Hi
we have everything to pack in the bag next to the bag its just not IN the bag, trying to decide which baby clothes to take is a nightmare, we will have to wait 2 weeks to see which size to put in as may be small baby, just see how he grows in next 2 weeks.
i hopefully find out monday/tuesday if its me being made redundant, if so i can pretty much leave as soon as i find out.
cant wait for some time off with kim and help look after her in last stages of pregnancy, can't beleive he is due in less than 6 weeks. well more like 5 weeks now!!!!!!!!
how is everyone!!!

Tanikit - I'm sorry it's going to be a struggle for you still with the sugars. I really do feel for you. I hope it all goes ok and you are well looked after.

they offer hepatitis b after birth, but we are declining. not sure what if anything else they offer right then in the hospital vaccine wise? we won't be doing anything at that early stage, and we aren't sure what if anything we'll do at all. we are going to read up on each vaccine and go from there. my guess is we won't be doing many....

i think here they will do the hep b and maybe a vit k after birth. our family dr does the first hep b during the 2 month shots so ours wont be getting that. i will probably let them do the vit k and eye ointment. we are still deciding if ours will get any immun shots at all. my girls, who are 10 and 12 were completely vaccinated. my oldest son only got his shots til he was 1 yr old. my youngest son has only gotten up to his 4 month shots. they seem to make my youngest son very ill after he gets them. we are contemplating not getting any with this baby. if anyone has any info, websites, or opinions on it, would be great to know. they kinda make you feel like your not a good parent and dont want to protect your child from diseases here if you dont vaccinate.

tanikit- you have a rough time hun. i hope your little one does ok after she gets here!!!

shells- congrats lady!!! im just fat too!!!!

Shell's I also feel pretty big now - not sure how much baby is growing but will find out on Thursday this coming week.

kns yes I am still not too sure about this bag and have just found more baby clothes we used with DD that will need sorting and cleaning and my mother is bringing more (all the 0-3m clothes got sent there for some reason) so lots of washing still to do. Sorry about the job but I must say it will be nice to have time off with your partner.

Melissa what happens with GDs after birth - does it all just go away or how many tests do they do to check later? And have you noticed a drop in sugars yet as I know we can get it at 36 weeks normally (mine has been a lot earlier this time at 30-34 weeks which is why I am on close watch now with the placenta) but apparently it can happen with GDs too.

Blessed my DD also only had up to the 4 month ones except for a measles one at 26 months because there was an outbreak here slightly north of here. I will get the second measles when I take the next DD for her earlier ones. If DD is at home with me most of the time then a lot of them are unnecessary I feel as most of those diseases we vaccinate for here are picked up in day cares.

This has been a rough pregnancy and I am so looking forward to having my baby with me and in my arms - its no wonder after going through this that I do not really want anyone else near her at least for the first little bit - then again many of them have had a hard time with me too so maybe I should reevaluate that Its definitely getting to the last stage now though - just a few more weeks now.

 

[msarkozi]

you know, I am really not too sure. I was told I would be tested about 4-6 weeks after birth to see if it has gone away or not, but that's all I know. I'm hoping it does. My sugars had a few really good days, but then I have been getting some high numbers again for the last couple days. My doctor said he thought they were fine though, but the doctor on Monday might say different. He wanted me to be under an 8.0 and said if he sees 10's, he was probably going to put me on meds/insulin. Well, I have quite a few numbers that are 10 and over. I haven't gone higher then 13 though.

I'm so glad that we are all getting so close to the end....it's really not that far away now. I can't wait to hold and snuggle my little man in my arms. My life will never be the same again, in a good way!

Thanks for info on paternity leave.
But the time off with baby is more valuable than money to me. X

too true you will be great parents i finished work today feel bit sad but will start getting houseready now i guess

I think we over vaccinate as a whole and it's going to lead to some real problems some day. Blessed, I know what you mean about people making you feel like a bad parent if you don't vaccinate. I'm sure we'll run up against this in our own family with our choices as well as general society...but we'll make whatever decision is right for our family. Like I said before, right now we are leaning more to not doing any or just a few once we read up. It's unfortunate in this day and age we do not let our immune systems do what they were made to do--work! Now don't get me wrong..vaccines have done some really great things in history--but we have at least 14 common vaccines recommended and it's not like those are each 1 shot--they are multiple boosters, that's a lot over the first few years of life, we have gone overboard IMO. There's a lot of money to be made my convincing parents that they should vaccinate their kids against chicken pox. don't like.

I am sorry if I'm offending anyone, just feel quite strongly on the subject.

Ok here is the question. I am deciding if i want to take the effort to shave down there for delivery day. What's everyones take on this?

 

[membas#1]

I have no plans to do so...too much effort!

 

[braijackava]

That's what i was trying to decide, if all the effort would be worth it. I can't see a thing and would probably end up with patches and cutting myself....haha

 

[membas#1]

haha...me too--i told DH that I couldn't trim a thing right now if I wanted to--and don't really care honestly!

 

[Shell'sAngels]

Im defo going to tidy up down there soon for reasons shell and natty said

I hope everyone is ok. Not long now, some of us will be full term in 3 weeks eeeekk!

 

[readynwilling]

I haven't stopped my brazillian waxes - so im good to go. I personally can't see to take care of it down there - so its easier to pay someone to do it for me I don't know if J would have been concieved if i hadn't of started getting the hair removed so i figure i might as well keep it up.
