Lol Vic I guess I am kinda excited to get things going and finally meet Eden, however she ends up getting here lol. I need to re-do the Christmas tree, still haven't got round to fixing it since Ruby trashed it. Need to decorate the rest of the room too, just don't seem to be in the Christmas spirit enough to do it! I'm sure it'll come though xx

well my daughter has the most amazing timing ever, as it would appear I'm in labour... or at least the very early stages of it. Baby was moving around like mental all evening and her headbutting was really starting to hurt my cervix - every time her head moved it sent twinges all across my abdomen, so I went to bed at 10pm. Since laying down the cramps kept coming without her having to headbutt me, and I slept for about an hour, then strong cramps came and I felt like I had to poop, so I ran to the loo and stayed there for a while as the cramps weren't as bad in that position. Went back to bed for another hour and then at midnight I woke OH as the cramps were continuing. Had to run to the loo again as I felt the same sensation, spent a while there again and then rang L+D to ask whether my symptoms were early labour or could be anything else, seeing as I've never been through it before. Spoke to a really lovely midwife who said it definitely sounds like things are starting up, and advised me to take some paracetamol and have a bath because it's going to be a long process when it gets going. I asked her if its normal for the pain to get worse in certain positions (when I try and lay flat it's quite painful) and she said that that's quite common (it was that that was making me think maybe it wasn't labour because I thought contractions weren't affected by position). So I'm currently sitting on my ball, typing this and grimacing once in a while. Going to have a bath in a bit and just see what happens... I'm not calling my mum or anything yet because it'll probably be hours and hours (or I'll end up going all the way to Friday and have to be induced anyway) so we'll just have to see

Woohooo Raych! I was just thinking about little Eden and hopped online to check in on you.. exciting stuff!!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

AAAAA!!!! So... that was an hour and a half ago? Any news?

Sarah-- happy 32 weeks!! Wow!!
Who's on strike? Health care workers? What's going on over there?

I remember with Thomas, our "extra room" was so full of stuff... boxes... randomly-placed furniture... I hate to say it, but we didn't get it super-organized until AFTER he arrived... and he was a week late, so we had plenty of time.

Hope some progress is going on, Rachel!!

Still having contractions, trying to time them but they're not exactly regular, roughly six minutes apart ish. But they're not killing me so I assume it's not the real deal yet. Just sort of getting through them and waiting to see what happens.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Ooh, exciting!! Well, Eden has definitely reached her apparent goal of being a December baby... so she can come any time now!!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Well, ladies, my waters broke at 4:55am so Eden's definitely on her way! Just waiting for contractions to get strong enough to go in. Spoke to the midwife who says I can still have my water birth, yay! Think my daughter just likes to cut it as close as she possibly can, trouble already.

 

[Sun_Flower]

It's 6:05am, contractions are now three minutes apart, I think it's time I go in! Cass, text me if I'm alright to send you updates, didn't want to text you this early obviously with new baby. Wish me luck!

RAYCH !!!! Ohmygod I had a dream u went into labour in the night how weird is that !! But that u didn't call her Eden in the end..

Ah I'm so excited !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK PETAL !!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Hehehe I had labor and baby dreams ALL NIGHT!!! It was crazy...
She must've been intimidated by the threats to come get her if she didn't come on her own.
Can't wait for an update... Hm... three minutes apart at 6 am... It's now about 1 pm?
Hope she's here!!
Stacey-- you were so right!!

 

[truthbtold]

Yay for another baby coming. Where is the update? Raychel doesnt have a text buddy?

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Cassie, but Cassie is probably busy...
Has she said anything on facebook?

 

[FloridaGirl21]

nope nothing new on FB

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Boo... I hope everything is okay.
I'm sure it is. I'm sure they're just enjoying their new little one... I know I need to be more patient when waiting for updates...
And I know I'm going to (unintentionally) do the same thing when Crumb comes along. You all will know I went to the hospital and then you'll be waiting... Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure I'll have cell service in the hospital... some parts don't-- it's like they block the signal entirely... I might have to have someone go outside and text Logan...

 

[truthbtold]

Well ladies we wait lol.

Im seriously hoping I will be a december mommy. I am completely uncomfortable. But at least I only have 21 days left at work.

The White House christmas party is in 10 days and I still havent found a suitable dress. I have the dress I wore to the 2008 party I was nine months pregnant then too but I cant wear that again I was photographed in it.

 

[QueenVic]

Can't wait to hear... Fx'd all went well, thinking of u Raych !!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Erika, I think you have a good shot at being a December mommy.
What does one wear to a White House Christmas party???
