Yay! Jen, that's awesome news!!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Aww Jen that's so good, bet it's difficult sharing one vehicle when you've got a LO.

39 Weeks for me today. Clary Sage bath, massage, DTD AND a full moon last night did nothing, think she's barricaded herself in here. No 11/11/11 baby for me, lol!

Trying desperately to think of things to occupy myself - I honestly don't mind if she's late or anything, I just wish I had things to distract myself from the constant countdown - it'd be a lot easier!

Hope everyone's doing well, anyone got anything good planned for the weekend? I'm off to my Aunt's house for Mexican food tomorrow night with OH, then roast dinner on Sunday at my Grandparent's as usual

Happy 39 weeks Rachel.. only 7 more days..

My plans for the weekend are painting peanuts room and decorating for christmas.. I know its a bit early yet but im pregnant so thats my excuse.. im just over fall.. lol

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Happy 39 weeks, Rachel!! One more week! Hard to believe!!

Well, no check today. They are mailing us a power of atty form that we have to sign and mail back and have the title notarized and mail it in and THEN we get our money.
Stupid insurance companies.
Argh.
Chocolate chip cookies seem to be helping the situation.

 

[babydustcass]

hey ladies,

glad to hear the check will be (hopefully) with you very soon, it must be a nightmare to have to share your car, especially when you are used to and need two vechicles.

I am feeling great, had a lovely day at my friends house today with some of the girls for a catch up. Was nice to get out the house and pass some time. Only 9 days left for me till dd. I wonder what the stats are on labour timings compared to previous births?

My curry is here... eek! lol

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Hmmm, I wonder what the stats are...
Maybe Macie won't come early... because George was born on the 28th day of the month, right? (going by your sig) So I would assume, going by a theory that I have, that she will also be born near the 28th... I doubt she will be late since she is a second baby...
Okay. My official guess.
I think you will go into labor on the 21st and Macie will be born on the 22nd.

Evening ladies

went for a loooooooooong walk today with OH, just wanted to get out of the house (plus my friend who's 2 weeks behind me is in early labour which is JUST not fair, lol) think I overdid it though because when I came back I started to feel like I was coming down with the flu - really achey, tired and a bit sick. Ended up sleeping from 3pm till 7pm, feeling a bit better now. Really craving cereal for tea so OH has gone to get me some from the supermarket

 

[DrGomps]

hope you feel better Rachel…keep DTD, drinking RLT and using EPO…I think honestly it really helped my labor progress so quickly as my induction was pretty quick compared to many that last days!! do you know when the MW's would offer a sweep??

Logan…nothing wrong with starting early…I have Hannukah then christmas…I like to double dip!!

Cassie…I think the 25th for you…eeks! Can't wait for more STC babies!!

AFM…feeling better today…Josephine is sleeping loads…maybe she is having a growth spurt…got some hydrogel to see it that helps soothe my sore nipples oh and my breasts are leaking everywhere…its crazy!! Last few days with DH…then he goes back to work monday...

 

[babydustcass]

Oh, i really hope shes here on or before her due date I am getting impatient. George was born the day before his due date, but labour started 2 days before that, he was born at 11.05pm too so an hour later and he would have arrived on his due date... if only we knew when they were going to be born lol, i could make sure my mum will be here in time (she lives 3 hrs drive away (on a good day)), get exact childcare sorted for George and be completely and fully prepared.

Just sitting at the lappy whilst bouncing on my ball as i type.

My curry was... erm... spicy! bleh!

Had some more mucus plug today, it seems to be coming away in bits

So pleased you are feeling better Andrea and things are going so well with little miss. How is DH about going back to work? I bet he doesnt want to leave you both!!


Ahhh Logan, i love christmas! If we hadn't just decorated the decs would be going up too lol, for now I am enjoying my new front room and furniture. I hate it when you take the decs back down and it looks so bare! I have been buying some new Christmas bits here and there but what I am really looking forward to is starting Christmas shopping (hopefully) next week.

 

[babydustcass]

Happy 39 weeks Rachel! XXXX

 

[Sun_Flower]

Andrea - I've got an antenatal appointment at 39+5 which is this Wednesday - they'll then schedule me for a sweep sometime the week after. If THAT doesn't work, they'll then schedule me for an induction at 42 weeks +

Really hoping I don't get THAT far, but I've still had no real symptoms lol. No plug, no contractions, no nothing. Oh well, it'll happen when it happens!

Logan - I totally want to put my Christmas decorations up now! There's no way I could convince OH though lol, so I'll just have to wait a couple of weeks before I do that.

Woah... is it weird that I've only just realised it's only a few weeks till I can put the xmas decorations up? Christmas has REALLY taken a back seat to me this year what with waiting for the baby and all... normally I'm counting down already and this year it's barely even registered! xx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

I think that's the case for most of us... it's so hard not to be pre-occupied.
My DH would not approve of the decs going up yet either, so we'll have to wait. Hopefully soon, though. Maybe if I start harping on him about it now, he'll do it on or before Thanksgiving.

Yay for more mucus plug, Cass... maybe you need some more curry to get things moving?

Andrea, isn't it ironic that all that time you were pregnant, DH didn't want to work and you were going mad, and now you could really use his help and he's got a job to go off to. Just the way things work, huh?
Where are your thoughts right now on going back to work yourself? Seems like you're taking to the SAHM thing pretty well...

Man, I really really want to start putting Christmas things up... maybe if I do like one thing at a time, DH won't notice...

 

[lilrojo]

I dont really care if my dh cares about me decorating for christmas.. whats the harm really.. its only 13 days till thanksgiving.. so who cares.. and its not like im asking him to do it.. so blah to him.. lol

 

[babydustcass]

morning girls, its 4am here.... so restless and cannot sleep so thought id stop fighting it and just wake up, sit on the lappy and await the feeling of tiredness. Failing that Ill get up at the crack of dawn and get the washing done, tidy up and maybe even have a bath?

 

[cranberry987]

Yup. Right there with ya. Was watching ER in bed just now and it put me back to sleep but the end credits woke me up....

Sorry not been on here much. Slept like shit all this week so just been dragging myself through

 

[Sun_Flower]

Well after sleeping from 3-7 last night, I STILL went to bed at 10pm and slept till 8am this morning. Must have needed the sleep I guess! Up now though, and raring to go and do my weekly mega clean already got the washing on, just about to start the kitchen. Determined to ignore my due date and just get on with things. Going to have a nice night at my aunt's house tonight with some yummy fajitas and mexican food, and going to start doing Christmas bits this week - wrapping presents, sorting out the xmas decorations ready to go up (I've got to sort out what can and can't go up as we're in a different house this year). PROCRASTINATION RULES! lol

 

[DrGomps]

Yay for festive christmas things!! I think there is nothing wrong with doing it a bit early. I need to get Josephine a stocking!! Eeks!! I also need to get on the announcements and christmas cards…

Cassie..maybe she will come even earlier!

Jen, its going to be tough when steve goes back because he is the one that does the laundry/dishes etc whilst I am glued at the boob. Regarding being a SAHM…I am loving it and don't miss work at all. I can't imagine leaving little Josephine with anyone else…I get anxious when I hand her off to others…but have been handing her to DH around 9/10 each night because i am exhausted and then he gets her down and then I do the rest of the night feedings…the last two nights its been consistently every 3 hours which I can handle…and she doesn't really cry much she just takes the boob for about 15 minutes then is out again. I really should try and pump at night but last night I couldn't be bothered. But sometimes she will fall asleep before having the other side. Anywho..she is asleep right now so going to go back and catch some more zzzs myself as we have 4 guests coming today!!

Morning Girls!!

Been to preggo yoga, had couple of clients now going to chill for a bit before making cupcakes then meal out with a big group 2nite... hmm would much rather be staying in !
Am feeling tired this week and my back is achey, even tho I had a massage on weds!
Just checked my diary for next week, it's a hectic one just keep thinking 3 more weeks left, come on come come on..

Andrea i think it sounds like u are doing a great job & coping really well !!
Cass & Raych really hope u don't have to wait too much longer !! Are u starting to feel uncomfortable yet?

Ohh I love Christmas, we'll prob put everything up first weekend in December although I would do it earlier if i could get away with it, but we're also decorating so not the best time !

Hope the other ladies are doing well !

P.S - Random.. but are we allowed to wear our own nightie/tee for labour or do they put u in a hospital gown ??

 

[truthbtold]

Hi ladies. Hope everyone is doing well. I didnt get a chance to read back but I see no labor has started yet for the thanksgiving mammas.

Afm I have a date set for my cerclage removal December 23rd and I couldnt be happier.

 

[cranberry987]

Our tree is going up November the 29th (or probably the weekend before tbh) as thats when the mw will come out to me without having a shitfit about him being premature. Realistically if it's the day before or something then I'm staying home but might have to shout at em down the phone.

Exciting about having a date for the stitch out have they said what they expect to happen once it's out?
