*~*~* The Decemberists! *~*~*

[smawfl]

Congratulations to your friend Gaiagirl!!

My cold from last week has developed into a tickly cough.. booo

Started drinking RLT yesterday, hope it has some benefit! That's on the basis baby decides to turn out of breech position! Have midwife appointment next Weds, fingers crossed!

 

[FeelSoBlessed]

I've found you all! I've missed my Decemberists sooooo much!!

I think I must've accidentally unsubscribed and thought at first that we were just a bit quiet... Then I thought our thread got erased or something!! I was devestated - DH is laughing saying I was close to tears... I had to go to our WTC thread to find the link!! I'm relieved!!!

I will have a good old catch up on my laptop later... Ladies... I'm round the corner - any minute now as the world keeps telling me!!! Arrrrhh! How exciting!!
Hope everyone is well and taking good care!!!

 

[gaiagirl]

Sorry about the cold smawfl...my DH might be developing one...of course the day before we leave on vacation! Hope not though...fingers crossed!

FSB - So glad we still have you...and SO excited for you! Hope it is sooner than later and all goes smoothly.

By the time I have my baby you will (almost) all have babies and probably be too busy to check in on here, lol.

AFM - glucose test came back clear and blood/urine all good! Wooohooo bring on the choc chip mint ice cream! haha

 

[smawfl]

Glad you found us again FSB!

Gaia hope you font catch the cold! Where are you off to on vacation? Glad your gtt is all good!

Spooky I've just devoured a mint choc chip ice cream! Delish!

 

[gaiagirl]

Mint choc chip is my fave, I have it in the freezer but have been going a bit easy waiting to hear about results. Not anymore! LOL

We are doing a road trip to Banff, AB and Lake Louise...about 15 hours away from us. Check out pics online, it is gorgeous...so excited.

Congrats on your glucose test, gaia! It's a relief, isn't it? I went out for lunch with my friend and had half a slice of cake while I was waiting for the results...I figured either I had passed and should celebrate, or it would be my last opportunity to eat sweets relatively guilt-free

Hope you have a wonderful time on vacation!

FSB, glad you've found us again so very excited to hear how things go for you the next few weeks!! Do you feel like it will happen soon?

Earlier on I thought I'd go early, but now I feel pretty sure I won't go into labor anytime soon. I'm guessing September 17th is the day he'll be born. I asked DH and he said the 16th (before hearing my guess). Anyone else have a feeling at this point about when you will give birth?

 

[seaweed eater]

Ooohhhh, Gaia, I spent a few days in Banff a couple years ago and went to Lake Louise as a child...such a gorgeous part of the country! Enjoy!

 

[smawfl]

Looks lovely Gaia!

Seaweed I think I will be late. My lmp date (26th sept) is more accurate based on ov. I also think my FILs moon theory may be accurate... he says in a pregnancy you need to have 9 full moons.. my 9th full moon is 29th September so I think that will be my date!

 

[minimoocow]

By the time I have my baby you will (almost) all have babies and probably be too busy to check in on here, lol.

I hope not . . . I do plan on getting PG soon and expect you all to check in on me or else it will be a bit lonely!!!

 

[gaiagirl]

Absolutely! I say we keep the thread going until we are all TTC the next one, lol.

 

[seaweed eater]

Of course! When I start thinking about that, I remember my buddies who are TTC...I haven't lost interest in them at all even though I'm no longer TTC myself. No reason it should be different once we have our babies! (Except for sleep deprivation, I guess. )

 

[smawfl]

Totally agree with Gaia and Seaweed! We are all here for you Mini, and will be there to hold your hand throughout pregnancy!!

I've had to take my wedding rings off boooo the heat had made my fingers swell a little. My hand feels so nakes

 

[seaweed eater]

Ha I took mine off weeks ago. Bought a cheap replacement ring for now. I just hope the real ones fit again after I give birth! I miss them!

 

[smawfl]

Oooh a cheap replacement ring... good idea however I don't think I can convince DH to get me ANOTHER ring, even a cheap one after he got me a diamond eternity ring for my 30th birthday to add to my ring collection (engagement ring and wedding band)!

 

[seaweed eater]

Mine was $7! It's just a plain gold colored band but it's something.

 

[smawfl]

How is everyone doing this weekend?

I washed all my baby clothes yesterday.. so cute hung out on the line, and so tiny!! took me ages as I made sure all the vests were together, all the sleepsuits together etc.. I think that will probably be the first and last time I'll actually have the time to do that!

 

[smawfl]

OMG I'm in the 'melon' stages! LOL

 

[HanyouMama]

Hey Ladies How are things going?

I am pretty dang excited right now My DH and I just finished painting Logan's room last night and we are going to set up his crib and other furniture that we have today Now i will finally have a place to put all of his things so they aren't strewn about the house!

 

[Pusscat]

Hi ladies. At last I've managed to dig out the lap top! It's been a busy week. We had our anniversary on wednesday last week and stayed in a lovely spa hotel in the Cotswolds. The spa was so so nice and the massage was very good. She found a lot of knots in my shoulders which I had no idea about. My shoulder was a bit sore for a few days after because of all the work she did on it She actually recommended I see a chiropractor after the pregnancy because she thought the shoulder tension might be something to do with my hips. And my hips can be painful so it does make sense. Not sure if I'll remember to do it but will try!

Then at the weekend we had a whole 2 days of antenatal classes. Had a bit of information overload to be honest and felt quite overwhelmed and emotional yesterday evening! But I'm glad we went. It was a good thing to do as a couple and DH has a much better understanding of everything now!

Han - hope you enjoy organising all of Logan's things!

smawfl - congrats on your melon status I made a start on my baby washing last week and it was definitely my favourite load of laundry I've ever done!! I even took a picture of it all on the washing line

I really hope this thread keeps going for a long time!! I see no reason why it can't gradually become a baby rants thread as the decemberist babies start arriving, whilst still providing support for our TTC friends.

Hope everyone has had a good monday!

 

[smawfl]

Hehe I took a photo of my washing line too

Glad you found the antenatal classes useful. Did you go for the NCT classes? We're not going to, have got our NHS ones next week and the week after.
