PAL Winter Babies 2010/11 - ** Waiting impatiently for our remaining babies! **

Hope the insulin goes ok wish. Are you injecting in your tummy? I just pinch an inch and go for it, it's not so bad. Sounds like they are looking after you with 3 appointments per week. Are they going to scan you again so you can get another glimpse of lovebug?

Hope you're getting some time to relax in your busy schedule

Thanks hun! I did it in my thigh. The needles are the same ones I used for IVF so I didn't even feel the prick! I might get a scan next week or the week after. They are saying he will be a 9 pound baby, so we are talking about a c-section date. 39 weeks for sure if he doesn't come early! 7 weeks and 5 days away!

Are they talking to you about having a big baby too Triple? What are they planning for you, if you don't mind me asking

 

[wish2bmama]

Aw Sea Hope things go okay for you xx

 

[TripleB]

Oh yes wish - big baby predicted. Estimated to weigh 6lbs at 34 weeks so also a 9lber at birth (just like it's Mummy). I'm going to be induced between 38 and 39 weeks, should find out date on Monday. Will be attempting evacuation methods from 37 weeks though - DH is beside himself !

I might try the thigh, been alternating sides of the tummy so far.

[wish2bmama]

hehe, evacuation methods

OH! Happy 35 weeks btw! And to you too hb! x

 

[hb1]

Wow - some big babies predicted!!

Have a fab time at the party!!

Yey !!! 35 weeks - 5 weeks left for me and 4 for Lou !!

[TripleB]

Will be interesting to see if the predictions are correct, they've been wildly out for some ladies on the GD threads - lots of tiddlers rather than chunkies!

Can't believe we're nearly there h, can remember getting our BFPs!

xxx

 

[wish2bmama]

Sigh, I'll be all by my onesies soon! It does seem like just yesterday we were all in 2nd tri

 

[hb1]

I remember my bfp as if it was yesterday!! It's crazy how it's flown!! I wonder if Ollie will take your induction to heart and decide to come early!!! ( likely not tho, knowing my luck I'll be overdue!! )

I'm so tired - lack of sleep ( awake since 3am both today and yesterday ) and workmen being here at 8am means I am shattered - and I am being a lady what lunches today ( loathed to cancel it cos the workmen can't do their job in the agreed timescales - mostly due to "another job" that he agreed to do at the same time grrrrr ). So I'm tired - I had some little jobs planned while the chap is workng but now with the exhaustion I feel absolutely no motivation!!

[TripleB]

I had a bad night too - woke up at 5am and just lay there thinking about my to-do list at work and just one week to do it in! Still, that's also a very nice thought!

Damn workmen h - are they going to finish today? Enjoy your lunch!

Wish - you won't be alone

[hb1]

If he doesn't I'll cry - he has till 11am as that's when I need to leave!!

hx

 

[hb1]

PS Wish - you def won't be left here on your tod - we're like the marines - we never leave anyone behind

hx

 

[TripleB]

If he doesn't I'll cry - he has till 11am as that's when I need to leave!!

hx

If I were you I would bring the hormonal-pregnant-woman waterworks on at 10.30 - give him a heads-up! xxx

 

[hb1]

lol!! I'm going to start making it very clear by getting ready to go out!!

I know how you feel on the sleep front, at least last night I managed to spend the whole night in my own bed, still woke up every hour but managed to go back to sleep.

OH has his works Christmas party today so won't be home tonight, hope baby stays put for 24 hours, no signs yet though

 

[hb1]

Still here he doesn't take hints apparently - and he is on the home stretch - I just want it finished - aaarrrrggggh

It'll be good having the bed to yourself Sea - if you can get up and read or something without disturbing oh it might be better - I always stress about waking oh up - he does get worse sleep because of me even if he doesn't wake up - as being restless probably disturbs him...

hx

 

[wish2bmama]

oh I agree with you H. That is a silver lining about DH being gone, I don't have to worry about the sleeping problems. And I can stretch out and take all the pillows for myself!

I hope that guy leaves soon! Tell him he will cause you to go into early labor, so he needs to leave asap. lol

Hope the little one stays put for the next 24 hours Sea!

afm, it's dh's birthday today. i sent him a package from the Baby and he got it early!

xx

 

[SEA34]

I know, I feel so guilty as he has to go to work and I know I'm keeping him awake, at least I can sleep in the day.

Hope you managed to go out h

Hi girls we are all still here then - im getting fat and fed up now.

Managing to sleep better as doc has given me some light dose sleeping tablets and for 3 nights ive managed 5 hours continious, albeit with Noel in the spare room but none the less.

We are all having to reapply for our jobs at work which is all I need at the moment, I will still have a job but it may not be the one im doing now but there is no cuts in salary etc so im just gonna sit and enjoy maternity leave.

Sorry sleep is bad H and Louisa I know that desperate feeling thats why I had to go docs as I had 3 weeks with less than an hour sleep per night.

Wish - you maybe the last one on Winter babies but I doubt we will all forget you lol !! It dont seem that long for any of us now.

5 weeks for me maybe 4 if bubs is big at next scan on 20th - midwife says consultant can overule 39 week section so fingers crossed he may come on 10th Jan which is mybirthday.

Hope we are all well xxxx

 

[wish2bmama]

Aw, thanks all I feel very loved xx

 

[hb1]

Yey!!! the clean up has begun - now if only I wasn't so absolutely exhausted I could be effective in getting this place back to normal!! EVERYTHING needs cleaning and sorting out plus the painting - aaarrrgggh - but at least we are no longer at the mercy of the tradesfolk!! Thank goodness for my OH - he is being v proactive and getting stuff done - he's FAB!!
