PAL Spring 2011 babies - Welcome Mason, Iris, Lily, Isaac, Luca & Dominic !!!!

[Juste3boys]

We are going to be doing the ponseti method which means about 5-6 weeks of plaster casts then 3 months of having boots and bars on 23 hours a day and then the boots and bars will be worn for 12 hours a day till he is 5.

I think my big problem with bonding was that because i had high bp in this pregnancy and the only other time i had that was when i had the pre-eclampsia that killed my daughter i was convinced it was another girl and with the scan saying that as well I had spent most of the pregnancy wondering how it would feel to have a daughter after losing a daughter that i was just shell and then when he didn't feed and had other issues I really struggled to accept it, although i am over the moon to have another boy and i hadn't bought any girly stuff.

getting there now though

happy 38 weeks Rebecca!!!
happy 37 weeks Brandi!!! full term!!!
happy 33 weeks Leanne !!!

 

[tinybutterfly]

oh wow, that's quite a long journey then juste! but he'll be used to it from an early age,
that'll probably make things easier, if you have to introduce things like that once they're toddlers, it's alot harder.

had another gyn apointment yesterday, measures on target for head circumference, femur 33weekssomething, tummy between 32-33 weeks, right where she should be.
they estimate her 43cm and 2.3kg whiiii

she (and she's still a she haha) also filled the whole screen, i could barely make anything out of it now.

monitor also showed i have some contractions, he asked if i felt them (yes) and if they bothered me (no)
next apointment in 2 weeks!


happy 38 weeks Cheryl!!!
happy 37 weeks Patsy, Kabie, Swanny & Meow!!! whiiii 4 new full term babies!

Groan. Up with evil tummy pains, hour 3... almost like horrid gas, but unproductive. The BH have been escalating all week, backache, lower crampiness, frantic nesting. I hope tonight is a false alarm, because I'm exhausted and just want some sleep. Lying on my left side in warm water helped, but I'm still knotting up periodically. I should probably pay closer attention to when. I really want to get through this last week before the scheduled grand opening next Wednesday. There are SO many things I need/want to do in the next few days... waking up my doctor and family and scooting off to the hospital at 3AM for emerge surge isn't one of them. Fingers crossed...

Hiya,

Sorry I havnt been aroundd, I had my LO at 39+3 on the 29th march! Tyler thomas entered the world at 8.14pm weighing 8lb11.5oz a 3rd degree tear as he came out arm over face but I did it!!!

[Bittersweet]

[Tulip]

Congratulations Kayleigh! These naughty boys know how to damage their mummas

Thanks for the update on Becca sweets! FXd all went well xx

 

[Lianne1986]

congrats lovehearts, good choice of name btw

yep Jaiden came out with his hand ove rmy face. its funny bcuz on his 20week scan pic he has his hand up by his face, he came out like tht and sleeps like tht

 

[braijackava]

Haha max was the exact same way. We could never get a good picture of his face with the 3D ultrasound. He came out the same with arm around neck and hand by face. He still sleeps with his arm and hand in the same position. He will even manage to get that arm out when I swaddle him.
Max has to go to the hospital today for an ultrasound today to see if he has pyloric stenosis. If he does he will need surgery asap. A little scared, hope that's not what it is.

 

[Lianne1986]

good luck hun ^^ xxx

 

[Tulip]

Good luck Christina x

 

[lovehearts]

He did have his hands up by his face at all the scans lol and now sleeps with his hands over his face - must be comfy for them. Bless our little princes - worth every stitch!!

Xxx

 

[braijackava]

Ultrasound was all normal! So relieved. We are getting him some reflux medicine to see if that helps at all.

 

[Juste3boys]

Its a nightmare isn't it? Tom has reflux and we are currently using gaviscon although it doesn't seem to be doing much. hope you find something that works xxx

 

[Tulip]

I've heard from many reflux mummies that if you can get Ratinidine (sp?) prescribed it's much better than gavison xx

 

[tinybutterfly]

i'm still tired, have nothing much to say
cat peed in the house and I had to clean it up
OH said "you should have asked!"
no "you should have known!!!"

happy 42 weeks Hayley!!!
happy 41 weeks Eve!!!
happy 38 weeks Mojo!!!
happy 35 weeks Lucy!!!

Well, I made it to my birthday with my special present still well wrapped - I really thought we were going to be taking a midnight run to the hospital the other night. Hopefully if I continue to take it ridiculously easy I'll make it to the 40/40 party & shower Sunday, though fighting the nesting urge is killing me -- I would prefer to meet the new surgeon Monday and head to the hospital at the appointed time Wednesday. I feel prepared though - bags on the pristine change table ready to go, clothes all re-washed and folded (and sighed over again). I can't believe there are only 4 full days left. I'm trying to savor these last few days of pregnancy which is balanced by really wanting to ditch the 25 extra pounds strapped to my belly and finally hold her, see her face!!! Ooooh... have a beautiful weekend everyone!
