Sticking Together Crew

[AmaryllisRed]

I have such a love for Ben and Jerry... don't tell my hubby!!

Well we have three girls (Josephine, Macie, and Eden), and then Helen, Erika, and Vicki are all having boys... isn't it weird how that worked out, with three girls and three boys? Anyway, so we are already even... 3-3... Interesting to see how the Team Greens turn out...

There's 6 of us in my Nct class. 3 knew we were having boys and three didn't knownthe sex. They all had girls oO. 4of the other 5 all went over 41w so statistically I'll be pre 40.

Morning, ladies... how are we?
Quiet around here lately...
Anyone have fun plans? I'm planning a nap. Very soon. DS is a mess. Not enough sleep last night.

Morning Jen (and everyone else)

I'm off to the cinema tonight with my sister to see Breaking Dawn - figured I might as well, as nothing else is happening. I HAVE had quite a lot of plug loss today, *TMI* kind of yellowy/ snot coloured streaked with brown/ dark red. Maybe things are moving along slowly on their own - at this point all I'm hoping for is that this means my cervix might be slightly dilated for my induction on Friday and they can skip the pessaries and just break my waters - that'd be nice. Still got backache - it's only on the left hand side though, feels like baby is either sitting on a nerve or I've pulled a muscle. Not comfortable Eden's still wiggling away, so she's still comfortable in there. Told her to start packing though, because we're coming in to get her in two days! xx

 

[truthbtold]

It has been quiet. I am still lurking around. No fun plans for me. My nesting faze was short lived lol I hope it comes back because there are things I need to do but have no energy to do them.

 

[FloridaGirl21]

morning ladies, no plans for me really.. DH is leaving to go hunting tonight, so I'll be alone.. Probably watch the newest Pirates of the Carribean & catch up with work, as I've been sick and was laid up in bed on Monday!

Hope everyone is well & something happens soon for you Raych

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Rachel-- that plug loss sounds very promising... Doesn't the chick in that movie have a baby? Wouldn't it be crazy if you were in the movie theater and went into labor?? Now that would be a story to tell!!
Anyway.
When they induced me with DS, they had just said they were about to break my waters, and I was sort of scared... I don't know how they do it but I had envisioned this long, pointy stick... and right before they did it, my waters broke on their own.
Hehe I giggled. It felt like I was peeing the bed.

My nesting seems to come and go... The other day I sat down with my Target catalog and made a(nother) list of everything we need for Crumb. Seems list-making is an important part of nesting for me.

Our check came today!!!! Hoping DH gets up in enough time before work that he can go cash it and then give me some money!!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Lol Jen yeah she does, and it would be kinda funny - I think I've totally discarded the idea that I'll go into labour myself now though... mind you, that's usually when things happen, when you don't expect them to, lol!

I have no idea how they break your waters, but I'm imagining a big pointy stick with a hook on the end or something...

 

[sspencer99]

hello all

rachel i love the fact you have put sorry TMI and then carried on lol

yes she does have a baby but rach does not want to have her baby the bella has hers its a bit gresume

but would be funny if you did go in to labour ( not for rach thou shed be pissed to miss the film)

i think that baby eden is on her way i reckon late tonite or tomorrow

hope everyone is having a good day

quick question over the weekend my bump go rather big and was doing a bit of streaching and now has shrunk is this normal

hope andrea and cass are all settled with the bubbas

xxxxx

 

[Sun_Flower]

My bump used to get bigger and smaller when Eden still had the room to roll around in there - think it's normal, it's just how they lay in different positions makes your bump look different sizes. Then you get further along and just look ginormous all the time...

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Hi, Stacey!
Oh, no, does Bella's baby come right through her belly? That's how I thought babies were born when I was a kid...

Haha Rachel, I hope if you do go into labor during the movie and have to leave, that they'll give you a free ticket to come back!!

Stacey, yes, that's normal for your bump to grow and shrink. It has happened to me, too... not sure why. I'm guessing it has partly to do with baby's position and also water retention and bloating. Totally normal. I have days where I feel little and days where I feel huge.

 

[lilrojo]

Hey ladies..

Rachel fxed for you still that Eden comes on her own..

no plans here either.. just looking on amazon for baby stuff.. not essential things just fun things.. lol

Hope you all have a good day..

 

[AmaryllisRed]

If DH were nice and would give me a few hundred bucks out of this check... I would totally spend it all today on amazon!

 

[sspencer99]

Lol thanx guys and Jen she breaks her back and then the baby is ripped out of her by her vampire husband with his teeth (nice) lol

I'm sure none of that will be happenin to rach xxxx

 

[lilrojo]

Jen.. im shopping online at amazon.. what else do you need to get for crumb..

is your registry easy to view..

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Should be... Try this link: https://www.amazon.com/registry/baby/2F9EVIB7JLRQA
That's probably not everything I need... just stuff I see that I like when I'm browsing.
I still need sooooo much. I mean, all I've bought so far is that one outfit... and we got back our tub (missing the insert), our swing (possibly missing parts), and our walker (that I actually fed DS in a lot of the time, too). And we kept our playyard w/bassinet and changing table, thank goodness, but it's been in the basement, so hopefully it's not mildewed. It's been kept away from the water when it's come in, so it should be okay with a good scrub-down. (Which will be DH's job.)
We need everything else, really... I kept DS's bottles... but I sort of feel weird about re-using them...
And of course we have boy clothes from 18 mos and up.
Sometimes I feel like we have nothing and other days I feel like we don't need much. Depends on my mood, I guess.

Rach - i figure your baby was holding out till after the strikes - haha...all the midwives will be back in work tomorrow and Eden will be on her way!!!

Our changing mat arrived this morning - the little spare room soon to be nursery is well and truly rammed now!! Need to start sorting out the back bedroom to make room for everything!!

Managed to finish off half of one of my assignments today - not as much as i'd hope to get done but have a study day tomorrow so fingers crossed ill finish it!!

supposed to be on strike today but didn't think standing on a picket line or marching in the city centre was very appropriate at 32 weeks - haha...i was there in spirit!!

 

[lilrojo]

Yay for getting things Sarah.. hope you get a chance to organize soon.. when are you going on leave.. cant believe your 32 weeks.. happy 32 weeks by the way..

Jen-I love looking at baby stuff on amazon..

 

[Sun_Flower]

Lol well Breaking Dawn didn't result in Breaking Waters (tee hee) - gonna have a late dinner and then go to bed I think. Can't believe it's December tomorrow, it's mad! Going to get everything sorted tomorrow ready for the induction Friday - get some magazines and stuff to entertain me during the long wait etc. Anyone got any good plans for the weekend? xxx

 

[QueenVic]

Sarah our small spare room is exactly the same, RAMMED !! Can't wait for it to be transformed into a nursery.. the weeks are just disappearing

Raych I know it's not exactly how u had planned it but are u excited for Friday??

Jen & Logan I am obsessed with Amazon ! It's just too easy isn't it !! eek..
