thanks cathryn! i have some appts this week and non-stress testing and i will go in and get checked if i need to. if he isnt moving good or i have any bad feelings about it i can go in for a non-stress test any time at the office or at the hospital if they are closed. maybe he knows something is going on cuz he is kicking a ton today.

hubby acted like nothing when i told him. said he was excited to be seeing and holding the baby on monday. i said but with all we have to change now and with how hard its gonna be on you with all 4 kids to drag around all week- arent you stressed???? he laughed and said oh no, it will all work out and will be worth it all in the end. i feel like a turd for even worrying about all the details. he is good at putting things into perspective. i guess one of us has to be down to earth about things instead of spinning out when things go awry...

it does take stress off of me knowing he is not worried about any of it.
he just asked if i wanted to go get ice-cream so im outty, aint turning that down...

Thanks Cathryn!!

Blessed - i wouldn't be turning down ice cream either!

I got the interior of my truck cleaned today (it was my v-day gift from DH) its so shiny now... we can install the car seat. We might do that today but maybe tomorrow.

Anyone elses fav part of the day when they take off their bra

 

[membas#1]

<--me me me (taking off bra being best part of day!)

not only that but taking off my work clothes and putting on my comfy clothes! OH YEAH!

 

[braijackava]

I am so done! I feel like crap lately. Today i literally got to a point where i was like i can't do this anymore. My pelvic pain is relentless now. No position makes it feel better. I am now getting back pain and sharp shooting pains in my cervix and vagina all the time. I can't stand without my tummy being so heavy and painful, and i can't breathe good anymore. I am sure things will be better tomorrow, but today sucks!

 

[blessedmomma]

lol sara- unless i have an appt i dont even wear one anymore. i figure why bother, i have my robe on all day anyways now...

 

[readynwilling]

Jealous of bra-lessness LOL. I still gotta wear one to work - but only 7 more time

Hope you feel better Brai. Feel for you

 

[blessedmomma]

hang in there brai!!!! your almost there...

lol sara- youre almost free!!!

well I had my appt this afternoon, and I will be induced on the 22nd. It would have been the 21st, but that is a stat holiday here for us. The scan showed he is only 6 lbs 4 oz, but the doctor didn't think that was right (he said he isn't perfect at using the machine, and it's so hard at this stage to get a clear picture to do the measurements). He said it is probably 1-2 lbs off, and figures the baby will be 7-9 lbs. When I asked about how the baby is laying, his back is to my front, so I was happy about that, but I guess he is more oblique laying. We are so excited about him joining us next week! I can't wait!

Melissa yay for a date - you also don't have much longer to wait now - these babies are going to be arriving thick and fast very soon.

Ready speaking of your truck I feel like cleaning my car today - last night I wished I had one of those big balls to bounce on and actually wanted to walk around for a change. Have been contracting most of the night and felt like my period was starting this morning which was weird. Still contracting this morning though they are BHs every 6-20 minutes (very irregular) Just hope this is making everything ready for the induction as its pretty uncomfortable.

DH is taking off work for the rest of this week from tomorrow - he needs to fetch the mattresses tomorrow as they are far away and I can't drive out there and then I think he wants a bit of family time before the induction - if baby does decide to come early though we'd have to change our plans.

 

[natty1985]

Oh shite I'm having a baby tomorrow !

 

[Nixilix]

I'm so frigging excited for you natty! Will you be able to update? Anyone heard from KNS?

 

[natty1985]

Nix I think I have cathryns number and I have Melissa on fb so I will update but anyone else who wants number or adding on fb then let me no x kns is fine I saw a post on face book last night no baby yet i think they are at home but can't b long for them x

 

[Shell'sAngels]

good luck for 2moro Natty cant wait to see pics of baby Ethan xx

 

[Chimpette]

Hello ladies,

Can't believe the babies are coming...! ?It seems to have gone so quick

 

[Tanikit]

Natty can't wait to hear how it goes and see baby Ethan.

I am still contracting though its not proper labour yet - just hoping it is actually doing something. Took DD to get her hair cut and had four contractions just on the trip out there in the car. Would love to be in labour when they are due to start the induction, but its still unlikely.

 

[Nixilix]

natty hope all goes fabulous and cant wait to read your birth story xx

 

[pinkycat]

Good luck with inductions girls (Tanikit,Shell and Natty this week i think, sorry im sure i missed people. I cant wait, we have waited so long for our babies.

Im so glad you got a date Msarkozi. They told me my bubs was 5lb 5 i think 2weeks ago but like you said they were struggling to measure and said it could be way off.

Tanikit -i hope the contractions continue, sounds promising.

Iv managed to get an oz of colostrum expressed over several sessions so iv put it in the freezer DH thinks im a bit lol

 

[Tanikit]

Pinkycat did getting that colostrum set off contractions - heard nipple stimulation can and have been tempted now, but not too sure yet

 

[braijackava]

Good luck Natty!
Yay for date Melissa!
Hope labor starts naturally for you tanikit!
i have a doctors appt today. Have to get strep b test and she is going to check my cervix, not looking forward to it. I am curious to see what my BP is when i go in. It has been so up and down lately. I feek like baby has dropped a lot. His kicks are much lower and he seems to be able to move more now. Plus all the added pelvic pain, pressure, back pain and sharp shooting pains. Maybe it is actually doing something to my cervix? I am also bringing my home BP machine into the doctor today so they can compare their machine to mine, to see if the high readings i have been getting are right.

 

[braijackava]

Good luck both Melissas for a set date i should have said!
