Ok I think I got everything updated on the first page..we need to have like one baby a day

i'm home now. my contractions were 5-10 minutes apart at home so I went to the hospital, while there my contractions changed to 2-5 minutes apart. when they checked my cervix I was only dilated like half a cm more than I was on Wednesday and was still thick and posterior. they ended up discharging me saying they expected to see me back today in full blown labor. I asked when I should come back since my contractions were regular and right on top of each other and all they said was when the pain is worse..so great right!?!? im still having contractions but they've seemed to die down a little but who knows maybe something will happen this weekend..they said they wont assist in labor (induction) until i'm at 39 weeks so here's to another week!

That will do for me !

She has some beautiful colourful socks, last thing I want to do is cover them over with the sock ons because they look a little ugly!

And I don't like the look of Sophie Giraffe thing :-/ I am really picky haha, so we'll wait to choose teething toys a bit further down the line I think.

Although I have decided on two Lamaze Toys!! Pupsqueak and Bella Bunny - my big sister is buying them for baby


tlh - sorry you got sent home and things seem to be calming down - was sure you'd be posting your announcement. Good to know they want you to go back in when 'the pain gets worse' what good is that, you could fly through progression for all they know! Anyhoo - praying baby comes soon for you and doesn't keep you waiting too much longer especially with contractions!

You're doing a great job with the updates

 

[Pink Flowers]

Th sorry you are back home

Sue we are getting rusty the robot for monster but I might wait as they dont realy need toys the first few week lol x

Jack loved his Sophie the giraffe, though it's expensive for what it is and looks like a dog toy he did chew on it alot and loved the squeak. He wasn't interested in any other teething toys.

 

[sue_88]

Sophie is here for only £8 ...... https://www.littleacornstomightyoaks.co.uk/shop/teething/Sophie_the_Giraffe

(stealing your website Pink!)

I did think she was expensive but thought £8 was ok.........still don't really like her


Yeah Pink I am waiting until 1-2 weeks after birth to buy the toys, Samantha isn't over in the UK until September so she'll hand over the cash then for them as a gift.

 

[Pink Flowers]

She feels weird to me. But thats just me lol.

I gave olivers away with in a few months of having it

Linkies are a good toy for newborns. I will find a link x

Maratobe, lovely birth story and what a chunky monkey!! I think I missed how much she weighed? I'm glad you are all ok and her big sister loves her already, how sweet.
Your photos are gorgeous, I love babies with fat rolls!

So there's definitely a little bit of fluid leakage going on. Called the doc and he said if the membranes are ruptured it'll increase pretty soon and I should wait for that. Not to worry about the little stuff. (So at least I don't have to worry that I'm ignoring something that I shouldn't be!) Really don't want to have to be induced so I'm much happier staying put until baby decides to make his own entrance. (Of course I'd much rather it be during the day so I'm not waking my friends up in the middle of the night to deliver my toddler!)

No contractions or cramps either, just really thirsty and not at all hungry.

Hope it is the start of something Becca x

Well it turns out that our April baby wanted to also stay a July Sunbeam. After 77 LONG days in the NICU, over 150 trips to the hospital to visit with him, two rounds of antibiotics, a blood transfusion, 50+ different nurses, a paycheck's worth of parking and hospital food, two potential discharge days that have come and gone, countless challenging conversations advocating for his care, many setbacks and heart breaks,...Connor finally came home on Tuesday!!! We are adjusting to and enjoying life as a family outside the confines of a hospital and so thrilled to finally be living under one roof. Here are a couple pics of Connor....our former 3lb 7oz little baby has packed on the pounds and is now 8 1/2 pounds!

I have some catching up to do on this thread but I see on the front page that many of you have had your little ones since I've last been here. Congrats!!! And best of luck to those of you in the final days and weeks before you finally get to meet your own babes.

[sue_88]

Wonderful news Myra, you must be delighted! Welcome home Connor!!

 

[Pink Flowers]

So I text my mum "Will I be able to tell what contractions feell like" and she phoned me thinking I was in labour. I shouldn't laugh but it made me giggle

 

[sue_88]

Lol pink!! Mothers!

Granted mine isn't real life but I had a dream last night that I made a noise or something and my mum jumped up and said "omg is it happening" lol

I was actually a bit mad at her when I woke up for being so 'enthusiastic' but then acknowledged it was a silly dream

 

[Pink Flowers]

hahaha that sounds like a strange dream sue!

 

[sue_88]

I don't usually dream much so it was weird. Probably because yesterday everyone kept asking about baby it was on my mind!

 

[Pink Flowers]

yeah, I think you dream a lot about what is on your mind.

I had a dream this morning that I was 4 months over due

 

[ProudArmyWife]

Congrats Myra! That's awesome news
