Congrats Rachel! I hope your little man is healthy and that the special care is just a precation!

My goodness you ladies were chatty last night!

Waves: Hang in there! She will be here before you know it!

Oh, and the decals DID come from my MIL...

 

[frangi33]

oh bumpin - fancy that, my mil would NEVER be so thoughtful! how did you find out?

waves I guess she'll come now when u least expect it lol just to give you the run around, u must be super uncomfortable right now!

I'm so envious of ladies that have finished work by now - I've got at least 3 weeks to go still and after taking the afternoon off today got a glimpse of how much more comfortable i'd be not sat at a desk all day!

Hahah probably. I've just come to accept no amount of coaxing is going to work. She's comfy (who knows why! it's dark and cramped in there!!!) and will come when she wants.

Waves: Hang in there! She will be here before you know it!

Thanks! I know... it's just frustrating with all these random pains and whatnot going on. As if I weren't uncomfortable enough, hahaha! They say no amount of self-induction will work unless LO is ready so I'll just keep up with the squats, sex and walking. And if my OB really loves me, she'll do a sweep on Tuesday but if not... I'll ask again the following week hahaha.

Congrats Rachel, hope little man doesn't have to stay in NCIU for very long. Looking forward to your birth story.

Frangi: my MIL has her moments where she can be the best, then she does things that just make me want to scream!!! But she is pretty good to us about most things...lol. I made OH call and ask her about the wall decals. They are pretty cute, im just not sure what im going to do with them. I dont want to stick them to the walls, cause if they dont come up nicely, and we move early next year, I would hate to lose them.

Waves: I hear ya on the random pains. I felt soooo good last week when baby dropped, no heartburn, no nausea, and I was actually able to sleep longer than an hour at a time. I guess baby had just changed its position and is now right back to having its feet tucked into my ribs, and is frequently pushing into my stomach, which just makes me hurl...grrrr...

This weekend is probably the LEAST convenient weekend for baby to come. I have a coworkers retirement dinner to attend tonight, OH is working all weekend (and he works 12 hours shifts) and I have a baby shower to attend on sunday, which is being held 45 mins OUT of the city. So I have to drive myself. If I were to go into labour, I would have to get someone to drive me back to the city, and leave my car. I drive a standard, and I dont think any of the girls going to the shower can drive it. And to top it off, baby's god parents are out of town this weekend, and will be 4 hours away. Since we have no family around, they are our "support system" here to care for our pets while we are in the hospital... So my guess is that this will be the weekend that this little monkey decides to come!

frangi - i feel your pain! i have 2wks left (& counting!) of a stressful job.... i can't wait to be finished

bumpin - how sweet to get something as a surprise... my mil rarely calls at all! here's hoping that baby stays put til the wk end is over

waves - not long til tues - maybe she'll make a move before then!

thanks! i'm hoping so!

This weekend is probably the LEAST convenient weekend for baby to come.

hahah i know what you mean! that's always the way it works, right? i have my oldest daughter staying the night tonight and not going home until late tomorrow afternoon. then tomorrow evening we're meeting up with his brother and friends for wings, some UFC fight and whatnot and then sunday my dad is coming into town to have lunch with my siblings and i. i'm hoping that means she'll want to come and disrupt my plans at some point haha.


i just went to the grocery store to pick up a few things i saw on sale and then just vacuumed our entire apartment. i'm sweating like crazy and hoping she's going to want to vacate my body afterward. i'm sure nothing will actually happen this weekend but i'm still holding onto whatever little bit of hope i can. just because haha.

 

[rjsmam]

quite right waves - keep the faith lol......

it's my son's birthday tomorrow - am excited for him! he's having a party at a soft play area (to save me dealing with a house full of kids!) and i hope to spoil him before his little bro or sis arrives...... he's such a good boy, i dearly hope i'm as lucky this time round!

I woke up this morning freaking out thinking omg what if I actually last till my induction date?! I mean yeah I want the epidural and don't want to even have a slight chance of not getting one but I remembered why these babies HAVE to come this week!! MIL is coming on the 5th!! I wanted to be out of hospital and recovered a little bit before they arrive........Then I started thinking about all the things I was going to do today I decided I was going to fake tan and get my nails and hair done.....well do it myself to the best I can I mean I may turn up at the hospital patchy with nail polish all over my feet but at least I tried right? hehe
Then I thought about all the people that are going to be in the room watching me deliver and ugggh I know all eyes are going to be on my privates about 8 pairs LOL maybe more? :/ This creeps me out!

Anyways got up and went to the bathroom and am losing some pretty decent sized amounts of plug, way more than last week, but nothing blood tinged yet. Feel a bit crampy too like my periods coming on but I been feeling like that all week so guess we will just wait some more and see? Maybe this week sometime? Oh I hope so.
Gunna keep active today though! I will take my chances on the epi....there's no way in hell I am going to still be in hospital only just having had babies when MIL arrives....no way!!

 

[zephyr]

Nothing yet Sad I even went for a 2 hour walk round the mall again......and still nothing.
Ohhhh they have to come soon I will just cry if they leave it till induction week! The In law thing is seriously freaking me out now, I wanna be up and mobile with my milk in before they are here! Is that too much to ask??

 

[anti]

Zephyr I hope they come soon!! I couldn't imagine having MIL so soon after having the babies. Like you, I'd want to be settled and all that before she came!! Come on little twins... You can come out now!!!

 

[rjsmam]

come on twinnies!!!!!! give mamma an exciting wk end!

my darling husband told me i look like geoff capes last night & then went on to comment at the size of me - i know it's the hormones but i was so upset, he apologised today but doesn't make me feel any better! even his apology was 'sorry but i just didn't realise how big you are all over........' nice huh... i feel like karate chopping him in the nuts...

[frangi33]

lol rjsmam - I havent had to threaten that yet but may do soon! I sat on my OH's lap the other day and he quickly went "oh! oh!" and then when I said "what?" he said "um nothing!" - I guess I can translate that as "my uve put on a lot of weight!"

Zephyr - I know how you feel my OH wants his mum round straight away but I'm not happy with her to see me in a post labour state until me and baby are sorted and getting to know each other. I hope things work out well for you

Just a quick update. Jenson has now come out of Scbu and is with me in transitional care. I'm trying to bf and they are topping him of. He won't be allowed home till he feeds without neeeding a top up. I can't upload photos till I get home. hope all u ladies are doing ok xx

 

[anti]

Thanks for the update Rachel. Was starting to get worried! So glad he's out of special care! Thinking of you

 

[YoungNImum]

Great news! I hope use are able to go home soon can't wait to see pics. Zephy good luck I hope your babies come soon you must be getting so uncomfortable x

 

[yazzy]

Thanks for the update Rachel, glad to hear Jenson is back with you and i'm sure it won't take too long to establish his feeding. Hang in there and you will all soon be home together. Can't wait to see pics of him!

Zephyr hope your babies arrive soon!

I've just had a busy day...I had a trial make up run which turned out great and can't wait to have it all done again in one week! My 3 bridesmaids have all been round and had a trial run done on their hair and each one of them looked great...starting to make me more excited about next Saturday. I was a bit nervous last night after our rehearsal at the Church but seeing everyone else getting excited is great. The men had their final suit fitting aswell. So now its just my dress fitting on Monday afternoon and we're all set to go! So baby is ordered to stay safe and happy in my tummy until atleast the night of my wedding....this time next week girls i'll be a married woman!!

 

[YoungNImum]

Ah fantastic yazzy I hope use have a fantastic day! X

 

[KendraNoell]

Rachel- small babies are harder to get to latch on so just be patient and he will soon be doing just fine so glad that he's out of intensive care already though!

Zeph- Maybe your MIL coming is a blessing in disguise though. I know you think it would be the most horrible thing ever for her to be there as you're still in the hospital but it would be another pair of hands that can help you with everything. I am surprised you've made it this long with twins- everyone else I know on here that's had twins were induced by 37 weeks!

As for me, I have my last non-stress test today in about an hour. I am a bit nervous as I am very swollen and have been four about four days. Nurse on Tuesday didn't say anything about my BP although the numbers seemed higher than usual for me. She was a pretty crappy nurse, didn't make me feel very confident in my being there. So at this point I don't know what my BP is and if its high I think I will end up getting induced since I am so close to 37 weeks as it is, I have my hospital bag and diaper bag packed, car seat is installed, I think my instinct is just telling me he will be here any day. I am nervous/scared/worried for this NST but ready for my son to be here

 

[zephyr]

Still nothing yet, I did my hair my nails, I even managed to bend oddly to do my toenails! Which I was very proud of hehe. Got my tan on, even shaved my legs and put on makeup which I have not done for months and OH was like Woooaaah who are you getting dolled up for? Then of course I was like "I'm waiting for the babies to come out and I had nothing else to do" He found that amusing, I don't know why.
I even went out for another hour walk before the shops shut and got two matching outfits that says daddy's my superstar. They were half price so two for 1. Couldn't help it.
I have not even needed to use my hottie! I think those bad lower backaches and everything else was just my boy engaging cos he is definitely fully engaged now.
The pains and exhaustion don't even bother me anymore, its being on edge not knowing when that is the real problem.

Ohh and FYI labour cake didn't work, yes I tried it and I ate 3 quarters of it IT was the best damn cake ever! The sour cream makes it so moist, I will be using that in my recipes when I make cakes from now on.
OH and I already dtd often so can't really change much there.
Walkings done nothing, talking to them, dancing, playing loud music.......NOTHING I'm running out of options I am allowed to use.

Rachel - So glad hes making some great progress! His feeding will improve over time Good to hear everything is going well.

Kendra - Ohh they are not even inducing me until after 38 weeks. I have read some pretty nervous stuff about leaving them in longer than 38 so I am quite nervous about even going a day over. They were meant to ring me to confirm the date they gave me but I have not heard anything. I see them Tuesday and I will be begging them to do it sooner.
I know the MIL will be an extra pair of hands, one of which I will be very grateful for but there's another side of her which is just going to drive me mad.
