Jen I think it made me sleepy. I am so tired.

I cant wait to go on leave...I plan to sit around and do nothing!!! lol Atleast until the baby comes.

 

[DrGomps]

LOL…Mondays now feel like another day.

Cran, I would suggest you do everything you love and enjoy as much as you can…i think you already did a bit of pampering…maybe catch up on some tv…start a project around the house you have been putting off, read a good book. your life is going to change drastically really soon!! Eeks.. I still can't believe Rich managed to stick EPO up your urethra!! I don't know if the perineal helped me or not…but i did manage to push out a huge head (86th percentile) with just a second degree, which isn't bad all things considered. And it was a rough, 2 hours of pushing. I hope you labor goes quickly and smoothly….and I hope he comes soon…we need our first male STC baby!!


AFM….I finished the calendar….and ordered one for each set of grandparents.

Helen, Itried castor oil and it made me vomit. no labor.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Erika-- oh no! I can't afford to be any sleepier!! When are you done at work? When is your White House party, or did it already happen?

Andrea-- great work!! I love March, July, and August. When you get to November... and she's about to be a year old... and you see that picture of you and her... awwwwwwww.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Maybe I'll have some chocolate milk and tell myself it's hot chocolate.
It will help with the heartburn, anyway... that I got from my CEREAL!!!!

Hi Girls

I haven't managed to get bored on leave yet.. lots of cleaning house out & doing jobs around the house, xmas shopping, watching tv, catching up with friends, gym, swimming, walking..washing pickles clothes etc..online shopping, wrapping prezzies, writing cards.. errands that I don't usually get round to..

In the next week I'll have the new bedroom to sort out and then the nursery so should take me up to xmas !

WELL there is no way my OH would do my perineal massage, I joked about it a few times & u should have seen his face! Luckily I can do it myself just sit on towel on bathroom floor with a mirror & my oil, so glamorous !

Aww Andrea love those pics, so cute

 

[FloridaGirl21]

hey ladies, hope everyone is doing well. Andrea, love the piccies

so here we are again, O time.. And I keep worrying about whether or not it's going to be a strong enough O, a poor egg, etc.. I guess there isn't much I can do. But I don't feel so excited to be O'ing.

Jen the party was last night. I was upset my dress came thursday and couldnt fit so I spent all of saturday trying to find a dress, I ended up wearing a skirt and blouse from motherhood. I took a few pictures of the decorations I will upload them tonight or tommorrow.

Andrea I love the pictures so cute!

8.5 half more days of work for me.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Awww, Erika, what a bummer about the dress. Hope you had fun anyway, though!

Ysa, that looks pretty dark... irl is it positive? Looks pretty close on here... Try not to worry about it... you can never tell for sure what your body is doing or not doing...

Happy 35 weeks, Vicki!! Hehe I was like, she's washing pickles??? ... oh, clothes!!

 

[FloridaGirl21]

Jen, yeah, I think it's positive.. half of the test line is as dark as the control line

 

[lilrojo]

[FloridaGirl21]

copy and pasting this from my journal:

here's my test from just now.. I had to bribe DH so that I can be sure that we DTD for the next few days. So he's happy that he's getting something that he's been wanting w/ my next paycheck so he just made a deposit The twinge feeling has now turned into cramping, on the left side only. Surely it's too soon to O, seeing as I'm still surging, right? Anyway, I wanted to make sure that we DTD right away, cause that's something that we never do. I always assume I'll O soonest 12 hours after getting my +OPK, so I take my time w/ getting him to the bedroom.. Also used preseed & a soft cup

[truthbtold]

Good Luck catching your egg Ysa!!!! I hope this is it for you.

Stacey its a great experience, yesterday was the first year I have take my dh and he actually got a little star struck when it was time to take the picture with the president and first lady lol he had this silly grin on his face it was hilarious. I cant wait until they print the photos. He spent the rest of the evening worried about how the photo was going to come out. I usually try to rotate my guest, one year I took my grandmother, my favorite uncle, my best friend. Next year I may take my oldest son. It kinda sucks now, in the past we use to be able to bring spouse and kids or one guest now its just one guest.

 

[cranberry987]

Just had a scan (baby size fine and healthy all round) and consultant appt. My bp is up but no protein in urine. They did blood test for pre eclampsia just in case. I'm being admitted for bp monitoring tomorrow (24 hrs) and it's not likely to go down so it's probably inducing weds/thurs.

It's fine as home birth was only the plan all being well. I have a positive mindset about it all and I think I can rock the induction to the best of my abilities. Cervix totally closed today so they couldn't do a sweep, and the doesn't bode well but whatever will be will be. I know my options and have decided to take the medical one. Some ppl don't even know the alternatives. Will do a home birth style induction.

Will probably be bored out of my mind tomorrow sat in hospital so will be on letting you know how my bp is looking.

One good thing is baby will be here by Xmas and won't have a rubbish Xmas birthday.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Oh, that's so cool! Hehe I would totally get starstruck, too! And I haven't really even liked any of our presidents.

Several years ago, one of the presidential candidates came to town and I went with some friends... I don't even remember who it was but I thought it was really cool to see... I felt like I was a part of history... It makes me mad that I don't even remember who it was... Hmmm... It would've been 2000? Or 2004? Maybe Gore?
Ugh. Politics are so not my strong point. (Obviously.)

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Helen-- yay, so you'll be able to update us while you're in? I was worried we would have to sit around waiting and wondering.
What's a home birth style induction?

 

[cranberry987]

Just a normal induction but with my hb head on. So hypnobirthing through it all. Trying to make it all as calm as possible. I know it's gonna hurt like buggery but maybe it won't. And maybe I can get through a few hours of it until my endorphins kick in. Who knows. Maybe I'll have an epi as I walk in the room.

 

[truthbtold]

Helen so the first boy will be here maybe before the end of the week.. thats great. Sucks about your bp though. Will you have internet access in the hospital tomorrow? If so you could always hang out on bnb.

Jen, I actually hate politics, I wanted to work for the FBI since I was 12. Somehow I ended up here lol. Im only 29 so eventually I may make the switch.
