[Blue_bear]

Woo, i hope so SB! Any more updates from Wez?

Oh and has anyone heard from Anna? I dont think she has been on here and theres no updates on fb, just wondered if they were doing ok really!

Im sat here in my pants and hubbys t-shirt in front of the fan....must look oh so attractive! lol.

Wow that is exciting!!! Keep us posted and good luck Beth!! Wow another baby coming soon xx

 

[Hann12]

Yippee SB!! Keep us posted! Very excited for you!

BB - not heard from Anna - she must be busy bonding with baby

 

[mummySS]

Ooh SB keep us posted! Exciting

Wez has been quiet, hope she's ok. Hopefully for her she is in proper labour!

 

[BlueViolet]

No more updates from Wez since she was sent home last night. I wanted to text this morning to ask how she's doing, but I didn't want to wake her up in case she managed to get some rest between contractions. I hope she's okay and that hospital came to its senses and told her to come back. I can't imagine sending a woman home with contractions 2-3min apart.

Eve, glad Saraya is okay and you got to bring her home

Claire, CONGRATULATIONS! I can't wait for pictures. I bet she's a cutie pie!

DM, I'm waiting for pictures of Sophie too (I'm not on FB). She sounds adorable.

SB, sounds like things are progressing for you. You're almost there

Curlew, get some rest, woman! I can't believe all the stuff you can get done in one day. Puts me to shame.

Mel, hope you feel better soon!

Hann, have fun at the hair dresser's tomorrow. Post some pics after

Caz, we should start a bakery! I really want to learn how to decorate fancy cupcakes. It would be so much fun. Sounds like you're having a nice relaxed evening. Enjoy

Hope the weather cools off for you guys. Here it's a bit overcast and in the low 70s. It's not pretty, but it's comfortable. We just got back from brunch and I stuffed myself silly. I ate a piece of cake and ice cream for dessert (not all at once). I'm such a piggy! Now my husband is going to a cafe to do work and I think I'm tagging along with a book. We'll see how long I last. I might bring the laptop with.

 

[DragonMummy]

Hey all. We're all home now. The first thing I did when I got in was top and tail Sophie as an excuse to properly wash all the gunk out of her hair since it was all matted and grim. I've put my birth story on my journal as it's quite long - should be link in my siggy!

Anyway here is my beautiful Sophie

[Aaisrie]

[Tor81]

Firstly a few congratulations…

Congratulations to Sparkle on baby Maisie
Congratulations to Claire on baby Niamh
Congratulations to Linds on baby Sophie

Fantastic hear all this great news!! Love to you all & hope the first few days are going well.


Sounds like Wez should be next, very surprised they sent her home but I guess if they thought she wasn’t ready then its better to be at home than stuck in a hospital. Thinking of you Wez.

And SB shouldn’t be long after, the bloody show is 12-48 hours before I think! Good luck hun.

Eve, was so worried when I first heard about Saraya but pleased she is now back home and doing well, it must have been horrible for you.

Jenni, I didn’t realize you’d have to have a c sec if labour doesn’t start naturally for you so I hope it does.

Mel, glad you could get checked out at the doctors today, it’s much better to put your mind at rest.

Simmy, are you still itchy? The hot weather can’t help. The bucket of cold water for your feet is a fab idea though, wish I’d thought of that earlier, I can barely bend at the ankle I’m so swollen, and more in one foot.

Doods, I love the name Lorelai, (although Naomi is lovely too), and I think you should go with what you like & feels right, probably a good idea to leave the decision until you meet her, I think you’ll have a moment of clarity then and decide one way or the other.

SB, such a cure story about the baby swimming with you. And I’ve got to mention how yummy your cakes looked, I imagine they’ve all gone by now?

Hann, medium rare steak will be fine, especially now as really the only reason we’re avoiding all these foods is the slightly higher risk of food poisoning which we didn’t want before full term in case the bowel movement induce labour. Apparently that’s why people eat curry to bring it on!

Curlew, we had roast chicken tonight too! Loved it but felt a bit out of keeping with the weather! ☺ Has your DS finished school for summer already? That seems early but I suppose we are almost in July!

Linds, how is Harry now? Has his new sister made him feel better? And what about M’s arm?!

Last day at work tomorrow - woohoo!!

xx

 

[gw76]

Was just having a wee think - haven't heard from Sherri - hope all is going well

Eve, glad that Saraya is home - hope she is feeling better soon Also hope that you get a decent night's sleep tonight....

SB- hope things progress for you...

Tor81 - enjoy your last day tomorrow

Doods - I think Lorelai is a lovely name - unusual, and not difficult to pronounce - everyone always has something to say about name choices...

 

[SugarBeth]

SB- oh no there goes my second partner in crime due date, I am going to be left on my lonesome I have been hoping for a bloody show as well and nadda yet, maybe you will get your w/e baby after all!
good luck and yes please keep us posted!

Aww, so sorry Britt! Have you attempted any inducing methods? I've been trying to get this girl out the last four days, hoping she's finally listening! I hope you go soon as well! Best of luck!

And SB shouldn’t be long after, the bloody show is 12-48 hours before I think! Good luck hun.


SB, such a cure story about the baby swimming with you. And I’ve got to mention how yummy your cakes looked, I imagine they’ve all gone by now?

Thanks, Tor!

Shockingly enough, there are about five chocolate cupcakes left! Now that I've seen my bloody show, I'm not touching them - I'm hoping they're working to convince her to come out!


So far I've had lots of backpain, and pain that's in my tailbone, with lots of pressure all down there. Been having lots of period like cramps as well, but nothing too strong. It's been about four hours now, I have my fingers crossed that things will start picking up soon!

 

[DragonMummy]

Tor Harry is still quite poorly. He was very unwell today when they came to pick us girls up (although partially DH's fault for not keeping on top of the calpol/ibuprofen regimen, never mind) and he was hideous this evening. I think the green eyed monster kicked in on top of feeling rubbish. We have decided to keep on with normal chastisement but of course we weren't expecting him to be poorly on the weekend Sophie arrived and came home so it's difficult to know whow far to let him push. I am determined not to let him be pushed out though. We're keeping him home from nursery tomorrow because he is unwell but really its so we can have a normal day with him that just happens to have a baby in it.

Britt, Claire was same due date as us too!

Re the steak. medium rare is fine. The main issue with steak is with the bacteria on the outer surface which any real degree of searing beyond blue will sort out no problem. The only issue is with things such as steak burgers because obviously then the outer surface is mixed in to the entire product rather than just being on the outside.

Tor enjoy your last day!

DM, gorgeous photos! I love the close-up of her sleeping and the one with her brother. She does have a lot of hair

I sent Wez a text close to 3hrs ago to ask how she is and she's still getting contractions every 3min at home. She said she's having back labor. Poor woman! She was going to take a bath to see if it helped. I can only imagine how frustrated she must feel. I hope her baby boy makes an appearance soon. I bet she can't wait to meet him.

 

[MrsWez]

Thanks ladies for all the well wishes. Still contracting every few minutes, for 40 seconds at a time. So very frustrated, disheartened and depressed. The nurse thinks I have a great contraction pattern, just not dilating. This can't be good for baby, he is so active all the time, he must be getting worn out too. Going to go to the Dr. in the morning and see if he can give me a sweep. I don't know what else to do. I just want to cry. I'm not going to be in much I can't concentrate for very long right now.

 

[gw76]

Just noticed that some of you ladies are doing international texting - you probably already use it, but just incase you don't - whatsapp (itunes) is brilliant, I use it with family and friends who are in the UK - it is FREE!!! It can be slow at times, but it's FREE!!!

Also, MrsWez - I hope things get going for you soon...contractions that close together for that long = not fun... good luck
