I can't believe how many babies there are already, so soon into may! I think I still have a loooong way to go, as I haven't had any twinges or anything yet! 
Got a call from our estate agents today, saying our house is available from the 16th of may instead of the 25th, which could be perfect! So am hopefully moving even sooner than I thought!!
Have done about 12 loads of washing in the past 3 days, so am slowly getting organised. Need to pack hospital bags now, as I've had the lists written out for absolutely ages!
Am officially on maternity leave now, which is nice! Not really sure what to do with my time to be honest!!

Congrats on your baby girl 
Look forward to reading your birth story if you do one and of course, seeing the pictures of your gorgeous girl!
Sharon- my cousin was induced recently, and when I asked her about it, all she said was "I didnt find it that bad" So fingers crossed for you!
Turns out we might not be able to move earlier after all The person we're moving in with doesn't get paid until May 25th, so he won't have his deposit until then Am hoping if I go into the estate agents tomorrow and explain that my partner and I have our half of the rent/deposit, they may let us start moving things in. Fingers crossed! As once we've moved, I can start setting things up for the baby, instead of having it all in boxes in the middle of my room!!

Congrats Vaurissa!
It's amazing how different births are between people... my water didn't break until I was well past 7cm but it completely surprised how it happened! Just wasn't how I expected it to happen as I was laying in the hospital bed and my mom and sister were there and casually I was like oops, I think my water just broke, the nurse thought maybe I just peed myself and I'm like uh no it went POP glug glug glug LOL

I have been reading posts through my phone but have not replied because its a pain in the butt but CONGRATS t everyone with babies! How exciting
Sharon - I don't know if it is different where you are but here when they induced me last week I had a gel put on my cervix to ripen it that was done every 6 hours, but our hospitals policy is only 2 doses in 24 hours but they said other places keep applying it till labour starts.
Between 4 and 6 hours the effects of the gel peaked and my contractions were the worst at those times but soon died off till the next dose was put in.
The next phase o the induction was to rupture my membranes, then after that they put a drip in syntocin i think it was? I can't remember but it speeds up labour. Mine sped up really fast and they had to turn it off after the first dose
Good luck, I hope it goes well for you!
My babies are doing great! We had one really rough night where Aria was awake every 40 minutes, it was such a miserable night! and I thought "omg what on earth have I got myself into?!" but we managed well and the next night they woke every 3 hours and were perfect babies.
Today I got left home alone and both babies wanted feeding and were screaming an i panicked a bit but with some juggling between arms and knees I manged to latch both babies on woohoo!
I have lived on my couch for a week pretty much. I only just manage to get a shower every night but somehow I still manage to stink of sweat and puke.
When I get up in the morning I look at my corner of the couch and I am like ohh man cos I know as soon as I need to sit down there I'll be there an hour at least. Sometimes the babies will feed one after another for hours at a time and I actually feel like a milk machine. I don't mind cos I made that choice to try my best at breastfeeding and I know this will pass eventually but its definitely not easy going.
I am loving every second of this though, its a huge challenge but they are so wonderful!
The In laws have driven me crazy nuts. They showed up the first night telling me what to do and the second visit they showed up with a tin of formula. I sai "no thanks I wont be using that" the nana goes "you wont be using it?" I said "uhm no, thanks but no" She then goes "NOT at ALL?!" I go "nope not at all"
Then she got in a huffy and walked of muttering "ohh I guess we will have to take it back then"
Then she went to the MIL and said in a really shocked offended voice "SHE doesn't WANT to use it!!"
The people didn't even ask me and I was so angry I saw red I wanted to give em a piece of my mind but to keep the peace I left it at that. They got the message but I could not believe people would just go buy formula without asking.
OH said they were just trying to be helpful because we got no sleep. I said Nappies are helpful, formula is rude and intrusive.
I knew formula would be an issue when I was pregnant, people thought I was crazy when I said bad things about them and how I bet they would try force formula on me etc etc but heh I was right. I knew it! I think they got it because I don't want them around while I'm feeding cos theres two of them I am basically topless on my couch all day long so visits have to be timed. I feel that the formula thing was a way they could come round without having to time it with me. too bad.
Only a week and a half left to go of this madness.
Haha there's a bit of a rant for you ladies! why do in laws have to be so hard?! I wish I had nice ones.

Hope everyone is well I am surprised I have actually been able to sit down this long without a baby crying, every other time I have had to cut my net time short after 5 minutes.

Zephyr - great to hear from you - sounds like you are doing amazingly! What a champ!!! Lordy i really don't understand why your in laws can't see what an amazing thing you're doing by breastfeeding - they should be encouraging you not buying formula! Here's wishing you patience and endurance to put up with the rest of the visit 
i had some painful bh's last night coming every 10mins... for a moment i thought it was time, still having some today but not as painful as last night. got midwife this afternoon so hoping she'll tell me something encouraging

Kendra - that is funny, I had mine broken but they were rushing everything and had a consultant walk in while it was being done and he sat down and apologised for just walking in but needed to clear up the babies birth weight issue, anyways mid conversation I felt it break and had to stop talking and the nurse goes "ohh I think she just realised her water broke" hehe
Also funny story I dont think I said but with my epidural I could not control my gas and I had people in and out of the room and had really bad gas like every couple of minutes bad.
I could feel it passing but could not stop it at all! I tried so hard to and all I could do was apologise to everyone in the room. The worst was when they were about to do an internal and I had to tell them to wait.
They said it was cos of his head pushing everything out, but I dunno I think they just said that to make me feel better. It was so embarrassing. OH was in fits of laughter, certaintly started some great conversations thats for sure.

Vaurissa - gorgeous pics thank you for sharing!
i've just been a mws & despite my fears junior is 3/5ths engaged - am hoping this is a good sign! she also said my bhs are actually contractions & that they just need to intensify & get closer together... starting to get excited. just need to hear that my dad got on ok in theatre (getting his gall bladder removed) then it's curries, walks, bumpy roads & maybe even dtd hahaha
