I love the pictures girls!

Build a Bear is so evil!!! Sooooo expensive when my daughter goes there. But I'll admit you can get some wicked coupons from them on birthdays and anniversaries of when you made an animal etc.

I'll post pictures of the unfinished nursery too tomorrow when there is some sunshine. There was none today, rather a miserable day really. Finally cracked open the puzzle I've been threatening for a while. I refuse to go into labor before I finish the puzzle. It's 1000 pieces. That should take me until Wednesday easily since I'm being dragged from the house all weekend. Tomorrow I get to go to MIL's to sit and watch everyone swim and make small talk and then on Sunday DD and I are leaving DH to his studying and going over to have tea at my parents house since it's my dad's birthday and then my brother who will also be there is taking DD for a few hours while I entertain myself shopping or the like.

Speaking of which... I want to get a present for DD for when the babies are born. Not 'from' the babies because that's kinda weird since I'm pretty sure newborns can't shop but you know what I mean. Anyway, I was planning on getting a necklace, found a Swarovski crystal shaped in an elongated heart in Cinderella blue which is DD's current favorite princess. I told DH about my idea to get something and he agreed but thought that a toy would be better. And then recently DD read my dial watch and got the time on it despite never having been taught how to tell time and then begged for me to buy her a watch. So what do you think a 5 year old would honestly appreciate more?

And speaking of that watch thing.. so today I was telling DH a story and as usual I spelled certain words so DD wouldn't know what we were talking about. She cannot read yet. And so you can understand how floored we were when she was understanding half the words I was spelling, from simple ones like m-o-m to b-i-r-t-h-d-a-y and N-i-c-o-l-e. First of all.. what the what? and second of all, does this mean I have to start talking pig latin? lol

Little- I would do a toy and something more meaningful. It could even be a movie or something. I gave Ella a bear that says Big Sister that was from the baby. She loves stufefd animals still at 7 so felt very special. Then from me I just gave her the new Barbie Charm school movie. She has them all......she was happy to get the gifts as a surprise in the hospital. Funny each of your babies is 6 lbs, my guy was only that!

MA- congrast for having yoru baby, cant wait for the update...but certainly know that after a c sectin its very hard to get on here...so may be a few days yet. Hope you feel well.

YT- bet yours is born already too. Cant wait for an update!

Anyone else feeling labor signs?

Nai- cute bumpy!

Kristin- thats cute the cat is looking at the baby. Does he climb in with it ever? How are you sleeping with 2? Im up at 2 am to feed tonight, and now at 4 im still awake just cuz im done sl;eeping the night apparently. Its aweful!
So exciting for everyeon to be going soon!

Lys- did you have the doc appt yet? What was the verdict? Sounds not fuN! But cute little guy

Kate- same to you, adorable little man. We have such cute little boys! Lol. You are probably sick of seeing mine on Facebook pics....but I cant stop taking cell phone pics of like everything he does and posting them. Oooops.

I am kinda worried...been over doing things and have shopped both days we've been home and nested the rest of the time. Today I began some real bad pain in c section area and my back. Then tonigt I ended up with fever and chills and woke up drenched through all the covers in sweat. This was my fever breaking, so thats good...hope it was just my body telling me Enough. I forget im 4 days Post- op from a very bad surgery and repair...I should have been relaxing not shopping and moving things around and cleaning....sigh. Im dumb!

Happy 1st of October girls! For those of you hoping for a Halloween baby just 30 more days! lol For the rest of us who didn't go early, you can pop now, you made it.

Nypage - ohhh... my daughter wants the Charm School movie too.. good idea. She wants so many toys it's hard to keep up but I'm sure I can find a good one at ToysRUs on Sunday when I get some freetime. DH will be happier if I get her a toy so it makes sense to do that. I know what you mean about doing to much after getting out of the hospital. I know I did so much immediately afterwards last time, shopping for necessities like bottling stuff etc. I'm determined to milk my situation with DH when he's around this time.

So we're not going to MIL's today. Yay! She and her husband are sick (they are always coming down or getting better from something which makes sense since they are hardcore smokers for life). I'm sad for DD not to go swimming but thankful not to have to do the whole visit thing.

No signs of labor from me.

 

[zb5]

Aww, cute pictures everyone! nypage, take care of yourself! That def sounds like overdoing it. Hope we hear from yt and MA soon.

No signs of labor here either. My mom was just visiting for the past few days and I was asking her about her labors, she said her water broke first with both me and my sister before any contractions started. So now I am thinking my water will just break randomly somewhere.

Today is my birthday, so I just have to make it through the day without having a baby, and I don't have to share a birthday! DH is going to make me a cake, and yesterday we went with my mom to a park that I've been wanting to check out and did some light walking. It was nice.

Happy birthday zb5 x

 

[MrsK]

oooh... love the pictures! William is soo cute! Hope everyone else is doing well. The FB group is having a new birth every day, it seems.. love seeing all the pictures of newborns!

I thought I was having signs yesterday... went for a brisk 45-minute walk while OH was playing disc golf at the park, and had some major contractions... never had any this strong before, they almost made me want to cry out. But when I stopped walking, they disappeared. So nothing there. I've had lots of painful stabs in my cervix, and this morning couldn't get out of bed because my bladder was full and anytime I tried to sit up I would get super painful contractions. OH finally had to lift me out of bed, and I was still screaming in agony. Note to self: no more long walks. Apparently it makes my SPD act up or something.

It's a lovely day here in the Midwest USA today.. but I guess I'm okay with LO waiting a while longer to come out. Had a breast ultrasound yesterday (45 minutes! Ugh my back was killing me by the time I was finally allowed to sit up again!)... which only made the specialists conclude that the mass in my breast is abnormal. Thanks, that helps.. =/
I've been scheduled for a biopsy early Monday morning and possible surgery the same day, depending on the results. Never thought I'd have this stuff to deal with at the end of my pregnancy! It does keep me busy enough to not be very impatient to go into labor, though.. so I guess that's a plus.

Hmm.. other than that, I'm actually doing very well. OH gave me a massage this morning and brought me breakfast in bed.. so I'm off to a good start so far. The house could use some cleaning, but I've decided not to care. I'm going to relax today and just enjoy my weekend without worrying about getting anything done. Ahh.. laziness..

Happy birthday, zb5!!! Hope you have a lovely day!!

They never jump into their things when they are in them....they like to jump in the bassinet though to snoop when we are holding them..lol I'm sleeping ok most nights, the boys actually sleep most of the night...except last night..lol They eat so much during the day that they pass out at night which is awesome and the dr said it was ok so i'm going with it...lol They will usually wake up around 7:30am, I nurse them and then they sleep till 10 or 11...this morning hubby let me sleep in and took the boys downstairs

Hey ladies just a quick update. We just got home home from the hospital. I had a 24 hour stay after she was born because of my GSB + status. All is perfect though.

After my water broke we went straight to the hospital. Labored over night and never progressed passed 4cm. After 12 hours of labor my doctor came in and checked things out and there was a small piece of my waters that had no broken was was keeping her head off my cervix. She broke the last piece at 7:50am. I was 4 cm. Allison Marie was born at 8:56 am after only 1 hour to go from 4-10 and only 3 pushes( 1 contraction)

She weights 7lb3oz(showing growth scans really can be off) She is 18.5 inches long and perfect in every way. Added just a few pics. i will be back later with a better update.

 

[Kristin83]

Congrats! She is beautiful!!

Happy birthday zb5

MrsK - hope your results come back negative from the brest exam. Thinking of you

Hi everyone - hope you are all well!

AFM: just returned home from my surprise baby shower. One of my close friends popped round for a cup of coffee earlier - and then whisked me off to another close friends house....where my baby shower was being held!! I had no idea at all!! it had been planned for weeks, and I was completely oblivious! My Mum and Gran were there, as well as 6 of my closest friends. and my OH had been in on the secret too!
It was a lovely day, sat out in the sunshine with food and drink, playing games and opening gifts. I do feel trully lucky to have such wonderful friends and family
