*** NOVEMBER 2011 BABIES ! *** Chrysanthe-Mums - 39 babies here already!!!

phew trying to play catch up - i read most of the posts on my phone throughout the day but hate trying to type out my own replies on the phone!! had to add the bolding in my post just to help me keep up with all you ladies! :haha:

tish - could still be the start of something, right? plug loss after the sweep and all that :) good luck today getting things going!

congrats on full term Mrs. AJ!! so sorry you had to go through the movement scare yesterday though :hugs: glad all was well!

and congrats on 39 weeks Fides, Dr. G, and Nyn!!! (hopefully didn't miss anyone... oh yes, me too, 38 weeks today! :dance:)

also congrats to 1sttimearound, though I'm not sure I know her :haha: !! yay for babies :D

repo you look great! love the pic with the baby, hard to believe how tiny they are at first :) i think the post-delivery swelling is pretty normal, have seen friends go through it after c-sections or anytime they had to be on an IV during delivery, i'm sure it will go away soon :)

bbygurl - sounds like you have been having a time of it! hope your contractions either chill out, or progress toward the arrival of your baby since you are so nearly full term!!

tlh & nyn and anyone else I missed - likewise hope the contractions either die down or lead somewhere (though for tlh, not until doctor returns hehe)! those contractions sound really frustrating :(

mummycat - hope you are hanging in there too! think you'll hold out for a november baby? ;) at least it seems more likely that your parents will be around, you were wanting a slightly later "arrival," right?

afm i still have zero signs of anything haha. no plug loss, no "show," no contractions that i am aware of. either i have no clue what they feel like or nothing is happening! which is ok really. i do really want a november birth (we are all at scorpio though now, for any other astrology nerds :) - which i am excited about. my DH and I are both pisces so I'd hoped for a water-sign baby :haha:). i had a premonition months ago, out of the blue, that he'd be born november 1st. but really, who knows? :shrug:

also work has kind of lightened up suddenly due to 1) the fact that i worked hard this weekend to make a deadline and 2) some fortuitous shifting of court deadlines/schedules :D while i'm not super excited about working at the moment, i think it does keep my mind occupied so i don't think about when i'm going to go into labor very much!
 
Tish..hopefully the sweep gets things going for you..

nyn...hopefully the contractions get stronger and more painful!! :haha:

TLH...hopefully baby can hang on for your actual doctor next week..

babyhopes...awe, I understand your fear...though I am READY for my baby!! Hopefully yours stays in a bit longer...

bby, hopefully the contractions worsen or stop. though I think your LO is going to be early.

qwk...glad you have deadlines to keep you busy...happy 38 weeks!! And I am sure Q will come when he's ready...


AFM...I had my Dr's appt this morning..she did an exam and I am 50% effaced, 2cms dilated and she gave me a sweep...OUCH!! (though so happy she did). She said baby wasn't engaged yet...:( But now am bleeding a lot...which I think is normal....but do you ladies know?? Fx'ed this gets something started...
 
Wow, lots of contractions last night! I had a couple of painful contractions as well, but nothing this morning.

Happy 39 weeks Andrea and Joey!!
 
the midwife appt----well where do i start! :hissy: there talking more scans and induction now :wacko:
 
went to my normal mw appt(yet a different mw)

anyway i measuring 43cm.had scan last week baby est 8lb 4oz.!
she felt my tummy and said when are they inducing u.i said they arent.she looked very puzzled!:wacko:
She called up hosp to request another scan and consultant appt.she feels they should induce me asap as the baby and fluid feels so big shes worried if she doesnt call hosp it counld result in csection as the baby might not fit into pelvis properly!

Wow Dr G - 2cms that's fab!!!! Seems like your little one is similar to mine in the fact the head is still high but definite cervical changes - woo hoo!!! :happydance: Are you bouncing too?!!!

I had a lot of fresh bleeding after my sweep on Monday and even now, it's a little brown discharge and the show I've had is brown in colour. I believe because the sweep is stretching the cervix you can get some bleeding and in a way, it's a good thing as it means they were able to stretch the cervix properly! Good luck I really hope it works for you!!! :hugs:

Babyhopes - when have they organised another scan for you? What a nightmare!!! It's horrible the not knowing and being told different things honey - I hope they come up with a plan soon for you :hugs:

Hope everyone's contractions start amounting to something soon!!!! Mine have all stopped so have got it in my head that things aren't going to happen just yet which is fine I guess!
 
im hoping these contractions get worse so i can have lil Aaryella here. with all of this going on my body hurts extremely bad, i feel like im going to explode, and just extremely tired. all i want to do is sleep sleep sleep!
 
I'm so quiet in this thread because it moves so fast I have a hard time keeping up! I do read it all the time, though, and just wanted to say how excited I am we have 9 babies already!!! I can't believe it's finally our turn!!!
:happydance:
 
so we FINALLY finished the nursery (was waiting on the diaper pail, which in hindsight makes very little difference:dohh:), and wanted to share the pics with you guys! i put soooo much love into this room - practically anything that could be handmade is indeed handmade - and i just adore how it has turned out. it makes me so excited to have a little Quinton to actually put in the room! :cloud9:

a few pics are attached below, and then here is a link to the rest! :) let me know if the link doesn't work, though it should

wow qwk, your nursery looks absolutely awsome, wish i had that talent my lo doesnt have her own room so i cant really do any of that fancy stuff but do still want to get a shelf and some blocks for her name to paint up and put on the shelf so she has something with her name on it.
 
Wow QWK, I am always impressed by your DIY talents! That room is awesome, I really love the colors!
