Morning Ladies

I can't remember.. how overdue did Andrea/Cass/Raych go please ??

Wouldn't it be nice if your due date was actually when baby was born, I feel like I am happy to wait until the weekend as think I will feel more mentally prepared then but the minute I go over I will start panicking that something will go wrong

Can't win !

Wow, I've missed a lot! Finally back from up North - had a lovely time, realised how much I miss it up there Not a lot I can do about that now though just got to get on with it lol Ended up staying at my mums with Eden last night and OH stayed at home, because all three of us have colds and my mum offered to take the baby so we could get some sleep, but I couldn't be without her overnight so I came too and Mum just woke up for her feeds, which was lovely. Feeling nice and rested today, although OH didn't get much sleep because he said he found it too weird without us there, aww!

I thought there'd be at LEAST one baby here by the time I got back, but they're all taking their time like Eden did!

RE: Gripe Water - it used to contain alcohol over here in the UK when I was little - I got hold of a bottle when I was about 5, used it in my tea set when I was having a tea party with my dolls, and fed it to the cat... she was stumbling about so much my mum thought she'd been hit by a car, but she was just completely drunk! Those poor cats went through hell with me - I tried to paint their claws with nail varnish once, but ended up spilling it on one of them and I got worried I'd get told off so I hid her in a drawer... my mum only found out when she went to get a pair of socks and this cat jumped out at her - she had to hold her down and cut out the fur that had nail varnish on! I was an angelic child really, honest...

Vic - Andrea gave birth on her due date, Cass was a few days late, and I was 13 days late (but I'm sure you won't be THAT overdue!) xx

Rachel!! You were an ornery kiddo, weren't you? I feel bad for the things Eden is going to do to Ruby in the coming years...

What does gripe water have in it? It's supposed to be all natural, isn't it? I never used it with DS but he maybe could've benefited from it.

Erika-- my calendar says full moon is tonight. Although maybe it depends on where you live? Idk. My understanding of anything even remotely related to astronomy is pathetic!
Anywho, come on out baby!!! It's time to be born!!!

Feeling okay so far today. Stayed up too late last night reading. Maybe the iron will start to kick in... hasn't so far... still felt lightheaded this morning...
Have to go pay the car insurance... might nip over to walmart since it's on the same road... pick up something small... pacifiers or something. Ooh, or maybe a little toy. Crumb has no toys yet.

 

[sspencer99]

aww jen yeah got some toys ava has none either
i want to go on a spree il get the chance in feb to shop galore
i have a friend at home whos baby is due friday she has no sign of her popping out

aww its making me soo impatient i want ava here NOW but i also want her fully backed and healthy xxxxx

 

[truthbtold]

Good Morning ladies. Not even a darn contraction lol this is sad. I cant wait to see the doctor tomorrow. Jen I think your right the full moon is tonight. So here's to hoping.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Stacey, I know what you mean. I really want Crumb here now, but I don't want him/her to have to spend a month in nicu-- and, for that matter, possibly taken to another hospital-- so it's worth waiting.
I'm looking forward to some other babies being born in the meantime to distract me!

I think I'll probably go a little overboard and buy whatever we don't have yet once we get our tax return-- which should be before baby comes. But just in case, I'm trying to get all the essentials first.

Erika, I don't know if I believe all that about the full moon-- I read an article last night and it basically said the full moon is supposed to have a pull on the amniotic fluid, similar to the pull on the oceans? Sounds a little far-fetched to me, but at this point, I'm in full support of anything that gets that baby born!!

 

[truthbtold]

Jen I dont think you going to go over im predicting a 38 weeker for you.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Hehe it will be 39 weeks and a few days. My dr will schedule my section at my next appt on the 19th.
That is one thing I don't envy you girls about. The waiting is agonizing!! I will know exactly when.
Hehe but I'll probably be freaking out the night before. I expect you all to calm me down!

Erika, I think your baby is waiting because he didn't want Beyonce's baby to steal his thunder!

 

[sept10]

Vick - the scans are pretty accurate but the sonographer did say to me that they can be up to five days out...so mentally i'm adding 5 days onto my due date and preparing for that to be the actual due date....then if i go over that its only really 5 days till they will induce!! Besides majority of first timers go late....
right now i'm happy to wait and even go a little late....my mum went late and was induced on all 4 of us but will see closer to the time if i'm still this patient!!! haha this is still only my first week finished work/uni stuff so not quite got to the bored stage yet...

 

[lilrojo]

Hey ladies..

Hope your all doing well..

Vicki-I to wouldnt worry too much about going over.. Almost all first time moms go over their due dates, and even second or third.. so dont be too mad if you do go over.. My first dr said most first time moms give birth between weeks 39-41.. so your doing fine..

Erika-hope baby comes soon..

AFM-dont have too much left to do for baby.. a few last things to get.. got my diaper bag and had fun buying mckenna some shirts for big sister.. Need to get wipes yet but i think thats about all.. then its just resting and having fun before baby..

Also im happy cuz i pretty much know when my baby will come too.. as he doesnt want me to get to my due date... so will be week 39 for sure.. possibly 38 weeks if im dialating at all for a sweep..

 

[sspencer99]

My back is killing me an I think my uterus is having a good old stretch think n early night for me too

Gl erika hope something happens for you xx

 

[DrGomps]

ooh Logan, I love the big sibling outfits...can't wait to get some for Josie..

Erika...sending you baby dust..I know how hard it is waiting for it to start...I never got a proper start...just had a slow leak of fluids...

Jen, it is nice that you will have a solid date and don't have to deal with the suspense...

Stacey..I know that feeling of wanting your baby now...but now that i have her I miss being pregnant (though I LOVE having her with me and all our cuddles).

 

[truthbtold]

Im fed up I think im just gonna beg for an induction tomorrow lol

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Think it'll work?

 

[truthbtold]

Lets hope so lol

 

[lilrojo]

Awww sorry Erika.. hope you can get a day set.. crazy how my dr has already talked to me about an induction at 39 weeks..

 

[FloridaGirl21]

ladies, been kinda lurking in here recently.. Dealing with MS already and just not feeling well 6 weeks today though! I have a scan scheduled for Saturday so that hopefully, we can see a HB!!

Ericka, FXed they give in and give you that induction today!! labor dust coming your way!

 

[sspencer99]

ohh yasa yay

[AmaryllisRed]

Happy 6 weeks, Ysa!

Happy due date, Erika!! Come on, baby!!! We have toys!!

Feeling crappy today. Seems like the iron isn't helping. Or at least not much, or maybe just not yet.
