~*~* July Sunbeams *~*~43 Babies Here So Far!!! 25 Boys / 18 Girls

[MissFox]

Had to stop by hubbys work site to bring more stuff for his lunch and showed up and he is on the roof shirtless. Mmmmmmm. I'm totally sitting in the car oogling him. He has gotten so much more muscle definition since working. So sexy. Just needed to tell someone

 

[kaths101]

Just sat doing something quite horrible......I do have a basic will currently that details where Millie is going and that my mum is the beneficiary of all my money incase something happens to me.

But I haven't ever made a list of what is what - bank details / direct debits for someone to tidy up incase something happens to me It's such a horrible thing to have to do but got to be done just in case. Sat here working a bit, then sobbing.

Also think I will write a little letter to Millie, again just in case. Oh now crying again bleugh, need to work quickly to get it finished.

gosh I've never done that, but my family do know what to do if anything happens.
I do go through phases of thinking of something happening to me and thinking of jack and baby without a mummy ...It just leaves me in floods of tears every time! Blimey you've started me off now!

I know, shit it's so horrible the first time my mum and dad talked to me about their wills and that I now needed to think of writing one for Millie I just burst into tears and we all cried together for about 20 minutes. Then my poor sister had just got home from her nursing placement (1st year, 1st ever placement) and had unfortunately had to deal with her first death and we were all talking about wills. We all cried again and hugged horrible. But it is so important to do, the thought of my mum and dad having to fight for Millie breaks my heart so made my will so water tight that no one can contest and win (i.e Andy).


I just had to ring my big sister to talk to someone as I was feeling very alone and really didn't want to upset my mum. That phone call on my mobile to Tenerife will have cost me a fair fortune.

For what it's worth it took me a few mins to get everything down, now it's saved and closed down and I will get a printer tomorrow and print it.

I've actually decided against the letter, I started it but for some reason it just didn't seem right writing it - it didn't feel right. My mum and dad know how much she's loved etc so they would tell her all about me in the very small chance I am not around, their memories will be better than saying "I love you" on a piece of paper. So I'm not going to do that.


But now it's done, safe and sorted! Back to not crying and having a positive mental attitude!

Those of you that have had inductions how far in advanced were they scheduled? My doctor told me she'd induce at 39 weeks I have an appt tomorrow and wondering if shed schedule it now so I can give my in laws some notice to watch my daughter since they are so far away

 

[MissFox]

In was offered to schedule induction at 39 weeks for when I wanted. That was with my DD. This time it is too soon to be mentioned

 

[BeccaMichelle]

Wow - I was just sat at the OB's office this morning reading an article about irresponsible docs offering inductions before 39 weeks. Apparently the kiddos can have lower iqs down the road if you tell them to get out before they're ready?? I don't know. I asked my doc about it and she said they let you go a week over your due date before an induction.

Alice - You have to have a girl because Callista is my all time name (but you already knew that!) and now I'm never going to get to use it. It would nice to have a Callie kicking about somewhere. lol

Sue - I bought a journal when Jessica was born and instead of "dear diary" every day that I wrote in it was more, "dear little one," or "dear jessica" just generally directed at her. Something she can read when she decides on kids. Just little stuff like.. "wow you slept really well last night" or "I can't believe you can talk" etc etc Before I had my gallbladder out I wrote her a long letter in it though. Just a nice collection of stuff I can give her when she's older but also get off my chest and tell her now even though she doesn't understand.

No prob Motherearth I'll shift it around for you.

MissFox - LOL love it. You'll have to tell him. He'll feel all manly.

 

[BeccaMichelle]

ps. Kaths go look at the spreadsheet.

 

[kaths101]

Glad you managed to talk to someone sue and you've got Millie's future secured.

I've felt very down today too. I'm not sure why, I think I'm feeling overwhelmed with having two babies to look after on my own and jack is being such hard work but also very very loving and I feel bad for him that his world is about to change. He has such a temper and is so stubborn at the moment I struggle with him let alone with a newborn! I'm sure everyone with a child feels this at some point or other.

Anyway lets pick ourselves up and forget all this depressing talk, we will be fine and as you say lets think positive!

 

[Pink Flowers]

my pelvis has gone

Baby is going to get stuck like Oliver did.

 

[sue_88]

Thats a lovely idea Becca. Really sweet

Kath you'll be a wonderful Mummy of two as you're a wonderful Mummy of one already............Jack is probably just sensing something big is going to happen soon and testing you and then also watching cuddles and attention. When he's here you can make him feel really big and really special as a big bro and get him involved in the new little ones life. Nappy changes, bathing bubs etc. He'll adjust

 

[sue_88]

Pink Can you see a chiropracter / oesteopath?

The waiting list is 6 weeks. When I looked before it stopped so I cancelled the appointment and now it is too late to go.

I will just have to get on the ball if I can actually sit on it, the only way I can get comfy at the moment is with my legs out in front of me.

 

[sue_88]

What about going private? My oesto appointments were usually about £25/£30, would that be an option. You don't want to be in so much pain

 

[Pink Flowers]

I will look at private actually. Martin has me on his health care, so I will phone them and ask them how quickly they can give me an appointment. x

 

[sue_88]

Good idea !! Make sure you mention being a tubs.....I mean pregnant.....over the phone (I joke of course )

 

[caro103]

No idea honestly.

Flooding is covered on my insurance but then not sure it would be covered because it was essentially intentional? Who knows.

Luckily though they said they wouldn't do it - and I will have enough people in the house to lift me out quicker than trying to find me after I'd be washed down the hallway

can u imagine the headlines 'pregnant woman washed down street delivers baby girl...'
I've always been told really I agree to get out the pool if they ask me to (for baby's or my health), in reality last time they asked me to get out to check I wasn't pushing on a lip of cervix as it'd been a while and no sign of baby and it actually took me about 30mins to pluck up the courage , however if they'd said it in such a way I thought it was really important i'm sure i'd have found it within me to climb out! of course if mum goes unconscious or something dramatic i'd have thought it'd be better to quickly deflate just the top layer then pull woman out!

Sue, little monkey still swimming freely.. I can't believe they would slit the pool I'm sure no one would be happy with that! Hope button has his swimming armbands on

I've just found something else to worry about!
My baby is due on the 13th July, the same day as Kate Middleton. I've just read that If they have a boy the favourite name is George...and that's MY name *stamps feet.. If they have theirs first, everyone will think I've copied so just so you lot can back me up... I chose it first OK?

I worry about this too!! we've not told anyone our names, but the boys name in particular could be a likely name for the royal baby :/, grrrr! fx'ed we'll have ours first

sue - that's insane. They SLIT the pool?! dear God can you imagine the damage to the property?!

Tonya - lol weird or what? We've picked Nathan James for our baby if it's a boy. What are the chances?
We originally picked Nathan Lucas but we went off the name Lucas a couple of weeks ago because a little boy called Lucas kept being absolutely horrible to our DS1 Alex, so I suggested to DH that we change to James and he said yes.

So we'll both have boys with the exact same name if you go for that one, and if mine is a boy haha.

kaths - I bet you'll have yours before Kate does anyway

floating - sorry your boobs are giving you problems


I've done something to myself. Tripped over a step (I didn't fall over onto the floor or anything, but I stumbled) and it sent a shockwave through my pelvis and now I feel as though I've been kicked in the groin by a horse.

ouch, hope it settles down soon! and hope you've avoided the bug in your house!

I've felt kinda emotional today too, its def a very scary thought toddler and newborn, but somehow we'll all manage!!

fx'ed you manage to get a private apt!

 

[sue_88]

Well with this little madam heading back to back I am getting quite a bit of lower back pain..........do you think I can use my TENS for a little while??

Im only thinking two pads, not the full 4 with two at my bra line, just the lower two on my knicker line.

Would it be effective? I have been told I could use it after 37 weeks.......what do you ladies think?

Or should I use my microwave wheat bag?

 

[caro103]

i'd prob use heat sue, back ache can be the start of labour though

xx

Yeah I'm going to try the heat first now, as it has eased a bit, but if it comes back I will be using the TENS. I'll take it up so it's next to my bed just in case!

[Pink Flowers]

I would give it ago Sue MIL uses one for her back ache x

OMG baby is in my ribs. one minute he drops and next minute his in my ribs!
