[mammag]

I know, it's so little. Can't wait till she wears it

 

[Grumblebea]

Did you make that??? It's beautiful. I can't make squat :/ not artsy at all.

 

[Jess19]

Aww its adorable

 

[waiting2c]

Very cool grace

 

[MrsStutler]

Awww that tutu is adorable! I'm crafty but I'm also impatient...this usually results in half-assed projects because I refuse to do anything the "right" way

Honey-I'm getting so excited for you! I hope you don't have too much longer to go, those pains can be a real...well...pain!

Well Roxas had his 6 month check up today and I got some not so good news. He has lost 12oz since his 4 month check up. So now he doesn't even register on the growth chart. I feel like a complete failure today, like I'm not a good enough mom to feed my baby properly, especially since it is my milk that is supposed to be making him gain weight and thrive. The doctor was pretty concerned and he is going back in a month to check his weight and get another shot.
I was doing ok with my moods but since the disappointment of AF arriving and failing my first test, then this on top of it all I feel like nothing is going right at the moment and I'm back in my rut. I just don't feel like doing anything, besides crying. On the brighter side I looked into the counselor my doctor recommended and my insurance actually covers their services. I thought we wouldn't be able to afford it so I never even bothered to call but I think I will be giving them a call Monday morning. I need to sort out quite a few things in this head of mine.

 

[waiting2c]

Kayla - you are in no way a failure!! Def a good idea to call, just having an impartial ear to talk to can make a massive difference

 

[honeysuede]

Grace that is soooo cute

Kayla - You are NOT a failure it's shit that all these things seem to happen at once, they say good & bad luck comes in 3's so hopefully this is the end of your bad luck spurt. Hope you feel more positive soon

As for me, no development. I am fine with that though don;t mind waiting as I kinda always thought I would be overdue. I haven;t got to the fed up stage that everyone talks about.... yet! xx

 

[mammag]

I agree with T Kayla. Bad luck happens in 3's. So something good will happen next. Did your doc give you any specific instructions on feedings or anything? I never experienced a baby losing weight except for after their first born. So I have no advice

 

[Jess19]

kayla your doing a great job!!
Has Roxas started to get any teeth yet? Sometimes they get a little fussy and loose some weight when they teeth.

Honey the waiting game eventually gets boring lol I hope you don't get to the "fed up" part and he comes before that

 

[honeysuede]

How is everyone doing today?
No progress for me, just had 2 emotional crying fits since last night which is odd, think it all finally sunk in, stupid hormones
xxx

 

[Jess19]

hi I'm doing good
We took the kids to the fair last night, they had so much fun lol and I ate so much food

Not too long now honey! How many days left?
Its a very emotional time for you riht now, its to be expected how did your DH handle it?

 

[mammag]

I'm doing good! Did SIL's baby shower yesterday. All those games and she got just a TON of stuff. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have at least a couple fleeting 'that should be me' moments. But all in all it was a good day. Getting so close now, I can't wait till the baby gets here

 

[honeysuede]

Glad the shower went well Grace and it's only natural to feel that way

Jess - 2 days tildue day for me Can't see this one coming before then though. I KNOW my dates are correct which means my original due date is 24th/25th. I reckon little one will come on the 25th, a week late by hospital dates. But hey, it's my first so what do I know xxx

 

[Jess19]

Grace did you give your SIL the tutu and headband you made for the little one??
When is she due?

I can't wait for my baby shower there's going to be so much pink!

Honey why did they change your due date??
You never know when the baby could come. One day it could just happen!
Some women know its comming because you have light contractions for a few days before.
But not me, my water just broke one day (one night I should say lol) when my water broke I was sleeping (2am) and it woke me up. I was having a dream I was on the phone with my cousin and I was telling her I had something really important to tell her but I had to answer the call on the other line first. When I went to answer the other call I woke up! It was a crazy dream!
I had no idea though that day that I would have been going into labor. But if I look back at that day I had HORRIBlE heartburn, which I never really had. So maybe that was a sign
My friend just had her daughter back in Jan (her 2nd kid) and she said the only "sign" she had the day she wen into labor was a nose bleed. She was washing her hands in the bathoom at work and all of a sudden her nose just started bleeding! With her first she didn't remember anything (it was almost 10yrs ago)

Who knows maybe one day it will just happen!!
Hopefuly sooner than later

Yes very true, it could happen at any moment, exciting They changed my due date at my 12 week scan. I am now due exactly 9 months to the day from the first day of my last period (18th december 2011). That is odd abut that dream you had, your body must have known to wake you up. xxx

 

[Jess19]

Oh I see what you mean about possibly being late, 9 months from the first day of your last priod would make you like 38 weeks then, kinda.
I guess it all depends on when you ovulated then

 

[Grumblebea]

Laura are you anywhere Fairmouth or Dover England?

 

[mammag]

I did and she loved it! She's due on Oct. 27th. My other SIL, who is 17, the one who got pregnant and miscarried at the same time I did, just announced she is pregnant again too. So I see lots of baby sitting in my future. Especially for Ashley, I'm the only girl in the immediate family who doesn't work, and she's going to need someone while she's in school and working. Might as well be me!

Laura are you anywhere Fairmouth or Dover England?

No I'm quite a way from there
