Shell's good luck - 37 weeks would be fine, but let us know if you can. Will be thinking of you.

MumtoJ I'm also like you and don't tell DH much as I want to know it is for sure. Anyway I think induction will come first.

[blessedmomma]

happy birthday rach!!!!!

wonder whats going on with kns??

shells- i thought for sure that was it for you... when i was in to check if my waters broke i felt the same as you. reminded me of my last times and just wanted to go home. i dont like hospitals either. my last two births i was there for 3 days!!! i can handle 2 pretty well, but that 3rd im ready to pull some hair out. i dont know how some women stay for 4-5-6 days or more, i would hurt someone im afraid!

cathryn- hope you feel better or deliver, whichever comes first!

natty- you are so close now!!!! hope you are having a great weekend and staying busy to make time go quick. my OB was wanting to deliver me on tues, and i have convinced myself i can talk her into friday. i dont know what i will do if she says tues is it! or even wed or thurs! im not ready and have only barely prepared for friday mentally. i hope you get good sleep for energy on tues night, it will be hard to sleep with all the excitement. what time do you have to be at the hospital?

i took some tylenol pm and actually slept good last night. had been waking up feeling sick lately and having cramps/contractions has kept me up half the night lately. felt so good to sleep.

How exciting KNS.
Iv got pains on and off since this morning but nothing regular. I will mention to the MW tommorrow. It never comes to anything with me though

I think im officially ready for baby as in clothes etc but cant get my head round it, was having dreams all night about the c- section etc. I cant wait to meet my bubs but im so scared.

Heya,

I know it has come about so quickly, today i have kept busy, paying some bills in advance , ive done all of the ironing and cleaned all of the windows upstairs

 

[blessedmomma]

chrissie! im at higher risk for c-section if baby gets stressed out from the low fluid and it scares me to think about. i will do anything to get him out safe, but its still scary. i think shells will be at higher risk for the same reason.

i hope things go well for you and you get emotionally and mentally prepared for all that you will have to do!

what we do for our lil ones..... they will never fully understand...

you sound like you are nesting a bit....
its funny how it kicks in early knowing they are coming early....

how are you feeling? are you ready physically, mentally, and emotionally?

 

[readynwilling]

everyone!

Happy birthday Rach

Glad to hear all is ok and you are home again Shell's.

Today i am setting up a swing, pack n play, and MAYBE packing the babies bag and finishing my bag LOL. I might also unpack the stroller (to make sure im not missing parts or nothing is broken). We should also mount the monitor and test it out (its a video one) to make sure its working so we can return/exchange it if need be.

Right now though im waiting for DH to wake up and take me for pancakes (its only 11am here )

how are you feeling? are you ready physically, mentally, and emotionally?

I dont think ill ever be physically ready this SPD is killing me but on the other hand could that be that i am physically ready? i need my body back now im really really struggling, mentally im not sure its kicked in im even pregnant let alone giving birth in 3 days time !! emotionally i think i am definitely ready to meet the little man after all this pregnancy has put us through im ready and waiting, its suprisingly gone pretty quickly seeing as it was 10 days ago we got the initial date !

Fin is at school tomorrow and i have my last Midwife appointment, im going to
make a start on the spring clean i have in mind , so stripping bed covers and finishing washing n ironing and then tue im going to clean everywhere and set babies things out i think it will kick in a bit more then.... its the waiting to get everything organised than annoys me because i am such an organised person anyway so at the moment living with the house upside down because its easier for the spring clean is v v agitating lol !!

Im going to my mums tonight for Sunday lunch im so excited as she does the most wonderful dinners its going to be like a banquet however you spell it lol !!

My friends waters went this morning and she has been up the hospital and is being induced in an hour !!!! x

 

[readynwilling]

Good luck for your friend Natty!!

I like making lists of cleaning to do too - except most of the time i don't have the energy to actually do any of it. In fact yesterday i bought a bunch of cleaning supplies in case the nesting kicks in LOL.

 

[blessedmomma]

sara- hope your nesting kicks in soon, lol! you really do get a lot done when its here. i always appreciate it cuz it seems like im so run down with no energy before hand. after, everything is organized and more is cleaned than needed. its nice. they had some brand of those video monitors being recalled on the news last night that 2 babies had already died from getting the cord wrapped around their neck and some other babies had been injured, so be careful! i told my Dh, how did the babies get a hold of the cords? my monitors plug in so there are cords on them but they are much too far from baby while sleeping for them to get a hold of them. he thinks since they are videos they have to be put closer to cribs or something, but we really dont know. i always wanted a video one, just never got around to getting one.

natty- sounds like you are ready as you are ever gonna be! i know what you mean about having everything strung out to be cleaned. my Dh was cleaning stuff the other day and it drove me crazy to see all of it out, lol! i couldnt complain though cuz i really wanted it all done. i will have to do something around here this week. im so anxious to get up and around. it makes a long day to feel nesting urges, yet not supposed to be up doing anything. im going mad!!!!

im off to church ladies, last time i get to go for a while! yay, i get to leave the house! i almost forgot what the sun looks like, LOL!

 

[msarkozi]

Happy Birthday Rach!

lol, Tanikit! That is so cute

Melissa - I received that email a couple days ago as well about the monitors being recalled. They are a brand from Babies r Us it said, and have been sold for the last 3 years I think it was. Scary stuff! I hate when stuff that you buy to protect your baby, ends up endangering them instead! It's just not right.

 

[readynwilling]

Yes i saw the recall - its because the parents installed the cameras with the cords hanging at the crib, and the kids are able to pull the cord through the rails. They aren't actually recalling the monitor - they are providing free install instructions. We are going to mount the camera and then use some plastic cord covers (like what you use with home theater stuff) so that there are no exposed wires.

 

[msarkozi]

that's the smart thing to do Sara! I don't really understand why parents wouldn't think of things like that to begin with?! If something is in baby's reach, they are going to grab at it, so you need to do what you can to prevent any harm.

 

[blessedmomma]

sara!

you ladies are gonna be great mommies!

had a lot of pressure and BH at church. dont know if it was just from being up and around after sitting on my butt so long or what and now am losing more plug. i feel like i ran around all day when really all i did was play in the baby room with jaxon for an hour or so. and even then just sat on the floor and played, nothing strenuous. BOO

 

[Shell'sAngels]

i thought it was it too Blessed!! lol i have had alsorts going on 'down there' but i bet you he stays put untill friday!!!... we being induced the same day? did u say u were friday too or thursday??.... its great your 2cms i havent got a clue what i am gonna ask midwife to check me tuesday when i go in for my appointment! hoping i am so they can just break my waters!! i heard a lady screaming next door for a epidural today when up the labour ward hahahaaha made me cringe abit thinking - arghh i got that to come soon lol

 

[Tanikit]

Natty good luck with the cleaning - I overdid it today with my inlaws here and have been sore ever since. It does sound like you are well ready though - only a couple more days really.

It is scary what can happen with products. I have a monitor from last DD but won't be using it this time since we are in a different house and I will never be out of ear shot of my baby - in fact lately I think I have supersonic hearing - I wake up for every tiny sound now even if it is coming from the other side of the house or upstairs.

Melissa (blessed) sounds like your body will be well ready for the induction - hope it will goes really well. Shell's it also sounds like you are getting ready too - good luck with it. Can't believe there are so few days left.

Had a very busy and emotional day today - just too many people here and too many demands on me (hmm, if I am honest it may be what I was expecting of myself) I did too much so will probably take it easy tomorrow.

 

[blessedmomma]

tanikit- you should take it easy after you get things ready to go. you only have a few days left!!!! hope you feel ready for everything. im sure you remember with dd1 how many demands are on you for a newborn. and this time you have even more with the demands of a newborn and 3 year old. it really is a lot harder. i hope you draw some lines and quit letting so many people make so many demands of you for the rest of this week! you only have a few days left to relax before things get crazy again!

shells- my Ob said she wanted to induce at 37 weeks, which would be tues. i have convinced myself i can talk her into friday though for the sake of my family and my husbands sanity! he will have our boys no matter what, but if we make it til friday my girls can go spend the weekend somewhere and at least take a little pressure off him. i have to call her on monday to see what she wants to do, so hopefully i can schedule it with the hospital for friday. they wont schedule further than a week in advance and when i had my last scan it was friday after my OB's office was already closed so have to wait til monday to talk to her.

 

[2nd time]
