March Mama's! 2012 :) - 33 pink , 24 blue and 17 yellow bumps! 33 Babies!!

[kkl12]

kk - I was going to buy a decal but all of them were too small or like $80+. Two paint samples is $6 and I'm bored with this maternity leave with no baby thing.

Edit to add: Who ever it was who said their stomach has gotten super loud, mine has too, it's all gurgle-y in there.

I think my tree is probably much smaller than the one you have painted. It looks great so far, I can't wait to see it finished. I also love the wall color you have chosen

Booooooooooooo

I havent read back yet, but wanted to tell Loo that Baby B decided to do the same thing as your LO at my last appointment. That's why the doctor decided to deliver me at 35+4. Try not to worry too much. When mine came out, he was screaming his sweet little head off and was perfectly perfect.

I'll be thinking of you.

 

[loolindley]

Thanks for the lovely comments lads.

FT, I doubt it will make an appearance tomorrow, but maybe a mothers day baby?!?

EMERA, Al will be with me until 2, and is trying like mad to arrange an emergency instant cover. I have told him that no matter what, if I call him he HAS to leave STRAIGHT AWAY. Luckily the hotel is only a 2 minute drive away and at the end of the road from the hospital.

Just got the Moses basket out of the attic room and put sheets on it and the crib. Had a little panic cry too.

Any FB ladies, please don't put anything on there as we won't tell anyone until there is something to tell. xx

Kkl...sorry about the bad news about your grandfather

Waula....i forgot to ask as my fellow bnb buddy who.knew babies sex but wasnt telling....did you confess after noah arrived that.you and hubby knew all along? How did everyone react? People are going to.be amazed with me being able to keep a secret for nearly 5 monthsl

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

good luck for the induction loo. its great they are looking after you so much.

hey danielle! nice to 'see you' again

FT - i noticed the 'non-toxic glitter' and agree i have never seen it on my other glitters. in fact i checked my other glitters and they are called 'edible art'. i think they are just being overly cautious and i plan to use it like all other cake glitters and just eat the icing. im sure its fine.

great freebies though arent they?! maybe i'll make pink butterfly cakes if i dont have a baby tomorrow, lol.

 

[mitchnorm]

Loo...no worries on the fb thing...think it will be the same for us all when the time finally comes. Big...you LO will be perfect and with you soon. Hope Al manages to.sort out cover.

What time you heading into hospital tomorrow? X

edit..hi danielle...where you been?? X

 

[xdaniellexpx]

[Kas75]

Just getting round to posting had my lil bundle on tuesday at 9.32pm all went well and shes totally and utterly the love of our lives already! Like shes been here forever!
Ruby Grace Ball weighed in at 7lb 1oz shes sooooo tiny and just perfect!
We were induced a week early cos she was being a lil tinker kept doing cartwheels inside mummy from head down to breech daily lil madam so when she was head down they wanted to induce fast and let me tell ya its all gone by in a blur. So happy shes here! I'll read up on here as much as I can but I dont get on here very often so often get lost where ive posted and can never find replies lol

Good luck to all those still awaiting their lil bundles

Much love

Hello, Danielle! :wave:

Congratulations, Kas!

(And LMAO, Loo!)

 

[emera35]

Loo you make me laugh! I'm sure you'll have time to kill toi start with in the hospital though so some shouty emails should help pass the time

Hi Danielle glad you are hanging on in there!

Kas congratulations!

FT watched MChef now, I guessed who would win too, well deserved!

Lads with baby blues! Been looking in my aromatherapy for mother and baby book, a bath with a few drops of clary sage, geranium, bergamot, lemon, mandarin, lavender or petitgrain (or a mix of a few of those) is supposed to be beneficial.

Laddies with stitches/ scars (once you have the ok to bathe) a warm bath with 2 drops lavender, 2 drops geranium, 1 drop teatree aids and promotes healing.

Lads with engorgement a hot compress with lavender geranium and rosemary helps to ease pressure.

Just thought I'd share! Xxx

 

[loolindley]

Emera, can I just ask, do you think it could be the smallest chance that the neroli or clary sage could have caused the lack of movement or decels of heart beat today? It's the only thing I've done differently over the past 24 hours and wanted to just double check they are safe to use during labour.

My other dilemma is do I insert an EPO tonight? I want to make my cervix as soft as poss for the gel to work, but unsure if I should be fiddling about?? I'm convinced the EPO IS why I've come further since Wednesday than they expected though.

 

[firsttimer1]

kas - congrats!

loo - ahh a mothers day baby will be lovely wish i cud help with your Qs about clary and EPO but i just dont know

kk -so sorry about the bad news concerning your grandpa... really hope he will be ok

Danielle -

Cupcake - i think for 99p its fab!

LADIES INSERTING EPO - are you putting a tiny hole in each capsule first with a sterilised needle? or just inserting as it?

 

[loolindley]

Just inserting a 1000mg one as is.

Right. I'm going to try and get an early night. Ha! Yea! Whatever!!! xxx

 

[mitchnorm]

Loo...i am no help on.the epo question either....i would say if you are unsure, give it a miss

ft...hadnt even thought of piercing capsules...they dissolve quite happily i think. Have done the deed for tonight.

Cramping has subsided poop

looked for the cupcake mag yesterday...couldnt find. Whats it called again?

Night laddies x x

 

[emera35]

Loo Clary sage and Neroli are fine during labour, but clary sage is not recommended in pregnancy itself, mostly as it can stimulate contractions if you are sensitive to it. They shouldn't affect the baby in any way, especially as you've been sniffing at them, not rubbing them on your skin, right?

 

[emera35]

Oh hey, thought i'd post this, entirely done for my own benefit to see the improvement, but thought people who were worried about tummies after the birth etc might find it interesting, here is my first post-partum shot! There is work to do! My stretchies don't look too bad actually, but did the picture in the same outfit, for a good comparison

Emera that's really impressive, I hope we all see that sort of change so quickly. I'm sure there are some skinny mini's here who will be in bikinis this summer.
I'm officially up 2 stone. (That's 28lbs right?) I was shooting for 20 which I blew past just three weeks ago. For my BMI they say I should gain 15-25 so it's not too bad. Not working lets me eat a lot more often. My new baking habit probably isn't helping either....

My husband came home today and said "You should know, it's ok if you go into labor this weekend." "I brought my work laptop home"
