Shower looks lovely Vic.

Rachel I hope things move along quickly for you. I know I would be completely frustrated too.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Awww, Rachel... Like Helen said, it can be completely normal to go 42 weeks. Just try to distract yourself as much as possible. Your body knows what it's supposed to do. But also, Eden isn't going to come until she's ready. So if she's not coming yet, she must need just a little more time.
Hehe guess it's not enough that she'll be the boss once she gets here-- she's starting early. Hang in there.

Looks like a fun shower, Vicki! I love the clothesline!! Do you have pretty much everything you need now?

Nothing exciting happening here... Last night went over the in-laws and SILs were bugging me about the name and were frankly kind of annoyed that we're still talking about it but I won't share anything. So then DH is in the other room and we can hear him talking about it with the men... So SIL goes in there to be nosy. Grrr. So they all know we're talking about Samuel but I don't like Nicholas.
I just hate how everyone has an opinion and feels like they're allowed to share. No. You aren't. It's our baby and WE will name it.
(Of course this doesn't apply to BnB forums... obviously if I say, what do you all think of the name _____, I want an honest opinion. Because once we've decided, I'm not going to ask opinions. )

Vic - the shower looks awesome

Jen - We've kept Eden's name a secret because people were so vocal and rude about their like/ dislike for certain names. You'd think polite people would realise that if you like a name, you say so. If you don't really like it, then keep quiet! Gah. That obviously excludes on here, because we know we can come here for honest opinions without criticism!!

Had a big hug and a discussion with OH this morning and he made me feel better. At the end of the day, this time next week I'll have given birth one way or another, and no matter how it happens, or how long I need to take to recover, it'll be done and god willing we'll have our beautiful baby girl with us.

Met up for a chat with my friend and her little boy at a cafe and had a yummy Oreo milkshake and a good catch up. Felt good to get out and talk to someone socially and just spend a little bit of time on my own out and about before OH arrived to pick me up. Going to enjoy my time with OH this week and just resign myself to going in to hospital on Friday.

Hope everyone else is ok, and pregnancies and things are going well

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Exactly! It's like a no-win. We tell people, they give us unwanted opinions. We don't tell people, they get in a huff. Chill out, people! You wanna name something, get a fish. Our baby, our name.
Maybe I'll just make up an awful name and pass it off as our choice and let them squawk about it.
End rant.

An oreo milkshake sounds soooooo good.

Hey guys how is all

Rachel I know you prob don't want to hear but how are you Hun??

So I know I'm always Ill like all the time but I put on my fb I wish i did not have to work and my aunt replied so I replied back saying Ohh it's just today my belly is sore bloody round ligament Pain but at least I know baby is growing

An my cousin replied all you do is moan!!!!!! It really caught me off guard and has offended and upset me as I went moaning at all I was stating that my belly hurt but at least baby is growing

Sorry rant over but why did she feel the need to put That if she was thinking it fine i had some friends privte message me to say
She was out of order there was just no need

Xxxxx

 

[Sun_Flower]

Round ligament pain is awful, I remember it really hurt back in second tri for me *hugs* pay no attention, they don't know how you feel!!

 

[sspencer99]

Thanx rach I have it in my groin lol
But the thing is she's just had a baby
People make me so angry

Well I'm sitting in bed and I can hear my neighbour singing has put me in a better mood looooooool

Xxxxxx

 

[truthbtold]

Stacey my cousins all told me I complained too much with my last pregnancy thats why I didnt share my feelings with anyone this pregnancy. People can be so hurtful. Dont they know pregnant women are sensitive.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Seems like people forget how sensitive pregnant women are, huh?
I especially don't understand how someone who was JUST pregnant could say anything. You would think she'd be supportive.
Haha there were times when I was TTC and everyone and their mother and their second-cousin's brother were turning up pregnant and when they would complain I wanted to say some not-so-nice things to them. But of course I kept quiet, as any polite person would do.

Hey ladies..

Not much going on here either.. tree is up and decorated and so is mckenna's little one in her room.. she had lots of fun helping out.. today is an in the house day.. may wrap some more presents.. since time is going by so fast.. it will be dec on Thursday.. cant believe it..

I feel good and prepared for the most part for this baby to come.. mckenna is sleeping in her own bed, still taking a bit to fall asleep.. but still in her own bed.. spent my kohls cash online today for more christmas presents.. one for my dh and the other for my sister.. so getting closer to being done..

Just got to go get the mail.. hopefully my tv bill will be there so i can mail it off..

Vicki-your shower looks like lots of fun.. happy to hear you had a good time.. hope you have about everything you need..

Rachel-Really hoping Eden doesnt make you wait too much longer.. but like you said you will have you daughter soon no matter what the process.. natural or induction.. cant wait to see this princess that has kept you waiting so long..

Hope the rest of you are doing well..

Someone from my Nct was booked in for induction yday at 40+12. They didn't have a bed so she waited til 2pm then they told her to come back at 6pm. She went into labour at 5.30 and baby born in 3.5 hrs!

They were v doubtful that baby would fit as she's 4ft 9 but she was obviously fine! So ya never know what's gonna happen is my point.

Had my hb assessment and that's all fine. Starting with the big guns tomorrow and bringing out the clary sage oil while expressing, bouncing on ball and having sex

Hope you're all well. I'm off to bed. Mw tag team have worn me out.

 

[Sun_Flower]

Morning ladies Woke up this morning feeling really odd - my hips and pelvis and leg joints all feel really loose and wobbly, it's kinda hard to walk properly! Definitely got the pregnancy waddle going all of a sudden, haven't felt like this before now. Guess it's all part of being overdue, things start to go downhill lol! 3 days till my induction xx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Darnit!
I had a dream that you went into labor!!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Lol, I wish Jen! Stupid hips and back are really sore, it hurts to walk :S gonna have a bath in a bit to maybe see if it helps at all. Ruby has wrecked the bottom half of my tree, naughty kitty. I'm going to have to take it all off and start again. She's curled up asleep on the chair looking all sweet and innocent, but I know better!!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Maybe that means she's engaged? Does it feel like she's lower?

Hehe I can imagine the bottom of the tree just looks like a giant cat toy to Ruby!

So, another gloomy, rainy day here. Our yard is pretty muddy. Makes for fun trips out with my husband's dog. At least the dog seems grateful.
Hopefully we get our check today and get the car fixed tonight and will be back among society tomorrow.
Hehe I'm getting cupboard fever.

 

[lilrojo]

Hey ladies...

I can imagine.. my body has been hurting pretty good and im just entering 3rd tri tomorrow.. hope she comes really soon.. and sorry about your tree.. my cat has been in mine too.. checking it out.. drinking the water.. oh well.. they are cats..

[AmaryllisRed]

Yay for a good appt!
Awww, I feel like we have lots of cute maternity options here... but I've heard in the UK there isn't as much.
How is it that I think all three of us Team Green-ers are having boys? Seems at least one of us would have a girl... but I'm really feeling boy...

 

[lilrojo]

Haha well im hoping your right Jen.. at least with me..

Sarah-happy to hear from you and that all is going well.. hope baby flips around.. only a few weeks left.. and that you can find a dress that looks great with your bump

 

[Sun_Flower]

Lol well we've already got 3 girls with Josie, Macie and Eden so three boys would even it out a bit!

I've spent the evening playing movie trivia with OH (I won, woohoo!) and just had a nice relaxing bath. Gonna watch some TV with OH in a bit and have some Ben and Jerry's Fudge Brownie Fro-yo (yum yum yum) before going to bed. Three days till my induction!
