's not going to see those cupcakes. Between DH and I, they've been disappearing pretty quickly!

Been having lots of menstral like cramps, one got me about 20 minutes ago sharp enough to make me catch my breath. But still, nothing regular or steady.

 

[Hann12]

SB I think your close, it will be you so soon I'm sure.

I've updated the graduate thread with Sparkle and DM's news.
The girls are catching up!!
Now we need more babies! I am loving how fast they are coming now, and we haven't even got to July yet!!

 

[mummySS]

Woo congrats Linds, so pleased sophie has finally made an appearance! x

 

[samzi]

Ive had a few niggles the past 15 mins or so. Ive felt like the only one who hasnt had anything

 

[gw76]

Yay - Baby Sophie has arrived! Congrats!

 

[Squeeker]

Freckles, Elliott is gorgeous! Huge congrats!! Can't wait to see photos of Maisie and Sophie as well!!! So many babies being born, and it's not even July yet!!

Melissa and Caz, happy 37 weeks! I'm 36 weeks today!

Mmmm... Brownies... and cupcakes... and banana bread... it's too hot to bake and I have NO sweets in the house! I'd beg someone to send me some, but our postal service is on strike over here!

Bit of a TMI question. Is anyone else going for number 2s like REALLY regular? Im going at least 3 times a day at the mo, its not diorrea (sorry wrong spelling) but just really regular!

Yah, I have been going more regularly than I had been previously... but I think it's all the fresh fruit and dried apricots I've been eating... been hitting the spot lately!

Completely random but there's a group on FB called '1 million likes and my wife will let me call our baby Megatron'

Hahahahaha... poor kid!

AFM, I'm bummed because DH had training tonight so there has been no further progress on the baby's room other than what I could do alone, which was to put felt feet on the dresser and bookcase and clean some scuffmarks off the walls from when the guys did the floors. I'm trying SO hard to be patient, but I want it done NOW!!

Lindsay - congratulations to you Martin and Harry on the birth of baby Sophie.

mummy - we bought an apple pie yesterday but didn't get round to eating it lol. Hope DH can make your bread for you.

BV - hugs re losing all your playlists espcially the ones that have sentimental value, that sucks.

Hann - thanks for updating the graduate list. its keeping you busy lol.

SB - hope things progress for you soon.

slept well til 3pm now wide awake again lol. will watch an hour of tv and then try getting back to sleep.

 

[Britt11]

ahh great news on Sophie and DM, thanks for posting. We had the exact same due date, now I am really jealous
congrats to all the new mommies.
do we have a graduate thread? can someone post the link?

We had a bit of a scare yesterday with decreased movement from LO- but she checked out perfectly at the hospital and we had an u/s this morning just in case and she is totally fine. My doctor thought she was measuring small but they actually guesstimate her to weigh 8 pounds already omg, I hope I dont go over, she will be 9+ pounds- yikes

anyway, hope everyone is well

 

[sparky32]

Britt, theres a link to the graduates page on the first page of this thread, i would post here but i have no clue how to do that, sorry. Glad lo is ok, you must have got a fright, big hugs.

Curlew, i hope you got back to sleep xx

 

[caz_hills]

Sherri – if you can read this, hope you are ok. Sorry you are still so far away from home and I hope little Colby is doing alright too.

Linds - hope you are ok too and that your first night with Sophie was magical and amazing!

BV – hope you had a lovely meal in the end and that your hubbie finally made it out of the door!

Hann – good plan coming home, I hope you feel better in your own surroundings and own bed. Take care of yourself.

Melissa – are you feeling any better today after your sickness last night?

Beth – are there any cupcakes left? I hope not!!!!! Also any news as I know you were having cramps last night?

Squeeker – happy 36 weeks! Not long to go now.

Curlew – hope you managed to get back to sleep. There are always so many posts overnight from us as we can’t sleep – it’s quite funny! I guess we will be the same once our babies come too!

AFM – my TENS machine that I rented arrived today. I assume I can now try it out just to see what it’s like as before they said don’t try it until you are full-term? I’ve rented it for 5 weeks so should last until the birth! Has anyone used one before and found it useful?

I'm having a much more relaxing day today planned – Neel is at home all day and it’s our 2 year wedding anniversary on Monday so we are going out for an early celebratory meal tonight. Can’t wait

 

[melissasbump]

Wow congrats to linds martin and harry! Wonderful news! My friend had her baby at 636 this morning too a little boy called olifver! Am so excited all these babies are arriving!

 

[Doodlepants]

Congratulations Linds!!!! cannot wait to see pics!!!

Also congratulations to your friend Mel!!

Will catch up later as I'm on my way out xxx

 

[Hann12]

I'm full term today -37 weeks!!! Yippee!
Caz - I didn't know we could try the tens from full term so I'm going to try mine too
So glad to wake up in my own bed, the pains stopped but nice to be home!

Can't wait to see the photos of Sophie now!

 

[Sharique42]

Congrats DM & family great news can't wait to see pics.

Just thought I would mention on my TENS machine instructions it says you can try just 2 pads on your forearm before labour begins. My physio also said stressed the importance of putting it on when you get the first niggles of pain even if on very low & turning up as the contractions build as the reason TENS doesn't work for a lot of people is they put it on too late. So I am bearing that in mind & taking mine everywhere with me at the moment!

 

[Hann12]

Thanks Sharique, that's really good to know, I would have thought it was the opposite that you put it on later! I'm going to try it on my arm today and then have it ready for the labour whenever that happens!
Can't believe it could happen at any time now! The pains last night really gave me a reality check that this baby is definitely coming out and not too long! (even if I'm overdue hopefully it will be 4weeks or less).
Having a major house clean and sort today, hypno birth practice and going to make lemon and blueberry muffins mmm. Feeling major nesting!!

 

[Jenni4]

Congratulations DM!!! So glad Sophie is here! Can't wait to see pics and hear all about it!!

 

[Aaisrie]

DM's FB status - Sophie Kathleen Judge born at 2053 weighing 6lbs 8oz. She looks just like her brother and is feeding well. So in love

Congrats Linds!!! My premonition was right!!!!! I can't wait to see pictures!!!!
