May 2012 babies - so far 8 yellow, 22 blue, 21 pink!

[Ems77]

I have not heard from the hospital at all?! They were meant to ring me today and its so typical they have not phoned. Even if nothing was wrong with my scan they were going to ring to confirm my induction date but they havn't!!
Uggh this is so frustrating! As it is my scan was a week behind because they fluffed round and now they cant even ring to tell me whats happening with my boy. I wouldn't be worried but the sonographer even said it was something to keep a very close eye on so wth?! I can't ring cos I dont even know who I saw or even who to ask for cos you normally wait for them to contact you.
Arr well, no news is good news right? Still pissed about not confirming my date though.

Damn doctors! I'd call and jump down their throat too!!

zephyr - i agree, give them a phone - nothing worse that being sat about waiting! good luck & keep on at them

vaurissa & kendra - oh so close for you too

I sure hope so! LOL!! I think it'll probably be around 2 weeks from now.

I have not had a peep at all with my contractions so I went to the mall and spent money I probably shouldn't of lol I went in to have a look at baby clothes and walked out with 8 t shirts for babies, a body suit and two swaddle wraps. The swaddle wraps for $36 each and I sort of said to myself one will be okay then somehow I ended up with both pink and blue and they were meant to give me the mulitple birth club discount she said she would do it but when I got the my car I realised she charged me full price.....man I was so pissed off and if it wasn't for the fact I had been walking round for 3 hours already i would of gone back and said something. Arrr well.
Then I did my shopping so all up I walked round for about 4 hours straight and got some whopping huge contractions that hurt like heck but I'm sitting down now and all is quiet. Nevermind!! I'll just keep waiting and this time next week I may resort to star jumps or something hehe.

I need to keep my legs crossed and sit down for now though I think cos its my mums birthday tomorrow and this is the one day I strongly wanted to avoid this whole pregnancy just because I will never hear the end of it.......what do you reckon the chances are? Man I'll be kicking myself if that walking today set something off for tomorrow omg

Oh yeah almost forgot to upload my most recent photo....Looking at that I am surprised I am still on my feet, other people look at me like I'm a freak show hehehe its quite funny

 

[KendraNoell]

Wow zeph you get my kudos for the day! You are definitely packing there! I can barely get around as it is with one in there and I have big bones to support all the weight too and I am miserable!

Rburnett- I must have missed why you're getting induced?

 

[RBurnett]

Hi due to high bp ect they think im developing pre clampisa.

Wow two hours sleep . So much went on and im soo tired and sore. They woke me just as i was falling asleep to put me on a monitor. im having lil contractions and this morning im really cramping.

Hope whwn they examin me i wnt need another but i doubt it

 

[zephyr]

Aww hang in there Rachel! It wont last long!

 

[cliqmo]

Hey Ladies anyone else suddenly looking like they will meet there LO early??

I feel pressure down low today and kinda crampy but I think its normal third tri aches and nothing to get excited about

 

[Ems77]

Kendra- Just google mapped Centralia because I wasn't sure how far away it was and *drum roll* 64.6 mi
In current traffic: 1 hour 15 mins
I-5 S
But of course, as it says, CURRENT traffic, and it's midnight-30. LOL. You KNOW I-5 isn't like that during the day!

I noticed you're down fairly close to 'The Lodge', omg I want to go soooo bad!!!

 

[yazzy]

Good luck Rachel, I hope you meet your little bundle today!

Zephyr keep those legs crossed for today lol

I am 37 weeks today woo hoo full term!! I think baby has dropped down a bit over night but its difficult to tell as I have a pretty small bump (as everyone keeps telling me). Had some weird pains in the sides of my bump this morning, felt like pulled muscles but it seems ok now. Please baby stay in for another 10 days lol!!

Yayness for full term!!! 10 days is good for me too Had my first 8 days from now and my second 13 days from now... Hope this one takes more after the first one! Lol

 

[RBurnett]

The contractions are really hurting and I'm not even in labour yet! I can see me having a epi! I'm such a wimp . It's bad period/wind pain and I'm so tired. Feeling sorry for my self, can you tell.

 

[YoungNImum]

Are you timing them yet? Exciting not long till your baby boy will be born x

 

[frangi33]

ooh rachel sounds like things are progressing, it must suck to be so tired why hopsitals cant let you get some sleep I dont know - its like they time their checkups on purpose!

 

[KendraNoell]

vaurissa- its so funny people that live in washington and have no idea where centralia is LOL. yeah we are right on I5 if you go south down to the big outlet malls that is centralia.

rburnett- what was your BP that got them all worried? I was admitted several weeks ago for my BP but it was 140/60, yesterday it was 145/79 and they let me go home. Makes no sense but because I'm swelling SO BAD I have a feeling I won't be too far behind you

 

[wavescrash]

Full-term today! So exciting Now if someone could send my LO the message...


I was up throughout the night with super mild, very irregular contractions that died off. I'm having some cramping this morning but every time I try to time them, they fizzle out yet when I'm sitting here not timing it, I feel a full on contraction. So frustrating.

 

[rjsmam]

Ooh Rachel – am thinking of you! Good luck!

Looks like a few other ladies in limbo too - here’s hoping to see lots of progression for you!

Am having a stinky busy day so far boo hiss & just managed to check in now – am so excited to check in each time now! Babies on their way!!!
Had my 35wk apmnt yest & all is well – I’ve had such a straight forward pregnancy I guess. Measuring a wk behind but that’s no biggie – junior is defo head down although still free and very high. Was advised to ask the dr for heartburn prescription – apparently something they can prescribe is better than usual gaviscon etc & she said no point suffering so am patiently waiting for it to be ready. I can’t imagine not having heartburn – would be simply amazing!

RBrunnet I hope everything is going well x

Rjsmam: glad you had a good appointment, did you get the heartburn stuff yet? X

Wavescrash: ohhh maybe your baby girl will be next to arrive? X

 

[wavescrash]

I wish!!! But I'm not betting on it, haha.

nope, apparently the dr was sending it directly to the pharmacy... who said it'll take 3 days - wtf - i could collect it & take it myself so much quicker - will call tom & see if i can do that!

11 more days of work....... does anyone recall me saying how I had mixed emotions about finishing work - they're no longer mixed haha can't bloody wait!!

[zephyr]

Rachel - Ohhhh owwies, don't feel bad if you feel you end up needing something for the pain! It hurts....a lot. You are doing great though! Your baby will be here soon
I'll be gutted if I don't get an epi! I'm a wuss too

Last night had regular contractions again and thought 'just my bloody luck' but they went away after 2 hours. Nothing since! Yaaaay!
I'm torn, I want my babies here now! but I want them to stay in! I just ordered a moby wrap online to carry them in after the birth I dunno what they are like anyone know?
All I know is they gotta come out soon cos I am wasting lots of money now trying to justify these last minute purchases before the babies come!
Yesterday it was "Ohhh but we are going to need rechargable batteries for the baby swing" an those darn swaddle wraps, which I'm really happy about but I probably could of done without lol
I feel like I have gone mad in the head! I'm usually the money scrooge who saves and is sensible!! OH is the one who spends it so easily without a second thought!
I have to steer clear of the mall today I'm gunna make us broke.
