An I overreacting or not ladies? I went to a friends house for a BBQ. All the people there knew I am pregnant and we were all discussing names etc and having a giggle. However a few people there smoke and they all randomly starting smoking while I was sitting next to them. I constantly had to move and sit on my own or with hubby at the end of the garden. Now I know they can smoke all they like, but I would have appreciated being told they were about to smoke so I could move before they started, or they could have moved away.
I guess I'm over reacting but it just annoyed me that they all didn't care. They basically kept lighting up every 5/10mins so I spent a lot of my time at the end of the garden, as we left early as we couldn't really have a long conversation with people without having to move away midconversation

Thanks Rachel. I think I'm more upset that they're supposed to be friends and either didn't care or didn't think. I mean I didn't necessarily want them to move away but I would have appreciated being told so I could move away xx
How is everyone else's weekend?

I think that's quite rude, they are entitled to smoke outside if they want but they could give you a warning and move away. other people's smoke is doing my head in right now, I went to the stone roses gig and choked all night I hate walking behind someone who is smoking too, it gives me the boak 
which is so funny because I smoked for at least 10 years of my life and now I have become a hypocritical ex-smoker

Thanks ladies. Just wanted some reassurance that I wasn't over reacting. I think hubby was more upset than me. He just couldn't understand why they didn't say anything or seem to care. Oh well. At least we had a reason to leave early. The smoking got more and more frequent as they started drinking more.
Nice chilled day today. Might go buy a few baby bits xx

Well ladies, now that Claire is a month old, I've FINALLY had time to write her birth story...
Claire's Birth Story
Claire Elizabeth was born on May 22nd, 2013 at 1:11 in the morning. She weighed 7 pounds 2.3 ounces and was 18 and ¾ inches long (we later discovered this measurement was wrong and she was 20 inches long).
My due date was May 13th and it came and went without any indication that Claire wanted to make her appearance. I was scheduled for an induction on May 20th as I was not dilated or effaced. We went into the hospital at 8:30 in the morning on the 20th. I was admitted, given an IV and was hooked up to the monitors. I was checked and I was still not dilated or effaced. The doctors first step was to soften my cervix so I was given Cytotec and was told that after 6 hours I would be given another as things rarely progressed that quickly with Cytotec. The main goal was to be able to get a catheter balloon in my cervix to open things quicker but in order to do that I needed to be at least 2 centimeters. Four hours came and went and I was starting to feel contractions but not that strong. After the six hours I was about 1 and a ½ centimeters. The doctor attempted to insert the catheter but was unsuccessful. Let me just say that experience was unpleasant. They decided to give the Cytotec another 2 hours and try the catheter again. When the 6 hours was up I was about 2 centimeters and they inserted the catheter and said when they are able to pull the catheter out, usually at about 4 centimeters, then they would start the Pitocin.
Things are a bit fuzzy but I contracted for forever, through the night and eventually the catheter came out and the Pitocin was started. Contractions got stronger and stronger through the day and eventually I resorted to an epidural. The first epidural I had was done by a training anesthesiologist and after a few hours I began to feel contractions on my right side so at about 9:15 I was given a second all new epidural. I was still four centimeters at 10:30 pm on May the 21st so I had been in labor for almost two days. About midnight I was starting to feel intense contractions now on my left side and I began to think my second epidural hadnt worked. I asked the nurse to come in and I was telling her what I was feeling. She said shed give my epidural a top off and see how things went. The top off did nothing so at 12:45 I called her back in and told her about the pain and pressure I was feeling. She checked me and in two hours I went from 4 centimeters to 9 and she told me I was going to be pushing soon. About 1 oclock I began pushing. I went through three contractions and was told to stop pushing and wait for the doctor. I waited out two contractions which was extremely difficult and then the doctor came in. After pushing through two more contractions, Claire was here! I pushed for 11 minutes. I had a third degree tear which, fortunately, because of the epidural I did not feel. I was stitched and my recovery has been easy.
My husband and I spent a week in the hospital from start to finish and we were so happy when we got to bring Claire home. My labor was a long two day process, culminating in a fast two hour and 11 minute finale and while it was tiring and at times painful, it was all worth it to have our beautiful Claire.

She's so beautiful, Caroline
Love the pics
Nothing much going on here...my bleeding is finally down to just very light spotting after 7 days and I took a test today to make sure my hormone levels are coming down to normal and got a negative. So, of course it's depressing to see, but I guess it's also a good thing. I've heard that many women are more fertile right after a miscarriage so I hope and pray it won't take me another 18 months.
