She's so sweet, Laura!

It's funny that you had a girl because originally I had a fabric picked out for the monkey blanket that had pink in it, and DH said it was too girly... Should have gone for it! It was just a tiny bit of pink.
 
Rashy - the shop is only about 100m away so not too far to venture and the midwife this morning said to keep active and go for a walk! DH is home now so trying o decide whether to brave a toddle round the block or not. Contractions seem to be less frequent now he's home!
 
I realized I can post nursery pictures now! I'll do it a little later after I get some work done.

In the meantime, here's a puppy picture... I won't let him sleep on the couch at night (out of room) so I let him have the pregnancy pillow. Looks comfy, doesn't he?

rashy he looks VERY comfy lol, great use of a preggo pillow :haha:

im trying to decide whether DH and i should go out for dinner or something tonight, just the two of us. I mean, if im being induced on sunday (and i will want an early night tomo as F1 race is on sunday at 7am :haha: ) then tonight is our last night as a two-some probably?

But i dont want to tempt fate by going out tonight and then we are sent home on sunday cos they are busy :rofl:

Plus i may have to dine naked as no nice clothes fit me. :rofl:
 
Laura - she's beautiful :cloud9:

City - doggylicious pic :kiss:

FT - yes...def go out...life might never (never mind might :rofl:) be the same again after this weekend :hugs:

OK ladies I'm back and had my sweep....OUCH :shock:

Baby is 4/5 engaged and she said although my cervix was posterior it was very favourable so she said if she was going to do it she was going to do it GOOD. She tried with me just lying flat then said that wasn't going to work to well so she made me clench my fists and and put them under my bum and push my legs right back.....man that HURT! she kept apologising but said she wasn't going to do a half hearted attempt. She had a really good sweep around and said she could feel bulge of water in front of babies head so wouldn't be surprised if that's how labour starts. Advised to go for long walk tonight and loads of sex. She also said might bleed a bit and as soon as took her hand out her glove was covered in blood and I'm still bleeding a bit now.
I'm measuring 40 weeks :shock: but she reckons baby will be in upper 7lbs range.

This is what it says on notes:

Presentation: Ceph Long
Engaged: 4/5
Cervix fully effaced
OS: Multips OS ? have no idea what that means
Ceph tipped, membranes felt

Don't really know what any of that means :haha: but I'm shitting myself now :rofl: :rofl:
 
Glow thats sounds great - very promising!!!! make sure u walk and DTD tonight for sure!!!!

Its gotta be good that baby is that engaged! :dance:
 
Sounds good Glow!

FT - definitely book somewhere nice then you're bound to have to cancel! We were booked into our favourite restaurant tonight but cancelled the table this morning! Im still plodding along as I have been all day, except seems to be more like 10 mins apart now than 5, grrr. Can't see us going in tonight.
 
Lozza - don't be disheartened this stage can last 24 hours but the fact you are STILL having them means progress is being made. Things will probably kick off in earnest at stupid o'clock tonight. :hugs:
 
Lozza, fingers crossed that things pick up again!

Glowie, I'm pretty sure "multips" refers to multiparas, as opposed to primiparas, which means you've have children before. Not sure about the rest of it! Wow for a good sweep, sounds terrifying, LOL. But if it kicks things off it will have been worthwhile. Meanwhile, sit on a puppy pad. :haha:

And OMG, loads of sex... I can't think of anything that sounds worse.

Ugh, when DH turned on the fan in the upstairs bathroom this morning, it sucked all the paint fumes upstairs. :sick: We were so careful to get good, non-VOC paint for the walls, but we forgot that the new doors need oil-based,so the fumes are overwhelming anyway. I opened the downstairs door and turned on a fan and lit candles and opened the upstairs sliding doors, but now the house is stinky. Yuck. Not to mention the sound of construction outside, just when I thought I had the morning off. They've been building a massive house across the street for about 2.5 years... it's so loud, and it's basically non-stop. This baby is seriously going to be into rock concerts and demolition derbies and other loud stuff.
 
Oh wow Glow. Sounds like it will work for you. I had no bleeding or anything. Did dtd last night, might try again tonight. Think I'll be waiting a while though :(

Defo go out FT. That spontaneity will never be the same again. Obviously life changes so brilliantly in other ways but being spontaneous is something you miss and very soon you won't be able to just do what you want, when you want.
Laura - thanks for sharing pics, she's lovely
City - he looks so comfy, if only you could feel like that right now :rofl:

Lozza - this happened to me. It may stop.altogether and although frustrating if it does stop then sleep!! make most of it. It cam be so tiring. Thinking of you :hugs:

Well, managed 20 min snooze. Not long enough and now so so tired. Thank the lord it is the weekend. I don't think I could cope with another day on my own with Daniel. I really want this baby to come out now and can't help feeling a little peed off that sweep has amounted to nothing :wacko: although, I know I've got to get in line :)
 
Funnily enough City that is exactly what is lying under the sheet on my bed at the moment...a puppy pad :rofl:
At least you know loud noises won't wake baby up as she's so used to it now and she'll sleep through it...hopefully :thumbup:

Widger - I know what it's like looking after a toddler at the end (2 1/2 years between my first 2) it's seriously hard work :hugs: I'll feel guilty if I go before all you overdue ladies....but only for a split second :rofl: KIDDING! course I will having been 2 weeks overdue with my first I know how it feels and it really is depressing.

If this S&S doesn't work she's not seeing me again until next Friday :wacko:
 
Good advice about sleeping, Widger! Sorry about your sweep. :(

Actually, once I'm sitting in my nest I'm pretty comfy. It's only the walking around that's starting to get to be a little much sometimes.

I was thinking about that last night... there are a few restaurants I've been wanting to get to for a couple of years, and now I'm sure it will be a couple more years before we do. :dohh:

We were going to go out for sushi last night but my jaw was aching... I think my face is swelling a little and putting pressure on it, boooooo.
 
lozza - :( so they are getting further apart? :(

Yep, probably every 10-12 mins apart rather than 5-10. Been going almost 12 hours now though, But actually it hardly feels like any time at all, weird! The baby doesn't seem to have noticed, still wriggling away!
 
Sorry ladies...been a busy couple of days. Out with nct ladies for a lunch today which was nice. We are arranging a dinner for just the ladies in 2-3 weeks....girls only guys have babies. Hoping its not too soon for little Kia...she is the last to arrive and by far and away the smallest :cloud9:

Right to show i have read everything....FT...i had to laugh you mentioni g me being jealous of glows Costa....just when i had one my hand that hubby bought for me :thumbup:. FT ....sunday for induction....ooooh exciting. Sorry that it MAY not happen the way you want....but all i can say is that all the births between the nct ladies we discussed today did not go according to their plans....but not one them felt sad or upset or cheated by it....they had their healthy gorgeous babies at the end and that was all that mattered

Nicnak. Crowne and joanna....congratulations. Had seen and commented on fb...and go Nicnak with 2 paracetamol:haha:

Waula thanks for the lansinoh tip...i remember reading you guys mention that a while ago.....as someone that was not going to bf things like that went over my head if that makes sense. Weird eh....of to buy tomorrow

Lozza....go baby go!!! I hope this is it for you

You know a really strange thing.....the ladies still waiting for their babies are looking at us thinking 'we want our babies now'....and i am looking at you guys thinking....'aaaw they have this amazing experience to go through and mine has already passed'. So excited for you:kiss:

Hospital bag additions.....i should have packed more cheapy nighties...i got strappy cotton ones from primark...they were great!!! Only had 2...could have done with more. Only packed one towel and yes they provide them but the are not your nice fluffy ones from home. They provide maternity pads...i found 2 packs of 10 were enough for me. Oh and wrong size baby clothes obviously for me ....but couldnt have avoided that i guess

Right.....we want more babies and i am desperately awaiting my new fruiting buddy Cupcakes yellow bump :happydance:
