[new_to_ttc]

pmsl.. I'll put the BOBs away though yeah... too much assistance

OMG I am so impatient, where is she darn it! lol I want to dry my hair but I cant hear the door if I do that and Joshua is far too distracted to listen out for me pmsl

 

[24/7]

Hahahahaha - Life is tough new.

I am very much looking forward to my MW appointment tomorrow as I so want her to say Sam is engaged, but at the same time I will be so upset if he isn't. xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

24 - fidget ISNT engaged! She said its not necessary to be fully engaged for labour to start and Im not to worry! MW been (obviously lol), cervix is 75% effaced, and very soft (get with that EPO girls its working here!!) She has put me down on paper as 1cm dilated, but said it was very easy to put a finger tip in and Im more than 1cm. She has performed a gentle sweep due to the bleed she said she didnt want to go too deep, but said it was easy to reach and lots has changed since a week ago, so hopefully will go on my own. She was able to feel the membrane and head but said she could move his head so he isnt fully engaged, but no matter. Fingers crossed now, thats my last antenatal appt, I either go on my own or I go in on Wednesday... arghh scary! lol

 

[molly85]

damn thats a scary thought no matter how much you want them out. what hapen to joshua when you need to go in?

 

[new_to_ttc]

Joshua is being picked up from school by a friend, staying wednesday night at hers and hopefully I'll be home Thursday and he can come home from school to me on Thursday. If it all happens quickly enough Wednesday and I come home in the evening, he'll come straight home to me I want him soon as

 

[24/7]

Woop, go MW!!

Well OH has had a poke around and says he can reach what he thinks is my cervix and get one finger in?! He said it feels like two lips parting as he puts a finger in?! Does this sound abour right?!

Oh I am very much hoping for an internal tomorrow to see whats happening!! xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

Yup that sounds like what he should be feeling Tell him to do it again and run his finger round in a circular motion and have a home made sweep when he does it put a hand on the top of the bump and gentley push down xxxx

 

[24/7]

We gave the sweep a go, but minus the bump pushing!! He has just left for work but will give the pokin/sweeping plus pushing down a go tonight, oh how exciting!! Who would ever have thought when this thread began we would be finding this exciting at the end!! xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

i know lol Oh so glad he was able to feel something for you, I only say the push down thingy because thats what MW just did for me lol Ive never had a sweep before but thats what she did lol

 

[24/7]

It makes sense though, pushing baby down towards the cervix as you sweep. Poor OH!! But I ensured he was well rewarded to were all happy now!! xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

You sound in such better spirits today hun Its lovely!! Im going to get in a bit of walking today help the sweep work lol

 

[heyyady]

New- I can't believe hes not come yet! Get out and walk tons, with any luck he'll be #15!
Rochelle has turned out to be quite the princess- we are still up at 3 am- quite wide eyed- while Dad snores away across the room! She is also not happy unless being held SOOO not what I had in mind!


I had an interesting experience tonight- Rochelle's middle name is Lorianne after my best friend, Lori Anne, who died of brain cancer 9 years ago- ok- well the pediatric and post pardum wing is in the section of the hospital that used to be Oncology (the cancer wing)- tonight when they showed us to our room it just happened to be the room that Lori spent 3 1/2 months in and out of right before she passed away- The nurse was pushing the isolette with Rochelle in it and walking ahead of me- when she walked into THIS room, I burst into tears! the nurse and my husband, after figuring out through the crying WHY I was crying, wanted to move rooms- I insisted not. I wasn't crying because it was sad- I find it a beautiful sign that Lori is watching over her little namesake! It just hit me all at once, ya know?

 

[new_to_ttc]

Aww heyy thats really beautiful I love the name Lori-Anne I looked after a little girl called Lori-Ann she was a tiny little madam but an angel all the same

Hows Charlotte doing? They said when she'll be home yet?

 

[heyyady]

She's doing beautifully- they haven't given us an official day yet- have to wat to watch her weight gain and eating habits but they hare getting better and she gained an ounce tonight- I've already snuck off to the NICU 3x tonight to BF and cuddle her- It kills me that I don't have them both!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Awww hun, wont be long now and this waiting will be a distant memory xxxx

 

[24/7]

Thanks new, feeling more hopeful today!! Soup is cooking now, but blood sugars crashed whilst I was peeling and had to have a packet of skittles as was sweating, blurry vision and shaking - Naughty Sam!!

Glad you have little lady home hey, roll on both of them being there. xx

 

[new_to_ttc]

[24/7]
