Aww congratulations newlywed. Such tiny babies so far. I'm so not used to that all the babies I've been around were at least 9 lbs when born, that makes me a bit nervous.

I'm so excited now I'm totally ready for baby to just be here and not have to work. Work has been so slow today and I'm totally over it, I've been doing laundry all day ...washed all the towels, bedding and throws because I know once baby is here ill just want to enjoy her, I agree with you rcdm, I'm looking forward to getting into a routine with her. Going on walks before the weather gets too cold and losing this gut lol

Bless her! BF is mega hard for them first 6 weeks! There's so much that's normal and books don't tell you! Soreness normal (urgh not looking forward to that bit ), cluster feeding (which leads to mums feeling baby's not getting anything when really it's just getting you to make more), growth spurts, pumping (how some can pump hardly anything and leads them to think there not making anything when really pumps just don't work out for all mums). I think you have to be quite determined to keep going cause it is so hard work. I nearly gave up with my first, but I was too stubborn on myself lol. And I'm glad I did! First of all formula is bloody expensive!!! And I'm too lazy to be washing/sterilising/making up bottles all the time ha ha, and obviously the health benifits.

Oh another thing I just thought of which seems to be missed or dismissed quite easily without looking is tongue ties, there so common and a big cause of latch problems, don't know what it's like in the US but it's sometimes hard to get a confirmed diagnosis or quick treatment here and I have a friend who had to go private for it diagnosing and snipping and my SIL fought for weeks on end before finally getting to see a specialist but by that point her supply was ruined and he was used to bottles from expressing as he couldn't latch

Aww yes definitely! It's funny she was talking to me about how she's struggling and I was thinking... yep that's all normal... and now I am totally reminded of what I have to look forward to in 2 weeks! Haha I had forgotten how rough it can be at first. But that's something I told her too - you will get past this stage and it won't be like this forever, and soon enough you'll have forgotten how hard it was at first.

I'm not sure if they looked at him for tongue tie issues. If she continues to struggle I will mention it to her!

OMG congrats newlywed!!! That's so great she's doing so well! And if I remember right your hubby had a feeling she was going to come early, looks like he was right! That's crazy. Can't wait to hear your birth story! And I bet you are so excited because I know you've been dealing with GD... order yourself a big cinnamon roll! haha

Congrats newlywed.

I can't help but feel slightly jealous when I see people having their babies even though I want him to wait until at least Saturday. I'm so anxious to meet him and not be pregnant anymore. There's been so many babies born on the due date group I am on on Facebook.

Hanging in there Stacey, I have my 38 weeks appt tomorrow morning and I'm looking forward to seeing If I'm dilated anymore then the 1 cm I was last week. how are things with you?

I had a great conversation with my 5 yo niece tonight. She wasn't sure if she should be afraid for me or not . She started off by trying to feel the baby she saw my stomach move and must have thought oh wow wanna see if I can feel it. So she comes over to me with her hands on my stomach and says I think your gonna have your baby in 1 week and the doctor has a knife ready and I was like I hope he doesn't. And she looked at me just so confused like well how else is that baby coming out then lol and then she felt her kick and was like "what her foot is right there?"...is she upside down? And I was just laughing ..I said yes, when she's ready to come out she turns her head down and gets ready and if she doesn't go head down then the doctor needs to use his knife, and apparently that she understood. She looked at my sister and said is that why the doctor used a knife for me, because I wasn't head down. And my sister said yep. We went on like this for a good 10 minutes....she's so confused. I was waiting for her to ask from where the baby is coming out.....but she didn't LOL

Too cute! My 8 year old thought they come out of a woman's butt! Lol. No idea where he got that idea. Gl at your appt tomorrow!

How is everyone doing? xx

Doing pretty good here, how are you doing?

 

[zephyr]

Haha sprite kids are so funny! My 5 year old son asked me where the baby comes out the other day and I didn't know what to say to him so I told him I have to push the baby out like a big giant poo! He laughed a lot and that answer was enough thankfully!

The baby has stayed completely off my pubic bone and has dropped im sure. I'll find out tomorrow. My bump dropped lower again today and I've been quite achy and crampy with more tightenings.
I really have no idea if I will go before my due date or not, ive always gone over but all this stuff has started earlier so who knows.

As long as I get my grocery shopping done tonight I don't care! Still not in a hurry for baby to arrive any time soon but if it did, it would be a nice surprise.

 

[Jcliff]

My c section is scheduled for the 30th if he doesn't show before then. I'm hoping he makes an appearance like now. I can barley walk!!
