Kymied it has healed really well her cord, Roh's fell off about the same time too if I remember. Certainly whilst we were still in hospital anyway. His was a bit gungy for a while though, Freyja's looks very neat already. She's so much bigger and stronger than Roh though, so not that surprising I guess?

Just had a text from my sister saying...“We're beginning to think its just wind not baby!!“ I jeeee-sus!!! Just what I need to hear! So fed-up of people saying they are impatient etc, etc.

Gonna go to bed (to not sleep as usual) and wake up to no doubt more texts asking for news!!!!!!

Sleep tight lads xxxx

Hello, lads! Good night to the sleepy UK mamas.

Kymied, I've given up on sewing anything for the moment. All the construction guys are here right outside my office/sewing room all day, and it's dusty, so I'm staying out.

Slightly annoyed because the cabinet guys didn't show... because of the rain! You're just not going to work when it rains??

Got another massage, had my therapist hit all the pressure points thoroughly. She says there's a massive difference in my lower body/hips in the past week. I saw myself in the mirror last night, and my hips look about a mile wide!

 

[citymouse]

Oh, Nicnak! I'm smacking her for you in my imagination. What an irritating thing to say!

 

[Joannaxoxo]

I'm sorry nic, but what your sister said was a little funny. But I know how your feeling... I'm getting those texts already and my due date isn't until the 28th. I'm sure I'll be really fed up by then.

 

[Nicnak282]

Thanks hon! I'm usually not a sensitive soul and can take most jibes as they are meant but today yup I am feeling it. I'll give her bloody wind!!!

Hope your therapist hit all the right spots and little baby mouse arrives soon!!!!

Night night, sleep tight.xx

 

[Nicnak282]

I know Joanna, tomorrow I will prob giggle...but tonight not what I needed!! She's very lovely but can be very harsh with her humour - a family trait!!!

Xx

 

[citymouse]

How about something like, "Funny, that's what I think every time you open your mouth."

Or whatever, LOL.

It's funny, from some people the check-ins don't bother me at all and from some people they drive me insane. (Edit: I think the distinction is the friends who care about how I'm feeling vs. people who are just fixated on BABYBABYBABY.)

 

[lozza1uk]

I've got away fairly lightly, except the inlaws who ring every day and ask if there's any news. FIL thinks it will come tomorrow "because it's mother's day" (he also thought it would come on Wednesday, and today)

Despite hardly any sleep last night i'm still wide awake, grrr. Looking forward to actually sleeping better when this baby arrives, or at least there being a point to me being awake at stupid o'clock!

 

[citymouse]

That's too many guesses, Lozza. Tell him he's out of the game.

Not sure if I asked this before, but has anybody else experienced really tired arms in third tri? Mine are so weary all the time!

 

[lozza1uk]

Tired arms? Must be typing those long late night monologues on here ...

Can't say tired arms is a symptom i've noticed, but the soles of my feet are sore in the mornings, i have to hobble to the bathroom first thing!

 

[crowned]

No tired arms here either, unless I've spent the day scrubbing or something. I agree with Lozza - it's probably those hysterical stories you write to put us all to sleep at night that are making your arms sore! Or maybe your muscles are toning up so carrying baby will be easy?
More contractions that led to nothing today, although for the first time they weren't triggered by DTD, so maybe that means something??

 

[kymied]

I don't get tired arms except when I was holding my friends adorable sleeping baby for a while. My legs get tired a lot but I'm guessing that's from all my walking around and the fact that they're dealing with carrying around a much heavier person than they're used to.

Fortunately all of our dust is upstairs and I use the dining room as a sewing room (The actual office/project room has too much crap in it to be used as anything. Hubby needs to decide what to keep and what to get rid of.... After the baby's room is done.)

Turns out my hubby's mental math ended us up with an extra 2 yards of fabric. He rounds up a lot. Oh well, it's pretty fabric.

Nicnak I'm hoping your sister was joking, but I think it's silly that people would say things like that when you're not even past your due date. I have a friend who's OH's mother drew a picture of a baby to put on her desk when she went past her due date and said "Kat just got fat, this is the only grandchild I'm going to get."

 

[crowned]

Kymied, that's awful!! Your friend's MIL sounds terrible - doesn't she know that babies come on their own terms and nobody else's? So cruel.............

AFM, I made a birthday cake tonight for my LO to try to induce him/her to come out It's not working......

 

[loolindley]

The poor midwife just had to wake me up to listen into the baby, but in waking me up, I screamed really loudly!!!!! Has anyone else been super jumpy over the past few weeks???

Anyway, I'm wide awake now, which is marvellous considering I'm probably going to get no sleep tonight.....unless my monkey decides to defy all sources of induction again.

Woo, now I get to lay here and think all about how they are going to try and break my waters with a knitting needle (or something) in about 4 hours!!! Fun!!!

 

[Skadi]

Just wanted to pop in quick to see if we had any new babies!

I got 5 hrs of consecutive sleep last night! It felt like a miracle but I know it was just a one off as she got her 2 month vaccines Friday which made her super tired and just not the same baby. I woke up in a panic though, I thought something was wrong!

 

[mitchnorm]

Sorry i havent been able to read back ladies....signal in hospital dead sliw....any more babies!? Has loo or kkl beat me? Ha ha

Right well they used the induction/pessary thingy at 12pm yesterday.....contractions started thick and fast within an hour or so...baby was not happy at all...monitored pretty much all day til about 7 then they took pessary out as baby wasnt liking it. . Contractions cobtinued every 2-3 minutes all...night although cervix softened, move forward and had a bloidy show but no dilation as off 10:30 last night.

Painful night had some pethidine and then codeine and used my tens so got some sleep. Probably another internal this morning to.decide on next.action...certainly not another pessary...they were hoping to go straight to iv syntocin (sp)

So no news and this morning feels a bit like square one...glad to.have no pain for a little while at least. Sorry for no.news but i am here til baby comes for sure

[loolindley]

Mitch you've had more action than me (as it were). Stick in there honey. xxx

 

[kymied]

Loo and mitch, sorry that there's not a ton of progress yet. I'm sure they'll have something that works soon.
Maybe KK has had more luck?

I am up with another case of insomnia. Happy due date to me. Do you hear that little guy? You're due now you can come out now. Please don't wait for Papa to be done with your room.

 

[mitchnorm]

Mitch you've had more action than me (as it were). Stick in there honey. xxx

Not sure about that loo....i think they were hoping to.break my waters this morning but with not a huge amount of dilation they cant. I seem to have had all the pain.and no progress ha ha
Aaah well lets see what today brings good luck x
