[kymied]

Congrats to Newfie and Lozza and good luck to FT and Cupcake!

My poor little nipples are getting used to stretching. They a a bit achy, not cracked or anything like that but still don't really love being touched. Latch has been pretty good, but his can be a slow sucker. I'm sure things will pick up when my milk comes in. As of this morning he was 7% down in weight so they want to make sure he doesn't drop much more.

We're leaving the hospital tomorrow. I'm so very ready, bored, the bed is uncomfy and sick of all the check ups (I mean it's good that they want to make sure we're alright)

Here's a picture of my sleeping angel. He doesn't like bright light so we don't have much for pictures of his eyes. They're beautiful though!

Congrats kymied and all the other new babies! I went headlong into schoolwork and tried to get ahead but she came anyways.

Anyone want to read my birth story?

Spoiler

On Wednesday night, around 11:30 I noticed I was getting some contraction. They weren't very bad but I had noticed a bit of show earlier that evening. Told DH but also warned him you can loose your plug long before labor. So, we went to bed figuring I would wake up if I got any more contractions or if they got worse. Woke up 9:30am yelling "OUCH, OUCH OUCH!" (I thought I had a very bad cramp in my stomach). By then DH ran into the bedroom with shaving cream still on his face (he was shaving did I mention lol) and said, "What, is the baby coming?" My answer, "No, Yes, Maybe " So, I got a shower and my contractions were coming to strong to even bother drying my hair. We went straight to the hospital (1 hour away, DH made it in 40ish minutes). When we got there (by then I was really yelling "Ouch!") they checked me and said "You're ready to push." I was like, "WHAT! So, long story short I guess, I delivered Danni naturally in two hours wit no pain management and only 2 stitches.

He's lovely Kymied

Newfie...no hanging around for you then!!! go you for managing without any pain relief....think your might be the quickest birth story yet!

 

[citymouse]

Wow, Newfie! These late March babies are making up for lost time!

 

[wouldluvabub]

Congratulations to our newest mummas!! How exciting!

Good luck to all those being induced!

Newfie- your birth sounds so quick! Glad it was easy for you! Amazing how different we all are!!!

 

[firsttimer1]

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I woke up at 7am thinking ''oh god im wetting myself'' and then realised that i couldnt stop.... i am 95% my waters have just broke!!! (I would be 100% if it wernet for Wetstar yesterday and her peeing mishap )

so im trying not to get TOO excited but a natural birth MAY be back on the cards... maybe.

Off to the unit now to see if it was my waters or if ive just lost control of my nether regions.... which is quite lkely

If waters, fingers crossed it all starts soon..... if not waters, induction at 3pm.

LOVE TO YOU ALL XXXX

oh and also....

Glowstar / wetstar - your message about this thread bringing us all together made me cry a little ... how hormonal is that? love u ladies

Newfie and Kymied - great babies you have there.... amazing infact

Rashy mouse - at least i dont call you TrashyMouse?

 

[citymouse]

Have a wonderful birth! We'll all be waiting anxiously to hear from you!

And way to trump my news about having to take the dog to the vet for eating half a boot.

 

[Widger]

Ft - so exciting for you. I hear so many stories of women that go into labour naturally night before induction


I on the otherhand have been sat on the toilet all night and just been violently sick.... hope I get some sleep now. I'm exhausted

I will reply when feeling better laddies. Going to try and rest although my poor tummy is so sore xx

 

[citymouse]

[loolindley]

Lozza! Congratulations! Can't wait to hear what name you have chosen for your gorgeous boy. Glad you are ok. xxx

Newfie- so pleased Danni has arrived safely into the world. She is beautiful. Congratulations! xx

FT - good luck!!! Am over the moon that you went naturally. Hope you are splashing about in the pool as I type!

Afm. The worst 16 hours. Don't want to go on though. In laws will be here in an hour and the thought of it is making me weep.

 

[Glowstar]

Awww Loo hope you are OK? is it baby or family woes?

Hopefully won't be long until I have my LO and we can meet up

 

[loolindley]

Baby. 6 hour screaming sesh from 7pm last night. Finally dropped off at 1, but then COULD NOT wake her until 8.30. Refuses to feed for an hour, then back to default screaming.

She will not settle unless she is being held, then as soon as she get laid back down in her crib/basket, screaming again.

Feel stressed, upset, failing, and weepy. Last thing I need is visitors today and have a feeling they will be here all day long!

 

[firsttimer1]

Ok.. firstly... loo sorry you had a crap night hunni hang in there

widger....... could this not be the start for you then?? seen as your being sick etc......

any word from cupcake? Hope she goes into labour today before tomo's induction... if she hasnt been on then maybe she is??

OK so as for me.... it was 100% my WATERS!

so the MW i saw was absolutely lush and said that i have until 7am tomo morning to go into labour naturally. If not, i have to go into the ward tomo at 7am and be examined, and if im not labouring they will want to induce me by drip. SO COME ON DIGS!!!

im cramping up every 10 mins but its only lasting about 30 seconds. Defo having my bloody show as well as continuingly leaking water....gross.

so im going to go back and read when lozza started cramping etc and how long to birth.

Losing water is yuk.... feel like im wetting myself but couldnt be happier

fingers crossed i get my water birth.

OH AND RASHY - i cant belieeeeeve your dog ate half a boot???? thats hilarious

[firsttimer1]

BTW loo, hunni, if it gets too much you REALLY need to ask your visitors to leave..... honestly hun i know it sounds harsh but you and little dharma must come first. Or at very least do NOT feel bad for popping off to have a sleep while al and dharma entertain for a while?

You are NOT failing hunni - your brilliant xxxx

 

[citymouse]

Yay, FT! Just had to log on to check on you. And I think I know what happened--Digger was just waiting for the construction to be done at my house. Thoughtful child!

Loo, you poor mama! Like FT says, make you and Dharma #1 priority today. If the in-laws need to linger, they can visit with Al or your parents (or better yet, go pick up dinner for everyone).

Yes, my naughty dog ate about half a square foot of leather off a boot. We took him to the emergency vet and they gave him two separate shots of an emetic to induce vomiting. I think they said he threw up 8-9 times. There has never been a sadder dog. We got home and he laid down and didn't even move his tail. Now he's peacefully snoring. He'll be much more cheerful in the morning when he can eat again. it was just ridiculous, his check-in sheet said, "Reason for visit: ATE BOOT."

I must say that now I have reasons for wanting baby G to stay put for a few days more. To get the house cleaned up and for PoopWatch 2k12 with the dog... Have to make sure whatever was left of the boot clears out.

Okay, back to bed... Come on, Digs!
