Hey guys- sorry been Mia but had a couple of busy days. Had wedding a couple of days ago which was lovely albeit a tad tiring. Then yesterday had a soa day with sil and mil and aunt in law. We got scalp massage and shoulderback neck massage sonic and relaxed. Then had lunch and got to use swimming pool etc facilities.
Steph- can't believe what a psycho you have as a neighbour. No wonder you want to move. Glad Oliver was a good boy and allowed you to sleep last night. Yea to him being a week old.
Smiley- any movement yet, did you get a sweep. Sorry to hear your back is so sore. I will keep everything crossed for you that things happen soon and quickly!
Beauty- how's things with you? You must be well over halfway. How's the bump?
Certain- hope Eleanor is behaving herself and you are getting better.
Afm- got scan on tues. Did keep phoning to try to change it to before the wedding but no such luck. Getting very nervous. Just want to know everything is ok. Not had any symptoms last few weeks fo terrified they are going to tell me there is nothing there!!!! Just want to be out of first tri and be able to relax a bit more!!

Eeeeeek happy 1 week Oliver!! That has gone fast hasn't it! How are you all getting on??
Hoping - Your spa day sounds like heaven!!
Well on I woke up in the middle of the night on Friday to some pretty strong BH or faint contractions - they weren't regular or anything until about 4am when they were coming every 10 mins. But by 7 they had slowed down... So looks like things are starting to go in the right direction, but it's going to be a slooowwww process! I was so busy yesterday with OH's birthday and my friends surprise baby shower and I was getting lots of pains and aches and cramps (lower back ache especially) and losing bits of plug, but this morning there was almost nothing. FX it starts back up again soon!!
I will be having a sweep on Thurs hopefully if needed so we'll see.
I can tell something is happening - but still going to be a while before the baby actually comes!
Hope everyone has had a nice weekend x x x x

Hey girls - just wanted to update (whilst I'm trying to kill time!!) - waters went at 2.30am and I've been having contractions roughly every 4 mins since!! 
They're getting more painful and lasting 30-45seconds now. I sent OH back to bed and now can't decide when to tell him 'it's time' and to call MIL over for DS. Trying to hold out as long as possible - ideally at a more reasonable time of the morning!

Eeeeeek so exciting smiley!! Im thinking of you and lots of dilating thoughts 
yey!!! cant wait for an update!
Steph - happy one week Oliver how you finding things? hows the feeding/sleeping? are you breastfeeding?
Hoping - rather jealous of your spa day i have to say! sounds lovely im very excited about your scan and cant wait to hear alls ok
AFM - well things are better with me - feeling well again (apart from tired!) so thats nice . Eleanor is feeding every 2.5 hrs during the day for about half hour, however the last few nights she has done a couple of 3 hr stretches woop! She still doesnt like going in her crib so we have been co-sleeping a bit. I always said i wouldnt co sleep so its amazing how things change when you are tired! I actually quite like it but we are still trying the crib - we started to use a growbag last night which was good - although more of a faff when changing nappies at night!
Ive actually managed to leave the house now as well - went out for coffee with friends and me and DH went out for lunch on sat - crazy how much of a big deal it felt. Im just nervous of feeding in public.

Thanks girls!!
Quick update (just copying from my journal post)
Things are still progressing, but slowly!! We went to the hospital but have come home now - the place I want to actually give birth is full and still got a while to go so thought may as well see how far I can get at home and then fx can go up to the midwife unit when really need to!!

Hoping - ur spa day sounds lovely!! Hope the scan all goes well eek!!
Certain - its such a big achievement leaving the house isnt it? Thats great Eleanors gettin herself into a wee routine!! Makes such a difference doesnt it? She is just the cutest!!
AFM - well il be honest here, im struggling a bit! I totally forgot how hard it is having a newborn!! And trying to get it into my head that he is different from Brandon is really challenging! His feeding is a bit erratic, sometimes he'l go 4hrs, sometimes 2 and a half! But hes goin abt 6hrs thru the night so we cant complain! Im jst totally a creature of habit and im struggling with not being able to tell if hes hungry or not! But, apart from that, were going good! Brandon is brilliant with him, always wants to cuddle him or kiss him! And keeps sayin hes the best wee brother ever! So thats lovely to see!
But.....SMILEY!!! Keep us posted! Faaaaar to excited!!
Xxxxxx

CONGRATULATIONS smiley so excited for you. Try to rest up love
Steph - Im sorry to hear you are struggling a bit. I just cant imagine needing to get up with a toddler at the moment. It must be so hard. Its good he is going longer at night now - I was told i had to wake her every 3hrs at first but i guess he is doing ok Eleanor is now going more like 3 hrs between feeds which is a bit better - still exhausting though. especially as she still really doesnt like her crib 
she is more awake now though which is lovely, she just loves looking at her baby gym

Certain - i cant believe Eleanor is nearly 4 weeks old! That is scary!!! I wonder why she doesnt like her crib? Shes prob enjoyin her cuddles with mummy and daddy too much!
We were told that we should wake Oliver up every 4 hours but i chose to ignore that piece of advice lol! We didnt wake Brandon so jst gonna do the same with Oliver! Lol! He definitely likes to be held tho! If hes awake, he wants to be cuddled or held! But i dont mind!! He just doesnt seem to like bein in his swing for too long! But im sure that'll come in time!
His wee face is startin to change now! Hes losing that proper wee newborn look! Il need to go on the laptop and upload pictures!

Scan went well. Saw baby and hb. Was so comfortable didn't want to move for measurements. When she got baby to move he/she just went back to the same position. Feel if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. She had asked how I was feeling at the start and I said I was nervous so I was relieved when she said well there is something in there and it has a heartbeat. I breathed a sigh of relief. She then said there is only 1 and dh breathed a sigh of relief. Have 20 week booked in for June 11th. My dates were pretty accurate just -1 day to ticker. Thanks again for all help and reassurance!
Smiley- Oscar is a beatiful name. Congratulations again
Steph- def upload some pictures I haven't seen any yet. How's your stupid pain in the arse neighbor?
Certain- glad you feeling better. Can't believe Eleanor is a month old already

Hoping- yey!!! I'm so pleased your scan went well such a relief! So are you going to start telling people now ? How exciting! Re photo, I upload it to photobucket from my phone then post the link
Steph- how are you? Hope you are coping with the sleep! I'm not sure why she doesn't like it. She is fine in there in there when she is awake but fights sleeP big time and then falls straight away on us! Oh well.
Smiley- eeeeek! how's it going?
